SYRACUSE Carmelo Anthony knew he was destined to wear Orange when he came home from school one day during his junior year in Baltimore, and saw Syracuse coach Jim Boeheim sitting on his front step.
Before that day, I thought there was no way I was going to Syracuse, Anthony said Saturday after having his No. 15 jersey retired at halftime of the SU-Georgetown game in the Carrier Dome. But after coach Boeheim sat on my couch and we talked about what we could accomplish at Syracuse, I started to bleed Orange and havent stopped.
Anthony, now starring for the New York Knicks in the NBA, returned to Central New York some 10 years after helping lead the Orange to its one and only national championship in 2003. He said the cycle is now complete.
I cant put into the right words what this means to me and my family, Anthony said. The Syracuse community took a young kid from Baltimore into their arms and made me feel welcome from the first day I stepped on the campus until the day I left. If not for them, and my coaches and teammates, I wouldnt be standing here today.
Among his former SU teammates returning for the ceremony was Watertowns Matt Gorman, Josh Pace and Craig Forth. Anthony gave them credit for making my dream and the teams dreams come true. Without them, I wouldnt be the man I am today.
SU went 30-5 in Anthonys lone season in Central New York. He averaged 22.2 points and 10 rebounds a game in leading the Orange to a 13-3 Big East record and was named a first-team all-conference first-team pick and conference rookie of the year.
He was also Final Four MVP after leading the Orange past Texas in the semifinals and Kansas in the national championship game.
Following the season, he was chosen first team All-American by the Sporting News, and second team by the Associated Press and several other publications.
After entering his name in the NBA Draft, he was chosen as the second pick overall by the Denver Nuggets. During the 2010-11 campaign he was traded to the New York Knicks.
He has been a member of three U.S. Olympic teams and was a key performer as the U.S. won gold medals in 2008 and 2012.
To be able to accomplish things after I left Syracuse was all because of what I learned here, he said. Not only as a player, but as a man and a husband and father.
Anthony also made the lead gift, reported to be $2.5 million, toward the construction of SUs new practice facility, which was named the Carmelo K. Anthony Basketball Center.
It was easy for me to say I was part of the Syracuse community, and then walk away for good, Anthony said. But I was determined to keep my word and give back to this school what I thought they needed. Now the teams have a real home to call their own.
Anthonys jersey joins that of Dave Bing, Derrick Coleman, Sherman Douglas, Billy Gabor, Vic Hanson, Billy Owens, Wilmeth Sadat Singh, Rony Seikaly and Dwayne Pearl Washington, which have been previously honored.
SU coach Jim Boeheim said Anthony was one of the most important players and people weve ever had at Syracuse. The center named after him is such a tremendous asset to the entire community. Im sure glad I made that trip to Baltimore and perched on his stoop waiting for him to get back from school.

Bye bye finance, hello maths and science
We may be in a recession, but according to Gordon Brown, that's all the more reason to invest in science and maths education. In a speech in Oxford today, Brown pledged to increase the number of students taking maths A level from the current 56,000 to 86,000 in 2014, and to make sure that 90% of state schools teach physics, chemistry and biology as separate subjects, also by 2014. The measures are meant to help ensure Britain's future competitiveness, and ease its over-dependence on financial services, which have got us into this mess in the first place. Some of the losers of the recession, those who have lost their jobs but have maths, science and IT degrees, are to be encouraged and supported to take up teaching, to tackle the lack of specialist teachers in these subjects. Brown also pledged to encourage a positive public debate about science in order to improve the public's understanding of its role in society.

Geneticists are usually concerned with picking apart the individual genes that make up a genome, but now two biochemical engineers from the University of Wisconsin Madison have decided to re-assemble all the pieces and give them a good shake. They found that it's not just the genes themselves, but also the way in which they are organised within the genome, that determine the characteristics of an organism.

Life's an algorithm
It's not often that maths makes it into the mainstream media, and when it does, it's usually a very specific bit of maths — a statistical result or a certain application — that's being examined. An article published yesterday on the Guardian website makes a nice exception. It explores how maths underlies almost every aspect of modern life, from traffic lights to iTunes. Thank you, Guardian!

We're doomed, say scientists
Sometimes a boring story can become a lot more interesting if you do some skilled number juggling. This is what seems to have happened in an article in The Daily Telegraph, which claims that 90% of us carry a gene which increases the risk of high blood pressure by 18%. And high blood pressure is of course linked to dreaded killers like stroke and heart disease.
In his Understanding Uncertainty blog David Spiegelhalter traces the story back to a paper in Nature Genetics. The authors of the paper investigate three gene variants that can occur in the human genome. Two of them are rare, only about 10% of the population carry them, while the third is present in 90% of the population. The authors show that the gene variants are associated to proteins called natriuretic peptides, which are linked to blood pressure (this is the main point of the paper, since such a genetic connection had never before been found). The two rarer gene variants, according to the paper, reduce the risk of high blood pressure by 15%. The phrase "18% increased risk of high blood pressure" appears nowhere in the paper. Rather it's the result of some creative accounting on the part of someone operating in the media chain which links the actual paper to the final article in The Daily Telegraph. Here's how it's done:
Say that the risk of high blood pressure for someone carrying the more common gene variant is x. Now the 15% decrease associated to the two less common variants takes this down to 0.85x. To get back to x, we need to add 0.15x, and this is exactly 17.647% of 0.85x — hence the claim of an 18% increase in risk.
The calculation is undoubtedly correct, but it puts a spin on the story. Rather than taking the common case as a base line and talking about the risk reduction associated to the less common cases, it does things the other way around. This is in stark contrast to the paper's authors own turn of phrase, which links the rarer variants to risk reduction, but says that the common variant "was not significantly associated with either systolic or diastolic blood pressure." It's a bit like noting that some people live to 110 and then complaining that most of us die prematurely. "This is a masterful piece of re-framing of the evidence," says Spiegelhalter on his blog. "Not exactly wrong, but definitely changing the story. Just like a change from 98% to 96% in a survival rate seems a lot more innocuous than a doubling of the mortality rate from 2% to 4%."

Dr. Brigitte Gomperts' research focuses on the role of adult stem cells in repair and regeneration of the lungs. The goal of her research is to understand the normal repair processes in the airway that recapitulate lung development. Studying these adult stem cells in repair and regeneration of the lungs may, therefore, also provide new insights into diseases such as asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis and bronchiolitis obliterans. The ultimate goal is to use this knowledge to develop novel targeted therapies and prevention strategies for lung diseases.

Video of a rebel commander in Syria eating the body organs of a soldier loyal to the Bashar al-Assad regime has sparked a global outcry, with human rights groups calling for an immediate end to the savagery and impunity. Western analysts are also once again debating the wisdom of U.S. and European support for the Islamist opposition, backing that has included financing since before the "revolution" began, arms shipments, training, and much more.
The footage in question had been circulating online and in news rooms for at least a week, but experts and reporters were unsure of its authenticity. Now, less than two weeks after the Obama administration announced that it may start overtly arming rebel forces in Syria, the video has been confirmed as authentic. In fact, the cannibalistic militant leader has reportedly even boasted of the crime in interviews with Western media outlets.
The horrific 30-second clip shows "Independent Omar al-Farouk Brigade" chief Khalid al-Hamad, who apparently fights under the pseudonym Abu Sakkar and has been implicated in other atrocities, standing over the dead body of a pro-regime fighter as other rebels celebrate. After cutting out an organ — apparently a lung mistaken for the heart or liver — the commander holds it up and speaks toward the camera.
"I swear to God, soldiers of Bashar, you dogs — we will eat your heart and livers! Takbir! God is Great!" al-Hamad says in the video, according to translations in media reports. "Oh my heroes of Baba Amr, you slaughter the Alawites [members of a Shia Muslim denomination to which dictator Assad belongs] and take their hearts out to eat them!" The Sunni rebel then appears to take a bite out of the organ.
After the footage went "viral" on the Internet, spreading like wildfire through social media, Time magazine reported that it had interviewed the Independent Omar al-Farouk Brigade commander responsible for what analysts have described as ritualistic cannibalism. Speaking to the American publication via Skype, al-Hamad reportedly said that despite the furor, he had no regrets over his decision to eat his enemy's organs and put the video online.

After attending the Carbon Dinos volleyball game last Tuesday evening, I realized what an emphasis this community puts on sports. This observation was not made by myself however. In fact, it was my four year old daughter that brought this fact to light for me.
Because I work odd hours and it is difficult to spend much time with my family, I often times take my daughter with me to events, particularly sporting events. She enjoys watching the games and cheering for the home team, but she also notices quite a few things which amazes me at times.
During this particular outing, she realized just how loud a gymnasium can get and how exciting a sporting event can become.
It was the final half hour of the game when the crowd erupted and the game was close. Fans cheering for Carbon were standing on their feet and yelling for the Lady Dinos. Some of the younger fans were even yelling at the North Sanpete fans and parents that were in the stands.
Because I was taking pictures, we sat on the front row on the Dinos side of the court, right next to the Hawks fans. It seemed as if we were traitors or something because of some of the looks we got from Dino fans.
Now I realize that these fans are not being unsportsmanlike, but they were simply enjoying the heat of the moment. But my daughter yelled in my ear, "Mommy, I'm scared."
I explained to her that everyone was excited and that they were just cheering for the Dinos. No one was mad, they were just having fun and enjoying the game.
After the game was over and the Dinos had defeated the Hawks, everyone started to clear the building. We waited for the crowd to die down before we left so that my small daughter would not get stepped on as we exited the school.
As we sat and watched the people go by, my daughter explained to me that she wants to play volleyball and be like those girls when she grows up.
I encouraged her and said that she could participate in any sport she wants. She then looked at me and said, "I want everyone to yell for me and have fun watching me play. I want to meet Dino too."
This made me laugh and then I began to think. She is right. It would be quite a special feeling to know that the crowd came to watch you play a sport and that they would cheer and encourage you to do your best.
As I sat pondering this fact, she looked up at me and said "Mommy, don't these people go to school here? The only time we come is when they are playing."
That's when it dawned on me, we as a community seem to put more of an emphasis on sports than we do education.
How many parents go to their childrens schools for a visit and talk to their childs teacher about their progress? I'm not saying that there are parents who don't do this, but for the most part, the only visits parents make to their childs school is for parent teacher conference meetings and to register their child for classes.
Now I know that I'm going to catch heck (it is Utah after all) over this, but it really made me wonder why sporting events draw more attention than a childs progress in school?
Don't get me wrong, if my daughter does compete in a sporting event, I will be there for every game and I will probably be the loudest fan in the stands. But if parents would stand up and cheer their children on when it comes to education, maybe we could lift the districts grade levels and have a lower drop out rate.

Dillon Gee expects to have a normal Spring Training
Dillon Gee is already one month into his off-season throwing program, and expects to have a normal Spring Training, writes Anthony McCarron of the Daily News.
Gee says his recovery between throwing sessions has been better than in years past thanks to increased oxygen and blood flow in his throwing arm.
"One of the things with my surgery we were hoping for was, by recouping some of the blood flow I had lost, that my recovery would be better and that seems to be the case so far," Gee said, according to McCarron. "I'm excited. The doctor said he was surprised I could recover every five days as it was, with the lack of blood and oxygen, so hopefully that will make it that much easier to bounce back after every start."
Gee was diagnosed with a clot in the artery in his throwing shoulder after reporting numbness in his pitching hand in early July. He had surgery during the All-Star Break to repair the artery.
Gee went 6-7 with a 4.10 ERA in 17 starts for the Mets in 2012.

A couple accused of hitting and killing a pedestrian in 2011 while driving during a drunken argument accepted a plea deal on Friday for a lesser charge of vehicular homicide.
Travis Main and Natalie Houle entered a no contest plea with punishment of 15 years of probation with conditions and will both have felony records. They faced 15 years in prison on vehicular manslaughter charges in the July 9, 2011 crash.
[Follow reporter Louis Bolden for live updates by scrolling below]
Investigators said Houle was driving and Main was in the passenger seat when he pulled the steering wheel to avoid an oncoming car on Goldenrod Road, but ended up hitting and killing 55-year-old Robert Stout, a medalist in the Special Olympics.
Stout's family was in the court room on Friday, angered over how Houle and Main aren't going to prison.
"We can't understand why they aren't going to prison," said sister Penny Stout. "This is why Orlando leads the nation in pedestrian deaths."
Bouth Houle and Main spoke to the family at the hearing, expressing their apologies. Houle said she was truly sorry and wished she had called a taxi that night. Main said he will carry the tragic event on his shoulders for the rest of his life.
Despite the apologies, Stout's family says they're shocked at the lack of jailtime.
"It's as if we're saying come to Orlando get drunk drive, kill and get just probation," Penny Stout said.

9News's Bruce Johnson reports that the incident could have big consequences for the D.C. government, which had been under court order when it comes to transporting special needs students.
Early Tuesday morning, a D.C. school bus left the Southwest terminal to pick up a four year old special needs student.
At 8:52 the bus arrived at the Walker Jones Educational Center in Northwest. But the boy was never taken off the vehicle. He had fallen asleep and wasn't discovered until 2:05 p.m., almost six hours later, still on the bus in his booster seat, shivering, back at the same terminal where the bus began.
A driver and attendant had failed to follow procedures and search their bus at the school and then a second time after parking it back at the terminal.
The child's mother was contacted. School officials say the boy was checked for hypothermia, then released at the hospital.
The case has been turned over to the D.C. attorney general for further investigation.

HEUVELTON - Next week guests will be invited to tour the new addition at Pickens General Store.
Reaching roughly 20 feet into the back parking lot and towering three-stories tall, the new addition makes the building truly handicap accessible for the first time without sacrificing the historical integrity of the building, built in 1858.
Construction on the project started in the spring and today the structure is nearing completion – workers are putting the finishing touches on the interior and inspections are underway.
Inside the decidedly modern but folksy addition, guests will see a bright lobby where the original stone working of the building can still be seen.
The addition includes bathrooms on all three floors, fire stairs and an elevator.
While the buildings historic opera house, located on the third floor, is still closed to the public pending future renovation projects, the elevator will take guests to the second floor, which is used year-round as a community space, concert venue and museum.
I think we were all really afraid of it looking like an addition, Betsy C. Hebert, manager of the Pickens General Store online shop, said.
But the addition, painted Adirondack green, appears as if it was always part of the building.
Ms. Hebert pointed out a wooden beam at the top of the addition that juts out from the wall that was formerly part of the buildings exterior elevator system. That example is just one of the ways the addition was tailored to complement Pickens General Store rather than detract from its historical image.
Beyond the entry way, which was two sets of glass doors, the new section of the building has been fitted with a full loading dock, which will help ease the process of stocking the building, Ms. Hebert said.
Community members and Pickens General Store enthusiasts are invited to join the additions Grand Opening celebration.
The evening will begin at 7 p.m. Friday with music by Don Woodcock and stories by Bill Smith. Tours of the new facility will be given as well and refreshments will be available.

The Origins of Camera Phones
Once an oddball novelty, camera cell phones are the latest innovation in cell phone wizardry. Newer and better features introduced everyday, such as better picture resolutions and larger memory cards, further transform the cell phone into a true multimedia device.
Camera phones have been around for almost a decade - do you remember when and who launched the first one?
The First Camera Cell Phones
The first complete camera cell phone was built by Phillipe Kahn in 1997, jerry-rigging a cell phone with a digital camera. The first cell phone picture was taken by Kahn on June 11 that year, from the maternity ward where his first child was born.
The first camera cell phone introduced commercially was the J-SH04 in Japan by J-Phone (now called SoftBank Mobile) and the Sharp Corporation in November 2000. Priced at $500 US, the J-SH04 had a 110 000 pixel resolution (0.1 megapixels), a color LCD screen, one-touch Internet access and a speaker phone.
The first cameraphones in North America were launched by Sprint in 2002 and manufactured by Sanyo. Their success was immediate, and from there spread worldwide.
Major manufacturers of camera cell phones today include Nokia, Samsung, Motorola, Sony Ericsson, and LG Mobile.
The Future of Camera Phones
Because camera cell phones are susceptible to blurry images due to unwanted hand motion or longer exposure times, a lot of the development has focused on improving the image quality.
Improvements in the image sensors will enhance the picture quality without adding more megapixels, which affects the size of the phone and requires greater memory. Image quality standardized testing and rating systems are also being developed to help consumers make better comparisons between phones.
Cell phone manufacturers have started adding video capabilities to the their phones. Greater access to high-speed networks has made transmitting moving pictures by email or over the Intenet possible.
Camera phones currently outsell digital cameras by almost 4 to 1. And by early 2009, analysts predict more than 1 billion will have been shipped worldwide. This is more than the total number of both conventional and digital cameras shipped in the entire history of photography.

LAX Series Storage Platform Bed without Headboard
by Mash Studios
This queen or king size storage bed from Mash Studios offers 8 large rolling drawers that provide much needed storage space for your bedroom. Constructed of solid wood the LAX Storage Platform Bed is the perfect piece for lofts or apartments where storage is a premium; the 8 rolling drawers could easily take the place of a small dresser, giving you more room and freedom. This solid wood bed from Mash Studios works great on its own, but you can always combine it with the Queen Size Headboard or King Size Headboard for a more complete look. The two pieces are also sold as a set here.
The LAX Series Storage Platform Bed features:
- queen: storage platform 91" L x 72" W x 9" H
- king: storage platform 93" L x 84" W x 9.5" H
- 8 rolling drawers, each 22" wide
- solid wood construction with a natural oil finish
- can be paired with the Queen and King Size Headboard, sold separately
Materials & Measurements
Bed platform is made of solid English Walnut construction.
queen: storage platform 91" L x 72" W x 9" H
king: storage platform 93" L x 84" W x 9.5" H
Cleaning and Care
For simple cleaning, use a damp cloth with a mild detergent. Over time, you may want to refinish the surface with a refinishing agent to regain its original luster. For this we recommend Scott's Liquid Gold. Pour a small amount onto a rag and wipe the entire surface until you have an even finish. Do not pour the cleaner directly onto the furniture as this can result in an uneven coat or discolor the wood.
If your furniture develops stains like a watermark from a glass, use 220 grit sandpaper and lightly sand the wood until the stain dissapears. For best results, follow this with a treatment of Linseed Oil to refinish the surface to its original quality.
Try to keep the piece out of direct sunlight if possible. It is wood's natural property to darken over time when exposed to sunlight, so if an object is left on your LAX furniture and left in the sun for a long time, the covered surface will appear lighter once the object is moved. This light spot will take time to blend back into the surrounding area and may never be fully as dark. Also, don't put hot stuff like pots and pans directly on the wood.
Environmental Information
The materials that go into every LAX Series piece are meticulously selected for their quality and positive environmental impact. Each piece of furniture is made of solid English Walnut, free of formaldehyde glue and other toxins. By using an engineered wood, the LAX Series is able to maximize the yield from each tree and virtually eliminate waste. All of the pieces are sealed with a natural oil finish made from linseed oil that is VOC-free and solvent free.

JOHN TAVARES AT 20With family support, the center stays humble
12:45 pm: Today, on his 20th birthday, John Tavares and coach Scott Gordon shared a laugh on the ice about the difference between left and right after the franchise center missed an assignment.
"We were working on the forecheck," said Tavares, born in Ontario on Sept. 20, 1990. "I was supposed to lock the left side and twice I locked the right. We had a laugh about it."
Tavares had every right to smile about the mishap because, after all the pressure he faced in his teenage years – including his selection first overall by the Islanders in last year's draft – he has remained humble with his teammates and the coaching staff, with fans and in the media.
On the occasion of his 20th birthday, Tavares was asked to list some of the people who have helped him keep both feet on the ground with so many great expectations on him.
"My parents have been a big influence," said Tavares after the Islanders worked out at the Nassau Veterans Memorial Coliseum for the first time this season. "They are always there for support. My Uncle John [Tavares, a professional lacrosse legend in Canada], my agent (Pat Brisson).
"The biggest thing is the game. It's not easy to be great at this level. You can't let the tough times get to you, and you can't let the good stuff go to your head."
Tavares looked back at this time last season, when he took the ice for the first time with veterans like Doug Weight and Dwayne Roloson – "guys I've watched for a long time" – and was nervous.
"I still have the same kinds of feelings," said the second-year center. "But this year, I know how to handle them. It's such a privilege to play the game with these guys. The key is to not let things go to your head."
Between his family, his support staff and friends made in one year with the Islanders, the birthday boy stays grounded.

JERUSALEM (MarketWatch) -- Two years after the Arab masses took to the streets, mayhem's end is nowhere in sight.
In Cairo, the Arab world's heartbeat, Egypt's first freely elected government relegated the economy to the back burner to pursue a politics of divisiveness.
President Mohammed Morsi's attempt in November to impose himself on the judiciary resulted in renewed street violence, and the subsequent referendum over a new constitution was shunned by two-thirds of the electorate. Egyptians' effort to vote with their feet indicated that the government had spent much of its hard-earned political capital sooner than expected -- and for the wrong cause.
As argued here last year, the Islamists are in a social position to address Egypt's pressing economic needs because they can deliver the poor masses, who will bear the brunt of the draconian measures their economy demands.
Alas, in his first six months in office Morsi made no meaningful economic move, focusing instead on expanding his authority.
The markets, meanwhile, given reason to suspect that the economy was being neglected, responded with alarm. The pound, which on the eve of Morsi's clash with the judiciary traded at 6.1 to the dollar, has since dropped to 6.39, as opposed to 5.8 in the last days of the Mubarak era. Meanwhile, S&P downgraded the nation's long-term credit rating to B-, the level of Greece.
The government's lack of economic drive is evident in a more than 50% decline in foreign-currency reserves since the revolution, and in the central bank's announcement last month that the reserves have dwindled to $15 billion, the minimum necessary to purchase the country's essential imports. Talks with the International Monetary Fund about a long-awaited $4.8 billion loan have been suspended after the government backed off a plan to raise taxes.
Al-Jazeera and the American market
Al-Jazeera is making a strong push into the American market with its purchase of Current TV. John Owen, journalism professor at City University of London, tells the WSJ's Deborah Kan why it could be difficult for the Qatar-owned news network to break into the U.S. market. Photo: Getty Images.
Ultimately, Morsi's economic vision and delivery will be judged on two fronts: the military industries and the subsidies regime.
The military's ownership of an elaborate network of factories is a famous anachronism that burdens the economy and distracts the military. But taking over and privatizing the military industries would mean clashing with the generals, a decision Morsi cannot make hastily. That's because he needs the army in case unrest resumes, for instance in the wake of next month's parliamentary elections.
That is also why Morsi is not likely to abolish the country's unaffordable subsidy regime, which inserts the government into the price of every bread loaf, sugar pack and cooking-oil bottle. While cutting subsidies is what the economy demands, leaving the prices of basic goods to the markets' devices would likely send into the streets the very masses that are the president's power base.
The good news since the presidential election has been that the Muslim Brotherhood has left the tourism industry alone. That's despite the clerics' unconcealed displeasure with Red Sea beaches where, halfway between Cairo and Mecca, foreign women bathe while dressed as if they were in St. Tropez.
Similarly, revenues from the Suez Canal also continue streaming, though the global economic crisis has reduced maritime traffic worldwide.
In sum, half a year after Morsi was elected, Egypt's salvation remains elusive, as he has so far chosen to focus on politics and procrastinate on economics.
If Syria breaks up
Four hundred miles northeast of Cairo, Bashar Assad would give anything to trade places with Mohammed Morsi. Receiving daily reports about more battles, casualties and lost turf, he doubtfully has had much time to think about the food shortages, work stoppages and disrupted air traffic throughout his country, or about the Syrian pound's plunge to 70 per dollar from 47 since the civil war started in March 2011.

Comments about LEKI Poles Corklite AERGON Poles:
My buddy got me using hiking poles a few years back. I always gave him a lil' hell for it, but once he talked me into it, I took back what I said and ate my pride. Poles just save your legs and back. My first set was a hand me down pair and I finally decided to get my own. So I got these. The side locks are a little bit different than what I'm used to, and was afraid that they'd catch or collapse but have not had any problems. They just work.

The son becomes the sensei
When you're the son of cycling royalty, and retire with a race resume like Axel Merckx's, you could be forgiven for resting on your laurels. But that's not Axel's style. Instead, he's giving back to the sport he loves as Directeur sportif for Bontrager Pro Cycling. A second generation of Merckx mentorship, building the next generation of champions.

Bright cream orange
I was a little scared to pay $15 for a tinted lipglass because a lot of people complain that these are sticky. The first lipglass I bought was Nymphette and I was SO happy with it!! It wasn't nearly as sticky as everyone says or whatever I was anticipating. Sure, it's a thick formula that will grab your wind-blown hair but that's what gives the lipglass staying power. I love this product because a lipgloss with real staying power is hard to find. The product is a little more sheer than I normally like but that's fine because it's called "tinted" so I know they are not marketed to be extremely pigmented. Also, I like to wear this over a lipstick anyways. When I wear Rimmel Lasting Finish lipstick in Airy Fairy and then top it with MAC Nymphette, I get the most beautiful glossy pink finish. Both of these lip products are a warm pink with gold shimmer so they are the perfect duo. Aahhhhhhh I'm so in love! :3
This was the first ever Lipglass shade I bought, when I was 17 years old and can safely say that since then I have always had one in my collection. It is quite a pale pink which I like for the day time and work, but I also use it over lipstick, as my lips are quite dry. It has quite a pearlescent finish to it and as with all Lipglass glosses it stays on for ages and smells DELICIOUS!!
They are not soo shiny but they stay on all day ! I love Florabundance it is soo sweet and pink looking . I love to use it with angle lipstick ! I agree with NATALIE B. They are not too sticky or tacky in fact for me they are not sticky at all .
Give maxium coverage which is amazing as most lipglosses don't give colour pay of but the MAC ones i own do. I don't own many i have floradunce, c-thru and russian red and i use them alot of the time... i'm looking into buying pink poodle to which is a bright pink! x
Mac's Lipglass are by far one of my favorite lip glosses. I like them because they arent too sticky or tacky feeling and they last a considerable amount of time. They also offer the perfect amount of shine. I always carry two in my purse, my go-to lip gloss for sure!
So....there was so much hype on this MAC lipglass, that I decided to go out and purchase one. Not impressed. It's average at best. I don't hate it, but I don't love it either. Here's why:
not sticky
good color payoff
tidy packaging
minimum staying power
awful odor
does not live up to the term "lipglass" as in shiny gloss, it's glossy but not enough for a name like that
weird taste
I will not repurchase.
I love this product! My aunt gave it to me as a gift when she first heard me talking about how I wanted to start a beauty channel for YouTube. The thing that really caught me with this lipglass was the Cupcake like smell, which I found out is the smell of pretty much all MAC lipglasses. The color is gorgeous too. It is an amazing buy!
I love these! I way prefer lip glosses over a matte dry-feeling lipstick, and this offers the colour pigment of a lipstick and that's rare to find! The stickiness is forgivable, I like that it has some stick, not slippery and watery. I found Revlon Super Lustrous's glosses to be very similar though, so for the price difference I'll probably go to Revlon instead. Still great product though!
These lip glosses have AMAZING pigmentation. They are bold and pretty true to what you see in the container. I'm more of a lip stick girl but for glosses these are great. Beware though because they are super thick and kind of sticky...Ladies don't drive with the windows down with this stuff on because the product will end up in your hair! Because it is thick it does last longer than other formulas but be prepared for your lips to be sticky. I recommend this more for a running errands type of day when you want color and/or a punch of color but don't want to do a full lip or use lip stick. Definitely not suitable for kissing! And really test the colors out before buying, that's why there are samples out! I say this because some have more color to them than they look like they do ( I've tried a few that looked stunning in the tube but when I put it on it was just way to much or way to bright for my liking), whereas others are a few shades lighter than what you see. For example, when I chose pink poodle it was probably the 5th or 6th shade a tried on and in the tube it looks outrageous so that's why I was hesitant, but on my lips it was gorgeous. Also, when I took it up to the counter the MAC artist who rang me up said "wow that color is amazing on you i love it which one is it" and i told her and she said "it looks awesome on you but I've tried it and It doesn't look like that on me!" so just know that obviously every color is not for every one.

Role of Parenting Skills and Parenting Style in Pediatric Weight Loss Programs

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the role of different parenting skills and parenting styles in the success of children enrolled in a family-based behavioral weight control program and to compare these skills and styles to those used by families with normal weight children.
Pediatric Obesity
Behavioral: Family-based behavioral weight control intervention
|Study Type:
|Study Design:
|Intervention Model: Single Group Assignment
Masking: Open Label
Primary Purpose: Treatment
|Official Title:
|Role of Parenting Skills, Style and Family Functioning in Pediatric Weight Loss
- Change in parenting skills and parenting style [ Time Frame: 0 and 6 months ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
- Change in child BMI z-score [ Time Frame: 0 and 6 months ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
|Study Start Date:
|June 2009
|Study Completion Date:
|May 2012
|Primary Completion Date:
|May 2012 (Final data collection date for primary outcome measure)
|Assigned Interventions
Family-based weight control
Group-based family therapy for weight loss in children age 8-12 years.
Behavioral: Family-based behavioral weight control intervention
Standard behavioral weight control program for children ages 8-12 years old and their parents in a family-based intervention.
Detailed Description:
Pediatric overweight has nearly tripled in the past several decades and while family-based behavioral weight control programs are the mainstay of treatment, there is considerable variability in their outcomes. Parents play an important role in the success of their children, particularly by implementing new behavioral skills. However recent evidence has also suggested that parenting style, or the way a parent interacts with their child and provides emotional support and discipline, may be another key element in pediatric weight control. Our goal is to evaluate the role of specific parenting (behavioral) skills and parenting style in the success of children enrolled in a standard family-based behavioral weight control intervention. Our goal is to examine whether specific parenting (behavioral) skills and parenting style change during the intervention and whether or not this change is related to changes in the child's BMI z-score.
|Ages Eligible for Study:
|8 Years to 12 Years
|Genders Eligible for Study:
|Accepts Healthy Volunteers:
Inclusion Criteria:
- children between and including the ages of 8-12 years old
- child BMI >= 85th percentile
- parent willing to attend all treatment meetings
- parent and child must be able to speak, read, and understand English
Exclusion Criteria:
- a family member who is participating in another weight loss program
- the child has any serious medical problem that would limit his/her participation in the study, for example, gastrointestinal diseases, cardiac disease, immune compromised state, chronic steroid use or other medication that impacts weight, developmental delays.
- child with serious food allergies that would compromise adherence to dietary recommendations
- any family member has a major psychiatric disease or organic brain syndrome
- family is going to move outside the metropolitan area within the time frame of the study

Appalcart reported record ridership for the month of March. Eighty-Seven-Thousand-Six-Hundred-and-sixty-five passengers rode Appalcart last month in fifty-five-thousand miles of service.That's a 7 percent increase in ridership from March of last year. The increase is due in part to this year's addition of the Purple route...which boots the transit authorities hours of operation by eleven percent.

ORONO, Maine (NEWS CENTER)-- While lawmakers debate budget cuts, residents are gathering to discuss how they can change the economy for the better. The Maine Alliance for the Common Good held a teach-in at the University of Maine Sunday. Attendees heard about alternatives to budget cuts and the problems they think need to be addressed. The message was simple, the road to changing our economy starts with the citizens.
Keynote speaker Doctor Margaret Flowers with It's Our Economy said, "Society tries to disempower people and tell them they cant create change and it's exactly the opposite. It's not about electing people to make change it's about we are the ones that could make that happen."
Local organizations and activists met to share what they feel are the state's biggest issues and how they can band together and make a change.
Kevin Zeese with It's Our Economy said, "Change comes from the people. It doesn't come from Washington...People can make a difference. I mean throughout history you can see examples of a person or a few people making a difference. But there's no question, at your community level you can bring people together and solve problems."
During his speech, Zeese urged attendees to take the time to understand the issues and not be afraid to speak up for what they believe in.
Flowers agreed, "It's something creative and something positive that people can do. Come together in their communities, identify what their resources are, what their problems are, and start working together to fix them."
Attendees were able to participate in workshops held by local organizations and activists--and get more information on how to get involved.

Forty years ago, the Department of Defense discovered and hid from the public an alien who came to warn us of impending doom - an asteroid belt of enormous proportions heading on a direct path towards Earth. Since then, the world has been protected by a top secret government organization known as the Asteroid Management Initiative (AMI), whose mission is to shoot down the daily myriad of Earth-ending asteroids from a secret underground control center.
Today AMI is a critical element in the DoD's struggle to keep the Earth safe - its heroes are the "Rock Jocks", a group of misfits with exceptional satellite piloting skills. Our story begins during a night shift, where the Rock Jocks have arrived to fend off the asteroids, yet spend ost of the evening fighting off boredom, themselves, and a meddling government bureaucrat hell-bent on cutting their budget.

Her Smoke Rose Up Forever
I am looking forward to reading this biography of James Tiptree, Jr./Alice Sheldon.
The story is familiar enough, and Phillips takes it as true, which it almost certainly is (to a point). Alli and Ting are shopping in town. Alli needs a pseudonym for the stories she's about to put in the mail. She sees a jar of Tiptree Jam, and says "James Tiptree." Ting says "Junior." So far so good. Good joke: Except that nothing in Alli's life was ever just a joke. She is more retentive of the meaning and shape of every aspect of her life than anyone else I have ever met, in life or print (Severian excepted, maybe).
