People like to be scared, and this list of horror movie collection essentials films is sure to scare the pants off of even some of the most hardened moviegoers. Classic…
/Film reports that despite the upcoming Jekyll film project starring Keanu Reeves, Bad Lieutenant director Abel Ferrara is moving forward with his own retelling of the classic tale. Jekyll and Hyde is set to star Forest Whitaker and 50 Cent as the cursed doctor in a contemporary retelling. Clearly they missed the boat on casting. 50 Cent as Mr. Hyde? They should have cast Mike Tyson. Wouldn't even need no make-up.Check out some more of these morning headlines. Lost Season 5: Hurley's Greatest Hits. (io9) Hanging With Mr. Danza.

Pronounced: FLEW-tuh-mide
Classification: Antiandrogen
Most prostate cancers need supplies of the male hormone testosterone to grow. Testosterone is an androgen (hormone) produced by the testes and adrenal glands. Flutamide works by blocking testosterone receptors on the prostate cells, and therefore preventing testosterone from attaching to the receptors on the surface of the prostate cancer cells. Without testosterone, the cancer cells may either grow more slowly, or stop growing altogether.
Flutamide is given as a capsule, taken three times a day (spaced every 8 hours). For patients who cannot swallow pills, the capsule can be opened and its contents mixed with food, such as applesauce or pudding.
There are a number of things you can do to manage the side effects of Flutamide. Talk to your doctor or nurse about these recommendations. They can help you decide what will work best for you. These are some of the most common side effects:
Take anti-nausea medications as prescribed. If you continue to have nausea or vomiting, notify your doctor or nurse so they can help you manage this side effect. In addition, dietary changes may help. Avoid things that may worsen the symptoms, such as heavy or greasy/fatty, spicy or acidic foods (lemons, tomatoes, oranges). Try antacids, (e.g. milk of magnesia, calcium tablets such as Tums), saltines, or ginger ale to lessen symptoms. Read the Nausea & Vomiting Tip Sheet for more suggestions.
Call your doctor or nurse if you are unable to keep fluids down for more than 12 hours or if you feel lightheaded or dizzy at any time.
Most men find that hot flashes decrease after a period of time on the medication. There are a few things you can do to help with hot flashes. Several medications have been studied, including some low doses of antidepressants (such as venlafaxine and Paxil), and certain hormone therapies (medroxyprogesterone acetate and cyproterone acetate). Non-medical recommendations include: keeping well-hydrated with eight glasses of water daily, wearing cotton or lightweight, breathable fabrics, dressing in layers, exercising on a regular basis (generally walking exercise is best), practicing relaxation exercises, and avoiding triggers such as warm rooms, spicy foods, caffeinated beverages, nicotine and alcohol.
This drug can affect your reproductive system, resulting in sperm production becoming irregular or stopping permanently. In addition, you may experience erectile dysfunction or a decreased desire for sex during treatment. Talk to your urologist about options for treating erectile dysfunction.
Exposure of an unborn child to this medication could cause birth defects, so you should not father a child while on this medication. Effective birth control is necessary during treatment, even if you believe your sperm is affected. You may want to consider sperm banking if you may wish to have a child in the future. Discuss these options with your oncology team. See OncoLink's section on sexuality for helpful tips for dealing with these side effects.
An increase in breast tissue (gynecomastia) or breast tenderness may develop. Your healthcare team can suggest medications to relieve the tenderness. In rare cases, radiation can be given to relieve severe tenderness.
Men who take hormone therapy for extended periods of time are at risk for bone thinning (osteoporosis). You may be advised to take calcium and vitamin D supplements to help prevent bone loss. You may have a bone density scan (DEXA scan) to assess your bone health. If your physician determines that you are at high risk of developing osteoporosis, they may recommend additional treatment with a type of medication called a bisphosphonate to help strengthen the bones. Learn more about bone health after cancer therapy.
Flutamide can cause an increase in liver function tests that resolves when the medication is stopped. This medication can make your urine appear blue/green or orange in color.

Your cart is empty!
The low pH of this shampoo has eliminated my irritation and leaves my hair beautiful and shiny. It smells great and it is safe for sensitive skin. This is the best shampoo for children. I would highly recommend this product to children who has sensitive skin.
My son (3) has very sensitive skin and most soaps irritate his skin and cause his exzema to break out more. Not Exederm! Love this shampoo for my son! Finally something that doesn't make his skin worse!
I chose J&J No More Tangles because although I love the shampoo we've been using for our daughter since the day she was born (Mustela), she's gotten enough hair now that she has tangles. This was the only tangle-free option I found in our local drug store and I thought I could trust the brand. I have learned from that mistake.
My first annoyance came when, in the middle of the bath when I'm wet and she's slippery, I found that when I opened the bottle it was sealed under the cap. So I have to find a way to peel off a tightly sealed bottle with wet soapy hands. Grr. (I have never in my years of experience washing my own hair ever encountered a sealed shampoo bottle. I get that it's for kids and I guess they want to make sure it doesn't get ingested, but what busy parent has the time and energy to be tasked with another silly chore like this, especially in the middle of a bath? And once the seal is off after that very first use, if a baby is going to drink it, the seal doesn't protect her in that case.)
The second thing that turned me off was the smell. It's soooo artificial and sweet. In fact, the very first thing my husband said when he got home that night was, "Why does our daughter smell like cheap perfume?" It's awful.
The third nail in the coffin for this shampoo was how hard it is to rinse out. My other brand takes barely a single pass with the shower wand to rinse out of her hair. This took almost a solid minute to get out. I know the tangle-free agent is conditioner-based so there would be a little more rinsing involved, but this was way too much for a baby. She was practically apoplectic by the time we were finished rinsing.
The final straw was that my daughter had just as many tangles as with her other shampoo.
I used it twice and am giving it away to someone I don't like. Even if my old shampoo is twice as expensive as J&J, I'll buy Mustela every time.
"I have tried almost a dozen natural baby washes and this wins my vote. The scent leaves baby skin smelling delicately of orange sherbet and 'clean'. To my amazement it also leaves even my daughter's long hair soft. This wash isn't as 'sudsy' as I would like, but it leaves skin soft, not sticky like some soaps. Recommended!"
This is the best stuff. The smell is great, not a real strong purfume smell. People don't realize that the Johnson & Johnson stuff has sulfates in it, this has none of that.

i agree the 250 anniverserary was no different then there regular stout a imperial stout would be great
You'd think, or hope, that for a 250th anniversary, they'd do a Jameson barrel aged Imperial Stout, or something like that.But no, Guinness will be Guinness. It's a very good brew, much closer to an Irish Dry Stout than the nitro draught. I wish they'd make it their regular brew and kick the "rocket widget" to the curb (or "kerb" as the natives say)

Editor's Note: This is the first installment of a new weekly column, "Working Retirement," in which MarketWatch writer Andrea Coombes focuses on the money and lifestyle questions emerging from the latest retirement trend: working longer.
SAN FRANCISCO—Mature workers don't have it easy in today's labor market, but the inexorable force of demographics may be helping to loosen ageism's hold on U.S. employers, opening up opportunities in more industries for job seekers whose faces reflect some years of experience.
While health-care companies and universities often show up on lists of "age-friendly" employers because of their efforts to attract and retain a graying workforce, the sheer number of older people nationwide may help erase age boundaries in other industries, too.
"The problem of age bias has not been solved yet, but attitudes do seem to be improving," said Sara Rix, senior strategic policy adviser with AARP's Public Policy Institute.
Employers may have no choice but to change. The number of workers age 55 and up grew by 3.5 million from September 2009 to September 2012—the lion's share of the gain of 4.2 million for all workers 16 and older, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. By 2020, 25% of the labor force will be 55 and older, up from 20% in 2010 and 12% in 1990.
Big tax bills can devastate your retirement savings. MarketWatch's Robert Powell and Andrea Coombes talk about strategies to employ before and during retirement to lower your taxes.

MarketWatch Retirement
RetireMentors: In-the-trenches advice
Ways to boost Social Security payout
Retire here, not there: California
10 things your 401(k) plan won't tell you
Two factors help explain those figures. One is demographics. In the past three years through July, 86% of the population growth among people aged 25 to 69 was driven by people aged 55 to 69, said Richard Johnson, director of the program on retirement policy at the Urban Institute, a nonprofit research group. That's not surprising, given that baby boomers—some 78 million people born between 1946 and 1964—started hitting age 55 in 2001.
Another factor: Older workers are getting hired more often than you might think. In one recent survey, hiring managers were three times as likely to say they'd hire a worker aged 50 or older than a 20-something, according to a survey of 501 hiring managers by Adecco Staffing, an employment and recruiting agency. Read the Adecco survey on hiring.
It's not as though older workers have it easy. One stark sign of their struggles: In 2011, jobless workers 55 and older faced a median of 35 weeks unemployment, versus 26 weeks for those aged 25 to 54, according to a report in May from the U.S. Government Accountability Office.
"There's no question that things are better and the acceptance of so-called mature workers is improving, but you can't get around the fact that it does take longer, typically, for people over 50 to get re-employed," said Tim Driver, chief executive of Boston-based RetirementJobs.com, a career site and advocacy group for mature workers.
For older job seekers, the following industries are likelier to be welcoming.
Financial Services
"Tax preparer" was one of 25 occupations with the highest percentage of workers age 55-plus in 2010—an estimated 40% of workers in that field are 55 or older, according to the Urban Institute. (Also on the list: bus drivers, chief executives, psychologists, librarians and real-estate appraisers.)
Fidelity Investments, Vanguard and Wells Fargo are among the companies certified "age friendly" by RetirementJobs.com, and AARP's most recent biennial list of best employers for workers over age 50 includes seven financial-services firms, including Pennsylvania-based S&T Bank and Nevada Federal Credit Union.
"Banks and insurance companies have been forward-thinking about the need to think about the aging workforce and what that means for their organizations," said Jacquelyn B. James, director of research at Boston College's Sloan Center on Aging and Work.
For example, Principal Financial offers a "Happy Returns" program to enable retirees to return to work without interrupting their benefits.
Another common sight on "age friendly" lists: educational institutions, from elementary schools such as Brevard Public Schools in Florida to universities, including Cornell and George Mason, all on AARP's list.

- 1 of 21
From 1960s muses like Brigitte Bardot and Jayne Mansfield, to present-day street style daredevils, the military cap is getting some serious play. Therefore, we suggest you give your beanie a rest and pick up this timeless chapeau instead. Need a little styling inspiration? Click through for 11 awesome ways to wear this hat, and don't forget to shop our favorites at the end!
- 2 of 21
Rosie Huntington-Whiteley
The ever-so-stylish supermodel stepped out in Los Angeles in a gray Equipment Sloane Cashmere Sweater ($270), Citizens of Humanity Dylan Loose Fit Jeans ($228), and Chloé clutch. She (quite literally) topped her outfit off with a gold-banded Maison Michel cap in a cream hue, giving a laidback, tomboy feel to the ensemble.
- 3 of 21
Street Style
If you're new to the military cap, try an all-neutral outfit, like this street styler. She matched her black cap to her dress, and polished the look off with a cream coat and beige bag. Add definition to the ensemble with a metal belt cinched around the waist!
- 4 of 21
Astrid Berges Frisbey
The French actress attended the Isabel Marant x H&M launch party in Paris donning the collection head-to-toe, including the wool fisherman's cap. The oversized cardigan combined with her messy, side ponytail resulted in a chic, effortless look.
- 5 of 21
Saray Martin of Dansvogue
We love the Barcelona blogger's interpretation of the military cap. She tucked her locks into a vintage hat and added a feminine touch with a vintage, printed shirtdress. The key to her outfit success lays in the details, like her rolled sleeves, belted waist, and berry lipstick.
- 6 of 21
For a youthful iteration of this hat, pair it with your favorite mini skirt and brightly-colored sweater, like Zingmark. She chose an initialed sweater with plaid contrast sleeves, and wore sheer, black tights, resulting in a look that's delightfully reminiscent of a schoolgirl.
- 7 of 21
Kate Moss
When trying out a trend, looking to Moss for styling inspiration is a no-brainer, which is why her recent ensemble while out in London works perfectly for today's story. She paired her cap with an athletic jacket, black t-shirt, and distressed Mango jeans (similar style here).
- 8 of 21
Iris Gravemaker of Fashion Zen
Winter is an excellent season to pull out your favorite hat, so why not make it the military cap? Gravemaker wore her H&M cap with a cozy Stylish Plus' Turn-Down Collar Plaid Coat ($54) for an ensemble suitable for all cold-weather occasions!
- 9 of 21
Suki Waterhouse
Waterhouse's bohemian take on the military cap shows how versatile this hat can really be. She wore hers with a printed blouse and kept her hair down for a look with undone appeal.
Get The Look: Kangol Wool Spitfire Newsboy Cap ($31); Vince Camuto Floral Print Peasant Blouse ($35)
- 10 of 21
Natalie Suarez of Natalie Off Duty
A striped shirt's je ne sais quoi factor is something to be admired, proving true yet again in this outfit, courtesy of Suarez. The blogger paired her striped TOPMAN t-shirt with a ladylike Bardot Frayed Boucle Jacket ($82) and James Jeans High Class Skinny Jeans ($150). She balanced the preppy look with her H&M cap and metal, stacked rings.
- 11 of 21
Andy Torres of Style Scrapbook
Why not embrace the origins of this stylish cap and don a military-inspired outfit, like Torres? Her gold button H&M Paris Collection blazer accentuated the soldierly feel of her H&M cap. For the rest of her look, she chose a Zara Basic Denim Shirt ($50), Guess Kate Skinny Jeans ($45), and a petite, structured Rebecca Minkoff Hudson Moto Bag ($365).
- 12 of 21
Chiara Ferragni of The Blonde Salad
Amp up your cap with a cat eye and attention-grabbing jewelry, like Ferragni. She wore her vintage hat while at Milan Fashion Week, and chose evil eye earrings to create a uniquely-accessorized look.

This guidance is for employers and professionals in small, medium and large organisations, especially those working in human resources or occupational health. It will also be of interest to employees, trades union representatives and members of the public.
Recommendations for employers include:
- Develop an organisation-wide plan and introduce and monitor an organisation-wide, multi-component programme to encourage and support employees to be more physically active. (This could be part of a broader programme to improve health.)
- Encourage employees to walk, cycle or use another mode of transport involving physical activity to travel part or all of the way to and from work (for example, by developing a travel plan).
- Help employees to be physically active during the working day, for example, by encouraging them to take the stairs or walk to external meetings.
The guidance complements and supports, but does not replace, NICE guidance on: physical activity and the environment, workplace smoking and obesity.

I am going to elevate you into a new arena, where you will find that you are able to accomplish a whole lot more during the time alloted you. You will find that you can complete a myriad of tasks in any given day, whereas before, you had little time to accomplish anything, having to focus your energies in many different directions all at once, just to get through the day. I am setting in motion a brand new time frame for My servants, that matches not with the worldly structure, therefore you will be able to achieve much more than you ever thought possible, giving you time to enjoy and appreciate your families and times of pleasure. I have much work to do, and I consider the needs and the welfare of My servants; and at times you have all worked so very hard and have travelled long and far in your journeys, so now I will reward each of you accordingly, giving you all some much needed rest and time with your families, to simply enjoy and appreciate each other's company. This I give to you because I love you. This I give to you because I live...
John 14:19-21 "A little while longer and the world will see Me no more, but you will see Me. Because I live, you will live also. At that day you will know that I am in My Father, and you in Me, and I in you. He who has My commandments and keeps them, it is he who loves Me. And he who loves Me will be loved by My Father, and I will love him and manifest Myself to him."
Glory to God for these words, Amen.

Intimate family relationship led to Harrah shooting
HARRAH, Wash. -- An arrest has been made in the shooting that took place in Harrah Friday.
An 18-year-old man shot his uncle, 26-year-old Roberto Ocampo-Ursino, with a rifle. According to deputies, the two had an intimate relationship which Ocampo-Ursino was not interested in continuing. The 18-year-old nephew wanted to continue the relationship. When he shot his uncle, only a 4-year-old female was in the room.
Ocampo-Ursino is now stable after initially being listed in critical condition.
Yakima County Sheriff's Deputies responded to the report around 1:15 p.m. at a home on the 20 block of Washington Street Friday. They found 26-year-old Roberto Ursino had been shot several times.
The nephew immediately called 911 and said it was an accident. Further investigation proved otherwise.

Video Cards / Graphics Cards
A video card or graphic card is similar to a processor but is specially designed to control the screen images – or graphics – on your personal computer. If you love graphics-intensive games or videos, a high quality video card is a must for your PC system. Today's complex games simply will not perform to their maximum potential if your computer is equipped with an outdated video card.
Buying a new video card for your PC can be a bit daunting, though, because there are so many models available and options to consider. But if you know exactly how you plan to use the card, you can make the process much simpler and choose the best video card for your needs and your budget.
Video cards fall into one of three main categories:
- Hardcore/Enthusiast – Hardcore/enthusiast video cards are the highest-end, best- performing cards available…ideal for 3D gaming and other demanding applications.
- Mainstream – these are mid-priced video cards that offer good to excellent performance for demanding applications like 3D gaming.
- Value – More affordable than Hardcore or Mainstream cards, Value video cards are used primarily for business and desktop graphics functions, 2D gaming and very limited 3D gaming. They are also used for specific applications like providing TV output or S-Video output or dual monitor support.
Before buying a video card, make sure it's compatible with the motherboard on your PC. For example, PCI Express video cards won't work with motherboards designed only for AGP or PCI video cards, and vice versa. Once you've determined which type of video card you need, you're ready to make your choice. Finding the right video card is easy at TigerDirect, which offers a wide array of options from leading video card manufacturers such as AMD, NVIDIA, PNY, MSI, XFX, EVGA and more.
How to Choose a Graphics Card
In this video, we'll show you How to Choose a Graphics Card. We go over three distinct Video Cards that will suit your specific needs. Watch and learn!

The Essential Cell Phone Headset Buying Guide
The Essential Cell Phone Headset Buying Guide
If you are in the market for a new cell phone headset do not allow the numerous brands, styles and designs scare you away. No matter what you are looking for in a headset you can easily find something that suits all of your needs, all at a price to accommodate your budget. Use this guide to learn more about the various styles of headsets, features to look for and so much more! You'll never fear buying a cell phone headset again!
Types of Cell Phone Headsets
People choose to use cell phone headsets for a variety of reasons, from safety issues to wanting to keep their hands-free to do other things. Those who use headsets state they make the experience of talking on the phone much more enjoyable, as well as easier and more comfortable. Regardless of the reason you want a headset for your cell phone you can certainly find one that accommodates your needs when you understand the various types of headsets that are available.
Cell phone headsets vary in size, style, design and in price. Some are made for specific brands of cell phones while others are universal and can be used with any number of cell phones. Before you buy it is important that you understand exactly what it is you want your headset to do.
The traditional cell phone headset looks like a pair of earphones with a microphone attached to it. The earphones are placed inside of the ear with the microphone easily adjustable to fit your style.
Another popular type of cell phone headset is one that features just one earphone. They come with a clip that attaches to the ear and serves as the microphone. Many people say that this particular style of headset provides a more quality and clear conversation while you are on the phone.
The wireless headset is one of the latest designs offered. Most of the wireless headsets operate on Bluetooth technology so there is no need to connect the cell phone to the headset. There are numerous styles and designs of wireless headsets, including clipped and one- ear headsets. The microphone in the wireless headsets is found in the earpiece, as with the one-ear headsets.
Choosing your Cell Phone Headset
When you've decided the type of headset that you would like to own it is time to look at the features that headset should offer to you. Taking the time to look for a cell phone headset that meets all of your needs will ensure an enjoyable experience is yours.
First, take a look at the microphone. A quality microphone is essential if you want the crystal clear conversation so many speak about. The microphone in the headset should offer noise-blocking features so that you can easily hear even in noisy environments. Boom microphones are often preferred as they offer the best sound and performance.
Is the headset comfortable? Buying a headset that isn't lightweight and snug may cause you more hassle than you want to deal with. Your headset should be designed so that you forget that it is even on your head!
Battery life of the headset is another important consideration that you want to make. The headset isn't very good if you have to stop and charge it many times during the day. You should be able to get between3 and 10 hours of talk time and battery life with a good headset. A lithium-ion battery should be included in your headset.
Finally, consider the technology that is offered. These days it seems there is something new and improved coming out regularly, offering cell phone users so much more than ever before. Your cell phone headset help provide conversation with those you want to talk to, but can also help deliver music, ringtones and so much more. Does the cell phone headset you've chosen offer these extras?

By RICHARD SHAWSun Advocate publisher
The murder that took place in Carbonville on Sunday night is at this time the last in a long line of homicides that have taken place over the years in Carbon County.
However, the rate of murder in the area has dropped dramatically from what it was before 1980. Going back in the the 1940s and before, the murder rate for the area showed multiple killings almost every year. In recent years there has hardly been any murders, but suicide has grown, unfortunately.
The last death that was caused by one person on another took place at the Price Canyon Recreation Area in Price Canyon on Aug. 7, 2009 when it was reported that a man had stopped breathing at the site. When police investigated they found a group of five people had become involved in an argument and one of the people walked away from the group and reportedly hitch hiked up Highway 6 toward Provo. The others continued the argument after he left and all but one decided to get in a car and leave. The holdout wouldn't get in so one of the men in the car got out and forced him to the ground and put a hold on him. This apparently led to the man's death, but was not regarded as murder. Instead the man later pleaded guilty to manslaughter.
On July 7, 2008, a 78-year-old man got into an argument with a 31-year-old woman in Helper and tried to shoot her. He instead shot her in the hand as they struggled over the gun and he ran to his car and drove away. Later his car was spotted on Spring Glen Road and police surrounded the car. The man committed suicide before they could talk him out of the vehicle.
The last murder to take place in the county happened in April of 2006, but it was on the border with Emery County south of Columbia. A man was arrested for murder in the killing of his girlfriend. He had attempted to commit suicide after he did it but his brothers stopped him. He was later convicted of first degree murder and sent to prison.
In the area the highest profile murder in the past few years was the 2009 double slaying of William and Charmaine Sharp in Castle Dale by their son. He was later picked up walking down the street. He was later sent to the Utah State Hospital because of mental deficiency.
In addition, vehicular homicide has been initiated in a few cases, and two within the county are pending based on incidents that took place a few weeks ago.

A previous version of this story, published March 15, misstated the extent of Vanguard's response to Schwab's lowering expenses on its ETFs. The story has been corrected.
BOSTON (MarketWatch) — When the biggest names in financial services fight over how to promote the next big investment trend, the clear winner is the consumer.
That's not usually how it works for investors, but this week's announcement of a new working arrangement between mutual-fund giant Fidelity Investments and exchange-traded fund leader BlackRock Inc. — on the heels of the introduction of Schwab's OneSource platform for ETFs — are clear signs that this battle will have numerous cost and accessibility benefits for the investing public. Read more: With BlackRock deal, Fidelity bets on ETFs.
Five ways Warren Buffett invests that you don't
MarketWatch's Jonathan Burton discusses what individual investors can learn from Warren Buffett's investment style. (Photo: AP)
ETFs are essentially index mutual funds that trade like stocks. While the ETF industry holds a fraction of the assets in traditional mutual funds, ETFs' popularity is growing rapidly and are clearly seen as the product of the future for the average investor.
Moreover, ETFs typically have lower costs, are more tax-efficient and unlike traditional funds can be bought and sold throughout the trading day.
The one area where ETFs have lagged in this battle — not inconsequentially — is on trading fees, where even a discounted commission can add up when an investor wants to make regular, small purchases.
On the attack
But now the biggest providers are making ETFs even more attractive. This is war, so pay attention to how you can be the winner.
The action started last fall when BlackRock BLK, -0.65% cut costs on its iShares line, a shot at the Vanguard Group, which had long been acknowledged as the industry's low-cost leader.
In response, Charles Schwab Corp. SCHW, +0.71% dropped fees on its ETFs to make them the lowest-cost entries in their categories; for example, the expense ratio on Schwab U.S. Large Cap SCHX, +0.90% was halved to 0.04%, which — like most of the issues that saw costs trimmed — was 0.01 points better than Vanguard's entries in similar spaces.
Vanguard countered with new benchmarks for nearly two dozen index funds, cutting costs and suggesting its methodology was better.
This year the conflict has escalated. In February, Schwab unveiled its ETF OneSource platform, which allows customers to buy and sell more than 100 ETFs with no online trade commissions.
While Schwab and other firms had offered limited free ETF trades up to this point, Schwab's move represented a significant expansion. More important, while the program was started with 105 funds, it holds the promise of drawing more ETF providers into the fold and making ETF sales charges largely a thing of the past. Read more: The pros and cons of Schwab's ETF OneSource.
Now comes the Fidelity-BlackRock deal, which marries the leader in passive ETF construction with the leading active manager of traditional mutual funds. Read more: Could BlackRock and Fidelity alliance go deeper?

The LA Times recently reported on an Orange County, CA school that had its AP scores invalidated due to inconsistencies and that story is located here. http://tinyurl.com/6zlk6b
Secondly, schools are not told why scores were invalidated, and the SAT/ACT do little to combat cheating according to this article: http://tinyurl.com/6bglry
Are the companies that put out the tests putting an unfair burden on students without due process? And should the kids be punished for not enough proctors? And from the universities' perspective, should they be told if an inconsistency was student-driven or location-driven?
Thankfully none of these situations happened with my son's scores/tests, and his scores/grades have already shown up on his college transcripts, but I can not imagine the stress the families are going through trying to retest. On the other hand, if there were a group cheating and no proctor, would it be fair to the thousands who took the test properly to leave the scores?

Wikipedia wrote:Miller Lite's long-running "Great Taste...Less Filling!" advertising campaign was ranked by Advertising Age magazine as the 8th best advertising campaign in history. The campaign was developed by the ad agency McCann-Erickson Worldwide.[6] In the prime of the campaign, television commercials typically portrayed a Miller Lite drinker noting its great taste followed by another who observed that it was less filling. This usually led to a parody of Wild West saloon fights in which every patron got involved in the dispute for no real reason, though in this case it was always a shouting match, and blows were never thrown. The commercials were closed with a voiceover from actor Eddie Barth who read the slogan, "Lite Beer from Miller; everything you've always wanted in a beer...and less".[7]
I've seen it before and I love it. The ending's great: "Made from Beer".pieces o'nine wrote:Life is too short to skip amusing beer ads.

By OHN SERFUSTINISun Advocate associate editor
For millions of years after the last dinosaur died, a gigantic tropical fresh-water lake covered eastern Utah and the western parts of Wyoming and Colorado. Algae in the lake did what algae do best: grow by absorbing carbon dioxide, and taking tons of carbon with them to the bottom when they died.
Today, what's left of those patient plants is oil shale and tar sands. Those buried deposits contain the equivalent of what some say could be 8 trillion barrels of oil waiting to be extracted, processed and burned for generations in combustion engines.
That's 8 million million barrels.
However, it turns out that Nature has stacked one treasure on top of another over the eons. On top of much of that stored hydrocarbon bonanza is public land with a value as habitat, outdoor recreation and wilderness.
Those are the battle lines. In the latest skirmish along those lines, the Carbon County Commission has joined forces with state and local governments on that ancient lake bed who are demanding that more of the land be opened for oil shale and tar sand (OSTS) development.
Last Wednesday, the commission passed a resolution criticizing the Bureau of Land Management for what the county asserts is an unnecessary and illegal restriction of that development. The resolution contends that the BLM, in proposing only designated portions to be considered for OSTS, is breaking the law. The acreage that could be opened is far short of what would have been allowed under an earlier plan in 2008, the resolution states.
That programmatic environmental impact study was prepared after a three-year effort with input from 14 local, state and federal agencies. It would have opened 2 million acres in the three-state region for oil shale and 430,000 acres for tar sands development.
The county document notes that Congress has repeatedly forbidden the BLM from spending money to "implement, administer or enforce Secretarial Order 3310." This order, issued by the Interior Department in December 2010, angered local and state governments and their Congressional delegations because they considered it to be a unilateral move by the executive branch to make law regarding wild lands. The order was essentially a reversal of the 2008 PEIS.
The new PEIS, issued earlier this year, continues the restrictions that would have been imposed under Order 3310, the county maintains.
The county resolution also states that the BLM is acting in violation of its own Resource Management Plan because it the new proposal is a "piece-meal revision" of the plan without required public input.
The commission is blaming more than the BLM and Interior Department. "The Department of Energy has basically abdicated the responsibility Congress placed upon it to defend and uphold a viable oil shale energy program in America, leaving it instead to the BLM encumbered by a host of anti-oil shale pro-wilderness groups steering BLM's every move."
The county insists that that oil shale technology has advanced to the point where it is not only economically feasible, but requires very little water. Water consumption and process cost have been major impediments to development.

1. Headphones. Definitely a broad topic. My favorite are the brand Skullcandy . Lots of styles, affordable, and great quality! Pink and purple are my go-to colors.
2. Something that I am in desperate need (okay, want, sorry Mom) of this year, this iPod adapter thingy for an older car like the one Isaac and I share. Because radio music can get old too fast when they play the same songs over and over...
3.The Wet Brush Detangle Brush . Last time I went to the salon, the lady who trimmed my hair suggested this because my hair is so long and gets tangled so easy. It works wonders.
5. A subscription to InStyle magazine. Full of great ideas, new trends, fashion advice, cool pictures, and classy clothes! Once I am finished reading a magazine, I look through it and cut out pictures that inspire me and my style and collage them onto my doors.
6. These hair ties from American Eagle are a cute way to finish off an outfit, not to mention that they won't leave marks in your hair after taking them out! My friend wears them on her wrist as cute sporty bracelets too.
7. Jean jacket! The style staple for the season, its a no-brainer! I received this one from American Eagle for a birthday gift and love it.
8. I asked for these Sperrys this year:
11. And when I don't feel the need to lug around my big purse, I love this wristlet:
It doubles as a wallet but it fits my phone and has another little pocket for small makeup items! Perfect for football games or parties. I found it here.
12. Another car accessory but a great stocking stuffer: A car clip air freshener like this one from Bath & Body Works. When Isaac hid bacon scented air fresheners in our car after he left for college, this helped like crazy to make the car actually breathable again. My favorite scent is Island Margarita but there are so many to choose from!
13. One of my absolute favorite Christmas presents last year from my grandma was this Color Daze Blockbuster from Sephora. For girls that love experimenting with makeup and trying new techniques, this set comes with it all: Mascara, blush, eyeliners, lip gloss, eyeshadow, luminizer, and brushes. It could also be a good starter kit.
14. Pink yoga pants and leggings are definitely on my list for this year. So comfortable and easy to slip on after a long day of school.
Hope this helps!
