Donna Bickford, Ph.D., is having an immensely gratifying experience on her Fulbright Fellowship in Finland. The classes that she is teaching are going extremely well, are very popular, and, additionally, she has received numerous invitations to give presentations of her research: next Tuesday she is going to give a presentation about oppositional histories in novels by women writers of the Americas (based on some of her dissertation work directed by Professor Dana Shugar) to a Graduate Research Seminar at the University of Turku. Later in October, she will speak at the North American Voices conference in Turku. Several other Fulbrighters will be in attendance--each person is supposed to give a brief 20 minute talk for a general audience, not an academic one, although many in the audience will be students from the North American and Latin American studies program. Donna is going to talk about Latina literature. At the end of the month, Donna will give a brief lunch presentation at the International Lunch Club which is an offshoot of the International Association of University Women, describing the kinds of scholarship and work that she does. Donna has been asked to give the Keynote Presentation at the Annual Party for the Britannica vid Åbo Akademi, which is the student association for English Language and Literature majors - on a topic of her choosing. They're celebrating their 30 year anniversary. Finally, Donna will give a joint seminar for the WMS department at her Fulbright host institution and at the University of Turku in December, where she will talk about her current project on Lucha Corpi and the productive epistemological framework created in her novels (i.e., how we can make sense of an increasingly globalized world).
Valerie Karno is making a presentation entitled, "Affirmative Action in 2003" this September for Diversity Week at URI.

The Literature TA Program, under the Direction ofAssistant ProfessorNaomi Mandel, continues to provide our graduate students with a forum in which to discuss issues related to pedagogy and develop innovative and productive teaching techniques. This September, Literature TA Committee member Greta Methot led the first of three "grade norming" sessions that generated a thoughtful discussion about grading criteria and grade inflation. Literature TA Committee member Piotr Skuza directed a workshop on questions asked in the classroom. In the course of this workshop, graduate students were invited to consider what type of questions they ask their students in class. They proceeded to rank these questions and trace their development from content-related questions to questions that produce analytical and synthetic thinking. They then generated "question stems" for each type of question for use in their own classes, and discussed what type of question might be best asked by the instructor, and what type might be best asked by the students. Workshop participants unanimously declared the workshop "immensely helpful." Additional teaching workshops will be led by Literature TA Committee members Ellen Partridge and Kyle Hetrick.
Valerie Karno's graduate seminar this Fall is titled "Postmodernism of the Americas," and looks at the seemingly unlikely intersections between American Studies and current Postmodern thinking.
Assistant Professor Libby Miles has designed and implemented the first Honors Program Learning Community, in which students take three classes together to foster a deeper intellectual and personal commitment to each other and to URI. This year, students in the Honors Learning Community are encouraged to attend The Futures of Globalization colloquium events, as they are simultaneously enrolled in the Honors version of WRT 101 (HPR 112, Negotiating Public Perspectives), Latin American History with Dr. Rosamaria Pegueros, and a URI 101 section that Miles teaches.
Associate Professor Nancy Cook supervised an Honors thesis, Matthew Papino, Villages of Cranston, and directed a doctoral dissertation to completion this year, Renee Somers, Edith Wharton as a Theorist of Space.
Associate Professor Celest Martin continues to forge links between the South Kingstown Farm School (now located on the URI campus) and departments at URI.

Professor Mary Cappello was recently acknowledged in two books by students whose dissertations she directed at the University of Rochester: Kristen Boudreau, Sympathy in American Literature: American Sentiments from Jefferson to the Jameses, and Linda Karell, Writing Together/Writing Apart: Collaboration in Western American Literature.
On Friday, March 27 th, 2003, at the URI Providence Campus, the following faculty participated in An Improvisational Session with Mikhail Epstein, Samuel Candler Dobbs Professor of Cultural Theory and Russian Literature at Emory University: Sona Aronian (Modern Languages/Russian, University of Rhode Island); Stephen Barber (English, University of Rhode Island); Mary Cappello (English, University of Rhode Island); Thomas Epstein (Russian, Boston College); Dan Novak (Philosophy, Feinstein College of Continuing Education, URI/Providence); Jean Walton (English, University of Rhode Island). A complete transcript of the improvisational texts (sans Mikhail's contribution which was lost) can now be found at Epstein's website: IMPRONET (Improvisational Network), a system of Web pages devoted to the art of intellectual improvisation and to the experiments in the communicative generation of new ideas. http://www.emory.edu/INTELNET/impro_home.html
Epstein's improv sessions take the following form: between 5 and 12 participants, preferably from an array of disciplines, is invited to devote several hours to the following exercise: each member of the group will propose a topic, out of which one will be chosen by negotiation. An hour or so will be devoted to individual writing on the chosen topic, followed by individual reading and group discussion of each essay. Participants should be prepared to improvise on any topic, including the trivia of everyday life, from the angles of their professional discipline, personal experience or philosophical world view. They are also invited to become specialists in alternative, virtual or non-existent disciplines. This improvisational session is what might be called a metaphysical assault on everyday things. It can also be identified with the task Richard Rorty has set for thinkers of the future: to be "all purpose intellectuals . . . ready to offer a view on pretty much anything, in the hope of making it hang together with everything else." Experiments in collective improvisations began in Moscow ( Russia) in 1982.
Topics suggested for the session held at URI were questions (Sona); author (Stephen); belts (Mary); still water (Thomas); linguistic lacunae (Mikhail); shoes (Dan); triggers (Jean). The topic that the group agreed to write for 1 hour on was "belts." The texts, which have just now appeared on the WEBSITE are: "At the Supermarket," Jean Walton; "Embraced and Constrained; Opened and Closed," Stephen Barber; "The Tao of the Belt," Dan Novak; "Love Song," Thomas Epstein; "The World Needs to Be Unbelted," Sona Aronian; "Belting Out, Belting In," Mary Cappello. A two hour discussion followed presentation of the texts, and most of the participants have since incorporated aspects of the improvisational praxis into their teaching or writing.

Former PSU President, two others charged with Sandusky cover-up
HARRISBURG — Prosecutors on Thursday accused deposed Penn State University President Graham Spanier and two former university administrators of engaging in a "conspiracy of silence" to conceal allegations against child molester Jerry Sandusky.
Police charged Spanier, 64, of State College with five felonies and three misdemeanor counts of perjury, obstruction of justice, conspiracy, endangering the welfare of children and failure to report abuse.
Authorities added similar charges against suspended Athletic Director Tim Curley, 58, and former administrator Gary Schultz, 63, who are awaiting trial on charges of lying to a grand jury.
Attorney General Linda Kelly said the men turned a blind eye to complaints of Sandusky's showering with young boys in 1998 and 2001.
"This is not a mistake, an oversight or misjudgment," Kelly said while announcing the charges and discussing a grand jury presentment with state police Commissioner Frank Noonan. "This was a conspiracy of silence by top officials at Penn State, working to conceal the truth, with total disregard to the suffering of children."
Spanier, who led the state's largest university for 16 years until trustees removed him from office last November, did not respond to calls for comment. His lawyers issued a statement maintaining his innocence and blaming Gov. Tom Corbett, who as attorney general started the Sandusky investigation.
"Today's presentment is the latest desperate act by Governor Tom Corbett to cover up and divert attention away from the fact that he failed to warn the Penn State community about the suspicions surrounding Jerry Sandusky, and instead knowingly allowed a child predator to roam free in Pennsylvania. Its timing speaks volumes. These charges are the work of a vindictive and politically motivated governor working through an un-elected attorney general, Linda Kelly, whom he appointed to do his bidding," read the statement by Philadelphia attorney Peter Vaira and others.
Corbett spokesman Kevin Harley said Spanier's statement "is the ranting of a man who has just been indicted for covering up for a convicted pedophile."
Schultz and Curley also maintain their innocence.
"The prosecution did not provide us any advance notice of the new charges," said Curley's lawyer Caroline Roberto. "We are carefully reviewing the presentment and will reserve a more comprehensive comment for a later time."
The university said it placed Spanier, who remained on the faculty, on paid leave. University officials declined to comment further "out of respect for the legal process."
Kelly said she wants all three men to face trial together on the same charges.
A Centre County jury in June convicted Sandusky, 68, of molesting 10 boys over a 15-year period, often inside Penn State athletic facilities. A judge sentenced him last month to 30 to 60 years in state prison. He's serving the sentence in protective custody at a maximum-security prison in Greene County.
The initial, 33-month investigation that led to charges against Sandusky, Curley and Schultz is an issue in the attorney general's race between former Lackawanna County prosecutor Kathleen Kane and Cumberland County District Attorney David Freed. Corbett is backing fellow Republican Freed. Kane has criticized the length of the investigation.
Asked about the timing of the new charges five days before the election, Kelly said they were filed because the investigation was "ripe." The election has nothing to do with it, she said.
When university trustees removed Spanier from office, they fired legendary head football coach Joe Paterno, who died of lung cancer in January. Kelly declined to comment on whether authorities would have charged Paterno if he were alive.
The new charges stem from email evidence referenced in the university-commissioned report last summer by former FBI Director Louis Freeh. That report suggested a conspiracy among Spanier, Curley, Schultz and Paterno to cover up the 1998 and 2001 incidents.
"Ever since the Freeh Report came out and made a number of Spanier's emails public, it was just a matter of time for the other shoe to drop and for (Spanier) to be indicted," said University of Pittsburgh law professor John Burkoff. "Now the shoe's dropped. And it's a heavy-duty work boot."
The grand jury presentment says information that authorities had sought for months during the initial Sandusky investigation began to flow after trustees dismissed Spanier and instructed personnel to cooperate.
"Law enforcement investigators, working in conjunction with Penn State IT staff, were able to access massive amounts of electronically stored data and began a lengthy process of review and analysis," the presentment states. "For the first four months of 2012, large amounts of evidence and data — much of which had been sought and subpoenaed for more than a year prior — was uncovered and provided to investigators."
Investigators later found that school officials had not contacted the staffers trained to recover electronic documents for use by lawyers.
The 39-page report indicates Curley, Schultz and Spanier told Cynthia Baldwin, the university's lawyer, that they had no documents that addressed Sandusky's having inappropriate contact with boys.
But Schultz kept a Sandusky file in his office, which the grand jury eventually obtained, Kelly said.
The presentment says Baldwin, a former Allegheny County judge and state Supreme Court justice, gave extensive testimony to the grand jury about her dealings with Spanier when he was university president. She said Spanier was well-versed in the 1998 incident before authorities questioned him in March 2011 and he denied any knowledge of the incident. She also said it was clear that Spanier had extensive discussions with Curley and Schultz about their grand jury testimony.
University of Pennsylvania law professor Geoffrey Hazard, an expert on legal ethics, said most attorney-client communications such as the discussions between Baldwin and Spanier are privileged, and revealing them could create an ethical problem for a lawyer.
"But when a client is trying to use attorney-client privilege to ask questions that involve his response for a criminal act, that is not covered by attorney-client privilege. I think (Baldwin) very rightfully believed she had better level. You can't help a client conceal a crime," Hazard said.
Baldwin deferred comment to her attorney, Charles DeMonaco, who declined to comment.
Civil lawyers are negotiating settlements for Sandusky's victims. One is Tom Kline, a Philadelphia lawyer who represents Victim No. 5 in the Sandusky case, whose abuse in August 2001 was a direct result of Penn State officials' "colossal failures" to stop the former coach, Kline said.
"As a lawyer, I am pleased to see the Attorney General's Office will follow through and see to it that all citizens, including high-ranking officials of universities like these men, are held accountable," Kline said.

Alhough it has been challenged in various ways, the influence of Dr. Edward Saids book Orientalism has outlived its author, touching both academics and activists by critiquing the relations of power that operate between East and West, and between Self and Other. This inter-disciplinary event, that was held April 12, 2008, has encouraged reflection on what Edward Said did, what it has meant in academe and in the larger society, and how the questions he raised might be answered in the 21st century.
A very interesting array of panelists were on hand, representing four nations and the disciplines of History, Comparative Literature, Art History, Sociology, Law and Gender Studies.
In addition, we were delighted to welcome Mrs. Raheel Raza as our keynote speaker. Mrs. Raza is a journalist and activist in the Toronto area, working on womens issues and interfaith dialogue. A dynamic speaker who brings to the discussion a rich, practical background in matters of cross-cultural contact, she will be speaking about the impact on her career of the reevaluation of Muslim-Western relations brought about by the work of Dr.Said.

The Knave of Hearts was on trial for stealing tarts, of course, and all the creatures were called to give evidence, including Alice, who was growing taller and taller by the minute and upsetting the court. When the White Rabbit's verses were entered as evidence in the case, the King and Queen thought that they very conclusively proved the Knave's guilt. Alice had had enough of this nonsense and started talking back to the Queen, who promptly ordered her head removed. The last thing Alice said before waking up is, You're nothing byt a pack of cards!

"How we suffer. How we stop our suffering."
These lectures will take up the topic of human suffering and its complete eradication–which is the central theme and basis for the religious practices offered within the Buddhist tradition. We will approach this theme from three key perspectives that can help anyone with an interest in seeing beyond their conditioning.
Lecture Series
April 18, 19, 20 (Thursday, Friday, Saturday) 7-9 PM
($12 donation per lecture, or $30 for the series)
April 18th (Thursday) "Unconditional Happiness versus Pursuit of Pleasure"
To solve a problem it is essential to define the problem accurately and clearly. Our chronic, perhaps worsening, personal discontent is primarily due to not truly knowing where and how to seek for our fulfillment and happiness. All too often we stake our happiness on a set of conditions–material, intellectual, relational, emotional–imagining and hoping that they will give us a lasting sense of comfort and security. Within this model, we are continuously frustrated, if not humiliated, by impermanence and its various expressions as our loss of control and pervasive anxiety. What is truly the basis for unconditional happiness? What is the nature of mind that allows for ease and joy to pervade all the dimensions of our life?

Thursday was turning into Friday as Wild forward Zach Parise finally stood up from his stall in the visitors' locker room at the United Center in Chicago, just a stone's throw from the Blackhawks' muted celebration down the hall.
Parise, still unshowered, described the Wild's season-ending loss to the Blackhawks as "frustrating" and "disappointing."
His teammates were more descriptive after Thursday night's 5-1 loss in Game 5 of the first-round playoff series.
"Everybody just feels sick to their stomach," Matt Cullen said.
Next question: What now?
General manager Chuck Fletcher and coach Mike Yeo will speak at a news conference Saturday, a good sign both will be back next season.
In a shortened 48-game regular season, in which the Wild only played teams in the Western Conference, each result was magnified. Below, we look at three key regular-season wins and losses that helped shape their season.
1. Game 48 -- Wild 3, Avalanche 1, April 27: It was a true do-or-die game for the Wild. The Wild needed a win and the accompanying two points to edge Columbus for the final playoff spot. Behind a first-period Zach Parise goal and Devin Setoguchi power-play strike, they got it. It was the last game goaltender Niklas Backstrom appeared in.
2. Game 46 -- Wild 2, Kings 1, April 23: The Wild needed two wins in their final four games to advance to the playoffs, and the defending champion Kings were the only playoff team in the bunch. The Wild came out at home and took it to Los Angeles. And, after a bad loss the following night, it turned out Game 46 was extra meaningful.
3. Game 23 -- Wild 2, Predators 1 (SO), March 9: This midseason battle kicked off the Wild s streak of nine wins in 10 games. It also was the first time Ryan Suter visited his old stomping grounds. He extended his point streak that night to six, recording an assist on a Parise goal.
1. Game 47 -- Oilers 6, Wild 1, April 26: No question here. A win would have locked up the Wild s playoff appearance and given them a chance to rest some overworked players in Colorado the following night. Instead, they suffered their worst loss of the season and killed any momentum they had following the win over the Kings. Backstrom was pulled, and Josh Harding, playing his first game in 10 weeks, was booed. Had the Wild won, they would have earned the No. 6 seed instead of the No. 8 seed.
2. Game 45 -- Flames 4, Wild 1, April 21: Similar to above, a win over the lowly Flames could have done wonders for the Wild s playoff seeding and momentum. They lost despite firing 11 more shots.
3. Game 34 -- Blues 4, Wild 1, April 1: As big as Game 23 was for the Wild in igniting the winning streak, Game 34 was equally dramatic in the opposite direction. The loss kicked off a terrible month of hockey. Matt Cullen was hurt, an injury that drastically affected the lineup. The Wild lost 12 of their next 18 after this game.
Chad Graff
That leaves the goalie situation as the franchise's top priority for 2013-14. Niklas Backstrom is 35 and an unrestricted free agent, and as well as Josh Harding played in the playoffs, he is battling multiple sclerosis and has never been the No. 1 goalie for an entire season. That position would seem in line for some changes.
The rest of the team is expected to remain intact.
"If you want to look at it objectively, there's been a lot of improvement in our organization and our team, and I feel we're going in the right direction," Yeo said after Thursday's loss.
At one point after the game, Parise and fellow forward Jason Pominville were the only two players still at their stalls. Both were seated, visibly distraught, looking ahead.
The duo represented the Wild's new-found emphasis on finding scoring over the past nine months.
But in the first season with Parise and Ryan Suter, and after acquiring Pominville at the trade deadline, the Wild's season felt a bit like a failure despite the organization's first playoff appearance in five years -- not because the team lost to the Blackhawks, but because of their late-season collapse that forced them into an opening-round meeting with the Blackhawks.
"You try to make the most out of it, but, unfortunately, we weren't able to do that," Pominville said. "At the same time I think it's a big step for the organization to be in the postseason. It's been a little while. Hopefully a lot of guys learned from this experience."
After an incredible run in March, the Wild and their fans had their sights set on a division championship, or at the very least a No. 6 seed and a first-round series against the beatable Vancouver Canucks.
Instead, Minnesota went 5-8-1 in April and had to win on the final day of the regular season just to make the playoffs. Their reward: a five-game beating administered by the best team in the NHL.
Expectations were never that the Wild would win the Stanley Cup in their first season of the Parise-Suter era. But fans wanted to see a competitive team in the playoffs, perhaps even a first-round win at one point.
"It's hard to look at the positives right now," Jason Zucker said. "But it was definitely something I think we can learn from."
In April, Backstrom began to look worn out. He was in net for 27 of the final 28 games of the regular season. At times, the defense in front of him was poor. And other times, the Wild couldn't find a way to score.
For the Wild to join the elite teams, they need a No. 1 goalie, which may or may not be Backstrom. And they could use another goal-scorer. Finding such things isn't easy, especially for a team with such little cap space.
The good news is, the Wild have plenty of young talent and players with bright futures.
Charlie Coyle (21), Zucker (21), Mikael Granlund (21), Marco Scandella (23) and Jonas Brodin (19) all contributed this season. And the leadership is in place with Parise and Suter. So if the Wild are unable to upgrade the roster in the offseason, they will see results as the young guys progress.
"We'll never stop trying to improve our team from a personnel standpoint," Yeo said. "You always try to address your weaknesses."

TBILISI, GEORGIA — Georgia has sent troops to the Central African Republic to help a European Union military force curb sectarian violence in the strife-torn country, the tiny Caucasus nations president told AFP on Tuesday
Georgia is providing troops to the EUs mission in the Central African Republic as part of its responsibility to contribute to global security, President Giorgi Margvelashvili said by telephone.
Some 140 Georgian soldiers have joined the EU force tasked with pacifying the capital Bangui, Georgias defense ministry said in a statement.
Western-backed Georgia is poised to sign a key association pact with the EU this month and aspires to one day join the 28-nation bloc.
Brussels invited Georgia in November to participate in the EUs crisis management operations.
In February, Tbilisi also provided a handful of officers to a separate EU military mission to train Malis army.
Led by France, the EUs forces in CAR are trying along with African Union troops to head off a spiral of bloodletting between Christians and Muslims that has left tens of thousands dead and displaced around a quarter of the landlocked nations 4.6 million people.
Georgia currently has around 1,500 troops in Afghanistan, making it the largest non-NATO contributor to the alliances International Security Assistance Force in the country. That number will soon be halved as the international force prepares to withdraw later this year.

Samajwadi Party today said that despite pressure from the government and the threat of CBI, it is firmly opposed to the reservation in promotion bill and will vote against it in Parliament.
"We are fully opposed to the Bill and whenever it comes up for voting in the House, we will vote against it," SP spokesperson Mohan Singh told reporters outside Parliament House.
He said though the SP is isolated on this issue in Parliament, it enjoys wide support from the people outside.
Asked if SP is under CBI pressure to support the government, Singh said, "We have accepted in the past that CBI is used to exert pressure. CBI is misused by the Government."
On a sarcastic note, Singh said, "It appears there is no corruption in the Congress and all corruption is in other parties. CBI is there only to probe against Lalu Prasad, Mulayam Singh and M Karunanidhi."
He alleged that though Congress leaders committed financial anomalies in the Commonwealth Games projects and the Prime Minister promised to take action against those found guilty, no action has been taken.
Asked why SP raised the issue of Muslim reservation in the Rajya Sabha today, Singh said, "The Sachar Committee recommendations had to be raised in Parliament sometime. The Chair should have given us more time and not adjourned the House in a hurry."

I cried for a long time, but I waited to let Clyde go when I was all dried out.
"I'm so sorry for your loss, Elsie," Clyde apologized softly.
I sniffled and detangled myself. Clyde watched me anxiously. I managed a small smile.
"Is there any way I could help?" Clyde asked carefully.
I looked at him in a thoughtful state.
"Coffee?" I squeaked.
Clyde smiled faintly.
"If you'll drink it, kid," Clyde smirked at me.
I laughed and gently shoved him.
"Shut up!" I giggled before taking his hand and running out of the apartment. We laughed heartily all the way to the coffee shop. Momentarily, I was blindsided by the fact that this was the cafe and Pietro and I first met at. I wiped my grimace away.
Clyde and I sat down. It felt splendid to be sitting with another American. I smiled when I thought of how we would outnumber the saucyy, busty French accent. The sun was making Clyde's lemony hair glow. His baby-blue eyes were glossy and large. He looked like a boy and yet a designer's male model. I smiled to myself. He looked like the boy-next-door. Suddenly, I heard a young girl shout to her grandmother, and I instinctively turned my head. I refused to meet Clyde's gaze when I turned back.
"I miss her. She was my only real family," I muttered while sipping my coffee.
"You don't have to tell me," Clyde warned.
"No, no. I like talking with you," I admitted casually.
I saw Clyde's glossy eyeballs, and confidence surged through me.
"I've never told anybody that," I laughed.
Clyde raised his eyebrows.
"I guess this means we're friends," He beamed.
I clinked my mug with his.
"Oh, yeah," I declared.
Clyde and I shared another laugh.

It was getting ugly early in the first quarter of Friday night's game against the Heat at the Palace for the home team.
A couple of Detroit turnovers and fouls and Miami, thanks to three-pointers by Mike Miller and Mario Chalmers, had suddenly opened up a 10-0 lead.
Pistons rookie Kyle Singler led the early comeback, scoring on a lay-up, rebounding and making a jump shot from 20 feet. He kept up his energy and pace in the second quarter and it caught on. At the half, the Pistons led Miami, 58-52, and would go on to a 109-99 victory. ...

Nokia lands new MeeGo chief, vows 'style-conscious' device
updated 12:25 pm EST, Tue March 8, 2011
Nokia picks Nystrom as new MeeGo head
Nokia's MeeGo marketing lead said on Tuesday that the company had already picked a new head for the MeeGo team. Sebastian Nystr�m will jump from the top spot on the Qt team to head up the mobile OS. He replaces Alberto Torres, who left immediately after the Windows Phone 7 shakeup.
As part of his position, he reiterated promises that Nokia would have a device unveiled in 2011 and gave a brief clue as to its design. Unlike the hacker-focused N800, the future model would appeal to the "style-conscious, connected enthusiast," Nystr�m said. Although rumors have swirled of a cancellation, most believe this will be the N9 or N950, a QWERTY tilt slider much like the E7. It may alternately be a tablet and the first real sequel to the N810.
Nokia would also keep delivering updates after the future hardware shipped and would help map out Nokia's future involvement with the MeeGo project's site.
Fears had surfaced among adopters that Nokia was consciously abandoning MeeGo with the plans for Windows Phone. The new strategy has relegated the OS to a more experimental role similar to Maemo, but the new head hinted that the device would be more mainstream and potentially more relevant.

Another stunner is the 2011 St.-Joseph Les Granits. It's made in a forward, accessible style and offers up gorgeous blackberry, crushed flowers, toasted bread, licorice and background meatiness to go with full-bodied richness and depth on the palate. Already approachable, with knockout complexity and loads of fruit, it should drink nicely over the coming 10-12 years.
Bright purple. Complex, intensely perfumed bouquet displays blackberry, cassis, cola and potpourri, along with a smoky overtone. Sweet, spicy and penetrating, with dark fruit compote and floral pastille flavors of impressive clarity. The long finish, with its clinging note of black pepper, is intensely spicy and youthfully tannic.

The following is a guest post from our friends at The Beauty Department.
It's no secret that many of us have uneven skin tones—and we'm here to tell you it's not that big of a deal. Honestly: it's an incredibly easy beauty problem to correct, so please, do us a favor and don't stress! It's quite rare that someone's skin shade is the same from her forehead to her neck, and most of the time our foreheads or lower cheeks are darker than the rest of our face. Here's how to even everything out in a way that still highlights our eyes.

Italian (Milan)
Steel, engraved, gilt, silvered, and damascened in gold
Fletcher Fund, 1938 (38.148.1an)
This exceptionally well preserved armor was made for an adolescent or a small adult who was undoubtedly a member of an important noble family. It belongs to a small group of Milanese armors made between 1590 and 1610, in which etched decoration was abandoned in favor of engraving, punching, gilding, and damascening. This armor demonstrates the high standard maintained by the best northern Italian armorers at the turn of the seventeenth century. It is the form worn by heavy cavalry throughout the sixteenth century: the wearer is covered from head to foot, and a lance rest is attached to the right side of the breastplate. Around 1600, however, lance-bearing heavy cavalry were being replaced by cuirassiersheavy cavalry armored only to the knees and carrying pistols and a sword. Features found here that are typical of the new cuirassier's armor are the close helmet with barred visor and falling buffe, the closed elbow joints, and the deep culet (skirt) attached to the backplate. The armor was made with matching chanfron (defence for a horse's head) and saddle plates (both not shown in the images).

Poll: Clinton greater than Reagan, Washington
Posted By -NO AUTHOR- On 05/27/2003 @ 3:54 am In Front Page | Comments Disabled
Bill Clinton tops Ronald Reagan, George Washington and Thomas Jefferson in a new survey of America's greatest presidents, and ranks evenly with George W. Bush.
Bill Clinton
A Gallup poll released this month asked the question: "Who do you regard as the greatest United States president?"
While Abraham Lincoln and John Kennedy finished first and second with 15 and 13 percent of the votes respectively, Clinton and President Bush tied for third at 11 percent.
Reagan finished fifth with ten percent of responses, followed by Franklin Roosevelt with nine percent and George Washington with seven.
Reagan, George H.W. Bush on Time cover
Harry Truman, Jimmy Carter, Teddy Roosevelt, George H.W. Bush, and Thomas Jefferson all collected less than five percent.
Clinton is especially popular among the MTV generation, with nearly 3 in 10 respondents in the 18- to 29-year-old age group mentioning him. His 29 percent tally of younger Americans is about triple the competition from Lincoln and the current president, both of whom received ten percent support from that group.
Not surprisingly, one's political affiliation had a great impact on selections for this poll. For instance, among Republicans, Clinton received only two percent backing, compared to 23 for George W. Bush, 20 for Lincoln, and 18 for Reagan.
Those identifying themselves as Democrats gave Kennedy 25 percent and Clinton 21 percent, compared to just three percent for Both Reagan and Bush the younger.
Just two years ago when the same question was asked, Reagan was the overall winner of the greatest president question, gathering 18 percent of responses – twice as much as Clinton.

MacBook Pro Retina SMC Update 1.1 fixes graphics problems
updated 03:49 pm EDT, Thu March 14, 2013
Also copes with sleep, fan bugs
Apple has posted a new Mac software update, MacBook Pro Retina SMC Update 1.1. The code deals with multiple glitches in the 15-inch Retina Pro, including one causing slow framerates for graphics-intensive games. Other bugfixes deal with issues involving fan control, waking from sleep, and Power Nap.
The SMC update may resolve graphics issues that have plagued some owners of Retina MacBook Pros, particularly those with LG-manufactured displays rather than Samsung-manufactured displays. A class-action lawsuit has been filed in California by one disgruntled user, saying Apple should do more to alert customers who have defective units. Currently the company is replacing any Retina MacBook Pros that exhibit "ghosting" or "burn-in" issues and have LG-manufactured screens.
The download is 504KB, and requires OS X 10.7.5 on Lion, or OS X 10.8.2 on Mountain Lion.

I wanted to love this SO MUCH.... but I didn't.
On the plus side, it gives good coverage (more than most BB creams), has good SPF, applies nicely and lasts for a fairly long time (although I still powder) BUT it breaks me out like nothing else.
I don't know if it's an allergic reaction or something else but I wouldn't buy it again, even though it's really good with everything else.

I really like this stuff. I am Caucasian with light-medium, combination, acne-prone skin. I don't like the look/feel of liquid foundation, so I wanted something a little lighter and more natural. I bought this in the winter and it was perfect!
By itself it is a little thick and hard to spread, but I combine it with a silicone primer before putting it on and it smoothes over my skin like a dream! Coverage is light-medium, but it builds really nicely over any imperfections. It certainly didn't clear my skin up, but I don't think it caused me to break out either. Kept me pretty matte throughout the day. BE WARNED: a little goes a LONG way! The first time I put it on I WAY over did it and looked like a freakish, pale clown.
The color is pretty light. It was okay for me in the winter, but now in June I'm finding it to be too light for my tanning skin--hence the 4 stars. It is definitely made for ladies with fair to light/medium skin, anything darker and you will look ashy. I wish it came in more color options!

This BB Cream is one of the worst possible for dry to very dry skin. It settles in every line you may have, even the subtle ones (I�m 25 so there are not many deep lines to settle in). It feels and looks like a mask which is more than dissapointing for a BB Cream.
The texture is fine and so is the smell. I would not repurchase since it does nothing for my dry skin even though I bought the purple.

This is my first Korean BB cream and I like it, though I don't have anything else to compare it to. The first time I used it, I sprayed a little bit of my UD De-slick setting spray and then buffed out the BB cream on my face--it stayed and didn't make me oily (probably because of the setting spray), and stayed matte on my face (the Clearing version is supposed to have a matte finish). It does leave a bit of a white cast on your face but I'm sure most Korean BB creams do this for a "brightening" effect. Today, I opted out of using my setting spray because I assumed that the BB cream sort of loses its purpose if it's sitting on top of another product like the spray; it still had the matte finish for the most part of the day, but I noticed when I got home (after a 6-hour shift inside an air-conditioned building), my face has gotten a little bit oily-looking but mostly in my t-zone (where I am normally the oiliest). It also has a very pleasant, kinda "rosy" smell to it that I don't mind, I am not super sensitive to fragrances and it does go away after a while. All in all it's not a bad product and I may repurchase once I am out--I bought it on Ebay for about $10 and I've read that the "original" packaging had a little picture of a cat on it, so I don't know if it's been remade or (and I hope not) I have a fake :(

I've just started using this BB cream and I love it! So far, all the other BB creams/foundations/primers all just sink into my huge pores and I end up an oily mess... This BB cream covers beautifully! Definitely wait 10-15 minutes for it to set because it is quite pale when you first apply it. I have medium tone skin so I also set it with a foundation powder and it looks great! This also lasts all day on my oily, oily skin!! I only had to blot once! I usually blot several times a day. Like I said, I've only just started using this so I can't say whether it clears acne or at least keeps it at bay, so I'll have to update...but I love it so far! :)

This is the third BB cream I have from the Holika Holika Petit line. I also own the Essential version and the Moisture version. This is my favorite line of BB creams by far; amazing coverage and very affordable price ($6).
This Clearing BB cream has the thickest consistency compared to the other ones I own from the line. I also noticed it is also beige toned when comparing the range of colors. Essential is the palest light ivory shade, Clearing is beige (just a tad more orange than Essential) and Moisture is the darkest of them all; a medium light with very pink undertones.
Coverage of this BB cream is great; very much on par with the other ones from the line. I love good coverage on my face products and this didn't dissapoint. So far, I haven't been able to testify its ability to help with acne, because I haven't had significant breakouts lately. But it has not provoked any adverse reaction to my sensitive oily skin. It has good wear time and has a matte finish. It matches my neck the best out of the three BB's I have.
The smell of this BB cream is the same as the other ones from the line. Flowery fresh, not too strong and it dissapears when blended into the skin. The fragrance does not offend me, it is actually familiar and very pleasant for my nose.
So far, I am loving this BB cream. And the Petit line has the most solid BB creams I have ever used, so far my favorites in the entire world. I hope this helps if you're considering purchasing this product. I promise you won't be dissapointed by its performance.
PS: The Holika Holika website does not state in their product listing that this BB cream has whitening agents. However, when I removed this BB cream from my face I noticed my complexion was a lot paler than my neck. Definitely got me thinking. Could it be because of the tea tree oil?

I have oily/acne prone skin and many BB Creams are too shiny/greasy/orange by the end of the day. This product is matte on my skin, so I would NOT suggest it for someone with dry skin. I usually layer a moisturizer underneath it to keep my skin hydrated and by the end of the day my skin does feel a bit too dry, but as far as products go this has been the most successful at staying put and not breaking me out. I have started using less and less of it, even mixing it with a little bit of my moisturizer so it lasts a long time for me even though the container is pretty small. At about $8, it is cheap and it almost annoys me the amount of money I have spent on more expensive products that made me breakout or had orangey tints, etc. I've reordered it once already, which I rarely do with any products so that is a big vote of confidence from me!
(It is a little on the greyish side, but I have some redness in my skin that it helps tone down).

Ok, having tried both this line of BB creams and their Aqua ones I can confirm that these are the better quality BB creams from Holika Holika, they're much cheaper, look more natural, blend easier and the packaging is more sanitary
I originally got the moisture BB and loved it, it looked invisible once I'd blended the edges out to the point that my family didn't even notice I was wearing makeup and after trying this one I can safely say that it's the same effect from this one
It comes in a squeeze tube which I know some people will have a problem with, I personally like squeeze tubes for my foundation/BB/CC cream but everyone is entitled to their own tastes
The formulation of this one feels slightly thicker than the moisture BB but it still blends out just as well as that one and because the formula is thicker it seems to have better coverage
Full Size Image
(my hair looks shocking T_T)
There is a bit of a smell when you first apply it (it kind of smells like a hair gel I had when I was 10) but this seems to dissapear after a minute or two so it's not a big problem for me
The colour matches me perfectly, I couldn't have asked for a better match (I'm sand beige in Revlon Colorstay Whipped Creme Makeup and an NC20 in MAC Studio Fix Powder Plus Foundation for reference) it started out looking a bit dark in the swatch but as I blended it over my face it seemed to lighten up a bit and become more wearable
This stuff does seem to retain a bit of a tacky feeling on the face so you'd probably want to set it with a powder after wearing it for 10 minutes or so to get the skincare benefits from it
With the moisture one I noticed that a lot of the pigmentation from some acne scarring on my face dissapeared overnight, I've not used this one long enough to tell if it has the same effect, I'm not sure if these products have whitening properties since the ingredient list is in Korean but I figured I should mention that little tidbit of information
As far as price goes I got this off of eBay for �4, this is a 30ml tube so I think that is an excellent value proposition, in short I would recommend this to everyone based on my experiences

The best bb I've tried so far! It has a gray tone to it but adjusts to a natural color within 30min. The coverage is medium/full. It is a bit moisturizing but not shiny. The oil-control is not the best but I love the finish. It wears great during the day. It looks more natural for every hour you wear it. I will repurchase!

I got this one in clearing because I have zits. I got it when I was getting a batch of other stuff. Sometimes international food stores have it but there isn't a Holika Holika brick and mortar store around here. Which is a shame because there is a "Charmed" theme, hence the cat and witch logo lol.
It's an okay foundation and has a decent amount of pigment. If your skin color has a neutral or olive (not pink) undertone, and is between classic ivory and buff beige, sand beige etc in American brands, this will be a good fit. It's definitely more affordable than L'oreal et al.
It's the same price range as Wet n Wild or ELF. For me, it works whether or not I got dark from the sun. When I bought Cover Girl, I think my color was neutral buff. I like how the Holika Holika has a lot of coverage so sometimes I just dab it on my zit area.
This is especially good for that because unlike some creams, it doesn't have instant whitening. I haven't noticed it actually clearing up my pimples, but it's less comedogenic and more matte than other foundations.
It's less oily than the other popular Asian brand, Secret Key, and a similar product to Beauty Angel or Clever Cat. It's a little more pricey than Beauty Angel and Clever Cat though. Beauty Angel is $2 for a big tube. But, it's less pale than CC creams. CC creams are generally pale.
If you need to use a concealer over this BB cream, ELF cover sticks and concealers are great, and don't bead up.
