New Evidence on Youth Smoking Behavior Based on Experimental Price Increases
Ross, Hana, Powell, Lisa M., Tauras, John A., Chaloupka, Frank J., Contemporary Economic Policy
Despite the recent declines in smoking among high school students detected by the Monitoring the Future (MTF) surveys, the 30-day prevalence rate in 2002 remains high: 10.7% for 8th-graders, 17.7% for 10th-graders, and 26.7% for 12th-graders. Cigarette smoking among adolescents is of particular concern to public policy makers. More than 2,000 American youth become addicted to tobacco each day, and one-third of these will die prematurely from smoking-related diseases (CDC, 1996). Cigarette smoking is the leading cause of preventable death and disease in the United States (U.S. Department of Health and Human Services [DHHS], 1989). Smoking accounts for the majority of lung cancer cases, and it is an important risk factor for cardiovascular disease (U.S. DHHS, 1988). In addition, a recent panel of experts concluded that smoking is even more deleterious than previously thought, for both smokers and those exposed to environmental tobacco smoke, causing cancer in many more organs of the body than previously believed (IARC, 2002). Furthermore, many youth underestimate the risk of addiction and the health consequences of smoking (Johnston et al., 2001; Kessler, 1995; U.S. DHHS, 1994).
Even though some states have implemented comprehensive tobacco strategies consistent with the guidelines recommended by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the majority of states are lagging behind. The current budget crises are causing some states to reconsider their spending on tobacco control. Given these circumstances, it is even more important to identify the most effective measures to reduce youth smoking.
It is essential to gain a better understanding of how economic factors, such as price, affect youth smoking behavior. This knowledge will facilitate the design of optimal tobacco control strategies. The Healthy People 2010 initiative set a goal to reduce the prevalence of adolescent cigarette smoking in America to 16% by 2010. Although preventing youth and young adults from initiating smoking is an extremely important approach to tobacco control, according to the 1990 Surgeon General's report (U.S. DHHS, 1990), smoking cessation represents the single most important step that smokers can take to enhance the quality and length of their lives.
Studies of youth smoking behavior suggest that many teen smokers are motivated to quit smoking. It has been estimated that 74% of occasional teen smokers and 65% of daily teen smokers have a desire to quit, although there is evidence that the success rate among those who do attempt to quit is low (Lamkin et al., 1998; Stone and Kristeller, 1992). An important conclusion of several studies of adolescent smoking is that it is essential to intervene to keep occasional smokers from becoming daily smokers. Yet many adolescents are unfamiliar with the tools or methods that support quit attempts (Balch, 1998). In addition, the majority of formal smoking cessation programs are aimed exclusively at adults. Given the cost-effectiveness of smoking cessation interventions for adults, and the large number of addicted teenagers, research on cessation programs tailored to youth should be a high priority (Cromwell et al., 1997; Warner, 1997).
The survey data used in this article provide a unique opportunity to gain insight into whether and to what extent cigarette prices motivate smoking cessation among high school students by examining the strength of the reaction to proposed price increases of various magnitudes. The data are also suitable for analysis of the compensatory behavior triggered by cigarette price changes. Improved knowledge in this area can be directly translated into public policies aimed at curbing youth smoking, such as the availability of youth cessation services and regulations directed at compensatory behavior. The study further addresses questions related to the design of optimal tax policies. Public policy makers often debate whether to enact a series of incremental tax increases or to jump directly to the target tax level. …

I would now like to turn the conference over to Ken Rizvi. Please go ahead, sir.
Ken Rizvi
Thank you, [Stephanie]. Good afternoon and thank you for joining ON Semiconductor Corporation's fourth quarter 2009 conference call. I am joined today by Keith Jackson, our President and CEO; and Donald Colvin, our CFO.
This call is being webcast on the Investor Relations section of our website at www.onsemi.com and will be available for approximately 30 days following this conference call along with our earnings release for the fourth quarter of 2009. The script for today's call is posted on our website and will be furnished via a Form 8-K filing.
Our earnings release in this presentation includes certain non-GAAP financial measures. Reconciliations of these non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable measures under GAAP are in our earnings release and posted separately on our website in the Investor Relations section.
In the upcoming quarter, we will present at the Deutsche Bank Small and Mid-Cap Conference on February 9th, Morgan Stanley Technology, Media and Telecom Conference on March 3rd and we will be hosting our Analyst Day in Scottsdale, Arizona on February 26th.
During the course of this conference call, we will make projections or other forward-looking statements regarding future events or the future financial performance of the company. The words believe, estimate, anticipate, intend, expect, plan or similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. We wish to caution that such statements are subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results or events to differ materially.
Important factors relating to our business, including factors that could cause actual results to differ from our forward-looking statements are described in our Form 10-K, Form 10-Q's and other filings with the SEC. The company assumes no obligation to update forward-looking statements to reflect actual results, change assumptions or other factors.
Now, let's hear from Donald Colvin, who will provide an overview of the fourth quarter and 2009 annual results. Donald?
Donald Colvin
Thanks Ken, and thanks to everyone who is joining us today. ON Semiconductor Corporation today announced the total revenues in the fourth quarter of 2009 were $497.1 million, an increase of approximately 5% from the third quarter of 2009.
During the fourth quarter of 2009, the company reported GAAP net income of $68 million or $0.15 per fully diluted share. The fourth quarter 2009 GAAP net income included net charges of $16.9 million, or $0.04 per fully diluted share, from special items, which are detailed and scheduled to our earnings release.
Fourth quarter 2009 non-GAAP net income was $84.9 million or $0.19 per share on a fully diluted basis. And includes stock based compensation expense. Stock based compensation expense was previously excluded in our non-GAAP net income and fourth quarter 2009 outlook. We intend to include stock based compensation expense on a go forward in our non-GAAP outlook, based upon practices of our industry peers and feedback from the analyst community.
Net income during the fourth quarter of 2009 benefited from an accrued gain on our overseas pension plans and received a recession development grants during the quarter resulting on a net benefit to income to a fully diluted share of approximately $0.03 during the fourth quarter. We do not expect to see a similar benefit in the first quarter of 2010 and therefore our operating expense guidance reflects an increase over fourth quarter 2009 levels.
We exited the fourth quarter of 2009 with cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments of approximately $571.2 million, a record high in the company's history. In addition, we exited the fourth quarter with the lowest net debt position in our history as a publicly traded company with approximately $362 million in net debt or less than one time on last 12 months adjusted EBITDA.
At the end of the fourth quarter, total days sales outstanding decreased from the third quarter by approximately three days to approximately 48 days. ON Semiconductor's total internal inventory was flat with third quarter levels on a day's basis at approximately 81 days. Included in our total inventory is approximately $2 million of inventory written-up to fair value related to our acquisitions and approximately $27 million of bridge inventory related to our announced closure of front-end manufacturing lines.
Net of the bridge inventory and inventory written up to fair value, our inventory days would have been approximately 73 days at the end of the fourth quarter. Distribution inventories were at the lowest level in the company's history exiting the fourth quarter on a week's basis at approximately eight weeks.
Cash capital expenditures during the fourth quarter were approximately $9 million, which was approximately $15 million below our initial expectations. As a result, this $15 million delta will roll into our 2010 capital expenditures plan for 2010 therefore we anticipate approximately $135 million in cash capital expenditures.

A murder suspect who managed to escape from authorities even though he was wearing leg irons is back behind bars.
Lawmen say 23-year-old Eddie Lee Ellis escaped from a jail transport in Wilson County at the Ward Boulevard and Tarboro Street area just before three Tuesday afternoon.
Ellis managed to get out of his leg irons, but was still wearing a waist chain, handcuffs and an orange jumpsuit when he took off.
Authorities say Ellis was captured less than a mile from where he got away. He was hiding under a house. Ellis has been convicted and served prison time before. He's charged with murder following a deadly shooting in 2004.

This ain't Twitter, hashtags don't work here! Using hashtags in Facebook posts may be a fun strategy for companies trying to grab the attention of consumers, however, it doesn't appear to be paying off, a new study has claimed.
The study by a social media analytics firm, Simply Measured,showed that although 20 percent of Facebook posts among top brands now include hashtags, however, there is no evidence that such tactics is influencing their engagement.
Hashtags provide users a way to group messages of similar content. Researchers show that posts using the newly introduced hashtags perform only as well as those without it, suggesting that users are not yet finding brand posts by their tags.
The study showed that visual content is by far the primary driver for engagement on Facebook. Pictures posted by top brands average more than 9,400 engagements, which includes likes, comments and shares, per post, while videos average more than 2,500, BusinessNewsDailyreported.
Researchers said when it comes to text posts, brands must walk a fine line. Analysis of more than 500 status updates from the top brands shows that the longer a status update is, the less engagement it typically receives. However, if a status update is too short less than 50 characters it may not be long enough to capture viewers' attention or provide the necessary context to drive the number of likes, shares and comments a company would like.
"For most brands, Facebook is no longer just a network; it has become the hub of their social marketing efforts and one of the most effective ways to engage with fans," said Adam Schoenfeld, CEO of the firm Simply Measured.

Buds, Flowers, Fruits: Potential, Performance, and Test Administration
In a 19261 paper, Vygotsky (chap. 3) broke with three central tenets of the psychology of his time: that IQ is immutable, that learning necessarily trails behind development, and that if children's mental functions have not matured to the extent that they are capable of learning a particular subject, then no instruction will prove useful. "Development or maturation is viewed as a precondition of learning, but never the result of it" ( 1988, p. 80). Vygotsky went on to propose a radically new approach that distinguishes between the actual developmental level of the child, and the level determined by intellectual testing.
The testing looks backward, argued Vygotsky, at development that has already been completed: This means that if children barely miss an independent solution of a problem -- for example, if they solve the problem after the teacher has initiated the solution, or after leading questions have been asked that indicate how the problem might be solved -- then the solution is not regarded as part of the child's mental development (p. 85). On the contrary, commented Vygotsky: "What children can do with the assistance of others might be in some sense even more indicative of their mental development than what they can do alone" ( 1988, p. 80).
Vygotsky then defined his central developmental construct, the zone of proximal development (the ZOPED), as the distance between the child's actual developmental level during independent problem solving, and the child's level of potential development revealed by problem solving under adult guidance or when working with more competent members of the child's own age group. This notion of "distance" at once turns the exam-____________________

Rogers: Ramstein's Crucial Role in Aeromedical Evacuation
(BA) C-17 parked on the Ramstein runway. Inside the buses were approximately 30 patients, most of whom were ambulatory cases, or "walking wounded."Hodson and a team of around 30 people, which included CASF staff and volunteers from across the base, carefully lifted the most injured servicemembers from the buses on litters and carried them up the C-17's ramp. Inside, the transport plane's cavernous cargo hold had already been converted into a flying hospital, and a specialist Aeromedical Evacuation (AE) team quickly began making the patients comfortable for the flight home to Andrews Air Force base. Overseen by the Air Force's Air Mobility Command (AMC), AE is a highly sophisticated global operation, one that has benefitted greatly from advances in mobile health care technology. Examples include a self-powered pneumatic respirator that does not need a power supply, and an Extra Corporal Membrane Oxygenator (ECMO), which can be used for pulmonary and heart bypass. Since the start of Operation Iraqi Freedom on March 19, 2003, Air Force AE personnel have conducted nearly 200,000 patient movements and flown almost 42,000 sorties. This swift transfer of patients marks a stark contrast to the Vietnam war era, according to Hodson, when injured troops would often spend long periods in hospitals far from home. "Now, if you're injured on a Friday, you're looking to be in Landstuhl by Saturday and in the U.S. by Tuesday," he said. -- Written by James Rogers at Ramstein Air Base, Germany.

karkat is stupid dumb by mr-radicals-artWatch

[dont read this] WARNING! Carry on reading! Or you will die, even if you only looked at the word warning! Once there was a little girl called Clarissa, she was ten-years-old and she lived in a mental hospital, because she killed her mom and her dad. She got so bad she went to kill all the staff in the hospital so the More-government decided that best idea was to get rid of her so they set up a special room to kill her, as humane as possible but it went wrong the machine they were using went wrong. And she sat there in agony for hours until she died. Now every week on the day of her death she returns to the person that reads this letter, on a monday night at 12:00a.m. She creeps into your room and kills you slowly, by cutting you and watching you bleed to death. Now send this to ten other pictures on this one site, and she will haunt someone else who doesn't. This isn't fake. apparently, if u copy and paste this to ten comments in the next ten minutes u will have the best day of ur life tomorrow. u will either get kissed or asked out, if u break this chain u will see a little dead girl in your room tonight. in 53 mins someone will say i love you or im sorry

Bishop Hill and Victor Witting
The Bethel Ship John Wesley and the Bishop Hill colony in Henry County, Illinois, are undoubtedly the two most colorful institutions of Swedish immigrant history in the nineteenth century. The saga of Bishop Hill and its founder, Eric Jansson, has been told in well-documented histories.1 The scope of this work does not require elaborate detail concerning it. We must, however, deal with direct and tangential relationships between the two institutions, their leaders, and followers. Each seemed destined to affect the other in several significant ways. The unfolding story will note that Swedish Methodism was, in no small measure, indebted to the Janssonists.
Eric Jansson and his followers had no practical alternative other than flight to America. The leader and members of the sect were subjected to persecution, harassment, imprisonment, and sometimes life-threatening violence. An extreme and erratic form of pietism was confronted by institutional religious intolerance.2 Official and legal proscription against religious activities apart from the established Lutheran church by the conventicle edict of 1726 would not be modified until 1860. In addition to legal restraints, the edict had fostered a cultural mindset that took many decades to change. Growing tolerance toward the läsare was noticeable, but far from general. There was some stigma attached to religious dissent for a long period.
Jansson was seen by substantial elements as egregiously provocative. Among his eccentricities were messianic pretensions, always supported by a liberal number of Biblical quotations with little or no regard to their context. His hostility

The Junge and the Restless
State Sen. Ember Reichgott Junge has always built on her ambitions carefully, one small step at a time. Her prudent ascent into the state's rarefied political altitudes has garnered the 16-year legislative vet a coveted spot among Majority Leader Roger Moe's most trusted lieutenants, and it also served her well as she worked to capture the DFL endorsement for attorney general in the race to succeed Skip Humphrey, who is stepping down to run for governor.
When Junge beat out rivals Mike Hatch and David Lillehaug and snared the endorsement on the first ballot at the party's state convention in St. Cloud last month, political handicappers assumed the September 15 DFL primary election was hers to lose. But a mere six weeks later, a chorus of whispers has arisen among many of those same pundits that Junge's painstaking political climb may be followed by a painful plummet.
A whoosh of air went out of Junge's campaign balloon on July 8, when U.S. Sen. Paul Wellstone--the DFL's highest-ranking officeholder and most influential politician--declared himself neutral in the race, opting, for the first time in his political career, not to honor the party's endorsement out of deference to his friend Lillehaug. Two days later brought more deflating news: A statewide poll commissioned by the Republican candidate, Charlie Weaver, revealed that Junge is known to only 14 percent of those who identify themselves as DFL supporters--as opposed to 54 percent name recognition for Hatch, former Minnesota commissioner of commerce, and 42 percent for Lillehaug, who recently resigned his post as U.S. attorney to enter the race.
There's also a widespread feeling among insiders that Junge has been running a lackluster campaign. "You see Lillehaug on the news hammering against the Koch refinery, and Hatch is getting plenty of ink taking on the HMOs. Meanwhile it's like Where's Waldo?--everybody's wondering, 'Where's Ember?'" says one DFL party stalwart who once worked for Junge and is now supporting Lillehaug.
"There are a lot of whispers and definitely some concern in all circles [of the party] whether Ember has done enough to solidify her support to the point she has what it will take to win," adds Blois Olson, who worked on Junge's campaign earlier in the year and still supports her candidacy. "I think the race is still salvageable for Ember. She just has to get out and get her message to the voters."
Junge took a step in that direction last Thursday when she announced her intention to create a five-member community crime-fighting tactical team within her first 100 days as attorney general. Under questioning from reporters, however, the candidate conceded that she would rely on the communities themselves to help finance the initiative through grants. She also acknowledged that the attorney general doesn't have the authority to compel judges to take their trials out of the courthouses and into libraries and other community areas, a key element of her proposal.
Junge bristles at the suggestions that her candidacy has stalled. "I have a network of over 150 elected officials speaking to their constituents on my behalf, plus endorsements from most of the labor groups, including the AFL-CIO," she says, adding that the name-recognition poll "was taken by my Republican opponent, who wants to weaken the most formidable DFL candidate, and that's me. I am very well-positioned for the primary."
In traditional political terms, that is certainly true. Junge is a female candidate who's been endorsed by her party and who is running against two white males in a race in which approximately 58 percent of likely voters are women, according to historical precedent and current projections. There is also the sample ballot bearing the names of all the party's endorsed candidates which is handed out by volunteers outside the polling places on primary day.
But the sample ballot is about the only boost Junge can rely on from her party. DFL endorsement used to guarantee a candidate a crucial edge, by supplying money and volunteers to staff phone banks and blanket precincts on election day. But not so this year. Junge and her fellow endorsees will be without the largesse of the state's three most prolific DFL contributors. Media mogul Vance Opperman told Junge to take his name off all of her literature; Opperman, a key figure in Humphrey's gubernatorial run, is remaining neutral in the attorney general race. Attorney Sam Kaplan, another top party rainmaker, has thrown his monetary might behind Lillehaug. And Mark Dayton is withholding his party contributions as he pursues his own unendorsed bid for governor.
And when it comes to volunteers, both Hatch and Lillehaug enjoy support from key constituencies within the DFL rank and file. A highly popular and successful party chairman in the early 1980s, Hatch retained the loyalty of many DFL precinct and district officials, especially around his native Duluth and in rural Minnesota. As one Lillehaug supporter puts it, "There are senior citizens and old-time party guys out there who will vote for Hatch until the day they die."
Lillehaug, meanwhile, figures to snare many of the Wellstone loyalists who re-invigorated the party's cadre of grassroots organizers during the Senate races of 1990 and 1996--Lillehaug was one of them in 1990. In addition to having fundraiser Kaplan in his corner, Lillehaug also has the support of high-profile Wellstone allies Jim McCorkell (a former deputy fundraiser for Wellstone who now serves as Lillehaug's campaign manager) and former Wellstone campaign manager Jeff Blodgett. In fact, so confident is Lillehaug that he's already hinting that Wellstonians employed by the party will be less than enthusiastic on behalf of Junge. "I don't want to get anybody in any trouble--people are obviously going to do their jobs," the candidate says coyly. "But let's just say that I'm comfortable that I will have some support among those within the structure of the party."
Nor does the crowded field of DFL candidates for governor appear to work in Junge's favor. Not only are the top fundraisers supporting unendorsed challengers rather than amassing contributions on behalf of the DFL, but the scramble for governor has also rendered another powerful party tool, the phone bank, largely impotent.
"You begin with these huge lists of names," explains Hatch, who served as party chair from 1980 to 1982. "When you've got four or five credible candidates, the percentage you can identify as positive supporters is very low, and that's very time-consuming and hard on the morale of the people making the calls. Now, if you coordinate that with two or three credible candidates for attorney general, it is almost impossible to come up with enough of a base to be very effective."
In other words: How hard does the party solicit the vote of a person who is leaning toward Junge but away from Mike Freeman, the DFL endorsee for governor? What about a Freeman supporter who also plans to vote for Hatch or Lillehaug?
Freeman campaign manager Jon Youngdahl, who has had volunteers working the phones since a week after the convention, says Freeman and Junge will decide sometime this week whether to attempt to coordinate a phone-bank effort. He adds that any cooperative phoning would concentrate on identifying voter preferences as opposed to trying to persuade voters, which would remain the responsibility of the individual campaigns.
Lillehaug speaks of being "in a perfect position to win the primary," and says he considers Hatch his main competitor. Hatch, not surprisingly, disagrees with his opponent's assessment but goes on to say that he isn't about to underestimate Junge as an opponent. "The reality is that the only people paying attention to the campaign right now are insiders who are busy talking to other insiders. Most of the voters don't care, and won't care until about three or four weeks before the primary. If Ember ignores all the advice I'm sure she is getting and reflects on why she got into this in the first place--because believe me, none of us are in this for the money--if she can get back to what it is she cares about and articulates that to the voters, then she'll be all right. She certainly is a serious candidate."
And no matter who wins, the contest is already proving too close--and too expensive--for any of the DFL candidates' comfort. Because one thing is certain: When the primary votes are tallied, well-rested and well-funded Republican favorite Charlie Weaver will be waiting for the worn-out and financially depleted victor.

Man oh man, I love me a Reuben. There's just something about the combination of the salty meat, tangy kraut, melty Swiss, and goopy Russian dressing on rye that speaks to me. (Probably whispering "Don't forget to pop a post-meal Tums.")
Photo by Leslie Kelly TASTE's Reuben is a meaty work of art.
I usually hate it when kitchens mess with the classic combo, but a new entry on the lunch menu at TASTE sounded intriguing.
The sandwich starts with excellent rye bread from Columbia City Bakery, followed by Niman Ranch pastrami, red cabbage braised in apple-cider vinegar and a bit of brown sugar, then finished with a glorious cave-aged Gruyere. It was actually that lovely Swiss cheese that inspired chef Craig Hetherington to create the sandwich in the first place.The deal was sealed when I spotted the name of said sandwich on the menu. It's called The Reubenesque. Which you surely would be if you ate too many of 'em, especially because they come with a side of fries, which just might be my favorite frites in Seattle. But you better try them and decide for yourself.

President-elect Barack Obama's creation of a chief performance officer probably in the White House means he's serious about pushing agencies to perform better, be accountable and transparent, and deliver significant results, say experts in federal management.
His choice of Nancy Killefer to be the first person to hold the position only amplifies that commitment.
Obama also indicated that program performance would be linked with budget reform as he warned of the possibility of trillion-dollar deficits for years to come.
Killefer, a senior director at McKinsey and Co., will help scour the federal budget line by line, "eliminating what we don't need or what doesn't work, and improving the things that do," Obama said in announcing his choice.
He also intends to nominate her as the Office of Management and Budget's deputy director for management.
Killefer is well known in management circles. Mark Forman, who was the first administrator for e-government and information technology at OMB, spoke highly of Obama's decision.
"She knows the management issues of the government, and she knows how to make very positive change," said Forman, now a principal at KPMG.
"Agencies should be prepared to understand if there are performance gaps … they're going to be held accountable." Forman said agencies should expect Killefer to require them to develop plans to address deficiencies and provide details about how they will change to fill in their gaps, he said.
Killefer's track record spans government and the private sector. She served in three high-level positions — assistant secretary for management, chief financial officer and chief operating officer — in the Clinton administration's Treasury Department.
She also led technology modernization efforts at the Internal Revenue Service and prepared Treasury's computer systems for the Year 2000.
The CPO would lead a team to set ambitious performance targets and hold managers accountable for progress. However, Obama has not yet spelled out all the details of the position.
There will be some challenges in implementing Obama's plans, Forman said.
The White House usually deals with agency leadership, but program managers are more directly involved in the performance and budget of individual programs, he said.
If Obama succeeds in making Killefer both CPO and OMB's deputy director for management, she will have legal authority to tighten the link between program performance improvement and the budget, he said.
The idea of special teams is not new, said Jonathan Breul, executive director of the IBM Center for the Business of Government and a former senior adviser to OMB's deputy director for management. They have been used in the past to solve problems in student loan programs and Medicaid fraud.
"Basically, where agencies had paralysis or an inability to deal with a problem, they brought in the brains and levers to get it done," he said.
Breul interacted with Killefer during the lead-up to the Y2K changeover, when he was at OMB and she was at Treasury. Based on her performance then, he said, she is a fabulous choice for the CPO position.
Forman said he believes the Obama administration will build on the progress that agencies have made under the Bush administration's management initiatives, including using the Program Assessment Rating Tool, in which agency managers evaluate the program based on certain measures.
He anticipates that the new administration will augment the PART process.
"What we could see [under Obama] is a much more qualitative or objective assessment based on real data," Forman said.
Bob Behn, a lecturer at Harvard University's Kennedy School of Government, said agencies must also attack performance gaps at lower levels of management. Agencies need to invest more in middle managers through training and mentoring because they must motivate their line staff to accomplish the strategies to improve performance.
"It's not just helping to get measures right but getting motivation right," Behn said.
"What is really needed is performance leadership. And that responsibility — to motivate their organization to produce results — is not a staff function," he said.

Limiting the impact of open source policy to a time- and scope-constrained pilot forgoes a unique and long-needed opportunity to modernize government, argues a leading open source advocate.

I have been using this for a couple of months now, and have just purchased some more when it was on special.. It is very natural, so doesn't smell wonderful, although not awful, but my skin is loving it! I have combination skin so it can be hard to find something that my skin responds well to, and this definately fits the bill!
The ingredients are good but smell is like dirty socks. I would not buy this lotion at the total price.
My skin loves it!

Poco eficaz
Posted by Elisabb on Apr 01, 2013
La llevo aplicando a diario, como crema de día, durante más de dos meses, y, no es una mala crema, pero no noto que me haga nada más que hidratar. No deja sensación grasa ya que es muy fluida. La compre cuando estaba de oferta y no me arrepiento, pero no la compraría con su precio normal.

This moisturizes well and is also healing. No chemicals! I have given up on Lancôme and others with long lists of harmful chemicals and feared I would look old suddenly, but no. By using non-harmful lotions like this, I actually look much better than before. I also use a hyaluronic serum first, applies on a wet face, then this lotion.

China's Sinopec acquires Canada's Daylight Energy
China's Petrochemical Corp., also known as the Sinopec Group, has agreed to buy Canadian oil and gas explorer Daylight Energy for $ 2.1 bn.
The Sinopec purchase is only the latest of recent Chinese investments in Canada's booming energy industry.
Two months ago China National Offshore Oil Corporation (CNOOC), China's dominant offshore oil producer, agreed to acquire bankrupt oil producer Calgary, Alberta-based company OPTI Canada for $ 2.1 bn.
Last year Sinopec Group paid ConocoPhillips $ 4.65 bn for a 9.03 % share stake in Canada's Syncrude oil fields.
Daylight Energy chief executive Anthony Lambert commented that the Sinopec Group offer "recognizes the highly attractive asset portfolio and exceptional terms we have assembled at Daylight".
In 2010 Daylight Energy's proven and probable reserves rose 46 % to 174 mm barrels of oil, 70 % of which is natural gas.
The Sinopec Group-Daylight Energy deal, which has been approved by Daylight's board, must still be approved by Daylight shareholders and the Chinese and Canadian governments.
Daylight Energy went public on the Toronto Stock exchange in 2004. The Sinopec Group purchase will give the company the right to explore and develop 30,000 acres of Canadian oil and natural gas concessions.

Comments about Gibraltar Ball Arm L-Rod Mount:
I respectfully disagree with the reviewer who gave these mounts a one-star rating. I am currently using these L-Rod mounts on a Gretsch Renown Maple with a Gibraltar rack. Because of the ball feature, these mounts are very versatile. They are functional for essentially any type of configuration you are hoping to achieve. I am very picky about my setup and I know my preferences when it comes to my kit, given I have been playing with the same configuration for over two decades. I like things just right. Even the smallest adjustments are possible because of the ball feature. I recommend these without hesitation based on the freedom they give you in regard to your setup.
Comments about Gibraltar Ball Arm L-Rod Mount:
[I disagree with a previous reviewer] I mounted 3 gretsch renown maple toms on a gilbralter rack and they are solid. Positioning was no problem and they stay put. The ball gives my precise placing of my toms. I couldn't be any happier with them. They do what they clam and do it well.
Comments about Gibraltar Ball Arm L-Rod Mount:
This mount sucks on so many levels. The tube isn't long enough to get your tom where you want it and that p.o.s. ball doesn't allow you to position it where you

Type: Improvement
Status: Open
Priority: Major
Resolution: Unresolved
Affects Version/s: None
Fix Version/s: None
Component/s: core/index
Lucene Fields:New
Now that we track the code version that created the segment at the segment level, we can stop tracking versions in each file. This has several major benefits:
- Today the constant names that use to track versions are confusing - they do not state since which version it applies to, and so it's harder to determine which formats we can stop supporting when working on the next major release.
- Those format numbers are usually negative, but in some cases positive (inconsistency) – we need to remember to increase it "one down" for the negative ones, which I always find confusing.
- It will remove the format tracking from all the *Writers, and the *Reader will receive the code format (String) and work w/ the appropriate constant (e.g. Constants.LUCENE_30). Centralizing version tracking to SegmentInfo is an advantage IMO.
It's not urgent that we do it for 3.1 (though it requires an index format change), because starting from 3.1 all segments track their version number anyway (or migrated to track it), so we can safely release it in follow-on 3x release.

On this thread (http://lucene.markmail.org/thread/2puabohgbkgtbq7o) we discussed the option of using Version in SI.getVersion(), and then we'll be able to easily compare segment versions. Also, after we do this, StringHelper.versionComparator can be deleted.
bulk move 3.2 -> 3.3
3.6 pruning: can we push this out to 4.0?
Removing 3.6 version. Since this requires an index format change, I think that it'd be good if we can resolve it by 4.0 Alpha.

Sabres head home leading Sens 2-0
OTTAWA (AP)—Ryan Miller proved again he deserves to be Buffalo's No. 1 goalie. And now he and the Sabres are heading home with a big lead over the Ottawa Senators.
Miller made 43 saves, and J.P. Dumont and Jochen Hecht scored goals 2:27 apart in the second period to lead the Sabres to a 2-1 win over the Senators on Monday night.
Buffalo won twice in Ottawa to grab a 2-0 lead in the best-of-seven Eastern Conference semifinal series despite being outshot 17-4 in the second, 15-4 in the third, and 44-17 overall.
"It was a huge night for Ryan Miller," Sabres co-captain Chris Drury said. "We hung in there at the end. It felt like we were in our zone the whole third period, but we battled and we got an important win."
Miller, who has started each of the Sabres' eight playoff games, rebounded from allowing six goals on 33 shots Friday. He won his fourth straight game, improving to 6-2 overall.
"We hung tough," Sabres coach Lindy Ruff said. "Nobody likes to be questioned, and I think there were questions being asked after Games 3 and 4 in Philly, and I though he responded really well. Tonight was just a solid performance by him and that's what he's given us most of the year."
Dumont scored his fifth of the playoffs 3:33 into the second and Hecht added a breakaway goal moments later in his return to the lineup after missing three games, including Friday's wild 7-6 overtime win in Game 1.
Chris Phillips netted the only goal for the top-seeded Senators, who have dropped eight straight playoff games to the Sabres, dating to 1997.
The Senators scored an NHL-high 314 goals this season but it isn't helping so far against Buffalo, which has won three straight road postseason games after losing two in Philadelphia during the first round.
Jason Spezza came close to tying it on a breakaway with 2:38 left.
"I was on the bench and I put my head down, to be honest," Sabres defenseman Jay McKee said. "I was hoping I didn't hear the horn go off or the fans cheering."
The Senators center put the puck between Miller's legs but it struck the goalie's left pad and stopped just short of crossing the goal line as defenseman Henrik Tallinder reached back to help cover up.
"I just felt it graze my right pad, and as I went back to the left, it was the old Curtis Joseph thing, you kind of hook your pad around and if it's going to sneak in that far corner, you can get a piece of it," Miller said. "It was pretty lucky."
After Ottawa failed to score on a last-ditch flurry during a power play, the sellout crowd showed its displeasure by popping Thunderstix when the final horn sounded. It creating a symphony of explosions throughout the quickly emptying arena as Buffalo celebrated its second one-goal win in the series.
Rookie Ray Emery made 15 saves as the Senators limited Buffalo's shots for the second straight game.
"We battled hard," Emery said. "We got a lot of shots, a lot of chances, sometimes they just don't get in there. I want to win for the team. I want to do my part and it's definitely disappointing when the other guys are playing well, and they bury their chances."
Emery was beaten for all seven goals in Game 1 despite facing 23 shots.
"That's hockey. The kid played great in goal for them, our guy played really well," Senators coach Bryan Murray said. "They found a way to get the two goals. I thought we played a really good game overall. A giveaway and a 2-on-1, and they capitalized on their opportunities. They didn't get many chances in the game overall, and we couldn't find a way to score."
Game 3 will be Wednesday in Buffalo.
Ottawa outshot Buffalo 12-9 through a scoreless first period that saw the Sabres lose Tim Connolly in the first minute.
Connolly was leveled by a clean, open-ice check from Senators forward Peter Schaefer. Leading with his left shoulder, Schaefer drove into the Sabres center, who had his head down as he was turning right while carrying the puck through the neutral zone toward Ottawa's blue line. The hit knocked Connolly flat to the ice and play was stopped at 58 seconds.
Connolly, who missed the entire 2003-04 season due to post-concussion syndrome, laid on his back while Schaefer hobbled around, trying to shake off the effects of the solid collision.
Schaefer remained in the game but Connolly was helped off the ice. The Sabres said he had an upper body injury, but he might be back Wednesday.
"We anticipate him playing," Ruff said. "He feels pretty good right now."
Dumont opened the scoring with his fifth goal of the playoffs 3:33 into the second. Sabres co-captain Daniel Briere, who missed both weekend practices with an illness, deked Emery to the ice on a 2-on-1 before passing to Dumont. He shot the puck into a wide-open net.
Hecht scored his first playoff goal when he stripped the puck from Phillips and put it through Emery's pads on a breakaway at 6:00 to put the Sabres up 2-0.
"I kind of figured he was going to the half wall, I got a good bounce out of it—straightforward—so I just skated to the puck and was able to get by him," Hecht said.
He had been sidelined by an upper body injury since April 28 after he exchanged checks with Philadelphia's Peter Forsberg during Game 4 of the Sabres' first-round win.
Senators defenseman Anton Volchenkov had to be helped off the ice 5:11 into the third when his head hit the boards after he checked Buffalo's Paul Gaustad in front of Ottawa's bench. The players appeared to make contact with their heads during the initial collision. Gaustad went off but later returned.
There is no off day between Games 3 and 4 in Buffalo. … Connolly scored twice Friday, including the tying goal with 10.7 seconds remaining in regulation. He had five goals and six assists in Buffalo's first seven playoff games. … Senators D Brian Pothier returned to the lineup.

The Eagle River flag football team wrapped up the regular season with a win Thursday on what turned out to be homecoming night for senior Jessica Moore.
Moore was surprised before the game by the appearance of her dad, Cedric Moore, a paratrooper who returned from Afghanistan just in time to see Moore help her team to a 26-7 Cook Inlet Conference win over South at Anchorage Football Stadium.
"It was a complete surprise," said coach Matt Turner, who got a call from Jessica's mom on Wednesday but had to keep the news to himself in case Cedric's return was delayed.
Ten minutes before kickoff, Dad arrived.
"We were warming up and she was over at the fence giving him a hug," Turner said.
South took a quick 7-0 lead but Eagle River came back behind a defense that featured three interceptions (two by Scout Warners and one by Skylar Metzel) and an offense spearheaded by Lauren Frost.
Frost responded swiftly after South scored by firing a 70-yard TD strike to Gaby Mordini. She added 20-yard passes to Skylar Metzel and Moore.
When Moore scored, she blew a kiss to her dad in the stands, Turner said.
Service 14, Chugiak 0
Stephanie Compton threw two second-half touchdowns Saturday to spark Service's 14-0 CIC flag football victory over visiting Eagle River.
After a scoreless first half, the Cougars scored once in the third quarter and once in the fourth quarter. Compson hit Zoe Bailey with a 20-yard -pass and connected with Kerianne Hansen on a 65-yarder.
Contributing to the shutout were Keaira Caldarera (eight pulls), Bailey (two interceptions) and Shannon Wilson (one interception).
Dimond 21, Bartlett 7
Tara Thompson scored a rushing touchdown, caught a pass for a touchdown and intercepted two passes Thursday afternoon to propel Dimond to a 21-7 victory over Bartlett that secured an undefeated regular season for the Lynx in Cook Inlet Conference flag football.
Thompson rushed 17 times for 131 yards and opened the scoring in the first half at Tom Huffer Sr. Stadium in Chugiak with a 3-yard run to give the Lynx (14-0) a 6-0 lead. Bartlett countered with a touchdown pass and conversion to take a 7-6 lead.
With just 5.2 seconds left in the first half, Dimond called a double-reverse pass and Whitney Jackson hit Thompson with a 35-yard scoring pass. Thompson's conversion pass to Brittany Bagsby earned Dimond a 14-7 lead.
Dimond's Vanessa Tufaga, who rushed seven times for 40 yards, scored on a 4-yard run in the fourth quarter.
Haley Martin led Dimond's defense with 10 pulls and Tufaga added six.
Dimond and Bartlett (2-12) meet again Tuesday in the first round of the playoffs.
South 3, Eagle River 0
Sophomore setter Kayla Simms stepped in for injured Morgan Hooe to orchestrate South's 25-17, 25-19, 25-19 sweep of Eagle River in a CIC match at South.
Hooe, the senior leader for the powerful Wolverines, sat out with her right hand in a cast. Coach Judy Knecht said the injury will be reevaluated in two weeks.
"We're kinda regrouping right now," she said.
West 3, East 2
West survived a fifth-set rally by Eagle River to pull out a dramatic 19-25, 25-14, 20-25, 25-17, 15-13 CIC volleyball win Thursday at West.
The Eagles built a big lead in the fifth set only to see Eagle River storm back make it close at the end.
West got eight kills apiece from Rebecca Jones, Rita Dexter and Nya Carter, who added nine digs. Nicole Meyers racked up 50 assists.
For East, Mafi Makihele's 30 assists and Shantal Tamanaha's 17 assists ran an offense featuring Taria Page (10 kills), Nadia Frank-Macon (nine kills) and Sidney Smith (eight kills). Lauren Lauruhn led the defense with 13 digs.
Colony 3, Kenai 0
Allison Leigh banged 18 kills Thursday night and Maryann Zmuda delivered 17 assists to lead Colony to a sweep of Kenai in high school volleyball.
Colony won 25-17, 25-9, 25-15.
