A few school districts received last-minute approval for their teacher evaluation plans Thursday night, but six missed the deadline, forfeiting a scheduled state aid increase.
New York City, Fallsburg in Sullivan County and Pine Plains in Dutchess County never submitted plans for review.
Hamburg in Erie County submitted a plan, but it was not agreed upon by local unions, so it was not eligible for approval. Superintendent Steve Achramovitch says these were complex negotiations that just broke off and he will now try to go back and work with the teachers' union to get an agreement as required.
Hamburg will lose about $450,000 in state education funding come March. Achramovitch says he is not calling for any layoffs of teachers or other district personnel and will try not to cut any programs impacting students. He feels they will be able to use reserve funds to fill the gap but may have to transfer some funding as the budget process goes forward. He will also try to lobby state education officials to restore the money but a spokesman for the State Education Department in Albany says the money will not be restored.

And two districts-Harrison, in Westchester County and Oysterponds in Suffolk County-submitted plans but didn't make necessary revisions in time.
Harrison submitted its plan on deadline day, but the state Education Department determined revisions were necessary.
Superintendent Louis Wool said Thursday the plan was "not everything we wanted it to be." He thought it matched the quality of other districts' approved plans, though.
"Our challenge was-in this very constricted time frame with really poor guidance from the state Education Department and really awful conditions to do this kind of good work-to put in a better system than the one that we had," Wool said.
Beacon schools in Dutchess County received approval from the state in the final hours before the deadline.
"We knew it would be approved," Interim Superintendent Harvey Hilburgh said Thursday after getting a verbal commitment from the state Education Department that the plan was satisfactory.
He said they submitted originally in July, feeling confident that the plan was sound.
"The state might have had different expectations about the language than we did, but I think we ironed it out," he said.
Negotiations between the New York City Department of Education and the local union, the United Federation of Teachers, broke down Wednesday. Mayor Michael Bloomberg and the union's president, Michael Mulgrew, blamed each other for missing the deadline, which amounted to a loss of $250 million in state aid.
"The loss of state aid is devastating. But just as devastating is the failure to implement an evaluation plan to give educators the feedback they need to improve their practice and help their students learn and succeed," state Board of Regents Chancellor Merryl Tisch said in a statement at 12:05 a.m. Friday. "Unfortunately, the adults couldn't or wouldn't come together for the sake of New York's 1.1 million school children."
Districts without an approved plan are still required by law to reach an agreement.

Gartner positions SAS as a Leader in the Magic Quadrant for Operational Risk Management.
Risk management is about more than balancing risk and reward. And it goes beyond regulatory compliance. It's about embedding risk management into everyday processes at all levels of the enterprise to truly drive business evolution.
Regulatory Capital Management
With regulatory requirements in perpetual state of flux, financial institutions are constantly trying to adapt. It's sort of like Darwinism of the financial world, as failure to comply can threaten a bank's very survival – and not just because of the regulatory consequences of noncompliance. That's because the processes and oversight necessary to meet new regulatory obligations – e.g., for Basel II and Basel III, BCBS 239, BCBS 248, Solvency II – can also help you gain a competitive advantage. If you get it right. And we can help. Our solutions provide an end-to-end framework for addressing and reporting on these regulations. Predefined stress-testing methodologies. Preconfigured reporting capabilities. So you can meet regulatory compliance mandates. Avoid penalties. And safeguard profits.
Learn about our regulatory capital management solution
- Comply with Basel II and Basel III, and accommodate varying interpretations of the guidelines across multiple jurisdictions.
- Demonstrate how economic cycles – especially downturns – will affect risk-based capital requirements across multiple future time horizons throughout the life of each exposure.
- Easily adapt to changes in regulatory requirements to ensure compliance over the long haul.
- Seamlessly integrate your credit scoring/internal rating system with credit portfolio risk assessment processes, including user-defined pricing and valuation models.
- Get up and running quickly with minimal project risk using predefined regulatory environments and sample regulatory reports.
Learn about our regulatory capital management solution
- Automated data management. A self-documenting risk data infrastructure includes a predefined risk data repository specifically designed for risk analysis and reporting. You can efficiently manage vast quantities of data from virtually any source – loan capture, trading, collateral management and loan decision systems, risk factor agencies, spreadsheets and more.
- A full range of regulatory reporting capabilities. A Web-based reporting interface lets you easily view all input and configuration data, perform ad hoc analyses, create credit risk reports and interact with OLAP reports. A customizable report validation workflow efficiently routes regulatory submissions through internal approval processes.
- Flexible, powerful risk calculations. A standardized regulatory capital calculation workflow facilitates compliance. Calculations are both configurable and extensible to support requirements today and in the future as regulations change.
- Enhanced risk computing and aggregation. A powerful risk engine ensures consistency across all portfolios and integrates regulatory analysis capabilities with scenario analysis, stress testing and an optimized risk mitigation algorithm.
Learn about our regulatory capital management solution
Credit Risk
In addition to increasing the compliance requirements banks already face, the new Basel III regulations will impose higher capital costs for credit risk. As banks attempt to offset these costs, collateral will start to play a much bigger role in credit risk management. We can help you manage credit risk in a way that enables you to not only meet regulatory requirements, but also improve your overall performance. How? By merging your collateral management and credit risk management processes through a closer alignment of credit risk and performance management practices.
- Reduce your credit risk capital requirements through the judicious use of collateral and more efficient capital allocations, while complying with increasingly complex regulations.
- Make smarter lending decisions by assessing credit risk exposure at the time of origination.
- More effectively monitor your loan portfolios by calculating and stress testing portfolio exposures, taking into account the effect of netting, collateral and margining, as well as credit derivatives books.
- Track and aggregate portfolio performance across multiple dimensions – and in real time.
- Easily manage a large number of new calculations, higher data requirements and shorter time horizons.
- Optimize your credit portfolio with respect to assets held, collateral needed or both.
- Stress testing. Calculate and stress test credit exposures, taking into account the effect of netting, collateral and margining, as well as credit derivatives books.
- Simulation. Perform advanced simulations of potential future exposures.
- Risk calculations. Calculate portfolio credit risk measures and counterparty exposures across all on- and off-balance-sheet activities. Use advanced portfolio credit risk models, such as actuarial models and reduced form stochastic transition matrix models.
- Optimization. Optimize the credit portfolio using risk/return measures. And optimize collateral to support mitigation, taking into consideration prior claims, as well as currency and maturity mismatch.
- Model management. Shorten the model development and deployment lifecycle. And frequently monitor model performance on an ongoing basis.
Risk Decision Making
How easy is it for you to get consolidated risk results across asset classes, portfolios and trading desks? Does the word "daunting" spring to mind? Our risk solutions perform risk calculations faster than any other solution, so you can get results in minutes, not days. That means you can better understand the overall risk position and capital adequacy of the firm. Make more strategic, data-driven risk decisions. Adopt more efficient risk processes. Reduce the probability of losses. And increase profitability.
- Perform accurate risk aggregations in near-real time (intraday) across multiple portfolios, asset classes, pricing libraries and systems. Meet a broad range of regulatory and reporting requirements, including BCBS 239.
- Update actual firmwide risk and exposure as often as needed. Respond to changing market conditions, and make timely decisions on portfolio strategies.
- Calculate risk measures using a variety of models that deal with millions of marketable securities, as well as market indices, financial assets and obligations.
- Quickly identify optimal actions and make the best decisions. Conduct rapid, on-demand scenario analyses to uncover the best solutions to your liquidity and capital needs at the speed of the market.
- Get portfolio views that are always up-to-date. The system accommodates incremental arrival times for data relating to portions of the portfolio.
- Real-time risk aggregation. Patent-pending techniques dramatically accelerate processing time for even the most complex risk calculations, so you get significant performance gains.
- What-if analysis. Produce what-if scenarios based on the most complex portfolios, positions and instruments across multiple time horizons. Change parameters and rerun scenarios on demand. And examine outcomes relative to potential capital gains/losses, changes in yield or cost of funds.
- Intraday recalculation of risk and exposure. Update actual firmwide risk and exposure as often as needed. Respond to changing market conditions, and make timely decisions on portfolio strategies.
- A flexible, open environment. Fit your firm's future requirements as they evolve. Configure new instruments. Develop new pricing functions. Construct more complex scenarios. And produce custom reports.
Stress Testing
Memories of the financial crisis are still fresh in the minds of many as firms grapple with today's exploding data volumes, greater problem complexity, mounting performance expectations, shrinking decision windows and ever-changing regulatory requirements. We can help you assess firmwide exposures with speed and precision across all risk types – market, credit and liquidity – intraday or in near-real time. So you can get fast, precise answers to questions about current exposures. Make timely, well-informed decisions – even in highly volatile and stressed markets. And better protect your firm's capital, liquidity and viability.
- Get a consolidated view of your firm's risk exposures. Centralized stress testing and an integrated platform let you rapidly aggregate portfolio data and internal and external stress-testing factors, as well as create a standardized set of stress scenarios.
- React to market shocks faster and with greater precision. Perform intraday, large-scale simulations and ad hoc stress tests based on all available data – not just a sample.
- Value large, complex portfolios and asset classes in minutes rather than hours or days. And analyze the effects of changes in cost and liquidity using millions of rows of asset data and thousands of risk and market factors.
- An end-to-end framework. Integrate data, scenarios, pricing models, exposure calculations and reporting from across the organization. No one else provides an end-to-end technology framework for managing all aspects of stress testing.
- In-memory processing. The latest speed advances in multicore CPUs and our patent-pending software architecture and algorithms greatly speed calculation time for pricing functions, which are directly enabled on the grid. Results are held in-memory and are available for immediate analysis.
- A single stress-testing environment. Apply a common set of stress scenarios and factors to aggregations of both the bank book and trading book. Then apply advanced analytics to stress the firmwide portfolio and perform exposure and capital calculations.
Managing liquidity risk is more than a compliance obligation. In fact, it can bring great business and competitive benefits. Find out what critical role finance, IT and risk functions play in managing and mitigating liquidity risk.

By Kevin R. Betts
When the U.S. SEAL team raided Osama bin Laden's compound in Pakistan earlier this month, they did so without any approval from Pakistani officials. They covertly flew helicopters into the region, raided the compound in a fierce firefight, and killed bin Laden and several others. The secretive nature of this raid follows from years of American distrust toward Pakistan, an ostensible ally in the fight against terrorism. Recent events have merely added fuel to the fire. Given that the U.S. was able to locate bin Laden from thousands of miles away, Americans are now asking why Pakistani military and intelligence agencies couldn't do the same within their own country. Bin Laden resided in an elaborate compound only 80 miles from the Pakistani capital of Islamabad, and just 800 yards from a major military academy. Was Pakistan truly unaware of bin Laden's whereabouts, or were they complicit in maintaining his cover?
The nature of this question poses an international Prisoner's Dilemma. Emerging from game theory, the Prisoner's Dilemma demonstrates why two parties might not cooperate even if it is in both of their best interests to do so. Generally, such situations require that each party choose between cooperating and defecting with the interests of an adversary. In the present scenario, Pakistan can choose to cooperate with the fight against terrorism or not. Salman Rushdie from Newsweek points out that "Pakistan is alarmed by the rising Indian influence in Afghanistan, and fears that an Afghanistan cleansed of the Taliban would be an Indian client state, thus sandwiching Pakistan between two hostile countries." However, Pakistan also receives billions of military and intelligence boosting dollars from the United States. Thus, it may be in Pakistan's interests to ignore certain terrorist activities (defect) while simultaneously appearing bound to U.S. interests (cooperate).
Defecting can grant the most valued outcome in a Prisoner's Dilemma because it does not require compromise with the adversary's demands, but this outcome is realized only if the other party chooses to cooperate at the same time. For instance, Pakistan could ignore (or support) terrorist activities while still accepting U.S. funds. If both parties choose to defect, the least valued outcome will result. In this scenario, Pakistan loses U.S. funding and the U.S. loses an ally in the fight against terrorism. Mutual cooperation grants each party a moderately valued but mutually beneficial outcome. Given that the United States has cooperated with Pakistan by providing monetary assistance, it is hoped that they will cooperate as well by assisting in the fight against terrorism.
Given this international Prisoner's Dilemma, the U.S. must now make judgments about whether Pakistan has cooperated or defected. Many have argued that Pakistan has long been defecting, and that their apparent lack of knowledge about Bin Laden's whereabouts reveals that this defection continues. Others argue that despite select intelligence failures, Pakistan remains an important ally to the U.S. in a region laden by terrorist threats. Whether the U.S. perceives Pakistan as having cooperated or defected will likely influence their decision about whether they should cooperate or defect themselves. What do you think? Should the U.S. continue to consider Pakistan an ally, or do recent events require a change in perspective?

|Officials from the US Department of Energy recommend leaving the thermostat at 68 degrees for optimal energy and cost savings this winter.
Winterizing homes, automobiles and recreational vehicles before temperatures drop can save Carbon County residents money.
"While most insurance companies will cover the cost of broken water lines in your RV, it is better to do a little preventative maintenance rather than filing a claim," pointed out local Farm Bureau agent Elaine Wood.
According to crossroadsrv.com, people should not leave any water in recreational vehicle storage tanks when the temperatures may dip below 32 degrees Fahrenheit.
To store and protect recreational vehicles from damages associated with winter weather conditions, residents should:
Make sure to park the RV on a level surface.
Make sure to winterize the chassis and generator as outlined in the owner's manual.
Close all drapes and curtains and protect curtains from sun fading by placing foil paper between the windows and the screen.
Make sure all windows, doors and vents are closed securely.
People should cover exterior vents on appliances to prevent moisture and insects from entering recreational vehicles during storage.
Check the interior of the RV periodically while in storage to make sure leaks have not developed or condensation formed that can cause damage to interior components.
Condensation can most readily be observed as moisture accumulation on windows and mirrors.
To reduce condensation, people should air the RV out occasionally during storage.
Be sure that the battery has the proper electrolyte level and that it is fully charged.
A discharged battery will freeze and crack its case, ruining the battery.
In storage, a battery will gradually lose charge within a 30 to 45 day period even when disconnected.
The site recommended that batteries be checked at least monthly under the circumstances that they will be left in freezing conditions.
The primary concern when winterizing an RV is to make sure the water storage systems are protected against damage caused by freezing.
Residents should start by draining the waste water tanks and then turn off the water pump switch.
Next, all faucets should be opened and the water heater should be drained.
People should also open low point drains in the water lines. The fresh water tank and all low points should be drained. The site recommends finishing by filling the fresh water tank with winterizing solution and pumping it through the system.
"Winterizing your home and vehicle can also be a very effective way to eliminate claims and save money," noted Wood.
According to the United States Department of Energy, the easiest way to reduce consumption in the home is to lower the thermostat. DOE indicates that a daytime setting of 66 to 68 degrees is optimal for energy and cost savings. For every degree the thermostat is lowered, energy bills can be decreased by 5 percent.
However, energy officials caution that lowering the thermostat in a drafty house will do do very little or absolutely no good.
The federal energy department recommends that Carbon County residents conduct a do-it-yourself efficiency audit on homes, armed with a caulking gun and weather stripping.
According to the energy department, a water heater can also represent a major source of lost dollars.
The federal agency recommends wrapping the heater in an insulation blanket and keeping the water temperature thermostat set at 120 degrees Fahrenheit.
For more permanent solutions, DOE indicates that there are several tax credits available to Carbon County residents who purchase energy efficient appliances and windows.
The credit is designed to make longterm energy conservation more cost efficient to consumers nationwide.
Winterizing automobiles or pickup trucks is something different, as the motor vehicles are taken out and used in the harshest of cold weather conditions, as reported by the National Highway Safety Administration.
More than cost saving suggestions, the administration stressed making vehicles as safe as possible during the winter months.
Federal traffic officials recommend stocking the trunk or storage cabin with blankets, gloves, scarves, chemical hand warmers and items people can use to keep warm in case of a break down in a remote area.
Non-perishable food items are also recommended for winter travelers.
Inspecting the tread on tires and considering the purchase of wheels with a winter tread pattern is also a helpful safety standard, according to NHSA.
A winter checklist provided by the traffic administration emphasizes the importance of:
Carrying a shovel and ice melting agent.
Plugging in ones car to keep the engine block warm.
Checking all vehicle fluids on a regular basis.
Cold weather has a damaging effect on many liquid.
Weighing down the backend of a rear wheel drive vehicle.
As a final winter warning, the federal traffic safety administration cautions local motorists that excessive speed accounts for a majority of winter accidents.
According to the federal agency's website ,matching driving speed with the conditions is vital to safe winter driving.

It Doesn't Take Much These Days
Due to Ever's waltz with a stomach flu and Erin's littleness I haven't been out much lately. This morning when the baby fell back asleep in Chup's bouncing arms I took The Chief and Ever for a walk. We found a robotic snowman dressed in dirty snow. Someone had shoved a plastic Spiderman guy inside the snowman's chest, just about where his icy heart would go. The Chief couldn't get over it.
"Why would someone put a Spiderman guy in the snowman's heart?" he asked me over and over.
I was highly amused by this situation and I giggled about it all the way home.
When I tried to explain it to Chup,
"...a Spiderman guy stuffed right into the snowman's chest! Hah! His legs just dangling out!"
he looked at me like I was done. Coo Koo. Loco. Loopy.
He's been looking at me a lot like that lately.
On Sunday we were talking at the dinner table about a lively family in our neighborhood, the Whipples (five boys!) when I remembered an interesting fact about Sister Whipple,
"She's from St. Louis, you know," referring to the fact that my parents live there as church missionaries.
"I didn't know,"said Chup "and so where did she meet the Whipplesnapper?"
Then he sorta did a "ha!" like, that was pretty good.
This struck me as unbelievably funny. I started a chuckle which forced its way into a hearty laugh which propelled its way up into howling until I was shrieking. Shrieking and pounding the table with my fists. Then I started to lose lung capacity which brought on choking until I couldn't breathe. When I caught my breath I was in such comical hysterics I was crying. (Luckily I was sitting down or bladder would've caved to this psychosomatic reaction I was having.) The kids thought I was dying. I thought I was dying. But Chup just looked at me like I was nuts.
After about five minutes of me acting like a rabid chimpanzee I calmed down, though any time I merely thought of Chup's face slightly proud at his silly joke ("ha!") I'd blurt out chortling. My stomach hurt like I had done a thousand ab crunchers. It's not just a saying--I had nearly laughed my guts out.
I should get out more.

Hahaha I love laughs like that!
I'm also cracking up about the robotic snowman with Spiderman legs dangling out. Maybe Spiderman gave his life to save the world from the robot snowman by propelling his head into the snowman's heart? I'm thinking now we have an idea for a new Spiderman movie.

In 1989, I know it was 1989 because I googled it, I went to see Steel Magnolias with my best friend Anne-Lise. I cried most of the way through it. I was full blown wiping my snotty nose on my sweater when Sally Field pitched her little fit and for whatever reason I started that kind of emotional laughing that can not be contained. I laughed and laughed and cried and then laughed until I was snorting, which made my friend laugh and the people in front of us. Finally the usher came and asked me to settle down or leave.
Since I could not, try as I might, settle down, I was forced to leave. I didn't see the end of that movie for a couple of years.

Hahaha my mom and I both get those weird laugh attacks, though her's are particularly strange and last longer, though everyone around her ends up in hysterics because of it. One of the most memorable times was while watching O Brother Where Art Thou...the guys are driving along a road and run over a cow, and she COMPLETELY LOST it. It was hilarious. I recently had one of the crazy laughs because my dad was scooping up some ice cream and was taking a million years. Every time I asked him what was taking so long, I'd get no response and go into hysterics because it was taking him SO long to just scoop up some ice cream! I think the crazy person type laughter is the best!

I had a moment like that in Walmart with my nieces. I told them we needed to stop or the pharmacist was going to look to see if our dials were pupulated. I meant to say pupals are dialated. It is now the running joke. I get really punchy when I am tired. Everything is so funny to me I laugh until I almost pee as well! Guys just don't get it.

When my youngest girl was about two years old, she loved me to read to her (the same books over and over) and then at random moments she would tell me great tales based on the stories.
"Little Red Riding Hood was running through the trees when she saw the wicked witch hiding in the grave-ery. When she went into Grandma's bedroom, she looked and said, 'oh, Grandma, you have so many eyes.'" My daughter is 38 years old and that memory still cracks me up. Thanks for entertaining all of us today. Now get back to work! Bev

BUFFALO, N.Y. - New York's labyrinth of authorities are widely decried as shadow governments that shield their activities from public scrutiny. But they are a model of transparency compared to the Public Bridge Authority that operates the Peace Bridge connecting Buffalo and Fort Erie, Investigative Post has found.
Authorities and other governmental bodies on both sides of the border are obligated to release records in accordance with freedom of information laws in their respective countries. But the Public Bridge Authority, seeking to exploit its status as an international entity, contends it is not bound to the disclosure laws of either country and has adopted policies that give it wide latitude to reject information requests.
For example, federal, state and local governments in both the U.S. and Canada are obligated to disclose who works for them and how much they are paid. But the Public Bridge Authority rejected an information request from Investigative Post that sought the names, job titles and earnings of their 95 employees.
Likewise, governments on both sides of the border are obligated to provide details on how they spend money through disclosure of their annual operating budget. But when Investigative Post requested the authority's most detailed budget document to show how it spends the $33 million it takes in annually, officials would provide only a two-page summary.

On May 28th, 2015,Western Oregon University will celebrate student academic excellence. The entire day will be dedicated to the presentation of student scholarly activities, including original research papers, projects, artwork, performances, and upper-division course projects, presentations, and papers. The showcase will again be organized by the Honor Society of Phi Kappa Phi and the Program for Undergraduate Research Experiences (PURE). To demonstrate the importance of student scholarly pursuits at Western, the Faculty Senate is encouraging the faculty to cancel their classes, while at the same time requiring students to attend their peers' presentations. The primary objectives of the Showcase are to provide an opportunity for presenters, giving them experience that will be useful in furthering their education and careers, and to expose the entire student body to the breadth and importance of the scholarship that is being conducted across campus.
An Academic Excellence Showcase Planning Committee, including faculty and staff from across campus, is organizing this event. In order to ensure the highest level of participation the Showcase Planning Committee has enlisted faculty volunteers, representing academic disciplines across campus, to serve as Session Chairs. Follow the links from the menu to the left for suggested session formats and session chair responsibilities.
President Mark Weiss,
Western Oregon University
Western Oregon University's Academic Excellence Showcase is one of my personal highlights as we draw close to the culmination of each academic year. It provides us all the opportunity to learn about the great work our faculty and students are accomplishing in the classroom and in the field; and, I enjoy spending the day attending as many presentations as are humanly possible.
The Academic excellence Showcase encourages students to demonstrate their research and scholarship, and allows the campus community to experience the varied scholarly and creative interests of our students. These abstracts of student presentations included in the Showcase Proceedings celebrate the pursuit of learning and knowledge. They are a representative sample of the achievements of WOU's student body and we are duly proud of their accomplishments each year. I marvel at the way our faculty motivate and engage our students to "push the envelope" even further each successive year.
I want to thank the students who have chosen to share their work with us, and the faculty for nurturing and guiding the pursuits of our students. Western Oregon University commends your dedication and we are proud of all you do.
Sponsored by:
The Honor Society of Phi Kappa Phi
& The Program for Undergraduate Research Experiences
The Academic Excellence Showcase Planning Committee gratefully acknowledges the generous support of this program provided by President Mark Weiss, Vice President of Academic Affairs Stephen Scheck, the Western Oregon University Foundation and the Office of Public Relations.

Liquid Eyeliner
Our two-tone, peacock blue liquid eyeliner has become a fan favorite. The soft, creamy base of rose petal infusion, jojoba and almond oils are gentle on the sensitive eye area and make the eyeliner easy to blend if you so desire. Glycerin carries the color gently across the lid, so the liner can stay put in clean, crisp lines without imprinting on the top of your eyelid. Wear this color when you need a boost of enthusiasm to get your work done. Motivation; do what you love.
VeganThis product does not contain animal products of any kind.
Start at the inner corner of the eyelid and draw the eyeliner close to the lashes. A fine line will give discreet colour and a thicker line will give boldness to the eye. For a softer look, draw a thick line and blend onto the eyelid with your finger or a brush.
Easy on the eyes: Our beautiful colors are made with gentle bases suitable for the sensitive eye area.
Wear it any way you want: Blend or let it dry in place, line above another color and choose how much or little to use for your unique look.
Finish the look: Eyes Right is our fresh wheatgrass mascara, perfect for finishing your look.

Bronze Taupe / Muted Olive Modern, unique, sometimes unexpected color combinations of eyeshadow shades. Worn alone or together, all Duo Eyeshadow shades feature micro-fine powders that are highly pigmented, long wearing and crease resistant. Color glides on smoothly, evenly and blends effortlessly. The effects can be subtle or smoldering -- the options are endless. - True color application - Can be applied dry or with a dampened brush for stronger intensity - Multi-function use for shading, lining and highlighting the eyes - Classic, neutral, and fashion-forward shade pairings
I find them very practical and the texture high quality!!!, has a wide range of colors!!, and they last for so long that you will not be dissapointed!!
Here's an example, hope it's helpful!
Pandora is a matte deep black combined with a frosty white shimmer. Together, their polar opposite textures and colors create drama, intensity, and a statement on the eyes. I use this two different ways.
1) Apply the shimmery white all over lids and browbone. Then, use the matte deep black as eyeliner (with a damp eyeliner brush like MAC 266), draw a thin line on the upper lash line and lightly flick out to create a mod inspired wing.
2) Apply a neutral matte base (like MAC Bisque) all over the lids to provide a nice base for eyeshadow to stick to (use Urban Decay Primer Potion if you like that product instead). With a densely packed eyeshadow brush (like the MAC 239), pack on the matte black shade of pandora ONTO the lid and a bit lighter on the crease. Then, take the MAC 217 brush and begin smoking the black up and re-applying the black to get your desired smokey intensity. Pat the white shimmery shadow intensely on the inner corners and browbone for a shimmery sheen. Top off with mascara, a peachy nude blush and blush pink gloss :) (See attached photo for eye look)
I love NARS, yes there I said it I love, love, love NARS! All the products are such high quality, so highly pigmented and go on beautifully and wear all day. Yes I said all day, and my average day is 12-14 hours. From morn to night NARS stays with me. I Have 2 Duo Eye-shadows: Isolde and Mediteranee and both are gorgeous. They are bold colors and can be worn that way, but also can play them down a bit for an everyday look. Every time I wear them I get asked all day long, what are you wearing??? Lol
Super pigmented and this duo in Kalahari is a soft gold and brown colour, amazing for day time and creating a night time look too, I use an eye primer under these just to make them last longer and make the colours really pop, but over all these duo's are the best!!! I would collect them all if I could.
I really do like how natural and pretty this duo is on but the glitters in the darker color flakes off a bit. The first is really sheer almost non-existent on my skintone; the second though is a glittery bronze color. The colors are just average and so is the pigmentation but I do not at all regret swapping for it. Next time maybe i will try a more colorful duo that will have more fun colors to work with. Overall, This product is so-so.
I have pale skin and blue-grey eyes and this is seriously the perfect duo for me. The ivory shade has a really pretty muti-colored shimmer to it, and the grey isn't overly blue or purple. This duo is great for every day looks, but you can also add in black shadow and liner to go with a pale smokey eye. For me, even with my oily eyelids, the wear is superior. I've only tried a few NARS products, but this one is definitely the best.
This duo is so pretty. The green side is the perfect emerald color, and the ivory makes a nice highlighter on paler skin. The wear is great, and while the ivory shade is a little bit chalky, it doesn't really show on the skin. It isn't a cheap duo by any means, but if you want a versatile green shadow, I say it is worth it.
I picked this eye shadow duo up at Toronto IMATS 2012 and it was a good price too, nice colors, very pigmented, huge fan of NARS eye shadows! The sable colour is a nice color for all over the lid, and then blend the darker violet colour in the crease for a nice smokey eye for evening. I don't like how the packaging gets so dirty quickly, I think they could improve on that a bit, apparently they break easily too but
i haven;t experienced that yet, Hopefully I never will, I also am loving the New Andy Warhol collection too, picked up a lip gloss from it in the colour " Candy Says"

Gender Gifted refers to a person who's capacity for gender expression exceeds the binary. It is a positive term and can be applied to anyone who enjoys to challenge cis gendered normatives, whether it be in frame of mind, in presentation, or as an ally to loved ones who challenge the binary gender divide.
That person doesn't fit 'he' or 'she' as a pronoun, they're Gender Gifted and would be better addressed by name.

Andrew Garfield got a brand new Spidey suit for "The Amazing Spider-Man 2" -- and it's much better than the first one ... at least when it comes to taking a leak.
The actor was very candid during a press conference for the flick at Comic-Con on Friday, explaining why he prefers his revamped costume.
"The eyes are much bigger and better, you can see more," he says. "It's still as tight as it was before, but I was able to urinate in this one easier, that was a very generous adjustment."
We're guessing he doesn't mean he actually relieves himself in the suit, but maybe there's a hidden zipper or something.
"I dig it more,' he added. "I loved the first one ... but it's mostly my ability to urinate, which I'm happy about. It was very generous of them to set it up in that way."
And on a totally different note, one reporter asked if the web slinger has had any luck finding a new boyfriend.
A little back story: Andrew recently joked to EW that MJ should be a guy in the next movie and that actor Michael B. Jordan should play him. The comment sparked a lot of conversation about sexuality in comics in general ... which Garfield says was his main intention.
"What I said was a question, just a simple philosophical question about sexual orientation, about prejudice," he told the press on Friday. "I obviously long for the time where sexual orientation, skin color is a small thread in the fabric of a human being."
"To speak to the idea of me and Michael B. Jordan, it was tongue in cheek," he adds. "It would be illogical for me in the third movie to be like 'You know what, I'm kind of attracted to guys." That's just not gonna work."
"When Stan Lee first wrote and created this character, the outcast was the computer nerd, the science nerd, the guy who couldn't get the girl," he continues. "Those guys now run the world. So how much of an outcast is that version of Peter Parker anymore?"
"Just love for the underdog, protecting those who need protection," says Garfield. "In terms of teenagers nowawdays, you hear horror stories about young gay men and women not feeling accepted by society, attempting suicide, committing suicide in some cases and who else is there to stand up for more importantly than them? We're all the same, that's my point."
It definitely sparks an interesting conversation. While gay superheroes do exist in the comics, how long do you think we'll have to wait until we see one of them make a big screen crossover?

By Bev PalmerEast Carbon
Being one of the 65 and older residents living in the Sunnyside/East Carbon area I felt the need to respond to the letter written by Dean Jones (Letters to the Editor, Sun Advocate Dec. 20, 2012).
I have lived in Sunnyside for 57 years and have witnessed the ups and downs of living in a coal mining town. When the livelihood was stable and the mines were working good and the young families out numbered the aging you would have been hard pressed to find a community that took more pride in not only their families but also their properties. As the years have passed and the two coal mines, Kaiser Steel and U.S. Steel are now in the history books, many of our younger families have had to leave the area in search of steady work.
Therefore, Mr. Jones, the aging became the caretakers of our cities and believe it or not we do the best we can. I am sure it would be out of the question to even suggest that possibly you could volunteer some of your time to lend a hand to an elderly widow or someone who is home bound. No, it appears it is much easier for you to pass judgment and make unkind remarks toward a people and a community that you know nothing about.
So, Mr. Jones, don't be embarrassed for us or by us but be embarrassed for the hurtful statements you have made. We share the same county and whether you like it or not. I don't see Sunnyside or East Carbon disappearing off the face of the earth.
It is so much easier to become part of a solution than to be the virus that passes hate and discrimination.

Marmot Sleeping Bags
If you've never spent a night in a Marmot sleeping bag, you're missing out. Whether your budget and intended use steer you toward goose down insulation or synthetic insulation, our selection of sleeping bags from Marmot is the best choice for any season, for ultralight backpackers and car-camping families alike.
Why? Well, with so many options available, you're sure to find the perfect one for your needs. Marmot down sleeping bags range from 600-fill all the way up to an incredibly warm and toasty 900-fill goose down in the Plasma sleeping bags. The newest versions even include Marmot's "down defender" technology, which applies a water-resistant treatment directly to the insulation to increase efficiency in humid or damp conditions. And while the warmth-to-weight ratio of down is unmatched, Marmot synthetic sleeping bags (like the best-selling Marmot Trestles series) provide a more wallet-friendly, moisture-resistant option. Every down bag uses independently-certified down for consistent fill power, and every sleeping bag is EN-certified for a trustworthy temperature rating.
Like all Marmot clothing and gear, these sleeping bags are also packed with thoughtful and trail-worthy features like full-length zippers, an insulated draft tube, a baffled hood and a zipper-free face muff. Most include a stuff sack and storage sack. There are even gender-specific women's sleeping bags, and kids' versions too. While the cream-of-the-crop down sleeping bags are of course mummy bags, there are also several bags with a "semi rec" (more rectangular) shape for those who'd rather trade lightweight efficiency for a bit of extra comfort.
If you need more great outdoor gear to go with your new sleeping bag, check out our full line of Marmot tents or shop all hiking and camping gear to make sure you're ready for that next adventure.
The products in the Marmot Sleeping Bags category have an average rating of 4.6 of 5 from 36 customer reviews.

World trade rules still not fair
In contrast to the statements by several governments who hailed the WTO's Ministerial conference as a success, the members of the FINE platform, the four principal European and International federations for Fair Trade (FLO, IFAT, NEWS and EFTA), all agreed that the meeting was a failure, when measured against development goals.
Despite constantly talking of a "development round" the Hong Kong WTO Ministerial meeting has given priority to opening markets instead of putting development at its heart. Developing countries were under enormous pressure from the powerful trade blocks of the North to accept more trade liberalisation.
After presenting a joint position towards the 6th Ministerial World, urging to protect the world weakest economies from liberalization trade, the FINE platform was bitterly disappointed about the outcome of the conference.
What was agreed in Hong Kong: in a nut-shell
• Export subsidies will be abolished by 2013 - but only if poor countries agree to open up their industrial and service sectors, something most developing countries had strongly resisted.
• A "development package" to help poor countries gain access to rich countries markets - but the benefits will be minimal.
• Export subsidies on cotton will be eliminated – but this will make little difference to cotton farmers in poor countries.
• A further meeting will be held in Geneva (where the WTO headquarters are based) probably in March or April 2006.

However, outside of the official negotiation rooms, the Fair trade movement had a great presence in Hong Kong at the Fair Trade Fair and Symposium. During the three-day fair trade fair, producers from Asia, Africa, the Middle East and Latin America displayed and sold their products, including coffee, chocolate, spices, crafts, textiles and many others. These producers had the opportunity to share their stories about fair trade's enormous impact on their communities with the visitors. FLO-certified Producers were also present as, for example, the Green Net Cooperative from Thailand and the Kashintual Cane Growers Limited Cooperative from Malawi.
While a "fair" outcome of the WTO negotiations could not be achieved, Fair Trade demonstrated clearly that it constitutes a real alternative towards more trade justice!

BUFFALO, NY - Crews were removing the arches of the NFTA's Theater District Metro Station Saturday morning as plans to bring vehicular traffic back to that section Main Street proceeded.
The station itself closed last month.
Traffic on the above-ground section of the Metro Rail was interrupted between 7 a.m. and noon while the distinctive steel arches were taken out. They were originally installed when then the subway was constructed in the 1980s.

By RICHARD SHAWSun Advocate publisher
It began with the simple delivery of a repaired newspaper machine to Helper.
"I have your machine ready to go," said our repairman Val, who resides in Emery County. The phone line crackled a little. "Do you want me to bring it to the office or take it to the location directly?" he asked.
"It only makes sense that you take it right to the location," I said as I was preoccupied with some matter on the Internet. "You will need some recent papers to put in it so I will leave a stack at the front counter," I said as we concluded the conversation.
It was nearly lunch time and I had some errands to run so I brought out a stack of that day's Sun Advocates, put them on the counter and asked our classified manager to be sure that Val got them. Then I walked out the back door, thinking things were just hunky dorry.
About an hour later I walked in the back door and as I did our production manager was on the phone with someone.
"This is Val on the phone and he says he doesn't have a lock for the machine," she said. "He is in Helper standing there wondering what to do."
As Mr. Super Publisher I sprung into action.
"Tell him I will be there in a few minutes with a lock for the machine," I yelled, swinging my arms around in the usually excited way that I do.
I fumbled with the pile of locks that we have on a table in the back room and found one that actually had a key that would open it. I put it in my pocket and raced out the door, headed to Helper.
When I arrived there was Val standing there.
"Here is the lock," I said as I tried to hand it to him.
"Didn't you bring the rod that goes through the back of the machine to lock it?" he asked. "You know when I take them out of service to repair them I always leave the lock and the rod at the office."
I looked at the lock in my hand. Of course it wouldn't do any good without the rod that runs through the machine. I didn't know that he didn't have it. I should have asked more questions instead of running off thinking I was going to save the day. Afterall, I was trained to ask questions about everything. Details are important to a reporter.
Val drove off as I took the papers out of the machine and left it there bare, empty and unlocked, until I could get back out to place a rod with a lock on it to secure it.
When I got back to the office, I started to look for the rod. I couldn't find it. So I called our back room manager.
"It's next to the wall by my desk," she told me after I had asked about the rod from the machine.
I looked and looked and I couldn't see it. Some women in our office always tease the men about "looking like a man" and that is what I was doing. I finally found it behind some posterboard laying against the wall. There was the rod with a lock through it, soundly snapped shut.
"It has a locked lock on it," I told her.
"The key rings for all the locks are in a drawer on the other side of the mail room," she said. "There are four key rings, and the one with the fewest keys is the one that key will be on. The rings are in the left top drawer."
I walked across to the other side of the building. There were a number of drawers, so I looked in the top left one.
"It's not there," I said.
She insisted it was so I looked again. And then, under penalty of looking like a man, I opened all the drawers and could only find one key attached with tape to a piece of paper that had the words "This is the key" written on it.
"There are no key rings here," I said.
"Are you sure you are looking in the right place," she said, with a bit of irritation in her voice. I didn't blame her; I can bring that out in people.
"It's not here," I said again smugly, knowing that I had throughly examined all the drawers and therefore could not be accused of viewing things like a male of the species.
She was silent for a minute then she spoke.
"You know what, I bet Val took the keys because he was going to work on a number of machines today and he needed them," she said.m "That's where they are. Val has them."
I looked around. What had conspired to make two hours of my day go by without getting anything accomplished.
"I will call him and tell him to bring them to the office," she said.
About an hour later Val showed up with the keys he had taken that morning when he had picked up the papers to put in the machine, whose rod and lock were laying on the floor behind some posterboard, less than two feet from the key that would have solved all my momemtary problems.
Consequently the machine got its rod and lock, the people who wanted papers there could buy them and I went home thinking about what might have been had I known a little more about what I was doing.
The keystone cops have nothing on me.

Oregon State wide receiver's career may be over
The college football career of Oregon State wide receiver Kevin Cummings may be over following wrist injury suffered sometime during the first half of the Beavers' 20-12 loss to Stanford on Saturday.
Mike Riley said Tuesday that Cummings is out indefinitely after undergoing surgery to repair the injury.
It's possible that the senior could return for a bowl game, but that will depend on his recovery.
"It's bad," Riley said on losing Cummings. "I really will miss him. He was such an easy guy to coach with his experience, his savvy and his investment was huge. These guys that are coming in have to really step up to fill that void."
In his absence, redshirt freshman Malik Gilmore and senior Micah Hatfield expect to shoulder a heavier load.
The loss is bad for Cummings, too. After making just 28 catches in his first three seasons for the Beavers, he began to emerge as a go to receiver in clutch situations this year.
Cummings had 23 catches for 254 yards through eight games this season. Thirteen of those 23 grabs went for first downs.

Read: JT Miller and Team USA Need To Be Better
Early this morning JT Miller and Team USA lost 2-1 to Canada in the World Junior Championships.
Miller was scoreless today, won 5 faceoffs and lost 6, had three second period shots and was on the ice for both goals scored against Team USA.
Miller lost the faceoff which led to Ryan Nugent-Hopkins goal. RNH shot the puck past Miller who attempted to block the shot
Chris Peters writes at the United States of Hockey that this may have been his best game of the tournament but that isn't saying much. He says that Miller needs to become the difference maker that Team USA thought he would be.
Dave Starman writes at NHL.com that Miller and the rest of the top six forwards were "invisible" today and that Miller needs to be a bigger presence in front of the net.

PORTLAND, Maine (NEWS CENTER) -- When Dylan Woodhouse broke his neck while swimming at Old Orchard Beach this past summer, the last thing he was thinking about was braving the frigid waters of the Atlantic on New Year's Day.
"You see a lot of stuff when you are in the hospital and it gives you a better appreciation for the handicapped and what they have to go through," said Woodhouse who has been in numerous hospitals and rehab facilities since his accident.
Dylan Woodhouse was swimming with a friend at Old Orchard Beach when he dove into a wave. The undertow pulled him under the water and slammed his body into the ocean floor, breaking his neck. Lucky for Dylan, his friend was nearby and pulled him to shore.
After three and a half months of rehabilitation, Woodhouse has beaten the odds and is now able to walk using a cane. Doctors had told his parents while he was in surgery that their son had less than a ten percent chance of ever walking again.
"He said with this type of injury, he hadn't seen, in 20 years, somebody walk again after," Dylan's mother, Diane Moxcey, was told by the surgeon after his surgery. "You never know how strong your kid is until you see them at their lowest."
A rigorous schedule of physical therapy, including biking, swimming and working out in the gym have allowed Dylan to regain much of the motion in one of his two legs.
Now, he is planning on raising money for the Maine Special Olympics by participating in the 22nd Annual Lobster Dip. He will not be diving into the ocean this time, but with the help of some friends and family, will walk into the water. Coincidentally, the event is held on the same stretch of beach where his accident occured.
"I just want to help the less fortunate basically," explained Woodhouse. "Because I have seen the worst of the worst, being in hospitals, and I just want to do what I can to help those people out."
Dylan Woodhouse has created a website to raise money for the Special Olympics, and has raised about $500 so far from friends and family. You can find more information and make a donation by visiting Dylan's website by clicking here.

I'm introducing a new weekly segment called Fight Night Blog Fight. Where I will re-blog posts from two authors about the same subject but from different political perspectives. I might enter the ring from time to time but mostly I want to see what other people in the blogosphere have to say about relevant political issues of the day. Ill pull out the most essential excerpt from the bloggers post and invite you visit their link to read more. I post, You decide!
This weeks topic will be the Fiscal Cliff. And in the blue corner. The Desert Beacon.
"The central question about the 'fiscal cliff' is whether or not it becomes a stairway to heaven for the American middle class. It's a cliff if the Republican controlled Congress obstructs the negotiation process such that ALL tax breaks enacted during the Bush Administration expire — including those for those earning less than $250,000 annually. It's a stairway to heaven, if the Congress can agree to allow the tax breaks for millionaires and billionaires to expire, and retain the tax breaks for middle class families."
And in the red corner. Atlas Shrugged Today
"The "Fiscal Cliff" is not a cliff, it is a phrase that is being used to prepare the political battlefield to beat the GOP into unpalatable and unnecessary concessions. It is not only not a cliff, it isn't even a speed bump. My recommendation is not about burning the house down to make the Democrats look bad. Though I can't help but note that their constituency gets hit much harder if we walk away than does ours. It is about the long term health of the nation. As the CBO points out, the economy will be stronger in the long run if no agreement is reached. We should listen to their advice and walk away."
Touch gloves and come out blogging.
