Over a weekend in late July and early August Chris Wallace and I had the opportunity to instruct a group of excited students in the ways and (dare I say) art of ultralight backpacking. We were working on behalf of the Backpacking Light Wilderness Trekking School and operated a three day course out of Jackson Hole Wyoming in the Bridger Teton National Forest. I have written a trip report and posted trip photos on my blog in an article entitled Backpacking Light - Wilderness Trekking School - WS1-LWB 2010

The group was reacting to the Medical Council's license revocation of Christopher Tong Yung-man.
Association Concerning Sexual Violence Against Women executive director Linda Wong Sau-yung advised female patients to always request the presence of a woman nurse if examined by a male doctor.
Tong, 33, was acquitted of indecent assault two years ago after he allegedly inserted his finger into the vagina of a patient and took photos of her private areas without her knowledge.
On Sunday, the Medical Council found Tong had performed inappropriate and unnecessary medical exams on the breasts and vaginas of six patients, and took more than 860 photos and 20 videos of the private parts of patients - including children - in 2007 and 2008.
It said the taking of pictures of any part of a patient's body secretly or without consent is a "blatant and serious breach of the patient's trust" amounting to "scandalous conduct which is grossly improper and unethical for medical practitioners."
Tong was deregistered and would not be allowed to reapply for reinstatement - the heaviest punishment ever handed down by the council.
Eric Cheung Tat-ming, assistant professor of the University of Hong Kong faculty of law, said that at the trial the court had to be satisfied without a reasonable doubt that Tong was guilty of indecent assault in order to convict him.
In the council disciplinary hearing, the doctor faced 12 counts and the scope of the professional decision was larger than for an alleged criminal offense.
"In the disciplinary hearing, medical professionals have more knowledge about medical examinations in order to determine whether his conduct was reasonable," Cheung said.
Former Hong Kong Medical Association president Gabriel Choi Kin said patients trust doctors less now after several improper acts had come to light in recent years.

What is gluten? Gluten is found in anything made with wheat, barley or rye. It is the ingredient that makes yeast bread dough stretch like elastic. Without it, the ingredients would not bind together into dough that can be kneaded and stretched in that way. Gluten-free dough does not stretch, so the dough tends to be thicker — like batter rather than dough. Most bread made from gluten-free flour tends to be more like a quick bread rather than a yeast bread. You can substitute the flour called for in any recipe with other grains that do not contain gluten. There are hundreds of gluten-free recipes for breads and other food items on the Internet.
What Is Gluten Intolerance?
Gluten intolerance means you react to gluten, either with celiac or gluten sensitivity. If you suspect that you are gluten-intolerant, you must be prepared to cut out all products containing gluten. Gluten comes from three different grains that are cleverly hidden and disguised in everyday foods. Wheat, barley and rye attack the intestinal tracts of innocent consumers unaware of the hidden grains.
Symptoms Of Gluten Intolerance
Our nation has seen a rise in the number of people that are being diagnosed with diseases directly related to the consumption of breads, cereals and other items containing certain grains. The gluten in the grain triggers a reaction in the intestinal tract that causes inflammation and results in a very painful bowel disease. If you suspect that you have an intolerance to wheat, barley or rye, do not store these grains.
The following are symptoms potentially caused by gluten intolerance, celiac disease or gluten insensitivity:
- Abdominal pain.
- Anemia.
- Anxiety.
- Bloating.
- Brain fog.
- Constipation.
- Depression.
- Diarrhea.
- Fatigue.
- Heartburn.
- Joint pain.
- Rashes.
Avoid The Foods That Contain Gluten
A crisis is not the time to discover that you have a problem with gluten. You could have a double crisis if you are not prepared for a situation where you cannot get to the grocery store and you need foods that are gluten-free. You must be a label reader to make sure grain flours containing gluten, as well as hydrolyzed vegetable proteins, are not hidden in the mixes.
Avoid anything that contains wheat, barley, rye, spelt, kamut, triticale and all wheat products such as bulgur wheat, durum wheat, cracked wheat cereal, farina, wheat bran, bran cereals, wheat germ, couscous, wheat starch and any packaged meals that contain the flour from these grains. Also avoid semolina flour, panko, surtan, udon, faro and orzo.
Check the labels on prepackaged bakery products such as cake, pancake, pizza, muffin and biscuit mixes, or any pasta dishes with sauces that contain flour. Wheat pasta contains gluten, too. Watch out for products such as soy sauce, thickeners, bread coatings, mustard, salad dressings, sauces, gravies and anything that contains natural flavors. Flour is added to other items that you may not even be aware of such as toothpaste, lipstick, chutneys, relish, curry powder, white pepper, hard tack candy, licorice, cheap chocolate and even some cheap brands of supplements and pharmaceutical products.
Oat groats and oatmeal have been known to trigger a reaction in some people because of cross contamination of oats and wheat in farmers' fields and storage been. If you have a gluten problem, you will need to make sure that the oats you purchase are pure oats that are organic and have not been cross contaminated. They should be certified gluten-free.
Gluten-Free Foods That Can Be Stored
Vegetables: Asparagus, broccoli, carrots, cabbage, cauliflower, celery, corn, green peppers, mushrooms, peas, potatoes, onions, spinach, tomato powder, vegetable stew blend and zucchini.
Fruits: Apple slices, apple crystals, banana slices, mango, papaya, pineapple, raspberry, raisins and tropical fruit blend.
Fats and oils: Vegetable oil, olive oils, shortening, mayonnaise and some salad dressings with oil and vinegar in the mix.
Canned and bottled fruits, vegetables, beans, soups and tomato sauces: Plain canned fruits and vegetables, canned beans and lentils, spaghetti sauces, and organic pre-packaged vegetable soups are all a great addition to a gluten-free food storage program.
Snacks: Popcorn, gelatin and dried fruits.
Canned and freeze-dried meats: Canned fish (tuna, salmon and sardines), canned ham, chicken, beef and other meats. Freeze-dried meats packed for long-term storage.
Grains, seeds and thickeners: Acceptable gluten-free grains are amaranth, millet, quinoa, brown and white rice, rice bran and rice flour, teff, and buckwheat. Flax seeds, arrowroot flour, cornstarch and potato starch can be used to thicken gravies and sauces and are also gluten-free.
Condiments: Apple cider and white vinegars (but not malt vinegar), mustard, ketchup, horseradish, jams, jellies, honey, maple syrup, relish, pickles and olives.
Cereals: Cream of rice, millet, pure organic oats (certified gluten-free) and gluten-free cereals.
Baking Items: Sugar, salt, pepper, herbs, spices, evaporated or condensed milk, corn meal, tapioca, baking soda, baking powder, gluten-free flours, high-quality baking chocolate, and cocoa.
Beverages: Coffee (some flavored coffees contain gluten), tea , soft drinks, fruit juice, powdered protein and other drink mixes.
Dairy products and eggs: Powdered milk and dried eggs are a great addition to a gluten-free food-storage program. Dried dairy products include dried butter powder, buttermilk, cream cheese powder, cheddar cheese powder, sour cream powder, scrambled egg mix, and whole egg powder. Dried dairy products can be used in baking as well as substituted in any recipe calling for the fresh product.
Beans and legumes: Dried beans are all gluten-free. Beans can be dry or canned. Dried beans can be ground into a bean flour and used as a thickener in gravies and sauces. Dried bean flour can also be cooked with boiling water until it is the thickness of refried beans. Refried beans can be used in any Mexican dish or made into a bean dip.
The following varieties of beans and legumes are available and will store for many years: 16-bean mix, baby lima beans, butter beans, large lima beans, black-eyed peas, black turtle beans, lentils, small red beans, small white navy beans, split peas, red kidney beans, refried beans, garbanzo beans (also called chickpeas), great northern beans and pinto beans.
With the rise of diseases due to gluten intolerance or allergies to wheat, it would be a good idea to stock up on these gluten-free products.

The Indian Institute of Tourism and Travel Management (IITTM) is all set to open its first institute in south India at Nellore from July this year. The AP Tourism Development Corporation (APTDC) has been entrusted with construction work of buildings for the proposed institute close to the national highway near Venkatachalam, 16 kms from Nellore.
The Centre has sanctioned Rs 16.93 crore for construction. The IITTM, an autonomous organisation of the ministry of tourism, Government of India is one of the premier institutes offering education, training, research and consultancy in tourism, travel and allied sectors since 1983.
The proposed institute in Nellore will offer a two year course with a unique blend of tourism and cargo specialisation as part of its postgraduate diploma in management. The idea behind the course is to tap growing opportunities in the areas of tourism operations, tourism marketing, air and shipping cargo management in the region.
The director of the IITTM, Ms Manjula Chowdhary, revealed this while interacting with media persons after taking part in a workshop on 'Tourism Opportunities and Challenges' at Geetanjali College, Muttukur road here on Thursday.
According to Ms Chowdhary, graduates in any stream are eligible to join the course and the last date for receiving applications is February 1. The entrance test will be conducted on February 27. Those qualified in CAT and MAT entrance tests can apply directly for enrolment and do not have to take the entrance test. The cost for the two years course is Rs 2 lakh and it can be paid in two instalments.
The IITTM has been providing Rs 2 crore towards development of infrastructure for colleges and polytechnics in government sector if they introduce a degree course in tourism management. Ms Chowdhary said that placement is assured for their students, pointing to opportunities across the globe in the tourism industry.
Earlier, the vice-chancellor of Vikrama Simhapuri University, Prof C.R. Visweswar Rao, dwelt at length on the historical importance of Nellore. The general manager of the HR wing of Krishnapatnam Port, Mr Satya Prakash, also spoke apart from professors of IITTM, Sandeep Kulashreshta and Nimit Chowdhary.

As of Wednesday, May 1, 2013
© Copyright 2015 Gwinnett Daily Post
LILBURN -- Kofi Twumasi is only a sophomore, but he might be the future of Gwinnett County boys soccer.
The Berkmar striker/midfielder spent the last three weeks attending the Manchester United Academy, playing games in England and Portugal.
Twumasi came back to the U.S. on Sunday and it didn't take long to show what he learned overseas.
"To be a sophomore, he's a top-tier player," Berkmar coach Tracy Crouch said.
Twumasi scored the game's only goal on Wednesday in No. 9 ranked Berkmar's 1-0 victory over Etowah in the first round of the Class AAAAAA state playoffs.
"It felt good (to be back)," Twumasi said. "We are a family. We win as a family and lose a family."
Berkmar (12-5-1) will play North Gwinnett, who defeated South Forsyth 3-1, next Wednesday in the second round of the state playoffs.
Etowah drops to 13-6 to end the season.
"They are a solid team," Crouch said. "You don't get this far unless you're a good team. They are very aggressive and big."
Berkmar won the region title in 2011, but was knocked out in the second round of the state playoffs by eventual state champion Walton. It was the first time in 25 years that Berkmar had reached the postseason.
The program had a slight decline last year with a 5-12 record and missing the playoffs. That was all the motivation this year's group needed.
With an 11-member senior class, Berkmar returned to prominence this season. They won the Region 8 title for the second time in three years, sealing the crown with a victory over traditional power Brookwood.
"This team reminds me a lot of the 2011 team," Crouch said.
Twumasi scored the game's only goal in the 19th minute on an assist from Rocky Guerra.
"I saw Rocky go to the left and he saw me and I got lucky and scored," Twumasi said. "It was great to put it in the back of the net."
Added Crouch: "Those two guys have a brotherly bond. That was awesome to see."
Berkmar had several scoring opportunities the rest of the game, but could not capitalize. Israel Lopez scored in the 34th minute, but was called offside.
"We missed so many chances," Crouch said. "Thank goodness the defense stayed strong and one was enough."
Berkmar goalkeeper Juan Carlos Lopez got the team's sixth shutout of the season thanks to defenders Jonathan Dowis, Matheo Gallardo, Aaron Aguirre and Victor Guevara.
Juan Sierra and Jonathan Lainez provided great movement with the ball and senior Alexis Montanez directed the team.

Over 100 nurses are nominated for Nottingham Post Nurse of the Year award
Posted: April 01, 2014|
NURSES and midwives have been left stunned after being nominated for honours.
More than 100 nominations have been submitted for this year's Nurse or Midwife of the Year Awards, run by the Post and Nottingham University Hospitals NHS Trust.
Seven staff on City Hospital's Lister 1 ward were nominated – the largest number from any ward. They include ward sister June Vango, who said: "All our staff, not just the nurses, deserve recognition as they all play their part."
A group of 18 other nominees gathered at the City Hospital yesterday to celebrate.

Jeremy Burnside, 53, charge nurse on the City Hospital's Nightingale Ward, which specialises in treating infectious diseases, was one of them.
Jeremy, of Arnold, said: "I'm the senior nurse on the ward, so I just try and lead by example. The number of nominees is also testament to the work done here and at the QMC."
Jeanette Mulhern, 37, of Arnold, was nominated for her work as a research nurse in oncology. Mrs Mulhern said: "I thought my nomination was a wind-up. I don't know where it's come from but it's a real honour."
QMC-based midwife Laura Stockbridge, 25, said: "We all strive to give the best care we can. I enjoy the atmosphere of the labour suite and whatever it brings."
Now, judges have to whittle the nominees down to 15 shortlisted finalists. There will be five nominees in each of the three categories, best adult nurse, children's nurse and midwife.
Public voting for the awards, sponsored by Tramlink Nottingham, starts on Monday, when details of the final 15 will be revealed. Winners will be crowned in May.
Jenny Leggott, deputy chief executive and director of nursing at Nottingham University Hospitals NHS Trust, said: "Thank you to the people of Nottingham for getting behind the awards and saying 'thank you' to our staff who go above and beyond to provide caring, safe and thoughtful care to patients."

It was a textbook case where the idiom ŌĆ£turnabout is fair playŌĆØ directly applies.
From Ryan MallettŌĆÖs vantage point, some friendly and well-intentioned payback was in order.

In the short time Rakim Sanders has spent as an NBA hopeful, the Pawtucket native has learned an invaluable lesson ŌĆō when opportunity knocks, itŌĆÖs best to jump all in.

PAWTUCKET ŌĆö The regional and national tournaments are all a thing of the past. So is the points scoring system that heŌĆÖs had to worry about every time heŌĆÖs fought, as well as the headgear that heŌĆÖs had to strap on for 130 amateur fights, 119 of which he won.
The next time Toka Kahn-Clary steps in the ring, the ManfredoŌĆÖs Gym fighter will do so as a professional. His name and his pro fights will be etched forever on boxrec.com, and yes, he will be fattening his wallet with some extra greens.

LINCOLN --- With a 5-0 shutout against the Smithfield Sentinels Friday, the Lincoln Lions improved their record to 14-0 and clinched the Northern Division.
Including yesterdayŌĆÖs game, the Lions have only played in five games that were decided by five or fewer runs, one of which came against Smithfield on April 4. During that game, Lincoln came away with a 3-2 win.
Coach Dick Ryan thought that the grit his squad showed against a Smithfield team that always gives Lincoln a close match was a good sign.
WOONSOCKET --- These past two weeks have certainly belonged to Cumberland, and that was evident on Friday afternoon in its Division I-North showdown against Mount St. Charles.
The Clippers took over second place and grabbed their fifth win in their last seven outings with a solid performance that saw the visitors claim the early momentum with five runs in the first two innings, play steady defense, and ride the solid pitching of Caylin Legare to a 6-3 victory that put a damper on the MountiesŌĆÖ ŌĆśSenior DayŌĆÖ festivities.

The Third Reich: A New History (2000)
by Michael Burleigh
No current Talk conversations about this book.
Burleigh writes an epic, sweeping history of the rise of Nazism in Germany, the Second World War, and its immediate aftermath. Though there are many books about Hitler and the War, Burleigh manages to write a new book covering Nazism as political religion and Nazi totalitarianism including eugenics, mass murder etc. He offers a chillingly comprehensive account of the programme of mass sterilisation against Gypsies, Jews, and the mentally ill. Burleigh is very good at describing this progressively deteriorating position of the "undesirables" and it makes for uncomfortable reading. Though the author's underlying premise means he must often make comparisons to Stalinist Russia, these are few and brief. Nevertheless, the chapters on the pieces that together made up the jigsaw of the Holocaust are valuable and haunting. Overall, the book is indeed emotionally draining as the reader is forced to confront time and again "man's inhumanity to man" but nevertheless, the reader should persevere for it is a rewarding historical study.
NO OF PAGES: 965 SUB CAT I: Holocaust SUB CAT II: SUB CAT III: DESCRIPTION: Humans have a fascination with evil. We long to identify it, quantify it, and understand it. To this end, newspapers frequently splash photographs of murderers with the caption "The face of evil." Heading most lists of the 20th century's most evil people would be Adolf Hitler, but, as Michael Burleigh's tour de force makes clear, evil is not always as cut-and-dried as we would like. The Nazis could not have come to power and committed Germany to a policy of war and genocide without the tacit consent of the German people. This makes Germany as a whole responsible for the crimes committed in its name, but it is clearly wrong to label every German as evil. Through his painstaking research and direct prose, Burleigh slowly builds up a picture of a people desperate for identity and economic prosperity, who, bit by bit, closed off their conscience as the price of their dreams. There was no one cathartic moment when Germany, under the Third Reich, lapsed from goodness into badness; rather, there was an incremental realignment of a collective morality. Burleigh's explanation of this phenomenon is so simple, yet so obviously right, that you can only wonder that it didn't become the generally accepted currency years ago.
Instead of viewing Nazi Germany in purely social, political, and economic terms--though he doesn't ignore these spheres--Burleigh wraps them all into a picture of a country gripped in a religious, messianic fervor, and that which had previously felt inexplicable suddenly seems clear. If you want the nitty-gritty details of the Second World War and the genocide, they are here, retold as well as, if not better than, many of the other histories of this period. But it's Burleigh's take on the people of Germany that makes this book so special. Above all, with similar genocidal wars currently being fought in Kosovo, Rwanda, and Iraq, it makes you think, "Would I be able to resist becoming complicit in such regimes?" This is a must for every 20th-century historian.NOTES: Donated by Patricia Irwin. SUBTITLE: A New History

Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0330487574, Paperback)In this riveting book, Michael Burleigh sets Nazi Germany in a European context, showing how the Third Reich's abandonment of liberal democracy, decency and tolerance was widespread in the Europe of the period. He shows how a radical, pseudo-religious movement, led by an oddity with dazzling demagogic talents, seemed to offer salvation to a German exhausted by war, depression and galloping inflation. 'This is a monumental book.' Richard Overy, Sunday Telegraph 'If I had to recommend one book on the Third Reich, this would be it.' Daniel Johnson, Daily Telegraph 'It is a breathtaking achievement, at once broader and deeper than any other single volume ever published on the subject. Indeed I would go further: it is the product of authentic historical genius.' Niall Ferguson, Sunday Times 'Happily, Michael Burleigh now fills that bibliographical gap, with a readable and highly knowledgeable account of that ghastly period. You will never be bored by this extraordinary book.' Andrew Roberts, Mail on Sunday

NEW YORK (USA TODAY) - Preliminary tests on a suspicious white powder mailed to six New Jersey hotels near the site of Sunday's Super Bowl XLVIII revealed the substance is likely corn starch, according to the police chief in Rutherford, N.J.
"That's what we're getting from Haz-Mat," Rutherford chief James Russo told USA TODAY Sports on Friday. "There was no threat that we should be concerned about."
WABC-TV in New York, which was first to report the story, said the police department in Carlstadt, N.J., received a call from an Econo Lodge at 11:30 a.m. ET that someone had opened a letter with the powder in it. Police then began receiving calls from the other hotels in East Rutherford, Hasbrouck Heights, Lyndhurst and Rutherford, WABC reported.
The television station said no injuries had been reported and no evacuations ordered.
Russo said his department responded to the report at the Renaissance Meadowlands Hotel.
"Our scene is cleared. The hotel is back to business," he told USA TODAY Sports.
The hotels are in the area near MetLife Stadium, the site of Sunday's Super Bowl between the Denver Broncos and Seattle Seahawks.
In a statement, New Jersey State Police said, "The Joint Terrorism Task Force and Hazard Materials units have responded to several locations that have received a suspicious letter and substance. There are no reported injuries at this time, and the locations are being secured. This situation is being thoroughly investigated and more information will be provided when it becomes available."
New York police also responded to the delivery of a letter containing white power to the Manhattan office of former New York mayor Rudy Giuliani .
Giuliani told Fox Sports 1 that the building was cleared as a precaution. "Then when they tested it, they found it to contain a non-toxic substance," he said. "Now, they are doing further tests just to be sure, but at that point, then they took it out of the building and the building is now operating perfectly normally."
Giuliani said in his career as a mayor, U.S. Attorney and associate Attorney General, "I've dealt with this all my life, so I was concerned, but is more of a professional concern, just to make sure the protocols were handled correctly.
"We also have the best police department in the world; the best hazardous materials unit in the world. Commissioner (William) Bratton should be very proud of them. They've handled it perfectly and the building had very little interruption. People went back to work right away," he said.

diabetu,this is a great tool except it didn't work. Here is my test scenario:The tablet i am using is currently running uberoid v11b3 option 8 so I know the tab works with uberoid. Running desktop windows 7I downloaded a fresh copy of uberoid v11b3 and unzipped it with 7 zipI downloaded your tool unzipped it and copied the executable to the uberoid v11b3 folder (along side of the changer.bat file)I ran your tool file. I let it format the sd which it did fine, it copied the script to sd card.After that operation was complete i did a safe remove of the sd card and inserted it into my tabI turned the tab on, and the script ran fine and copied files to the sd card. and i removed the sd card when it told me to and the booted fine.I did the second step in the tool and I saved the evironment and then did a transfer of uberoid to the sd card.This process completed, i did a safe remove of sd card and I then put the sd card in my tab and turned it on. The flash went normal and I removed the sd card as instructed and the first boot hung up with the android robot and text in the lower right corner. I let it set 20-30 minutes and nothing further. I then setup the same sd card using the changer.bat file, selected option 8 flashed it to my tab and got it to do full boot with no issues.If I can help u further plse let me know
Ok, satcomranger ! i solved the problem Took longer as we could not test!I lost the tablet feeder !!please test version 0.34e !
Hello folks,I have a WM8650 model WP-800. Could not find an exact match in your list so I tried 5, 6, 8, 15... Don't seem to be having too much luck.Just as a verification on the steps. I properly formated an SD Copied all files to itRan changer.bat from the SD on my win7 computer.(this is where not sure I'm following you correctly) - Select a number from the list - after pressing "enter" it says 1 file copied then it asks if I want to copy Uberoid to SD, I answered "n" then it asks if I want to format SD and copy uberoid, again I answered "n"Then with tablet off I inserd sd card and it reflashes normally (all files are being copied) but then on restart it gets stuck on the video with the blue honeycombs?!?!?any suggestions?
THANK YOU SO MUCH DIABETU!!! now my wm8650 is live again.thank you so much!!

I entered this cake in my local fair and won a blue ribbon!! I absolutely loved this cake. Very moist and delicious! A true winner!
This cake was a big hit with family and friends. I will make it again, but stir the chopped almonds into the cake batter rather than put them in the bottom of the bundt pan.
Although my guests ate it and liked it, I wasn't pleased with the texture of the cake. It seemed quite heavy. Followed recipe exactly. Any suggestions? Might try it one more time.
Recipe calls for too much flour - reduce by 1/2 - 1 cup.
It was very good. everyone who tried it really liked it.
Really moist and a beautiful cake to serve your family and friends. I'll certainly make it again!
Excellent! I used fresh blueberries to make this cake and my dinner guests loved it! I then took the remaining cake to work and got rave reviews.

Melanoma study: Genetic test determines those at high-risk for deadly cancer
What would you do if you knew you had a genetic mutation that would likely lead to melanoma?
Most people who are at high risk of getting the skin cancer because it runs in their family can't answer that question. Melanoma genetic testing has not been widely offered because it wasn't clear it would help, and the advice would be the same regardless of the results: Annual skin examinations by a doctor, monthly self-checks for spots or other changes, and caution in the sun.
And people with negative results may get a false sense of security and not take precautions.
But a new study by Utah researchers showed, for the first time, that revealing results helps patients protect themselves. Even patients who learned they didn't have the mutation did a better job of screening themselves.
That could pave the way to routine genetic testing among those with a family history of the disease, including among children.
"Not one patient reported regret at getting results," Lisa Aspinwall, the lead author and associate professor of psychology at the University of Utah, said Friday. "People said, 'I'd much rather know. It helps me prepare for going in the sun.' "
The research was published in the June edition of Cancer Epidemiology, Biomarkers & Prevention. Researchers started with a group of Utahns who already knew they had a family history of melanoma. The patients had previously participated in research that identified the specific CDKN2A/p16 mutation. Those with the mutation have a 76 percent lifetime risk of getting melanoma.
The Utahns had been counseled to take precautions in the sun and screen themselves, but they did not know whether they had the mutation.
Their self-screening practices were evaluated six months before getting the results and one month after. Monthly checks are important because the prognosis is better than when melanoma is caught early than when it's found at an advanced stage.
Presumably, these patients were already doing a good job of protecting themselves, because their family history alone doubled their risk of melanoma - from the 1 percent risk in the general population to a 2 percent chance.
But the study found that wasn't true.
Patients who tested positive for the mutation changed from doing too few self exams to doing more than recommended. In essence, they became as vigilant at checking their skin as patients who already had a melanoma.
Such overscreening can be a problem, however, because people are more apt to notice problems if they wait a few weeks between self exams.
Even patients who tested negative went from underscreening themselves to doing more routine monthly exams.
Since they are following the patients for two years, researchers will be able to see whether those behaviors stick.
Sancy Leachman, a co-author and director of the melanoma program at the Huntsman Cancer Institute, said patients deserve to know if they have the gene.
"Instead of being a lifeguard, maybe they will choose to do an indoor job," she said.
Still, a genetic test is not recommended for everyone. Only 10 percent of melanoma cases are hereditary. Leachman said only select patients should be tested, including those with a history of melanoma and those with a strong family history of the disease.
Salt Lake City-based Myriad Genetics offers the test for $745 and says most insurance companies cover the cost.
Utah researchers are now asking study participants about testing children. Aspinwall said many parents in high-risk families want to know, hoping it will change a teen's sunbathing habits.
Melanoma tips
Melanoma is on the rise. In 2005, 557 Utahns were diagnosed, up from 494 in 2004. It kills an average of 63 Utah residents a year; 62,480 Americans are expected to develop it this year. Whether you have the melanoma gene mutation or not, there are precautions all Utahns should take against skin cancer:
* Apply sunscreen with SPF 15 or higher 30 minutes before spending time outdoors and reapply every two hours;
* Cover up by wearing hats, long sleeves, and sunglasses;
* Avoid the sun between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. when you are most likely to be exposed to the ultra- violet rays that damage and age your skin;
* Seek shade when you can't avoid the sun.

MAC Packed to Go Palette
I feel like packing and going.
It's Monday, I'm tired, I'm cranky, and I feel like I need another vacay.
Closet I can get is the MAC Packed to Go Palette.
MAC packs it up and makes available to go with this palette. It features four lipglosses plus a peach bronzer for easy to travel with makeup all in one portable compact.
Includes Lipglosses:
- Rosehips
- Quick Change
- Riviera Ready
- Poetic License
Includes Bronzer:
- Belightful (iridescent powder in gilded peach bronze)
The MAC Packed to Go Palette is exclusively available at Nordstrom for $38.
8/8/11 17:34 JennaP:
You took the "Monday, cranky, and tired" right out of my mouth, Muse! Love the berry colored lipgloss in this but I wish someone would come out with a customizable palette that had EVERYTHING in it – blush, concealer, foundation, powder, eyeshadow, lipgloss so I could take THAT and go….
Hmmm….I'm not sure I'd actually use the glosses as I tend to be lazy about finding my lip brush, but that bronzer looks gorgeous and might be worth the price just on its own.
8/9/11 2:29 BooBooNinja:
Have you seen the Packed To Go eyeshadow palettes?
I've been lusting after the 6 warm toned eyeshadows.
I think you can only purchase those and the Packed To Go brush sets at MAC Travel stores in airports.
I just don't like when makeup palettes have lip glosses atleast for me they tend to dry out or else get messy somehow! but they all look nice together!
8/9/11 10:03 Telle:
Hopefully today isn't an awful Monday!
8/10/11 17:02 Majick:
I will like next Monday because I'm going to the beach! LOL

Drywall Inspections
By: Donald E. Smith, CCS
We are a drywall contractor that performs framing, hanging and finishing drywall. Very often, during site inspection by the architects, they will get very close to the surface of the drywall to make their inspection. In some cases they use high-powered lights and shine the light across the surface of the drywall to detect imperfections in the finish. Is there a standard for inspecting drywall?
This is a question that comes up at least once a month, and has been discussed by members of AWCI's Construction Technology Council. While a formal document has not been issued or endorsed by AWCI, there are two documents available that may be of assistance in this matter. The first, from the Drywall Finishing Council, is called
Method for Inspecting Interior Joint Treated Gypsum Panel Surfaces
. The other document is from the Painting and Decorating Contractors of America, Standard P-6-04 entitled
Acceptance of Completed Wallcovering Installations
. While PDCA's document is directed toward wallcovering and not drywall specifically, it does address a finished wall system; in most (if not all) cases the substrate for wallcovering is gypsum drywall. Both documents address the concern that you have about inspecting drywall finishes. There are some differences between the documents, but nothing dramatic.
If I had to recommend a single document it would be the one from the Drywall Finishing Council because it defines the specific areas where you need help: inspection lighting, normal lighting and normal viewing position. One of the major requirements that I am sure you and all of your counterparts in the industry do not do is the construction of a sample panel to serve as the basis of acceptance for the finished work. The sample panel is used in other areas to judge the finished work and is most commonly used in masonry work. It is not necessary to produce a stand-alone panel with agreement from the architect; one wall in a room can be designated as the sample panel. This is probably a more desirable situation than a small panel. Of course, it also depends on the size of the job.
I am going to summarize some of the requirements, but what you need to do is obtain a copy of the full document, read it and develop a full understanding of what the entire document says. Take a copy of the document to the pre-construction conference and get agreement from the parties involved with the procedures to be used before beginning work. This will prevent future misunderstandings.
Under the "Visual Evaluation" heading, the DFC document sets forth the methodology to be employed when conducting an inspection. It also establishes two areas for further definition: "Conditions for Inspection" and "Visual Evaluation." Of particular interest are a couple of items. The first is that when Levels 3, 4 and 5 are used, the drywall should have a drywall primer applied prior to inspection. Second, using the accepted sample panel is the basis for acceptance of the work.
Under "Conditions for Inspection," the lighting levels should be representative of normal conditions for the project, and attention should be given to window treatment and other decorative finishes that could affect lighting and visual effects.
For viewing the surface, the document states it should be a normal viewing position at a minimum of 5 feet perpendicular to the surface being viewed.
As an industry we need to develop a consensus document signed off on by the major associations involved producing finished surfaces to present to the design and inspection community to prevent future problems in the acceptance of drywall finishes. One of the methods under consideration is to include these requirements in ASTM C840 covering the installation and finishing of drywall. Since the International Code Council's International Building is the model for building codes nationwide, and they include by reference many of the ASTM standards covering construction, this is probably the best direction to ensure we as an industry have an enforceable document.

The two U.S. senators from Pennsylvania have something else in common now.
Pat Toomey, R-Pa., and Bob Casey, D-Pa., are now both serving on the powerful Senate Finance Committee following Casey's appointment this week.
Casey was appointed to fill the vacancy left by John Kerry, D-Mass., when he became secretary of state.
Casey, in a statement, said that he was honored for the chance to serve on the commitee, "where I will continue to fight for Pennsylvania priorities. This assignment means I will have a seat at the table in addressing responsible tax reform to spur innovation, create jobs and promote economic growth.
"I will also be in an even better position to continue my efforts to level the playing field for American manufacturers through reasonable trade policy, ensure essential programs like Medicare work for current and future beneficiaries, (provide incentives for) research and development, and protect our future by providing children with access to affordable health care," he said.

Covergirl Flamed Out Shadow Pot Review & Swatches
Covergirl has a new range of single eyeshadows out entitled Flamed Out Shadow Pots. Covergirl Flamed Out Shadow Pots are available in twelve vibrant shades for Summer 2013 and I believe they will become a permanent part of the Covergirl Collection at some point.
These are an interesting take for Covergirl as they are apparently marketed towards a younger girl with Pink being the model for the collection and the colors all being quite vibrant. The price point is quite nice as well at a mere $3.49 each at Harmons. I imagine once they hit CVS and Walgreens they won't be as kindly priced but if you can snag them at under four bucks I'd say you got a bargain on your hands.
How are they?
Let's take a look!
Ok, so these are interesting. Flamed Out Shadow Pots do sound a little more exciting than they are. I dunno, Flamed Out, it sounds so dramatic eh? At first, I thought these were a mousse or a cream but they are actually single powder shadows.
They have a little screw top with a black compact design. I'd say they are a little bigger than a US quarter. Each weights in at .07 oz in size. The package is a little flimsy so you have to be careful with them as they break easily and are quite delicate. I broke one simply on the way to and from the drugstore. The formula is also a little powdery so once you swipe a brush or applicator into them they end up breaking off chunks.
Scorching Cocoa, Red Hot, Melted Caramel, Melted Gold
One of my biggest complains about the packaging is the shades are not named. They do have a number on them and you can match that number on the website with a name however, the actual packaging lacks the name. WTH!?
The texture is soft and velvety. They are powdery but not chalky in the least. They are most comparable to a lighter version of a Stila eyeshadow with that smooth, velvety texture that kinda feels almost creamy. Some shades have a little bit of chunky glitter in the mix but this isn't very noticeable on lids. They apply best with sponge eyeshadow applicators as I feel like they kick up way too much powder with a regular brush. I also felt like the fall out was a pain when a regular brush was used. A swipe of sponge applicator seemed the best application technique for me and also allowed for the best color pay off. At a swatch they are sheerer but have a better pigmentation and color pay off on lids when build with a sponge. They apply sheerer using a regular shadow brush. They seem to have a fairly good wear on my drier lids at around six hours without creasing but losing some of their vibrancy at around hour four to five. With primer I got excellent all day wear but again, some of the intensity of the shade seemed to fade at around the fifth hour.
Melted Caramel
Melted Gold
Red Hot
Scorching Cocoa
One thing that is nice about them is they make an excellent pair up with the new Flamed Out Shadow Pencils as you can use the pencils as a base and one of these on top. This creates a really killer eye look and the intensity is upped thanks to the vibrancy of the creamy shadow pencil as a base.
As mentioned above I find they are very delicate. They seem to break off big chunks of shadow no matter what applicator you use. I would not recommend travel with these and be careful to not drop them as chances are they won't survive a hit on your bathroom or bedroom floor.
At $3.49 I can honestly say they were fairly nice eyeshadows. Nothing incredible here, if anything at all they kinda remind me of something I'd find in a massive NYX Palette or something of the sort. I'd recommend a purchase if you can find them at a fairly low cost. However, knowing drugstores and the way they jack up prices I would NOT recommend picking them up at $5-$6 each….that wouldn't be money well spent.
These are available at the moment in Walmart and Harmons but I imagine they'll start working around the typical drugstores soon like CVS, Walgreens, etc….
If you tried them I'd love to hear your thoughts!
This product was purchased
by the Muse for review purposes.
Read my full disclosure statement here.
melted caramel and red hot looked great on you muse!!!
I think the names are just funny, Scorching Cocoa, Red Hot, Melted Caramel, Melted Gold, lol I guess these are better names then the overly sexual NARS ones, hehhe.
5/24/13 13:41 Sara:
In the last few days I've seen this collecton with the eye pencils and mascara in CVS and I just saw them in Ulta on my lunch break. Can't remember the Ulta price tho…
5/24/13 14:28 Jen:
I picked up two at Ulta for $4.99 each. Not awful, but I wouldn't pay it again…until they are buy one, get one 50% off.
5/24/13 15:10 Miss D:
Guess what? Since Pink is around our age that makes us…younger girls too! Yay! 😛
(yup, I had to go there)
BTW, "Red Hot" looks smokin' on you!
5/24/13 15:54 charlotte:
I gave these a look, but passed.. just found them a bit boring. Just regular shadows in pretty normal colors. Nothing spectacular that would warrant picking up a single shadow.
5/24/13 22:49 Cosmetics Aficionado:
These are pretty, it's a shame about the loss of vibrancy.
10/18/13 18:49 Liz:
That melted carmel looks GORGEOUS on you, though! Too bad about the longevity.

The dedicated volunteers who operate the Marcellus United Methodist Church Thrift Shop were recently honored at a luncheon. More than 30 ladies were present, including Earline Hall, one of the founders of the shop.
In the early 1970s Elmina Broadbent, along with volunteers Doris Mathieson, Helen Smith and Hall started the thrift shop in a small storage room at the church. It has expanded, and now also has a storage closet to house the many donations that come in from the generous Marcellus community.
The thrift shop is open from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Tuesday, Thursday and Friday, and the second Saturday of the month, from September through June, as well as during the Olde Home Days in June. During July and August summer hours are reduced to Thursdays from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. A rummage sale is held in the spring and fall to make room for fresh items.
Dick Tabor, a former Marcellus resident, made a miniature model of the thrift shop which he gave to Hall, who has given it to the United Methodist Women for permanent display at the church.
Profits earned from the thrift shop benefit many local charities such as the Marcellus Food Pantry and West Side Ministries in Syracuse, as well as national charities including the Red Bird Mission in Kentucky and UMCOR disaster relief.
The volunteer luncheon promoted several Marcellus business women: it was catered by First Cup Coffee Shop; Pastry caterer Sylvia King made the desserts, and door prizes were from The Chocolate Pizza Company.
Questions regarding the shop may be directed to co-managers Joyce Potucek, (volunteers), 673-1553 or Norma Tuttle, (donations), 673-2772.

City gets T.O. traffic measure petitions
Initiative calls for public votes on developments
Supporters of a measure to control traffic and development in Thousand Oaks submitted petitions to the city on Monday with 15,542 signatures, more than enough to put the initiative on the June ballot, they say.
If approved by city voters, the Right to Vote on Traffic Congestion Initiative would require a public vote on every large development project that would worsen local traffic congestion.
City Clerk Linda Lawrence received the petitions Monday and began work to confirm the number of signatures.
"After we've done that, we'll transport it to the county, which will verify the signatures," Lawrence said. "They have 30 working days to do that, and once they've certified whether it is sufficient or not, they'll return it to the City Council."
City spokesman Andrew Powers said valid signatures of 10 percent of Thousand Oaks registered voters, or 6,909, are needed to put the initiative on the ballot in the next regular city election. He said 15 percent, or 10,364 valid signatures, would force the city to hold a special election.
The city could meet the special election requirement by placing it on the June ballot, coinciding with the regular state primary, said Harvey Englander, a campaign consultant working for the measure.
The two co-sponsors of the initiative, Thousand Oaks residents Nino DeFranco and Mojtaba Sedihgi, filed the petitions Monday along with environmental consultant Jim Aidukas, who has helped them.
"We know voters now have a choice, and that's all we wanted, and to do what's best for the community," DeFranco said.
"Everyone's concerned about traffic," said Aidukas, adding that it took only 30 days out of the 180 days allowed to collect the signatures. "There's great support out there for the initiative, and this will put in the hands of the people control over what happens on city streets."
The initiative asks that voter approval be sought for any future retail or commercial development that exceeds 75,000 square feet and has a significant effect on local traffic.
It also requires voter approval for any future non-commercial or residential development of more than 100,000 square feet that has a significant effect on local traffic.
"It's not asking for a ban on such developments," Aidukas said. "It's asking that the people decide whether that project should go ahead and not just the City Council."
The Thousand Oaks Boulevard Association, a group of business and property owners along and near the boulevard, recently voted to oppose the initiative. The association's president, Cal Johnston, said the measure would stop "dead in its tracks" their effort to improve the area.
The signature-gathering effort followed the announcement that a Home Depot store was planned at the former Kmart site on Hampshire Road. It would be the second Home Depot in Thousand Oaks.

This Sunday, September 17, the fifth annual West Hollywood Book Fair features the panel "Pulp Grind Manifesto: Writing the Monthly Comic Book."
The panel is the first comic book writers panel to be part of the popular West Hollywood Book Fair and will be held at the Comics/Sci-Fi Pavilion located at 647 N San Vicente Blvd., West Hollywood, CA 90069. The time is from 1:30 to 2:30 PM.
Panelists are entirely LGBT and LGBT-friendly: multiple-award winning Allan Heinberg (Wonder Woman, Young Avengers and TV hit Grey's Anatomy) another award-winner Brian K. Vaughan (Y: the Last Man, Ex Machina and the original graphic novel Pride of Baghdad,) female super-hero pioneer Devin Grayson (Nightwing, Batman: Gotham Nights, Matador and the novel DC Universe: Inheritance) and fan-favorite Mark Waid (52, Infinite Crisis, Supergirl and the Legion of Super-Heroes, John Doe and too many more monthly comics to list).
At 2:30 PM, after the panel, all four will be signing autographs and greeting fans at the Golden Apple booth. Organized by writer Joshua Dysart (Swamp Thing, Captain Gravity and the Power of Vril) the panel will be moderated by Christine Boylan (Superman Secret Files) and Roz Helfand (Book Fair organizer). Expected in this spirited discussion include such diverse topics as the relevance of comics in the broader cultural creative process, gender and sexual politics in the medium and the perceived aesthetic mandates of the so-called comic book mainstream. Its unique approach will have each discussion topic distilled into a single manifesto statement which must be agreed upon by all four of these very different writers!
Dysart commented to Prism, "With such a diverse group of writers, all of them queer or queer-friendly, it's obvious to expect sexuality and the place of queer creators and themes in comics to be part of the discussion. We hope the L.A. LGBT comics community will be there to support this new and exciting event."
