These were really nice when I was younger- I'd use them after PE and going to the gym. The packaging gets all nasty and tattered though- very trashy looking. I use powder to get rid of my grease now, as well as moisturizers so that my skin doesn't feel so dry that it feels the need to produce tons of oil.

I really love this product, the sheets work so so well. Throughout the day my face feels so oily from my makeup to the point where I want to wash my face at school. I found this product and love it. It absorbs all the oil (ew) so easily and doesn't smudge your makeup or take it off. I have repurchased these and will continue to for a long time. The ONLY thing I'm not really a fan of is the size of the sheets, they're just a bit too small and I have to use like 3 or 4. However, the size is good because it's so compact but I wouldn't mind them being a tad bigger. All in all this is an amazing product and I recommend this to anyone!

I absolutely love every aspect of this product. However, one part makes me not want to buy it everytime. The amount of sheets in there for the price is just ridiculous. The quality is different than any other and it's great. For me, it just seems ludicrous to spend this much money on a product like this.

Love these! Cannot leave the house without them. My face is extremely oily and these do a great job of absorbing excess oil off my face. For those saying that they remove the makeup off their face, you gently blot - do not rub/wipe!

I have super oily skin so these are great! I have to use between 2-3 sheets each time I blot which makes me go through them pretty fast but still love it! I have to say though that I think I prefer the NYX green tea blotting paper just because I like the paper sheets rather than the plastic-y sheets like these. But these are second best!

Can't live without these... my face becomes oily within an hour of washing/putting on makeup. Since I can use up to 4 or more a day I started buying these wholesale on eBay to save money. I just bought 10 packets (60 sheets each) for $28 including shipping!

I love these. I use them all the time, and they're amazing at absorbing the oil from my face. My only gripe is that once I've used a sheet I'll have to blot my face again 2-3 hours later as all the oil would've come back by then.

Packers coach sticks with struggling kicker
NOV 19, 2012 10:13a ET
"Mason Crosby is my kicker, so we can just stop it right there," McCarthy said at his Monday afternoon press conference.
In Green Bay's 24-20 win Sunday in Detroit over the Lions, Crosby had arguably his worst performance in his six-year NFL career. In the final play of the first half, Crosby missed twice from 50 yards out. His first attempt — which he sent wide right — didn't count due to Lions head coach Jim Schwartz calling a timeout a split-second before the snap. Following the timeout, Crosby overcompensated and kicked it wide left.
In the fourth quarter, with the Packers looking to tie the game at 17, Crosby missed a 38-yarder. As the ball traveled in the air on that kick, Crosby held his arms up in the air as if to signal it being good, but it again hooked left.
"We have history together and I believe in him," McCarthy said. "I don't think you really need to go past that. He has a job to do. He's not doing it. He recognizes it. I recognize it and he'll work through it. I know he can do it. It's not that. I'm not worried about asking a player to do something he can't do. That's not the case."
A telling moment during the game, however, came midway through the first quarter when it was still 0-0. Green Bay had an opportunity to try a 49-yard field goal to take an early lead, but McCarthy instead opted to try a deep pass down the middle on fourth-and-4, which fell incomplete.
"You want to play a specific game and we were looking for a fourth-down conversion," McCarthy said. "At that point of the game, with the week of preparation, I wanted to be aggressive to start the game."
Crosby did connect on a 39-yard attempt in the final minute of the game to push the Packers' lead up to four points. But even with that, Crosby has only made six of his last 13 field goals.
"I think changing players is the easy thing to do," special teams coordinator Shawn Slocum said. "That's the easiest thing to do, is to go get someone else. But it's not always the best thing to do. We try to weigh every bit of information that we can and try to make the best decision top to bottom on what we do."
There are a few free-agent kickers available, including 30-year-old former San Diego Charger Nate Kaeding, who has made 87 percent of his field goals throughout his nine-year career. Crosby, by comparison, is a 77.6 percent career kicker. Kaeding, a third-round pick in 2004, was released by the Chargers three weeks ago. Also, former Bengals, Cardinals and Texans kicker Neil Rackers — at 36 years old — and former Packers and Vikings kicker Ryan Longwell, 38, are both available.
"You take everything into consideration," Slocum said. "We have the confidence that (Crosby) can make kicks. He hasn't lately as he should, and he needs to for us to move forward and be as good as we can be as a football team.
"Mason's our kicker."

ROTTERDAM -- The driver behind the wheel of a tractor trailer was using his cellphone Thursday when he lost control of the vehicle, resulting in an hours-long closing in a ramp at Interstate 890, according to Rotterdam police.
Police said the driver, Ryan Koehler of Pennsylvania, was treated at the scene and taken to Ellis Hospital.
No other vehicles were involved.
Police said Koehler, 30, lost control of the rig, causing it to flip and slide into a guardrail on the Exit 26 entrance ramp to the Thruway. He was given three tickets for unreasonable speed, failure to keep right and operating a motor vehicle while using a cell phone.
As a result of the crash, traffic had to be detoured for about eight hours.
The ramp was cleared just before 6 p.m.

Another Oscar Wilde play comes to life…this time in one that is funny and charming and lively and sometimes even wicked… Set in late 19th Century London, the story revolves around an up-and-coming young politician who gets blackmailed by a "lady" into changing his opinion on an upcoming parliamentary bill. She has some evidence of how he got his early influence…and is willing and ready to use it if he doesn't meet her demands. OK, so that's the main plot, but as Wilde always does, the plot is only the beginning of the story. The best parts here are the supporting players and the smaller storylines about romances and the search for husbands, etc. Those are the juicy parts that offer the best snippets of Wilde-esque dialogue, innuendo and puns. One of the leaders in this smaller storylines is Rupert Everett, who plays a cad who has made it is goal in life never to marry. His story interweaves perfectly with the main storyline about the blackmail (he is friends with the politician and used to date the lady who is blackmailing him) but on its own, Everett's story is a perfectly solid work. His entire character could be pulled out and turned into a full-length play or film, since there is so much meaty dialogue and so many stories to tell about him. If you have liked Wilde's work in the past (such as A Woman of No Importance, Lady Windemere's Fan's, and most notably The Importance of Being Earnest), An Ideal Husband is guaranteed to please and if you've never seen anything written by Wilde, this is the one to start with. Trust me…you will want to see them all!

Today is a must win to keep any hope of success alive for the phins. But, ya know what, a win today can make next monday's game vs. the Jets a HUGE opportunity for the phins.
Thats right. The phins play 4 of their next 5 games vs. divisional opponents. And lets face it, if the phins are to get into the playoffs again this year, they are now going to have to win at least 5 if not all 6 of their divisional games. A wildcard spot is almost less likely than a division title given our circumstance. We must win these divisional games, beat the Bucs, Panthers, Texans, Jags, and Titans. Thats 5 wins we really need. Throw in those 6 divisional games and that takes us to 11. If we drop a divisional game then we are looking at needing to steal a win vs perhaps the Saints. We also have the Steelers in the final week at home, a winnable game. More or less we are going to win at least 5 within the division and get 6 of those 7 other games. We simply cant afford a loss to the bills.
But, hey...its an opportunity. It isnt over yet. Hell, the Jets and Pats both face very tough opponents today. A win by the phins and we could be the only team in the division to get a win. Then all of the sudden we are looking at a shot to beat the Jets and get to 2-3 and only 1 game out of first place going into the bye. Its do or die time.
I believe.

This application claims foreign priority benefits of Republic of Singapore Application No. 200706008-0 filed Aug. 16, 2007, which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety.
The present disclosure is directed generally to microelectronic die packages with leadframes, and more particularly to leadframes configured for stacked die packages.
Packaged microelectronic assemblies, such as memory chips and microprocessor chips, typically include a microelectronic die mounted to a substrate and encased in a plastic protective covering. The die includes functional features, such as memory cells, processor circuits, and interconnecting circuitry. The die also typically includes bond pads electrically coupled to the functional features. The bond pads are electrically connected to pins or other types of terminals that extend outside the protective covering for connecting the die to busses, circuits, and/or other microelectronic assemblies.
In one conventional arrangement, the die is mounted to a supporting substrate (e.g., a printed circuit board), and the die bond pads are electrically coupled to corresponding bond pads of the substrate with wirebonds. After encapsulation, the substrate can be electrically connected to external devices with solder balls or other suitable connections. Accordingly, the substrate supports the die and provides an electrical link between the die and the external devices.
In other conventional arrangements, the die can be mounted to a leadframe that has conductive lead fingers connected to a removable frame. The frame temporarily supports the lead fingers in position relative to the die during manufacture. Each lead finger is coupled to a corresponding bond pad of a die (e.g., via a wire bond or a metal redistribution layer), and the assembly is encapsulated in such a way that the frame and a portion of each of the lead fingers extend outside the encapsulating material. The frame is then trimmed off, and the exposed portions of each lead finger connect the die to external components. In general, individual lead fingers can be bent and then coupled to a corresponding external bond pad.
Die manufacturers have come under increasing pressure to reduce the size of dies and the volume occupied by the dies, and to increase the capacity of the resulting encapsulated assemblies. To meet these demands, die manufacturers often stack multiple dies on top of each other to increase the capacity or performance of the device within the limited surface area on the circuit board or other element to which the dies are mounted.
Specific details of several embodiments of the disclosure are described below with reference to semiconductor devices and methods for fabricating semiconductor devices. The semiconductor components are manufactured on semiconductor wafers that can include substrates upon which and/or in which microelectronic devices, micromechanical devices, data storage elements, optics, read/write components, and other features are fabricated. For example, SRAM, DRAM (e.g., DDR/SDRAM), flash memory (e.g., NAND flash memory), processors, imagers, and other types of devices can be constructed on semiconductor wafers. Although many of the embodiments are described below with respect to semiconductor devices that have integrated circuits, other types of devices manufactured on other types of substrates may be within the scope of the invention. Moreover, several other embodiments of the invention can have different configurations, components, or procedures than those described in this section. A person of ordinary skill in the art, therefore, will accordingly understand that the invention may have other embodiments with additional elements, or the invention may have other embodiments without several of the features shown and described below with reference to
The stacked system 102 shown in
The stacked system 102 may be formed by a method that includes stacking the die packages 100 a-d, aligning the leads 108 of the die packages 100 a-d, and forming the connectors 120 at individual leads 108 of the die packages 100 a-d. Stacking and aligning the leads 108 may include stacking the die packages 100 a-d in sequence so that the leads 108 are placed above and/or below leads on a corresponding die package. Forming the connectors 120 may be carried out, for example, using wave or reflow soldering processes. Using wave soldering, a pumped wave or cascade of liquid-phase metal solder can be applied across lateral sides of the die packages 100 a-d. Using reflow soldering, solder paste having metal powder particles can be applied across the lateral sides of the die packages 100 a-d and then heated to melt the metal particles. In these, or other soldering processes, the metal solder selectively wets (e.g., when heated) to the higher energy surfaces associated with the leads 108 and not to the lower energy surfaces associated with the casing 106. When the metal solder cools, the connectors 120 are formed across individual leads 108. A die package spacing distance t1 of 60 microns, for example, may ensure that the surface tension associated with the applied solder allows the connectors 120 to bridge between the leads 108.
In general, and in contrast to the stacked system 102, conventional methods of stacking packages or dies have been challenging and expensive, and even then misalignments occur. For example, conventional leads need to be accurately aligned, and thus attaching a conventional lead on one package to a conventional lead on a corresponding package is time-intensive. Also, because individual leads occupy only a small surface area, each conventional lead-to-lead interconnection needs to be carefully inspected. The process of stacking conventional packages is also difficult to standardize because dies are made in a variety of sizes, and packages likewise vary in size. Thus, the process of stacking and interconnecting conventional packages needs to be tailored to an arrangement of a particular package type.
By using the leads 108 as a framework for interconnecting devices, however, several embodiments of microelectronic die packages 100 can overcome these and other issues related to conventional die package stacking. For example, because the leads 108 are exposed at lateral surface portions of the casing 106, each set of leads can be electrically coupled together using a simple soldering process to intercouple the die packages 100 a-d. Also, because the connectors 120 can selectively wet to the conductive leads 108 but not attach to the casing 106 between the leads 108, the lead-to-lead interconnections are reliable and do not require the same alignment tolerances as conventional lead-to-lead inspection. The leads 108 can further establish the exterior package dimensions such that a standardized package size may be used to house a variety of differently sized dies, an example of which is described further with reference to
Many variations may be made to the stacked system 102. For example, in lieu of the bond pad connections 116 shown in
In another embodiment, the stacked system 102 includes packages that house the same type of die. For example, the stacked system 102 could be a memory, such as a static dynamic access memory (SRAM). In this embodiment, the leads 108 would provide word and bit line access to individual SRAM dies housed in the die packages 100 a-d. Accordingly, the aggregated individual SRAM dies form a large SRAM, which has a reduced footprint relative to a conventional SRAM of the same size.
Any one of the microelectronic devices described above with reference to
From the foregoing, it will be appreciated that specific embodiments of the invention have been described herein for purposes of illustration, but well-known structures and functions have not been shown or described in detail to avoid unnecessarily obscuring the description of the embodiments of the invention. Where the context permits, singular or plural terms may also include the plural or singular term, respectively. Moreover, unless the word "or" is expressly limited to mean only a single item exclusive from the other items in reference to a list of two or more items, then the use of "or" in such a list is to be interpreted as including (a) any single item in the list, (b) all of the items in the list, or (c) any combination of the items in the list. Additionally, the term "comprising" is inclusive and is used throughout to mean including at least the recited feature(s) such that any greater number of the same feature and/or additional types of other features are not precluded. It will also be appreciated that specific embodiments of the invention have been described herein for purposes of illustration, but that various modifications may be made without deviating from the inventions. For example, many of the elements of one of embodiment can be combined with other embodiments in addition to, or in lieu of, the elements of the other embodiments. Accordingly, the invention is not limited except as by the appended claims.

a great expeirience and pleasure to find a restaurant on this level in any big city.As soon as you enter the place you are made to feel important , not just another customer. The food,very friendly service which stays the whole time you are there is excellant. I only wish i could have had more time to visit again and again.On my next visit to New York this a must eat place. If you have never seen the film after a visit to this restaurant you will make sure that you watch it. Thanks for the experience.

This was our first time to a Bubba Gump restaurant and would recommend it and would go back. Wait was long (although pretty close to what they said it would be), but it was worth it. When putting in our name, I forgot to mention we needed a high chair, but told the host when he was taking us to our table. He imediately radioed he needed one at our table, and it was there before we got to the table. That was a sign of how the rest of the evening would go. The food was very good and served without much wait, our service was excellent (very attentive), and the atmosphere was fun. Servers did stop by when sign said stop. Our kids enjoyed it as well and loved looking out the window at Times Square with all the lights and glitter............

Have eaten here a few times, I like to bring in poeople when the come to visit me in NYC. Good location, nice set-up. Food is average, not but but not great. Service was poor in my opinion. They say you flip the "Stop Forrest" sign and anyone will serve you. I flipped it over and the 6 wait staff all talking ignored my table as did the 3 people who walked by. I had to continually ask for a drink refill. In a good restaraunt the server should see you glass is getting low and just bring you one or at least ask if you would like another. I think if they got some better management in there to train and watch over the staff it would be a much better experience.

Iwas in NYC the weekend of 8/24/07 thru 8/26/07. A friend told me to try Bubba Gumps and I did. I loved it in fact I went Friday night and then again Saturday night. Now that is saying a lot since there are what hundreds of places to eat in NYC. The staff was very friendly, sevice was great for New York. I will make this part of my NYC experence from now on. Anyone reading this should stop by at least once!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Posted by upstate ny on 08/21/2007
If you like chain restuarants it's okay but there are such great places to eat in NYC you shouldn't waste your time going here. It was clean and the view was nice but the food was nothing special. Alot like an Applebees or Fridays.

Stick a fork in the creativity
If you want to hang a shingle — or stick a fork — in a particular neighborhood, you generally have to follow certain rules. Sometimes the enforcers are the property owners' associations. In some cases, it's the folks from zoning. In less regulated situations, the enforcers are neighbors who sneer at sunbleached lawn art […] [Read More]
I feel the need…the need…for job security
Yeah, Uncle Sam wants you. But sometimes not enough of us want him, and that's why the armed forces have to pop in on us during "American Idol" or "CSI" to remind Americans of what it takes to stay strong. One thing Uncle Sugar has got going for him is that he's a long way […] [Read More]

Best Arts Organization St. Louis 2005 - Opera Theatre of St. Louis
OK, so Opera Theatre of Saint Louis isn't a scrappy, underfunded arts organization in need of publicity -- any more. Since its humble beginnings in 1976, Opera Theatre has become one of the most celebrated arts groups in the United States, with its performances routinely reviewed by the New York Times, the Wall Street Journal and the Times of London. In a very American twist on conventional opera, the theater performs all its works in English, accompanied by music from members of the Saint Louis Symphony Orchestra. Highlights from this past season included a stripped-down-perfect production of Charles Gounod's Romeo and Juliet and Benjamin Britten's 1953 gem Gloriana, which RFT opera writer Lew Prince lauded as the embodiment of "technical, spiritual and artistic unity." Adding to the charm is OSTL's location in the intimate 987-seat Loretto-Hilton Center at Webster University, where many operagoers meet prior to performances for picnics on the campus lawn.

Xtina Is Selling "The Osbournes" Crib
Does anyone remember the MTV television show called The Osbournes? I am sure all these young teeny boppers who love Justin Bieber don't remember the show because they were toddlers. That and Ozzy Osbourne has scary tattoos and that makes them pee in their pants a little. I remember the show and saw all of their seasons (4 I think?) Anywa, great show and the show was shot in the Osbournes home in California and then when Ozzy, Sharon and the bunch moved on, they sold the house to Christina Aguilera. I love that house. I think it is a staple in American history not only was it the set of one of the best tv shows of all time but it housed not one, but two famous families. How much to get your hands on it? $13.5 A little steep but that is California real estate for you.

WILMINGTON, NC (RELEASE FROM NH COUNTY SCHOOLS) — The New Hanover County Schools (NHCS) Athletics Department announces guidelines regarding summer athletics safety. These guidelines are effective beginning July 1, 2014 and run through the fourteen scheduled practice days AFTER the first official day of Fall sports; or when school practice hours begin –whichever occurs first.
Safe practice times can vary slightly when SIGNIFICANT climate changes are noted (rain, major cloud coverage, relative humidity at least 10% lower than average at start time, temperature at least 10 degrees cooler than average at start time). The heat index spikes drastically around 9:30 a.m. and drops around 6:00 p.m. during the summer. Temperatures have exceeded full equipment safe zones by 7:30 a.m. on some days so coaches are advised to be aware.
The safety guidelines are as follows:
Pads, helmets and all other protective equipment must be removed any time the heat index reaches 96º.
All practices must be moved indoors anytime the heat index reaches 105 º.
ALL forms of outdoor practice should be finished by 10:30 a.m. and not resume until 6:00 p.m.
ALL equipment/padding/coverings including: helmets, shoulder pads, lower extremity pads, upper extremity pads, face coverings are to be removed by 10:00 a.m. and not allowed back on until 6:30 p.m.
Any outdoor games that are being held during this period in New Hanover County should end by 11:00 a.m. and not begin until 6:00 p.m. This includes all pre-game warm-ups.
Water breaks should be provided every 15 to 30 minutes, long enough for each athlete to drink 8-10 oz. and cool down (longer intervals between breaks = longer break time)
When a player looks/is dehydrated, sick, tired, overheated, nauseous/vomiting etc., REMOVE player from field IMMEDIATELY and notify proper medical staff. NO EXCEPTIONS.

Project Description
Linde LLC (Linde) and partners will design, build, and operate a 1 megawatt electric (MWe) equivalent pilot plant at a PC plant host site to further refine a post-combustion capture solvent technology developed by Linde and BASF incorporating BASF's novel amine-based process along with Linde's process and engineering innovations. This technology offers significant benefits compared to other solvent-based processes as it aims to reduce the regeneration energy requirements using novel solvents that are stable under coal-fired power plant feed gas conditions. BASF has developed the desired solvent based on the evaluation of a large number of candidates. Linde has evaluated a number of options for capital cost reduction in large engineered systems for solvent-based post-combustion capture technology. A techno-economic assessment will be performed for a conceptual 550 MWe coal-fired power plant incorporating the amine-based post-combustion CO2 capture technology in development. Results from previous bench-scale and small pilot testing will be analyzed and design optimization studies will be performed to select the slipstream pilot plant design basis. The basic design will be completed with sufficiently detailed engineering to accurately estimate the cost of the slipstream pilot implementation. The techno-economic analysis and the slipstream pilot plant cost estimates will be used to confirm project feasibility and progression to the next stage. Based on completed detailed engineering studies and design development for the system, the pilot plant will be constructed, installed, and commissioned to operate on a slipstream of coalfired flue gas. The National Carbon Capture Center (NCCC) in Wilsonville, Alabama, will be the host site for the slipstream pilot plant. Parametric testing will be conducted to confirm that the pilot plant meets the performance targets and to obtain appropriate design information. A detailed data analysis will be performed to assess and develop the design basis for scale-up. The pilot plant will be operated continuously under stable conditions to confirm the solvent stability and key material compatibility. The long-term test results will be used to update the techno-economic study and develop a commercialization plan for this technology.
Project Benefits
The mission of the U.S. Department of Energy/National Energy Technology Laboratory (DOE/NETL) Existing Plants, Emissions, & Capture (EPEC) Research & Development (R&D) Program is to develop innovative environmental control technologies to enable full use of the nation's vast coal reserves, while at the same time allowing the current fleet of coal-fired power plants to comply with existing and emerging environmental regulations. The EPEC R&D Program portfolio of post- and oxy-combustion carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions control technologies and CO2 compression is focused on advancing technological options for the existing fleet of coal-fired power plants in the event of carbon constraints. Pulverized coal (PC) plants burn coal in air to produce steam and comprise 99 percent of all coal-fired power plants in the United States. CO2 is exhausted in the flue gas at atmospheric pressure and a concentration of 10 to 15 percent by volume. Post-combustion separation and capture of CO2 is a challenging application due to the low pressure and dilute concentration of CO2 in the waste stream, trace impurities in the flue gas that affect removal processes, and the parasitic energy cost associated with the capture and compression of CO2. Chemical solvents can be used to capture CO2 from flue gas by absorbing it into a liquid carrier. Research has been ongoing to identify new, next generation solvents. Slipstream testing and validation of promising solvents along with innovative post-combustion capture processes can make significant progress toward increasing the energy efficiency and consequently reducing the cost of CO2 recovery from coal-fired power plants. Establishing the capability of this novel, post-combustion CO2 capture technology at the pilot plant scale can provide the first steps toward commercialization and achieve significant reductions in the cost of electricity (COE) of large-scale power plants, thereby working toward the achievement of the DOE goal of 90 percent CO2 capture with less than 35 percent increase in COE. Project Goal
The overall goal of the project is to conduct a pilot plant test of the Linde-BASF post-combustion capture technology— incorporating BASF's novel amine-based process —on a slipstream of flue gas at a coal-fired power plant host site to confirm that it can meet DOE performance targets. Objectives
The project objectives are to (1) demonstrate the benefits of the novel, amine-based, post-combustion CO2 capture process technology by performing a techno-economic analysis on a 550 MWe coal-fired power plant incorporating CO2 capture; (2) design, build, and operate a 1 MWe equivalent slipstream pilot plant to treat flue gas from a coal-fired power plant; and (3) perform parametric and long-duration tests and complete data analysis and an updated techno-economic analysis to demonstrate that the technology meets performance and cost targets. Planned Activities
Develop an overall model using a flowsheet simulator for a conceptual PC power plant incorporating post-combustion based CO2 capture and compression.
Select the solvent that achieves the best combination of performance targets for post-combustion CO2 capture.
Develop and optimize a basic design package for the 1 MWe-equivalent pilot plant.
Utilize the basic design to complete a preliminary engineering evaluation of the pilot plant to enable specification of the equipment and modules and their pricing.
Update detailed engineering design and complete the process safety review.
Complete fabrication of the final equipment and module packages needed for the system.
Complete pilot plant construction and commissioning.
Perform pilot plant start-up and testing, including parametric testing and long-duration continuous operation.
Generate final economic analysis and commercialization plan.

Rand Paul OK with 'neutral' marriage tax laws
Sen. Rand Paul said Sunday that he doesn't mind if the government "tries to be neutral" on the issue of marriage tax laws, but also made clear he supports traditional marriage.
"I don't want the government promoting something I don't believe in. But I also don't mind if the government tries to be neutral on the issue," Paul said on "Fox News Sunday."
"You know, the tax code -- I'm for a flat income tax and we wouldn't have marriage as part of the tax code," the Republican from Kentucky said. " Health insurance -- I think there is a way to write it where it would be neutral and you wouldn't bring marriage into the whole idea of health insurance."
Paul has said that he personally does not support same-sex marriage, but advocated it be decided by the states.
"Marriage has been a state issue for hundreds and hundreds of years," he said.

About the Film
'Hip Hop Rev', a special one hour documentary for Discovery Network's Planet Green channel, follows a year in the life of Rev. Lennox Yearwood Jr., a civil rights and environmental activist, and a man of the people.
Over the course of the year we learn about the background to this devoted people's preacher, and understand his motivations and reasons for choosing to work in the streets rather than the steeple. The 'Hip Hop Rev' is the Founder and CEO of the young and growing Hip Hop Caucus, a 21st century civil and human rights organization with nearly 700,000 supporters across the United States.
During the course of filming, cameras followed Rev Yearwood from his roots in Louisiana, to the birthplace of the Hip Hop Caucus in hurricane hit New Orleans, to community organizing in South East Washington, DC, to a national Clean Energy Bus Tour with former Vice President Al Gore's Alliance for Climate Protection, which visited nine cities across America in seven days.
With Rev Yearwood's 'Can't Stop Won't Stop' mentality viewers see the high regard in which Rev Yearwood is held by movement leaders and politicians alike. He succeeds in bringing twenty five African American mayors to Capitol Hill for a Green the City summit, as well as enlists the help of various celebrities to highlight the environmental and social injustices that pervade America's poorest urban communities.

Armed robbery leads to chase
HUNTINGTON -- Several local law enforcement agencies spent several hours searching for man accused of robbing the Marathon station at 8th Street and 5th Avenue just after 10 a.m. Monday.
Cabell County 911 dispatchers reported the man was armed with a handgun. No one at the service station was hurt, and it's unknown if the suspect got away with any money.
A chase ensued through Huntington, leading Huntington Police officers to various parts of town, including 8th Street near Ritter Park and 5th Street Road at reported speeds of 40 to 60 miles per hour.
Additional law enforcement agencies were called in as the suspect traveled in a white Toyota Corolla into Wayne County toward Lavalette, according to dispatch. That included Cabell County Sheriff's Department, Wayne County Sheriff's Department and West Virginia State Police.
Within an hour, officials were on foot searching an area of Camp Creek Road near the Cabell/Wayne line.
Calls to the West Virginia State Police and Wayne County Sheriff's Office were referred to the Huntington Police Department.
Additional information was not immediately available late Monday afternoon.

Sounds like the Democrats crying about an issue that has already been settled by the voters of Louisiana,re-elected with a large majority of the vote. Get over it David is there to stay till we the voters remove him. Which probably won't be for a long time. Keep religion out of Politics.
The problem with Democrats is they are followers not leaders. They rubber stamp anything the president wants without question.
If that is the case as you seem to think, Why didn't the Democrats shore up Social Security and Medicare when they had control of the House and Senate?
The players decided 2 years ago,to take the action they took. Which tells me they never mean't to bargain in good faith with the NFL.
Somebody needs to put this religious nut in the mental ward before he cost more people to lose money and property. If not a mental ward,then jail,for perpetrating a fraud.
Cut him,now. With the emergence of Chris Ivory, Thomas is expendable. He's still miffed that he didn't get the big contract.
Louisiana doesn't vote Liberal,so Melancon is no problem,nor any Democrat they have. We will re-elect him.
Try to remember which crooks are in jail or have gone to jail before u make such a comment. They are all Democrats.
Remember that Jimmy Carter was a Liberal Democrat and he only was able to serve one term,too many freebie programs cost the Dems the presidency and congressional seats,as will this president and Congress.
Come mid-term elections,the Republicans will regain control of the House and Senate,when we vote out the people who voted for this Costly bill.
Increased insurance premiums will anger Americans.
If Mary and the Dem's pass the healthcare package,at the expense of taxpayers,they face sure defeat at the polls when they seek re-election.
Melancon,doesn't have the guts to hold town halls on the healthcare issues,because he knows his constituents are against it,and he doesn't want to oppose Obama. It would be a big mistake to elect Charlie Melancon,he doesn't vote the way his constituents want him to. Much to Liberal for Louisina.
Just renovate Charity Hospital,it's much cheaper and can be done and opened within two years.
They want to spend too much money building a new hospital,which,eventually,we will pay for with higher taxes.
Like,I"m supposed to feel sorry for these people,I don't think so!
It means less travel for us,going out only when we have to.
That's ok,the Rams haven't produced any great players of late.
Obviously they are falsifying the statistics again,to try and make the city appear safe to the media. I don't feel any safer,just look,we started the New Year off with 3 Homicides.
No,his sentence should not be commuted. Edwin Edwards stole millions and should serve his whole time in prison.
Well,had you read the whole article,you would have seen that two different officers were arrested in a 2yr span. This deputy wasn't arrested twice.
It will take the election of a white mayor,who in turn should appoint a white police chief. Who in turn should let the police do what they are supposed to do,stop and frisk. By stopping and frisking people hanging on street corners,and taking the illegal weapons they are carrying and arresting them. Don't worry about parents protesting these tactics,they have been upheld by the U.S. Supreme Court,numerous times.
Well,for starters,the NOPD needs to get back to basic police work,and start using "Stop and Frisk Method",if you are wanted you will be arrested,if you have dope or a gun,you will be arrested. No ands,ifs or buts,just do basic police work,don't worry about mothers complaining the police are harrassing their sons or daughters,who are carrying drugs and guns.

- Bim and Bmf synergize to induce apoptosis in Neisseria gonorrhoeae infection (2009)
- Abstract: Bcl-2 family proteins including the pro-apoptotic BH3-only proteins are central regulators of apoptotic cell death. Here we show by a focused siRNA miniscreen that the synergistic action of the BH3-only proteins Bim and Bmf is required for apoptosis induced by infection with Neisseria gonorrhoeae (Ngo). While Bim and Bmf were associated with the cytoskeleton of healthy cells, they both were released upon Ngo infection. Loss of Bim and Bmf from the cytoskeleton fraction required the activation of Jun-N-terminal kinase-1 (JNK-1), which in turn depended on Rac-1. Depletion and inhibition of Rac-1, JNK-1, Bim, or Bmf prevented the activation of Bak and Bax and the subsequent activation of caspases. Apoptosis could be reconstituted in Bim-depleted and Bmf-depleted cells by additional silencing of antiapoptotic Mcl-1 and Bcl-XL, respectively. Our data indicate a synergistic role for both cytoskeletal-associated BH3-only proteins, Bim, and Bmf, in an apoptotic pathway leading to the clearance of Ngo-infected cells. Author Summary: A variety of physiological death signals, as well as pathological insults, trigger apoptosis, a genetically programmed form of cell death. Pathogens often induce host cell apoptosis to establish a successful infection. Neisseria gonorrhoeae (Ngo), the etiological agent of the sexually transmitted disease gonorrhoea, is a highly adapted obligate human-specific pathogen and has been shown to induce apoptosis in infected cells. Here we unveil the molecular mechanisms leading to apoptosis of infected cells. We show that Ngo-mediated apoptosis requires a special subset of proapoptotic proteins from the group of BH3-only proteins. BH3-only proteins act as stress sensors to translate toxic environmental signals to the initiation of apoptosis. In a siRNA-based miniscreen, we found Bim and Bmf, BH3-only proteins associated with the cytoskeleton, necessary to induce host cell apoptosis upon infection. Bim and Bmf inactivated different inhibitors of apoptosis and thereby induced cell death in response to infection. Our data unveil a novel pathway of infection-induced apoptosis that enhances our understanding of the mechanism by which BH3-only proteins control apoptotic cell death.
- Neisseria meningitidis differentially controls host cell motility through PilC1 and PilC2 components of type IV pili (2009)
- Neisseria meningitidis is a strictly human pathogen that has two facets since asymptomatic carriage can unpredictably turn into fulminant forms of infection. Meningococcal pathogenesis relies on the ability of the bacteria to break host epithelial or endothelial cellular barriers. Highly restrictive, yet poorly understood, mechanisms allow meningococcal adhesion to cells of only human origin. Adhesion of encapsulated and virulent meningococci to human cells relies on the expression of bacterial type four pili (T4P) that trigger intense host cell signalling. Among the components of the meningococcal T4P, the concomitantly expressed PilC1 and PilC2 proteins regulate pili exposure at the bacterial surface, and until now, PilC1 was believed to be specifically responsible for T4P-mediated meningococcal adhesion to human cells. Contrary to previous reports, we show that, like PilC1, the meningococcal PilC2 component is capable of mediating adhesion to human ME180 epithelial cells, with cortical plaque formation and F-actin condensation. However, PilC1 and PilC2 promote different effects on infected cells. Cellular tracking analysis revealed that PilC1-expressing meningococci caused a severe reduction in the motility of infected cells, which was not the case when cells were infected with PilC2-expressing strains. The amount of both total and phosphorylated forms of EGFR was dramatically reduced in cells upon PilC1-mediated infection. In contrast, PilC2-mediated infection did not notably affect the EGFR pathway, and these specificities were shared among unrelated meningococcal strains. These results suggest that meningococci have evolved a highly discriminative tool for differential adhesion in specific microenvironments where different cell types are present. Moreover, the fine-tuning of cellular control through the combined action of two concomitantly expressed, but distinctly regulated, T4P-associated variants of the same molecule (i.e. PilC1 and PilC2) brings a new model to light for the analysis of the interplay between pathogenic bacteria and human host cells.
- Ubiquitylation in immune disorders and cancer: from molecular mechanisms to therapeutic implications (2012)
- Conjugation of ubiquitin to proteins (ubiquitylation) has emerged to be one of the most crucial post-translational modifications controlling virtually all cellular processes. What was once regarded as a mere signal for protein degradation has turned out to be a major regulator of molecular signalling networks. Deregulation of ubiquitin signalling is closely associated with various human pathologies. Here, we summarize the current knowledge of ubiquitin signalling in immune deficiencies and cancer as well as the available therapeutic strategies targeting the ubiquitin system in combating these pathogenic conditions.
- IAPs as E3 ligases of Rac1 : shaping the move (2012)
- Inhibitors of Apoptosis Proteins (IAPs) are well-studied E3 ubiquitin ligases predominantly known for regulation of apoptosis. We uncovered that IAPs can function as a direct E3 ubiquitin ligase of RhoGTPase Rac1. cIAP1 and XIAP directly conjugate polyubiquitin chains to Lysine 147 of activated Rac1 and target it for proteasomal degradation. Consistently, loss of these IAPs by various strategies led to stabilization of Rac1 and mesenchymal mode of migration in tumor cells. IAPs also regulate Rac1 degradation upon RhoGDI1 depletion and CNF1 toxin treatment. Our observations revealed an evolutionarily conserved role of IAPs in regulating Rac1 stability shedding light on to the mechanisms behind ubiquitination–dependent inactivation of Rac1 signaling.
- Identification of non-canonical NF-κB signaling as a critical mediator of Smac mimetic-stimulated migration and invasion of glioblastoma cells (2013)
- As inhibitor of apoptosis (IAP) proteins can regulate additional signaling pathways beyond apoptosis, we investigated the effect of the second mitochondrial activator of caspases (Smac) mimetic BV6, which antagonizes IAP proteins, on non-apoptotic functions in glioblastoma (GBM). Here, we identify non-canonical nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB) signaling and a tumor necrosis factor-α (TNFα)/TNF receptor 1 (TNFR1) autocrine/paracrine loop as critical mediators of BV6-stimulated migration and invasion of GBM cells. In addition to GBM cell lines, BV6 triggers cell elongation, migration and invasion in primary, patient-derived GBM cells at non-toxic concentrations, which do not affect cell viability or proliferation, and also increases infiltrative tumor growth in vivo underscoring the relevance of these findings. Molecular studies reveal that BV6 causes rapid degradation of cellular IAP proteins, accumulation of NIK, processing of p100 to p52, translocation of p52 into the nucleus, increased NF-κB DNA binding and enhanced NF-κB transcriptional activity. Electrophoretic mobility shift assay supershift shows that the NF-κB DNA-binding subunits consist of p50, p52 and RelB further confirming the activation of the non-canonical NF-κB pathway. BV6-stimulated NF-κB activation leads to elevated mRNA levels of TNFα and additional NF-κB target genes involved in migration (i.e., interleukin 8, monocyte chemoattractant protein 1, CXC chemokine receptor 4) and invasion (i.e., matrix metalloproteinase-9). Importantly, inhibition of NF-κB by overexpression of dominant-negative IκBα superrepressor prevents the BV6-stimulated cell elongation, migration and invasion. Similarly, specific inhibition of non-canonical NF-κB signaling by RNA interference-mediated silencing of NIK suppresses the BV6-induced cell elongation, migration and invasion as well as upregulation of NF-κB target genes. Intriguingly, pharmacological or genetic inhibition of the BV6-stimulated TNFα autocrine/paracrine loop by the TNFα-blocking antibody Enbrel or by knockdown of TNFR1 abrogates BV6-induced cell elongation, migration and invasion. By demonstrating that the Smac mimetic BV6 at non-toxic concentrations promotes migration and invasion of GBM cells via non-canonical NF-κB signaling, our findings have important implications for the use of Smac mimetics as cancer therapeutics.
- IAPs on the move : role of inhibitors of apoptosis proteins in cell migration (2013)
- Inhibitors of Apoptosis Proteins (IAPs) are a class of highly conserved proteins predominantly known for the regulation of caspases and immune signaling. However, recent evidence suggests a crucial role for these molecules in the regulation of tumor cell shape and migration by controlling MAPK, NF-κB and Rho GTPases. IAPs directly control Rho GTPases, thus regulating cell shape and migration. For instance, XIAP and cIAP1 function as the direct E3 ubiquitin ligases of Rac1 and target it for proteasomal degradation. IAPs are differentially expressed in tumor cells and have been targeted by several cancer therapeutic drugs that are currently in clinical trials. Here, we summarize the current knowledge on the role of IAPs in the regulation of cell migration and discuss the possible implications of these observations in regulating tumor cell metastases.

Tamera Mowry-Housley Cuts Her Hair And Embraces Her Curls
Actress Tamera Mowry-Housley has decided to bring in the new year with a new look while embracing her natural curly locks!
Recently, the actress-turned-talk show host has been encouraging her fans to embrace their natural curls after a stylist ruined her own hair. Last night, she shared photos of her curly hair on the floor with the Instagram message:
"This is happening right now. Thanks @ShaiAmiel for my beautiful cut. Can't wait to show y'all.
She also shared three weeks ago:
It all began when a hair stylist used a marcel HOT IRON on my hair and ruined it. I cried, but it's only made me appreciate the hair I was born with. Ladies embrace your curls…Beginnings of my curly hair journey. It starts with a cut! You don't always have to do a big chop! Like me, I'm doing it gradually. Learn to love your natural hair. Thanks @shaiamiel for mine:) I'll post transition hair styles soon:)
Back in a 2011, interview with Essence , Tamera revealed that she fell in love with her husband because he loved her just how she was, versus her past boyfriends who wanted her to wear her hair straight.
I can be completely myself. I have naturally curly hair, but a lot of my ex boyfriends always liked it straight. It's a lot of work keeping it straight all the time, whereas Adam liked me as me. I didn't feel like I had to watch what I say or watch what I do. I always wanted to be with him. I never got tired of him. He made me feel very comfortable.
If men only knew the half of what we went through to get the hair they love. *Sigh*

Backpacker killed in motorbike accident while in Laos
Posted: January 15, 2013|
A YOUNG man was killed whilst backpacking in Laos when his motorbike crashed into a lorry.
Sam Fournaise, 22, who lived with his parents in The Copse, Billericay was travelling on his gap year with his girlfriend. They left on February 13 last year and planned to visit Thailand, Laos and Australia.
Mr Fournaise's motorbike collided with a lorry delivering stones and he died from multiple injuries on May 3. He had fractured his neck and chest and suffered internal injuries.
His girlfriend received minor injuries but survived the crash. An inquest into his death held on January 10 confirmed that he died as a result of accident.
Following Sam's death his parents, Jill and Paul Fournaise travelled to Laos to take his body home.
Sam had graduated from university and had finished work in Chelmsford to go travelling. Coroner Mrs Caroline Beasley-Murray said: "He was clearly a young man with a very bright future. I hope you can treasure the happy positive memories you have."
Sam's brother Eric Fournaise, 26, said: "We were in close contact with Sam whilst he was backpacking and he was living the dream.
"We wanted to give an incite into how we have been affected and make families aware of what it's like out there. The level of care here is miles different to Laos and Asian countries-it's almost non-existent and the conditions in hospitals aren't the same.
"The kind of care and attention that's given to incidents in Laos is not what we expected. We wanted a full investigation into Sam's death and that's not what we've received.
"It's very difficult to put into words how we feel. Sam will be sorely missed."

If you are ailing or aging, ONDAMED® Therapy can help you rebuild your health!
Research shows that low frequency, pulsed electromagnetic fields (PEMF) can stimulate healing processes in your body. Through biofeedback scanning, the peerless ONDAMED® system enables us to select frequencies to apply as "energy therapy." And then ONDAMED® delivers these tissue-specific frequencies therapeutically, precisely targeting your issues.
We apply these specifically tuned frequencies as magnetic pulses that induce enhanced production of micro-currents associated with regeneration, activating healing responses in the targeted tissues. According to Dr Kessler, these micro-currents have electrical balancing effects that make them powerful antioxidants as well. Oxidation of tissue is widely regarded as a primary factor in accelerated aging, so ONDAMED®'s safe, gentle electromagnetic energy waves could help you postpone the pathology of aging as well.
Specific frequencies address common conditions such as arthritis, osteoporosis, pain relief, stress, sleep disturbance, addictions and candida infections, among many others.
Can you benefit from ONDAMED®?
Almost everyone can benefit from ONDAMED® Therapy. ONDAMED® can be beneficial alone or it can complement other therapy. If you are recovering from trauma or disease, dealing with chronic pain, fatigue, or bone loss, or if you are generally healthy and want to increase vitality, ONDAMED® can help you build up your resistance and stamina and feel better. Clinical studies, as well as our experience at Healing Ways, show that pulsed electromagnetic therapy can help to
- Reduce pain, inflammation and edema
- Facilitate cellular repair and regeneration
- Slow or reverse bone loss and support skeletal health
- Improve blood circulation and activate lymphatic drainage
- Support elimination of toxins
- Promote absorption of nutrients and minerals
- Improve sleep patterns and mood, and increase vitality
- Reduce the harmful effects of geopathic and environmental stress
During an ONDAMED® session at Healing Ways, the client sits or reclines comfortably in a chair, fully clothed, and the session typically takes up to an hour. The practitioner places applicators appropriately and scans the body with a range of supportive frequencies to determine which ones are best as therapy. Individual results vary. Programs addressing chronic conditions usually work best with repeated applications over weeks or months. Other therapies may give lasting benefit with just one application.
Learn more at Ondamed's webpage click here
ONDAMED® is registered with the FDA and is classified as a biofeedback Class II medical device. In addition, ONDAMED® has been approved for use under the supervision of AAABEM, an Institutional Review Board, as safe for research or clinical testing as a non-invasive secondary therapeutic device in the treatment of pain, discomfort, or general malaise.
