Secondary school and college and university teachers may wish to use portions of Icons of Mathematics as a supplement in problem solving sessions, as enrichment material in a course on proofs and mathematical reasoning, or in a mathematics course for liberal arts students.
What are the icons of mathematics? After many years working with visual proofs, the authors believe that certain geometric diagrams play a crucial role in visualizing mathematical proofs. In this book they present twenty of them, icons of mathematics, and they explore the mathematics that lies within the "icons" and that can be created from them.
Some of the icons have a long history both inside and outside of mathematics (yin and yang, star polygons, the Venn diagram, etc.). But most of them are essential geometrical figures that enable us to explore an extraordinary range of mathematical results (the bride's chair, the semicircle, the rectangular hyperbola, etc.).
Icons of Mathematics starts with a table of the authors' twenty key icons. A chapter is devoted to each, illustrating its presence in real life, its primary mathematical characteristics and how it plays a central role in visual proofs of a wide range of mathematical facts. Among these are classical results from plane geometry, properties of the integers, means and inequalities, trigonometric identities, theorems from calculus, and puzzles from recreational mathematics. Each chapter ends with challenges and the answers to those challenges are in the back of the book.
A hardcover version of this book is available in our print bookstore.

- Dynamic enhancement of fluctuation signals at the QCD phase transition (2013)
- We study the impact of nonequilibrium effects on the relevant signals within a chiral fluid dynamics model including explicit propagation of the Polyakov loop. An expanding heat bath of quarks is coupled to the Langevin dynamics of the order parameter fields. The model is able to describe relaxational processes, including critical slowing down and the enhancement of soft modes near the critical point. At the first-order phase transition we observe domain formation and phase coexistence in the sigma and Polyakov loop field leading to a significant amount of clumping in the energy density. This effect gets even more pronounced if we go to systems at finite baryon density. Here the formation of high-density clusters could provide an important observable signal for upcoming experiments at FAIR and NICA.We conclude that improving our understanding of dynamical symmetry breaking is important to give realistic estimates for experimental observables connected to the QCD phase transition.
- Correlated D-meson decays competing against thermal QGP dilepton radiation (2013)
- The QGP that might be created in ultrarelativistic heavy-ion collisions is expected to radiate thermal dilepton radiation. However, this thermal dilepton radiation interferes with dileptons originating from hadron decays. In the invariant mass region between the f and J=y peak (1GeV <= M l+l <=. 3GeV) the most substantial background of hadron decays originates from correlated DD¯ -meson decays. We evaluate this background using a Langevin simulation for charm quarks. As background medium we utilize the well-tested UrQMD-hybrid model. The required drag and diffusion coefficients are taken from a resonance approach. The decoupling of the charm quarks from the hot medium is performed at a temperature of 130MeV and as hadronization mechanism a coalescence approach is chosen. This model for charm quark interactions with the medium has already been successfully applied to the study of the medium modification and the elliptic flow at FAIR, RHIC and LHC energies. In this proceeding we present our results for the dilepton radiation from correlated D¯D decays at RHIC energy in comparison to PHENIX measurements in the invariant mass range between 1 and 3 GeV using different interaction scenarios. These results can be utilized to estimate the thermal QGP radiation.
- Studies of dilepton production in coarse-grained transport dynamics (2013)
- As microscopic transport models usually have difficulties to deal with in-medium effects in heavy-ion collisions, we present an alternative approach that uses coarse-grained output from transport calculations with the UrQMD model to determine thermal dilepton emission rates. A four-dimensional space-time grid is set up to extract local baryon and energy densities, respectively temperature and baryon chemical potential. The lepton pair emission is then calculated for each cell of the grid using thermal equilibrium rates. In the current investigation we inlcude the medium-modified r spectral function by Eletsky et al., as well as contributions from the QGP and four-pion interactions for high collision energies. First dielectron invariant mass spectra for Au+Au collisions at 1.25 AGeV and for dimuons from In+In at 158 AGeV are shown. At 1.25 AGeV a clear enhancement of the total dilepton yield as compared to a pure transport result is observed. In the latter case, we compare our outcome with the NA60 dimuon excess data. Here a good agreement is achieved, but the yield in the low-mass tail is underestimated. In general the results show that the coarse-graining approach gives reasonable results and can cover a broad collision-energy range.
- Hadronic freeze-out in A+A collisions meets the lattice QCD parton-hadron transition line (2013)
- We analyze hadrochemical freeze-out in central Pb+Pb collisions at CERN SPS and LHC energies. Employing the UrQMD hybrid transport model we study the effects of the final hadron/resonance expansion phase on the hadron multiplicities established at hadronization. The bulk meson yields freeze out directly at hadronization whereas the baryon-antibaryon sector is subject to significant alterations, due to annihilation and regeneration processes. We quantify the latter changes by survival factors for each species which are applied to modify the statistical model predictions for the data. The modified SM analysis recovers the hadronization points, which coincide with the recent lattice QCD predictions of the parton-hadron transition line at finite baryochemical potential.
- Hadronization, chemical equilibrium and chemical freeze-out (2013)
- Recent results on baryon production in relativistic heavy ion collisions show that a revision of the chemical freeze-out conditions is necessary. Particularly, there is evidence that chemical freezeout does not occur at full chemical equilibrium. We present a method to reconstruct original hadronization conditions and show that the newly found points in the T − µB plane are in very good agreement with extrapolations of the lattice QCD critical line.
- In silico analysis of cell cycle synchronisation effects in radiotherapy of tumour spheroids (2013)
- Abstract: Tumour cells show a varying susceptibility to radiation damage as a function of the current cell cycle phase. While this sensitivity is averaged out in an unperturbed tumour due to unsynchronised cell cycle progression, external stimuli such as radiation or drug doses can induce a resynchronisation of the cell cycle and consequently induce a collective development of radiosensitivity in tumours. Although this effect has been regularly described in experiments it is currently not exploited in clinical practice and thus a large potential for optimisation is missed. We present an agent-based model for three-dimensional tumour spheroid growth which has been combined with an irradiation damage and kinetics model. We predict the dynamic response of the overall tumour radiosensitivity to delivered radiation doses and describe corresponding time windows of increased or decreased radiation sensitivity. The degree of cell cycle resynchronisation in response to radiation delivery was identified as a main determinant of the transient periods of low and high radiosensitivity enhancement. A range of selected clinical fractionation schemes is examined and new triggered schedules are tested which aim to maximise the effect of the radiation-induced sensitivity enhancement. We find that the cell cycle resynchronisation can yield a strong increase in therapy effectiveness, if employed correctly. While the individual timing of sensitive periods will depend on the exact cell and radiation types, enhancement is a universal effect which is present in every tumour and accordingly should be the target of experimental investigation. Experimental observables which can be assessed non-invasively and with high spatio-temporal resolution have to be connected to the radiosensitivity enhancement in order to allow for a possible tumour-specific design of highly efficient treatment schedules based on induced cell cycle synchronisation. Author Summary: The sensitivity of a cell to a dose of radiation is largely affected by its current position within the cell cycle. While under normal circumstances progression through the cell cycle will be asynchronous in a tumour mass, external influences such as chemo- or radiotherapy can induce a synchronisation. Such a common progression of the inner clock of the cancer cells results in the critical dependence on the effectiveness of any drug or radiation dose on a suitable timing for its administration. We analyse the exact evolution of the radiosensitivity of a sample tumour spheroid in a computer model, which enables us to predict time windows of decreased or increased radiosensitivity. Fractionated radiotherapy schedules can be tailored in order to avoid periods of high resistance and exploit the induced radiosensitivity for an increase in therapy efficiency. We show that the cell cycle effects can drastically alter the outcome of fractionated irradiation schedules in a spheroid cell system. By using the correct observables and continuous monitoring, the cell cycle sensitivity effects have the potential to be integrated into treatment planing of the future and thus to be employed for a better outcome in clinical cancer therapies.
- Direct photon emission in heavy ion collisions from microscopic transport theory and fluid dynamics : XLVIII International Winter Meeting on Nuclear Physics, BORMIO2010, January 25 - 29, 2010, Bormio, Italy (2010)
- Direct photon emission in heavy-ion collisions is calculated within a relativistic micro+macro hybrid model and compared to the microscopic transport model UrQMD. In the hybrid approach, the high-density part of the collision is calculated by an ideal 3+1-dimensional hydrodynamic calculation, while the early (pre-equilibrium-) and late (rescattering-) phase are calculated with the transport model. Different scenarios of the transition from the macroscopic description to the transport model description and their effects are studied. The calculations are compared to measurements by the WA98-collaboration and predictions for the future CBM-experiment are made.
- Implications on the collision dynamics via azimuthal sensitive HBT from UrQMD : the Seventh Workshop on Particle Correlations and Femtoscopy, September 20 - 24 2011, University of Tokyo, Japan (2011)
- We explore the shape and orientation of the freezeout region of non-central heavy ion collisions. For this we fit the freezeout distribution with a tilted ellipsoid. The resulting tilt angle is compared to the same tilt angle extracted via an azimuthally sensitive HBT analysis. This allows to access the tilt angle experimentally, which is not possible directly from the freezeout distribution. We also show a systematic study on the system decoupling time dependence on dNch/dh, using HBT results from the UrQMD transport model. In this study we found that the decoupling time scales with (dNch/dh)1/3 within each energy, but the scaling is broken across energies.
- Nanolesions induced by heavy ions in human tissues: experimental and theoretical studies (2012)
- The biological effects of energetic heavy ions are attracting increasing interest for their applications in cancer therapy and protection against space radiation. The cascade of events leading to cell death or late effects starts from stochastic energy deposition on the nanometer scale and the corresponding lesions in biological molecules, primarily DNA. We have developed experimental techniques to visualize DNA nanolesions induced by heavy ions. Nanolesions appear in cells as "streaks" which can be visualized by using different DNA repair markers. We have studied the kinetics of repair of these "streaks" also with respect to the chromatin conformation. Initial steps in the modeling of the energy deposition patterns at the micrometer and nanometer scale were made with MCHIT and TRAX models, respectively.
- HBT radii from the UrQMD transport approach at different energies (2011)
- We present results on Hanbury Brown-Twiss (HBT) radii extracted from the Ultra-relativistic Molecular Dynamics (UrQMD) approach to relativistic heavy ion collisions. The present investigation provides a comparison of results from pure hadronic transport calculations to a Boltzmann + Hydrodynamic hybrid approach with an intermediate hydrodynamic phase. For the hydrodynamic phase different Equations of State (EoS) have been employed, i.e. bag model, hadron resonance gas and a chiral EoS. The influence of various freeze-out scenarios has been investigated and shown to be negligible if hadronic rescatterings after the hydrodynamic evolution are included. Furthermore, first results of the source tilt from azimuthal sensitive HBT and the direct extraction from the transport model are presented and exhibit a very good agreement with E895 data at AGS.

Mike Benton knows precisely what he's getting into. In his eight seasons as the only broadcaster in Stockton Thunder history, he visited Anchorage more than a dozen times for series against the ECHL's Alaska Aces, so he's familiar with that hockey franchise, the town and Sullivan Arena. Plus, he's got an aunt, uncle and cousins who live here.
Benton's coming back to town soon -- for the long haul, this time.
The Aces on Thursday announced they have hired Benton, 32, as their radio and television broadcaster, and their director of media relations.
He replaces Josh Bogorad, who earlier this month accepted a radio gig with the NHL's Dallas Stars.
Benton, who in 2009 received the ECHL's Media Relations Award of Excellence and three times has called the radio broadcast of the circuit's All-Star Game, said he sees the move north as a great opportunity. It is not lost on him that the previous two guys to hold the Aces job advanced to the NHL -- Bogorad's predecessor, Jack Michaels, is the radio play-by-play man for the Edmonton Oilers.
"Ultimately, this was an opportunity way too good to pass up,'' Benton said in a telephone interview. "In seeing what Jack and Josh have parlayed this opportunity into, it makes it very appealing.''
Particularly appealing to Benson is the television aspect -- the Aces broadcast all home games statewide, though not in the Anchorage market. Benton said he owns some television experience -- Stockton broadcast three home games a few seasons ago and he did some television work in college -- but the dozens of television broadcasts he will do for the Aces each season will significantly expand his skills.
Particularly appealing to the Aces is Benson's social-media credentials. In Stockton, he furnished the Thunder a strong presence on Facebook and Twitter -- he also is active on his own Twitter account, @Benton_Mike -- and also made video content a strong element on the Thunder website.
"He has a skill set which we don't have, which is the social-media stuff,'' said Aces managing partner Terry Parks.
Parks said Benton topped a list of 40 applicants.
Benton become the second Stockton Thunder employee to land a new job in Anchorage recently. Former Thunder head coach Matt Thomas, who engineered that club's playoff defeat of the Aces on the way to the Kelly Cup Finals last spring, earlier this summer was named head coach at UAA.
"A colleague of mine joked, 'When are you going to be cutting the cord and stop following (Thomas) to a new city?' '' Benton said with a laugh.
Parks said Benton benefitted from strong recommendations from Thomas and Bogorad.
"That had a lot of say about it,'' Parks said. "You want to go with somebody you know instead of taking a longshot.''
Benton said he is flying to Anchorage on Sept. 1 and his wife Amy, a teacher, will follow about a month later.
One of Benton's first goals is to engage Aces fans, known as the Cowbell Crew. He's witnessed the passion of Anchorage fans.
"You really understand the high degree of responsibility that comes with the job,'' he said. "I want to deliver an informative and entertaining broadcast.''
That, and get ready for the transition from California to Alaska.
"Needless to say, my wife Amy and I are going to be putting a lot of resources into extra clothing,'' Benton said.

Following Faith
Some Mormons chime in against Arizona's religious-freedom bill
The Utah-based LDS Church has taken no official stance on Arizona's hotly disputed and now-vetoed religious-freedom bill, but more than 100 Mormons sure have.
They're against it — and said so in an open letter this week to Gov. Jan Brewer and state legislators, according to a blog on the Human Rights Campaign website.
"As Mormons, we feel a call to 'mourn with those that mourn ... comfort those that stand in need of comfort' and protect the persecuted from persecution," they wrote. " … We express sadness that many LGBTQ individuals, even in our own community, have endured significant pain when encountering conflicting beliefs, misunderstanding, and often fear from Latter-day Saints. We are appalled to see this fear codified into Arizona statute under the guise of protecting religious freedom."
SB1062, which Brewer vetoed Wednesday, would have provided legal protection to people who, on religious grounds, refuse service to gays.
The letter — "facilitated" by HRC's Religion and Faith Program, writes blogger Paul Guequierre — cites a painful episode in LDS history: the 1838 Extermination Order by Missouri Gov. Lilburn Boggs in which he declared Mormons "enemies" who needed to be "exterminated" or "driven from the state."
"We were unpopular, part of a minority, and unable to fight for fair and equal treatment. We lived in a country founded on freedom of religion, but were not permitted to practice our own," the Mormons wrote in opposing SB1062. " … We strongly feel we should be able to exercise and protect our own religious rights. However, it is also in our culture not to use government to impose our will on anyone who worships differently."
The letter writers added that they "do not believe it just to mingle religious influence with civil government, whereby one religious society is fostered and another proscribed in its spiritual privileges, and the individual rights of its members, as citizens, denied."
" … It is not our place to judge others," they wrote. "Nor is it our place to cast our own beliefs on to those who see differently than we do. This bill, however, allows us and others to do just that."
While high-level Mormon leaders have been at the forefront in the fight for religious liberties — apostle Dallin H. Oaks, a former Utah Supreme Court justice, addressed the issue earlier this week in a speech at Brigham Young University-Idaho — the LDS Church has been silent on the Arizona measure.
"The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints has not taken an official position on AZ SB1062," said Cindy Packard, a church spokeswoman for Arizona. "However, members are encouraged to be responsible citizens and become informed on the issue, then decide for themselves what their own, personal stance may be."
That is precisely what this group of Mormons did.

NASA Space Shuttle Enterprise Added to National Register of Historic Places
Not only is the Enterprise, NASA's original prototype space shuttle, a historic spacecraft, but now it's also a historic place. Located in New York City at the Intrepid Sea, Air & Space Museum, the test orbiter has been added to the National Register of Historic Places.
The Enterprise is the first of NASA's retired space shuttles to receive the distinction, which is given out by the National Park Service.
The National Register of Historic Places is the United States' official list of properties considered worthy of preservation, and was first authorized in 1966 as part of the National Historic Preservation Act. The register is also part of a national program to coordinate and provide support for both public and private efforts to identify, evaluate, and protect the U.S.'s historic and archeological resources.
The Enterprise is a full-scale test spacecraft that was used for flight trials inside the atmosphere and tests on the ground. It also helped to pave the way for orbiters worthy of space travel to launch into orbit.
The Enterprise was transferred to its permanent home in 2012 on board the Intrepid, a converted World War II aircraft carrier that is a National Historic Landmark. Before settling down in Manhattan, Enterprise was on display by the Smithsonian at the Steven F. Udvar-Hazy Center, which is the Virginia annex to the National Air and Space Museum.
The spacecraft's exhibit on the Intrepid's flight deck first opened to the public in July 2012. It unfortunately sustained some damage from Hurricane Sandy last fall, when it had only been open for three months. The pavillon was damaged beyond repair and the shuttle sustained some minor damage to its tale. A temporary shelter was taken down this week, which revealed that the Enterprise had been repaired. Preparations are now being made for a new display structure around the shuttle. The new space shuttle pavilion is expected to open to the public in early summer.
Enterprise was granted Historic Place status on March 13.
More than 1.4 million buildings, sites, districts, structures and objects have been added to the National Register of Historic Places since its creation in 1966, providing a link to the United States' heritage at the national, state, and local levels.

Don't Just Watch the movie… live it, Rocky style!
What many critics thought was going to be a joke, has turned out to be the surprise hit of the holiday season. Lavished with praise by the nation's top film critics, ROCKY BALBOA rekindles all of the warmth and magic of the first film. I personally couldn' t recommend it higher. Also, you have one day left to enjoy one of our best promotions of the year.

It is, I can safely say, that if my son did not have the position, the job that he sought out, maybe he would be alive today. But I would not say that the rap industry murdered him."

Alberto CAMPO BAEZA was born in Valladolid (1946), first saw the light in CADIZ ( Spain ) and the Architecture in MADRID (Degree 1971) P.H.D. in 1982. He became Chairman and Professor of Design in MADRID in 1986. He has taught in E.T.H. Zurich as a gästdozent in 1989-1990. He has also been teaching in Dublin (1992), Naples (1993), Virginia Tech.- Blacksburg and Copenhagen (1996). He has moreover taught in EPFL Lausanne as a p. invité in 1997, in University of Pennsylvania (1986 and 1999), BAUHAUS in Weimar (2002), IIT Chicago (2003). He has been Visiting Scholar in Columbia University (2003), lecturer in Harvard (2002), Miami (2002), Columbia U. New York (2002), IIT Chicago (2003), Palladian Basilica in Vicenza (2004) and Kansas S.U. (2005).
The center, located in Trevisio, Italy, is designed by the talented spanish architect who conceived the project as a square box made up of nine squares. The square in the center emerges to take light from the height of the vestibule. The classrooms are arranged in the surrounding squares.
"IMPLUVIUM OF LIGHT" The project is basically composed of a large cube is built on top of a podium and flanked by two courtyards. The parking areas, archives and Data Processing Center are accommodated in this podium. Offices are arranged inside the cube on seven floors around the central interior courtyard.
Located on the top of a hill, southwest of Madrid, with splendid views to the mountains in the north, the design of this residence is essentially a derivative of its site and its surroundings. The architect needed a platform as a base to settle his project. A large concrete box was built as a podium on which a transparent glass box was placed, delicately covered with a light and simple structure of white-painted steel.

Beyond Borders
SU students attend the Education Without Borders conference and explore a modern Middle Eastern city-state
Page 3
Petrie enjoyed the utterly foreign feel of the souks, with their tiny aisles and noisy shopkeepers trying to engage customers by calling out guesses as to their nationalities. While they were in the souk, the students also heard the traditional call to prayer from the surrounding mosques and minarets. "We were leaving the market after sunset," Petrie says, "and suddenly we could hear all these calls, all these different tones" from the mosques and minarets in the area.
EACH OF THE STUDENTS had a "We're not in Kansas anymore" moment like this, and those memories still resonate at home in Pennsylvania.
"Sometimes we have these exaggerated stereotypes [about the Middle East] here in the U.S.," says Seth Marshall '09, an accounting major from Barto, Pa. "For instance, I used to think that the very conservative dress in Muslim countries, especially for women, was mandated. I learned that many people dress that way because it's an individual or family choice."
For Marshall, some of the most memorable exchanges took place among the student delegates in between the larger meetings. "The students were all pretty much in the same position," he says. "We went there to meet people and have new experiences. That made it easy to just walk up to someone from another country and strike up a conversation."
Like many of the students, Marshall also brought back some things that will, he believes, have a larger impact on his life. "The former president of India asked a seemingly straightforward question that's actually pretty powerful," Marshall says. "He asked us what we want to be remembered for."
The experience will also have a long-lasting effect on Laura Gausmann '09, of York, Pa. Gausmann was encouraged to see that students all over the world are wrestling with and applying their talents to the same issues—education, sustainability, the environment—that she has studied as a political science major.
"I was encouraged because, after being there, I know that SU students are absolutely capable of presenting and making a difference," Gausmann says. "We just got involved too late this year to submit papers, but it's definitely something the university should pursue in the future."
Gausmann says that the sheer scale of everything at the conference left a big impression. "I expected, I guess, something very conservative," she says of Dubai. "But until you see it you can't imagine how big it is, and how modern. Somebody called it the Las Vegas of the Middle East."
The trip did more than impress Gausmann; it helped her make a decision about the future. "Eventually I want to get an M.B.A.," she says, "and I had been thinking about working in corporate and social responsibility, helping companies fulfill their responsibilities to society. The conference helped me decide that's what I want to do."
Lemons came back from the long trip jet-lagged but excited about the prospects for future students, not just at the next Education Without Borders Conference, but in the university's growing cross-cultural program.
"The travel, the experience of a different culture, the chance to shatter stereotypes and challenge assumptions—these are all pieces of the undergraduate education we want to provide students at Susquehanna."

Customer Service Training
Q. A few weeks ago, I happened to visit another library and was startled by the rude service from the front desk staff. I'd like to be sure that no one would say the same about my library! Where can I get some information on excellent public service in libraries in order to do some in-service training?
A. We've all heard that old saying, "good service will keep one customer, but bad service will lose you ten," and it's true for libraries, as well as for business. In this day and age, a bad experience can be communicated even faster via social media (note item 16 in this video from Socialnomics). With this in mind, many libraries are instituting programs leading to high expectations in providing service to those who use our libraries--whether we call them customers, patrons, readers, visitors, or library users. You probably want to use a multi-pronged approach, combining in-service training with a consultant, external workshops, and readings. For some self paced training, see one of the two eCourses from ALA Editions (one is streaming video, the other on Moodle)
Good customer service has common features across types of organizations, so readings from the standard business literature--works such as Good to Great, by Jim Collins, or even something like Inside the Magic Kingdom: Seven Keys to Disney's Success, by Tom Connellan--are useful along with those targeted specifically for libraries. We've collected some resources of both kinds on our customer service page -- after all as the training module for the Houston Area Library System says, "Great customer service is a significant part of library public relations and contributes to creating and maintaining community awareness of the value of the library."'

text: Beer Pong is a really fun game to play, whether you are drunk or sober. Everyone plays different, but the way I play is as follows. First, you get twelve 16 oz SOLO cups and fill them a quarter of the way with beer(the number of cups vary depending on how many you want to use.) Then you place six on one end of the table and six on the other end, placing them in a triangle formation. All you do from here is begin to play and see which side can sink all their cups before the other. You can either play it 1 vs.1 or 2 vs.2. It is definitely my favorite drunk game to play and if you haven't played it yet you should definitely try it, that is if you are of age!

Giorgio Armani #400 Flash Lip Lacquer Review, Photos, Swatches
Giorgio Armani #400 Flash Lip Lacquer
Giorgio Armani #400 Flash Lip Lacquer ($29.00 for 0.22 fl. oz.) is a is a bold, bright red with subtle, cool undertones and a glossy shine. (I expect this to look cooler-toned on cooler complexions, as it comes off more neutral against my warmer tones.) NARS Norma is slightly cooler-toned. MAC Driven By Love is darker, more shimmery. MAC Send Me Sailing is less pigmented. MAC Russian Red is similar. Dior Ceremony Red is more shimmery, cooler-toned. Chanel Fatale is less pigmented. See comparison swatches.
This shade had mostly opaque color coverage, but there was some translucency that allowed the natural lip color to come through but very subtly. It has a high-shine, glossy finish that wears and lasts well, plus the color wears even beyond that. When I tested it, the glossiness lasted four and a half hours, and then it was a duller shine (but not totally matte) that continued on for another two hours (six hours total of good wear). The consistency is medium-weight, has a gel-like feel so it molds and clings to lips but not in a bad way, and has a light tackiness. It's very comfortable to wear and nicely hydrating. At a very, very close range, there is some minor settling of the color into lip lines, but it isn't noticeable from a normal viewing distance.
The Glossover
What's really nice about #400 is how it wears well without bleeding or feathering, plus it has nice color coverage, long-wear, and is hydrating!

Roland Burris' Monument to Himself
11:29 AM, Dec 31, 2008 • By MICHAEL GOLDFARB
Widget tooltip
Get alerts when there is a new article that might interest you.
This alone ought to disqualify Roland Burris from being appointed as a United States Senator. Its amazing how the left has been able to rally around Burris without knowing anything about him, declaring him qualified to serve if only he hadn't been appointed by a governor on the verge of impeachment and imprisonment. Nevermind that he sought the appointment despite all that, or that he ran for the Democratic nomination for Senate and was soundly rejected by the voters of Illinois once before, as he was rejected for governor by those same voters (in favor of Blago!).
Did anyone ever think that maybe there was a reason Illinois voters refused to send Burris to the Senate when they had the chance? Click through to see the "major accomplishments" Burris has emblazoned on his own monument to his own greatness.

Texas Senate Approves Voter ID
Senate Approves Voter ID
The Texas Senate passed controversial voter ID legislation last night. The Senate speedily passed the bill that Democrats had blocked in previous sessions. As expected, the vote came down along party lines.
Republicans say photo identification is needed at the polls to prevent voter fraud. Democrats say it would disenfranchise some voters, including minorities. The voter ID legislation now goes to the House, and it would ultimately have to be approved by the Justice Department. You can hear more about voter ID on this week's KUT News/Texas Tribune Tribcast.

...we had a 900 foot long flag this year. It just keeps getting bigger and more pieces get attached every year.
so size really does matter?
they tried to organize a gay pride parade in my town, it didn't go over well. Homophobic Hillbillies is the predominate religion here. second only to the church of the cranial anal insertion sect.
MWK's Token Estrogen-American
Are you on Ravelry?
...and if so, have you joined LSG?
Yes, indeedie, a place where you will definitely be welcomed with open arms.
its like a gay version of a chinese dragon dance!
Wow! Thanks for sharing that. I haven't been to the pride parade yet; but, I have been to PrideFest. Hmm...no one can blink and miss that, that's for sure!
"Imagination is more important than knowledge. For knowledge is limited, whereas imagination embraces the entire world, stimulating progress, giving birth to evolution." --Albert Einstein
Wonderful. I like the idea of using the flag as a metaphor for the strength of the community.
Did you happen to see the bit on Ravelry about the first-ever pride parade in Spartanburg, South Carolina?
Yes, indeed.
I thought I posted on it, but, apparently, the post didn't go through. sometimes that happens.
That was so awesome for him, if anything.

John King II hoped to just finish last year's O'Reilly 200 Camping World Truck Series race at Bristol Motor Speedway.
After finishing 15th in the race, the Kingsport driver hopes to do even better Wednesday night in his second race on the high banks.
"Those big trucks with the radial tires, it was all new to me," said King, 23. "To be able to run as good as well as we did, I was ecstatic."
One advantage King enjoyed last year was family friend Bill Elliott serving as his spotter. With Elliott's guidance and some good pit strategy, King ran as high as third place. He stayed among the top six for 60 laps before losing a lap on a pit stop.
"That was our first race ever, so that was an eye-opening experience," he said. "We had a good truck, but it wasn't as good as it could have been. But it was a lot of good seat time running with those better drivers. It was a really good outing for our first time.
"We just made a few rookie errors. We were short-handed in the pits, but it was a little better with Bill in my ear."
Elliott, the 1988 NASCAR champion, was complimentary of King's performance. At one point during the race, King asked if there was anything he needed to do differently, which Elliott responded, "You're doing about anything I would be able to do."
"That was a big deal for my confidence," King said. "It was like someone straight out of high school going to pro football. Those races with all the national exposure and 80,000 people in the stands, it's a lot of pressure for the first time. I felt like we blew it out of the water for what I wanted."
King ran three more races last season, with finishes of 28th and 19th on the flat tracks of Loudon and Martinsville, before ending the year with a 27th-place run at Homestead.
After Homestead, he added another 1.5-mile superspeedway, Kentucky, to his resume this season, where he was sixth-fastest in the final practice. There were problems, however, during the race as he recovered from an early spin only to get collected in a multi-car accident on lap 77.
"When you step up to those mile-and-a-half tracks, it's a whole different ballgame," he said. "You have to stay in the throttle all the way around the race track. That's been the biggest learning curve for me.
"Bristol has been a relatively easy track for me because you drive it in the corner and nine times out of 10, it's going to stick. The only real problem you really have there is the exit (off the corners). But I've gained a lot of experience and that's good for me being a relatively green driver in the trucks."
Even at this stage of his career, King has been forced to make tough decisions. Although the NASCAR Weekly Racing Series returned to his hometown track, Kingsport Speedway, this season, King opted not to run his Late Model Stock car there.
He thinnks it's important to show the No. 07 Toyota Truck Series team he's fully committed to their program. For that reason, he's also been spending as much time in the Charlotte area working at the Truck Series shop as he's been spending at home.
"I would love to race at Kingsport," he said. "There's nothing better than running in front of the hometown crowd, especially when you have that support from them. But this is a good opportunity we have with the Truck Series.
"I'm not one just to show up at the race track with a helmet. I like to be in the middle of everything and do as much work as anyone else on the truck. I guess that's been the way I've always done it."
It was the way King was brought up from day one. Unlike most younger racers, he didn't start out in go-karts. Instead, he started by helping out fellow Kingsport racer Rick Norris in the Crate Late Model division at Volunteer Speedway.
King said that racing with guys like Dale Ball of Johnson City, Bobby Mays of Jonesborough and Norris on the Volunteer dirt track helped him advance quickly in such a short time. Those guys will be cheering for King on Wednesday night, and his goal is crystal clear.
"The world is based off numbers, so people want to be able to look off a sheet and tell how good somebody is," he said. "We've gotten some notoriety because we've gone to some race tracks and been able to be competitive. But you've got to back it up with finishes. I need to finish the race. "

The Jewish community of Norway, which has seen a number of threats in recent years, has long lobbied for the closure, which city officials had resisted and termed excessive. More ▸
A Norway musuem said it would return a Nazi-looted painting by Henri Matisse to the heirs of its former Jewish owner. More ▸
The Oslo Jewish Museum will open an exhibition on the Holocaust in Norway exactly 70 years after hundreds of Norwegian Jews were shipped to Auschwitz. More ▸
Norwegian police have increased security around Oslo's main synagogue after an Islamist extremist threatened to "protect" the Jewish community with an "AK-47 assault rifle and a hunting permit." More ▸
A Jewish group in Norway reportedly has asked Oslo police to begin registering anti-Semitic incidents following an uptick in their occurrence. More ▸
With the Norway attacks fresh in mind and the 10-year anniversary of the Sept. 11 attacks fast approaching, are U.S. authorities paying attention to the right kinds of threats? More ▸
Focus on behaviors common to all extremists: That's the advice security experts are offering in the wake of the recent attacks in Norway by a perpetrator who appeared to be anti-Muslim rather than an Islamist. More ▸
Jews and Israel should be wary of anti-Muslim extremists who claim to embrace Israel and Zionism, Anti-Defamation League national director Abraham Foxman said. More ▸
Even as they mourn along with their fellow countrymen, some Norwegian Jews are quietly expressing concern that the attack by a right-wing xenophobe who apparently sympathized with Israel may further mute pro-Israel voices in Norway, where anti-Zionist sentiment already runs strong.

The Scene: Patrons of the Grove already know Atomic Cowboy, that hard-to-miss, mural-covered neighborhood corner bar. The restaurant and music venue has gone through a lot of changes over the years -- including expanding its epic outdoor patio, now complete with a huge stage -- but still touts its primary specialty: self-proclaimed "Fresh Mex" cuisine. The kitchen serves up its menu seven days a week in its hard-wood-covered dining room, complete with booths for sipping and snacking.

I had visited there in Oct 2009. I had booked the same online. And this was the worst stay. Quality of Rooms were below standard. The location too is far from city. And the food quality was also poor. No value for money. A simple waste.
Had been to viramma few weeks back with my family and friends really had a great time the food was amazing with its ambiance. The room service is good the locations is good.the swimming pool is well maintained.
stayed at this hotel with my family in 2011oct.most of property of the hotel is now under flat construction.no amenities as claimed in website. ride swimming pool a myth.frightful stay at night. genarator not timely started at night.never go with family.but bargain is necessary.dont book online.waste of money.food is good.
The Resort is very good for stay in business trip, after the hectic schedule and target..... you will find peace all around with nature at your doorstep and the weather is totally diffrent from the town. Only the service they need to improve, food quality and the swimming pool i enjoyed a lot.
A property in bad shape..
There is 100% scope of improvement.The resort is totally mis-managed.
the property can be developed to make it the best in town.
The staff co-operative and extends their best but still they too lack the managerial quality.
Pool side not in use and the rooms are of very low standard.

Order Up: The Cafe at Williams Hardware in Travelers Rest
There is something satisfying about working for the things you get in life. When you work hard to buy, say, a used car, you feel better about driving it around than you would if someone just gave you a new car that you didn't earn. It's the same for your house, your business and just about anything in life that is really worth having. If you are just handed something, the thing you get feels somehow hollow.

Heart Disease Health Center
Walking is a form of aerobic exercise and is one of the easiest ways to increase your physical activity and improve your health. Physical activity increases your heart rate, strengthens your heart, and increases blood circulation through your body, bringing more oxygen and nutrients to your organs. Exercise also increases your lungs' ability to take in oxygen, lowers blood pressure, helps to reduce body fat, and improves blood sugar and cholesterol levels.
- Have a checkup before beginning an exercise program. If you have heart problems, your doctor may want to do tests to find out how much activity your heart can safely handle.
- Start out slowly at first, with a warm-up in the beginning, a faster pace in the middle, and a cooldown at the end.
- To stay motivated, walk with friends, coworkers, or pets. Set goals you can reach.
- Use a pedometer to count your steps. Wear it all day and try to take at least 2,000 more steps a day than you normally do, and gradually increase your steps over time.
- Try to do at least 2½ hours of moderate exercise a week.1 One way to do this is to be active 30 minutes a day, at least 5 days a week.

Walk to Beltran key to meltdown
For about four innings on Thursday, it looked like the Astros might get interim manager Tony DeFrancesco his first victory. Dallas Kuechel had retired 12 of the first 13 Cardinals batters, and the Astros offense had done all the little things right for a 4-0 lead. Then came a two-out, four-pitch walk to Carlos Beltran in the bottom of the fourth. [Read More]
