First lady stresses freedom of speech in ChinaBy DIDI TANG
The Associated Press | March 23,2014AP Photo
First lady Michelle Obama and her daughters Malia, center, and Sasha watch a Peking opera performance along with a group of American schoolchildren who are visiting China.BEIJING U.S. first lady Michelle Obama told students in China, which has some of the worlds tightest restrictions on the Internet, that freedom of speech and unfettered access to information make countries stronger and should be universal rights.
Mrs. Obama was speaking Saturday at Peking University in Beijing during a weeklong trip aimed at promoting educational exchanges between the U.S. and China. The trip also took on political overtones when she was granted a previously unscheduled meeting with Chinese President Xi Jinping on Friday.
Mrs. Obama said the free flow of information is crucial because thats how we discover truth, thats how we learn whats really happening in our communities and our country and our world.
And thats how we decide which values and ideas we think are best by questioning and debating them vigorously, by listening to all sides of every argument and by judging for ourselves, she said.
China blocks many foreign news sites and social media services such as Facebook, Twitter and YouTube. Its army of censors routinely filters out information deemed offensive by the government and silences dissenting voices.
Though not likely to be well-received by the government, Mrs. Obamas remarks may not draw any strong protest because her speech and a subsequent moderated discussion among 50 students sitting in two identical conference rooms in Beijing and Palo Alto, Calif., but connected via modern technology focused mainly on the value of educational exchanges.
Fulbright scholar Eleanor Goodman from Harvard Universitys Fairbanks Center for East Asian Research said the first lady probably felt a need to make that statement.
It was firm but not overbearing, Goodman said.
Sunny Ni, a Chinese student studying environmentalism at the State University of New York College of Environmental Science and Forestry, said that she has no problem accessing information for her studies, and that China is improving with free flow of information.
Its a step-by-step process, Ni said.
Ni said Mrs. Obama impressed her by saying studying abroad should not be the privilege of the wealthy.
In her speech, the first lady said that the U.S. government is supporting more American students in China than in any other country, and that her husband has launched an initiative to send more American students with diverse backgrounds to China.
Our hope is to build connections between people of all races and socio-economic backgrounds, because it is that diversity that truly will change the face of our relationships, Mrs. Obama said.
Ni said Mrs. Obama also appealed to her by saying people need to connect with each other to take on global challenges.
Mrs. Obamas meeting Friday with Xi, though not unexpected, was not originally part of the itinerary for her seven-day, three-city trip to China, and was a sign that the leaders of the worlds two largest economies are seeking to build stronger personal bonds.
Xi said he cherished the personal friendship he has established with President Barack Obama, and Mrs. Obama thanked him for his hospitality.
Teng Jianqun, director of the American studies department at government-administered think tank China Institute of International Studies, said that Mrs. Obama also likely served as a messenger on behalf of the U.S. president.
The trip, the first time a U.S. presidents wife has independently visited China, also has given her an opportunity to engage with Xis wife, Peng Liyuan, who watched Mrs. Obama attempt some Chinese calligraphy Friday while offering words of encouragement. Peng wrote in calligraphy a Chinese aphorism on virtues and presented it as a personal gift to Mrs. Obama.
Peng, a popular singer, has broken the mold of reticent Chinese first ladies. She was better known than her husband before Xi was named Communist Party leader and president, and has used her celebrity to promote AIDS awareness and other causes as China seeks to soften its international image.
Peng is widely admired at home, and some Chinese grumbled when Mrs. Obama stayed in Washington last June while Peng accompanied her husband on a visit to California for a no-tie session with President Obama.
Mrs. Obamas good-will trip to China has allowed her to make up for that absence and to bond personally with Peng in what is dubbed as first-lady diplomacy, although the get-together of two highly popular figures whose husbands are leading the worlds two largest economies has lent itself to comparison and a bit of rivalry.
Chinese news websites prior to Mrs. Obamas visit declared a victory for Peng in style, but a U.S. fashion editor told The Washington Post that Mrs. Obama was the clear winner. Pamela Edwards Christiani, the style and beauty director of Essence magazine, also noted that Mrs. Obama enjoys an advantage in height.
The difference in height apparently was narrowed Friday when Mrs. Obama opted for flats and low heels while her host chose high-heels. Peng appeared decorous, if not a bit too stiff, while Mrs. Obama looked more relaxed as they walked through the grounds of the former Imperial Palace. Peng later hosted a private dinner for Mrs. Obama, and Xi did not attend.
Mrs. Obama, who is traveling with her two daughters and her mother, will visit the Great Wall outside Beijing on Sunday, and is due to fly Monday to Xian, home to the famed Terra Cotta Warriors Museum. She also will visit a panda breeding facility outside Chengdu in the southwest before she departs for the United States on Wednesday.MORE IN This Just In

I think not.
Step 1: What you will need...to make one.
Silhouette cutter machine (or a hobby knife and patience)
contact paper and transfer paper
I used my silhouette to cut out contact shelf lining paper...it's cheap, but so hard to see!
But it's so cheap! I buy this at the dollar store.
If you are using a Silhouette Cameo
My silhouette settings are:
Blade set to 5, cut depth on the software set to 1.
Cut speed at 3...better to go slow.
Carefully applied to wood with transfer
tape for the perfect stencil!
Of course you can print off the image and cut the contact paper out with a hobby knife as well.
Just takes some time and patience.
Step 2: Painting wood for the perfect silhouettes!
(I also did one without the painted white background)
I used the silhouette cut contact paper with transfer paper over the
top of it and carefully peeled it off the backing.
I pressed it onto the wood and made sure the edges formed a tight seal.
I painted the silhouettes of Han and Leia
and painted those on...as well as the all too famous caption!
I love you. I know.
Step 3: You know you want one.
And since I know YOU want one too...here's the file image I used.
Princess Leia and Han Solo silhouettes.
And yes, Leia's Cloud City hair.
Step 4: Slight distressing.
I put 2 eye screws in the back with a little piece of connecting hanging wire for the perfect hanging set-up!
Awesome right?
Thanks for viewing! Vote for me in the Sci-Fi contest!
And check out my blog for more tutorials daily! Doodlecraft
i did it! i made it with regular ole paper and pen though
Thank you for uploading the bust's of Han and Leia. They will be grate for my school project
Nerd-out moment, did you know that Harrison Ford ad-libbed that line?
Ya, I heard he added that line in...best part of the movie! :)
Do it--You're wife will love it!

Spring Colors Melamine Measuring Spoons, Set of 4 1 1
love these I got these measuring spoons to go with the measuring cups. I didn't "need" them but I loved the colors and the unique design on them. They're a little more shallow than I'm used to but I still love them for something different! I also like that they detatch from the ring easily to use individually. April 16, 2014

The Charlie Post Classic 15K and 5k is the signature running event of the Charleston Running Club. Now in its 31st year, this race honors the memory of Dr. Charlie Post, a well-known Charleston runner, triathlete and family physician who volunteered his time and medical talents to the running community. Dr. Post had been a very active member of the Charleston Running Club, served as the head of the College of Charlestons student health services, and also was the schools team physician for varsity sports. As a memorial, the Charleston Running Club funds an annual scholarship in his memory through the athletic department of the College of Charleston.
The run will be held Saturday, Jan. 25 at 8:30 a.m. at the Sullivans Island Fire Station
Highlights will include:
One of the longest tenured races in South Carolina
USATF Certified Course for both the 15K and the 5K
Proceeds fund scholarship for College of Charleston student athlete All Sponsorships are Tax Deductible
The Charleston Running Club has been promoting running in the region for over 30 years and it is the go-to place for all things running in the Lowcountry.
If your business wants to reach out to the local running community, the best place to start is the CRC.
Dr. Charlie Post was a medical doctor who specialized in family practice and served as the resident physician of the infirmary at the College of Charleston. He was an active member of the Charleston Running Club and an avid triathlete before endurance sports had entered the mainstream.
In 1980, Charlie organized and directed the Family Practice Physicians Fitness Run. During the same year, the annual Association of Family Practice Physicians convention was held in Charleston. Charlie thought that it would be a good idea to have a race in conjunction with the conventionto encourage the public and the physicians to improve their fitness. There was a 1-mile family fun run, a 5K and a 15Kwhich was 3 loops of the 5K course. The Family Practice Run continued in 1981 and 1982. Charlie decided not to organize a race in 1983 due to growing commitments with his practice, and the fact that the convention moved from Charleston.
In July 1983 while bicycling in preparation for a triathlon, Charlie collided with a van which was parked in the bicycle path on the Isle of Palms and was paralyzed from the neck down.
Art Liberman took over the race and changed its name and purpose.
The name of the race was changed to the Charlie Post Classic and the purpose was to raise fund to help pay some of Charlies enormous medical expenses. Charlie started the races from his wheelchair by voice command, and they were successes in every way.
Charlie was looking forward to the 1984 races and he planned to start them again. However, on October 28th of that year he died from complications caused by the accident. Since Charlie had always been a man who helped other people, it was decided to continue the race. Its purpose would now be an ongoing one: to fund a scholarship in the name of Charlie Post.
The Charlie Post Memorial Scholarship was established at the College of Charleston and has continued to this day through proceeds raised through the race. The Charleston Running Club has continued as the organizer of this annual race which now enters its 31st year.
Floppin Flounder 5K will be hosted by the Charleston Running Club on June 7th 2014. This fun, family friendly race has been a local favorite for over 20 years.

Oh, the reason I posted. I found out that the biopsy is at 11:30. I need to be at the hospital by 9:30 and no food after midnight before the endo....then clear liquids including water and apple juice are allowed until 7:30. So, that's the time slot now. I got assignments from my teachers for Monday cause I don't want to have to make up a lot of work or call people and do work after the endo. I want to get all my stuff done this weekend so that Monday I can just lie around and relax and post..... when I finish. I'll post when I get home. Thanks again for your support.

DW or Iron Cobra (hihat)?

Re: DW or Iron Cobra (hihat)?
I have 9000 series double pedal and hi-hat stand. I like them both enough, but not enough to purchase again. I would buy Tama Iron Cobra pedals and hi-hat stand. I can get my 9000 hi-hat to stand firm, but you have to make sure you adjust both the leg spread and the reinforcement to the legs to compliment each other. This might be an easy thing to overlook when setting up sometimes. It is not THAT big a deal, but I end up fussing with it more than I care to fuss with a hi-hat stand.
I would also have to echo that the 9000 is not the most responsive hi-hat out there. It has smooth down in spades, but quick does not seem to be this hi-hat's forte, at least not my hi-hat.
I think I might look to replace the DW hardware on my kit with TAMA as soon as I can get my clicky fingers to stop buying more cymbals. I recently replaced all my old Tama cymbal stands with.. wait for it... more Tama Road Pro stands. Even back when I first purchased my Tama Granstar in the 90's, I was attracted to hardware that WORKED. It's just rock-solid.
I would say that they are two of the great hardware manufactures on the scene today. But YOU need to go down to your drum shot and give them a whirl. The difference to you might be night and day between the two and only you will know once you have futzed with them.

Bakersfield man, 80, accidentally shoots wife's leg while unloading gun
Woman was taken to a local hospital
BAKERSFIELD, Calif. - A woman is recovering in the hospital this afternoon after her husband accidentally shot her in the leg, according to reports.
On August 13, firefighters with the Kern County Fire Department and deputies with the Kern County Sheriff's Officer went to Barnett and Circle Way regarding a shooting.
When officers arrived they learned that an 80-year-old man unloading his .45 took the mag out and reportedly forgot he had one in the chamber. According to reports, he then accidentally shot his 79-year-old wife in the leg.
The woman, who was unidentified, was taken by Hall Ambulance to a local hospital.
At this time, the woman's condition is not known.

Alex Rodriguez must be having trouble finding a new blonde babe to slide into home with, so he's settled back in with his ex Cameron Diaz.
They were caught getting all snuggly together at a members-only club last week in West Hollywood. "They looked super couple-y," an insider tells Us Magazine. "Cameron was holding his hand and nuzzling him."
If that sounds familiar, it's because that's kind of what the Yankee player does. He breaks up with chicks, scopes out the scene, and returns to them if he doesn't find a suitable blonde replacement.
"They break up and get back together all the time," says a source close to them.
There's only one word for that in my book, and it's called booty call.
Cam shouldn't get her hopes up on being A-Rod's #1 cheerleader for the 2011 season quite yet, because as you may recall, he did the same thing with Kate Hudson.
After calling it quits last December, Alex and Kate were then spotted house hunting in LA the next month. Talk about getting a girl's hopes up! Naturally, the second go-around fizzled, and they went their separate ways. By February, Alex was already on to his new woman Cameron.
They were going strong until earlier this month when they abruptly broke up, because, as Life & Style put it, he just "stopped liking her."
Sources say Rodriguez got the wandering-eye syndrome again, and it really hurt Cam's feelings. But apparently she wasn't hurt enough to give it another try!
After the canoodle-sesh in LA, the couple headed down to Miami, where they were spotted yesterday. Sources tell our friends at Hollywood Life that A-Rod had to do some serious begging to get back in Diaz's pants, but she finally gave in.
"He cut things off from her and she was really hurt. She wasn't looking to get married or anything, but Alex has a wandering eye and wanted to see other people. But, he missed her. Cameron is really a lot of fun and Alex always had a good time with her," says the insider.
Hello, red flags! How does Cameron not see all the warning signs?! He did this exact same thing with Kate Hudson just months ago, and now he's doing the same thing to her.
If he can't be satisfied with either of those gorgeous women, no one should even bother trying to date him.

Today I bought Vive - Smooth-Intense Shampoo and Conditioner (seperate bottles)
There is no contact info on the bottle - only a website with no way to contact them or FAQs.
Is this stuff okay? The longer I've been on the diet, the more sensative I've become.
Otherwise, I need some names of manufacturers of gluten-free shampoos and conditioner - especially conditioner. My product listing has NONE! I won't be able to comb my hair anymore (it's getting longer) - and it's growing (NO, i will NOT cut it!)so it'll only get worse.

Confirmed Celiac by biopsy - July 18th 2003
4 people in family with Celiac Disease (mom, two brothers, me)

I'll call them on Monday.
There is something wrong with the Neutrogena for me - I can't use it.
Neutrogena also put out a statement that they don't guarantee their products are gluten-free any more and to use with caution. Since they give me a reaction - I don't use them anymore.
Guess I'm stuck with Toms (yuck! - smelly!)

(My question)
Are your products gluten and wheat free? I need to know before I purchase any...
Discussion Thread
Response (Monika) - 07/02/2004 02:21 PM
Thanks for contacting Pantene, Terri.
We know Celiac is a serious disease, so we want to give you clear information regarding the use of our beauty care products. If wheat and/or gluten aren't directly added to a product by us, these ingredients won't be listed on our packages. Like many companies, we often purchase the scents for fragranced products from outside suppliers, and the components of these substances are proprietary information belonging to those companies. Therefore it's possible that a very small amount (generally parts per million) of gluten may be present.
We sought advice from physicians; they told us it would be very unlikely a person with Celiac disease would have a reaction from a trace amount of gluten coming into contact with his skin or hair. This is because wheat, rye, barley and/or gluten generally cause symptoms when they're ingested. Since our beauty care products are designed to be used externally on the skin, their use shouldn't be an issue for someone with this disease.
Since gluten sensitivity can vary among people, it would be best if you consulted with your physician about the use of all types of consumable goods, if you haven't already. You might even consider using one of our fragrance free products that doesn't list gluten or wheat extracts on the label.
I hope this response has been helpful to you. For more information about Celiac, you may want to check out http://celiac.com/ and http://celiac.org
Thanks for getting in touch with us.

I've been using Pantene for a few weeks now and I've not had a problem. No more Neutrogena for me! I'm fairly certain Pantene IS okay since I seem to be really sensitive now and I have no problem with it.
thanks for telling me!

Then, as Bisberg puts it, the future whispered. In 2006 and 2007, Albeo got two calls that indicated untapped potential in the industrial market. An owner-occupied skyscraper in New York had modified some residences into an industrial space and wanted hundreds of LEDs by the end of the month. And a government agency wanted to outfit an aircraft carrier entirely with LEDs. Albeo couldn't provide these lights on time; it didn't even have UL certification for them. But it saw these calls as hints about where the future was going and it heeded the call: In 2007, Albeo shifted from the residential market to the industrial market, which it thought would place a higher value on lower maintenance costs. By then, LED technology had improved so rapidly that Albeo could make practical fixtures suitable for the industrial market.
Albeo won second place at an NREL-sponsored business-plan competition, which helped it close its first round of venture funding in 2007. (Albeo has raised a total of $11.25 million over the last five years, including venture capital from Green Spark Ventures and Braemer Energy Ventures and debt equity from Silicon Valley Bank.) And then it landed a $2 million order to retrofit one of the world's largest data centers with all LED fixtures. The big orders kept coming. In late 2009 and early 2010, Albeo improved the efficiency of Caterpillar's lighting system by 60 percent while boosting its light levels. Other customers include Dole Food Co., Natural Grocers by Vitamin Cottage, the Palo Verde Nuclear Generating Station in Arizona and the world's eight largest data centers.
As the smallest of the lighting markets, the industrial market attracted much less competition. "By choosing a market that's somewhat under the radar, we got to a position that's more competitive," Bisberg explained. "We were able to get further along with less competition to grow quicker, and I think that's the key for a small company to be able to get up to critical mass. Over our first six or seven years, we put in our base level structure and put critical procedures in place and now we can compete with anybody."
Aside from energy savings, reduced maintenance costs have proved an effective selling point. For example, the Palo Verde Nuclear Generating Station switched to LEDs because of the lower maintenance, not because of the energy efficiency. After all, energy in a nuclear power plant is cheap and available, but maintenance is not. Plant managers decided they would rather use their maintenance people for more valuable tasks than changing light bulbs, Bisberg said.
Maintenance comes at a premium in data centers, pharmaceutical factories, cold storage facilities, grocery stores, convention centers, military bases, schools and, of course, power plants, he added. And now, Albeo also is expanding into the commercial market, where Bisberg estimates that 12 billion square feet of U.S. office space could yield a potential market of $24-$36 billion.
The industry still faces some risks and challenges, of course. For one thing, it has benefitted from utility rebates and high electricity prices, and could be at risk if the prices or rebates drop too quickly too soon. Albeo also faces competition from traditional light-fixture companies, as well as from other LED startups.
(Interestingly, when I asked Bisberg about competing with larger companies back in September, he said, "we tend to move quicker than they do, with new versions, models and performance points.")
Albeo's working on new improvements to cut costs: It has developed lab prototypes that integrate both LED chips and circuit boards into the fixtures, eliminating the need for a separate diode and circuit board. Bisberg also expects to see "a slight glut" of LED chips in the marketplace in the future, which should further lower costs. LEDs will become less expensive – while remaining more efficient – than fluorescents in two to five years, he predicts. "At that point, it's a no brainer," he said.

Lost me......what's got 1 star and what band is spelled wrong? Kev
One of the most distinctive drummers and personalities I have ever known. It was Tommy that made the music go round and round. NRBQ's lineup during their prime time will never be touched - a friend of mind likes to call them "The American Beatles." They should have been inducted in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Thanks for the music Tom, God bless you and your family, and that includes your NRBQ family..........Thanks for the music and all those wild nights........
Ray, Ray, Ray.....Are you serious? For real? Kev
p.s. Thanks for writing
Thanks for the tips and for writing. Who else out there has lists? Kev O'Hare
Hey Nick,,,,Got to review about 250 albums this year but not that one. Heard good things about it though. What band would you say they sound most like? Thanks for writing...................Kev
Thank you acidbird! Fixed.
Aw c'mon easy Rider. Tough crowd....Then again, I actually like Keith Richard's voice...Thanks for the note, Kev
Hey loon13. Thanks for the provocative note. Gotta disagree with you to some extent however, maybe it's because I first heard "Miss You" bouncing around the walls of SouthWest at UMass and it sounded so good. I still like it. But one man's dud is another's classic and the Stones, Beatles, Dylan, Springsteen etc have all recorded their share of duds through the years..................Thanks for writing, Kev
Thanks for the note NEUnderground.........apologies about the typo in the song title, I will fix pronto. Always good to hear folks' opinions on this stuff. I thought overall it was a very positive review. Sometimes I get surprised by how people interpret these things.......Keep rockin' Kev O'Hare
Well that's getting pretty nasty. She certainly does stir emotions. Kev
so you're not likely to be at the show I assume? Thanks for the note. Kev
Very good point John, "Songs from the South" is well worth investing in, very moderate price and a great album. I still have some "hits" columns tied in with gift buying season, hopefully I will get a chance to mention that again there.........Thanks for the reminder! Kev
Thanks for the note Erik, fascinating guy indeed, but yeah I wish we could hear from him more frequently too.............
Thanks Buddy - two great tunes.........Kev
Thanks Milfordbrandon, certainly one of the most colorful characters in modern music history. Thanks for writing....Kev
YOU are bad. Great band! Who the heck DO you like? Besides Mr. Guthrie of course.
Thanks for the note - Kev
YOU are funny.....Thanks for the note - Kev
Thanks for the note Howie, I TOTALLY agree re: Blake Mills.............Kev O'Hare
There's not a "right" or a "wrong" in these kind of discussion, just opinions, and I am glad that you and wildbill have expressed them. All I can tell you is that I like Blake Mills, the guitarist in question, and so do a lot of other people. I've included just three other clips from some of Williams' July shows and they all included favorable mentions of the guitarist. I can tell you that I have seen plenty of "terrible" guitarists in the decades that I've been doing them. Blake Mills wasn't one of them and you have to be pretty terrible to have you guys singling him out as the biggest problem with the show. Again, different strokes for different folks, and thank you for writing but check out the following links - Kev:
The 58-year-old Grammy winner was backed by a kick-ass three-piece band, who exorcised the pain with a driving spare rock sound. The star among the trio was guitarist Blake Mills, hailed by Williams in an interview with Patch as a "prodigy."
Hey wildbill - thanks for writing.....Have you seen Lucinda before? I think her head was definitely in the show and though the set did drag a bit mid-way through, the last half was vibrant. As for not liking her guitar player, sorry but I totally disagree, I thought his work was amazing - especially during the second half of her set which is probably after you left...From a pure entertainment viewpoint, I agree wit what you said about Amos, he was entertaining and his backing singer was fabulous. But Lucinda's much more of an intimate songwriter, in my opinion, one of the best of her era. Thanks so much for posting your thoughts - Kev

Iontophoresis is a technique that uses an electrical current to move substances across the skin or other body surfaces such as the eye. Although the effect was first noted in the eighteenth century, its use in medicine only became popular after 1900, following the publication of a series of papers on the subject by the French physician Stéphane Leduc.
Iontophoresis only works on ions – water-soluble substances that have a positive or negative charge – and is based on the general principle that like charges repel and unlike charges attract. By using a direct (galvanic) current, an ion can be 'pushed' into the skin if the electrode (the active or working electrode) being used has the same charge as the ion in question, i.e. a positive ion (cation) will be pushed into the skin by a positive electrode (anode) and a negative ion (anion) will be similarly affected by a negative electrode (cathode). In some cases therapists refer to each process separately – cataphoresis when the positive electrode is the working electrode (it pushes cations) and anaphoresis for when the negative electrode is used (it pushes anions) – but as this is rather confusing both processes are often simply referred to as iontophoresis.
Working electrodes come in a variety of forms ranging from balls, rollers and disks to full face masks. As a direct current is used, another electrode (the passive, indifferent or return electrode) is required to complete the electrical circuit and get the current to flow. This electrode can be a bar which is given to the client to hold or a pad which is placed somewhere where it makes good body contact, such as under the shoulder or wrapped around the upper arm.
Because it is very difficult to move water-soluble chemicals across the skin's surface, iontophoresis was considered by many to be a promising method for delivering drugs when it was first introduced. Unfortunately, due to a variety of factors, including the excellent barrier properties of the skin, this has not held up in practice and it currently has only limited applications within medicine – such as treatments for hyperhidrosis (abnormal sweating of the palms or other areas of the body).
Electricity had been used to increase skin penetration before the arrival of iontophoresis in salons. The main aim of this treatment was to redden the skin thereby increasing absorption through increased blood flow. So, even if some ions were moved in the process, it was not a true iontophoresis treatment.
After the paste has become thoroughly dry it may be removed by washing the skin with luke-warm water, and then if the patches on the face or neck are very deep, the bleaching lotion may be forced into the skin by means of the negative electrode, … continuing the process until the skin is thoroughly reddened. This process, it should be understood, is only used for moth patch or chloasma, and would not be used in the ordinary treatment at all.
Red light was used in a similar fashion to redden skin with the idea that this would increase absorption.
See also: Red Light, Blue Light
The earliest record I have for iontophoresis being used as a salon practice is by Helena Rubinstein in 1935, but it is possible that it was a treatment regime in French salons before this. Exactly what ingredients were used in these early salon treatments has so far eluded me but I suspect they were nothing startling. Clients were probably sold on the general idea that iontophoresis would increase the penetration of whatever cream or gel was being used in the facial or body treatment at the time. Heat produced during the treatment can also result in skin reddening which clients would be told was having a regenerating effect on the skin.
Iontophoretic ingredients used in salon treatments today include such things as vitamins, minerals, collagen, elastin, amino acids, hyaluronic acid and a range of animal and plant extracts. They come pre-prepared in a range of forms, e.g. gels, serums, ampoules, etc. Therapists are usually provided with very little information as to how these work, other than the skin condition on which they are to be applied and the polarity of the electrode to be used. As with many ingredients in skin creams, it is doubtful that some of these substances could penetrate the skin, whether a current is used or not, let alone whether they would be effective.
Claims for iontophoretic treatments include hydration, repair and regeneration of mature or damaged skin, stimulation of sluggish circulation and, in the case of body treatments, the softening and absorption of fat and cellulite. Many of these claims are suspect, given that they rely on the transfer and action of specific ingredients deep into the skin.
Iontophoretic treatments which required the operator to reverse the polarity of the electrode – change from negative to positive or positive to negative – are particularly dubious as the opposing polarity would begin to reverse any effect previously generated and ions that were hitherto 'pushed' into the skin would now be 'pulled' out of it.
Another galvanic treatment that appeared contemporaneously with the introduction of iontophoresis was 'De-incrustation'. According to reports, this new treatment, developed by the Société P.A.B. in France, used a direct current to remove 'incrustations' from the skin.
The developers of the treatment described these 'incrustations' as 'microscopic crystallisations' formed by chemical reactions between certain chemicals and minerals in creams, make-up, atmospheric pollution and perspiration. As the impurities built up in the skin they adversely affected it – causing in wrinkles, pimples, acne and blackheads – so they required removal, that is, the skin needed to be 'de-incrustated'.
The chief characteristics of the method consist in breaking up, reducing and eliminating all the impurities (waste matter, dust, toxins, crystallisations, etc.) which block up the glandular tubes. … The immediate result is—increased blood circulation and, gradually, recolouring of the epidermis.
The treatment became another established practice within Beauty Culture. Later known as disincrustation or desincrustation it uses another well known effect of direct (galvanic) currents.
Desincrustation relies on the fact that when a direct current is used an alkali (sodium hydroxide) is produced at the negative electrode and an acid (hydrochloric acid) is generated at the positive electrode.
This chemical reaction was well known to science in the nineteenth century and was the basic science behind the electrical removal of unwanted hair using electrolysis.
See also: Electrolysis
Unlike electrolysis, where the sodium hydroxide (lye) is concentrated in a small area in the living dermis of the skin through the insertion of a needle, in desincrustation the sodium hydroxide is spread over the stratum corneum of the epidermis – which is dead tissue – using a swab, roller or something similar. So, rather than destroying tissue, as in electrolysis, the effect of the sodium hydroxide in desincrustation is merely to soften the keratin in the epidermis. This assists in desquamating surface keratinocytes and in loosening any hard plugs of sebum that occur in blackheads. The treatment is therefore commonly employed as precursor to extractions.
See also: Enlarged Pore and Blackhead Treatments
The negative electrode used in desincrustation can be a disk, roller or ball electrode, a full facial mask, or something as simple as a tweezer electrode encased in a pad of cotton wool soaked in conducting solution. Unlike iontophoresis, where specialised ampoules are needed, a simple salt solution is all that was required.
In order to carry out either desincrustation or iontophoresis, a salon will need to purchase a galvanic machine. Having done so it makes sense for them to maximise the return on their outlay by combining iontophoresis and desincrustation into a single treatment. Commonly, this is done by first carrying out desincrustation using the negative electrode and then following this with iontophoresis using only the positive electrode.
This has two main benefits. Using desincrustation first, helps reduce the barrier properties of the skin by helping with exfoliation, in theory making it easier for ions to move across the skin during iontophoresis. Then, as acid is produced under the positive electrode, following desincrustation with iontophoresis (using only the positive electrode) helps restore the acid balance of the skin upset by the sodium hydroxide generated during desincrustation.

ERWIN — Town of Erwin Street Department Supervisor Carroll Mumpower was fired Dec. 7 for continued policy violations and insubordination, according to documents in his personnel file.
Town Recorder Randy Trivette said Tuesday that Mumpower's termination was due to a policy violation, but declined to comment further.
According to Mumpower's termination notice written by Trivette and filed in Mumpower's personnel file, in September Mumpower had requested the use of inmates to help with weed-eating along Interstate 26. Trivette states in the letter that he agreed to the use of inmates specifically for this purpose and had directed Mumpower not to have the work- release inmates at the public works garage. Mumpower disobeyed this directive, Trivette's letter states.
"I specifically told you not to allow the inmates at the public works garage, however you made a very poor decision to allow them to not only be in the garage but to provide mechanical work to the city's police cruisers in the shop for maintenance," Trivette's letter states.
Trivette's letter further states that Mumpower allowed an inmate to travel to Johnson City to purchase parts needed for the cars and took an inmate home to pick up a welder.
"This violation of directives led to a police investigation for an inmate obtaining illegal narcotics while released in your custody in the parking lot of the city public works garage," the letter states.
Trivette also states in his letter that when questioned about the situation, Mumpower was "less than truthful" with his responses, and that Mumpower did not mention that the inmate had traveled to Johnson City and that he had taken an inmate to his home. Trivette states in the letter that he learned of these items from a police investigation.
"This flagrant act of insubordination, poor decision making, untruthfulness and your past history of incidents requiring counseling, written reprimand and suspension from duty leave me no choice but to terminate your employment," the letter states. "I have seen no change or improvement in your pattern regarding the performance of your duties from previous disciplinary actions and have no reason to doubt these actions would continue."
According to documents in his personnel file, Mumpower received a written reprimand in May 2006 for policy violations and received a three-day suspension in October 2010.
In a Dec. 6 letter to Trivette from Town Attorney Thomas J. Seeley III, Seeley recommended Mumpower's firing. In his letter, Seeley wrote that Mumpower had been involved in two incidents in the past six months that could have exposed the town to liability. The first involved town employees entering a resident's property to clean up junk and debris to bring the property into compliance with the town's zoning ordinances.
Seeley states at some point, some property the property owner claimed to be valuable was taken. Seeley said after the property owner contacted the Erwin Police Department, Mumpower arranged for another individual to return the property.
"When employees of the town enter a citizen's property to remove junk or any other items, there is potential for the town to be responsible for damage done to the property or responsible for items removed from the property," Seeley's letter states.
The second incident Seeley cites is the one involving the inmates at the Public Works Garage.
Seeley and Trivette met with Mumpower for a disciplinary hearing Dec. 7. On that same date, Mumpower was issued a termination notice. He was also given one week to turn in all equipment and uniforms belonging to the city.
When reached for comment, Mumpower provided a written statement.
"It has been a privilege to serve the citizens of the town of Erwin for the past 26½ years," Mumpower's statement said. "Although I do not agree with the statements made in the letter of termination, I will refrain from further comment at this time until I weigh all my further options."
Mumpower also added that the inmate who was alleged to have received narcotics while at the public works garage did so from a family member who brought the narcotics to the inmate while the crew was on its lunch break.
"It was out of my control," Mumpower said.

Alex Burrows has a lot to be happy about these days. He's about to get a $2.5 million raise, his team is heading into the playoffs with, if all goes well, home-ice advantage, and there are tentative plans for a charity tennis match between him and Milos Raonic in August, which is pretty dang cool.
Yes, life is good for Burrows and you would think that he wouldn't have much to be sad about. Oh how wrong you would be, hypothetical person. As this picture from Jeff Vinnick's Behind the Lens series at Canucks.com reveals, Burrows is super sad right now.
How sad is Burrows? So sad!
He needs to take some lessons in happiness from Sami Salo:
In any case, here are 20 reasons why Alex Burrows is sad:
1 | Only just now found out no one can understand what he's saying.
2 | Trying to find the right time to tell everyone they forgot his birthday.
3 | Maxim Lapierre ate the last piece of plain cheese pizza, when he knows that's all Burrows eats.
4 | The Swedish government turned down his application to be adopted into the Sedin family.
5 | Not actually sad. He's working on his pouty face so maybe officials will give him a break for once.
6 | Found out the next season of Breaking Bad was pushed to August. Then found out Bryan Cranston was in Vancouver when he wasn't.
7 | Left his laptop out in the open while still logged into Facebook. Came back to find that his status was "I love Maxim Lapierre so much! He is my best friend!" when that totally isn't true.
8 | Hormones.
9 | Had Jose Reyes in his fantasy baseball league.
10 | Upset that Lapierre was recently voted "best French-Canadian teammate".
11 | Lapierre won't give him his hat back.
12 | Is disappointed in the new season of Community.
13 | Tried to say "butternut squash". Said "squatternut bosh". Super embarrassed.
14 | Just got another menacing phone call from Stephane Auger. When will the nightmare end?!
15 | If you don't know, he's not going to tell you.
16 | Was this close to winning an eBay auction for his own rookie card, but some jerk named "Strombone1″ outbid him at the last second.
17 | Saw that really disgusting Internet video. You know the one.

"Brazil's best footballers are playing for the national team and in Europe from a very early age these days," remarked Pele last year. A look at the nation's leading revelations over the past decade certainly supports his theory.
Ronaldinho, Kaka and Robinho were all teenage internationals and joined Paris Saint-Germain, AC Milan and Real Madrid respectively as 21-year-olds, while Alexandre Pato was already the property of the aforementioned Italian giants at 17 and seems destined to win his first cap before his 19th birthday.
Every rule has its exception, however, and this one's goes by the name of Thiago Neves. When the 2007 Brazilian Championship got underway last May, he was a little-known attacking midfielder who, at 22, had only turned out for modest Parana and in Japan's second tier.
But in less than 12 months, Thiago Neves has transformed himself into one of the most electrifying, productive and coveted Brazilian footballers. A classic No10, his ability to beat opponents and provide that killer pass - or cross - makes him a consistent creator of chances.
Even more eye-catching, though, is his ability to score from distance. As accomplished at subtly curling the ball into the back of the net as he is at crashing home ferocious, swerving shots with his left foot, à la former Seleção great Eder, he was the source of nightmares for goalkeepers throughout 2007.
First, he helped Fluminense to Copa do Brasil glory, which guaranteed their place in this season's Copa Libertadores, and then he played the leading role in them finishing fourth in the Brazilian Championship, winning the Placar Golden Ball in the process.
International recognition
Thiago Neves has since picked up from where he left off last term, thrilling audiences, inspiring his employers and charming Dunga, who has handed him successive national team call-ups, the first of which came for the friendly against Republic of Ireland in February.
"Even though I only got the chance to train with the squad, it was great to be with the Seleção," he said. "I returned to Fluminense with more confidence and I think it showed."
Dunga seemed to think so and, following a series of exceptional performances in the Tricolor colours, including a hat-trick in a 4-1 defeat of Flamengo in the Taca Guanabara and an irrepressible display in a 6-0 win over Arsenal in the Copa Libertadores, Thiago Neves duly retained his spot in the Brazil party for the friendly against Sweden on 26 March.
"I was very nervous before the announcement but I'm
delighted to have kept my place," he admitted. "
Title targets
A run-out at the Emirates Stadium would likely elongate the list of heavyweights willing to part with big money to lure playmaker to Europe; a list reportedly fronted by AC Milan and Benfica. Not that Fluminense president Roberto Horcades has any plans to cash in on his prized asset.
"Thiago is not going anywhere," he insisted. "Fluminense is not a selling club but a buying one. We are fighting for the Libertadores and world titles."
O Fluzão's assault on South America's biggest club prize will continue at Libertad tonight. Having taken four points from a trip to LDU and the visit of Arsenal, victory in Asuncion would send Renato Gaucho's side top of Group 8 on goal difference - and leave them in a commanding position to reach the knockout phase.
"It's difficult to play in Paraguay," warned Thiago Neves. "It will be a tough game but let's see if we can repeat our performance against Arsenal."
It may have taken him a little longer than Ronaldinho, Kaka and Robinho to announce his immense potential, but it seems inevitable that the world will be seeing a lot more of Thiago Neves in the future. Fluminense supporters will be hoping one such opportunity arrives at the FIFA Club World Cup Japan 2008 in December.

- An Integrated Architecture for Shallow and Deep Processing (2002)
- We present an architecture for the integration of shallow and deep NLP components which is aimed at flexible combination of different language technologies for a range of practical current and future applications. In particular, we describe the integration of a high-level HPSG parsing system with different high-performance shallow components, ranging from named entity recognition to chunk parsing and shallow clause recognition. The NLP components enrich a representation of natural language text with layers of new XML meta-information using a single shared data structure, called the text chart. We describe details of the integration methods, and show how information extraction and language checking applications for realworld German text benefit from a deep grammatical analysis.
- Hybrid Robust Deep and Shallow Semantic Processing for Creativity Support in Document Production (2004)
- The research performed in the DeepThought project (http://www.project-deepthought.net) aims at demonstrating the potential of deep linguistic processing if added to existing shallow methods that ensure robustness. Classical information retrieval is extended by high precision concept indexing and relation detection. We use this approach to demonstrate the feasibility of three ambitious applications, one of which is a tool for creativity support in document production and collective brainstorming. This application is described in detail in this paper. Common to all three applications, and the basis for their development is a platform for integrated linguistic processing. This platform is based on a generic software architecture that combines multiple NLP components and on robust minimal recursive semantics (RMRS) as a uniform representation language.

Center for Biological Diversity, Oceana, and SharkStewards filed a petition this week to list the Great White Shark as threatened orendangered. From the petition:
White sharks, Carcharodon carcharias, of the northeastern Pacific Ocean are in peril. New studies demonstrate that these sharks form a genetically distinct population. Such a population, covering a significant portion of the world's oceans, urgently needs protection under the Endangered Species Act. Other new studies show that this population has only a few hundred adult and sub-adult individual white sharks left – a population level so low that the species is at risk of extinction even without regard to other threats.
At Audubon California we know sharks matter too. Last year we sent our own letter to encourage our local Sanctuaries to improve their white shark conservation.Great White Sharks face many of the same threats Northwest Pacific Seabird population face; namely, vulnerability to poor fishing practices that lead to injury and death. In addition to sharing threats, seabirds and sharks are kindred species in other respects: they are top or apex predators; meaning they are at the top of the food change and serve the most critical role in maintaining ecosystem health and inter-predator relationships are affected by the population of top predators.
Another shared trait is their use of the Farallon Islands. It is the most important habitat area for both due to the area's rich food and breeding grounds. (For an entertaining account of sharks and birds of Farallon pick up The Devil's Teeth.)
The third, and in our personal opinion, the most important trait sharks and birds share is their unique ability to capture the public's imagination. Many conservationists become interested in the environment because a shark or a bird caught their attention as a child.

American, 1938-1961
Michael Clark Rockefeller (born 1938 - presumed dead November 17, 1961), was the youngest son of New York Governor (later Vice President) Nelson Aldrich Rockefeller and Mary Todhunter Rockefeller and a fourth generation member of the Rockefeller family. He disappeared during an expedition in the Asmat region of southwestern New Guinea.
Early life
After attending The Buckley School in New York, Rockefeller graduated from Harvard University cum laude in 1960, served for six months as a private in the U.S. Army, then went on an expedition for Harvard's Peabody Museum of Archaeology and Ethnology which studied the Dani tribe of western New Guinea. The expedition produced Dead Birds, an ethnographic documentary film produced by Robert Gardner, and for which Rockefeller was the sound recordist. Rockefeller and a friend briefly left the expedition to study the Asmat tribe of southern New Guinea. After returning home with the Peabody expedition, Rockefeller returned to New Guinea to study the Asmat and collect Asmat art.
"It's the desire to do something adventurous," he explained, "at a time when frontiers, in the real sense of the word, are disappearing."
"It's the desire to do something adventurous," he explained, "at a time when frontiers, in the real sense of the word, are disappearing."
On November 17, 1961, Rockefeller and Dutch anthropologist René Wassing were in a 40-foot dugout canoe about three miles from shore when their double pontoon boat was swamped and overturned. Their two local guides swam for help, but it was slow in coming. After drifting for some time, Rockefeller said to Wassing "I think I can make it" and swam for shore. Wassing was rescued the next day, while Rockefeller was never seen again, despite an intensive and lengthy search effort. At the time, Rockefeller's disappearance was a major world news item. His body was never found. He was declared legally dead in 1964.
Most believe that Rockefeller either drowned or was attacked by a shark or crocodile. Because headhunting and cannibalism were still present in some areas of Asmat in 1961, some have speculated that Rockefeller was killed and eaten by local people.
In 1969, the journalist Milt Machlin traveled to New Guinea to investigate Rockefeller's disappearance. He dismissed reports of Rockefeller's living as a captive or as aKurtz-like figure in the jungle, but concluded that there was circumstantial evidence to support the idea that he was killed. Several leaders of Otsjanep village, where Rockefeller likely would have arrived had he made it to shore, were killed by a Dutch patrol in 1958, and thus would have some rationale for revenge against someone from the "white tribe." Neither cannibalism nor headhunting in Asmat were indiscriminate, but rather were part of a tit-for-tat revenge cycle, and so it is possible that Rockefeller found himself the inadvertent victim of such a cycle started by the Dutch patrol.
A book called Rocky Goes West by author Paul Toohey claims that, in 1979, Rockefeller's mother hired a private investigator to go to New Guinea and try to resolve the mystery of his disappearance. The reliability of the story has been questioned, but Toohey claims that the private investigator swapped a boat engine for the skulls of the three men that a tribe claimed were the only white men they had ever killed. The investigator returned to New York and handed these skulls to the family, convinced that one of them was the skull of Rockefeller. If this event did actually occur, the family has never commented on it. There was, however, a report on the History Channel program "Vanishings" that Rockefeller's mother did pay a $250,000 reward to the investigator which was offered for final proof whether or not Michael Rockefeller was alive or dead.
Asmat artifacts and photographs
Many of the Asmat artifacts Rockefeller collected are part of the Michael C. Rockefeller collection at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City. The Peabody Museum is currently exhibiting 3,500 pictures taken by Rockefeller during the New Guinea expedition.
Popular culture
The band Guadalcanal Diary wrote a song about Rockefeller's disappearance, which appeared on their 1985 album Jamboree.
Christopher Stokes' short story "The Man Who Ate Michael Rockefeller," published in the 23rd edition of McSweeney's Quarterly Concern, presents a fictional account of young Michael's demise.
The 2004 novel King of America by Samantha Gillison is loosely based on the life of Michael Rockefeller.
The 2007 film Welcome to the Jungle deals with two young couples who venture after Michael Rockefeller (thinking they can make a lot of money if they find evidence of Rockefeller) but meet grisly demises.

Groups Push for Legislative Protection of Broad Canyon
By Sarina Turnbull
Las Cruces, NM – New Mexicans visit Broad Canyon in Dona Ana County to hike, bike, go off-roading or just enjoy nature. Recently, however Broad Canyon was added to a list of ten natural treasures that are at risk of losing their wilderness qualities. Environmental groups are pushing for legislative protection in order to preserve its wilderness qualities.

Thomas Hegarty, company director at developer Roll7, gave me a quick primer before my demo. "We're a small team in London, UK – there's about seven of us. We've got a team of about four working on this game," Hegarty said. OlliOlli, though being funded by Sony, isn't a Pub Fund game, and Roll7 will publish and retain all rights.%Gallery-191461% "It's funded, but not published, which is an awesome deal for us because we retain the IP." OlliOlli is the studio's second game, after launching an iOS game that "sank in the ocean of the 50 billion app downloads or whatever." Hegarty then explained that it was the positive reviews for this app that helped facilitate the approach to Sony.
Even though Sony turned down a few initial ideas from the developer, OlliOlli stood out. Originally, the game was set to have procedurally generated levels with a kind of infinite-skater theme. Only recently had the developer decided to shift its focus away from that style of play.
"In the last three weeks, quite a lot has changed. We've moved away from the infinite-runner mode. What we realized is the best part of the game is tricking, learning the combos – so we're actually building levels out so people could understand it, learn it, get the replay value and the trick system. We're not sure how many tricks there are at the moment; there are so many combos and ways to vary them."
Though the original plan was to launch OlliOlli in November, Hegarty said Roll7 is "thinking releasing when the PS4 and Xbox One comes out is the more sensible option." As for pricing, the game will be £4 in the UK; US pricing hasn't been nailed down yet, though Hagerty thinks it'll be somewhere around $6 or $7.
What I played felt great. OlliOlli uses the left analog to initiate ollies and nollies, much like the system seen in the Skate series – just not as complex. When landing, pressing the X button at the right time will make for a smoother landing, and different grinds are accomplished based on the direction of the left analog stick. Pressing X also pushes off, so using just a few buttons I was able to pull off more complex combo chains.
Hegarty ended our time discussing a coming "daily grind mode" in OlliOlli that will be updated every 24 hours. "We've also got the daily grind mode, which is a spot from the game, a couple of grinds, jump, land – something like that. It's open for 24 hours, you can practice as many times as you want, but you get one live go. if you slam on your face, then that's your go for the day. We'll open different spots for 24 hours and so we'll have a leaderboard for it and, of course, the rest of the game."
