NEW YORK (AP) - He was only 46, busy as ever and secure in his standing as one of the world's greatest actors.
There were no dissenters about the gifts and achievements of Philip Seymour Hoffman, whose death Sunday in New York brought a stunning halt to his extraordinary and unpredictable career.
An Oscar winner and multiple nominee, Hoffman could take on any character with almost unnerving authority, whether the religious leader in command of his every word in "The Master," a trembling mess in "Boogie Nights," or the witty, theatrical Truman Capote in "Capote."
Fearless in his choices, encyclopedic in his preparation, he was a Shakespearean performer in modern dress, bringing depth and variety to charlatans, slackers, curmudgeons and loners.
He was not only the most gifted actor I ever worked with," Corbijn added, "...he had also become an incredibly inspiring and supportive friend."
Friends, peers, family members and his countless fans were in grief after Hoffman was found in his Greenwich Village apartment with what law enforcement officials said was a syringe in his arm.
The two officials told The Associated Press that glassine envelopes containing what was believed to be heroin were also found with Hoffman. Those items are being tested.
The law enforcement officials, who spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity because they are not authorized to speak about evidence found at the scene, said the cause of death was believed to be a drug overdose.
Besides his Oscar win for "Capote," the stage-trained Hoffman received four Academy Awards nominations and several nominations for theater awards, including three Tonys. He was equally acclaimed and productive, often appearing in at least two to three films a year, while managing an active life in the theater. He had been thriving for more than 20 years and no one doubted that a long, compelling run awaited him.
Like Laurence Olivier or Meryl Streep, his appeal was not bound by age or appearance or personality. He was not an actor whom audiences turned to for youth and romance. Heavy set with a lumpy build and limp, receding blond hair, he was a character actor with the power to play the lead, in movies that screened in both art houses and multiplexes.
"No words for this. He was too great and we're too shattered," said Mike Nichols, who directed Hoffman in "Charlie Wilson's War" and on stage in "Death of a Salesman."
Hoffman spoke candidly over the years about past struggles with drug addiction. After 23 years sober, he admitted in interviews last year to falling off the wagon and developing a heroin problem that led to a stint in rehab.
Late Sunday, crime-scene technicians carrying brown paper bags went in and out of Hoffman's building as officers held back a growing crowd of onlookers.
Hoffman's family called the news "tragic and sudden."
"We are devastated by the loss of our beloved Phil and appreciate the outpouring of love and support we have received from everyone," the family said in a statement.
With a range and discipline more common among British performers than Americans, Hoffman was convincing whether comic or dramatic, loathsome or sympathetic, powerless or diabolical.
In "The Master," he was nominated for a 2013 Academy Award for best supporting actor for his role as the charismatic, controlling leader of a religious movement. The film, partly inspired by the life of Scientology founder L. Ron Hubbard, reunited the actor with Anderson.
He also received a 2009 supporting nomination for "Doubt," as a priest who comes under suspicion because of his relationship with a boy, and a best supporting actor nomination for "Charlie Wilson's War," as a CIA officer.
Many younger moviegoers know him as the scheming Plutarch Heavensbee in "The Hunger Games: Catching Fire" and he was reprising that role in the two-part sequel, "The Hunger Games: Mockingjay," for which his work was mostly completed. The films are scheduled for November 2014 and November 2015 releases.
Just weeks ago, Showtime announced Hoffman would star in "Happyish," a new comedy series about a middle-aged man's pursuit of happiness.
In his Oscar acceptance speech for "Capote," he thanked his mother for raising him and his three siblings alone, and for taking him to his first play. Hoffman's parents divorced when he was 9.
On Broadway, he took on some of the stage's most ambitious parts - Willy Loman in "Death of a Salesman," Jamie in "Long Day's Journey Into Night" and both leads in "True West." All three performances were Tony nominated.
Last year, Hoffman crossed to the other side of the footlights to direct Bob Glaudini's "A Family for All Occasions" for the Labyrinth Theatre Company, where he formerly served as co-artistic director. Hoffman has also directed "Jesus Hopped the A Train" and "Our Lady of 121st Street" for the company and received Drama Desk Award nominations for both productions.
Hoffman is survived by his partner of 15 years, Mimi O'Donnell, and their three children.
Associated Press writers Tom Hays and Deepti Hajela, AP film writer Jake Coyle and AP Drama Writer Mark Kennedy in New York, and Entertainment Writer Sandy Cohen in Los Angeles contributed to this report.

Bettie Cook Scott says mistakes by the Wayne County Clerk's Office are to blame. Officials there wouldn't comment.
Bettie Cook Scott says voters are being unfairly denied a choice in the race for a state House seat representing eastern Wayne County.
Scott, a former state representative from Detroit, tried to run as an independent in the District 1 race that pits Grosse Pointe Shores Mayor Pro Tem Dan Schulte, a Republican, against Democrat Brian Banks, an eight-time felon with a history of writing bad checks and credit card fraud.
But on Friday, Judge Robert Ziolkowski denied her appeal, saying it's too late to add Scott's name to ballots.
In what she considers a long trail of mistakes, Scott says the Wayne County Clerk's Office improperly removed her name from the ballot.
"I feel that they misled me for five months, and the voters still don't get a chance to weigh in on whether I should be ... their state representative," Scott said following the hearing in Wayne County Circuit Court.
A spokeswoman for the Clerk's Office said Clerk Cathy Garrett and Delphine Oden, the county's director of elections, would be unable to comment because of ongoing litigation.
The situation began in May when Scott, a Democrat, filed to run for office. She was last a state representative in 2010, when she ran unsuccessfully for state Senate. She was defeated by Sen. Bert Johnson, D-Highland Park.
Relying on a map without street name designations that she obtained from the Internet, Scott, whose former district had been changed because of redistricting, said she believed her home on Detroit's east side had been included in District 2, an area that includes part of Detroit as well as the cities of Grosse Pointe Park, Grosse Pointe and Grosse Pointe Farms.
But she learned later when she requested a voter list from the City of Detroit that her home on Kensington was actually in District 1, which includes Harper Woods, Grosse Pointe Woods, most of Grosse Pointe Shores and part of Detroit.
Scott said the correct district was not obvious because her home is on the border of the two districts and she was advised by county Clerk's Office staff incorrectly that she was in District 2. She said she believes the Clerk's Office was obligated to verify her address to make sure she was filing for the correct district.
When she learned that she had filed in the wrong district, Scott said, she notified the Clerk's Office during a period when candidates are supposed to be allowed to make corrections to their filings. But in June, Scott was notified that she was being disqualified because of her address.
On July 17, Scott filed to run as an independent in District 1, but in a Sept. 19 letter, the Clerk's Office stated that Scott was being disqualified again, this time because she had previously filed to run. Scott said the Clerk's Office should not have accepted her paperwork the second time if a problem existed. She said Garrett was apologetic during a meeting in September but would not put her name on the ballot, prompting Scott to file suit.
Oddly enough, Scott said, even though the Clerk's Office prevented her from running as a state representative, she was elected during the August primary as a Democratic precinct delegate, but she said the Clerk's Office had actually put her in the wrong precinct.
"Do you see their comedy of errors?" she said.
Scott, who represented herself in court Friday, said she intends to continue her legal battle against the Clerk's Office, but with legal representation.

Financial Aid
Scholarships and Tuition Waivers
Awarding and Packaging
The first step to awarding aid is to find your need. Need is determined using your Educational Expenses minus your Expected Family Contribution (EFC) and outside resources. The EFC is determined by the federal processor when you submit the FAFSA.
Pell Grant funds are awarded before anything else. If eligible, your Pell Grant will be based on your expected enrollment and EFC.
Next we award other grants (federal, state and/or institutional). Because we have limited funding in other grants most funds go to students who have a complete application by the priority dates. SLCC limits students to two types of grant aid per aid year.
Federal Work Study, Perkins Loans and Direct Stafford Loans are awarded next. You must indicate interest in these types of aid on the Student Information Form. If funds are available and you have need, these may be included as part of your award package.
Once you have been awarded aid, an award letter will be sent to your Bruin email. This letter will detail your aid package including: type of funds, amounts, hours the award is based on and additional steps required to process aid. You should check your email frequently to make sure you have done everything needed to receive your aid.

JVC outs Everio GS-TD1, first consumer full HD-3D vidcam
updated 04:35 pm EST, Thu January 6, 2011
Two-lens, 2-CMOS camcorder records in stereo
JVC announced two new HD 3D camcorders, including the GS-TD1, which it claims is the world's first full HD 3D camcorder for the consumer market. The GS-TD1 records with two lenses and two 3.32-megapixel CMOS sensors, each at 1920x1080i resolution. The camcorder can also record in 3D side-by-side format in both 3D and conventional 2D video. The GS-TD1 has 3D optical 5x zoom, automatic stabilization system to give depth to 3D images, and 3D stereo sound.
The camera operates in the same manner as conventional camcorders, with an 3.5in 3D touch panel LCD monitor that does not require 3D glasses.
JVC also announced the HD Everio GZ-HM960, a 3D camcorder that can process 2D footage into 3D. Output can be viewed without glasses on either the camera's 3.5-inch 3D LCD monitor, or an external 3D television.
Both camcorders come with Windows-compatible software for full managing editing and sharing videos. The software also enables 3D video from the GS-TD1 to be shared on YouTube.
JVC says the GS-TD1 Full HD 3D camcorder will be available in March for $2,000. The HD Everio GZ-HM960 will be available in February for $950.

Issaquah property values climb, bucking trend
February 15, 2011
By Warren Kagarise
2011 tax bills start to arrive in mailboxes
Most Issaquah homeowners should pay about 29 cents more per $1,000 in assessed value on the property tax bills starting to arrive in mailboxes across King County.
Issaquah and county residents started to receive property tax bills in the mail Feb. 14. The county Assessor's Office released a city and county property tax breakdown late last week.
Inside Issaquah city limits, homeowners pay, on average, $11.13 in property taxes per $1,000 in assessed value. The total amounted to $10.84 last year.
Dollars collected through property taxes help fund the Issaquah School District, King County, and numerous state and regional districts.
The school district receives the largest slice — 44 percent. Issaquah municipal government collects about 20 percent. King County government receives about 18 percent and the Port of Seattle receives 2 percent.
The city has not raised property taxes since 2007. City Council members considered a 1 percent increase last fall, but then backed off after numerous tax measures on the November ballot failed.
Issaquah School District voters ushered in a levy package last February — $172.5 million for maintenance and operations, $1.7 million for transportation and another $38.4 million for technology and critical repairs. Voters also OK'd additional dollars for the King County Library System on the February 2010 ballot.
Within the school district boundaries, the property tax rate increased by 4 cents per $1,000 in assessed value for 2011, though the number does not tell the entire story.
Districtwide, assessed value declined 1.87 percent from last year. So, despite the rate increase, the school district tax bill for a $350,000 home is $17.75 less in 2011 than last year. The average home price in the district is $504,000, so most local homeowners should pay even less to the district.
The school district stretches from Preston to Newcastle and from Sammamish to Renton.
The district collected $87 million in property taxes last year and is projected to take in $86.2 million in the months ahead due to the districtwide decline in assessed property values.
Though assessed value declined in the school district, Issaquah proper defied the trend as property values declined across King County. The average assessed value for residential property in the city climbed to $503,700 from $493,200 last year.
Countywide decline in property values
Countywide, voters approved 44 property tax ballot measures — including 38 school district levies — for collection in 2011.
Washington operates under a budget-based property tax system, meaning local taxing districts — including fire, library and school districts — submit annual adopted budgets to the county assessor. The county assessor then has the responsibility to determine the necessary taxing route to meet the adopted budgets.
King County Assessor Lloyd Hara and other county assessors statewide establish property values.
County Treasury Operations collects the property taxes on behalf of the state, cities and taxing districts, and then distributes the revenue to the correct agencies. So, residents only need to make property tax payments to a single location.
The county uses assessed property valuations established during the previous year to determine property taxes.
The property tax bill for 2011 is based on values established as of Jan. 1, 2010, for existing residences or July 31, 2010, for remodels and construction.
The total assessed value of property in the county totals $330.4 billion for 2011 taxing purposes, a drop from $342 billion last year.
The county assesses residential and commercial property each year at fair market value. Appraisers determine fair market value for residential parcels by analyzing recent sales of comparable properties in the same area.
Assessor's Office appraisers plan to continue to update 2011 property values throughout the year to be used for 2012 property tax bills.
"I have directed my staff to take a reasonable and conservative approach to property valuations in recognition of the impact of foreclosures, financial institution sales and the volatility currently in the marketplace," Hara said in a Feb. 10 release. "I want to ensure that every valuation is fair and equitable."
The total property tax collections for all purposes in King County should total $3.542 billion in 2011 — up 3.33 percent from $3.427 billion last year. Collections increased countywide by 1.18 percent in 2010 and 6.16 percent in 2009.
The total assessed value of property in the county declined 3.38 percent last year — a smaller decline than the 11.61 percent drop in 2009.

…and the rest of the story: Yes, the rates are up to 11.1%. Last year were told the decline in property values would be reflected in a decrease in following year taxes. Well, the clever County Assessor ran the numbers and inflated county and city budgets could not survive using the lower, previous year assessed property values. So, the Assessor unilaterally decided to substitute a three-year average of property values instead of the prior year value. This shuffle increased the "assessed value" and denied home owners the relief they had earned by last year paying inflated taxes on deflated home values. So, we have been administratively given a tax increase without our required vote of approval. Perhaps this should be considered in a class action suit and certainly in the next election.

About This Activity
YIN Yoga
As we age, our connective tissues begin to contract and harden, forming a virtual "shrink wrap" around our muscles and joints. One of the best ways to slow and reverse that process is Yin yoga. Other forms of yoga work with muscles, yin yoga works directly with connective tissue. All poses are done in a seated or reclining position and are held in stillness for three to five minutes. This is a wonderfully rejuvenating and renewing practice and is suitable for all levels of experience, regardless of age. Minimum of 10/maximum of 20.
Drop in fee is $12.00 per class
Instructor: Darcy Prock, experienced in teaching both vinyasa and yin yoga. Darcy has been teaching yoga since 2009, creating space within each class for her students to each have their own experience.

|Fibronectin influences cellular proliferation and apoptosis similarly in LNCaP and PC-3 prostate cancer cell lines.
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 10869957 Owner: NLM Status: Publisher
|The mechanisms responsible for the emergence of clinically advanced prostate cancer (PC) are incompletely understood. Recent studies suggest that altered tumoral apoptosis with disordered cell proliferation sustains advanced disease and may account for the phenomena of anti-androgen therapeutic resistance. Previous inquiry has focused primarily on faulty intracellular mechanisms with limited scrutiny of the extracellular matrix including fibronectin and collagen type 4. We evaluated cell proliferation with Ki-67 immunoassay/image analysis and apoptosis by TUNEL staining and Bcl-2 immunoassay/image analysis in LNCaP and PC-3 human PC cell lines at baseline and following propagation on fibronectin and collagen type 4-coated coverslip substrate. Cell cultures showed differing proliferative and apoptosis characteristics at baseline, with the LNCaP cell line showing relatively higher proliferation and apoptosis rates than the PC-3 cell line. Cell proliferation and apoptosis were statistically significantly decreased in both cell lines following propagation on fibronectin. Bcl-2 expression was significantly increased among both cell lines following propagation on fibronectin. In contrast, cell proliferation, apoptosis, and Bcl-2 expression showed insignificant changes in both cell lines following uncoated coverslip and collagen type 4 matrix propagation. Our findings showed that fibronectin influences cell proliferation, apoptosis, and Bcl-2 expression similarly among LNCaP and PC-3 PC cell lines. It is likely that the altered rates are independent of the androgen status of the cell line and are mediated through a nonhormonal mechanism.

Like most playoff games in basketball, it always comes down to free throws.
On Monday, in Moreauville, the Avoyelles High Lady Mustangs used clutch free throw shooting in the fourth quarter to pull out an exciting 60-54 win over the Bossier High Lady Cats. The game match the speed of Avoyelles against a more physical, taller and stronger Bossier team.
Avoyelles (18-13) will travel on the next round to play at Notre Dame of Crowley in the second round of the Class 3A girls playoffs. The game is set for Thursday night. ...

Mapping the trail of freedom: State's role in Underground Railroad is project's focus
Escaped slaves reverently, expectantly called it the Underground Railroad. It was a railroad where the tracks were the cautious footsteps of thousands of determined people, and the train was powered by a yearning to be free.
The conductors were brave souls who risked their own freedom to help others board. The stations were hidden places in barns, stables, cellars and wells owned by people who believed owning humans was wrong.
Thanks to a Department of Natural Resources' Division of Historic Preservation and Archaeology project, Indiana's role in the phenomenon of the 19th century will be better known.
Indiana Freedom Trails, as the project is called, will map as many known "stations" along the routes as possible and enter them into a database.
There are only a handful of designated Underground Railroad sites in the state, among them the Levi Coffin home in Fountain City, a state historic site. No others are so recognized. The state is providing all of the support for the project, and the research is being done by eager volunteers.
The state's project could very well result in more tourism linked to the black experience.
When the Underground Railroad committee's work is complete, there will be several authentic sites to visit. The volunteers mapping the southeastern part of the state found more than 300 sites.
From a story originally published in The Indianapolis Star on Feb. 3, 2002
Hoosier farmer gave costly help to fleeing slave and her children
It was a crisp autumn night when a woman finally began the journey she had often dreamed about: She set out to flee the bondage of slavery. Caroline, the 30-year-old slave of Trimble County, Ky., resident George Ray, had long worried about the potential consequences of an escape. Her own fate wasn't the only consideration - she had two daughters and two sons.
But late on the night of Oct. 31, 1847, she decided a chance for freedom was worth the risk. So Caroline, identified in historical records only by her first name, rounded up her children and rushed off on an Underground Railroad trek that would end in Indiana.
Black and white escorts accompanied them on the Oct. 31 1847, journey that took Caroline and her children - Frances, 12; John, 7; Amanda, 4; and Henry, 2 - to a southern Decatur County farm. They were later taken by a white anti-slavery activists to the Peyton-Speed farm in Greenbriar Settlement near the Decatur-Franklin county line.
Ray issued a "fugitive slave notice" and posted a $500 reward for the family's return.Caroline and her children were having breakfast the next morning when they were captured by Woodson Clark, the white former Virginian who founded Clarksburg. He locked the family in a fodder house on his adjacent property for more than 12 hours.
When farmer Buford Peyton learned the family was missing, he got fellow anti-slavery advocate Luther Donnell to obtain a warrant to search Clark's home.Caroline and her children were rescued from the fodder house the night of Nov. 1, and Donnell helped the family over a fence while carrying young Henry in his arms.
It was an act that resulted in the state charging Donnell with "aiding Negroes to escape." A Decatur County Circuit Court convicted Donnell in 1848, a verdict the Indiana Supreme Court later overturned. Caroline's former owner subsequently sued Donnell for damages, winning a $1,500 judgement and court costs.
Despite what he had been through, Donnell was cheered years later by a letter he received."Caroline wrote to me expressing her great thankfulness for my assistance," he recalled. "She and her family reached Canada safely."

Barber helped slaves pass to freedom
St. Joseph County was a central location along the Underground Railroad, including South Bend, where conductors helped fugitives escaping from slavery in Kentucky through Indianapolis to continue their travels north.
James Washington, a well-known and well-respected African-American, was such a conductor who already had his freedom. He owned a barbershop in South Bend and collected money from the local citizens to fund the Underground Railroad.
"We don't know how many free blacks were involved, but there were a good number of them stationed throughout that route," Northern Indiana Center for History senior curator Dave Bainbridge said.
"The irony of the history is that we actually know who (Washington) was and have a photo of him. Anyone involved with the Underground Railroad kept quiet and never said a word, even to their children. It was the right and moral thing to do at the time."
Washington's barbershop was above an abolitionist grocery and bakery on Washington Street in downtown South Bend. Charles Bartlett listed accounts in 1850s of runaways hiding in the family store owned by Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Bartlett. A reading and sewing circle run by Mrs. Bartlett at her home, 720 W. Washington St., donated money to help the Underground Railroad.
"There was a secret hand signal," Bainbridge said. "If they needed money, they would show that hand signal and no one would be the wiser. The house still stands but the store didn't survive redevelopment."
Indiana courts fined exposed abolitionists and upheld fugitive-slave laws, returning runaways to their slave owners. This kept most fugitive slaves from staying in St. Joseph County and forced them to continue their journey into Michigan and Canada.
"There was wilderness in those days, and they would keep them off the main road if there was danger," Bainbridge said. "There were conductors every 20 to 30 miles all the way to Canada."

Freed slaves grateful for 'conductor' James Overall's efforts
They knew him only as "Mr. Overall."
That was enough for slaves escaping to freedom through Indianapolis in the early 1800s. They knew he could be relied on to help them on their way.
The identity of Indianapolis' underground railroad conductor, James Overall, would remain a secret from the public until 14 years after he died in 1845.
In his 1859 autobiography, former fugitive slave Jermain Wesley Loguen named Overall as his protector. He "was an educated man, and had a large character and acquaintance among colored people; and was much respected by white ones, for his probity, industry and good sense."
As conductor, Overall sheltered fugitive slaves and directed them to the next stop on their journey to freedom. For some, records indicate, that was a Quaker settlement whose location isn't clear.
Indiana Freedom Trail board member Thomas A. Hendrickson summed up Overall's role in Indianapolis this way: "He was a leader to this black community."
Writing in the Indiana Historical Society Library's "Black History News and Notes," Hendrickson says deed records from 1835 and 1836 indicate the home Overall shared with his family sat in the Downtown triangle made by West and Michigan streets and Indiana Avenue. His trade isn't known, but he might have worked with horses or as liveryman.
One historian mentions that ruffians known as the Burkhart gang attacked Overall's home in 1836, during a riot against blacks.
Overall, who shot and wounded a man in the melee, sent his son to enlist the help of Calvin Fletcher, a civic leader and lawyer. Fletcher urged Overall to turn himself in, but there are no records of charges being filed.
Overall sold his property 13 days later and might have moved to a new home across from Military Park. He also bought some land six miles west of Westfield.
"It says something about him that he was still able to live in the area," Hendrickson said.

Historic blues bar has ghostly past
Buried deep in the underbelly of "Indiana's oldest, continually operated bar in the original building" is a dark, dank, dirt-floored space that owner Hal Yeagy says he'll never enter.
"Supposedly, several bodies are buried down here," says Yeagy. "One time, the Los Angeles County coroner was here for a tour, and he poked his head in there and said, 'I smell death.' That was it for me."
Upstairs, meanwhile, is one of the most storied blues bars in the Midwest, the Slippery Noodle Inn. Musicians who have played the room include John Mayall, Albert Collins, Buddy Miles, Yank Rachell, Lonnie Mack, Edgar Winter and Matt "Guitar" Murphy.
But it's what's below the bar -- 8 feet beneath the intersection of Meridian and South streets -- that makes this building on the National Register of Historic Places legendary.
Although unsubstantiated, legend has it that a narrow passageway through the basement served as a link to freedom for people fleeing slavery via the Underground Railroad.
"There's a lot of folklore and hundreds of myths about the places along the Underground Railroad," says Donna Stokes-Lucas, president of the Indiana Freedom Trail Association, which researches and confirms Underground Railroad sites. "This may be the case here. We've not found anything to validate that this building was part of (the Underground Railroad)."
The Slippery Noodle Inn was founded in 1850 as the Tremont House (you can still see the faded sign painted on the north side). The building -- the oldest commercial structure still standing in the city -- has gone through several name changes and served several purposes.

The best! I love this eye primer, & it's my favorite one that I've tried. I've tried Elf, NYX, Urban Decay, & Nars, & the Milani is just my favorite! My lids are pretty oily, & this keeps my eye makeup from creasing all day & all night, plus it makes it go on more vibrant & pigmented. And I LOVE the fact that I can FINALLY wear cream eyeshadows! Before, any cream eyeshadow I'd tried was just useless on me & would crease in minutes, but with the Milani primer I can finally wear them! Also, I can't really wear bases on my eyes by themselves (for example, jumbo pencils, paint pots, etc.) or they'll crease, but if I put this on underneath they won't crease! It's about $6.50 at the drugstore, so it's really affordable as it is, but also it lasts for a really long time. I bought my tube of it forever ago, use it every day, & still I have tons of it left. I know on me it lasts at least 16+ hours-I know it would last even longer, but I've never stayed up long enough to find out how long it actually lasts, but I know that from the time I apply my makeup in the morning til I go to take it off before bed, it looks freshly applied. Even if it was super hot & humid out, & even if I sweat alot.
*edit 11/6/14: Though I still think this is an excellent eye primer, I've since lowered it from 5 lippies to 4 lippies. The reason for that is because I can no longer say it's 'the best' anymore, as I'd tried out the Wet n Wild one & liked it a little better, & gave it a 5 lippie rating. So that being said, I had to lower the score on this, though if I could I'd give it 4.5 lippies. Still a fantastic primer, & definitely worth it!

I tried this twice. The first time I threw it out and I could not remember exactly why, and after reading reviews I wanted to try it again to see if it was because my eyes were just too dry at the time or I was applying too much. No and no. It does make you look older and is not flattering on my skin at all. I do my makeup in natural lighting where you can see details a bit more and its just bad. I do have oily skin and this dried pretty sticky for me. It clung to every single line and crease like nothing I've ever seen before!
If your 30+ with oily skin please please try Femme Couture Flawless Touch Eye Primer Nude 8.99 at Sally Beauty. It mattifies my eyelids all day (but does not dry them out). If I do not wear this my eye liner ends up making an extra line further up my socket, not cute. But this intensifies my eyeshadow, keeps oiliness at bay, and does not irritate my sensitive skin. I've probably bought 10+ tubes of the FC eye primer.

So I have always used Jessie's Girl eye primer until I found this. This primer is absolutely AMAZING for its price! My makeup lasts all day and I barely ever touch it up. I have VERY oily eyelids and this stuff worked better for me than UDPP. I HIGHLY recommend Milani eyeshadow primer to anyone and everyone!

I've tried a lot of what is out there for eye primers. I have to say, this Milani primer wins HG status. Here is why it wins HG. The first time I tested this primer out, I wanted to test it on bright richly pigmented shadows. So, I did a purple, pink and silver look. After about 12 hours of doing tasks like work, gym, cooking and cleaning, I went into the bathroom to go wash my face. I was half asleep when I looked in the mirror and scared myself! I thought "Wow, that is some bright ass eye shadow." I couldn't believe how vibrant it still looked at the end of the day. No fading at all! Not even in the crease area which is a big deal for me. I have deep set eyes and oily skin so my crease area tends to sweat and that is where I usually see the most fading. Also, no creasing! INCREDIBLE PRODUCT! Since then, I've done several looks using various brands of shadows and I consistently get the same positive results. The formula is thick like an ointment. It has slight pigmentation so it's great for covering tea stains. It's tacky for a bit to allow shadows to stick but it dries to a nice even finish. I don't have anything negative to say about this eye primer, I love it!

Great stuff. First you really notice a difference when you apply it and when you don't. There's a tackiness to it that reassures you that the eyeshadows is going to stick to it. It's tinted but it will blend into your skin as you work it in. I use a very small amount, a little bigger than a pin size for each eye. I usually give it about 30 seconds to set as the instructions on the packaging states and voila, my eyeshadows does not budge at all. Everything on my face can disappear by the end of the night, but my eye makeup would be immaculate. Keep in mind I don't have the oiliest of lids. Love this stuff and my friend whom I recommended it to loves it too and is already on her second tube. I also love that it's a squeeze tube because I feel like I wouldn't be wasting product and there's no messiness involved. Would definitely repurchase again and again.

Oh my god. THIS IS MY HOLY GRAIL PRODUCT! I have extremely oily lids and even Urban Decay Primer Potion in Eden (which was supposed to be for oily lids as mentioned by the MUA) can't save my oily lids. UDPP in Eden creases like mad on my oily lids and it makes my eyeshadow dull and murky. Smudges my waterproof eyeliner as well because waterproof eyeliner is resistant to water but not oil I guess (I live in a hot and humid climate). I was so disappointed and disheartened at the result because it took me a long time before I decided to bite the bullet and just purchase it as it is quite costly in the country that I live in. And to see that it does not work on me no matter how many times I try to change the way I apply it is really a big heartache. Still creases like mad.
And then here comes MILANI Eyeshadow Primer. Heard some good reviews on it and I hesitated for awhile before purchasing it due to the bad experience with UDPP. I thought if UDPP can't save my oily lids, nothing else can. I gave it a long thought before I came to the decision that I just need to try all kinds of eye primers in the hope to find one that may work for me.
So initially, I tried the ELF eyelid primer. I actually like it. It works better than UDPP as it does not cause creases, however, the staying power does not last long and a few hours (2-3 hours) later, my waterproof eyeliner runs at the side of my eyelid due to my oily lids. And I didn't really like the doe-foot applicator either, it makes it so hard to get the actual product and as a result, the product finishes rather quickly. Thank god they are so cheap though but I just wasn't satisfied with the ELF and wanted to find something better. So, I finally decided to try the MILANI Eyeshadow Primer as I heard really good reviews of it albeit being skeptical (thanks to UDPP! Pffts). But since it is cheaper compared to UDPP (slightly pricier than ELF's though) I thought "Oh heck, why the heck not?!". AND OH MY GOD, BEST DECISION EVER! I LOVE EVERYTHING ABOUT IT.
It comes in a squeeze tube which makes it so easy to get just the right amount that is needed for my eyelids. Only need very little of it for the whole lid! The product also has a little bit of tint to it (though it becomes sheer once applied on the eyelid) so when it is applied to the eyelid, it actually makes my eyelids looks nicer as it evens out the skin. Waited for about 1 minute or so for it to dry before applying my eye makeup. AND GOODNESS, IT DOES NOT CAUSE ANY CREASES AND MY EYESHADOW, LIQUID EYELINER AND ALL MY EYE MAKEUP DID NOT BUDGE AT ALL. HOLY MOLY! AND IT LAST VERY LONG AS WELL. I CAN WEAR IT FOR ABOUT 12 - 15 HOURS (that's the longest I've ever wore it out for) AND MY EYE MAKEUP STILL STAYS PUT WITH NO CREASING OR SMUDGES AT ALL. AND THIS IS COMING FROM SOMEONE WITH EXTREMELY OILY LIDS.
Oh MILANI, thank you for this remarkable product (and you make nice baked blushes too but that's another story for another time). Please do not ever discontinue this product! I highly recommend this for people with extremely oily lids and I'm so glad that my eyelids love this product more than the UDPP. At least my pocket won't feel the pinch when I repurchase this product again and again. For its cheap price, I really do not mind buying this over and over again. (:
Do try this product out if you want to opt for something that is cheaper but works great and I do hope that this product will work it magic on every else who tries it too. (:

Great DS primer without a doubt! I really like the formulation and how it brightens shadows and prevents creasing. I have used almost every primer and this and UDPP in anti aging are my fav's. I do think UD's lasts longer but Milani's works very well at brightening my e/s. I like the formula it spreads on easy and sets very well. I got about 6 hours before I saw some creasing mind you I have oily lids so i think it would last longer on those without this issue. For me it's a good solid primer that I will use and repurchase I like this one a lot especially for travel because if you lose it you don't have to worry how much $ you lost unlike UD's which, is pricey.
I am very impressed with the Milani line and have been purchasing their products for quite a while. These are just as good as some HE products imo and I like that they are cruelty free. They keep getting better as well and this primer is proof of it. Very happy with this and those with lids more on the dry side I think would love this. This primer is excellent and I really like it. Recommended!

I started using this thanks to a recommendation here on MUA when I asked makeup board for recs for my super oily eyelids. None of the following worked for me in terms of preventing creasing (my major problem): UDPP (this stopped working after using it for years without problems), TFSI, paint pots, MAC paint, Lorac, Benefit Stay don't Stray as well as numerous drugstore bases and primers (elf, color tattoo, Nyx etc....) - I even started mixing a bit of milk of magnesium with various primers to try and curb the problem with some success but there was still creasing at the end of my workday. This works amazingly well at preventing creasing, even if I put a base on top of it, no creasing whatsoever. I've had long days where I put my makeup on at 6:00AM, gym after work and when I look in the mirror at 9PM, my shadow has not budged and there is NO CREASING, everything else look like crap but my eyeshadow is still perfect. I can honestly say that this is a miracle product for me and I have replaced all my primers with this little gem and it's only $8 CDN

This is my HG primer. For years I never used primer. Is this a new thing, because I merely suffered with creasing, migrating shades, muddy colors, and excessive fading until my thirties. All throughout my teens and twenties we didn't have primer. If there was such a thing, we'd never heard of it. My first exposure was when I was looking into the UD Book of Shadows and it came with a sample of Primer Potion. I was like, "pfffft who needs primer?"
Well, my sister started raving about eyeshadow primer and how it made your colors super pigmented and how it kept everything from creasing and fading. For Christmas she gave me a tube of the E.L.F. Mineral Eyeshadow Primer and I was hooked. When my E.L.F. primer started to dry up I wanted to find something to replace it with. Not content to spend $20+ on eyeshadow primer, I searched the drugstore. Most cosmetic brands have their own version of a primer, but CVS had Milani BOGO 50% off, so I snagged a tube of their primer.
The first time I swatched it I was highly underwhelmed. It looked yellow, it applied thick and goopy, it didn't dry well, it was super sticky. I was about ready to throw it in the trash, but fortunately I didn't. Instead, I tried it again the next day, only this time I massaged the tube prior to using the product. Eureka! The ingredients had separated from sitting in the store and it just needed a little mixing back together. After that it worked much better. It applied sort of yellowish, but dries invisible. It doesn't settle in the creases or lines in the lid skin. And eyeshadow applies nicely.
I did a test on the back of my hand. I tried three different brands of eyeshadow, different brushes, and then used E.L.F. on one side of my hand and Milani on the other. Not only were the shades noticeably more pigmented when applied over the Milani, but when I did the rub-off test, the Milani shades stayed put, while the ones applied over the E.L.F. eyeshadow primer almost completely wiped away. I was super impressed after my little experiment and decided to buy an extra tube, just in case I ran out. My CVS is almost always sold out of this primer. It's that good!

I only really spent time with him once. Well, no, that isn't entirely true. I also met him briefly when I was a child, trying to fish for rainbow trout one summer morning in the Black Hills. He was a stranger, coming down the stream in hip-waders, green rubber overalls, but he stopped to help unsnarl my line from the dark pines that overhang Rapid Creek.
I remember liking him—a pleasant, soft-spoken man—and we walked together back toward the cabins for lunch. I thought, in fact, he must be a professional fisherman, with his fancy rod and his willow-woven creel, and we talked about fly-fishing on narrow streams (small movements, he told me: Use the wrist, not the arm) as the pale dust of the dirt road trailed up behind us.
Then my grandmother called out from the cabin door, thanking him curtly and hauling me inside. "We don't talk to that man," she explained, stiff and unhappy. And we didn't talk to him, apparently, because he was George McGovern. And because political memories are long and bitter in a small state like South Dakota. And because George McGovern, the prairie Democrat in the U.S. Senate, had somehow progressed with enormous speed from opposing the Vietnam war to representing "Amnesty, Abortion, and Acid"—had somehow gone from holding a reasonable if unusual position for a plains senator to being the figurehead for all the turmoil and agitation of the nation.
It was as though he had set up a snow fence, one of those droopy, temporary things of wooden slats and wire, across a narrow patch of prairie. And every tumbleweed and piece of litter, every stray political cause and unattached reason for social unhappiness, came piling against it—driven by the strange eddies of those times, till the detritus towered above the fence, out on the empty plains.
A political analyst might say, of McGovern's legacy, that the political winds of America would quickly blow the whole thing over, scattering its pieces to kingdom come. The man lost the 1972 presidential election, after all, in one of the greatest landslides in history: 17 electoral votes to Nixon's 520.
We shouldn't forget, however, that he won the Democratic nomination that year by, in essence, handing the party over forever to representatives of all those drifting causes—interest groups, we call them now—ripping it away from the city bosses, blue-collar Catholics, labor leaders, and Southern senators who had treated it as their private reserve since Franklin Roosevelt's time. And that new-formed party of McGovern's didn't go away. Not by a long shot. In the years since he sat back to watch the circus of the 1968 Democratic convention and figured out how he would ride the protesters to the next cycle's nomination, the party he created has held the presidency 16 out of 44 years. Not great, certainly, but hardly proof of eternal repudiation.
Over that same time, for that matter, the Democrats have controlled the House for 30 years and the Senate for 28: not Roosevelt's sort of dominance, but not peanuts, either. In truth, the Democrats have won just often enough since McGovern that they have not had to redefine themselves in any fundamental way. Oh, the three Democratic presidents after 1972—Carter, Clinton, and Obama—all campaigned in certain ways against their McGovernite origins, representing themselves as outsiders and triangulators and healers of national division. But whether or not they meant it, their administrations rapidly silted up with the usual run of activists, community organizers, racial analysts, feminists, and class-action lawyers.
With Democrats, in other words: true-believing members of the party that still resides where George McGovern left it in 1972. The founder and definer of that institution of the permanent revolution, McGovern remains more consequential in American political history than Woodrow Wilson or maybe even Barry Goldwater. He belongs in the elite class of politicians that includes, in this country, the likes of Andrew Jackson and Franklin Roosevelt.
Not that he wanted to talk about it when, as an adult, I met him again. The encounter was unplanned. I happened to run into him at a Washington restaurant, where we both were about to sit by ourselves. But we spent an hour and a half talking—and talking and talking: among the most enjoyable lunches I've ever known. Enjoyable enough, anyway, that we visited again a time or two before the relationship drifted away.

In Note 4 on the diagram, it is said that the longwave infrared radiation is emitted from the surface of the Earth due to the 168 W/m^2 of radiation from the sun that the surface has absorbed. In Note 5, it states that some of this radiation is absorbed by greenhouse gas molecules with half being emitted in the direction of space and half emitted back toward the Earth's surface. The infrared radiation from the greenhouse gas emission toward the surface is absorbed and the surface gains more heat. This additional heat causes more infrared radiation to be emitted, which again is absorbed by greenhouse gas molecules and half again is re-emitted toward the surface heating it still more.
This is very important in the greenhouse theory because the Earth's surface is desperately cold due to direct solar heating, since the black body temperature corresponding to a thermal power of 168 W/m^2 is only 233.3 K or -39.8 C. Fortunately, the theory claims half of the surface radiated infrared energy that is returned to the surface provides more heating of the surface, which radiates still more energy as it warms, but half of that is returned. In fact, the claim is made that a great deal of heat energy is added to the Earth's surface in this way. Let us examine the frequently cited Kiehl-Trenberth Energy Balance diagram to see how much.
This diagram comes in several versions and the incoming radiation from the sun absorbed by the surface differs somewhat in the various versions. In this diagram, it is 161 W/m^2, or a bit less than the 168 W/m^2 of the IPCC diagram above. The total energy added to the surface by greenhouse gas re-emission is said to be 333 W/m^2 here. This means that greenhouse gases are adding slightly more than two times the energy of the sun to warm the surface. They believe that a factor of two times the solar warming is due to the multiplier effect of greenhouse gas re-emission. Each time a greenhouse gas molecule absorbs ground radiation energy, it sends half of it back to the surface. The surface radiates all of that added energy and half of that half is returned to the surface by the gracious greenhouse gas molecule. The result is a geometric series of one-half raised to a power times the initial heat energy the surface had from the sun. It works like this:
Back Radiation = (161 W/m^2) (Sum from n=1 to infinity of terms 1/(2^n))
The greenhouse gas theory says that the sum of the geometric series is 2. Actually, the sum is 1. I suspect the error arose from the use of a general formula for geometric series which starts with the term for n=0 and one-half raised to power zero is one. The greenhouse gas theorists forgot to subtract this first term of one, which was not in the series they needed to sum. In any case, note that 2 times 161 W/m^2 is 322 W/m^2, or almost the 333 W/m^2 this diagram claims warms the surface with slightly more than twice the power of the sun itself.
There are many problems with the physics of these diagrams. This will not be a general discussion of all of these problems. I will note that it is interesting that the Kiehl-Trenberth diagram allows for some cooling of the surface by evaporation and by thermals or air convection currents, but these apparently become operative only after all of the direct solar warming radiation has already been doubled by the re-emission of infrared radiation back to the surface! One should note that no radiation is emitted by the nitrogen, oxygen, and argon that make up most of our atmosphere in this model. They are warm, as implied by the thermals, but they emit no radiation in their theory. [17 March 2013: Actually, oxygen molecules absorb and emit energy on the border of visible and infrared radiation (found in solar insolation, but not the Earth's emission spectrum) and nitrogen, oxygen, and argon all emit electromagnetic radiation in the very low energy microwave radiation spectrum. These represent very minor amounts of energy, however.]
Another interesting implication is that the absorbing greenhouse gas molecule always re-emits 100% of the infrared radiation it absorbs. It never transfers any energy to nitrogen, oxygen, or argon due to collisions, despite molecular collisions occurring at the rate of 6.9 billion per second at sea level. In reality, such collisions do occur before re-emission does and the absorbed energy often is transferred to nitrogen, oxygen, and argon molecules or atoms, which remain cooler than the Earth's surface under most conditions and times of day.

In reality, such collisions do occur before re-emission does and the absorbed energy often is transferred to nitrogen, oxygen, and argon molecules or atoms, which remain cooler than the Earth's surface under most conditions and times of day.
As we know, heat is not transferred from cooler bodies to warmer bodies. The flow of heat is always from the warmer to the cooler body. This creates a problem since as one ascends in height in the lower atmosphere, called the troposphere, which extends to an altitude of about 15,000 meters, the temperature drops. Where the average surface temperature is 288 K, the temperature at 1000 meters altitude is 281.7 K, and at 5,000 meters it is 255.7 K, or about the same temperature the Earth appears to be as seen from space and assuming it is a black body radiator. Of course it is not a black body radiator, despite the fact that greenhouse gas theorists almost always assume it is. The everyday objects of our lives do emit infrared radiation, but with a reduced efficiency compared to a black body radiator. The Earth's surface is full of everyday objects and materials, none of which are black body radiators. Greenhouse gas theory says that the greatest increase in temperature due to added CO2 occurs at an altitude of 8,000 to 12,000 meters above the equator and the lower latitudes. At 10,000 meters, the gas temperature is 223.3 K. A greenhouse gas molecule at any of these altitudes is colder when at equilibrium with the surrounding gas molecules than the surface of the Earth at 288K. Even if we compare to the black body temperature corresponding to the 161 W/m^2 said to come straight from the sun, the molecules at 10,000 meters are colder than that surface would be and they could not heat it according to thermodynamics principles. Apparently, the greenhouse theorists believe the greenhouse gas molecule absorbs the infrared radiation it is able to absorb and that raises the temperature of the molecule to a higher temperature than the surrounding molecules in the atmosphere at that elevation and before the greenhouse gas molecule has a collision and transfers energy to those surrounding molecules, it re-emits infrared energy to the ground and warms it.
Let us now discuss the properties of a black body radiator. It is a very special cavity with a very thin skin. The volume within the cavity has a very special property. The energy density, or the energy per unit volume of space, is constant everywhere within it. That energy is determined by the photons of various frequencies that are emitted from the walls of the cavity as uniquely determined by the temperature of the walls of the cavity. One of the interesting properties of a black body cavity is that if the interior volume is doubled, then the emission of photons from the walls must also double, assuming the temperature remains the same. Let us examine the distribution of electromagnetic frequencies found in a black body at several temperatures of interest for the greenhouse gas theory of global warming. The diagram below shows the spectrum of frequencies or wavelengths for the sun and for some temperatures similar to that of the Earth.
The spectrum of wavelengths for the sun at 5525 K is shown at the left top of the diagram to have a peak in the visible light part of the electromagnetic spectrum, but also has a long tail in the infrared part of the spectrum. On the right top of the diagram, three spectra of emission energies are shown for black body radiators at 310, 260, and 210 K. These are the smooth lines of violet, blue, and black, respectively. The Earth's surface at about 288 K is closer to the spectrum for a body at 310 K. The blue area filled in within those black body spectra is the portion of longwave infrared radiation from the surface of the Earth which is not absorbed by the greenhouse gases. The wavelengths at which the greenhouse gases absorb radiation is shown for each gas below, as is the sum of their absorptions.
If the Earth's surface is at a certain temperature, then it too will have a black body-like emission spectrum. Now suppose that CO2 absorbs a particular wavelength of infrared radiation out of that spectrum and then re-emits that energy at that wavelength back to the Earth's surface. Can that photon absorbed by the surface raise the temperature of the surface? No. The reason it cannot raise the temperature of the surface is because to do so, the radiative spectrum has to move to the left in the diagram above. The shorter wavelengths on the left correspond to higher frequencies and to higher energies. For the surface to become warmer due to the absorption of the photon from a greenhouse gas, higher energy vibrational states must become occupied in the Earth's surface materials. A photon from a lower temperature emitter cannot warm the surface to a higher temperature because that lower energy photon cannot excite the necessary higher energy vibrational modes. That photon can slow down the cooling of surface at night, since its emission at night will cool the surface and the returned photon will be at a higher energy than the surface is by the time the photon returns. This is the equivalent of the process when we put hot coffee in a thermos, thereby slowing down its cooling rate. But, the returning photons from the reflective wall in the thermos never heat the coffee to a higher temperature than it was at when it was poured into the thermos.
Whether a photon is absorbed by a material or not is dependent upon the electronic and vibrational states in the material which can be excited and the energy of the photon. The fact that a photon is incident upon a material does not mean it will be absorbed. The greenhouse gas theorists recognize this when the material is nitrogen or oxygen molecules, but they assume the Earth's surface can absorb whatever strikes it, at least if it is a low energy or longwave infrared photon. But, just as visible light passes through window glass without absorption, this is not necessarily the case. The light photon is not absorbed in glass because glass has a wide energy band gap in which there are no occupied or unoccupied electronic states. Still higher energy ultraviolet energy may excite available unoccupied electronic states, which in turn will de-excite in time. Until they do, they can warm the glass. But visible light just passes through. The same is the case with some of the low energy, longwave infrared radiation returned from greenhouse gas molecule de-excitations. The Earth's surface will not accept them since the excitable vibrational states are already excited and vibrating assuming that its temperature has not dropped since the returned photon was emitted by the ground. There simply is no available energy state able to accept it. The fact that the greenhouse gas alarmists ignore this fact is a very egregious error.
For another approach to the problem of heating surfaces with black body radiation, let us return to the black body cavity. To make this simple to picture, let us assume it consists of two identical hemispheres which we have put together to make a sphere. We supply heat to the sphere wall to bring it to a temperature T. The power radiating from the black body walls is known to be equal to a constant times T to the fourth power. The interior is full of photons, which are incident upon the walls, which are also radiating photons. Let us image one of the hemispheres is on the left and one is on the right as we look at our black body radiator. When a photon from the right wall is incident upon the left wall, the temperature of the left wall does not go up. It remains constant. An incident photon did not cause a temperature rise. Of course, one may say that the incident fluxes of photons are equal to emitted fluxes, so it is expected the temperature will not increase. But, then if we have supposed that the greenhouse gas molecule that has absorbed a photon from the Earth's surface has not lost energy to a gas collision and has re-emitted the photon at the same energy back to the Earth's surface, then why would the Earth's surface temperature increase any more than the left hemisphere wall temperature would in our black body cavity? The answer is that it would not.
Perhaps you would object that there is something so special about the black body radiator that the Earth's surface cannot replicate it and will act differently. Indeed, there are differences, but it is the analogy to the black body radiator explicitly that is being used in the greenhouse gas theory. The differences of the Earth's surface from a black body radiator are important, but I cannot see how they help to allow one to claim that photons of an energy from the surface's black body radiation spectrum are able to drive the surface to higher temperature than it had when it first emitted a photon of the same energy.
Let us try still another thought experiment. Let us separate our two black body hemispheres ever so slightly so that we have two hemispheres facing each other and they are still at the same temperature. In the greenhouse gas theory, these two facing spheres would heat each other up to a higher temperature! The right sphere would emit a photon and it would be absorbed by the left sphere. The left sphere would then emit half of such photons back to the right sphere and half out into space from the outside surface of the hemisphere. But then half of those emitted from the inside surface would be incident upon the right hemisphere inside surface and be re-emitted toward the left hemisphere. Of course one might say the right hemisphere emits half inward and half outward, but note that in greenhouse gas theory no photons are emitted in the direction of the Earth's interior, despite the fact that they actually are. So assuming the right hemisphere acts like the Earth's surface and the left hemisphere acts like the greenhouse gas, we have set up the same "energy doubling" geometric series between our two hemispheres. The temperature of the right hemisphere must climb. Well, no, it does no such thing. The two hemispheres will remain at the same temperature just as if they were still together as a standard black body cavity. Well not quite. Actually, each will be a very slightly lower and equal temperature.
Let us now take our hemispheres and widely separate them. We will put the right one at a higher temperature than the left and then bring them into close proximity to almost make a spherical cavity. What will happen? The cooler left hemisphere will warm, but neither hemisphere will become warmer than the right hemisphere before they were brought together. The photons incident upon the warmer right hemisphere from the cooler left hemisphere cannot make the initially warmer hemisphere any warmer. Why would they when if we made the left hemisphere the same temperature as the warmer hemisphere, it could not warm that hemisphere. Indeed, the most ideal situation for warming one hemisphere would be to put the two hemispheres back together to make the true black body cavity, but with each hemisphere at a temperature T as we put them together, we would simply wind up with a black body cavity with a temperature of T.
In short, the greenhouse gas theory errs badly about the behavior of black body radiation and radiators. Yes, bodies above absolute zero temperature do radiate photons. But those photons are not always absorbed and they are able to raise the temperature of the absorbing body only if they are of a high enough energy to allow vibrational states to be excited which would be excited in the black body radiator at that higher temperature. The black body radiator requires that the energy levels of its spectrum be occupied and that they be filled to the prescribed extent given by the black body energy distribution for a given temperature. Having many photons incident at an energy level which is already filled, will not increase the temperature of the black body radiator material.
The consensus greenhouse gas theory hugely exaggerates the effect of greenhouse gases. This is not to say that there is no effect. As I have pointed out in a chapter of Slaying the Sky Dragon: Death of the Greenhouse Gas Theory (Stairway Press, Mount Vernon, Washington, 2011), greenhouse gases cool the Earth's surface during the daylight hours and retard its cooling in many cases at night. This is an important, though in no way catastrophic effect, and it has been observed to be happening as the CO2 concentrations have increased. But those effects of greenhouse gases do not violate the conservation of energy and do not require cooler or equal temperature bodies to warm a warmer or equal temperature body.
As I also pointed out in that chapter, the incident radiation from the sun is actually somewhat greater than that claimed in the diagrams above. The temperature of the Earth's surface given that higher energy flux or power density is also much higher than the equivalent black body radiator, since the Earth's surface has a much lower emissivity than does a black body. This means that it cools itself more slowly with radiation than a black body would. As a result, the Earth's surface is likely only about 9 C warmer than one would expect from the incident radiation from the sun. There are many other sources of energy that can account for this much smaller energy differential. Among these are the effects of gravity upon our atmosphere, the heat from the very hot interior of the Earth, the energy due to the tides in the ocean and land due to the moon and other bodies in our solar system, the energy from cosmic rays and dust, the energy from the solar wind, the energy from the interaction of the sun's magnetic field with that of the Earth, and the energy stored in the subsurface oceans and land. The urban heat island effect is also substantial in some areas, though relatively minor across the globe.

Firefighters are crediting sprinklers with reducing the amount of damage caused by a cooking fire at a Coralville residence Wednesday.
Coralville firefighters responded to a report of a structure fire inside a multi-family housing unit at 6:19 p.m. Wednesday at 2888 Coral Court. Firefighters encountered a kitchen fire that had been knocked down by the building's sprinkler system.
One of the occupants told firefighters she had been cooking with oil when the fire started. When she tried to move the pan, she spilled the burning liquid, firefighters said.
The woman exited the building with her husband and infant child. The other residents in the 12-unit building exited when they heard the fire alarm.
The firefighters quickly turned off the sprinkler system and spent 45 minutes removing water from the apartment to reduce damage. Fire crews estimated the damage to the apartment to be about $10,000, far less of what it would have been without the sprinklers.

Seth Bass has resigned his position as McClain Christian Academy athletic director to accept a position at Hermann High School in Missouri.
Bass has been at MCA for three seasons, the first two as head coach of the Bulldogs' eight-man football program before it was disbanded a year ago.
"My wife [Bridget] is from the Midwest originally, and we needed to be closer to her family again," Bass aid. "It's taken a lot of hard work these past few years, but it's been a wonderful place and I hate leaving the kids. But I feel our move is for the best."
Bass spent four years in Missouri as an assistant football coach at Culver-Stockton College before coming to Cumberland as a graduate-assistant in 2010.
In two years as McClain's coach, Bass' Bulldogs posted a 6-12 record, including a 5-4 mark in the second season, the team's only full varsity campaign before it was merged as a co-op with Mt. Juliet Christian last fall, where he served as an assistant under former Saints coach Jake Roberts.
"Losing my football program hurt a lot, and actually got me looking around a little last spring to be honest," Bass aid. "I knew MJCA wasn't somewhere I wanted to coach long-term, but I was friends with Jake and wanted to help my kids transition into the co-op, too, so I stayed one more year."
Bass also coached volleyball, bowling, tennis and golf at various times during his tenure. His wife coached volleyball at MJCA during this period.
While at MCA, a tennis program was started, the bowling team won back-to-back MTAC state tournaments, recorded the first playoff basketball wins for both girls and boys and saw the boys record their first winning basketball season with a 15-9 mark in 2012-13.
Bass oversaw the school's transition into TSSAA and its co-op with MJCA.
"Aside from his knowledge, professionalism and work ethic, his most valuable asset to me is his God-like spirit," said MCA interim headmaster Charles Poston. "He will be missed."
A search for Bass' replacement will begin immediately.

|Single-access laparoscopic colectomy utilizing gravity in the lateral decubitus position.
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 23135589 Owner: NLM Status: In-Data-Review
|BACKGROUND: : Only a limited number of instruments can be used in single-access laparoscopic colectomy, and triangulation must be forfeited to avoid instrument collision. We investigated whether this problem could be overcome by performing laparoscopic colectomy by the use of the lateral decubitus position, making full use of gravity.
OBJECTIVE: : The aim of this study was to determine whether single-access laparoscopic colectomy could be achieved while maintaining patients in the lateral decubitus position.
DESIGN: : This was a prospective study.
SETTING: : This single-center study was conducted in a hospital.
PATIENTS: : Ten consecutive patients (4 men and 6 women) with stage II or III colon cancer were included.
INTERVENTIONS: : Each patient was placed in the lateral decubitus position. Single-port access to the abdomen was provided by a 3.0-cm incision at the umbilicus. The roots of the supplying or draining vessels were isolated and divided for lymphadenectomy. Next, the colon was dissected from a lateral approach, without the help of the assistant. The specimen was extracted from the single-access incision. Extracorporeal or intracorporeal anastomosis was performed.
MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: : The primary outcome measured was the feasibility of single-access laparoscopic colectomy in the lateral decubitus position.
RESULTS: : There were no intraoperative complications and no need for conversions to conventional laparoscopic surgery, open surgery, or the supine position. The median total surgical time was 154 minutes (interquartile range, 135-220 minutes). Surgical blood loss was slight (<20 mL) in all patients. No postoperative complications occurred. The median postoperative hospital stay was 7 days (interquartile range, 5-7 days).
LIMITATIONS: : The sample size was small.
CONCLUSIONS: : Our results show that single-access laparoscopic colectomy in the lateral decubitus position is safe and feasible.
