WASHINGTON (AP) — Federal court documents say a campaign adviser to Hillary Rodham Clinton was personally involved in an off-the-books operation to help the former first lady's 2008 presidential campaign in four states and Puerto Rico.
The court papers say Washington businessman Jeffrey Thompson told prosecutors that Clinton adviser Minyon Moore sought his help in recruiting so-called street teams to help Clinton's campaign during the 2008 primaries. According to the documents, Thompson paid more than $600,000 to a New York marketing executive to fund the street teams and canvassers.
Thompson pleaded guilty Monday to two conspiracy charges. Prosecutors have said they have no evidence that Clinton was aware of the operation.
Moore's firm has said previously that she was cooperating with federal investigators and was unaware of any inappropriate activities.

During the past 3 or 4 years financial struggles have dominated the headlines around the world. From Greece, to Spain, to Wall Street in the US- people all over the world are overwhelmed with making ends meet and often have to balance that with the amount of credit card debt they carry. In today's world, it is no longer a wise choice to carry a lot credit card debt because many people do not have job security like they used to. Credit cards require monthly payments to be made and with each late payment, your chances of successfully paying off your balance falter. There are many people who want to learn how to consolidate their credit card debt, so they can reduce their bills and pay off the debt faster and quickly watch their credit reports and their credit ratings.
One of the best ways to consolidate debt is to visit your bank. The bankers might be able to offer you a low interest loan with low monthly payments that you can use to pay off the credit card debt. You might have to cut up your credit cards as the loan is being issued as a requirement from the bank.
It is important to remember that banks will not give loans to people with bad credit, so if you have bad credit, you might not have this choice as an option. You can also try to make a budget and stick to it so you can get your credit card balances lower. Many financial planners suggest that you pay off of the smallest cards first, so you do not have as many to worry about while you are working on your debt.
Consider Hiring A Reputable Debt Counseling Service
If you have difficulty with budgets and making your payments on time, there are organizations, called debt counseling services that can help you with paying back your loans and managing your money. You meet with a counseling service for approximately an hour, as the counselors will help you with plans to reduce your overall debt and monitor your credit. Check out the references and reviews of any credit counseling service that you might be considering.
If you think the costs of hiring a professional debt counselor might not be feasible for you, there are a few other options available. First, credit monitoring services combine the benefits of id theft protection with credit score updates. These often contain a training or educational component (see the My Keeping Credit for a good example) that can help the disciplined consumer better understand their credit history and make the appropriate adjustments.
Another good option way to deal with excessive credit card debt is to work with a debt management planner who will help you if the credit counseling program did not work for you. Instead of finding a loan or credit card to pay off all of your credit cards, you give the debt management program your money and they pay your loans. They will teach you how to manage your money and they will work with your creditors to reduce interest rates and balances, too. Make sure you are very careful with this type of program. Do your homework on the planner and make sure you speak to an actual client before signing anything. Check with your state's Better Business Bureau for feedback and company history. There are lots of good non-profit companies that will help with this. If your income meets their qualifications, they can help you get your three bureau credit scores and set up a payment plan.
When you make an arrangement with a debt management planner, you are in a sense consolidating your debt and paying it off quickly and easily the planner also takes care of postage, so you actually save money while paying back the loans. Many people are not successful with this type of debt consolidation program.
Know the Facts
As you try to consolidate your credit, be sure that you understand any fees and issues that may come with signing up with a company for assistance. Always, look at the fees and conditions regarding the debt company and how they work with you and keep your situation private. Make sure they don't run a 3rd party online background search and only use your private financial data for the credit bureaus. You should also receive a timeline of your results; the organizations are required to let you know this in advance. You should also learn about how much money you will need to pay before you start to save any money through consolidation get more tips here.
The idea that paying back debt will help increase your finances is a harsh reality for many people. When you have fully funded and settled the debt with credit cards companies, they might send the debt to the IRS who will think it is income. No one wants to pay more taxes, especially if you have been paying that money to someone for a long time. If you plan to work with consolidation, talk your accountant for a full take on the idea.

Erosi Dan Aliran Permukaan Pada Lahan Pertanian Berbasis Tanaman Kopi Di Sumberjaya, Lampung Barat.

|Cofee based farming, erosi, erosion, usahatani berbasis kopi
|Coffee-based farming has been perceived by policy makers as having a high erosion and a source of sedimentation. Past approach to control erosion and restoring forest function have been by forceful replacement of coffee plant with timber or leguminous tree species such as Calliandra calothirsus, and eviction of the farmers from the forest jurisdiction area. This research was aimed at testing the level of soil loss under different soil conservation treatments on land covered by 3 year old coffee trees. The research was conducted on land with slopes ranging from 50 to 60% at Laksana and Tepus sites of Sumberjaya District, West Lampung province from November 2001 to July 2003. Erosion measurement was conducted at plots 15 m long and 8 m wide. Five treatments in 4 replications in a completely randomized block design included: T1 = Sun coffee (open field monoculture coffee), T2 = T1 + Gliricidia as shade tree, T3 = T2 + dead end trench (rorak), T4 = T2 + hedgerows of natural vegetation, and T5 = T2 + ridging. The results indicated that erosion level on the 3 year old coffee farm with porous soil structure was very low (< 2 Mg ha-1 yr-1) and thus soil conservation treatments had no significant effects on soil loss, run-off, and soil organic matter and nutrient lateral transport. Soil physical properties (especially drainage pore and permeability) are dominant factors that determine the level of soil loss in the study sites. The results of the research proved that, for areas covered by 3 year old or older coffee, with soil structure similar to that of Laksana and Tepus, coffee trees per se are sufficient to control erosion to tolerable level.

Mediterranean Trail plus 3 day Greek Island Cruise » Review by Stephanie
I just finished this tour, started on June 4th, 2014.
I went solo, I'm a 28 year old female, it was my first time overseas.
My group was awesome! I really enjoyed the other singles in the group and some of the couples were awesome too!
I did all of the optionals and some of them were WAY overpriced. $55 euro to get driven up to Santorini and just told to walk around and take the tram back? Ummmm no.
The optional dinners were ok… I was expecting the pizza and pasta to be a lot better than what they were in Italy.
The "overnight ferry" is a complete lie. We were on 2 ferries, without sleep, and had to check into our hotel at 5am. Breakfast was at 10!
Overall I would give the Mediterranean Trail portion of the trip a 8/10. The boat ride at Capri and George's boat made the trip. Athens is an AMAZING city.
The cruise portion of the trip is a complete rip-off. The itinerary makes it seem like you spend all day at the places (i had been waiting for Santorini for 4 months, only to spend 1.5 hours there), most of the time is spent on the boring ferry.
I will do a Contiki again for sure - just made sure there are no ferry rides as an add-on.

ELT Professionals in Turkmenistan
The State Department's Office of English Language Programs in Washington, DC, with the support of Congressional funding, has developed three programs that can bring ELT professionals to universities and other educational institutions in Central Asia. If your institution is interested in hosting the Fellow, is willing to work with the RELO (in Uzbekistan) and the Public Affairs Section in Turkmenistan, and can share some of the Fellow's costs with these offices, please contact the Public Affairs Section.
- English Language Fellows: The English Language Fellow Program recruits qualified EFL teachers to teach English in universities and institutions teach for one year according to the needs of the host institution. Fellows are Americans with an M.A. degree in TEFL/TESL.
- Senior English Language Fellow: The Senior Fellow Program recruits American EFL teacher trainers or ESP instructors with an M.A. or Ph.D. degree in TEFL/TESL and considerable experience in teacher training or ESP, some of which was overseas. They can be posted at the Ministry of Education or at teacher training institutions to conduct a variety of activities including training sessions on methodology, curriculum development, textbook analysis, and testing. ESP specialists can teach English at advanced levels to professionals in such fields as business, economics, law, finance, and medicine.
- Short-term English Language Specialists: The English Language Specialist program recruits American academics in the field of TEFL/TESL and Applied Linguistics for short-term assignments (two to six weeks) overseas or as speakers for video or teleconferences with overseas audiences. Specialists may work on curriculum projects, teacher training seminars, textbook development, English for Special Purposes, program evaluation or other well-defined short projects. Institutions or organizations interested in inviting a specialist may request a specific scholar; if they do not, then the Office of English Language Programs contacts and recruits an EL Specialist from among well-known academics in the field. (The Office of English Language Programs will provide funds for the specialist's travel and honorarium, but food and housing for the specialist must be provided by the host institution and/or the U.S. Embassy.)

actually, M&M's carreer ended a while ago. he must go back to using heroine & cocaine & opium. that's when he was at his best. now he's shit
eminem, hang up the mic, please!!!!!!!! eminem sucks big fat cocks behind the scenes. he's probably sucking dre's dick right now. piece of shit faggots!!
Why didn't you release her under a female label? This is not flowing with Shady Records. :/ 200.00 and you could have created a combat label no one would have known the exact story. Where is this KIM MAGIC MARKETING MADNESS? hmmmm
nice, slim shady is back
agreed that this sorta oddball shit don suit em but im pretty sure he jus wanted to try out something totally out of his regular stuff so an exception can surely be made.
This song is terrible
Terrible song. I never expected a song like this would be when Em would drop the whole screaming like a banshee thing, but I hope it's a sign of more to come.
he didnt scream in this bitch ... wash ur years
I so wanna eat this girls booty hole!!!
this is wack as fuck. Eminem has gotta stop these shit pop features
hated this song when i first heard it... still dont like it a lot, but the video is necessary for a novelty track like this. no diff than any other Em single from years past. album could be ill..
Is that Skylar Grey or Kreyshawn? The girls gonna run out of images.
Closest thing we've had to classic Shady in ages besides the HTS EP and 1 star is the most popular rating??
Slim Shady would have dissed this song
This is gunna be popular.
This gunna flop
Wasn't this chick Goth last year sticking up Marilyn Manson's butt? That didn't work so she turned herself into Slum Shitty's puppet? Girl carry yo azz back to the woods.
bitch shut the fuck up
What a fuckin disappointment. Considering she made "Words I never Said" and "I Need a Doctor" I was really hoping she'd come with...well pretty much the opposite of this horse shit. Had high hopes for her.
I'm embarrassed for Skylar. This doesn't suit her at all sarcastic or not. She's trying desperately to capitalize off the Eminem association turning herself into a reject female Slim Shady. She looks like a desperate groupie. Dina Rae would have killed this tho.
im hoping its a one time thing
i love to see em in this light
I'm all for the return of Slim Shady but this song is bad.
I love the sarcasm in this the subliminal shots at katy perry , britney spears , rihanna and beyonce and many more! Props to skylar and Em for a great song! And A funny clip

Filed under Industry News, Research Lab and tagged Botnet, Malware, spear phishing, Targeted attack.
Recent efforts by our Research Lab have revealed new activity related to Cridex. As you may recall, Cridex is a data stealer also referred to as Feodo, and Bugat. The new Cridex version we are seeing now, aka Geodo, combines a self-spreading infection method–effectively turning each bot in the botnet into a vehicle for infecting new targets.
By analyzing a sample in our Elastic Sandbox (Figure 1), we have deduced that the malware progresses as follows:
Figure 1: Elastic Sandbox analysis results of the new Cridex version
Through further analysis of this attack, we were able to determine that the second piece of malware (the worm) is provided with approximately 50,000 stolen SMTP account credentials including the related SMTP servers to connect to. The bot then uses these credentials to target mostly Germany accounts by impersonating legitimate email.
Figure 2: Stolen SMTPs Country of Origin
The C&C provides the malware with a batch of 20 targeted email addresses.The malware is also given a from address, subject line, and email body text unique to this particular batch of emails. Once the malware has run through the batch, it is provided with a new batch of 20 emails. And with each new batch of emails the C&C also sends a new from address, subject line, and body.
Figure 3: Process by which the downloaded malware spreads Geodo to infect new machines
The emails we have seen, written in German, contain a link prompting the recipient to download a zip file which contains an executable disguised as a PDF document. By opening the file, Geodo is installed on the newly infected endpoint, adding a new bot to the mix (Figure 4).
Figure 4: Actual email sent by Geodo
There is no definitive information on where the 50,000 stolen credentials came from, but Cridex is the suspected culprit. And as a data stealer, Geodo can compromise the intellectual property of a corporation, putting its business and reputation at risk. This new email worm capability displayed by Geodo serves to further emphasize the growing threat of advanced malware to today's enterprises.

How to Withhold Rent from Your Landlord
If you are renting or leasing property from a landlord, then your landlord has certain legal responsibilities to maintain the property's habitability. In the circumstance that your landlord is not living up to those responsibilities, you may choose to withhold rent in order to pressure the landlord to fulfill the necessary obligations. Making the decision to withhold rental payments should not be entered into lightly, as the government has very strict regulations regarding landlord and tenant rights and if you are found to be wrongly withholding your rent from a landlord, you could be evicted in a court of law. Follow these steps if you feel the need to withhold rent from your landlord.
1Determine circumstances exist that may warrant withholding rent.
- Read your rental or lease agreement to make sure you know what your responsibilities as a tenant are and what your landlord's responsibilities are. Holding rent payments on the basis of repairs that you are responsible for is illegal and will put you in danger of being evicted. If you need help understanding the terms of your contract, consult with your local housing authority.
- Note any conditions in your rental that deem the property uninhabitable, as determined by local law. These laws vary from region to region, but generally include pest or insect infestation, lack of heating or cooling, unsafe plumbing or electrical wiring, unsafe structure and no water.
2Tell your landlord about the issues that need to be resolved. You cannot withhold rent without first giving your landlord the opportunity to correct any issues at hand. If your landlord does not respond to your request for repairs, you may proceed with the process for holding rent payments.
3Have an inspector come to the property to verify that the hazardous conditions exist. The inspector will write up a formal report and give you a copy of it.
4Submit a letter to your landlord. Follow these guidelines:
- Write a letter explaining the repairs that are needed, including the date you first noticed the need, the number of times you have spoken to the landlord about the issue, the way in which the issue presents harm to you and your family, a request for repairs and a reasonable time frame for having those repairs completed.
- Include a copy of the inspector's report proving the condition in question.
- Send the letter by certified mail to your landlord. Save the receipt of delivery that you get in return.
5Allow your landlord the time you specified in your letter to either repair the damages or make arrangements for repairs. If your landlord does not cooperate, you may proceed with the rent withholding process.
6Send a letter to your landlord stating your intent to withhold rent. Reiterate the same information that was included in the first letter requesting repairs and include another copy of the inspection report. Send the letter via certified mail, and be sure to get receipt of delivery.
7Withhold rent from your landlord until the repairs are completed. You may choose to vacate the premises if the landlord continues to be uncooperative.
8Save your rent payments during the withholding process. Do not spend the rent you are withholding. If your landlord sues you for rent and wins, you will be required to immediately pay any back rent owed, or risk being evicted. Holding rent payments in a separate savings or escrow account is a good idea.Ad
Give us 3 minutes of knowledge!
- Check with your local government housing agency to verify that you are acting within legal requirements at every step along the way.
- Save copies of every document related to your case of withholding rent. You will need them in court if your landlord decides to sue you for back rent.
- Do not attempt to withhold rent if you receive government rental assistance. You must report any problems with your landlord to the government entity that provides the rental assistance and let the government agency handle the issue. Otherwise, you risk losing your benefits.

- 1/2 pound Yukon gold potatoes, peeled and shredded
- 1/8 cup organic all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 Wild Oats large egg

The Blazingly Tough Edgar Winner for Best Mystery Novel 1958! First time in eBook form! If you're Toussaint Moore, a private investigator from New York City, and a Negro, framed in your own city for a white man's murder, you are going to find it tricky sledding in a small Ohio town, close to the Kentucky border. But the small town was where Moore felt he had to be, to try to find proof for the police that he was innocent of the killing. To do so he would have to face raicism and the killer--and to survive he would need plenty of room to swing! Crime thriller giant, Ed Lacy, produced a trail-blazing story when he tackled the theme of a black detective in a dangerous small town years before In the Heat of the Night! An usual story--a very exciting one--which handles with exceptional insight a Negro's experiences in a large northern city and a small, bordering-on-the-South town. Writer and critic Ed Gorman writes: "Room To Swing" remains high on my list of hardboiled mystery novels. There was a lyricism, almost a poetry, to the writing that touched not only the powerful, melancholy storyline but also the elegant and evocative place descriptions. I've always regarded this as a true masterpiece. Certainly, its take on race makes it a milestone, too. But the sociology of it too often overshadows the sad truth of the tale itself. I liked several other Lacy novels very much, too, but Room is the one that got him to heaven....

County OKs resolution opposing TTC proposal
Polk County Enterprise - April 2008
LIVINGSTON – A capacity crowd of Polk County residents attended Tuesday's Commissioner Court meeting in support of a proposed resolution stating the county's opposition to the 1,200- foot wide Trans Texas Corridor. More than 50 local business people packed the courtroom when spokesman Bob Dockens asked commissioners to support the resolution that encourages the Texas Department of Transportation to take the "no action" option in the I-69/TTC plan. The resolution, approved unanimously by commissioners Tuesday, offers support of widening the existing U.S. Highway 59 and upgrade to Interstate highway standards. A corridor that includes multiple vehicle lanes, train transportation and utility right-of-way would negatively affect rural Texas, splitting farms and ranches as well as negatively impacting county roads and emergency services within our county, the resolution says.
"The proposed path of a Trans- Texas Corridor in Polk County has already negatively affected future sales of homes and real estate in the current study area," the resolution said. While the state of Texas does have need of future transportation projects, we do not understand the necessity of such an immense project that would so negatively impact the most precious resources that this State has, the resolution added. The resolution asks the Texas Department of Transportation to work closely with local residents and offi cials to address local mobility plans and fi nish projects within the existing right-of-ways. Although Polk County has supported the I-69 initiative which was initially designed to seek state and federal assistance to transform U.S. 59 into interstate status by utilizing and expanding the existing right-of-way, the court went on record Tuesday as opposing the building of a 1,200 foot wide Trans-Texas Corridor in Polk County. The court does support the no action alternative for that project but does support the upgrade of U.S. 59 to interstate standards and designating that highway as I-69. Local Realtor Gaylon Rushing told commissioners that "everybody's wound up about TTC." "I really appeal to you guys.
There are a lot of factors involved. In the end, most of us consumers, all we know is what we hear here and there and at the coffee shop," Rushing said. "The issue of foreign involvement really bothers me," Rushing added. "Expanding 59 is OK, but if I have to pay a toll to go buy a pair of socks in Houston that's not." On a motion by Pct. 4 Commissioner Tommy Overstreet and seconded by Pct. 1 Commissioner Robert Willis, the resolution was approved unanimously. During the informational reports portion of the agenda, Sheriff Kenneth Hammack told commissioners that housing inmates that exceeded the capacity of the Polk County jail cost $18,771 for the month of March. As of Tuesday morning, 104 inmates were being held in Livingston and 31 held in contract facilities. The inmate population includes 77 men and 58 women. The Polk County jail's facilities for female inmates are limited to 25. Five women are being held in Jasper, 25 at IAH and one in the Liberty County jail. The average daily population at

Clean & Clear Morning Burst Skin Brightening Facial Cleanser Review
Clean & Clear Morning Burst Skin Brightening Facial Cleanser is a brand new cleanser from Clean & Clear that promises to revive your skin and brighten it with the cool fresh scent of lemons and papaya.
Anyone ever cheap up their morning skincare regime in the shower? I buy tons of expensive product for removing my makeup in the PM but when I wash my face in the AM I normally embrace the inexpensive route. It's such unusual behavior! I dunno why I do it. I guess my mentality is I don't have any makeup on and I'm in the shower washing my face so I don't really need some costly cleanser to do the deed.
Yeah, well, weird confession of the moment.
I indulged in this particularly cleanser since I normally like the Morning Burst line anyway.
Let's see how it worked out!
A cleanser to brighten your face and wake it up!
I think the first thing that grabbed me on this was the smell. At first sniff it has a sweet lemon candy-like smell. I think it's the papayas that gives it the sweet edge and if I'm honest with myself I'd confess that the scent was the reason I purchased it. Some folks love scented skincare, others don't. I happen to love it.
If you're on a budget this is a decent one to use along with your Clarisonic Brush as it seemed to lather nicely, didn't overly strip my skin, and gave it a nice tingling sensation to wake my skin up in the morning! Did it whiten and brighten? Yes, it did however the results aren't lasting sadly but my dull skin appreciated how it made it look a little tired and gloomy after use.
The formula contains caffeine but I'm not sure of the point. Caffeine is excellent for puffy eyes but why in a cleanser?
In the shower it had great results however when I tried it outside the shower sans my Clarisonic I felt like it made my skin somewhat dry and tight but this isn't any surprise as most drugstore cleansers produce the same feeling. A little moisturizer helps ease the issue and thankfully I didn't have flakiness after use.
It has those beads in the formula which I'm not quite a fan of but they aren't too annoying and dissolve pretty quickly!
The scent is gorgeous in the shower but outside the shower I felt like it had a dish detergent kinda thing going on.
- Those on a beauty budget looking for a nice cleanser to use in the AM.
- Those who want a cheaper cleanser for use with their Clarisonic.
- Those who have dull skin and want to brighten it and make it look a little less tired (this helped revive my skin but the results aren't lasting).
- Those who need to wake their skin up in the AM (the clean, sweet scent and cool tingle wakes skin up).
- Those with sensitive skin (the scent and possibly the cooling tingle from the product might prove too much if you're sensitive).
- Those with already dry skin (I have dry skin but it didn't bother me too much).
- Those sensitive to fragrance in their skincare (this has a strong scent).
- Those wanting a lasting brightening effect (I felt my skin was more vibrant after use but it was fleeting).
Overall, I enjoyed Clean & Clear Morning Burst Skin Brightening Facial Cleanser. It made my skin feel squeaky clean without drying it out and I thought it made a fabulous little cleanser for shower AM use and felt it paired up pretty nicely with my Clarisonic. I'll buy it again once I run out.
I won't Muse Approve it because it's not entirely perfect but it's worth a haul in my opinion!
Nice one!
Anyone try it?
Do share!
This product was purchased by the Muse for review purposes.
Read my full disclosure statement here.
2/28/11 15:28 Alyson:
These cleansers feel so nice, but they're too drying for me. I like cream and oil cleansers. Ponds, DHC, that sort of thing.
2/28/11 15:50 Jessie:
I love this!! It works really well on my skin and it's extremely refreshing. Except, sometimes it can dry it out my skin a little too.
2/28/11 16:22 Lorena:
I'm so glad you reviewed this! After you mentioned the C&C Morning Burst body wash I went out and bought the Mango Papaya sent and LOVE it! (Totally see what you were talking about in reference to the beads though =/) I've been using the original Morning Burst on and off since I was like 19. I LOVE it. I had to stop using it for a little while though when my face got really angry and retaliated after I used the original BE foundation, but I've been on the Acne regimen religiously and my face cleared up so I started using Morning Burst again in the shower. I'm like you, I use the Acne cleanser at night because it's better at getting all of my makeup off and in the mornings, I use the Morning Burst. I REALLY want to try the brightening version and am glad to hear that it works. My skin needs all the help it can get!
2/28/11 16:33 Cj:
Less lethal beads yay! Lol 😛 I wonder why they didn't use these in the body wash too
5/9/11 14:17 Cj:
Hey Muse! I've been on a huge drugstore kick lately and I decided to try going the cheap route in the morning too. So I bought this a few days ago and I love it! It smells AMAZING! and it worked great with my Clarisonic just like you said
I also picked up 2 of the matching body washes, I was really apprehensive because I remembered what you said about the beads of death lol but I don't have any problem with them at all! I use one of those mesh shower sponges and I don't even feel the beads.
5/9/11 14:31 Cj:
It really is a smart idea, you not only save your more costly products, but most high end skincare specifically don't add any kinda fragrances, So it's refreshing to wake up and use this. They might of changed the formula of the shower gels and made the beads smaller, I don't even realize them when I use it.
2/28/11 18:10 Brooke:
I've been using it in the mornings for a few weeks now. I saw it at Wally World and the 'glow' feature immediately reeled me in. I have sensitive skin and it hasn't really seemed to bother me much (knock on wood). I also LOVE the scent. Like you said, I don't really see a 'glowing' effect that lasts, however, I mix it with my Purpose cleanser, which I love and have been using for a while, so that may sway the results, too. In the end, it's a nice scent to wake up to in the morning
2/28/11 18:22 Mary the Muse Militant:
I'd shy away from this due to very dry skin which also is sensitive when it has it's moments.
2/28/11 19:04 Andrea:
I'm just like you! Inexpensive cleansers in the morning & all my expensive cleansers come out at night to remove my makeup! I just feel like there's nothing on my face that should be hard to remove in the mornings.. so the inexpensive route is the way to go!
I'm excited to try this one out, thanks for the review!
2/28/11 23:37 Nayah:
Muse! I'm definitely the same when it comes to going the cheap or, what I like the call, the natural route in the mornings! I've actually read somewhere that you really only need to use a cleanser in the PM…to wash off makeup and grime and oil you've accumulated throughout the day! Assuming that you have a very good PM regimen, your skin shouldn't need any chemicals in the morning…unless your skin is feeling especially greasy. Personally, I actually found that once I stopped using a lot of products in the morning, my complexion improved. AND now my cleansers last twice as long!!! Which means less money to spend on cleansers and more to spend on….makeup??? Hahaha. Oh but I was once an avid orange C&C Morning Burst user. I definitely loved the refreshing feeling~~mmmm!
2/28/11 23:59 Fuuka:
I don't really see a need to use an expensive cleanser in the morning, since your face is already semi-clean. I have been washing my face with kefir in the morning for the past month and it has cleared up my acne AND brightened my skin. Ultra cheap and all natural.
3/1/11 0:50 Nunuiviet:
In my teenage years I'll definitely buy this stuff. Now I try. To take care much more of my skin. I use philosophy purity, clean Mary from s&g, Mac oil cleanser and Mac lightful foam cleanser and finally bobbi brown lathering tube . I love the latter, I love trying new facial cleansers! But the one I like I stick to them.however when I want to save a bit of money , I try to save it on my primers, like when I just go out for 2 to 3 hours, I don't use a primer just a moisturizer And a sunscreen I skip on the primer.
3/1/11 2:38 neutralgirl:
I feel the same way muse, in the PM I use my expensive Shiseido cleansers because u know, u wanna remove makeup and the days oils, plus they say that skin repairs itself most at night and I want my face as nice as it can be for that. But in the morning, eh, i actually have this cleanser and it does the job.
3/1/11 6:30 Isabella Casser:
saw and ad for these, will try it funny thing I am getting older and my skin seems to be getting oilier!
off to Harmon later
3/2/11 0:51 KristyQ:
LOL – I'm totally with you on the inexpensive AM routine/expensive PM routine Too funny. I've never thought of it as being weird before, but yup – weird! Haha.

i think i will haul this. the yellow makes me happy, also. lol
3/5/11 15:11 Liz:
I cheap it up in my morning shower too, but for a different reason. My 13 year old doesn't hesitate to use anything I haven'tlocked away from him, and he has no idea about portion control. Any time I forget and leave stuff in the shower he'Ll use half of it before I can stop him. The only solution I've found is to use cheap stuffI don't mind seeing wasted. I save the good stuff for night time when I'm awake and can remember to put my stuff away!
4/1/11 1:30 Lauren:
I think using an inexpensive cleanser in the morning, and a more expensive one at night is an excellent idea. I feel like you want your skin to be really clean, and somewhat "repair" over night (by using the 'good stuff') whereas in the morning you're just going to most likely put makeup on top anyways. Also the morning burst, especially with a lemon scent would be great for the morning as a "pick-me-up" but maybe not so much at night. I have tried a couple clean and clear cleansers & scrubs in the past but I'm not sure what my favourite is, I think I'm going to pick up something, from the morning burst line, perhaps this one, to prolong the life of my Clinique cleanser!
6/10/11 17:20 Candy:
I brought it today. I'm going to use it tomorrow morning.
6/23/11 0:36 Sydney:
Whoa nice channel ahaha and I just used the morning burst and I LOVE♡ IT!! The scent is soo good, makes me want to eat it lmfao. So, I have tan skin & since always in the sun I always liked fair light skin. haha Im really happy I found this lil' guy because I cannot find any papaya soap! I heard lemon and papaya help lighten your skin and it did. Im def gonna try this in the shower nxt time.
7/26/11 12:52 Jessica:
I like this, I just feel the beads in their cleansers aren't necessary
2/3/15 0:39 Kayla ❤❤:
I agree they're pretty useless…but I have fun popping them when I wash my face with this in the morning!!
8/7/11 14:52 Morgan:
Question: Some facewashes smell awesome and have everything I want in them like oil free, bursting beads, and the power to fight off makeup and acne. This was one of those facewashes. Even though it is suppose to be used in the morning, do i need to? Is there some scientific reason I should?
6/13/14 20:26 Mimi:
No you can use it in the night too! It's supposed to be used in the morning since it gives you a tingly feeling that will wake you up! 😀
12/26/11 20:56 Tina:
Question: It won't dispense!! Help?! Thanks
6/13/14 20:24 Mimi:
If you pump it a few times, it should come out
2/3/15 0:36 Kayla ❤❤:
same thing happened to me! But don't worry, it's just not opening because there's a way to lock it for when you travel. There is an arrow on the top of the pump, turn the pump the way the arrow says and pump it a few times, worked for me! If you're still having trouble I saw a review on it where it shows how to open it. It's called "Glamourista 16 tries clean and clear" or something very similar to that. It's on YouTube. Hope this helped & good luck opening it :)) ~Kayla
6/13/14 20:23 Mimi:
Question : Out of all the Clean and Clear morning burst cleansers, which one do you think gives the deepest clean? Thanks Muse!
2/3/15 0:38 Kayla ❤❤:
The detoxifying cleanser because it deep cleans to get rid of all the gunk.
is this good for combination skin !!??
2/3/15 0:32 Kayla ❤❤:
On the clean and clear website it says it's for all skin types. I have combo skin as well. And since combo skin is a mix of oily and dry this is good cuz it's gel based and will help with the oil. However, for the dry parts this may make it more dry. So overall I would say yes it is, and if you have dryish skin after using it just put some moisturizer on. I do this and it works great! I definitely recommend it. Hope this helped. :))
3/9/15 2:02 Whatevs 😋:
I'm useing this product and it's making bumps on my skin 😁😁😁😁

The morphogenesis of the cerebral cortex depends on the precise control of gene expression during development. Small non-coding RNAs, including microRNAs and other groups of small RNAs, play profound roles in various physiological and pathological processes via their regulation of gene expression. A systematic analysis of the expression profile of small non-coding RNAs in developing cortical tissues is important for clarifying the gene regulation networks mediating key developmental events during cortical morphogenesis.
Global profiling of the small RNA transcriptome was carried out in rat cerebral cortex from E10 till P28 using next-generation sequencing technique. We found an extraordinary degree of developmental stage-specific expression of a large group of microRNAs. A group of novel microRNAs with functional hints were identified, and brain-enriched expression and Dicer-dependent production of high-abundant novel microRNAs were validated. Profound editing of known microRNAs at "seed" sequence and flanking sequence was observed, with much higher editing events detected at late postnatal stages than embryonic stages, suggesting the necessity of microRNA editing for the fine tuning of gene expression during the formation of complicated synaptic connections at postnatal stages.
Our analysis reveals extensive regulation of microRNAs during cortical development. The dataset described here will be a valuable resource for clarifying new regulatory mechanisms for cortical development and diseases and will greatly contribute to our understanding of the divergence, modification, and function of microRNAs.
Keywords:MicroRNA; RNA editing; Cerebral cortex; Development
The mammalian cerebral cortex contains a large number of neurons of different phenotypes arranging in a stereotypical laminar pattern [1]. A series of sequential cellular events happen during cortical development, including neural progenitor proliferation, cell fate specification, neuronal migration, neurite outgrowth and pathfinding, and eventually the formation and plastic modulation of synaptic connections [2]. The happening of all these developmental events depends on the precise spatial and temporal control of gene expression in the cell. Extensive studies have been carried out to clarify the role of transcription factors, including activators and repressors, in the regulation of gene transcription during these developmental events. In addition to transcriptional regulation, various types of small non-coding RNAs in the cell have been shown to play significant roles in the control of gene expression during physiological and pathological processes [3], largely increasing the complexity and flexibility of the gene regulatory network. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are a group of most extensively studied small RNAs of around 18–24 nucleotide (nt) with the typical stem-loop structure [4]. Most mature miRNAs directly interact with a group of messenger RNAs (mRNAs) and suppress their expression either by guiding the cleavage of the target mRNAs or by inhibiting their translation upon imperfect base pairing to mRNA's 3′- untranslated region (3′-UTR) [4]. Interestingly, some mature miRNAs can undergo changes of one or more nucleotides in their "seed" sequence, a process known as miRNA editing, which further increases the complexity of gene regulation [5]. In addition to miRNAs, other classes of small RNAs, including repeat associated small interference RNA (rasiRNA), PIWI-interacting RNA (piRNA), and small RNAs derived from transfer RNA (tRNA), ribosomal RNA (rRNA), small nucleolar RNA (snoRNA), small nuclear ribonucleic acid RNA (snRNA), small cytoplasmic RNA (scRNA), and signal recognition particle RNA (srpRNA), also play constitutive or regulatory functions in various cellular events.
A number of brain miRNAs appear to be developmentally regulated, with high expression in neural progenitors but not in differentiated neurons, or vice versa [6], suggesting that they may function at different stages of neuronal development [7]. As well characterized examples, miR-9 has been shown to regulate embryonic neurogenesis by targeting the transcription factor TLX [8]; miR-219 [9] and miR-338 [10] have been identified as regulators of oligodendrocyte differentiation; miR-124 have been shown to promote neuronal differentiation and regulate adult neurogenesis [11,12]; and miR-134 have been shown to regulate dendritic spine morphology through inhibiting the local translation of Limk1 [13]. Links between miRNA dysfunction and neurological diseases have become more and more apparent. For example, mutation in the seed region of miR-184 causes familial keratoconus with cataract [14] and mutations in the seed region of miR-96 are responsible for nonsyndromic progressive hearing loss [15]. Variation in the miR-433 binding site of FGF20 confers risk for Parkinson diseases by up-regulation of α-Synucein [16]. Interference of miRNA biogenesis by disrupting the miRNA processing enzyme Dicer in the nervous system has provided the evidences that miRNAs are essential for the development of the nervous system [17-20]. Conditional knock-out of Dicer in the mouse telencephalon resulted in a size reduction of the forebrain, likely caused by apoptosis of differentiating neurons [20]. Similar neuronal death was observed when Dicer was inactivated postnatally in the cerebellum [17] or in dopaminergic neurons in the midbrain [19]. These findings are consistent with an important role of miRNAs in regulation of cell proliferation, survival, and differentiation in developing brain. However, which miRNAs are expressed at different developmental stages and how various miRNAs are engaged in the regulation of each developmental event remain largely unknown.
Recently, next-generation sequencing has emerged as a powerful tool for clarifying the expression profile of small RNAs. The advantages of the massive parallel sequencing technique lie in its unbiased high-throughput detection of small RNAs at a genome-wide scale, even for low-abundance transcripts, and in its unparalleled ability in identifying novel RNA transcripts and modification of RNAs such as RNA editing. Although the next-generation sequencing had started to be used to examine the brain transcriptome [21], a systematic analysis of miRNAs in developing brain using this new high-throughput method is largely lacking.
In the present study, we applied the next-generation sequencing technique to carry out a systematic analysis of miRNAs isolated from rat neocortex of many developmental stages. In addition to the demonstration of dynamic and stage-specific expression of a large group of known miRNAs, we identified a group of novel miRNA candidates in rat cortex with functional hints. Interestingly, we observed profound nucleotide editing of "seed" and flanking sequences of miRNAs during cortical development. The dataset described here will be a valuable resource for clarifying new regulatory mechanisms for cortical development and disease and will greatly contribute to our understanding of the divergence, modification, and function of miRNAs.
Overall assessment of different groups of small RNAs
As shown in the work flow (Figure 1A), RNA samples were extracted from rat cortical tissues of eight developmental stages (E10-P28). A RNA integrity number (RIN) was evaluated to monitor the general quality of extracted RNA samples [22]. As shown in Figure 1, RIN of all samples are ≥8.4, indicating high quality and low degradation of these samples [22]. RNA samples were size-selected (10–30 nt) and sequenced by Solexa technique [23]. Two independent P0 samples were assayed (P0 and P0', biological replicates) in order to evaluate the reproducibility of the experimental procedures. Each sample was sequenced twice (technical replicates) and results were averaged to reduce experimental errors. We obtained approximately 20 million total reads for each sample after removal of low quality reads and contaminants (Table 9, see methods), with the peak length of each sample at about 20–22 nt (Figure 2). Small RNA reads >18 nt were annotated based on their sequences, and their relative abundances were determined by their counts, normalized to the total read number and shown as transcripts per million reads (TPM, see methods) [24]. To minimize the false positive signal, only reads that were detected in both two sequencings (technical replicates) were used for further bioinformatics analysis.

Figure 1. Overview of deep-sequence results.A. Flow chart of the study. Briefly, RNAs were extracted from rat cortical tissues of different developmental stages, size selected, and then sequenced by using the Solexa 1 G genome analyzer. Clean read tags were annotated by different bioinformatics softwares (see methods). B. The comparison of read numbers per miRNA between the two P0 samples. Since the read number per miRNA ranges from 0 to >10,000, the read number adding 1 was transformed by log10. Each dot represents data from one miRNA. There is a high correlation between the two sequencing results (r = 0.91, Pearson's correlation; p < 0.001(two tail). C-D. Relative abundances of different classes of small RNAs. The chart (C) show the relative levels of each of the nine classes of small RNAs at different developmental stages. There were <3% reads coming from the degradation of mRNAs (exon and intron). The heat-map (D) shows the developmental tendency of the total amount of each class of small RNAs. Red and green indicate high and low expression, respectively.
This small RNA quantification based on deep-sequencing was highly reproducible, as reflected by a high Pearson's correlation coefficient between miRNA levels of the two independent P0 tissue samples (r = 0.91) (Figure 1B). Consistent with a peak of the length distribution at around 20–22 nt, we found that miRNAs were the major fraction of small RNAs detected in rat cortex at all developmental stages (≈70%, Figure 1C). rRNAs are known to play important roles in the protein synthesis machinery. Interestingly, small RNAs derived from rRNA at E13 were significantly higher than all other stages (Figure 1C-D). Consistently, as shown in Figure 1D, the total expression levels for small RNAs derived from scRNAs, snRNAs, and snoRNAs, three groups of small RNAs that contribute to the biogenesis of rRNAs or to the protein synthesis, all significantly correlated with that of rRNA-derived small RNAs, with a peak at E13. Since E13 is characterized by onset of neurogenesis in rat cerebral cortex [25], the peak of rRNA-derived small RNAs at E13 suggests an important role of regulation of protein synthesis for the onset of cortical neurogenesis. Other classes of small RNAs detected in cortical tissues, including piRNA-like RNAs and rasiRNAs as well as those derived from tRNAs and srpRNAs, exhibited gradual reduction in their expression during development.

Identifying and profiling of known miRNAs
By aligning clean reads to precursors of known miRNAs in the miRBase (release 18.0) [26], we identified approximately 280 known miRNAs and 55 miRNA* (miRNAs star) expressed in cortical tissues of at least one of the eight developmental stages (Table 1). Currently, there are 438 mature rno-miRNAs and 242 rno-miRNAs* deposited in miRBase database, and close to fifty percent of these known miRNAs are expressed in rat cortex. To further validate the deep-sequencing results, we chose 21 miRNAs with typical expression profile during development (gradual increasing, gradual decreasing, and peak around P0) for further analysis using the quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) [27]. We found that the expression patterns of most of these miRNAs revealed by qPCR were consistent with deep-sequencing results (Figure 2) with the exception of only four miRNAs (rno-miR-296, rno-miR-93, rno-miR-99b and rno-miR-130a), which exhibited minor discrepancy between qPCR and deep-sequencing results at P0. These results further showed the high accuracy of deep-sequencing in detection and quantification of the relative expression levels of most miRNAs. The expression level of one extensively studied miRNA rno-miR-134, which plays important roles in regulation of embryonic stem cell differentiation and synapse plasticity [28-30], was used as a relative standard to judge the abundance of detected miRNAs. The expression levels of rno-miR-134 in our samples were 350.10 and 326.51 TPM at E13 and P14, respectively, and were less than 300 TPM at other stages. We found that there were 50 miRNAs whose expression was >300 TPM at more than one developmental stages, and 162 miRNAs exhibited <300 TPM expression in all developmental stages. This means that although most known miRNAs were detected in cortex, only one-third was abundantly expressed and may play significant roles during cortical development, although other relatively low-abundance miRNAs may also play some roles. The top 20 most abundant miRNAs at each developmental stage are summarized in Table 2.

Table 2. The top 20 highly expressed miRNAs at different developmental stages
We observed that although there was no obvious difference in the total number of unique miRNAs detected in cortex across different developmental stages, the expression level of different miRNAs in cortex was very dynamic over stages. We carried out the clustering analysis for all detected known miRNAs and 44 novel miRNA candidates (see below) based on their relative expression levels (Figure 2G). Dataset 10 shows a list of these known and novel miRNAs in the order of clustering result. As shown in Figure 2, more miRNAs exhibited higher expression level in earlier developmental stages than later stages. Nearly 40 % of miRNAs had the highest abundance at E10. Moreover, more miRNAs exhibited a higher abundance in early developmental stages (E10 and E13) and late developmental stages (P7-P14) than in middle stages (E17-P3). Overall, the expression patterns of miRNAs fell into four main categories: (1) Enriched in early embryonic stages, especially at E10 and E13 and decreased gradually during development (i.e. the rno-miR-181 family); (2) Enriched late postnatally, especially at P14 and P28, and tended to increase over time (i.e. rno-miR-29a and rno-miR-128); (3, 4) Peaked around neonatal stage (P0), either highest peak or lowest peak.
The expression profile of miRNAs provides a hint of their potential functions during development. For example, at E10, which is a stage of fast proliferation and expansion of cortical progenitor cells, more than 100 miRNAs exhibited higher expression than any other developmental stages. Some of these miRNAs, i.e. rno-miR-34c, rno-miR-449a, rno-miR-301b, rno-miR-532-5p, rno-miR-219-5p, rno-miR-451, and rno-miR-152, were even 10-fold more abundant at E10 than at any other stages, providing a hint that these 7 miRNAs may play important roles in the regulation of progenitor cell proliferation. At about E13, when the first waves of neurons are produced from neural progenitor cells in rat cortex [25], we found that 4 miRNAs were particularly high at this stage, including rno-miR-199a-3p, rno-miR-494, rno-miR-182, and rno-miR-7a, suggesting important roles of these miRNAs in neurogenesis. At neonatal stage (around P0), when the majority of pyramid neurons have already migrated to their destinations and are extending axons and dendrites [31], we found high expression of several miRNAs at this stage, i.e. rno-miR-137 and rno-miR-19b. Consistently, a previous study showed that miR-137 regulates neuronal maturation by targeting the ubiquitin ligase Mib-1 [32]. Dataset 10 provides a complete list of the name and relative abundance (TPM) of all detected known miRNAs.
We note that during the preparation of this manuscript, one group reported the identification of two novel miRNAs from the brain tissue named as rno-miR-344b-5p and rno-miR-3559-5p [33]. Our work further verified their finding of these two novel miRNAs in brain tissues (Figure 3). The expression of rno-miR-344b-5p gradually elevated during development, suggesting that its function may involve late developmental processes like the synapse development and plasticity [34]. Expression of rno-miR-3559-5p dropped over development, with a peak at E13, suggesting a potential role in embryonic neurogenesis.

Best Vest for a Hot Chest
GRW Industries has produced a cooling vest that cleverly combats the heat stress that workers experience in extreme working environments. The vest, aptly named the CoolMe™ vest is designed for people based in arid, desert, and tropical climates as well as emergency workers such as fire fighters and also miners working underground. The vest promotes rapid recovery in heat stress situations and does not require pre-freezing or access to ice.[DDET Read more...]
The CoolMe™ vest is the brainchild of James Cook University researchers Dr Glen Deakin, Robert Ennis-Thomas and William Armstrong, who are part of the commercial enterprise, GRW Industries. These researchers have been working closely with Queensland Fire & Rescue Service to develop the product which is optimised for intense heat and short duration situations. It is a low cost, disposable product that generates a strong cooling effect (3-5°C) without requiring access to refrigeration or power. The CoolMe™ vest is rapidly activated by simply adding water to the reservoir (which reacts with a non-toxic reactant) and is effective when worn under protective clothing.
In May this year, the GRW team and the CoolMe™ vest won a heat on an episode of ABC's New Inventors program. Last year, the team won the inaugural Trailblazer Awards at JCU, the UQ Business School's prestigious $100,000 Enterprize business planning competition and most recently a Tropical Innovation Award.
