Healthy Origins
7 Keto DHEA
7 Keto (a trade name for 3-acetyl-7oxo dehydroepiandrosterone or 7-oxo-DHEA) is a substance found naturally in the body and is primarily produced by the adrenal glands. 7 Keto is metabolized from DHEA and similar to DHEA, 7 Keto levels have been known to decline with advancing age. However, unlike DHEA 7 Keto does not convert to Estrogen or Testosterone. This lack of conversion with 7 Keto may be beneficial since overproduction of these two hormones can lead to unwanted side effects.*

text: Close Tweet0 Share0 Comment0 Share0 Share0 Stumble It0 Print0 More Audibles Denard Robinson drafted in Round 5 by the Jacksonville Jaguars by Chris Burke Twitter Email Posted: Sat Apr. 27, 2013 Denard Robinson will get a chance to showcase his open-field running ability in Jacksonville. (Scott W. Grau/Icon SMI)Denard Robinson, one of the 2013 NFL Draft's most intriguing wild cards, is headed to Jacksonville. The Jaguars used the 139th overall pick on the former Michigan athlete (and new cover star of EA Sports' "NCAA Football" video game franchise).A tweet sent out by the team immediately after taking Robinson may be telling:Jaguars take Denard Robinson, running back from Michigan.— Jacksonville Jaguars (@jaguars) April 27, 2013Robinson played quarterback at Michigan prior to suffering a nerve injury in his elbow last season. He then eventually moved into the Wolverines' backfield as a running back behind QB Devin Gardner.But during Senior Bowl week, the NFL combine and Michigan's Pro Day, scouts asked Robinson to run through drills at receiver (as well as punt/kick returner) -- the thought being that Robinson's athleticism would make him a weapon there.The Jaguars may eventually go that route, as well, but Robinson did some impressive work when used strictly out of the backfield at Michigan. He's a dangerous weapon with the ball in his hands, so why not cut straight to the chase by handing it off to him, rather than asking him to get open out wide?Jacksonville also nabbed South Carolina speedster Ace Sanders on Day 3. Sanders figures to be the Jaguars' main return man, if nothing else. And with Sanders and Robinson in tow, the Jaguars have a lot more options on offense in terms of how creative they can be.Both players are fully capable of going the distance at any point and thrive when they get the ball in space. Robinson may require Jacksonville to open up the playbook a little more, but that probably is not a bad thing for an offense that has slogged through recent seasons. Promoted Stories Comments

A meeting after the legislative session may be planned.
Dr. Huerta also noted she had spoken to Board Member Chuck Davis and LCPS Superintendent Joann Patton regarding the new high school the LCPS will build. There has been some interest in making the new high school a vocational technical school. Mr. Davis and Dr. Patton do not agree with this.

Dr. Chieffo added that other evaluationdswould be coming up. The next round will be for the non credit division deans, directors, program directors, and department chairs.

|7 - Announcements
|Ms. Aguilera-Goerner noted her division was moving ahead with the faculty
searches open in her area - math, English. Her, along with five other staff
attended the Developmental Education Conference in Albuquerque. It was
sponsored by New Mexico Association of Community Colleges (NMACC) and
the Lumina Grant. ABE staff also attended. The biggest concern that came
up at the conference was training for adjunct and collaboration between ABE
and developmental education. Dr. Hunter Boylan did a wonderful
presentation along with many other experts.
Ms. Nickerson noted ABE was successful in getting funding in the amount of $39,500 for workplace initiative from the Workforce Development Board. It will be used for computer literacy training for NMSU groundkeepers and custodians. Also, ABE received $15,000 for literacy.
Ms. Woods reported from faculty council: 1) on the Faculty Council agenda was whether the Budget and Facilities Committees should remain under Faculty Council. Committee on Committees recommended that it remain under Faculty Council. It was approved by Faculty Council. It will remain that 51% of these committees be faculty. Dr. Huerta noted that there was not a problem with 51% of the committees be made up of faculty, but there should be representation from other groups; 2) There will be two amendments posted: a) separate constitution to constitution and by laws and b) constitution amended and by laws amended; 3) Faculty Council supports u-pick-ums during the Spring Convocation. The Faculty Affairs Committee, co chaired by Ms. Martha McCaslin and Mr. Sam Micelli, will provide training on P&T notebooks (mentorship program) plus other training. Ms. Woods also asked for a report on the CAO search. Dr. Huerta noted the search has followed the normal process and she had received input from the search committee and the officers. A name has been submitted, but we have not received permission to offer. As soon as approved, Dr. Huerta will make announcement. We hope before semester ends.
Dr. Lillibridge noted that Ms. Sherilyn Noble's position would be posted. The deadline to finish Title V is coming up and the final report is due at the end of December. Ms. Kelly Brooks, Ms. Viola Silva, and Dr. Lillibridge will been work on the report. The PRIP updates were due last week. Please get them in. Dr. Jeff Seybert, Johns County Community College, will be the keynote speaker for the assessment conference. A meeting will be held on this campus on February 22. The Assessment Conference is on February 23-24. There have been 13 proposals from DABCC and 4 from main campus turned in. A total of 60 proposals were turned in. Dr. Lillibridge would like input on the enrollment reports - too much or not enough? Dr. Huerta noted that the CEO Unit would be meeting on the PRIP updates and she asked that everyone please get with their groups, work on, and turn in.
Ms. VanderGiesen noted she and Mr. Jerry Welch attended a meeting in TorC. Western New Mexico University (WNMU) and city representative were in attendance.
-Dr. Huerta, Dr. Bill Glenn, Ms. Marjorie Kimball, and Ms. VanderGiesen attended a meeting in Deming with WNMU. What we hear is that the community wants us, they are not satisfied with WNMU. Dr. Huerta gave a brief history of our association with Deming including Deming's request that we offer more than customized training and community education courses. An MOU between us and Deming was recently proposed and approved. Deming also has an MOU with WNMU. We were invited by the Deming Higher Education Advisory Committee to present to their committee. After finding out about our presentation, WNMU requested to present to the committee as well. A discussion followed on ABE, WNMU, and our relationship with Deming. Ms. VanderGiesen noted that this situation was the same in TorC.
--The Workforce Unit is working on an overall working draft strategic plan to align with PRIP.
--They will be running programs until the week before break.
--The Workforce Unit will have a unit retreat on January 13.
Dr. Chieffo noted Dr. Joye Hardiman would be the speaker for spring convocation. She will focus on learning communities.
--The college recently hosted a one and a half day work session with our Lunima coaches to work on DABCC's Work Plan. Dr. Chieffo thanked those who attended. The math faculty are already implementing some of the Work Plan. The Work Plan is expected to be finalized soon.
--Dr. Chieffo noted the PIF is looking excellent and is confident the college will pass.
-The class schedules for Summer 2006 have been submitted and all should be receiving proofs soon. Fall 2006 schedules on are hold until changes are finalized.
Mr. Welch noted his division was working on two positions they currently have open - CAD and welding. He added that information was left to TorC on what we could do and TorC will meet and decide.
Ms. Roberts noted that General Reese (WSMR) was retiring. The government wants to bring in a master's degree program and they have gone with NMSU's MBA degree. They will help NMSU with registration.
-Southwestern University has moved into White Sands. They offer only on-line courses and they will offer a Master's Degree Program in Leadership.
-The new houses being built on base are beautiful.
Dr. Carrica noted they were moving into the space at Sunland Park even though it is not totally complete. Final inspection is on Monday.
-New office hours for the Gadsden and Sunland Park Centers will become effective in January. They will match this campus (M-F 8:00 a.m. - 5:00 p.m.).
-Rattlesnakes have been seen at the Gadsden Center. Please be careful.
-Dr. Carrica noted that there was much interest in Southern Doña Ana County by El Paso Community College. Lots of marketing.
Mr. Burke noted he and Dr. Huerta sit on statewide NM HED task forces (Dr. Huerta - Geographic Service Areas Task Force and Mr. Burke - Formula Enhancement Task Force). He attended a Geographic Service Area Task Force meeting yesterday for Dr. Huerta. A lot of geographic information was given including that 77 credit students are attending EPCC.
-Mr. Burke and the human resources area are working on exempt and non exempt employees and the broad branding efforts by main campus. Mr. Burke, along with Ms. Kathe Stark, are evaluating what human resources on main campus has done. Main campus would like to see the system roll out early next year. Mr. Burke feels we need to jump in and try to do this, but has concerns with ability to roll out. There will be ground rules and we can tag on an equity analysis, especially for non exempt staff. For the next evaluation cycle, we would like to develop a new instrument for evaluation and differentiate for performance during our evaluation process. Dr. Huerta noted this was a good step for us and we should take the lead. We will be asking for your assistance, please work with us. Mr. Burke noted this would move the responsibility on us as well as responsibility and control on you as supervisors. The college will act as HR in some things like promotions and salary increases. There will be four bands: non exempt, exempt, administrators, and leadership. Each will have 3-4 zones. This will not relate to faculty. The appeal process will go up to Dr. Huerta. Ms. Roberts wanted to make sure White Sands personnel were not put with someone that does not do the same level. A discussion followed on classification and salaries.
Ms. Morris noted the Library now offered a Spanish language research tool. It is available 24 hours a day with 40 hours a week a live person will help. The other time, e-mail is available.
-Mr. Oscar Quintela has created data on free on-line resources.
Dr. Montoya reminded the group on the Student Awards Ceremony on Tuesday, December 6, 2005, at 6:00 p.m. in the Corbett Center, 3rd Floor. Over 200 folks are expected to be there.
-There are alternatives being looked at for commencement including moving it back to Fridays.
-Several months ago it was brought to this groups attention about the registration corrections being done poorly. This semester is no exception. There were close to 500 corrections processed. The college is losing funding because of corrections being done after the census date. A meeting with Faculty Affairs Committee is coming up to provide training to faculty, department chairs, program directors, and division deans on the how corrections effects student's financial aid. Dr. Huerta would like corrections to go through supervisor then to division dean. Division deans should be responsible. Ms. Woods suggested a presentation to Faculty Council during convocation. Ms. Sletten suggested a crash course to new advisors two days before advising starts.
Ms. Sletten noted her division was working on filling a position in Health Occupations. The first fall graduation for Nursing will be December 10, 2:00 p.m. at Oñate High School.
Mr. Walker noted his division currently has two faculty positions open: Computer & Information Technology and Business Office Technology.
Irene noted the scheduled Administrative Council meetings for 2006 were attached to the agenda. Please add to your calendars.
Mr. Burke suggested a discussion on the Fall 2006 schedule. After discussion, it was decided this would be on the January 2006 Administrative Council agenda. Irene will add to the January 2006 agenda.

News regarding McIntyre recycling machinery & equipment
SAS Car Dismantling Attachment sold in Europe
The first SAS Extreme Car Dismantling attachment to be sold in Europe has been successfully installed at a large car dismantling facility in Sweden – Walters Bildelar Auto Dismantlers near Gothenburg. The SAS Extreme car dismantling attachment offers greater material separation from ELVs and gives the car dismantler a better return on his scrap by giving better material separation on site and a corresponding increase in value.
The SAS Extreme consists of a rotating head with patented jaws which have jagged teeth for engine pulling and a needle nose flat type tip for wire harness retrieval. The unit has a streamlined exterior for quick and easy piercing of tight and stubborn areas.
The hold down arm to restrain vehicles is an option on the SAS Extreme and the arms are designed to pin to the existing dozer blade mounts, making use of the existing undercarriage hydraulics. This means no extra hydraulics are required. A shorter overall head also gives extended lifting and manoeuvring capabilities. The SAS Extreme is designed to work on excavators from 14 – 26 tonne. It is a versatile and efficient unit which will quickly separate a vehicle into as many different components as the dismantler requires.
SAS Forks have been making equipment for the US and Canadian market for many years and as such are an established, quality, supplier of attachments for car dismantling. McIntyre-JMC now represents the brand in UK and Europe. If you would like to know more about the SAS Extreme you can contact us on 0115 979 1478. You can also visit the SAS Forks website for additional photos and videos.
Container tilter manufacturer scoops top A-Ward
The world's leading manufacturer of container tilters, container loader and container unloaders, A-Ward, have scooped a number of honours at New Zealand's premier business awards. A-Ward beat some impressive competition, taking top honours at the Westpac Auckland Business Awards in the categories of 'Excellence in Exporting' and 'Excellence in Innovation' – before going on to take the top Supreme Overall Winner. All of us at McIntyre would like to congratulate Simon Ward and his team who have experienced significant global growth in recent years. This growth results from their ongoing commitment to quality and innovation – and, of course, being represented in the UK by McIntyre. There is no doubt that A-Wards container tilters, loaders and unloaders are the best on the market for maximising the amount of material which can be shipped in an export container. Their patented products have transformed business performance for thousands of companies across the globe.
A-Ward have recently supplied their state of the art equipment to Coca Cola in the USA, Toyota in Japan, a Heinekin brewery in Congo – and several scrap yards in the UK! We look forward to our continuing relationship with A-Ward, and in order to reduce lead times on these superb products, have just taken delivery of a new container tilter which can be dispatched immediately from stock.
For further information on A-Ward's product range see our own pages here, or view their website
Introducing the latest in handheld XRF metal analysers
McIntyre is now able to offer you the latest in hand-held X-Ray metal analysers in association with leading instrument manufacturers Oxford Instruments. X-MET8000 is a light, rugged and accurate XRF metal analyser designed to sort scrap fast and help you maximise your profits. Offering rapid on-site alloy identification and chemistry of most commercial alloys including aluminium, titanium, bronze and high temperature materials. In fact X-MET has the largest grade library, with over 1600 alloys. It is able to quantify tramp and penalty elements, and most importantly can be used in the toughest environments. X-MET800 is easy to use with proven "point and shoot" simplicity requiring minimal operator training. Its large colour touchscreen gives excellent results visibility even in direct sunlight.
Designed with scrap yards in mind, no tool is required to change the analysis window when broken or dirty. The results screen can also be customised to suit your own operation allowing you to display the information that is important to your business for example alloy grade, elemental composition, pass/fail messages, or elements listed in your chosen order. Extremely compact and balanced, so your operators will love you, the X-MET can be provided with an optional shield to prevent detector and X-ray tube damage when testing small components and sharp objects. Small sample sizes can be tested, such as turnings, wires down to 1mm diameter, fasteners and chips. X-MET can also be calibrated to handle the dust from catalytic converters.
McIntyre also supplies the Oxford Instruments' mPulse hand held laser metals analyser for fast metal sorting – which makes us the only company currently able to offer a complete analysis solution to the UK metals recycling industry.
See McIntyre recycling equipment at RWM
Be amongst the first to view our new McIntyre re-brand together with the latest in recycling equipment at this year's RWM (2014) stand 5S20-T21 from 16th to 18th September in Birmingham. The McIntyre stand at RWM will provide the launch site for the new Matrix 150 Easy cable granulation system, for example, which is being shown for the first time in the UK. This system is able to process up to 300kg an hour of all cable types when operated with a shredder. It has a new blade configuration which results in higher production rates at less cost, longer life, less maintenance and a reduced need for spare parts. The door is sound-proofed to reduce noise and the cutting chamber is equipped with anti-wear plates. Also new is the Wagner WS30 hard drive shredder, a double shaft shredder which has the ability to process 400 to 500kg an hour of hard drives. It completely destroys hard drives, ensuring that data is unrecoverable. It can also be used for destroying other data devices such as CDs and DVDs, plus general WEEE. Importantly, the machine can easily be transported. This removes the need to take hard drives off-site, which further aids data security.
Another top attraction will be the latest upgrade of the McIntyre catalytic converter guillotine. The system is already admired for its durability and the rate at which it processes and recycles catalytic converters. Now, McIntyre further enhances its safety features with the addition of an innovative hands-free opening system. The guillotine's previous design had prevented operators from accessing the cutting blade. With this new version, McIntyre has also made the process of opening the catalytic converters after cutting hands-free, making this the safest equipment on […]
Cars 2014 car recycling expo – and the sun came out in Doncaster
We went prepared for rain but it was sunny in Doncaster for the 2014 Cars Expo. Motorhog provided a fantastic venue, allowing us to demonstrate all of our machinery in action. It makes such a change to see metal processing and car depollution machinery actually working, rather than looking pretty on a static stand. The new SAS Forks engine puller caused quite a stir – ripping out engines from cars in seconds, despite our rather unpracticed JCB driver. Once the engines were removed they were loaded directly into a JMC engine breaker which cracks and separates the engines into their component parts. Also on show was the new JMC catalytic converter guillotine which provides a safe method of recovering the valuable dust from catalytic converters. The MG car loom granulator looked impressive, producing clean copper granules from car looms – although we failed to process all of the 17 tonnes of car looms somewhat hopefully provided for us by Motorhog. The Vortex car depollution stand, tower and mobile fuel tool all sold, car lifts and fuel extraction systems all sold at the show. Tyres were processed on a McIntyre 600 tyre and radiator cutter, and also via a Vortex wheel popper which removes them from steel and alloy wheels. We also demonstrated the versatility of the JMC Metal-i-can multipurpose metal baler as it might light work of oil filters and radiators. All in all a great show, well worth a visit for both scrap metal and car recyclers. If you missed it and would like to know more about our car recycling equipment, or receive our show brochure please contact us.
Next Stop – Cars Expo 2014 Doncaster
Perhaps not quite as exotic as Las Vegas, but Motorhog in Doncaster UK is the venue for Cars Expo 2014 on 5th and 6th of June. JMC is a headline sponsor for the show and will be demonstrating a complete range of equipment for car recycling, from Vortex car-de-pollution equipment right through to machines able to process car components such as engines, catalytic converters and car looms. Taking centre stage this year will be the SAS Scorpion, an engine puller able to remove the entire engine and transmission from vehicles in only 30 seconds. Fitted to a JCB wheel loader, Scorpion will be in action throughout both days of the show. Also on offer will be an MG cable granulation system which has been modified for processing car looms. MG cable granulators are the best in the world for separating the metal and plastic from all types of cable. The new JMC catalytic converter guillotine will also be in action along with JMC alligator shears, the JMC oil filter baler, and engine cracker. Vortex de-pollution will be represented by a Vortex tower with roaming oil and water drainer, a Vortex stand, a mobile fuel tool and a vehicle lift and tilt system. Motorhog operate an RB6000 car baler manufactured by Idromec. This machine won't be running, but visitors will be able to see how nice it is. JMC are the UK distributors for Idromec.
So if you process vehicles, or want to start, then come to Motorhog in Doncaster for Cars 2014. Further details on the show can be found here.
See us at ISRI14 Las Vegas
Our genuine McIntyre alligator shears will be on show on the OBC stand number 1648 at ISRI14 Las Vegas. We will have a McIntyre 200B, the ever popular McIntyre 407 and a McIntyre 500 shear with hold down – just part of our complete line of hydraulic alligator shears which range in size from 6″ in blade length up to more than 24″ blade length. MC has been selling hydraulic metal shears in the States for over forty years and as more than 4000 in operation. We are now looking for the oldest working McIntyre alligator shear in America. So if you think you have it, contact us with a photo of the machine and a close up of the serial number plate. There's a stone flagon of McIntyre Spirit of Dunkirk whisky (the last we know of in existence) on offer to the owner of the oldest shear we find. Also see our new catalytic converter guillotine on the Vortex stand number 1448. We look forward to seeing you on one of our ISRI2014 stands!
Latest mobile shredder to be demonstrated in Spain
Demonstrations of the new THOR 2121 K mobile shredder will take place in Spain 23rd to 30th April. This plant is specifically designed to handle scrap metal and has the largest hammer mill of any other mobile shredder manufactured worldwide. An impressive machine, the 2121K is unusual in that it has the capacity to process whole vehicles.
With increasing requests now coming in for large scale mobile shredders for the construction, waste and metals industries, JMC has formed an alliance with ZB Shredders of Spain. With a high reduction capacity, ZB mobile shredder units can handle light metal scrap, demolition waste, white goods, aluminium gear boxes, electronic scrap, used beverage cans and, with the new 2121K, even cars. Models available able to handle from 1 to 1.5 tonnes per hour up to a staggering 20 to 30 tonnes an our output of ferrous scrap and 15 to 20 tonnes per hour of aluminum scrap. The machines are equipped with heavy duty hammer mills. Options include remote control and magnetic separation.
These mobile shredders are truly unique, ideal for the metals and construction industries where mobility is important, but useful in a whole range of applications.
If you would like to see the new 2121K mobile shredder in action next month then phone us on 0115 9409630 or email email@example.com

JMC ingot casting machines set sail for Mexico
Our 30th aluminum ingot casting machine set sail for Mexico last month with two more going out early this year. Aluminium ingot casting equipment has become an important and valued part of our business and we very much appreciate our latest, and indeed all of our ingot casting machinery customers.
JMC ingot casting machines are primarily for aluminium and were originally developed in our own foundry. As such we recognize that an ingot casting machine has to be extremely well built to ensure long life in a foundry environment – as well as being fast, efficient and 100% reliable. We source only the best castings and components and build the frames in house from high-quality steel. Our pouring systems have been designed to minimise dross formation in turn dramatically improving the ingots produced. An adjustable speed system allows the volume of metal poured into each mould to be accurately controlled, producing ingots of a consistent weight and dimension. As the moulds travel up the incline and around the head sprockets they invert, allowing the ingots to fall assisted by two hammers.
We have a number of basic models to produce cones, cubes or long bar ingot with ingot production capacities from 5 to 10 tonnes an hour. JMC ingot casting machines can also be purpose-built to meet your own foundry requirement.
Further information on our ingot casting machines can be found on our dedicated ingot casting website.

PROJECT LIFESAVER INTERNATIONAL - Radio tracking system locates missing loved ones
Project Lifesaver International is a non-profit 501(c)3 corporation founded in October 1998, by Chief Gene Saunders. Prior to retiring from the Chesapeake Police Department in Virginia after 33-years of service, he handled search and rescue operations. He saw, firsthand, the need for help in locating loved ones with Alzheimer's disease who had wandered.
"Chief," as he's called by friends and co-workers, came across a brochure about wildlife tracking and wondered, "Why can't we use this for Alzheimer's patients?" A local hospital agreed to fund a pilot program that included the development of a tracking device and training. About a month into the program, they had their first rescue, who was located in less than two minutes.
"Then the calls started flooding in," said Chief.
Here's how it works, loved ones at risk of wandering - those with Alzheimer's disease, Autism or other cognitive disorders - wear a small personal transmitter (similar looking to a Swatch watch) around the wrist or ankle that emits an individualized tracking signal.
If an enrolled client goes missing, the caregiver notifies their local Project Lifesaver agency, and a trained emergency team responds to the wanderer's area. Most who wander are found within a few miles from home, reducing search times from hours and days to minutes.
Local Project Lifesaver agencies include Martin and Indian River County Sheriff's Offices. Representatives from those law enforcement agencies lead the search by air using a hand-held device that is reminescent of the old television antennae. Among the organizations partnering with Project Lifesaver are Treasure Coast Pilot Club, Fort Pierce Police Department's Plant-a-Seed, Autism Speaks, Pilot International, Alzheimer's Foundation of America, Alzheimer and Parkinson Association of Indian River County and National Autism Association.
"Until 2001, it was all handled through the Chesapeake Police Department," said Chief. "The I incorporated it as a 501(c)3 non-profit. I believe what we do should be viewed as a service, not a profit-making business."
Since retiring in 2001, Chief has devoted his life to Project Lifesver, continually updating the equipment and developing training programs for use by law enforcement, as well as family members of those afflicted with cognitive disorders.
"The equipment originally wasn't water-proof, was cumbersome and had less than a mile radius," said Chief. "Today, it's digital, is waterproof, runs on AAA batteries and has a three-mile radius. We are constantly redesigning the bands worn by the clients."
"Tracking them is only half the job," continues Chief. "We still have to know how to approach the person; how to talk to them and gain their confidence."
After being founded in Virginia, Project Lifesaver is now located in Port St. Lucie. Chief Gene Saunders welcomes your inquiries. He can be reached at (757) 546-5502 or by email at email@example.com.

MAC Fashion Sets Lipglass: Review, Swatches, Photos
On April 4th, MAC will release MAC Fashion Sets part two. This collection is already available online. In 2013 four distinctive sets, feature five impactful ways to wear Lipstick, Lip-glass, Lip Pencil, Eye Shadow and Nail Lacquer. These new inclusions of eyeshadow and lip liners really set the tone for bright brilliant color throughout the spring and summer months. Who doesn't want matching lips, eyes and nails, right?
Heroine is described as a "bright purple." It's a magenta purple with violet and pink pearl. This color is opaque and applies evenly to the lips. There is a glossiness to this lip glass that makes it appear a hint sheer. It looks great worn alone but adds a nice pop to the coordinating matte lipstick. There is a slight tackiness and it feels a little thicker in texture but, that could just be my imagination. This color wore for about 4 hours before reapplication was needed.
Ablaze is described as a "bright orange." It's a bold, medium orange with red undertones and golden shimmer. This color applies nice and evenly. It has a super shiny finish and isn't super tacky like some lip glasses can be. This one almost feel like jelly. It's bold but not in an in-your-face kinda way. One application lasted for well over 4 hours on me. When paired with the lip liner is lasted an extremely long time like over 8 hours only because I fell asleep with it on lol
Overall, these $15.00 for 0.17 fl. oz. lip glasses are nice. They aren't life changers and are very dupable. I will say that both lip glasses had a shininess that was unlike the regular lip glasses in the permanent lineup. Like with most MAC lip glasses there is tackiness that helps to prolong the wear of them. The last over 4 hours and have that standard vanilla scent.
MAC Fashion Sets are currently available online at maccosmetics.com and can be purchased at any Freestanding store or counter on Thursday April 4th.

One Day Outdoor Room MakeoverTuesday, May 7th, 2013
Hey everyone! Today I wanted to share a one day makeover I finished for my friend Cheryl over the weekend. You remember when I painted her piano last year? We were hanging out in the backyard by the pool and discussing the sitting space – they have a fabulous pool and a nice pergola but her outdoor seating area was not as pretty as she liked and didn't have any real sun protection.
We conspired how to change all that on a budget, work with what she had, and finish in a day. I shopped for a few things and added some DIY outdoor curtains made of canvas panels and grommets. You can see the "before" below with their wood pergola and sectional, and the "after" once I added the curtains and accessories.
She already had a great outdoor sectional they bought earlier this year with Sunbrella cushions (from Costco) the set just needed some color. I stopped by Lowes and Target and another local shop for a few supplies and pulled it all together for her in an afternoon. She wanted to include the blue tones from the backyard pool so that became the dominant accent color.

Well, I see the 6th Circuit Appeals Court overturned the ban on affirmative action even though a majority of voters in Michigan voted for it. Once again, we see that the vote and the will of the people do not count -- that somewhere outside of the state of Michigan a select group of people think they know best what is good for us. As in the case of Chief Justice John Roberts going against the will of the American people who said they did not want Obamacare.
I now see why voters say they are not voting because their vote doesn't count anyway. This case proves that.
Craig Knapp,
More than U-M
Units of government may now resume good-faith efforts to include minority workers and students.
Removal of the prohibition against studying how to hire or promote or admit African Americans, Native Americans, Hispanic Americans, Asian Americans, etc., frees towns, townships, school boards, drain boards, courts, counties, building authorities, housing authorities, finance authorities, public colleges, community colleges and intermediate school districts to think about discriminatory effects and see if they have any and consider remedies.
But we hear instead about U-M admissions, as if that were the subject.
Stuart Filler
Hollywood whining
The Michigan film community should just get over it. If the machine tool, metal fabricating or any other industry that employs people in our state received the kind of incentives the film industry enjoyed, we'd fill hundreds of theaters with workers who enjoy full-time jobs making real money and turning those dollars over by shopping, buying homes and sending their children to schools in Michigan, and not in Hollywood, Miami or New York.

White Horse memories
The closing of the White Horse Inn after 162 years in Metamora brought back memories. I am 83, and in the mid-1930s I was living on my great father's farm near Metamora. Every Monday night in the summer, fathers would drive us and park on the east side of the inn. We could watch movies through the clapboard, a thrill for Depression-era children -- Tom Mix, Hoot Gibson, etc. It was free, and the fathers would play cards at Tommy's Barber Shop.

A custodian an elementary school in Waipio has been charged with third-degree sexually assault. The complaint says the victim was less than 14 years old.
Court documents show James D. Holt is scheduled to appear in court on Thursday for his arraignment and plea. He is currently free on $50,000 bail.
The Department of Education said Holt has been a substitute custodian since 2000. Kanoelani Elementary School sent a note home to parents on Tuesday notifying them of the alleged sexual assault that happened on campus last week.
The DOE says Holt will not be working until his legal matters are resolved.

Buzek, Ziobro and Hubner the biggest winners in Poland
The former prime minister Jerzy Buzek, former justice minister Zbigniew Ziobro and commissioner Danuta Hubner are respectively number 1,2 and 3 in terms of number of votes in the EP election in Poland.
All got the support of over 300,000 voters (Buzek almost 400,000) in their circonscriptions. Buzek has won for the second time in a row.
I suspect you know who Buzek and Hubner are. Ziobro is one of the bulldogs of Law and Justice of the Kaczynski brothers. As justice minister he was most famous for calling a doctor a murderer before any charges were brought against him. Ziobro and a new anti-corruption office were searching for proof of corruption in a hospital. The doctor later proved to be innocent. I see that Kaczynski has just now advised Ziobro to learn some foreign languages before he goes to Brussels/Strasburg. Wise advice.

Giving your foot a break doesn't mean you have to sit around. Switch to activities like swimming or rowing (indoors or out), or use weight machines that don't press on your feet. Meanwhile, these remedies will ease that hot-coals feeling in your heel:
- Give yourself a 10- to15-minute ice massage twice a day. Roll your foot back and forth over a can of frozen juice to increase blood flow and help break down adhesions from the inflammation.
- Take a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory, such as ibuprofen, for pain relief.
- Place heel pads (you can find them at the drugstore) in your shoes.
- Do foot stretches before you get out of bed. That will reduce the pain, which is usually worse when your feet hit the floor in the morning. To do these stretches, sit up, bend forward and try to touch your toes, curling your toes toward your knees. Or just put one leg over the knee of the other, reach for the toes on the upper leg and pull toward you. Hold for 5 minutes.
- Stretch during the day. Put the ball of the sore foot on a step, hold the railing, and let your heel hang down. Or repeat the above toe stretch.
- Save the stilettos for weddings and parties -- most short guys think plantar fasciitis is revenge for high heels.

TAMPA, Fla. -- Cory Conacher had two goals and an assist to lead the Tampa Bay Lightning past the Winnipeg Jets 8-3 on Friday night.
Tampa Bay also got goals from Steven Stamkos, Vincent Lecavalier, Nate Thompson, Teddy Purcell, Ryan Malone and Benoit Pouliot. Stamkos and Lecavalier both added two assists.
The Lightning, 6-1-0 this season, have scored five or more goals in four consecutive games.
Tobias Enstrom, Paul Postma and Andrew Ladd scored third-period goals for Winnipeg, which has lost three in a row. The Jets were coming off a 6-3 loss at Florida on Thursday night in which the Panthers scored five third-period goals.
Conacher, Stamkos and Lecavalier all had first-period man-advantage goals as the Lightning, who started play with the NHL's fifth-best power play, grabbed a 3-0 lead. Winnipeg entered with the league's worst penalty-kill unit.
Stamkos has five goals and 14 points during a season-opening seven-game point streak.
Conacher put the Lightning up 1-0 when he deflected Matt Carle's blue-line shot past goalie Ondrej Pavelec 7:57 into the game. The rookie center (5 goals, 12 points) has at least one point in six of seven games this year.
Atlanta right wing Chris Thorburn received a five-minute penalty for checking from behind and a game misconduct for a hit on Lightning defenseman Sami Salo at 12:11 of the first.
Twice the Jets were called for minor penalties during Thorburn's 5-minute infraction, which resulted in 5-on-3 goals by Stamkos (14:11) and Lecavalier (16:55).
Winnipeg allowed three power-play goals in Thursday's loss to the Panthers.
Conacher made it 4-0 with another re-direction just 26 seconds into the second.
Thompson extended the lead to 5-0 on a goal that chased Pavelec with 15:17 left in the second. Purcell gave the Lightning a six-goal advantage by beating backup goalie Al Montoya one minute after Thompson's goal.
Anders Lindback lost his shutout bid when Enstrom scored at 5:34 of the third. Postma added his first NHL goal, coming on a power-play 61 seconds later.
Malone and Ladd traded goals midway through the third. Pouliot added a late third-period goal.

Detection of Right Ventricular Dysfunction by 2D Strain During Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrom (ARDS) (STRAIN)

- How to Read a Study Record
Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) and mechanical ventilation can lead to right ventricular dysfunction and ultimately right ventricular failure by increasing pulmonary vascular resistances and pressure load. This can be prevented by modifying ventilator settings, using vasopressors or inotropes or even by prone positionning.But to do so, right ventricular dysfonction has to be detected. Echocardiography has emerged as a first line tool to diagnose right heart failure. Recently, strain analysis showed promising results to detect early right ventricle abnormalities in other settings such as pulmonary hypertension or scleroderma. We therefore decided to determine whether 2D strain could help detect early right ventricular dysfunction in ARDS.
Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome
Right Ventricular Dysfunction
Right Heart Failure
Acute Cor Pulmonale
|Study Type:
|Study Design:
|Observational Model: Cohort
Time Perspective: Prospective
|Official Title:
|Detection of Right Ventricular Dysfunction by 2D Strain During Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrom (ARDS)
- Right ventricle 2D strain [ Time Frame: Duration of mechanical ventilation ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]We will assess whether 2D strain can detect a right ventricular dysfunction as compared to standard echocardiographic parameters
- Mean right ventricle strain under ventilated patients [ Time Frame: at inclusion ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]We measure right ventricle strain (RV strain) in patients under mechanical ventilation for a non-respiratory cause. This allows us to determine the mean value of RV strain under ventilation when there is no respiratory failure.
- Reproducibility between transthoracic and transesophageal strain measures [ Time Frame: Time of mechanical ventilation ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]In ARDS patients, we record a transthoracic and transesophageal echocardiography. We compare RV strain values obtained from transthoracic and transesophageal echocardiography.
- NT pro BNP and pre pro endothelin plasma level [ Time Frame: At inclusion in ARDS patients ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]These assays are made based on the hypothesis they could help discriminate between patients who will develop a right ventricular dysfunction from those who will not. A blood sample is withdrawn at the same time as echocardiography only in the ARDS group.
Biospecimen Retention: Samples Without DNA
Plasmatic levels of NT proBNP and pre pro endothelin are monitored in ARDS group to determine whether these biomarkers can help detect right ventricular dysfunction.

BANGOR, Maine (NEWS CENTER)-- Getting your produce straight from the farm is the best way to know it's fresh and healthy. And there's a way you can get all of you favorite farm raised meat, produce and dairy on a weekly basis this summer. It's called the Community Supported Agriculture program and it makes getting farm groceries as easy as getting a newspaper.
"It stands for Community Supported Agriculture and it's basically a partnership between farms and customers. And it's like a subscription program, so it's like a newspaper subscription- for vegetables," says Gene Ripley of Ripley Farm.
The CSA Program lets customers build relationships with participating farms in the spring to receive their favorite local produce every week throughout the summer, giving each customer a chance to support a Maine farm all season.
"I think it's absolutely great. It's a great way to get lots of healthy food on the table for families, it's a great way to get to know your farmers more if you're coming and picking up from them or if they're coming and dropping off for you. It kind of gives more of a bond between farmers and the people that are buying from them," says Erin Donahue of Balfour Farm.
At Saturday's Meet Your Farmer's CSA Fair, food patrons had the opportunity to meet the local growers that put food on their tables. There were taste testings, samples, as well as meats, cheeses and vegetables for sale.
Ripley says, "Our rainbow carrots right here are really hot selling and people like trying the new colors. Purple was actually the original color of carrots."
Patrons could also subscribe to one of the 13 farms present while enjoying the fair. Farmers find the program helps them build strong relationships with customers, and that that's what keeps them coming back. And the fair is great way to get to know future customers.
"So this way, farmers are able to build those relationships early on and then keep those relationships going throughout the season. And it's fun for customers," says Erin Sweeney, Agricultural Organizer with Food AND Medicine.
Many farms have CSA programs during other seasons and throughout the year. For more information or to subscribe to a farm, you can visit www.mofga.net

TMRW Magazine Features More Than Conquerors
Whist it might be easy to box More Than Conquerors into the radio-friendly alternative-punk rock bracket cornered by the likes of Biffy Clyro and Twin Atlantic, the diversity and range of styles on their debut album 'Everything I've Learnt' would make that a rash judgement.
The quartet from Belfast – Kris Platt (Vocals/Guitar), Danny Ball (Guitar), Danny Morton (Bass) and Jamie Neish (Drums) – formed in 2009 and have already released two EPs on the independent label Smalltown America.
Having supported the likes of Jimmy Eat World, Feeder and Ash on tour, the band released their self-titled debut in 2010 to acclaim and followed it up twelve months later with 'Boots and Bones'. "Bear Knuckle Fight" from that 2011 release was added to the BBC Radio 1 playlist in July 2012 and their stock has continued to rise.
The band's dynamic and affecting style has been developed further on their debut album release and the opening track, "All That We Can", bursts right into action with fifteen seconds of thundering guitar and heavy-hitting drums. Softened by the following melodic vocal and the effect draws similarities with fellow post-hardcore outfit Exit Ten.
The Biffy Clyro-echoing in both instrumental and vocal of latest single, "Pits of Old", follows and the relentless energy of the first three tracks then gives way to a more restrained and sensitive middle-part of the album, highlighting the diversity of sound and ideas the band are trying to implement.
Vocalist Kris Platt explains on their Smalltown America profile how, having been brought up within the church, the band's name is taken from a bible quotation and the recurring themes of the record serve to evoke questions surrounding their personal and musical background.
"Jaw" muses on "what if we all die young?" whilst "Bring Me to the Blood Bank", with its piano keys mirroring the lyrics and almost mournful backing vocal, creates a haunting poignancy. It's interludinal and, at just over thirty-five minutes in length over eleven tracks, the LP rushes by in a blur at times adding savour to the diverse, more melodic and emotive moments at midway.
'Everything I've Learnt' has swathes of the alternative-punk rock sound akin to the likes of Biffy Clyro and Paramore whilst also "provoking the growth of new ideas", as Platt laid out, in its lacing together of relentless energy with more reflective and emotive moments.
See the band's debut album brought to life at their next and only current live gig scheduled at the Hoxton Square Bar & Kitchen on 13th February.

A little more than eight months ago, then-Knox County Trustee John Duncan III reached out to local prosecutors, asking them not to immediately seek charges against him so he could continue helping federal investigators on a separate matter.
Duncan, who was sentenced Thursday in a finance scandal tied to handing out bonuses for work that was never done, hoped that his cooperation would influence any charges and subsequent punishment the state would bring against him.
In a letter obtained by WBIR, Duncan also agreed to waive the statute of limitations for any charges, including "theft, official misconduct and all lesser included charges arising from payments made to me and to certain employees of the Knox County Trustee's Office in 2010 and 2011."
"I understand that the purpose of the statute of limitations is to protect me," he wrote in a Nov. 29, 2012, statement to Knox County District Attorney General Randy Nichols. "However, I believe that in this matter the statute of limitations would work to my disadvantage as opposed to my advantage since it will result in charges being brought against me before I can complete my cooperation with federal authorities and General Nichols has an opportunity to consider the full extent of my cooperation."
Duncan, 33, was granted judicial diversion Thursday on a felony charge - official misconduct - and sentenced to one year of unsupervised probation and fined $604. Under diversion, he can seek to wipe his record clean if he abides by the terms of his probation.
He is accused of giving himself and five other employees each a $3,000 bonus that was supposed to go only to those who attain the designation of "certified public administration," something none of them had achieved.
Local politicos and elected officials inside the City County Building where many top leaders work have long suggested that Duncan was working in some capacity with federal investigators, although no one seemed to know the details.
Duncan's statement, a one-page document buried in a case file kept by the Knox County Criminal Court clerk's office, is the first public pronouncement that he was in contact with the feds.
Just what he discussed, however, remains to be seen, as no one wanted to talk about the statement on Thursday.
U.S. Department of Justice spokesman Marshall Stone said "because the case has moved from the investigation phase to the prosecution phase, any comments would come from the United States Attorney's Office."
Sharry Dedman-Beard, spokeswoman for the U.S. Attorney's Office East District of Tennessee, would only say: "We never confirm or deny any ongoing investigations."
Federal Bureau of Investigation spokeswoman Kelly Kindness also did not return a call seeking comment.
Duncan's camp also declined to comment.
"I don't have anything else to say other than what I said outside the courtroom," said his attorney Jeff Hagood, referring to a few comments he made Thursday morning about how his client will work to rebuild his tarnished reputation.
Whether Duncan's cooperation worked in his favor also could more than likely go unanswered.
As she sentenced him to a year of unsupervised probation on Thursday, Knox County Criminal Court Judge Mary Beth Leibowitz said she would grant Duncan judicial diversion because he admitted that he did wrong and accepted responsibility.
She also cryptically noted that Duncan "has done some things that the attorney general has found to be helpful to him," but did not elaborate.
When contacted by WBIR, Nichols said: "I'll let the document speak for itself."
Nichols also declined to say whether Duncan's late November statement played a role in when he accepted his plea. But, it came roughly two weeks before Duncan's ex-chief of staff, Joshua Burnett, and the office's former delinquent tax attorney, Chad Tindell, each pleaded guilty to facilitation of official misconduct, a misdemeanor. Both were sentenced to one year of probation and granted judicial diversion in their connection with the bonus payments.
In his statement, Duncan asked the attorney general to withhold "seeking charges against me for 90 days from this date to allow me to cooperate with federal authorities in separate matters and to allow District Attorney Nichols to consider such cooperation in disposing of any charges brought against me . . . ."
Duncan pleaded guilty to official misconduct on July 2.
When asked Thursday whether he planned to work out a deal with Duncan late last year, Nichols said "I'm really not allowed to say at this time."

Comfortable socks for ski or snowboard
By Chris
from Michigan
About Me Athletic
Bought these socks for snowboarding trips where 4-5 pairs are needed and to replace old socks. My socks last ~2-3 seasons so they need to be comfortable, wick moisture, stay upright (not bunch) and shouldn't have any pressure points. These socks meet all my criteria.
