Research Summary1. Site specific cell death in ovarian serous carcinoma: We have identified a location specific cell death in invasive ovarian serous carcinomas, micro-invasive serous borderline tumors, and in serous borderline tumors with invasive implants. The cell death occurs next to areas of stroma, resulting in clusters of cells lying in spaces or clefts. We plan to study the mechanism of this tumor cell death. Understanding of these mechanisms may lead to identification of possible novel mechanisms of cell death and new therapeutic targets in ovarian serous carcinomas and serous borderline tumors. 2. Pathogenesis of Uterine Leiomyomata: Studies are currently underway in our lab. to investigate the role of TSC2, insulin signaling pathway, steroid receptors and steroid receptor co-factors in promoting growth of uterine leiomyomata. Results from immunohistochemical studies would be correlated with results form gene chip studies. We have identified two groups of leiomyomata that are pathogenetically distinct. Further studies are underway to identify ethnic and morphologic correlates of these two groups. 69. Jianjun Wei, Luis Chiriboga, Masashi Mizuguchi, Herman Yee, Khush Mittal.

Precursor lesions for Uterine Leiomyosarcoma: While precancerous lesions in the carcinomas are well described (for example intraductal carcinoma of breast), similar premalignant lesions are not widely recognized for sarcomas. I have identified possible precursor lesions to uterine leiomyosarcoma (cellular and atypical leiomyoma) that can be frequently found on sections of leiomyosarcoma on careful examination. Further studies are underway to delineate the molecular changes in these various areas to determine if these benign looking areas represent precursor lesions for leiomyosarcomas or leiomyosarcomas that have differentiated into more mature areas. 4. Ki-67 in diagnostic Cervical Pathology: MIB-1 is a monoclnal antibody to Ki-67 antigen. It works well in formalin fixed tissues. We have used MIB-1 immunohistochemistry to distinguish uterine cervical benign and reactive lesions from condylomas and dysplasias. We have found it very useful for differentiating atrophic changes that can mimic dysplasia, from true dysplasia. We have shown that MIB-1 expression is also useful in differentiating leiomyosarcomas from leiomyomas and smooth muscle tumors of uncertain malignant potential.

Review by Jandy Hardesty
Crocodile Dundee 1986
Jandy Hardesty's review:
A fun romp through the wildernesses of the Australian Outback and of New York City. Fairly inconsequential, but cute and enjoyable. I did like some of the ways the film inverted my expectations - setting Dundee up first as a teller of tall tales who actually turns out to be supremely competent, and then leading me to expect him to be a buffoon in NYC, but having him turn out pretty well there, too. Made for less real conflict, but in a film like this, that's okay.

Yes, we imagine, international espionage is probably pretty much like this. No thrilling car chases and no big action scenes, but rather a series of weary men, smoking and drinking tea or whiskey, in a series of conversations that circle an enigma. "Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy" is about the search for a high-level Soviet spy within MI6, the British intelligence service. This mole is not to be found in an exotic location, but seems more than likely to be one of the men in the room.
The movie is based on John Le Carre's 1974 novel, which redefined modern spy fiction and inspired an ambitious 1979 BBC adaptation. There was reason to believe Le Carre knew his subject. In the real world, where his real name is David Cornwall, he was one of the British spies who was betrayed by Kim Philby, the notorious MI6 operative who was a double agent for the Soviets. In the fictional version, MI6 is headed by Control (John Hurt), who studies a series of intelligence leaks and becomes convinced there's a mole in the agency; the nature of the intelligence suggests it must come from high up, and Control narrows his list of suspects to five men close to him.
The movie introduces them one by one, each played by a familiar face in a film cast with iconic British actors. "Tinker" is Percy Alleline (Toby Jones), "Tailor" is Bill Haydon (Colin Firth), "Soldier" is Roy Bland (Ciaran Hinds), "Poor Man" is Toby Esterhase (David Dencik) and "Beggarman" is George Smiley (Gary Oldman), Control's trusted lieutenant. If you're wondering what happened to "Spy," that would be whoever turns out to be the mole.
The film, set mostly in London in the early 1970s, is bathed in browns, shadows and pale lighting. All of the men show a lot of wear, none more than Control; John Hurt's face is weary and deeply lined, his eyes set deep out of the way of cigarette smoke, but lest you think that is entirely because of aging, I interviewed him in 1984 while he was filming "1984," and he looked much the same then.
As the film opens, he has learned that a Hungarian general who would know the mole's identity may be a possible defector. In a muted, serious conversation that will set the film's tone, he assigns Jim Prideaux (Mark Strong) to go to Budapest and talk to this man. That mission goes wrong and serves to alert the Soviets -- although the mole would already know Control was engaged in sniffing him out. In the kerfuffle that follows, both Control and Smiley are dismissed from the service. Some time later, Control is dead from a heart attack, and Smiley is recalled from "retirement" to continue the search for the mole.
Now follows a series of paranoid meetings in sealed rooms, snatched conversations in obscure corners of London and flashbacks that may cast light on Smiley's investigation, although we cannot yet know for sure. All of this is superbly atmospheric in the hands of director Tomas Alfredson, who made the sober and effective vampire movie "Let the Right One In." His camera is implacable, its moves sinister, the rooms are filled with smoke and fear, and the characters warily circle around — well, each other, really.
"Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy" looks, sounds and feels exactly right. Alfredson's film is faithful to the tone set by the novel. But the screenplay, by Bridget O'Connor and Peter Straughan, is not a model of clarity. I confess I was confused some of the time and lost at other times; the viewer needs to hold in mind a large number of characters, a larger number of events and an infinite number of possibilities.
More ordinary spy movies provide helpful scenes in which characters brief each other as a device to keep the audience oriented. I have every confidence that in this film, every piece of information is there and flawlessly meshes, but I can't say so for sure, perhaps because I don't have a mind suitable for espionage. I enjoyed the film's look and feel, the perfectly modulated performances, and the whole tawdry world of spy and counterspy, which must be among the world's most dispiriting occupations. But I became increasingly aware that I didn't always follow all the allusions and connections. On that level, "Tinker Tailor" didn't work for me.
This message came to me from a reader named Peter Svensland. He and a fr...

At Hotel, Look, But Don't Taste, Gingerbread House
There's no escaping the holiday spirit upon stepping into the Silverdale Beach Hotel lobby, where a life-size gingerbread house greets visitors.
For the third year in a row, the house has become a popular attraction for patrons and other members of the community, said Chris Koebelin, the hotel's general manager.
"People take a lot of pictures in front of it and inside it," he said. "Kids just love it. Kids run right into it."
The house, which is roughly 60 square feet, is built like a real home with an A-frame design and trusses, and it fits around the hotel lobby's gas fireplace. Part of the roof remains open so a ceiling sprinkler could douse the structure in a fire.
For practical reasons, the structure actually is not made with gingerbread, although the thought did cross Koebelin's mind, he said. The house was constructed with plywood covered in Styrofoam. It was painted brown and decorated with cotton and pieces of candy. A chimney was added last year, and the inside is furnished with a couple of lobby chairs.
Koebelin built the house with the hotel's facility manager, Nestor Bato.
"We're both big Christmas guys," he said.
The giant gingerbread display will remain in the lobby until Jan. 5, Koebelin said.
More Gingerbread Events
People of all ages can participate in a gingerbread house contest, which will be judged by Silverdale Beach Hotel staff on Friday. Houses must be dropped off at the hotel, at 3073 NW Bucklin Hill Road, no later than Thursday. Categories for the competition are: kindergarten and first grade, second through fourth grade, fifth and sixth grade and adults.
For information, call (360) 698-1000.
Santa will be at the life-size gingerbread house on Friday and Saturday so parents can bring their cameras and snap pictures of him with their children.
The house also is available to day care and preschool groups interested in storytelling activities. To make an appointment, call the hotel's marketing director, Dina Manatad, at (425) 830-1795.

Has anyone here ridden across Oklahoma from Boise City to Fort Smith, Arkansas?
I started daydreaming this morning while riding and pondered this ride (Actually from Branson, Colorado to Russellville, Arkansas) next spring. I would guess the route might go east on U.S. 160 to Springfield, then south on U.S. 287 to Boise City, then east to Woodward, southeast to Seiling then east to Stillwater or south a bit farther and go to Guthrie, then work across to south of Tulsa and toward Muskogee, then Fort Smith. I would then stay south of I-40 on something like Arkansas 22 to Russellville and then terminate the ride at Petit Jean State Park.
Any advice as far as finding the best route? I know from my house to Stillwater or Guthrie, I would have very little traffic to deal with except for the stretch from Springfield to Boise City. East of Stillwater traffic picks up, but with good route selection, might be able to lessen the impact. I also know I would have a 4000 foot elevation drop from my house to Woodward, then it would flatten out a bit more.
Pondering this trip in late March, early April (spring break) so I know it could be a windy ride (hopefully mostly tailwinds across the Panhandle.
I am starting to do the research on racks and panniers and camping gear. Any advice on good resources for that?

STILLWATER — Suspended Oklahoma State football player Bo Bowling will stand trial for felony and misdemeanor drug charges, a Payne County judge ruled on Friday, and those charges have been amended to include possession of an anabolic steroid, according to court documents. Paperwork filed with the Oklahoma State Courts Network on April 7 showed the amended misdemeanor charge of possession of a controlled dangerous substance to include Ephedrine and the anabolic steroid Stanozolol, in addition to Alprazolam, also known as the anti-anxiety medication Xanax, which was part of the initial charge. The amendments to the charge stemmed from chemical testing of additional substances which were not immediately identifiable by police at the time of the initial filing. Bowling also had been charged with felony possession of marijuana with intent to distribute and misdemeanor unlawful possession of drug paraphernalia. On Feb. 10, he pleaded not guilty to all three charges. On Friday, Special District Judge Phillip C. Corley denied the motion of Bowling's attorney, Cheryl Ramsey, to suppress evidence found at Bowling's residence on Feb. 8 that resulted in all three charges. Ramsey termed the Feb. 8 search of Bowling's home a "fishing expedition" when officers acted on information received from an ex-girlfriend of Bowling to obtain evidence against him. When officers arrived at Bowling's home, he admitted marijuana had been used there that night, leading police to obtain a search warrant. Corley ruled that police "had sufficient reason" to approach Bowling's home for investigation. Bowling remained free on bond Friday and must appear in court May 8 for trial. He has been suspended from football activities pending the result of court proceedings.

My baby won't go back to sleep unless I nurse her.

My girl was doing this too. We had like 3 nights where she was up 45min all night long and basically wouldn't sleep unless my breast was in her mouth (she rejects pacifiers and bottles). We decided to sleep train (meaning she was going into her crib every 1-2 hours with a 5-6pm bedtime)-- she wasn't a fan at first. She cried a lot. I stayed with her and put my hand on her chest, but let her settle herself. She slept from 5pm till 2am the first night (last sunday)! I think she was exhausted. As of last night, she goes to bed about 6pm (I'd prefer 5pm, but it just doesn't work w/ my son's schedule) and will sleep until about 11pm & get up at 2am & 5am and 7am for the day. We are still working on daytime naps, she will wake after 30-45min (which is an improvement from 20 min)--- so depending on the bed "time" she will take 3-4 naps each day.

Bishop Skylstad Recalls a "Truly Remarkable Life"
Statement by President of U.S. Episcopate
| 1230 hits
WASHINGTON, D.C., APRIL 3, 2005 (Zenit.org).- The president of the U.S. bishops' conference remarked that, "At the very center of his being, Pope John Paul II was a priest and pastor."
In a statement released Saturday after the death of the Holy Father, Spokane Bishop William Skylstad added: "As Pope John Paul enters the fullness of eternal life we celebrate, as people of faith, his truly remarkable life."
In his statement, Bishop Skylstad emphasized John Paul II's contribution to implementing the Church's Second Vatican Council; his impact on world affairs, including the fall of Communism in Eastern Europe; and his ecumenical and interfaith endeavors, especially with regard to the Catholic Church's relationship with the Jews.
Bishop Skylstad also called attention to John Paul II's proclamation of "the importance of protecting human life from conception to natural death," his opposition to the death penalty, and his defense of the rights of workers and of the poor.
He called John Paul II "a voice for the voiceless and the vulnerable" and "a friend to humanity."
Bishop Skylstad praised the pontiff as "a great teacher" who had written an "extraordinary series of encyclicals" and who, out of his concern that "all the people of the Church have a clear understanding of the faith," oversaw the development of the Catechism of the Catholic Church.
The statement also highlighted the care that John Paul II had for youth, manifested in the celebration of World Youth Days around the world, and for the elderly and infirm to whom he was been an inspiration "as his own physical limitations mounted."

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) -- Republican Gov. Bill Haslam has signed an executive order that eliminates a requirement for the governor and top aides to disclose how much they earn.
Under the order signed after Haslam took office on Saturday, the disclosure rules applying to himself and senior administration officials will be the same as those for members of the General Assembly. Those only requires them to list sources of income, but not how much they make.
The move wipes off the books former Democratic Gov. Phil Bredesen's first executive order of 2003, which required the top executive branch officials to make annual reports about their total earnings.
Haslam was heavily criticized during the campaign for refusing to say how much he earned from family owned Pilot, a national truck stop chain with annual revenues of about $20 billion.

Brief Summary
Physical Description
Physical Description
In all pseudostigmatids, the pterostigma (weighted cell near the wing tips) is replaced by a dense network of cells that form the "pseudostigma" from which the familial name is derived. The nodus (thick crossvein in the first cell row at the leading edge of the wing) is shifted within one-quarter of the total wing length of the base of the wing. Megaloprepus is distinguished from all other Pseudostigmatids by a heavy metallic-blue band across each wing and a suffuse whitish area before and after the dark band. Adult wing span can reach 170 mm.
Larvae are about 25mm, less caudal gills, when fully developed, dark in coloration and of mostly typical damselfly-form. They are unusual in the form of the terminal plate-like gills which are expanded and ovoid beyond the base, and in the conspicuous white dots at the tip of each of the three gills.
Adults fly in small openings, such as those caused by tree-falls, in undisturbed tropical forests. Ecological research has demonstrated the inability of this species to cross deforested areas.
Most damselfly larvae develop in streams or ponds. Pseudostigmatidae are unusual in that they develop in various container habitats such as tree holes, tank bromeliads and bamboo internodes – collectively called "phytotelmata" which means "plant-held water". Megaloprepus larvae are known to develop only in small pools in tree rot-holes or in depressions on fallen trees.
Life History and Behavior
Life Cycle
Life History
All Odonata mate via the classic "wheel" copulatory position, with the male using its claspers to hold the back of the head of the female. The female positions her gonopore under specially developed sperm transfer organs on the second abdominal segment of the female. The male had previously transferred sperm from a pore near the tip of his abdomen to the transfer mechanisms on his own second abdominal segment.
After mating, the female explores for suitable oviposition (egg-laying) sites by probing cavities for water. When the female is satisfied, oviposition occurs in soft rotted bark or wood near the margin of the tree-hole.
Multiple larvae may develop in any given cavity, leading to competition, including antagonistic behavior and cannibalism due to competition for limited space and resources. Generally, only one larva will emerge as an adult from a hole.
Eggs generally hatch in about 20-40 days and larval development time is about 40 days. Once larval development is complete, metamorphosis occurs, as in this remarkable sequence of photographs by Ola Fincke.

Megaloprepus caerulatus
Megaloprepus caerulatus is a damselfly of the Forest Giant family (Pseudostigmatidae), found in wet and moist forests in Central and South America. It has the greatest wingspan of any living damselfly or dragonfly, up to 19 centimeters (7.5 inches) in the largest males. Its large size and the markings on its wings make it a conspicuous species; a hovering Megaloprepus has been described as a "pulsating blue-and-white beacon".[1]
As an adult it feeds on orb-weaver spiders in the forest understory, which it plucks from their webs. It lays its eggs in water-filled holes in trees; males defend the larger holes as breeding territories. The naiad is a top predator in its tree-hole habitat, feeding on tadpoles and aquatic insects, including the larvae of mosquito species that are vectors of human disease.
M. caerulatus is the only species in genus Megaloprepus.
Egg and naiad[edit]
Megaloprepus lays its eggs in the water that collects in holes in trees. These plant-borne bodies of water, known as phytotelmata, may form in a living tree when a branch breaks off or a burl rots, or indentations in a trunk may fill with water after the tree falls. The eggs hatch in a minimum of 18 days, but the hatching of eggs laid on the same day is spread out over as much as half a year. This extreme variation in hatching time—unknown in any other damselfly—increases the chance that some eggs will hatch when no predator is present.[2]
As with other damselflies, the young—known as naiads, nymphs, or larvae—are carnivorous. The most ubiquitous prey in the tree holes they inhabit are mosquito larvae, but they will also feed on tadpoles, syrphid fly and chironomid fly larvae, and other odonate (dragonfly and damselfly) naiads.[3] The three leaflike caudal lamellae at the end of the abdomen, which serve as gills, are broad and elaborately folded, an adaptation to intermittent low oxygen availability in its habitat.[4] Each lamella has a conspicuous white spot, making Megaloprepus easy to distinguish from other tree-hole damselflies.[5]
As many as 13 females may oviposit in a single large tree hole, laying up to 250 eggs each, but the numbers of naiads are reduced by cannibalism. Even when there is a high concentration of other prey, Megaloprepus naiads still kill each other until a density of one naiad per 1-2 liters of water is reached.[6] They are not territorial, but larger individuals displace smaller ones; their aggressive behavior includes raising and swinging the caudal lamellae and striking with the labium, the hinged, extensible lower "lip" that odonate naiads use to catch prey.[7]
The adult's body is dark brown or black and has yellowish markings. The wings are hyaline (transparent), with a dark blue band on the outer third. Females have a milky-tinged patch at the tip of each wing, while males of most populations have a white band just inside the blue one.[8]
In 1923, Philip Calvert described Megaloprepus in flight:[9]
When flying the four wings are spread quite far apart, fore and hind wing of the same side far apart, body horizontal. Flight slow enough so that the movements of each separate wing can be seen—insect consequently moves slowly but can dodge. Mr. Barnes compared the movements of the wings to that of a windmill, but the revolving movements are lacking; I should say the effect produced by the wings is more like that of a jumping-jack with moveable arms and legs pulled by one string, rather slowly, but, of course, at regular intervals.
It is one of the few species in order Odonata in which males are larger than females,[10] with abdomens up to 10 cm (4 in.) long and wingspans of up to 19 cm (7.5 in.)[11]—the greatest wingspan of all odonates.[12] Size varies geographically; Megaloprepus on Barro Colorado Island in Panama are smaller than those at La Selva Biological Station in Costa Rica or Los Tuxtlas field station in the Mexican state of Veracruz.[13]
Adult lifespans as long as 7 months have been recorded.[14]
Like other pseudostigmatid damselflies, Megaloprepus feeds on web-building spiders. It forages in areas that receive direct sun, such as the gaps created by fallen trees or branches; the light helps it avoid becoming entangled.[15] When it finds a web, it hovers in front of it until it locates the spider. Then it flies backward and quickly darts forward again to grab the spider in its forelegs. Finally it backs away and perches to consume the spider, removing the legs before eating the body.[16]
Most tree holes contain less than a liter of water, but some can hold as much as 50 liters. Male Megaloprepus defend these larger holes as breeding territories, mating with females who come to the tree hole to oviposit.[17]
Several factors make large tree holes more valuable to Megaloprepus than small ones. Not only can their greater volume accommodate more naiads at a time, they have a higher density of prey in the form of tadpoles and mosquito larvae; this allows the naiads to grow more rapidly and reach adulthood sooner. In forests with a dry season, larger tree holes can last nearly a month longer before drying out completely. As a result, large tree holes can produce three cohorts per season, totalling perhaps a few dozen new adults, while only one or two emerge from a small hole. Large tree holes also give Megaloprepus better chances of surviving to emerge if one of its slower-growing relatives in genus Mecistogaster is already present. In a tree hole small enough to be effectively patrolled by a single naiad, the first species to hatch is likely to eat all newcomers, but in a large one Megaloprepus can escape long enough to outgrow and eventually eat an older resident. Finally, probably due to the greater abundance of prey, larger tree holes produce larger males that will be better able to defend a territory themselves when they reach reproductive maturity.[18]
A territorial male drives away other males from his territory by chasing and sometimes hitting them. He does not allow females to lay eggs in the hole he defends without mating with him first, but he does not pursue females who opt instead to leave the scene. The structure of the penis suggests that, as with many other odonates, male Megaloprepus are able to displace sperm from previous matings, ensuring the paternity of the eggs. For their part, females do not choose mates based on size, and will sometimes remate with smaller males who cannot take over a territory and instead adopt a satellite position nearby. At least some females will lay eggs in undefended tree holes before mating again.[19]
Megaloprepus avoids flying across large clearings that lack shaded perches, and has poor flight endurance, achieving a maximum distance of less than 1 km when experimentally released over water. This may limit its dispersal ability, making it particularly vulnerable to habitat fragmentation. While it can breed in secondary forest, it is less common there than in old-growth forest, even when the two are adjacent. Since Megaloprepus reduces the number of adult mosquitoes that emerge from tree holes it inhabits, and some of the species it preys on are important disease vectors, its conservation may have human health implications.[20]

Silvertip winner of the Millennium Cup
Reigning NZ Millennium Cup champion, Silvertip, was declared the winner of the 2012 NZ Millennium Cup following the late abandonment of the Yachting Developments fourth race on Saturday, February 18.
Silvertip is a high performance 33.8-metre sloop built by Yachting Developments in Auckland in 2001. She was also the first yacht to ever win both the International Superyacht Society's Best Sailing Yacht and Showboats' Best Sailing Yacht awards in her class.
The 2012 NZ Millennium Cup was held on Auckland's Waitemata Harbour and picturesque Hauraki Gulf over three days: February 16-18.
Four races were scheduled: the first for Thursday, February 16, two for Friday, February 17 and the fourth, the Yachting Developments sponsored final race on Saturday, February 18.
Although the regatta was sailed in uncharacteristic light airs, mainly gentle sea breezes, the Royal New Zealand Yacht Squadron race committee managed to complete the first three races. They also secured a start for the fourth race but were forced to call it off after three hours when the fleet sailed into a windless hole with only half of the race completed.
Despite the challenging conditions, Silvertip was a clear winner of the 2012 NZ Millennium Cup. Although she was one of the smallest yachts in the fleet, Silvertip was clearly the quickest in the light airs, winning both races on Friday and coming second in Thursday's first race. She also overtook the rest of the fleet and was leading when the Yachting Developments fourth and final race was abandoned.
The impressive 48.5-metre Georgia, which was skippered by sailing legend Chris Dickson, was second in the 2012 NZ Millennium Cup regatta.
Built by Alloy Yachts in the west Auckland suburb of Henderson, Georgia, with a TV One news crew on board, won the opening race of the regatta. She then recorded a second and a third on the second day. If Dickson had also managed to get the gun in the final race, the large sloop could have been in contention for the title of 2012 NZ Millennium Cup champion.
The 44-metre Imagine, also built by Alloy Yachts and skippered by Emirates Team NZ's Dean Barker, struggled ito get up to full speed n the light airs but still managed to finish third, with a third, a second and another third.
The NZ Millennium Cup, which was first held in Auckland in 2000 (between the Louis Vuitton Cup final and the start of the America's Cup match), will now be held annually in the City of Sails.
The regatta is organised by NZ Marine Export Group, the industry association responsible for promoting the NZ Marine industry to the world, and is designed to showcase New Zealand's impressive superyacht build and refit industry and facilities.
The NZ Millennium Cup is open to all superyachts, 30-metres LOA or more, and features a strong mix of sailing races and social events. It is the premier event for superyachts in the South Pacific with owners, crew and sponsors enjoying two informal post-race evenings and a gala prizegiving dinner.
Strongly supported by the New Zealand marine industry, the 2012 NZ Millennium Cup was generously sponsored by Platinum Sponsors: Yachting Developments; Gold Sponsors: Alloy Yachts, Integrated Marine Group and Touch of Spice; Silver Sponsors: Dubois Yachts, Events Clothing and Doyle Sails, Fitzroy Yachts and Smuggler Marine; Corporate Sponsors: Yard 37, ATEED, Waterfront Auckland; Media Partners: The Superyacht Group and Ocean Media and supported by New Zealand Trade and Enterprise.

Everyone has that favorite lipstick, the one that you've used down to the last twist and bought over and over. For me, that's MAC's Lady Danger. Personally, I think it's the most flattering red-orange out there for blondes, and if it were ever discontinued I would stage a protest. (So MAC, please don't ever let it go!) But when I purchased my very first tube, its coral red tone just looked off with my usual rosy pink blush.
I turned to Keri Blair, senior artist at MAC, to see exactly what shade I needed to complement my orange lip. "I don't think that you have to be overly matchy-matchy with your makeup," Blair told me. "Often times, I think that if you're going to use a pop of color you may want to keep the rest of your face more simple and streamlined."
As a result, I've since forayed into the bronzer-as-blush territory to let the bold red-orange hue stand out. Click through the slideshow above to see five perfect pairings to get your lipstick and blush color combo just right!

In my object oriented programming class, we learned some of the main concepts of UML and I was just wondering if UML is common in real world situations or are there more popular methods.
There are certainly organizations that rely on UML, including a few that may expect you to answer OO design questions with UML in an interview. Plus, documentation tools like Doxygen generate UML-like diagrams to describe a class hierarchy.
Beyond that though, most groups I've worked with in academia or industry don't really use it. If you want an explanation of why, read "Death by UML Fever".
Generally agree with @chrisaycock. Would add a couple of things:
You should distinguish using UML for specification versus documentation. At the peak of its hype curve, UML was touted as the former. So development processes mandated modelling in UML before moving into code. That use has diminished greatly (although there are still pockets using executable uml, notably in real-time/embedded environments).
As a documentation tool, UML is still popular. UML class diagrams, for example, can convey the structure of a module in a way that is much more revealing and intuitive than linear code can ever be. Similarly sequence- or activity diagrams are very useful for understanding flow of control for an action that transcends a number of classes.
In the documentation context UML diagrams are increasingly being generated automatically rather than being manually created, e.g. from doxygen (as @chrisaycock mentions).
However it's also still useful for sketching out designs ahead of development e.g. on a whiteboard.
I once attended a Q&A session on UML and MDA in embedded systems where the panel included authors Bruce Powell Douglass and Steven Mellor. Having previously studied and worked on RT-SSADM projects and the Ward-Mellor methodology, I challenged Stephen Mellor on why a new way of software design comes along every 10 years before practitioners have hardly gotten to grips or truly understood the last one. He responded rather too honestly perhaps with "this way I sell more books"!
To some extent therefore I suggest that the hype surrounding any particular notation or methodology is driven primarily by CASE tool vendors and publishing houses; often the authors are also employed by the tool vendors and have titles like "Chief Evangelist".
That is not to say that these tools have no value; we should all be wary of such marketing, but on the other hand we also need to communicate our ideas and designs in an unambiguous and clear manner, and using a defined notation however inelegant, will always be better than some ad-hoc "sticks and boxes" notation that has no definitive semantics. Given that need for communication, UML (and derivatives such as SysML) is currently the most widely accepted and used notation, and currently enjoys the widest tool support. It differs from much that has gone before by being defined as a standard agreed by multiple parties rather the work on a single author or CASE tool vendor, so it is likely to develop rather than disappear.
I think the article, linked by @chrisaycock, could also have corollaries e.g., "Death by Agile Fever", "Death by CMM Fever", "Death by RT-SSADM Fever", ... ;-)
As @sfinnie stated, it really depends upon the usage, but UML by itself is nothing more than a notation. In order to be really useful, you need to follow some development method. @Clifford's post not withstanding, I'd recommend a mature method. Executable UML started as Shlaer-Mellor and has been in use for 19+ years. Douglass' method (not called ROPES anymore, but ???) has been around for 11 years. The Unified Process is based on Booch, OMT, and OOSE methods, so it can be considered 19+ years old as well. Of course you might find some other UML or non-UML development method that better fits your needs.

blasterchief 5k911/26/2007 11:37:37 PM Permalinkmy favroite is "one final effort" best...song...ever!!!
Deleted User11/18/2007 7:22:54 PM Permalinkthats gonna be awesome, i have all the songs from the first one, cant wait to see what the second one is gonna be like
Deleted User11/14/2007 7:29:49 PM PermalinkThis is awesome. It beats out Halo 2's OST by a mile. Yay for Amazon's special pre-order price. BTW, will there ever be a Halo 3 cinematics equivalent to what was offered on the Legendary Bonus disc for Halo 1 and Halo 2 cinematics? That is, remastered cinematics, along with important pieces of gameplay?
NiCkELoP11/14/2007 5:47:59 PM PermalinkWow, these sample clips are just amazing! Great job Marty and Mike. The music really is awesome. Sounds better than most big movie soundtracks. Congratulations!
Jimzydoodah11/14/2007 12:05:32 PM PermalinkPre ordered! Clips are amazing, i really like "farthest outpost". Cannot wait for this, i got the 1st and 2nd soundtrack, and i was lucky enough to meet marty a couple months back.
Javinova11/14/2007 5:51:02 AM PermalinkYeah ummm Behind the Audio won't work on the website. Somebody already pointed it out on here already but I'm saying it again just to help make sure it's noticed right away. I am guessing its the same video you see on the collectors edition disk in which case I've already seen it and am not missing out. :)
InfectionForm011/14/2007 4:58:23 AM PermalinkActually Gunslinger the song titled "gravemind" is the re-make of the monk theme
Deleted User11/14/2007 12:36:07 AM PermalinkI listened to every sample and I didn't hear the monks. Are they not on this version, are they are one of the previous versions? I'd love to hear the monks from the main menu!!
Hank11/13/2007 9:54:55 PM PermalinkOh my... Wow. I must say, Marty has done an INSANELY good job with this soundtrack. I have to say, my favourite is Never Forget, One Final Effort, or Finish the Fight. Though, Behold a Pale Horse brings back SO many great memories.
Herr Zrbo11/13/2007 6:18:40 PM PermalinkThis sounds like it'll definitely be the best soundtrack so far. Every track sounds wonderful. My favorite has to be Gravemind, that has to be the absolute best rendition of the classic Halo theme yet, it seriously brings tears to my eyes when I hear it. Can't wait to pick this up on the 20th.
Skillet9811/13/2007 4:55:59 PM PermalinkThank God Marty used some of the music from Halo 1! It really helped make the game feel like a sequel where Halo 1 just seemed plain. Behold A Pale Horse instantly threw me into a portal to the Bridges of the Halo control room and for that, I thank Marty.
XMixMasterX11/13/2007 4:02:02 PM PermalinkBut, don't we already have all this music in the game?

Deleted User11/13/2007 4:39:26 AM PermalinkAfter listening to the sample of "Never Forget" it made me think of all the memories we had with HALO:CE and HALO 2... Truly i'll "Never Forget" those days...
Mars11/13/2007 4:37:59 AM Permalink*Stands up and claps* Wow. Just, wow. Great job Marty. Just listening to the preview songs gave me chills. I'll definantly buy it.
A Cruel Pun11/13/2007 4:15:46 AM PermalinkSo awesome! Makes me looking forward even more to the new podcast with sound/music clips! ...and the soundtrack on the 20th. Just in time for study music for finals... glorious!

Venture into some of the most breathtaking vistas, but do so equipped with a fine topo map.
This series of National Geographic's Trails Illustrated Arizona Rock Mountain Maps lets you select one of two maps: the Grand Canyon Bright Angel Canyon N/S Rims (covering the highest-visitation areas of the park surrounding the South Rim visitor center and the Bright Angel Trail), or a broader East/West Grand Canyon Map (including the outer reaches of the canyon). In addition to trails, campgrounds, river crossings, and points of interest, these waterproof and tear-resistant maps provide info on wilderness travel, safety, and local flora and fauna. Includes UTM grids for use with your GPS unit.
Share your thoughts
Quality map
- Familiarity:I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions
High quality topo map with many trails and features listed for the Grand Canyon. I've only used the N/S rim version of this map.
