Participants instructed to read fast were subsequently instructed to either do their best reading, or do their best reading because they would answer questions. Both group decreased their WCPM to baseline levels. The ease of inflating WCPM scores during oral reading fluency assessments and the need for comprehension measures in these assessments will be discussed. Speaker(s): Bethany E.

They were a hit with the little man. Note all the fruit still sitting on his plate. He finally ate some of it once all the donuts were gone.
all this came from my garden :D
These donuts were better than the last time I made them. My daughter is convinced that it was her special touch that made them better. I'm pretty sure it was the dark cocoa powder, but I'm not going to burst her culinary bubble. Still not the same as eating a full fat, fried doughnut...but they are evil and should be avoided ;)
Have a great weekend!!

Anchors are a good thing. Vanessa can take my anchor comment however she wants, but anchors hold you steady, and that's not a bad thing. It's like saying, "You're my rock." Women love hearing that, and rocks just sit there doing nothing. (But don't tell Vanessa that unless you want a lengthy lecture on geology.) Rock, good; anchor, bad? It makes no sense.
And it works both ways. I'm probably keeping Vanessa from doing a million things that she thinks might be fun, like go live under the Tuscan sun or whatever, and she should thank me for that. Because despite how it's portrayed in the movies, Tuscany is full of soccer-loving Euros. No one wants to watch the World Cup year-round, but that's essentially what they do over there. They've got the wine, sure…but at what price? You need all that booze just to get through another zero-zero tie.
Now, none of this means that Vanessa and I shouldn't do our own things from time to time. That's just healthy. I love Vanessa. She's the best wife a guy could ever ask for. But sometimes, I need to be able to talk sports and firearms with a bunch of dudes who won't clear the area if I pass gas. (And the office doesn't count.) Parsnips are good for you, but if you ate them at every meal every day, you'd probably die. Luckily, my anchor knows to go easy on the parsnips. And not just because they make me gassy.

On Friday, Standard & Poor's kept its word and downgraded the U.S. credit rating for the first time in history — from AAA to AA+. The action came because the debt bill passed last week is not considered stringent enough to stabilize the debt crisis. Treasury Secretary Tim Geithner (pictured) has already railed against the credit agency, saying it has shown "terrible judgment" in its decision, but some are using the rating downgrade to call for Geithner's resignation, a move that Geithner had already been considering. At the behest of President Obama, however, Geithner has decided to stay for now.
"Secretary Geithner has let the president know that he plans to stay on in his position at Treasury," Jenni LeCompte, assistant secretary for public affairs, said in a statement today in Washington. "He looks forward to the important work ahead on the challenges facing our great country."

BOWLING GREEN, Ky. – WKU (14-5, 6-2) hosts Texas State (7-11, 4-3) on Saturday afternoon at 4:30 p.m. CT in the annual Play4Kay game in E.A. Diddle Arena. Fans are encouraged to wear pink in support of breast cancer awareness and in recognition of the legacy of former NC State coach Kay Yow. The Lady Toppers will be wearing pink uniforms for the contest with the first 500 fans set to receive a pink rally towel.
The game will be televised by the Hilltopper Sports Satellite Network on ESPN3, ESPN Full Court and on WKU PBS in the Bowling Green, Ky. area. The game marks the final game for the Lady Toppers before reaching the mid-point of conference play. The Lady Toppers ride a three-game winning streak into the contest with Texas State, having won road games at ULM and Louisiana-Lafayette in addition to a home contest with UT Arlington Wednesday night.
In addition, a silent auction will be held beginning at 3:30 p.m. CT in the Hall of Champions to benefit the Kay Yow Cancer Fund. Signed items from head coach Michelle Clark-Heard, Ray Harper, the 2013-14 Lady Toppers and WKU legend Crystal Kelly are among the items available for auction. The auction will close at the conclusion of halftime intermission of the men's game that follows the Lady Topper game. Donation buckets will be passed around during the game to support the Kay Yow Cancer Fund.
The Kay Yow Cancer Fund was officially founded on December 3, 2007 from the vision of the organization's namesake Kay Yow, former NC State University head women's basketball coach. Coach Yow was first diagnosed with breast cancer in 1987 before succumbing to the disease on January 24, 2009. The Kay Yow Cancer Fund is a 501 (c)(3) charitable organization committed to being a part of finding an answer in the fight against women's cancers through raising money for scientific research, assisting the underserved, and unifying people for a common cause. Coach Yow believed strongly that coaches share not only a community, but should also share in a cause much larger than the game. To date, the Kay Yow Cancer Fund has supported more than $2.6 million in women's cancer research and related projects. For more information on the Kay Yow Cancer Fund or to make a donation, please visit www.Play4Kay.org.
Yow's coaching career spanned more than 38 years, including 34 with NC State. She had a record of 737-344, which encompassed 20 NCAA championship bids, a Women's Final Four appearance in 1998 and four ACC Tournament championships. She also coached the U.S. Olympic women's team to a gold medal in 1988 and was inducted into the Women's Basketball Hall of Fame in 2000, the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame in 2002 and the inaugural NC State Hall of Fame in October, 2012. Yow won the inaugural Jimmy V ESPNY for Perseverance award in 2007.
The Lady Toppers learned more about Yow earlier this season when women's basketball ambassador Debbie Antonelli visited the WKU campus to talk with the team.
Junior All-America candidate Chastity Gooch remains near the top of most Sun Belt Conference statistical rankings. Gooch is currently averaging 21.6 points and 9.1 rebounds per contest in league play. She is one of three players averaging double figures in league play for WKU. Sophomore Micah Jones is posting 12.5 points and 3.3 rebounds per contest. She is shooting 56.3 percent from behind the three-point arc and 49.1 percent from the field. Redshirt freshman Kendall Noble rounds out the Lady Toppers in double figures in league play at 11.0 points per game as she has converted on 46.6 percent of his shot attempts. She has piled up a team-best 29 assists in league play.
Single-game tickets for the remainder of the 2013-14 season are currently available for purchase by contacting the WKU Ticket Office. For more information, visit www.wkusports.com, call 1-800-5-BIG-RED or visit the ticket office in E.A. Diddle Arena.

Visanthe Shiancoe joins deep Patriots tight end group for $1.2 million
Get the 1500 ESPN SportsWire delivered to your inbox daily, and keep up with all the news in Twin Cities Sports
As expected, Visanthe Shiancoe ended up on a roster for training camp.
The free-agent tight end agreed to a one-year, $1.2 million deal with the New England Patriots on Tuesday, shortly after completing a workout with the Philadelphia Eagles, according to several reports.
The deal included $400,000 in guarantees and Shiancoe can earn another $800,000 in incentives, ProFootballTalk.com reported.
Shiancoe, 32, spent the past five seasons in Minnesota and had his best season in 2009, catching 56 passes for 566 yards and 11 touchdowns.
But his production dipped the past two seasons, he ceded snaps to rookie Kyle Rudolph as last season went on and the Vikings moved on by signing John Carlson to a five-year, $25 million deal shortly after free agency began in March.
Shiancoe turned down a $1.2 million from Seattle earlier in the offseason and hoped to latch on to a contender. He got wish with the Patriots, who already boasted one of the NFL's best tight end groups with Rob Gronkowski and Aaron Hernandez.

CEDAR SPRINGS, Mich. (WZZM) -- A Cedar Springs girl has a new "robo-hand" thanks to a teacher and a 3D printer.
Harmony Taylor, 4, was born without a right hand. She outgrew her previous prosthetic and insurance wouldn't cover the cost of a new one.
The new "robo-hand" cost about $500 using cables, screws, and a 3D printer at West Catholic High School.
The robotics team at West Catholic and Mary Free Bed Rehabilitation Hospital teamed up to give Harmony her new hand Thursday morning.

Today's how to marketing post is about the WordPress theme Genesis, my take on the theme and a review of its pros and cons.
Having set up hundreds of sites over the years, both for my business and my customers, I can tell you that finding the right theme that works best for marketing was a long and arduous process. But the good news is that now I have a well oiled machine that lets me set up a blog, fully loaded in about 10 hours (including writing the posts and about us and contact pages!)
Major WordPress Themes A History Lesson
When you hear "theme" you might hear boring and blah, just like everyone else and that was the case years ago. Today's themes are dynamic, bold and very stabile to work with. The reason that I chose to go with Genesis was sort of a long and drawn out process over the years. In case you are wondering, with the exception of Socrates, I have lifetime developer access to each of the themes so cost is not a variable in my recommendations.
My very first premium theme that I bought was the Thesis theme by DIY. At the time (about 7 years ago), it was the only player on the market and it was a great way to get my feet wet on setting up a blog. It had some really easy plug and play features that worked great and I used it almost exclusively until they rolled out Thesis 2. Now, if you are a "blog designer" or want a lot of custom setup features for your websites, Thesis 2 may be your answer. For me it is way more work than it is worth to have a site that will look mostly like the ones I have now!
Headway was the next theme I used for a bit. It was marginally easier to use than Thesis 2 but it breaks much more frequently during the WordPress updates. Not a theme that I can recommend in good conscious, hence the lack of a link!
Socrates is made by a gentleman named Dan Nickerson who I know makes great products and has tremendous customer service. While I have not ever used Socrates, I can recommend Dan highly and in the spirit of giving real choices, you might want to take a peek at his product!
All in one solutions like Rainmaker or Hubspot
One last thing I want to touch on before I get to Genesis is an "all-in-one" solution like Rainmaker or Hubspot. These are great because they are comprehensive solutions that oftentimes have monitoring and social media integration built right in. If you are a well established company with a pretty big marketing budget and a tech team, these are great solutions. If not, I prefer knowing that I have a site that can be moved to another host anytime I want (I use Godaddy and have been happy with their service). If you have an all-in-one and decide to stop paying, you lose all the traction that you have gained and pretty much have to start over from scratch instead of just moving to new host.
I really and truly love the Genesis theme. It is a super quick setup and the "child themes" make your site look pretty right from the start. (A child theme is a specific look and feel that you pick which makes your site look pretty). That said, there are definitely some pros and cons to consider.
Super easy to find a look and feel you LOVE. Currently there are 51 different looks and feels that you can choose from! That said, I tend use a few of them more than others. My main site, MarketingArtfully.com is built using the Enterprise Pro Child Theme.
A really fun real estate site that we just finished giving a facelift looks great with the Agent Press Pro theme.
And one last one, Agency Theme, to get you thinking about what you want your website to look like!
There are many other "pros" including:
- You can just pop scripts for your Analytics right into special boxes (no coding required)
- There are plugins built exclusively for Genesis
- If you need someone to work on your site, there are thousands of developers to choose from
- Genesis blogs rank really well for SEO with the built in tools
If you have any questions about purchasing the Genesis theme, please feel free to shoot me an email and I will be happy to answer or make a video for you! tara (at) marketingartfully.com.
Notes About Themes
One last thing. I have had many people over the years ask me if they should buy a theme or hire a designer to work on their site for them. Here are a few considerations that you should mind if you are thinking of going the DIY route.
Good Enough
It is tempting to find a site that you love the looks of and demand that yours be just like it. I think this is a huge mistake. For most businesses a straight template with amazing content will be the perfect looking site that has 5 wimpy pages every day. Worry more about what you are going to put on the pages than about what those pages look like.
No matter what template you buy, it will not come pre-loaded with graphics. You will need to purchase pictures from a stock photo site like istockphoto.com or depositphotos.com or use your own. Sometimes getting the pictures formatted for the theme is the worst part of the process!
Make sure you have Google Analytics loaded onto your blog site. Adding your site to the Google Webmaster tools is also a great idea!
RSS Feeds
The power of a blog is the RSS feed that reaches out and taps Google and the other search engines each time you make a post. It is worth your time to set up more than just the built in "pinging" platform in the writing section of sections. We have over a hundred sites that we ping each time a blog post goes out!
Well there you have it, my WordPress Genesis Review. As with all my posts here, there are possibly affiliate links which means that I might have access to potential discounts or could receive a couple of bucks if you go ahead and buy a product. That said, my opinions are my own and your are welcome to email me to find out more!

The Very Reverend Constantine (Dean) Moralis
Father Constantine Moralis was born in Baltimore, Maryland on December 30, 1966 and is the youngest of three children to Peter and Sarah Moralis. He was baptized at the Cathedral on July 30, 1967.
Upon graduation from Towson High School in 1984, he worked for the Attorney General's Office of Maryland for two years. In 1986, he began working for Towson Ford Sales in Baltimore until 1988. From the time he was 13 years old, his parents owned a concession stand where he worked during the summer months, and eventually while attending college in the evening.
In September 1988, he enrolled in Hellenic College/Holy Cross School of Theology in Brookline, Massachusetts. During his tenure at the school, he served in many capacities. He was a prison chaplain for six years at a maximum security penitentiary. Father Dean also served as Student Government Treasurer, and later as President. He assumed responsibilities as a hospital minister at the Hellenic Nursing Home for two years. He also served on the National Council of Christians and Jews (NCCJ), where he had the chance to interact with many faith groups. During his entire course of study, he led many youth and young adult retreats.
In 1995, Father Dean traveled to Greece to serve as a counselor and group leader for the Ionian Village summer camp program. He has served as one of the chaplains since 1996, and has been head chaplain since 1998.
Upon graduation from Holy Cross in 1994, he began working as a parish assistant and youth director for the Annunciation Cathedral in Baltimore. He began serving as a campus minister at Johns Hopkins University, created two new youth groups, and continued work with the existing groups. He has an active role in the youth of our community.
Metropolitan Silas of New Jersey ordained Father Dean a Deacon on February 11, 1996, and Priest on June 9, 1996 at the Annunciation Cathedral where he currently serves.
Since 2000, Father Dean has been appointed to the Board of Trustees to the Academy of Saint Basil, a home away from home for Orthodox children, in Garrison, New York, where he currently serves as vice president. Since 1998, he has served as a chaplain to the Baltimore City Police Department.
He was elevated to the rank of Spiritual Father by Archbishop Demetrios of America on April 16, 2000. On August 4, 2002, Father Dean was elevated to the dignity of Archimandrite and installed as Dean of the Annunciation Cathedral in Baltimore, Maryland by his Eminence Archbishop Demetrios of America. Father Dean was appointed to the Greek Orthodox Metropolis of New Jersey Council for 2004-2006. Father Dean also serves as a member of the Board of Trustees for Hellenic College/Holy Cross Greek Orthodox School of Theology from 2004-2006. He was elected to serve as a member of the Greek Orthodox Archdiocesan Council for a two year term beginning this year.
Andreas G. Houpos, Pastoral Assistant
Beginning July 15, 2014, the Cathedral will be served by our new Pastoral Assistant, Andreas Houpos. Andreas is a 2014 graduate of Holy Cross Greek Orthodox School of Theology in Brookline, Massachusetts, earning a Master's of Divinity with Highest Distinction. He also received a Certificate in Byzantine Music. It is the first such certificate awarded outside of Greece and Lebanon, and he along with six others received this distinction through the efforts of Dr. Karanos, professor of Byzantine Chant at Holy Cross.
He is married to Meredyth, who is a software developer for the Greek Orthodox Archdiocese of America. Meredyth is from Richmond, Virginia, where her mother resides. Andreas is from Portsmouth, Virginia. His parents reside in that area.
We had an opportunity to welcome Andreas over the last year, especially during Holy Week. Andreas will assume responsibilities of Pastoral Assistant, youth ministry, Bible Study, Orthodoxy lessons, as well as working with the existing talented members of our community to continue to develop the sacred art of Byzantine chant, promulgating the sacred music of the Church. In addition, Andreas will make some ministry calls to our faithful.
Andreas is a member of the Archdiocesan Byzantine Choir. Most recently the Choir chanted sacred hymns at Hagia Irene Church in Constantinople on the feast of Saint Andrew, in November, 2013. Present at that concert were the members of the Holy and Sacred Patriarchal Synod of Constantinople which included His All Holiness Ecumenical Patriarch Bartholomew, His Eminence Archbishop Demetrios of America and His Eminence Metropolitan Evangelos of New Jersey. Andreas is also a member of the Holy Cross School of Theology choir, which released the project All Creation Trembled, a recording of the sacred hymns of Holy Thursday.
Andreas has participated in and facilitated a number of youth and young adult gatherings/retreats throughout our Archdiocese. He was also a religious education instructor at his home parish of the Greek Orthodox Cathedral of the Annunciation in Norfolk, Virginia.
We welcome the opportunity to bring to our parish a graduate of Holy Cross, showing support to that spiritual institution and benefitting from Andreas' education and love for Orthodoxy.

-- Movie review --
Mystery, thrills and Mona Lisa
By Ruthie Harper
TheDa Vinci Code begins with a murder.
Robert Langdon, played by Tom Hanks, is a Harvard symbology professor who is visiting Paris for a few days to lecture.
Tom Hanks and Audrey Tautou
When Langdon meets Sophie Neveu (Audrey Tautou), a cryptologist and Saunière's granddaughter, the two escape the Louvre after decoding the message the dying Saunière left behind.
The intelligent pair race their way through Paris in hopes of solving the code and escaping the French police.
Before their journey ends, Langdon and Neveu go to Lee Teabing's château. Teabing is an English colleague of Langdon and a Holy Grail fanatic; he helps they by informing Sophie of information on the grail and then flying with them on his private jet to England, where the search continues.
The ending is a twist that you'd never suspect -- unless, of course, you've read the book
Without a doubt, this movie is an astonishing mix of mystery, thriller and action. It also makes you think: what are your beliefs?
The Da Vinci Code movie stresses that only you can decide what you believe in. It's a movie that everyone should see, even if they haven't read the book.

Sanctuary in the Wilderness: A Critical Introduction to American Hebrew PoetryBy Alan Mintz (Stanford University Press, 520 pp., $65) I. ON DECEMBER 17, 2007, on the storied stage of the Poetry Center of the 92nd Street Y in New York, the Hebrew language—its essence, its structure, its metaphysic— entered American discourse in so urgent a manner as to renew, if not to inflame, an ancient argument. The occasion was a public conversation between Marilynne Robinson and Robert Alter: a not uncommon match of novelist with literary scholar.

Kevin Love is Western Conference Player of the Week for second time
Get the 1500 ESPN SportsWire delivered to your inbox daily, and keep up with all the news in Twin Cities Sports
The NBA on Monday named Kevin Love the Western Conference Player of the Week for the second time this season.
Love set a club record with five consecutive games in which he scored 30 or more points.
Here are some notes on Love's stretch of incredible basketball, courtesy of the team's public relations department.
Love averaged 36.7 ppg on 57.1% shooting, 12.7 rpg and 3.7 apg. He had 13 treys (46.4% from 3) and 25 free throws (86.2% from the line)— Timberwolves PR (@Twolves_PR) February 24, 2014
Love then recorded the first triple-double of his career during the week with 37 pts, 12 rebs and a career-high 10 assists vs. Utah on Sat.— Timberwolves PR (@Twolves_PR) February 24, 2014
The Wolves lost to the Blazers in demoralizing fashion Sunday. Love, however, had a strong individual game. It was his 10th consecutive game with 25 or more points and 10 or more rebounds.
The game was Love's 10th straight 25+ point, 10+ rebound game, the longest streak in the NBA since Shaquille O'Neal had 13 in 2001— Timberwolves PR (@Twolves_PR) February 24, 2014
After being named Player of the Week for the West, Love posted this to his Instagram and Twitter accounts:
Can always throw this movie on when I'm feeling down. Within the first 10 minutes I am moved through... http://t.co/8tDjByDoxv— Kevin Love (@kevinlove) February 24, 2014
Cheer up, Kevin. The accolade is a good thing. But the outlook for the team is considerably less optimistic now than it was the first time he won the award, in the first week of the season.

Spurrier: Garcia decision to come during summer
Despite quarterback Stephen Garcia's suspension, South Carolina coach Steve Spurrier hasn't lost track of the rising fifth-year senior.
Spurrier said during the SEC's annual spring teleconference Wednesday that he's stayed in contact with Garcia, who was suspended for the fifth time in his career for a behavior issue.
The Head Ball Coach also said he wants his QB back — and possibly when.
"Hopefully it'll work out that he'll back with us with maybe a lot better attitude than he's ever had," Spurrier said. "It'll be a university decision, probably happen sometime during the summer."
For Garcia to get back in the good graces of the school, Spurrier said he'd have to meet several unknown requirements.
"We'll have to check his progress and see how he's reacting to some certain issues the athletic director, the president and I, we've all three started giving him some guidelines. We'll see how he follows through."
Garcia, who threw for 3,059 yards, 20 touchdowns and 14 interceptions while leading USC to an SEC East title in 2010, ranks third all-time on the school's passing yards list.
He missed two weeks of spring practice because of suspensions for two different incidents. The second was handed down April 6 by athletic director Eric Hyman and is indefinite. There are reports that the transgression occurred during an SEC-mandated seminar for student-athletes, yet nothing has been confirmed by the school or Garcia.
Spurrier said Garcia is on pace to graduate in May, giving him another option.
"With his degree in hand, obviously he's eligible to play anywhere in the country and he's got another year remaining," Spurrier said.
However, there's no indication at this time that Garcia is looking to play elsewhere, and some of his teammates have publicly stood behind him through the latest ordeal.
"We may not agree with the decisions that he made, actions that he did, but we're still a family and we still work hard," running back Kenny Miles said after USC's spring game April 9. "At the end of the day we're still brothers and we're all fighting for the same common goal."
Garcia has continued to be active. Earlier this week, he worked out with former receiver Tori Gurley, who's enrolled early for the NFL draft.
Should things not work out for Garcia, Spurrier is ready to hand the keys over to rising sophomore Connor Shaw.
"Certainly if Stephen doesn't make it back we have complete confidence Connor Shaw can run this offense and be a very good quarterback," Spurrier said. "We just think he needs a lot of playing time, a lot of snaps."
Noted; Spurrier said Wednesday he's looking forward to the incoming freshmen class and that he reminded his coaches that the team, especially at special teams, will look different.
"Our team is not what it's going to be until September rolls around and we get ready for the first game against East Carolina," he said.

Oklahoma City gambler Teddy Mitchell has agreed to plead guilty.
His plea in his illegal gambling case is scheduled for July 8 in Oklahoma City federal court.
Oklahoma City gambler Teddy Mitchell has agreed to plead guilty.
His plea in his illegal gambling case is scheduled for July 8 in Oklahoma City federal court.
"Teddy admitted that he did some things that were wrong," defense attorney Scott Adams said Tuesday. "He just wants to put this matter behind him and focus on his family and taking care of his daughter and trying to find out who murdered his wife. And that's where all of his energies are."
U.S. District Judge David Russell will decide later how much time Mitchell must serve in prison.
"He's going to plead guilty to a gambling count … and one of the money laundering counts," Adams said.
Mitchell, 58, was accused last year in a federal indictment of illegally making millions of dollars by hosting high-stakes poker games at his Oklahoma City home and by taking bets on sporting events.
Before reaching a deal, he faced 49 counts. The jury trial was set for August.
The gambling case attracted widespread public attention because Mitchell's wife, Julie, 34, was brutally beaten to death in their home in November 2010. Teddy Mitchell was traveling out of the state at the time.
Her body was found in a closet where a safe was. Her unharmed daughter, London, then 1, was found beside her in a pool of blood.
Adams said again Tuesday that a $50,000 reward is being offered for information leading to the arrest of whoever is responsible for the beating death.

Ultra-Lite SPF 30 Oil-Free Sunscreen isn't as light as the name states, but this is a smooth, thin-textured lotion that provides light hydration without feeling thick or greasy. It provides excellent broad-spectrum protection that includes reliable UVA screening from stabilized avobenzone.
Best for normal to combination skin, this fragrance-free sunscreen is easy to apply and boosts skin's defenses with vitamin-based antioxidants. All told, it's a welcome addition to Roth's stable of sunscreens. The only potential concern is price; all sunscreens must be applied liberally in order to provide the stated level of protection. So, with a pricier sunscreen for the body you have to be sure you'll be good about liberal application, a fact that means you'll be replacing this more often, which adds up. Definitely not a deal-breaker in terms of our recommendation, but something to consider before deciding to purchase.
This ultra-lite, fast absorbing sunscreen lotion provides sheer broad spectrum protection against UVA/ UVB rays. Also with soothing allantoin and aloe, pro vitamin B5 and anti-oxidant vitamins A, C & E. Fragrance-free.
ACTIVE INGREDIENTS: Avobenzone 3%, Homosalate 10%, Octisalate 5%, Octocrylene 2.25%, Oxybenzone 6% INACTIVE INGREDIENTS: Allantoin, Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Juice, Alumina, Ascorbyl Palmitate, C12-C15 Alkyl Benzoate, Caprylic/ Capric Triglyceride, Carbomer, Cetyl Alcohol, Dimethicone, Glyceryl Caprylate, Glyceryl Stearate, Magnesium Ascorbyl Phosphate, Panthenol, PEG -100 Stearate, Phenoxyethanol, Phospholipids, Polyglyceryl- 2 Caprate, Potassium Sorbate, Propylene Glycol, Retinyl Palmitate, Sodium Benzoate, Squalane, Stearic Acid, Sucrose Stearate, Tetrasodium EDTA, Titanium Dioxide, Tocopheryl Acetate, Triethanolamine, Water/Aqua/Eau.
Peter Thomas Roth At-A-Glance
Strengths: Provides complete ingredient lists on Web site; most products are fragrance-free; very good AHA products; wide selection of water-soluble cleansers and scrubs; some excellent sunscreens, benzoyl peroxide products, and many antioxidant-rich formulas.
Weaknesses: Can be pricey; some products contain irritants; jar packaging for several products that contain air and light sensitive ingredients.
Unique in the world of spa and salon specialty lines, Peter Thomas Roth is a large but straightforward line with mostly uncomplicated formulations that, for the most part, are quite good and state-of-the-art. Unlike many product lines, most of the acne, AHA, BHA, sunscreen, and moisturizing products contain what they should to be effective and helpful for skin.
A novel aspect of this line is that there are few (if any) nonsense ingredients. Roth products conspicuously lack the exotic, potentially irritating, sensitizing, and often unnecessary plant extracts and the irritating, fragrant plant oils that show up in most pricey skin-care lines, especially spa lines. Many of these are fragrance free, and lack the long lists of complicated ingredients—all great qualities for any skincare brand.
Even more impressive are the well-formulated cleansers, sunscreens, AHA products, and skin lighteners. The moisturizers have improved somewhat, and most are now packaged so that the light- and air-sensitive ingredients remain stable. In fact, Roth's packaging deserves special mention because it is exceptionally utilitarian and gender-friendly.
No pretty pink bottles, sexy curved jars, or bejeweled caps— which reinforces the clinical nature of Peter Thomas Roth. Overall, this line should be admired for its simplicity and, for the most part, for its well-thought-out formulations.
After all that glowing praise, what you should be aware of are the instances of products containing potential irritants (noted in their respective reviews) as well as the products in jar packaging that contain ingredients which are sensitive to air and light.

I love the fact this it has antioxidants, but the texture is super drying(and I have oily skin)and it does NOT protect my skin from the Florida sun. I do not recommend this sunblock. Perhaps the ingredients are unstable?
This product made my face look like an oil slick (and I have dry skin)! I think I will stick to facial products with non-chemical sunscreens. Products with avobenzone are fine for my body, but make my face look way too shiny.

BLOOMINGTON, Minn. – Six additional counties have been designated for all categories of Public Assistance as part of Minnesota's federal disaster declaration, according to officials from the Minnesota Division of Emergency Management and the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA).
The announcement makes federal funding available to local governments and certain private nonprofit organizations on a cost-sharing basis for emergency work and the repair or replacement of facilities damaged by severe storms, tornadoes and flooding that occurred June 17-26 in the counties of Blue Earth, Brown, Houston, Kittson, Nicollet and Sibley.
This brings the total number of counties designated for Public Assistance to 13. The counties previously designated are: Faribault, Freeborn, Olmsted, Otter Tail, Polk, Steele and Wadena.
Under the cost-share program, FEMA funds at least 75 percent of the cost for eligible work by local governments and certain private non-profit organizations. Additional designations may be made at a later date if requested by the state and warranted by the results of further damage assessments.
Additional information about this disaster is available at www.FEMA.gov
FEMA's mission is to support our first responders and ensure that as a nation we work together to build, sustain, and improve our capability to prepare for, protect against, respond to, recover from, and mitigate all hazards.

It's no surprise that many
and feminize them, is it?
Older women naturally become more sexually dominant as they age and many have taken to sexual role reversal and forcing their males to don female clothing and become sweet obedient sissies and fem boys....so why not go all the way and make them cross dress too?
We ALL know that in a successful marriage it's the WOMAN who wears the pants, right?
...and sometimes the COCK too!

No one knows what it'll be called, but it's coming.
"I'm sure you will agree, it would be a bit odd to have a powerful, luxurious and refined V8 powered Infiniti M56, then position a new high-tech 550+ horsepower performance flagship for the Infiniti M range above it, using a potent charged induction V6," de Nysschen said in a press release explaining the nomenclature change, "but then call it Infiniti M30, which we would be obliged to do, following our current naming logic."
Now, Infiniti currently gets around this problem by deleting the numbers from the model name and slapping IPL on the badge—for example, the high-performance IPL-tuned G37 Coupe becomes the IPL G Coupe. Obviously, if this were the sole reason for the change, it'd be a weak one—there's no reason they couldn't just call it the Infiniti IPL M, or the Infiniti M Sedan IPL, or the Infiniti Cooler Than Bill Murray for all anyone else would care. And de Nysschen makes that clear as well—other reasons include current hierarchy confusion among some potential customers ("Honey, what's better, the letter G or the letter M?"), a lack of other appropriate un-trademarked alphanumeric car names ("I really like this car, but I just can't drive something named the ASS70"), and the fact that they already own the Q- and QX- trademarks.
But back to the main story—Infiniti's potent M super-sedan. Now, de Nysschen's phrasing is cagey, but it seems like a 550 horsepower super sedan to fight the E63 AMG and BMW M4 is just the sort of product Infiniti needs to bump them up to the next level. Honestly, the biggest shock here is the idea that Infiniti may have whipped up a 3.0 liter forced-induction V6 that makes 550 horsepower. Even Porsche needs 3.6 liters to get a turbo 911 with that kind of power, and they've been building those engines for ages. [via Infiniti]

Attorney Richard Miadich, who represents one of the plaintiffs, said the judge has 90 days. That leaves open the question of whether the lawsuit will be decided before the Nov. 2 elections.
A grassroots campaign led by Citizens for Fair and Responsible Pension Reform gathered enough signatures to have the initiative placed on the ballot. The initiative seeks to raise the retirement age for new, non-police public employees five years to 60, and also decrease their pension payments.
Two unions, Service Employees International Union Local 521 (SEIU) and American Federation of State County and Municipal Employees Local 829 (AFSCME), filed the lawsuit to argue that only the City Council has the authority to change pension compensation.
Free-speech zone
At the final Chamber of Commerce block party of the summer on Aug. 11 in downtown Menlo Park, two groups appeared to enjoy their new positions within the established free-speech areas.
Nancy Couperus, founding member of the Menlo Park Downtown Alliance, a group of business and property owners who promote an alternative to the city's downtown development plan, said 60 people signed the alliance's petition this time.
The alliance clashed with the chamber during the last block party for advocating the alternative from a table in front of Posh Bagel, on property owned by Ms. Couperus. The chamber drew criticism for saying the alliance had to be in a free speech zone, but not asking representatives of the Bohannon Gateway Project to do likewise.
On Aug. 11, however, the alliance sat on Crane Street, with tables lined up at the border of Santa Cruz Ave. where the action was. "One young woman came up to us and put her foot across the sidewalk line, saying, 'Oh, I don't think I feel any difference here; this free-speech zone doesn't seem to be affecting me at all," said Ms. Couperus.
And the Bohannon Gateway Project? Representatives were working the crowd from another free-speech zone a bit further down the block from the alliance.
M-A class reunion
The Menlo-Atherton High School Class of 1970 will celebrate its 40th reunion on Saturday, Aug. 28, at the Crown Plaza Cabaña in Palo Alto. Members of the class, along with spouses, friends and family, are invited.
Cocktails by the pool start at 6 p.m., followed by dinner on the terrace at 7:30 p.m., then dessert, dancing, and catching up. Tickets are $100, or two for $190, and will not be sold at the door.
Go to MenloAtherton1970.myevent.com for more information.
Outdoor movie
The Portola Valley Cultural Arts Committee invites the community to watch a free movie "under the stars" on Friday, Aug. 20, at the courtyard lawn of the Portola Valley Town Center.
The movie, "Pirates of the Caribbean — the Curse of the Black Pearl," will be shown at 8 p.m. Popcorn, non-alcoholic drinks and treats will be sold, said Deirdre Clark, co-chair of the committee.
"Folks are encouraged to come at 6:30 to picnic, socialize and listen to music CDs from local bands," she said. "We welcome your family and friends. Bring jackets, blankets and a picnic. Dogs are welcome on a leash."

UIS faculty member inducted into Lincoln League of Journalists
September 26, 2006
SPRINGFIELD – Charles N. Wheeler III, director of the Public Affairs Reporting program at the University of Illinois at Springfield, has been inducted into the Lincoln League of Journalists of the Illinois Associated Press Editors Association. The honor was announced September 21 at the IAPEA annual awards banquet, held at the Abraham Lincoln Presidential Library and Museum in Springfield.
Wheeler becomes only the seventh member of the League, which was created in 2000 to honor "men and women who have provided exemplary service to other journalists and to daily newspapers published in Illinois."
The IAPEA executive board solicits nominations each year and inducts as many or as few nominees as it chooses. Inductees are presented with a memento of the occasion and their names are inscribed on a marker permanently displayed in the Chicago bureau of The Associated Press.

Wilson, former bureau chief for The Associated Press in Illinois; Patrick Coburn, former publisher of the State Journal-Register; John Foreman, editor and publisher of the Champaign News-Gazette; Mike Lawrence, director of the Institute of Public Policy at Southern Illinois University-Carbondale, former press aide to Gov. Jim Edgar, and longtime Illinois political and legislative reporter; and John David Reed, former professor of journalism at Eastern Illinois University.
Wheeler, a former Statehouse bureau chief for the Chicago Sun-Times, came to UIS following a 24-year career with the paper, 19 of them at the Statehouse. During that time, he was elected to 16 consecutive one-year terms as president of the Illinois Legislative Correspondents Association and served for many years on the PAR program and admissions committees.
Public Affairs Reporting is a one-year master's degree program focusing on coverage of state government news. In addition to academic work, students serve six-month internships with newspaper, magazine, radio, television, wire service, or audio news service bureaus in the Statehouse pressroom in Springfield.For more information, go to the IAPEA website at www.iapea.org/ or contact Wheeler at 206-7494.

Cincinnati Bell Fioptics + Series 2 = no TiVo???
Aug 9, 2012 at 11:30:15 PM | #1
After years of DirecTV slowly jacking up my rates and cutting my service I finally decided to try a different TV provider. My local telco Cincinnati Bell has been pushing their 'Fioptics' branded TV service with some really great deals so I decided to give them a try. When I signed up I asked the salesman if I could use my TiVo and he said it should be fine. CableCards aren't supported in my area so that means older Series 1 or 2 only...or so you would think.
Well, the installer came out today and put everything in while my wife was home, and when I got home I set about running the guided setup again. Well, first I hooked the new cable boxes up to my TiVo's since the goofball installed just hooked them straight into the TV with a composite cable, and THEN I started the guided setup. My problem came when it got to setting up channel changing. It turns out Cincinnati Bell is using some oddball box made by ZTE, model ZXV10 B700V3A. There is no ZTE listed in the TiVo manufacturer list (although it did recognize that Cincinnati Bell is a service provider...must be for the luck few with CableCards.) I called Cincinnati Bell and the script-reader on the other end informed me that they didn't have any IR codes for their cable box. Their remotes are programmed just for their boxes. Nevermind the fact that the remote that came with the new boxes was just a generic universal remote. So, I gave up on those idiots and chatted with a TiVo support rep. They told me to try the COMCAST DIGITAL ADAPTER option in the manufacturers list. I tried it, on both of my Series 2 units, and it didn't work on either one. My IR blasters were hooked up correctly and working fine. I told the support chat person this, and they told me I was out of luck. Next was the most surprising part: I asked the TiVo rep who I should email or contact to ask about getting this box supported and he told me they were no longer providing updates for the Series 2 units! At that point I just closed the chat window rather than blasting the poor tech with a stream of very unhappy words.
Not to be denied I continued the search for some sort of solution on my own and found an IR code listed in the documentation for the universal remote that came with the new cable boxes. It claimed it was 21972. So, I got into the advanced channel setup menu and tried to manually enter 21972. No dice. That code didn't exist in the list of options, even in the advanced setup!
At this point, I went into my basement and un-did everything that the installer had done, hooking my old DirecTV equipment back up, and tomorrow I will be taking a big box of brand new equipment back to Cincinnati Bell to cancel my new service. I can't really express how upset I am with this whole situation, but suffice it to say I haven't been this angry in several years. I'm mad at Cincinnati Bell for using some no-name IPTV box and for being totally wrong about their service working with a TiVo. I'm also mad at them for only offering CableCards to some customers, and not others with no info or idea of when they might be available. I'm upset with TiVo for compounding this issue by ceasing updates to Series2 TiVo's. I'm now wondering if I can switch my TV service AT ALL without running into the same issue. I mean, I have no idea if the newer DirecTV boxes or whatever boxes Time Warner is using will be supported in my old-school list of IR codes. I'd consider upgrading to a Series3 or 4, but they ONLY record off of CableCARD and there is exactly one provider in my area that supports them at all, and then only with a tuning adapter. At that point, if I'm locked in to a single provider anyway, why not just switch to their home-grown DVR's?
I love my TiVo's, and I would hate to give them up, but between ignoring the older Series2 units and going CableCARD-only with the newer ones, it is becoming a little frustrating to be a TiVo user.

I too live in the Greater Cincinnati area, and I have been a subscriber to the Fioptics TV service for two years now. I did not encounter any problem in getting Cincinnati Bell to furnish M-Cars (CableCARDs) for my three TiVo Premiere boxes, and I have been very pleased with the service.
I do know that Cincinnati Bell has made some compromises in their rollout of the fiber optics services. I believe some of these compromises are interim measures while they are still building out the network. For example, in many neighborhoods, the fiber optics data cables do not run all the way to the customer residences, and copper wiring is used for the "last mile" of the service connection.
I wonder whether your experience with lack of CableCARD supprt has something to do with the state of the fiber optics network buildout in your neighborhood.
Jan 29, 2014 at 11:50:56 PM | #3
I was able to get my Tivo Series 2 to play nice with the Cincinnati Bell Fioptics ZTE cable box by using the IR cables and choosing SCIENTIFIC ATLANTA. Good luck.

Only yesterday, Google made it public news that it was to spend as many as $75 million (€58.8 million) on a new wind farm in Rippey, fairly close to Des Moines, in the US state of Iowa.
Google says that, following their agreeing to invest in this green-oriented project, the total amount of money the company has thus far spent on cutting down on its ecological footprint will hit a record $1 billion (€0.78 billion).
"Today we're announcing that we've made an equity investment of $75 million in a 50MW wind farm in Rippey, a small town in Greene County, about an hour outside of Des Moines," the company's official website reads.
Furthermore, "This project brings our committed investment to the renewable energy sector to more than $990 million (€776.2 million)."
Google explains that this wind farm in Iowa will generate sufficient electricity so as to successfully meet the demands of as many as 15,000 homes found in its proximity.
Despite Google's having a data center in Iowa, it seems that all of the green electricity produced at this facility will be meant for local consumers.
"We're investing directly into a wind project, which has been contracted to sell all of the energy to the Central Iowa Power Cooperative, an Iowa-based utility that will deliver the energy to local consumers."
"We're happy to help make more renewable energy available to Iowans and to support the growing wind energy industry in the state," the company says.
According to Mashable, most of Google's investments in harvesting renewable energy sources have focused on solar and wind power.
For example, the company spent $94 million (€73.7 million) on four PV projects in California, $157 million (€123.1 million) on two wind projects in the Mojave Desert.
"At Google, a clean energy future means investing in innovative, large-scale clean energy projects we believe can become major power sources for the future," says one of the company's statements on sustainability.

Acceptance: The Key to Change. ~ Kelli Prieur
Today's teaching landed like a swift slap across my cheek.
Shocking and sharp, my own resistance bubbled up out of the spaces between my ribs, overflowed out from the seams behind my heart, and poured down from the creases of my hips about 30 seconds into my practice this morning.
It didn't take much. No pushing or prodding, no peeling back, or edge-riding today. No, no, Universe didn't waste any time this morning in the delivery of my lesson.
Express-post styles, the teaching was just there, sprinkled though the spaces of my body, vibrating violently in my resistance, resting just below the surface of the morning's business and the night's sleep. Today it didn't take a 26 minute hold in headstand, or 15 handstands, full splits or full wheel to crack me open — stepping into myself was enough. Stopping and breathing and feeling was enough.
The body doesn't lie, or sugar coat, or pamper or pad up lessons, and today's awakening was no different. The teachings I'd been denying reached out through my muscles, dissolved out through my tendons, and poured out through my skin, wrapping me in exactly what I've been shying away from off my mat: my own resistance, my own holding, my own fight against my reality.
There's no denying a reflection that crisp, that clear. No pretending I didn't see it or feel it's vice grip wrapped neatly, tightly, around my throat, my chest, my heart. I was surrounded.
In a split second, somewhere between mentally whipping my hardened hips, wishing with my entire being that the tightness would finally just melt away, and wondering how it's possible to be so tight after 1,867,459 hours spent on my mat, the tidal wave of awareness hit me. Instantaneously, without warning, I was submerged in the feelings I'd been holding and hiding away for months now.
Resistance. Bucket-fulls and shit-loads of it, radiating out of every pore of my body.
The lesson had landed.
It's time to stop now. Stop resisting Kelli. Just stop. Because whether you choose to accept what is or not, it still is. Your resistance, no matter how strong, will not shift your reality, but acceptance will.
Trashing your tight shoulders, or verbally thrashing your heart for the fact that after six years of dedicated practice, full wheel just isn't the blissed out, angelic, enlightening experience you were hoping for, isn't going to help the tension melt away.
Resisting what is will only make you harder.
Indulging yourself with fantasies of full nights of sleeps, public yoga classes, quite vacations on the beach, and silent car rides is not going to help you react more calmly to your little milk bear who still wants a cuddle at night time, isn't content with anyone other than her Mum and Dad, and viciously hates the car seat.
Resisting your reality will only invite in more anger, more resentment, even more resistance.
Living your life with the expectations of how things used to be before you were a mother, before you were 30, or single, before you worked full time, or gained that 20 pounds, or had that accident, will not make you happier, or more calm, or better prepared to deal with where you are today.
Resisting what is will actually continue to keep you stuck exactly where it is you don't want to be.
Resistance only makes things harder. It's like swimming upstream, or closing your eyes and hoping for the best, like shooting yourself in the foot so that you can't actually get to where you're going.
It's taken me my whole life to start to realize that my power lies not in my ability to fight back, but in my ability to accept. Because, when we start to accept where we are, and who we are, we stop relying on the power of our wishes or our willpower to transport us to where it is we'd like to be. Because, once you open up to acceptance, you open up to the possibility of working with what you got to get to where you want.
Life happens. Shit happens. Bad days and sudden death, sleepless nights and un-met expectations, let- downs and let-go's, disappointments and loneliness, and tightness and loss all happen, regardless of how much you dedicate yourself to the fight of resistance.
No matter how hard you try or harden, no matter how upset or angry or betrayed you feel, you can not stop life from happening and changing and unfolding all around you.
Our pain and our suffering and our harboring and hardening isn't so much caused by the experiences that life unfolds for us, but by our resistance and our reactions to them.
Pretending your reality isn't your reality isn't going to change anything.
Only acceptance will.

Thinking About Quitting Tobacco? Practice for One Day on Nov. 18
Contact: Eileen Druckenmiller
(802) 447-5558
BENNINGTON –Are you trying to or thinking about giving up cigarettes, chew, cigars, or pipe tobacco but don't know how or where to start? Can you think of other ways you could be spending the more than $5,000 you're spending on tobacco products every year? Southwestern Vermont Medical Center's (SVMC) Tobacco Cessation Program can help.
Join us on Thursday, Nov. 18, from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m., in the hospital lobby for support while you find out about the latest programs for quitting and nicotine replacement options. Make a "Pledge to Quit" that day in celebration of the Thirty-Fifth Annual American Cancer Society Great American Smokeout. Everyone who pledges to quit will be entered into a drawing that includes the grand prize of one free night at the Bennington Hampton Inn. If you can do it for one day, you can do it for a week, a month, a lifetime!
We know it's not easy to quit tobacco alone. But we're serious about helping you quit for good. Tobacco use remains the single largest preventable cause of disease and premature death in the United States. Every year, an estimated 440,000 people die from tobacco. Half of all Americans who continue to use tobacco as directed will die from tobacco-related disease.
But you can fight back against this addiction. Join us and make that first step towards a healthier life without tobacco. You can do it for one day! Within the first 24 hours of quitting, your carbon monoxide levels return to normal and your chances of having a heart attack begin to drop; within three months, your lung function increases as much as 30 percent; within one year, your excess risk of heart attack and death from heart disease is cut in half; and within five to 15 years, your risk of stroke is reduced to that of a non-smoker.
The Great American Smokeout began in the 1970s to encourage people to make a one-day choice for better health. Every year, more and more smokers participate by smoking less or quitting smoking for the day. Ready to try? SVMC and the Tobacco-Free Community Partners are here to support you along the way.
On Nov. 18, set aside time to make a small change that can lead to a lifelong improvement in your health. Call Gwen or Laurie at SVMC's Tobacco Cessation Program at (802) 447-5508 or Kiah Morris at Tobacco-Free Community Partners at (802) 447-6478 today to find out more about how they can help you quit tobacco now and in the long-run.
SVMC is a part of Southwestern Vermont Health Care (SVHC). SVHC is a community-based, not-for-profit health system that exists solely for the benefit of its community. SVHC has a vision to make the communities it serves the healthiest in the nation. To find out more, visit www.svhealthcare.org.
