Postcards stamped "unclaimed property notification" are fraudulent and should be ignored, according to Delaware State Escheator David Gregor.
The postcards instruct receivers to call a toll-free number and enter personal identification information. A message then tells the caller to search for unclaimed property at unclaimed.org.
The postcards, postmarked from Denver, may be green, blue, yellow or orange, and appear to be from a debt collector.

After a fight with her fiance, Gloria threw her engagement ring on the tracks in a fit of rage, the last and biggest mistake of her life. When she ran to pick it up...
Storyteller, Nannette Watts starts her SLC Ghost Tour with the story of the Gloria, the Purple Lady, who haunts the Rio Grande Cafe. The business was once part of the Denver & Rio Grande Railroad Station, a rival to Union Pacific.
"After she was hit, she probably ran where most girls run when they're upset," Watts says. Now, employees say they see her in the Rio Grande Cafe's bathroom. Sobbing, always in purple.
The bathroom the Purple Lady is said to haunt.
Story Tours started their ninth season last weekend, driving ghost enthusiasts to SLC and Ogden's best haunts—storytellers tell the ghostly history along the way.
Kristen Clay started the ghost tours after she moved to Utah from Hawaii, where she ran a similar business. "When she came here, she'd drive me around, pointing out all the places that she thought were haunted," said Becky Nalder, tour ticket seller.
The Story Tours group has a subtle set up, just a sign-up table with T-shirts and candy behind the Rio Grande. A rented out Le Bus awaits passengers.
"People come up to us all the time and ask if the bus is going to Wendover," Nalder says. "But really we have two tours that go through Salt Lake. So, you'll probably hear about different stuff in each one."
Storytellers gather for a photo behind the Rio Grande.
Watts, who was my tour guide, is incredibly knowledgeable and engages the audience in her tours. It was a pleasure to ride on her bus, even though the driver did zoom by some hot spots when she told him to slow down.
She tells the story of one time she talked about the Purple Lady and made the entire bus gasp. Passengers saw a lady, dressed in purple, washing her hands through the Rio Grande bathroom window.
My interview with storytellers Nannette Watts and Cassie Howard.
"We've also had experiences on the buses where the lights flicker, and obviously nobody is touching the switch," she says. But storytellers agree, the best moments are when the passengers find out what they once experienced might have been a ghost-an "Oh-I-saw-that-happen" moment.
"I just love the personality of the ghosts. Charlie is one of our favorite at the Masonic Temple, because he's just a friendly ghost," says storyteller Cassie Howard. "But Clem at Fort Douglas, he's a teasing ghost"he just likes to play with people."
Passengers investigating the Fort Douglas Museum.
Tours don't go into the buildings they cover, but point them out and tell stories of suicides, murders, accidents and souls that seem trapped for an unknown reason. Guests can stretch their legs and search for ghosts at the Fort Douglas and the Salt Lake Cemetery, where the guides explain the stories of Emo's Grave and Lilly Gray's tombstone, which reads "Mark of the best 666."
Tours run Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays at $15 for adults and $12 for students and seniors. All prices go up $3 on Friday and Saturday. Bring a can of food and get $1 off your ticket price. Tours run two hours. Story Tours is planning a walking tour through Ogden later this month. Visit stoytours.com for more info.
Some of the Ghosts:
Richard (George) at the Capitol Theatr- Richard Duffin smelled smoke in the theatre, so he rushed everyone out of the building, but died from inhalation. Now, actors hear his whispers before each show.
Nuns at Salt Lake Regional Medical Center-Catholic nuns haven't been employed at the hospital for a long time, but they still visit make ghostly visits to patients in rooms 117 and 118, fluffing pillows and passing out aspirin.
Emo's Grave at Salt Lake City Cemetery - No, he wasn't a devil worshiper like you heard from the girls at your U sorority. Jacob "Emo" Mortiz was actually a devout Jewish politician, but his ghost activities were never really noticed until his rival, Simon Bamberger, was buried near his remains.

Have made this several times and it is always delicious and filling. I don't use onion, so I add an extra can of black beans and I sometimes add some chili powder. Otherwise I make exactly as the recipe states.
Chilaquiles Casserole
From EatingWell: June/July 2006
Our version of this enchilada-style chilaquiles casserole is packed with nutritious beans and vegetables. Canned prepared enchilada sauce has great flavor and keeps the prep time quick. It can vary in heat level so find one that suits your taste. If you want to eliminate the heat altogether, try a green enchilada sauce (which is often milder than red) or substitute two 8-ounce cans of plain tomato sauce.

Have made this several times and it is always delicious and filling. I don't use onion, so I add an extra can of black beans and I sometimes add some chili powder. Otherwise I make exactly as the recipe states.
We left out the zucchini squash it is too watery and tasteless. Rather than the canned tomatoes we used about 8 chopped roma tomatoes and we used leeks rather than onions. We used Lentils and left out the beans. I only had Swiss Cheese so it was used and tasted great. We used the whole wheat tortillas and crumbled Frito's on top of the cheese topping. Easy.
We added Tuna for the protein and they were really good.
just like the ones you get in Mexico City. We also used a lot of parsley on the top for great color.
Served with alot of quac.
Never heard of this type of food until now. Thought I would give it a whirl. Made the baisic recipe but added
ground sirlon for the meat. We don't like beans so left them out. Used the frozen corn and lima bean mix to be authentic. I used Velveta Cheese everyone loves it. We tried the sauces and used the red and had the green on the side. I made some nice Angel Hair pasta for the side dish which was very good with the sauces and velveta.
As a California native it tasted very authentic to us. We also had a very nice Anti-Pasto with it rather than a salad.
We all loved it.
I've made this many times, but I never used 19oz can of enchilada sauce because it wasn't available. I had that size this time, and it was a huge mistake! The casserole was much too soupy. The smaller sized can of sauce seems sufficient.
It is a great casserole! Delicious for breakfast with an egg on top. I think adding cilantro would be nice!

Review: Faber Castell Albrecht Durer Watercolor Pencils
Since I love to paint with watercolors it was only a matter of time that I tried working with watercolor pencils. I actually bought a small set of Derwent Inktense pencils a while back, but they are permanent once dry and do not work the same as a regular WC pencil. They will be discussed in a future blog post.
Though slightly more expensive than other brands, I decided to go with the Albrecht Durer pencils after Cathy Johnson gave them the thumbs up. I wanted pencils that would be smooth to work with, would lay down a high concentration of pigment, and also blend well with each other.
Seeing that I could purchase individual pencils at roughly the same cost of a set, I chose the above colors on a recent trip to Blick. Since most all of my work is abstract, I picked what I felt were the brightest and most fun colors they had to offer. Once home, I did the obligatory color chart. I found the pencils to be just what I wanted - smooth and vibrant.
The color chart is important because the dry pencil marks look very different once you add water. They go down very dark, get super vibrant when wet, and dry lighter than you might expect. I understand this is typical of watercolor pencils.
Kandinsky inspired pencil testing. Multiple colors drawn in circles to see how well the colors blended. I'm happy with the results.
I then moved on and played around with attempting to mix specific colors. Seemed to work quite well.
I then jumped in and decided to color in this mandala. And that's just what I did. I completely colored it in and then I carefully painted water over it with a Niji Waterbrush. It ended up a little sloppy because you can't really allow one section to touch another while wet or they will run together. I also found that it's really not necessary to completely fill a section in with color - it's overkill. A few strokes will suffice, and you can always go back and add more later.
On this next piece, I used less pencil. I would draw a few lines with the pencil and then pull out the color with the waterbrush. If I wanted to darken an area, I'd add more pencil once an area was dry then re-wet.
An experiment in blending. Scribbled multi-colored lines were laid down first, and then I applied water. Black marker was added last.
This piece was drawn with the pencils, water was applied, then the marker.
And lastly, this was probably my favorite technique of all - picking up color from the tip of the pencil with the waterbrush and then painting with it. That makes for some extremely portable painting supplies - just a few pencils, a waterbrush and a paper towel to wipe the tip of the brush. Splendid!
I am quite happy with this purchase and would recommend these pencils to anyone. A set of 24 runs about $40 and you can buy them at Blick. They can also be purchased as open stock to test a few at a time or to build your own palette the way I did.
A cold pressed Clairefontaine Watercolor Pad was used for each of these examples. Your results will vary depending on the type of paper used.

Very nice review and color samples. They are also my favorite watercolor pencils for their smooth laydown and saturated washes. After a quick check of online retailers, you might find that the lowest price ($154.43) for the full set of 120 watercolor pencils is currently listed under the Drawing category of www.pearlpaint.com and the set of 24 is listed for $30.88. For a very compact version of similar quality pencils, you might want to check Jet Pens clearance section for the Uni Watercolor pencils set of 12 pencils that also include a waterbrush, pencil extender, and sharpener for $12.

Oh, thank you. I used to have Bruynzeel watercolor pencils, but I lost them a long time ago. Then this year I decided to see if I could find a new set, only to discover Bruynzeel got sold to Sakura! Since then I'd been eying these, but I was hesitating. I'll probably get them now. Hurrah!

The reason that the inktense is permanent ater it had dried is because derwent intended it to be like ink but can be used like watercolor. Hints the name "INKtense"

I just bought about 4 colors to try out. Already I love them and want to get a full set. They remind me of the Prismacolors but without all the flakes and + nice watercolor. i also like that it doesn't take much water to activate them.

Wonka has been cooking up some new things in that crazy candy factory of his. There's several new candies on the market, following in the footsteps of the Sluggles and Puckerroom candies that came out last year. The first set of these newcomers are new chocolates! Horray! So when I was contacted by Nestle for free samples to give them a try, I was super excited. Wonka has been up to fun stuff lately, and I can't wait to taste them.
First thing's first. I adore the new packaging! They're bright and colorful and really convey the wackiness that is Willy Wonka. The curly design and the mismatches fonts really give a fun feel to these bars of chocolate. You cannot help but let them catch your eye on the shelves.
Scrumdiddlyumptious: What a fun name! The bar smells chocolatey and creamy with a hint of nuts. You can easily see that the chocolate is generously studded with nuts and toffee bits. The flavor is complex with lots of sweets things. Bits of peanuts and toffee you can taste right in the forefront, the toffee is buttery and intense and the peants are fresh and salty. The chooclate is milky and sweet, and takes the backstage to the additions. Overall,y the effect is very sweet, with a salty edge. chocolate texture is creamy, and the peanuts and toffee are wonderfully crunchy. it'sl ike a much crunchier Krackle or Crunch bar. the texture here is really fu
Chocolate Waterfall:Milk and White Chocolate swirled, and the bar is gorgeous to look at. The white chocolate swirls are deliberate and very well defined, and the pattern is really pretty. The chocolate smells sweet, with no hints of chocolate scent. The first bite is very sweet, heavy notes of cream and sugar, with almost a light yogurty flavor to it. My second bite was the same, and I let the chocolate melt in my mouth more slowly so I could try and detect the milk chocolate flavor. Sadly, it's very mild, so if you really like creamy, sweet chocolate without a big chocolate hit, this bar is great for you. It's like a mix of white chocolate and milk chocolate, (well, duh) as the flavor really sits between those two classifications. It's great with a cup of coffee.
Chocolate Dome: A dark chocolate base with a milk chocolate dome in the center. it smells dark and fruity. the dark chocolate is extremely smooth and cremy, there's no acidity to it at all, and it melts nicely on the mouth with little frutiness to it. The milk chocolate has a nice coconutty flavor to it, and sweetenes the dark chocolate nicely, balancing out all the creamy flavors. there's no way to really separate the dome from the base, so you have to eat them together and enjoy the flavor as the two chocolate mix. it's very nice.
Overall, a really excellent effort on Wonka's part for trying to make something unique and wacky feeling while keeping the candy familiar and tasty. Certainly worth trying.

ZF-7583: Zend_Date::isDate accepts invalid dates
isDate('1111',NULL,'de_DE'): true isDate('11',NULL,'de_DE'): false
isDate('1111','dd.MM.yyyy','de_DE'): true isDate('11','dd.MM.yyyy','de_DE'): false
how can 1111 be TRUE (which is wrong, couse its not in the specified format) and then again 11 is false ?
1111 is recognised as 1.1.11 -> 01. Jan.2011 and therefor true
Thomas, for what can i specify a format if it doesnt matter. Sorry for me this makes no sense. Maybe its ok for isDate alone, but Zend_Form_Validator_Date uses isDate for validation, and in this case this is pointless.
btw. 111 is true too, what would this be ? 01.01.0001 | 1901 | 2001 ? :-)
I did not say that this behaviour is correct nor did I close the issue. Actually seperators are not detected.
Regarding 111, this depends on the used format.
ddMMYY will recognise it as 01.Jan.2001 ddMMYYYY will recognise it as 01.Jan0001
sorry if my wording came out a bit rude :)
just to be sure i understand it correctly:
shouldnt a format of ddMM imply a string length of 4 ?
eg. ddMM == 0108 (01.08. ) ddMM != 108 (1.08)
couse if not 112 could mean 1.12 or 11.2
the convertPhpToIsoFormat is used, which "normalize" the format string ddMM stays untouched but dM would be transformed to ddMMM and know it comes jM would be dMMM
the example with 112: dM == ddMMM 11.2 ddM == ddMMM 11.2 jM == dMMM 1.12
so as i see it, the code takes the format right. if dd the day "must" have a strlen of 2, if j the day "must" have a strlen of 1
but maybe i missunderstand the whole class , would be probably better I go to bed :)
No, MM could also be the localized month representation (f.e. Jan). The convertPhpToIso method is not called except you explicitly set the GNU format manually which you did not according to the given format examples.
d does not mean strlen 1, as it is not the date as string but it's the format. d as defined by ISO means a day representation with MINIMUM one digit. This means "1" is acceptable as also "01" or "10
But this has no information for the issue nor does it add any benefit for it.
I can't see what use the isDate function has. Thomas Weidner said on 23/Feb/09 02:48 PM in relation to ZF-5869 that "Leading and following parts are stripped". The above post alludes that virtually arbritrary numbers are recognised as dates (eg 1111 is recognised as 1.1.11 -> 01. Jan.2011).
So, isDate returns true for the string "Yesterday, I ate 1111 hamburgers"??
isDate conveniently strips the last "9" from 20090199 to produce 09.Jan.2009??
That defeats the purpose of checking a date!!
{quote}1111 is recognised as 1.1.11 -> 01. Jan.2011 and therefor true{quote}
And therefore this is a bug: 1111 is not a date, if it's recognized as such, it's wrong. (reference http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Calendar_date and http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kalenderdatum ). My birthday is on AHEQ316; now it's for Zend_Date to recognize it the way I meant...
Is there any solution planned for this? The issue is almost a year (!) old.
If not this issue would already have been closed as won't fix.
The problem isn't just with dates. Invalid times also pass validation.
Zend_Date::isDate('10.45', 'HH:mm'); //true Zend_Date::isDate('1:1', 'HH:mm'); //true Zend_Date::isDate('1045', 'HH:mm'); //true Zend_Date::isDate('1000000045', 'HH:mm'); //true
I just had a situation where a time was entered as per the first example, which then got saved to the database as 00:00:10 (MySQL interprets 10.45 as 10.45 seconds).
On further inspection, it seems to me that the problem is with Zend_Locale_Format::getDate(), and not with Zend_Date per se.
Shouldn't fix_date being set to false prevent this from validating?
I'm having the same issue and in my oppinion this is a real problem because isDate makes no sense for me though.
My Example:
Zend_Date::isDate('0811', 'dd.MM.YYYY'); //Returns true, but false would be correct!
I'm sure that Zend_Date's validation problems will be solved in ZF2, but in the meanwhile I did a validator which solves the problems addressed here. Feel free to use it, Kblom_Validate_Datetime. It has a little bit different API than Zend_Date, but it should be useful in forms etc.

Florida's Cape Coral has 431 miles of canals, more than any other city in the world, crammed into 120 square miles. That translates to a lot of bridges, most of which were built when the city was founded in 1957.
By necessity, the city's maintenance division has become quite adept at developing low-cost and effective maintenance and repair methods, mostly by doing as much as possible in-house with specialized equipment.
The most recent example is the Overhold Canal bridge reconstruction completed earlier this year. Four badly damaged and degraded 61-foot-long, 66-inch-diameter steel storm pipes were replaced with 60-inch HDPE pipe, a new material for the division. Though the project required planning and construction work employees don't normally do, they saved the city of 155,000 residents at least $38,000 by not farming out the job.
"We considered having an outside contractor reline or slipline these pipes, but believed this was a project that our staff was skilled enough to handle effectively," says Division Manager Chris Camp (firstname.lastname@example.com).
The existing structure's pavement, guardrails, and storm pipes had to be completely removed; the only elements salvaged were the concrete stem walls and guardrails. To accomplish this, crews installed dikes on either side and pumped out the water to expose the canal bed. They then placed and compacted in layers 1,500 cubic yards of fill dirt, and 200 tons of stone to Florida DOT standards. Finally, they laid new pavement to match the road's pre-construction elevation.
Preparing and coordinating the logistics was the biggest challenge.
"We gathered survey data, called in utility locates, informed neighbors of detours, and procured this unique pipe diameter," Camp says. "If the circumstances and scope of work are within our capabilities, we'll continue to do more in-house work."

Here are answers to some common questions about shortcuts.
A shortcut is a link to a file or program, represented by an icon. If you double-click a shortcut, the file or program opens. It's a great way to keep frequently used files in a single, easily accessed location, such as a folder or the desktop.
Shortcuts look different from ordinary files. Shortcut icons have an arrow in the lower-left corner, as in this example:
You can create a shortcut for almost any kind of file. In addition to documents, pictures, music, folders, and programs, you can create shortcuts for links to websites.
Yes. You can either copy or move a shortcut to a new location and it will continue to open the original file. The easiest way to move a shortcut is to drag it to the new location.
If you delete the original file, the shortcut will no longer work, so you should delete the shortcut as well. If you delete the shortcut, the original file is not affected. You can delete a shortcut if you no longer need it.
Yes. You can rename a shortcut in the same way that you rename any other kind of file. Right-click the shortcut, and then click Rename. Type a new name for the shortcut, and then press ENTER.
If you double-click a shortcut and the Missing Shortcut dialog box appears, it means the original file was moved or deleted. If you know where the original file is now located, you can click Browse and specify the new location. If not, delete the shortcut because it is no longer useful.
Yes, although changing the icon does not remove the shortcut arrow. To change the icon, right-click the shortcut, and then click Properties. Click Change Icon, click a new icon in the list, and then click OK. The shortcut will be displayed with its new icon.
The Shortcut Properties dialog box includes other options that can cause your shortcut to stop working. If you change the file information in the Target box, for example, the shortcut will no longer point to the original program.
No. Shortcut icons include small arrows to remind you that they are shortcuts. This makes it easy to identify whether an icon is for a shortcut or an original file so that you don't mistakenly delete an original file when you mean to delete a shortcut.

The C22 series motors are the next size up from the tiny C18 motors. They are an ideal choice for many indoor, parkfly & scratch built designs where you are trying to keep the weight to a minimum. Despite their small size they pack plenty of power & come complete with integral prop saver, collet adaptor & backmount.

ZF-3572: Alter Zend_Form components to lazy-load
Currently, the plugins in Zend_Form -- elements, decorators, validators, and filters -- are always instantiated immediately on attachment when the string form of the plugin is used. This causes issues with concurrency and workflow when building forms.
The solution is to load them only on-demand -- either at get() time or gets() time -- i.e., lazy loading.
This will particularly help use cases when decorators are attached late.
Fixed in r9919

ZF-4536: Encoding of Zend_XmlRpc_Fault XML is hard coded
Around line 290 in Zend/XmlRpc/Fault.php:
// Build response XML
$dom = new DOMDocument('1.0', 'ISO-8859-1');
Should read:
// Build response XML
$dom = new DOMDocument('1.0', $this->getEncoding());
Otherwise encoding of fault XML is always ISO-8859-1, overwriting default charset of UTF-8 and making calls to setEncoding() useless.
Fixed with r12357.
Changing issues in preparation for the 1.7.0 release.

<< back [3]
finally I have some time to work through all the
stuff we discussed on the Tagging Workshop.
Topics I would like to discuss:
Tagging - OSSTag - aspect oriented tagging
Well, actually my impression was, that tagging
won't help the USPTO very much right now ..
Anyway it could still be a very good thing for
the community in the sense of finding code for
use or reuse more quickly.
The 'aspect oriented tagging' is still the only
idea I heard so far that goes beyond flat tagging
or simple wiki documentation.
The good news is, that sourceforge said, that they
will implement tagging one way or the other. If
we can come up with something *cool*, they'll
adopt it.
The bad news is, that I'm not a semantic web
expert, and that I doubt that I'm really able to
figure out what is good and what is not..
Timestamping is a very clear subject, and we should
just start a project to set up a server and DO
I showed you what I already do on my site, but the
problems are:
- I don't have enough server capacity / bandwith
- It's not fully automatic yet (and thus my last verified timestamp is some weeks old ..)
- I don't publish my hash-values in any printmedium
So all we would need, is a company that want's to
support this project. We should also try to find
magazines that will publish our hashes.
The benefits are:
- If e.g. OSDL, google or OSTG would do this, the people would accept the service and actually use it (who trusts me anyway?). Kees also said that he would use it for all releases on kernel.org and I'm sure sf and google will do the same :)
- Most of the programming stuff is already done. Just try my client and timestamp *any* file: http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/prevalent/pdc-1.1-J1.5.jar?download [4] (It has an english translation, just use the flag in the right top corner after you started the program)
No *research* is needed here, let's go and do this now!
TeamFound - useful tool for the USPTO?
I really forgot to show this project to the USPTO
during the workshop.
With TeamFound you can setup your own project,
create categories and add websites to those
categories (e.g. USPTO 707 category).
So whenever an examiner would find a project during
his examination work, he could just add that site
into the appropriate category, even if it isn't
useful for the current patent at all.
The cool thing is, that once some websites are added,
you can *full text search* those sites, and thus
you'll find for your search-words only programs,
that already some examiner categorised into that
category in which you are currently interested AND
you will also search google at the same time.
(google results will be displayed on the same site,
right after the TeamFound results :)
I did set up a simple demo project 'USPTO' with
3 categorys: 700, 701 and 707
Just install this Firefox Extension
http://prdownload.berlios.de/teamfound/teamfound-0.9-fx+fl.xpi [5]
restart your Firefox, go to menu Tools/TeamFound/Settings
and set the Project-ID to '15' (projectid=15) and
restart Firefox again.
General informations on this project can be found at:
http://teamfound.berlios.de/ [6]
Help the USPTO examiners generally
It turned out that the USPTO doesn't do any kind
of community patent review internally at all ..
They don't even do pair-examination ..
They don't have much time for internet searches at all ..
Is it their fault? Probably not, it's more the politics
and that the patent office finances itself, and and ..
So I think, we actually do help the examiners,
whenever we put more political pressure and write bad press
about bad patents. This gives the examiners big help
for argueing with their bosses and their bosses' bosses
that there is really *much more time needed* to actually
check if a patent is new or not. Also I really doubt that
a single person can verify that something is new at all!
One possible way would be some kind of campaign, where
we would oppose EACH SINGLE PATENT in category G06F,
that will be granted during a whole month (e.g. January 2007).
I'm pretty sure, that we could show that about 80% of
all granted patents in this category are actually not new.
(In germany an opposition costs only 200,- Euro, no
matter if you loose or win!)
The count of patent grants in G06F was in germany
in June 2005: 50 (fifty granted patents).

Diabetes hits women hard, especially at midlife. What's more, diabetes increases your risk of heart disease, stroke, and many other serious conditions, including blindness, kidney disease, and nerve disease.
Does menopause increase diabetes risk? It's hard to separate the effects of menopause from the effects of age and weight, but it does look like hormones do have something to do with it. If you are a woman over age 50, you're especially vulnerable and women pay a heavy price for the disease. They lose more years of life than men with diabetes do.
Age and overweight (or obesity) are the most common traits that make someone likely to develop type 2 diabetes. A family history of diabetes, prediabetes, minority ethnicity, high blood pressure, cardiovascular disease or abnormal cholesterol levels, and inactivity also put people at higher risk of developing diabetes. For women, having high blood pressure develop during pregnancy (called preeclampsia), diabetes during pregnancy (called gestational diabetes) or polycystic ovary syndrome raise the risk even more.
What do the experts say?
- Get tested. The CDC estimates that more than a quarter of people who have diabetes haven't been diagnosed. The American Diabetes Association recommends that you get tested every 3 years starting at age 45, especially if you are overweight. The US Preventive Services Task Force recommends that adults with blood pressure above 135/80 be screened every 3 years. If you have some additional risks, such as a family history of diabetes, then you should get tested more frequently.
- Diet and exercise. The best way to prevent diabetes is with a healthy lifestyle. The National Institutes of Health sponsored a Diabetes Prevention Program trial, that used "intensive" lifestyle training. The participants in this large clinical trial were overweight and had prediabetes. More than two thirds of them were women, and nearly half were from an ethnic minority group. Some got intense training to change their diet, physical activity, and habits with the goal of losing just 7% of their body weight. Another group took the diabetes drug metformin and got standard advice about diet and exercise. A third group got the standard advice only. The modest but focused lifestyle change did more than anything else to prevent diabetes. It reduced the number of new diabetes cases 58% more than standard advice alone. In contrast, metformin plus standard advice didn't do nearly as well, reducing the number of diabetes cases 31% compared with standard advice. The message is that many people can benefit from adopting such.
- Take hormone therapy (HT) to prevent diabetes? The NAMS Advisory Panel of experts who helped to develop our NAMS 2012 Hormone Therapy Position Statement say no. Although it is clear that HT can reduce the risk of developing diabetes, that shouldn't be the reason you start taking it. If you take HT for your menopausal symptoms, it can offer benefits for diabetes prevention and for some of the complications of diabetes but it can also increase risk of stroke.

But we're guessing you've already set up your tree. So, lifted straight from the magazine, jot these ideas down for next year. Can't say we didn't let you know...
Christmas trees, direct For some, it's a delight to shop for the perfect Christmas tree. For others, it's a death-march. For the latter in Salt Lake and Davis counties, Dave Evans and his eight sons have developed a business delivering fresh-cut Oregon trees—and wreaths—to your doorstep. The money they earn goes directly to support their mission and college funds. Most sales are prepaid, but for true procrastinators, Evans reserves 100 trees you can buy from his backyard. Trees are delivered each Saturday till Christmas beginning Thanksgiving weekend, but you'll have to wait until next year to order one yourself. 4664 S. 1135 East, Millcreek, 801-440-6666, efament.com.
Cutting your own tree Cutting your own Christmas tree is a great way to reconnect with the roots of the celebration. For info about where to cut your own, visit pickyourownchristmastree.org.
Lighting the tree In many homes, one of the unhappier holiday rituals is Daddy cursing the Christmas lights as he attempts to untangle them and figure out why only every other bulb is blinking. Cut to the holiday cheer and hire a pro to light up the tree. Reliable Tree Care's prices range from a few hundred dollars to $20,000. Reliable also makes proactive service calls throughout the season to guarantee their customers (and their homes) stay merry and bright. 801-262-7996, reliabletreecare.com.

University knocks off Spruce Creek in 14 innings
Published: Sunday, February 17, 2013 at 6:34 p.m.
Last Modified: Sunday, February 17, 2013 at 10:14 p.m.
PORT ORANGE -- On the same day that it was named the top prep baseball team in the country by MaxPreps.com, Spruce Creek was upset at home, 2-1 in 14 innings, by University on Saturday.
"It is a very big win for the program, to go on the road, come-from-behind and get a win like that," University coach Frank Martello said.
Spruce Creek (3-1) took a 1-0 lead in the fourth, but the Titans (3-0) tied it in the sixth. In the 14th, Randy Cianciotto drove home Reid Henly for the winning run.
Drew Peden and Nick Vadney, who got the win, each worked seven innings for University. Griffin Fuller took the loss for Spruce Creek.
Henly led University, going 3-for-5. He had the game-tying RBI in the sixth. Chase Goodrich had two hits for Spruce Creek and had the Hawks only RBI.
The Hawks were listed No. 1 team in the national prep website's Xcellent 25 Preseason National Baseball Rankings that were released Saturday.
"(Spruce Creek coach Johnny Goodrich and I are close," Martello said. "I have the utmost respect for him and his program. For us to be able to go there and win a game like this is great for our program."

LeBron on quote: 'It wasn't saying that I'm superior'
The real world has been challenging enough for LeBron James in recent days. His "real world" quote in the wake of the Miami Heat's playoff demise on Sunday night made it even more challenging.
Tuesday, with Heat players and coaches meeting for the final time this season, James tried to clarify his Sunday comment.
In the wake of Sunday's loss to the Dallas Mavericks, when asked if it bothered him that some enjoyed seeing him fail, James implied that those who relished his failures had no recourse than return to their mundane lives.
Tuesday, James said there was never an intent to demean.
"I think it's interpreted different than what I was trying to get out there," he said during a media session at AmericanAirlines Arena. "Basically, I was saying, at the end of the day, this season is over and regarding hatred, not only myself, but everyone has to move on with their lives, as well.
"They have to move on with their lives and their day-to-day, good or bad, as I do, too, at the end of the day. I've got to move on with my life.
"So it wasn't saying that I'm superior or better than anyone else, any man or woman on this planet, I'm not. I would never, ever look at myself better than any of you guys sitting here or anybody that watches our game, or anybody that would look at me as a professional basketball player. I'm not superior to anyone. So, it may have come off wrong, but that wasn't my intent."
For those late to the game, below is the question and answer that led to Tuesday's comment.
Q. (During Sunday's postgame media session): Does it bother you that so many people are happy to see you fail?
A. James (on Sunday night): "Absolutely not. Because at the end of the day, all the people that was rooting on me to fail, at the end of the day they have to wake up tomorrow and have the same life that they had before they woke up today. They have the same personal problems they had today. I'm going to continue to live the way I want to live and continue to do the things that I want to do with me and my family and be happy with that. They can get a few days or a few months or whatever the case may be on being happy about not only myself, but the Miami Heat not accomplishing their goal, but they have to get back to the real world at some point."

Day 10: Peace like a river
When last winter arrived, the water pipes in Teena's home in West Virginia burst, leaving her and her family without water or the means to fix them … for eight months.
This fall, missions teams through World Vision's U.S. Programs came and fixed her water system, bringing peace, a river of water, shouts of joy from her sons, and tears of joy from Teena!
This is their story.

You say you love 80's eh?
What song is this:
Somtimes, I feel, I've got to
Run away

Get away
From the pain you drive into all of me
The love we share
Seems to go no where,
And I've lost, my life,
For I toss and turn, I can't sleep at night!
Once I ran to you
Now I run from you...
Just want to quiz you

Topps Panel Discussion At The 2012 NSCC - Cliff Notes
- Details
- Created on Friday, 03 August 2012 00:51
Topps employees held a discussion with dealers but mostly collectors from around the industry at the 2012 National Sports Collectors Convention on Thursday. Ryan from Sports Card Radio attended the event, and tweeted lots of the topics that were discussed. A video of the event might be posted as well - but here are the Tweets from @SportsCardNews during the panel discussion with some added context/links.
Topps: Mark Sapir VP of sports opening presentation. (1)
|Below are additional notes Ryan Tedards added after the show. Please keep in mind, the things written below are meant to add color to the presentation. Not actual quotes or things that were said by Topps.
|Topps: Mark Sapir VP of sports opening presentation.
(1) Mark Sapir can be found on Twitter here: @marksapir
Topps: we don't like redemptions. We call the agent of a player all the time to get signing session
Sapir: how do u define the value when sending a 'replacement' card.
|Redemption extra hit? Don't think so says Sapir
(4) So if a product has "2 hits per box" those would be "live" in the product. Any redemption card would be an extra hit in the box. Sapir says that won't happen.
|Topps: we used to release unlimited sku's (Products)
(5) Topps used to be able to make an unlimited amount of products in a year for the MLB. Now they are limited - by the MLB - with how many that can release each baseball season.
|Topps: we don't release case print runs because its a business decision
(6) This refers to announcing "how many cases they made of (insert product name)." Topps will not do this for a number of reasons. For one, they are a privately held company and releasing that type of information could help their competitors (like Upper Deck and Panini) get an idea how big of a business Topps is, or to put it another way, how much money they make. Also, in respect to the cards themselves, releasing the total print run of a product might "limit" the value a card may have. Collectors pay very close attention to serial numbering and the overall "rareness" of a card. Having those numbers set in stone might close off the market to mainstream sets that have huge print runs.
|Topps: we can't just do a Beatles card.
(7) Topps just can't make a set called 2012 Topps Beatles Collection. Topps would need to negotiate with the party that holds the rights to the Beatles name and trademark. And let's not kid ourselves, that wouldn't come cheap. The same way Topps has to negotiate a licensing deal with the MLB, NFL, United States Olympic Committee, etc, they would need that same type of "deal" with whomever controls the Beatles properties.
|Topps: yes true story all those 52 Topps cards in Hudson river..... Where Lineage went.
(8) Topps couldn't sell all the 1952 Topps Baseball cards they made. So back then they sent them out and dumped them into the Hudson River. Amazing to think about. In one of the funniest moments of the presentation, one of the Topps guys said "Where (2011 Topps) Lineage went." I busted out laughing.
|Topps: value box big hits are not on purpose
(9) Refering to the Baseball Value Boxes that collectors were reporting they were getting huge pulls from. Forums like Blowout Cards and Freedom Cardboard have threads with collectors showing off their hits from those products.
|Topps: we have so many distribution channels its tough to regulate people who get product early
(10) So distribution channel - for the Hobby Box side, they have to ship out to all their authorized distributors. Then of course there are places like Target and WalMart that have their own, totally separate vendors that handle getting the retail boxes into the stores. It's almost impossible for Topps to control when a place like WalMart puts their product on the shelf. Some regions of the country may get product first. Some distributors may get the product a day or two before the other one. It's a tricky business.
|Topps: Bowman Draft hard to sell at retail after season. That's why they made it hobby only
(11) 2012 Bowman Draft Baseball will be a hobby only release. Typically you see that product available at Target and WalMart (like $19.99 blasters and $2.99 packs). Now that product will only be sold in hobby stores and online at places like Blowout Cards and DACardWorld.
|Topps: Target Walmart can ship product back. Then gets destroyed
(12) Apparently they even destroy them at WalMart themselves. Check out this tweet.
|Topps: we don't love that we run out of nscc wrapper redemption cards. We need a better way. Line for hour. Then we run out if cards
(13) Topps only gave away 100 sets of the Bowman Platinum cards and Gypsy Queen 9 card set each day. Before any paying collector was allowed in, Topps would have a line of 40 people already in line. How? Dealers would line up and get them. Look for Topps to have a new gameplan in 2013 in Chicago. They took a lot of heat for this years handling of the wrapper redemption cards.
|Topps gave away a ton of boxes and cards during the presentation. But I thought it was real funny they were giving away these prizes from an empty case box of 2012 Donruss Elite Football. The picture is blurry - but just trust me on that. I got a chuckle from it. You can also see the box in the picture at the top of the page.
|They also gave away cards from the yet to "street" 2012 Topps Football (although I think there were already cards on eBay from retail breaks). Topps even said, with a smile, "Don't sell these cards on eBay until Wednesday (August 8, 2012)". But check out one of the cards a nice young man won. It's a picture of Joe Namath but it says Bart Starr at the bottom. We shall see if that card is corrected in the actual set (waiting to find one on eBay). Could make this "error" card very, very rare.
|Overall Impressions: Really awesome of Topps to have such an event for collectors at the 2012 National Convention. They have had other such Q&A sessions at past NSCC's. Mark Sapir literally opened the presentation up for questions. He didn't have some kind of speech or power point or anything. Which I thought was fantastic. Besides Twitter, this is a great way for you to get your answer about a question you might have. To me, this is a must attend event if you go to the NSCC. I had flashbacks to the 2012 Las Vegas Industry Summit - when day after day they had company presentations.
Every Card Company should have one of these @ the NSCC

|Mortellaro recovers to tie for first
PULLMAN, Wash. - University of Idaho junior golfer Kayla Mortellaro recovered from an opening-round 80 with back-to-back 70s to tie for first at the WSU Cougar Cup at Palouse Ridge Golf Club.
Mortellaro's back-to-back 70s were the low rounds for the tournament and enabled the young Vandals to pull into fourth on the tournament's third day. Teo Poplawski, also a junior, added a 225 to Mortellaro's 220 in enabling Idaho to claim fourth behind host Washington State (917), Washington (918) and Gonzaga (920). The Vandals collaborated for a 924.
"I was happy with how we played better each day," coach Lisa Johnson said. "We played better than last week, too.
"We definitely felt more comfortable (in tournament action). We managed the golf course better than last week and better each day."
Two freshmen and one sophomore rounded out the Idaho lineup with freshman Rachel Choi tying for 26th at 238, freshman Allyssa Nilsson tying for 35th at 241 and sophomore Gracie Schory tying for 55th at 254. All three had the best rounds during the final day.
Johnson said Mortellaro's ability to play one shot at a time demonstrates her mental toughness.
"It's impressive to see how strong Kayla's mental game is - and it continues to improve," Johnson said.

Good sized apartment in a block of apartments. Close to supermarket, 20 minute walk to entrance of the lakes. Pleasant stay, very helpful hostess. Good value.
Un ' esperienza positiva sotto tutti i punti di vista. Organizzazione perfetta sotto tutti i punti di vista , prima di partire fino all ultimo istante , accoglienza puntuale e professionale sul posto . Disponibilità massima del referente in loco . Appartamento collocato in posizione estremamente pratica per la visita ai laghi e con ottima sistemazione .
Dans un confort relatif cet appartement possède deux énormes points positifs.
L'accueil est très agréable.
De plus, la situation est idéale car on peut accéder au parc de Plitvice en un quart d'heure à pied en passant par la forêt !!!
Nice clean well equipped apartment. Very friendly hoists. Would recommend to all my friends.
The Oasis is a wonderful and great accomodation. The house is surrounded by Lemon trees and offers a great view to the sea. It is well equipped, clean and very comfortable for Groups/families up to ten. Highly recommanded.
The place shown on the pictures has an open swimming pool. However if you 're in to reading all the small letters in the massive paper work of Inter Home you Will Read That the pool is open from the 15th of June. What à dissapointment for my daughter. Furthermore we had to pay for the bedlinen on top of the cleaning which was counted pro person. And of course because it was cold we had to pay for the heating although in the living room was no heating system, only in the bath and bedroom. The owners were. Ice although when people arrive in the middle of the night due to their flight it would be nice if there would be something to drink. The garden is large and nice decorated so I think in summer when the pool is open it will be a paradise. For myself I think it is deceive that Wimdu puts this booking through a link connecting to another website. In this way you pay a lot more and you don,'t get what is shown on the pictures. I will never book in this manner again because in the end you pay a lot more.
Wonderful place with great hosts. The apartment is spacious and very clean, the beds are big and comfortable, the kitchen is very well equipped and the balcony offers a superb view of Eiger. We will certainly come back again.
nice sunny apartment, close to mountains, ideal for active holidays close to innsbruck and germany.
a bit 90's furnishing but everything clean and usefull.
Thanks a lot
We had a great time. The accommodation was good, room was clean and complete. It had a nice parking garage, a bit small but fine.
It was no problem that we arrived late in the evening (car trouble). The breakfast service was convenient and good. We had a great view of the mountains and we got some great advice about the area from the landlord.
We would recommend this accommodation to everyone who loves nature. But you do have to travel a bit (25min) for the first big supermarket.

To students currently obtaining, or thinking about obtaining their General Educational Development (GED) degree, changes will occur at the end of 2013, requiring those affected to start planning now. The current version of the test, known as the 2002 Series GED test, will expire at the end of 2013. It will be replaced with the new 2014 GED test in January 2014. Those who have taken the 2002 Series GED test, but not passed or completed all five parts, have until the end of 2013 to pass or complete all parts, or they will need to start over again in 2014 with the new GED test in order to receive their high school credential. "The GED test opens doors to college, better jobs, and gives adults the satisfaction of earning a high school credential," said Sandra Huenink, dean of Basic Education at Moraine Park. "We want to be sure that everyone is aware of this deadline. GED test-takers must act now to finish and pass before the current test expires. November, 2013 may sound like a long time from now, but those involved in the GED test taking process need to give themselves time to prepare for the tests, and receive the results." Moraine Park Technical College offers GED preparation in a variety of formats and will help you complete your credential. The college is also an official testing site.

When he set his 1966 poem "Suzanne Takes You Down" to music for his 1967 debut album, The Songs of Leonard Cohen, the Canadian author-musician found a linchpin between the worlds of pop music and literature and empowered the emerging singer-songwriter sub-genre in the process. First recorded and popularized by urban folk performer Judy Collins, "Suzanne" drew melodically from cabaret and European art song, while its lyrics – inspired by a real woman (Suzanne Vidal), a real city (Montreal) and an imaginary love affair (Cohen's visionary genius) – transformed the everyday details of life into a hallucinatory religious experience. A gently arpeggiated guitar figure rolls like the cosmos around the singer as he murmurs a litany of observations – some crazy, some profound, all of them Suzanne. A contemplation of love and consciousness awash in an acoustic dreamscape, "Suzanne" stood apart from both the psychedelic hard rock and the protest songs of the late Sixties and endures, in hundreds of cover versions, as one of the most compelling songs Cohen has ever written. Cohen was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2008.

Axiall is a chemical company formed in 2012 from the chemical assets of PPG and Georgia Gulf. The PPG products are primarily chlor-alkali. The combined companies will be the third largest producer of chlor-alkali in the US after Dow Chemical and Occidental. PPG will own 50.5% of the combined companies. The company is headquartered in Atlanta, GA.
In 2015, Dow announced the sale of its chlor-alkali business to Olin making Olin the largest US producer. In the process, Dow will own 50.5% of Olin and hold three seats on the board of directors.
Website: http://www.axiall.com/
Company Description
Chlor-alkali consists of the production of chlorine and usually sodium hydroxide (aka caustic soda or lye) by electrolysis of salt. Chlorine is used primarily to make PVC plastic; caustic soda is a major source of sodium in a variety of industries. This is the classical co-product situation in that chlorine cannot be stored and the two products have different demand/growth cycles. Keeping them in balance is usually accomplished by raising prices on one and cutting on the other, but it's a roller coaster for all involved.
The prospectus indicates that PPG also makes chlorine derivatives including calcium hypochlorite (aka chlorinated lime), chlorinated solvents, and phosgene derivatives. These businesses too are going to Axiall.
Georgia Gulf is a vertically integrated manufacturer of vinyl including chlorine, caustic soda, vinyl chloride monomer, PVC, and molded vinyl products for the construction industry. They also make cumene, cumene hydroperoxide, acetone, and phenol.
In 2014, Axiall announced an agreement to build a new ethane cracker in Louisiana in a jv with Lotte Chemical (KOSPI : 011170) of the Republic of Korea. A cracker converts ethane derived from natural gas to ethylene, a basic raw material for a variety of downstream chemicals especially vinyl chloride monomer for production of PVC. Lotte plans to build an adjacent ethylene glycol plant.

Tigers Stand Second Heading into Sunday's Round at Princeton Invitational
The Princeton Invitational women's golf event, the first tournament of the fall season for the Tigers, is through two of its three rounds with the final round to come Sunday.
Harvard, at 6-over, leads Princeton by seven shots in the eight-team field, with Harvard's Tiffany Lim, who won the last Princeton Invitational in 2011, shooting a 7-under on the day with a 66 and a 71 to pace the field. Lim is six shots in front of Tiger rookie Jordan Lippetz at -1. The Tigers have two more players in the top five with Kelly Shon tied for third at 1-over and Hana Ku fifth at 3-over.
Lim's 66 is believed to be the lowest round ever at the Princeton Invitational, which was first played in 1997. Through the last six tournaments, Yale's Seo Hee Moon had the next-best round with a 68 in 2010.
Complete results through the first round are available here through BirdieFire. Princeton's results are below. Tee times for the third round, which will begin at 8 a.m., are posted here.

In this ten-part series, we've broken down the simple steps anybody can use to effectively turn their ideas into action. We'll explore how a petition is formulated, supported and presented.
But first, let's dig into Petitions 101: Why do we need them, and how do they work?
A petition, put simply, is a list of names and signatures compiled together to show popular support for a cause. By demonstrating public support, petitions give clout to an issue that could otherwise go overlooked by government or business. Whether you are looking to change a law or a behavior — or just raise awareness for an issue — petitions are an easy and inexpensive way to get the word out.
Petitions have a long history of bringing about significant changes. In the U.S., a petition demanding an end to slavery gathered 130,000 signatures and helped start turning the wheels of Congress toward ending slavery.
Care2's online powerhouse, ThePetitionSite.com, is transforming our definition of activism by making petitions more accessible to the public and easier to support and share.
Online petitions are easier to create and more effective than ever before. When can a petition make a difference: Human/animal rights? Corporate policy? Environmental issues? Yes, yes, and yes.
"Almost any time you see something that you think should be changed, a petition could help make a difference."
"Online virality has breathed new life into petitions. It has never been easier to attract attention to causes that matter. The tools at our disposal allow us to reach more people and make a greater impact than in days past."
One person's voice is rarely enough to influence a large government body or company. That's why we need petitions:
"Online petitions allow us to harness the power of features like social networks, hashtags, and trending topics, to ensure as many people as possible can see and lend support to your cause."
Each campaign is different, but if you're thinking of starting your own petition you should follow these three steps:
Remember, the goals of a petition are to drum up support, to introduce the population to your cause, and to show policy makers that there are others who back your requests for change. We give you all the tools you need, but only YOU can breathe life into the issues that matter most to you and your community.
Do you have a cause to share with others? Is there an issue you are passionate about? Start a petition today!
In Part Two, we'll explain the questions you should ask yourself to determine whether or not your cause is "petition worthy." Click here for more tips and tricks on how to share and promote the causes you care about most!
Problem on this page? Briefly let us know what isn't working for you and we'll try to make it right!

This is a good, inexpensive, lightweight gel mask that is suitable for all skin types experiencing minor dryness. The fragrance-free formula is gentle and rinses well, but there's no reason you can't leave this on your skin overnight.

This seemed biased...

Comments about Isomers Moisture Mask:
I love isomers and actually enjoy the variety they provide. I've tried several different lines and many offer an abundance of choices to meet the demand of a fickle buying audience, but that doesn't negate the fact that the products work! If you need assistance narrowing down where to start you can just call isomers...who else offers that? Bottom line this review seemed slightly biased and overly critical. Btw the sun screen offered at isomers is the only one that has never caused a breakout!

Isomers At-A-Glance
Strengths: Complete ingredient lists are available on the company's Web site and on shopnbc.com; many fragrance-free products; several products are reasonably priced (but many are overpriced and the price isn't related to the formula, so be careful); some good moisturizers and serums; most products come in packaging that helps keep the light- and air-sensitive ingredients stable.
Weaknesses: An overabundance of antiwrinkle serums, when only one well-formulated product is ever needed; only one sunscreen (that's ridiculous given the number of "antiwrinkle" products they sell); some products contain controversial ingredients, such as the drug teprenone or ingredients said to stimulate human stem cells; the lip-plumping and lash-enhancing products; greasy eye makeup remover; incomplete options for managing acne.
Toronto-based Isomers is a cosmetics company started by a husband and wife team back in 1988, when oversized shoulder pads were still the height of fashion. The husband, Darius Majlessi, is a cosmetic chemist and the wife, Manuela Marcheggiani, had problem skin and couldn't find a solution at the cosmetics counters. Picture a blender (to mix ingredients), textbooks, and a married couple holed up researching ingredients and, voilá, another cosmetics company is born.
Although the company's been around for quite a while now, only recently has it come to prominence (read: consumer awareness beyond Canada's borders), and that's because of their presence on the Web site www.shopnbc.com. This site is NBC's version of QVC or the Home Shopping Network. Apparently, the televised appearances by this line's representatives have spurred many of my readers to write to me, asking if Isomers has the antiwrinkle answer or the solution to their skin-care issues. Ms. Marcheggiani is the spokesperson for the brand, and has the requisite engaging personality that gets viewers to pay attention to her spiel about whatever Isomers skin-care product is being featured. Listening to customer testimonials and watching Marcheggiani nod in agreement, it's not hard to see why curiosity about this line has become so intense. But just like every other skin-care infomercial or overly advertised skin-care product, tread carefully. Remember, the claims and endorsements are nauseatingly redundant, with minor supercilious marketing nuances. In essence, don't pick up the phone on this one; it is no more the answer than the hundreds of other lines carrying on about how unique they are.
Isomers claims to be the ultimate beauty innovator because they set industry standards for producing "functional cosmetics." So, what they're stating is that their products are functional and that everyone else has learned that from them. But even so, if I interpret their claim correctly, a functional product would be a cleanser that cleanses, a moisturizer that moisturizes, and a toner that refreshes skin—hardly an innovative, industry-leading claim, but there you have it. It's like Ford advertising that they manufacture "drivable cars" or that your local grocery store sells "edible food"!
The truth is that Isomers isn't really innovative in the least. In fact, the first words I'd use to describe their products are confusing, excessive, and redundant. Few lines I've ever reviewed sell this many moisturizers and serums claiming to do the exact same thing. Yes, companies like Estee Lauder have an abundance of moisturizers, but at least their formulas and packaging differ, making it relatively easy for consumers to understand which product to use and why. Not so with Isomers. If you're concerned about wrinkles or loss of firmness, you'll be greeted with more serums than even the savviest consumer would know what to do with. And according to the company, all of the products are remarkable, all of them work, and all of them are unique.
Isomers is big on gimmicky and unproven ingredients. It seems they've never met a cosmetic breakthrough they didn't like. I imagine cosmetic raw material salespeople love visiting the Isomers office, because they seemingly say yes to whatever ingredient is being presented, as long as there's an anti-aging story behind it (and believe me, cosmetic ingredient manufacturers have stories upon stories for every single ingredient they sell).
This is especially true for peptides. If there's a peptide that's trendy, Isomers is using it. The lack of substantiated research pertaining to efficacy doesn't seem to matter; as long as the company selling the material says it works, that's all the convincing they seem to need. Isomers is a line busy creating way too many antiwrinkle, anti–puffy eyes, anti–dark circle, anti-sagging, anti-whatever-you-don't-like-about-your-skin products. Enough already, if one product says it can get rid of wrinkles, what are all the other products for? Yes, this was a maddening line to wade through, and the company's Web site was little help in figuring things out. If you visit, tread carefully, as you could easily get lost or end up buying way more products than any one face could possibly need.
I'll preface this by stating that Isomers does have some very good products to consider; the main problem with Isomers is that too many of their anti-aging products leave your skin wanting more. Instead of offering a handful of serums or moisturizers loaded with antioxidants, skin-identical ingredients, anti-irritants, and cell-communicating ingredients, Isomers cherry-picks one or two key ingredients and formulates a product around them. Instead of creating one great product with almost everything your skin needs to be healthy, they add only the ingredients necessary for advertising copy. That isn't the best way to take care of skin, at least not if the goal is to get the best, most high-performance skin-care products for your money.
OK, I do have another issue with Isomers, but it's not one that's unique to them. Here's another skin-care line that sells numerous (honestly, I lost count) antiwrinkle serums and moisturizers ... and only one sunscreen. That is just mind boggling for a company claiming to know so much about skin. Really, how seriously can you take a skin-care company that places so little importance on sun protection? The sole sunscreen they sell provides broad-spectrum protection, but I'd rather see Isomers offer too many sunscreens instead of too many serums. At least if all the sunscreens were well-formulated you'd be assured of critical sun protection and a legitimate anti-aging benefit! Isomers has lots of products (and I mean a lot) to offer, but only a fraction of them are worth your attention. With these reviews, I hope your experience with this brand goes smoother than mine did!

Widespread Adoption of Biomarkers Has Been...
Imagine that a simple blood draw and two-gene analysis could predict a pregnant woman's chances of developing postpartum depression after delivering her child.
A new study out of the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine suggests that might one day be possible.
Writing today in Molecular Psychiatry, Hopkins' Zachary Kaminsky, Ph.D., and his colleagues show that DNA methylation at TTC9B and HP1BP3 correlate significantly with the development of postpartum depression, such that the epigenetic changes predicted with 85% certainty which of the 52 mothers-to-be they studied might show symptoms.
Said Kaminsky, assistant professor of psychiatry and behavioral sciences, in a statement: "We were pretty surprised by how well the genes were correlated with postpartum depression." With additional research and larger studies, he added, "this could prove to be a powerful tool."
As such, he and his colleagues are working to collect blood samples from a larger group of pregnant woman and to follow them for an extended period of time. The ultimate goal, Kaminsky said, is to develop a blood test to screen for the epigenetic markers, one which might eventually be added to the battery of tests women undergo during pregnancy.
"If you knew you were likely to develop postpartum depression, your decisions about managing your care could be made more clearly," he said.

ZF-3127: constructor should be protected to get it working with php 5.2.6
The constructor is currently private and should be protected to get extended classes working under php 5.2.6.
But they ARE made private to be not extended... I would think this is expected behaviour and not a issue.
* Singleton pattern implementation makes "new" unavailable
* @return void
not in every case. Some of them are singleton implementations and they should be extendable.
Indeed, Zend_Auth should be extensible, and this issue should be resolved for this component. I'm not sure why Zend_InfoCard would not be extensible with a private constructor, so I'll look into this, too. I'll defer to [~alexander] about Zend_Search_Lucene. [~ralph] and I should also have a look at Zend_Session, but I recall that there were design reasons for its private members.
Zend_Search_Lucene is not intended to be extensible, but its constructor is public. Zend_Search_Lucene objects should be created using open()/create() Zend_Search_Lucene static methods, but 'new' operator is not disabled (constructor is not switched to private) to be compatible with previous Zend_Search_Lucene implementations.
Removing Zend_Search_Lucene from affected components list.
Resolved in revision 11747
Changing issues in preparation for the 1.7.0 release.
