Samonella contaminated chicken from Foster Farms is the target of the October 7th USDA public health alert. The alert is in response to concerns that illness caused by strains of Salmonella Heidelberg are associated with raw chicken products produced by Foster Farms at three facilities in California.
It is estimated 278 salmonella related illnesses were recently reported in 18 states, predominantly in California but the outbreak is continuing because the chicken was mostly distributed to California, Oregon and Washington. The Centers for Disease Control are diligently working with local and state health departs to monitor the situation as the outbreak continues. This is good news for all concerned citizens right now in light of the government shutdown of many vital services.
The USDA's Food Safety and Inspection Service wants to remind consumers the importance of proper food handling. Especially raw meat. Cooking meat completely is also a concern as it relates to transmitting potentially life threatening bacteria like Samonella.
Consuming food contaminated with Salmonella can cause salmonellosis, one of the most common bacterial foodborne illnesses. Salmonella infections can be life-threatening to those with weak immune systems, The most common symptoms of salmonellosis are diarrhea, abdominal cramps, and fever within eight to 72 hours. Additional symptoms may be chills, headache, nausea and vomiting that can last up to seven days.
Although the Foster Farms chicken from 3 facilities are under investigation for this contamination, no recall has yet to be issued because there is not a definite link from any specific product.
In a press release by Foster Farms, President Ron Foster says, "We are committed to ensuring the safety of our products, and our family-owned company has maintained an excellent food safety record during its near 80-year history. We deeply regret any foodborne illness that may be associated with any of our products. Food safety is at the very heart of our business. It is a continuous process of improvement. In addition to collaborating with FSIS and CDC, the company has retained national experts in epidemiology and food safety technology to assess current practices and identify opportunities for further improvement."
According to the USDA, the investigation is ongoing and FSIS is prepared to take additional actions or expand the investigation based on new evidence. Again, the best way to prevent samonella poisoning is with proper food handling and cooking. However, if you do feel you may have Samonella poisoning, seek medical attention immediately.

iOS 5.0.1 now available, fixes battery life issues
Apple has released the first minor update to iOS 5. iOS 5.0.1 has one main feature: it supposedly fixes the battery life issues many iPhone 4S users have been complaining about on the Internet. That despite the fact that Consumer Reports tested the iPhone 4S and concluded that its battery life was no worse than its predecessor's. Still, Apple said it managed to find the culprit and fixed the bug(s) in this release.
Aside from that, the new software version comes with improved voice recognition for Australian users. It also restores multitasking gestures to the original iPad, a feature which was strangely removed in iOS 5. Finally, some bugs relating to Documents in the Cloud have also been squashed.
This is Apple's first over-the-air update for its iDevices, since iOS 5 introduced that capability. As such, your iPhone, iPod touch, or iPad should notify you that the update is available. If it hasn't done so yet, you can go to Settings > General > Software update and coerce it into manually checking. It should find it then download and install it, though be advised that the procedure may take a while.

College Hockey:2008-09 Atlantic Hockey Season Preview
"It's a goalie's league."
I agree completely with Mercyhurst coach Rick Gotkin's assessment. It's shared by all the coaches in the league as well. AHA returns all ten of its starting goaltenders in 2008-2009, and only three are seniors.
"Every team has a goalie that can beat you," said Army coach Brian Riley. "Goals are so hard to come by in this league."
Who's the best on any given night? All-American Josh Kassel of Army? All-League netminder Beau Erickson at UConn? All-Rookie goalie Joe Calvi of Bentley? What about Andrew Volkening, who led Air Force to its second consecutive title? Matt Lundin of Mercyhurst, who, now healthy, may be the best of the bunch? RIT's Louis Menard? Sacred Heart's Stefan Drew? Adam Roy at Holy Cross? Andrew Loewen at Canisius? AIC's Dan Ramirez?
All but Ramirez had save percentages over .900 and GAA's below 3.00 last season. All stole at least one game for their teams.
Some rule changes might help increase scoring — moving more faceoffs to the lower dots and not letting the defensive team change on an icing are on the books this season. Adding an additional referee will probably result in more power plays.
"I think (the rule changes) will create more offensive opportunities," said Sacred Heart coach Shaun Hannah. "But you have to take advantage of those chances. These teams all know how to play defense and all have talented and athletic goalies."
While the guys in net will be the same this year, the playoff format won't.
For the sixth time in as many seasons, a new postseason format is being rolled out. This year, Atlantic Hockey decided to abandon its "Final Five" format and will send four teams to Blue Cross Arena.
Teams finishing seventh through 10th will play a single first-round game with the higher seeds hosting on Saturday, March 7. The quarterfinals, held at the top four seeds, will be a best-of-three series played March 13-15. The surviving four teams will play in the semifinals at Blue Cross Arena in Rochester on Friday, March 20, with the title game slated for Saturday, March 2
Who will be there is anyone's guess, but one thing for sure is that the guys between the pipes will have their say.
"It's tough sometimes," said Air Force coach Frank Serratore. "You play well, you do everything right you need to do to win the game. You should win the game.
"But you don't because of their frickin' goalie."

2007-08 Atlantic Hockey record: 11-10-7
2007-08 Atlantic Hockey finish: Fifth

2007-08 AHA record: 15-8-5
2007-08 Atlantic Hockey finish: Second

2007-08 Atlantic Hockey finish: First

2007-08 Atlantic Hockey record: 14-11-3
2007-08 Atlantic Hockey finish: Fourth
2008-09 predicted finish (coaches poll): Fourth

2007-08 overall record: 11-20-6
2007-08 Atlantic Hockey record: 10-13-5
2007-08 Atlantic Hockey finish: Tied for Sixth
2008-09 predicted finish (coaches' poll): Seventh
Outlook: The Griffs may be a year away, but I think they'll make some serious noise this season and wouldn't be surprised to see them holding a home-ice playoff spot if they play to their potential.
2007-08 overall record: 9-21-6
2007-08 Atlantic Hockey record: 9-13-6
2007-08 Atlantic Hockey finish: Eighth
2008-09 predicted finish (coaches' poll) : Ninth
Outlook:The coaches picked the Falcons to finish ninth, but with everybody back and an All-Rookie goalie, I think they'll be better than that.
2007-08 overall record: 13-21-3
2007-08 Atlantic Hockey record: 11-14-3
2007-08 Atlantic Hockey finish: Tied for Sixth
2008-09 predicted finish (coaches' poll): Eighth
Outlook: The Huskies will be young and will probably go as far as Beau Erickson can carry them.
2007-08 overall record: 10-19-7
2007-08 Atlantic Hockey record: 9-15-4
2007-08 Atlantic Hockey finish: Ninth
2008-09 predicted finish (coaches' poll): Sixth
Outlook: Besides Adam Roy, the key to the Crusaders' season will be killing penalties. Their power play was outstanding last year. The PK? Not so much.
2007-08 overall record: 8-23-5
2007-08 Atlantic Hockey record: 8-17-3
2007-08 Atlantic Hockey finish: Tenth
2008-09 predicted finish (coaches' poll): Tenth
Outlook: Each of the past three seasons have meant more wins for the Yellow Jackets, but they'll be hard pressed to do it again with the loss of some key talent.

Ginger-topped Lucas favorite Blu Kennedy returns to break in hard-bodied jock Brian Bodine for our cameras. Blu`s milky white skin contrasts against Brian`s smooth dark skin as the two 69 and fuck each other silly. A perfect demonstration of versatility, they take turns fucking each other until the cum blasts out of their big dicks.
Tags: location:316 videos
When we heard that Blu had moved to New Jersey from San Francisco, we knew we had to work with him again. After all, his audition with Michael (included on Auditions 4) was one of our favorite scenes of 2005. So we hooked Blu up for an Encounters scene with Danny Bitho, and once again he proved just how hot he is! A student by day, Blu enjoys fast cars, high fashion, and white and Latino guys in his free time.
Miami born and raised, Brian prefers doing it doggy style, with him on the bottom. We first worked with him for our Fort Lauderdale feature Welcome to Paradise, and we liked him so much we flew him up to NYC to shoot a flip-flopping Audition with Blu Kennedy and a steamy post-gym Encounter with Vin Nolan. Then we flew him out to Hungary for Cruising Budapest VI: Brian Bodine! Now that he's a full-tilt Lucas Entertainment megawatt star, fans can indulge in his growing library of memorable performances.

The StenLight battery is meant to be mounted outside the rear of the helmet. I opted to try and mount mine inside the top. I realize there is a risk of injury should the helmet be called upon to stop a falling rock, but I doubt I would sustain any more injury from the battery. It fits perfectly inside the top of my Petzl Ecrin helmet. There is even room for a second backup cell on the other side. Heavy duty velcro holds the battery in place.

Binns Management is one of the top MMA management companies on the East Coast. Further proof of that is there are a total of 7 (yes SEVEN) Binns Management clients fighting on the upcoming Bellator MMA 118 fight card at the Revel Casino in Atlantic City, NJ on May 2nd. One of those clients is none other than Bellator MMA veteran Jay Haas. Haas is a 24 fight veteran, and has fought for well-known MMA promotions including Bellator MMA, CFFC, Shogun Fights, and Xtreme Caged Combat. Haas will be facing off against a familiar foe in Lester Caslow at Bellator MMA 118: Dantas vs. Warren. I had the chance to speak with Haas on his upcoming fight, how he got into MMA, and his new manager Jimmy Binns Jr:
Kyle Holdsworth: What's your relationship with Jimmy Binns Jr. like? How do you think signing with Binns Management is going to benefit your career?
Jay Haas: As far as me and Jimmy, our relationship in the sport is new. I've been around a bit in MMA as you can tell with my record, and have been screwed over many times and had up and downs. With this last loss, I really put deep thought into where to go from here and I came across Binns Management. They have a great reputation and have a great stable of guys, so I contacted Jimmy Binns Jr. and we hit it off. I really look forward to the future with him as my manager and I'm super pumped!
KH: When did you first notice the sport of MMA, and what made you decide this was the sport you wanted to be apart of?
JH: I first really saw the sport in high school as a wrestler. The first fight I watched was Forrest Griffin vs. Stephan Bonnar. I remember thinking to myself, "Why the hell would anyone ever do that to themselves?" Fast forward, I lost my College Wrestling opportunities to being a dumb kid and figured I'd try to get my workouts through MMA. I went to Blackman MMA in Harrisburg, PA for a free class ( scared s***less haha). I sparred the first day and was hooked. About six years later and here I am!
KH: Who would you say was/is your inspiration for fighting?
JH: At first, my inspiration was my love for one on one competition. When I got further into it, I realized I could make a living doing what I love and support my family. My fiancé and three little ones are my main inspirations now.
KH: What is your ultimate goal for your career in Mixed Martial Arts?
JH: My ultimate goal is to fight at the big show, and give everything I have to this sport until I'm no longer able to.
KH: You're getting back into the cage on May 2nd at Bellator MMA 118, fighting at the Revel Casino in Atlantic City. How does it feel fighting so close to home and on such a big stage?
JH: Fighting for Bellator MMA again is a blessing. I don't have the best record and they keep giving me great opportunities to prove myself in what I believe one of our sports biggest stages. For that I'm greatful. It just lets me know there's people who know I'm better than I've shown.
KH: You're facing off against Lester Caslow again for the second time in your career. The first time it didn't go your way. What are your thoughts on your opponent and what are your predictions for the fight this time around?
JH: As far as fighting Lester Caslow again, I can't really look back on our fight because that's the past. I have taken some time off and dealt with my demons, which was a big struggle in my career in the past. This fight, I'm going in clear headed and expect to come out on top!
Jay Haas along with seven other Binns Management clients, will be fighting at Bellator MMA 118 on May 2nd at the Revel Casino in Atlantic City, NJ. Fellow Binns Management client and 215MMA fighter Sam "Sammy O" Oropeza will be fighting in the co-main event, and will be looking to advance to the finals of the Season 10 Bellator MMA Welterweight $100K tournament (ARTICLE ON SAMMY O'S FIGHT HERE). If interested in buying tickets go to either Bellator.com or go 'like' the 215MMA Facebook Page and send a message inquiring about tickets.

College Hockey:Notre Dame Tough Luck 3-2 Losers Against Miami
Eichenlaub Scores Twice For RedHawks
SOUTH BEND, Ind. — Freshman defenseman Raymond Eichenlaub scored two goals, the second with 6:31 left in the game, to lift No. 3-ranked Miami to a 3-2 win over Notre Dame in front of a sellout crowd of 2,763 at the Joyce Center on Saturday night.
The loss snapped Notre Dame's four-game unbeaten streak (2-0-2) and was the first loss for the Irish since Dec. 17 versus Lake Superior State. Wes O'Neill and Noah Babin scored power-play goals for Notre Dame while Matt Christie had the RedHawks third goal in the game.
The loss drops the Irish to 7-12-3 overall and 5-8-3 in CCHA play. Miami, ranked third in the nation and first in the CCHA, is now 15-4-4 on the year and 12-3-2 in league action.
The two teams each had 11 shots in a scoreless first period before the RedHawks scored first on a nice move by Christie on a breakaway at 8:50 of the second period. Defenseman Mitch Ganzak (two assists) started the play with a long pass from his blueline that was deflected at center ice by Taylor Hustead to a streaking Christie at the Irish blue line. Christie went in on Irish goaltender David Brown and slid the puck between his pads for his seventh goal of the year.
The Irish answered back just three minutes later when Wes O'Neill scored on the power play at 11:49. The Irish were able to move it from the point to the left wing boards and Erik Condra. Condra fed O'Neill in the slot, and the big defenseman blasted a shot past Miami goaltender Jeff Zatkoff for his fourth of the season, all coming on the power play.
"I was just working to find an open lane to the goal and (Erik) Condra made a good pass from the side to me," said O'Neill. "I found the lane and Evan Rankin had a nice screen in front and I just shot it."
Miami answered back just 1:22 later as Eichenlaub scored his first of the night and second of the year at 13:11. The freshman defenseman moved in from the right point, took a feed from behind the Notre Dame goal from Ryan Jones and beat Brown with a shot from the right circle to give the RedHawks a 2-1 lead after two periods of play.
The Irish kept working to get the equalizer in the third and finally cashed in with their second power-play goal on the night, this one by defenseman Noah Babin at 11:07 of the period. Senior Tim
Wallace took a shot from the left circle that Zatkoff turned away. The rebound bounced around in a maze of players in front and T.J. Jindra was able to keep it alive by pushing it towards the slot. Babin raced in from the right point and fired a shot past Zatkoff to tie the game at 2-2 with his third goal of the season.
The tie didn't last long, as Eichenlaub put the RedHawks ahead to stay at 13:29 of the final period. Ganzak picked up his second assist by carrying the puck behind the Irish net and toward the right
wing boards. Eichenlaub moved in from the right point, took the feed from the corner and flipped a shot at Brown that went through his pads for the game-winning goal.
On the night, Miami outshot the Irish by a 32-28 margin. Brown finished with 29 saves while Zatkoff had 26 for the RedHawks. Notre Dame was 2-for-11 on the power play while the Irish stopped all nine Miami power-play chances, giving Notre Dame a perfect weekend (17-17) killing penalties versus the RedHawks.
"The key for us now is to learn to find a way to win these close games," said O'Neill. "We've played better in the second half and Miami's a good team, you have to give them their due. Only getting one point this weekend gives us a bad feeling, but we have to take the good from this weekend and move on and keep playing hard next weekend at Northern Michigan."

Tosa West girls crush Messmer, 74-21
Trojans travel to Whitefish Bay for semis on Friday
Wauwatosa West's 74-21 WIAA regional quarterfinal win over Messmer on Tuesday at home was not the kind of game the Trojans needed to get ready for Friday's semifinal game at third-seeded Whitefish Bay.
The Trojans jumped off to a 33-8 lead at intermission against the Bishops, who finished the season with a 3-18 record. They came out in the second half complacent, but still put together a 23-6 third quarter and took a 56-14 lead into the final quarter.
"It's a good game because it gives you momentum, but it's a different mentality now," Tosa West coach Ashley Imperiale said. "(Friday is a) totally different style of basketball, a totally different team (Whitefish Bay).
Little things key
"It's hard in a game like this when I get upset at the girls when you look at the scoreboard. These (lack of rebounding, turnovers) are the little things that can hurt us on Friday. That makes it really hard. When you have 15-16 year olds they don't get that. A turnover here and there in a game where you're up by 30 vs. Friday when a mistake can make a difference in a possession."
Sophomore Abbey Jones got the Trojans off to a fast start, scoring eight of the Trojans' 16 first-quarter points. Tosa West actually ran off a stretch of 20 straight points from the 49-second mark of the first quarter to the 1 minute, 31 second mark of the second quarter.
Megan Wendelberger (five points), Jess Pike (four), Ashley Colebourne (four), Latasha Harmon (three), Jones (two) and Elise Ditscheit (two) all contributed to that run.
Despite the fact the Trojans came out on a 7-0 run to start the half, as Ditscheit scored five points and Pike two, on a pass from Ditscheit, Imperiale was not happy with her team's play.
Came out complacent
"I thought we came out complacent," she said. "We didn't have that mentality - instead of beating them by 30, let's beat them by 70. We don't have to do it to be mean. Let's just run our stuff. Get our open shots, just do those little things. That's where I got really irritated with them.
"I told them 'Don't look at the scoreboard anymore.' If you can't box out and Whitefish Bay gets two or three possessions, Whitefish Bay will take advantage of those two-three possessions. That's what we need to be thinking about. How can we get better. That was disappointing to see that we came out complacent and flat."
Jones led all scorers with 13 points, while Justice Hawkins scored 12 off the bench in a reserve role and Ditscheit had 10 and played a good floor game.

Descr. My view of the world as seen though the camera lens. On the street at the seaside, carnivals food is everywhere.
Photographs, to me, are like books; they can be either factual or fictional, with books I prefer fiction but with photographs I prefer fact. I feel that our images should record what we see and I hope that my own photos' will show you what I actually saw. One of my fa-vorite pastimes is to take photographs of what is happening on the streets. I like my street photographs to invoke curiosity in those who view them. I always try to capture images that show a relationship between individuals or people and their surroundings. You can only catch this sort of real life action out on the streets. Street photographers strive to capture the life & culture of the city streets, searching for what Cartier-Bresson, probably the most famous of the early street photographers, termed the "Decisive Moment". You go out with no real agenda, just your camera, hoping to get that one perfect shot, the brilliant moment that most of the time you just don't manage to achieve.

Product Reviews
The cost of the product saves the cost of a gardener to weed
This is a great product. Light and easy to use, makes the garden look really nice. It appears to keep the slugs away as well. I was very impressed with the speedy delivery. Not the cheapest product, but in my opinion it's worth every penny. I have only started using it quite recently so I will be interested to see the long term effect it has on my garden.
Strulch has really helped combatting weeds, snails and slugs. I covered all my beds with it and it has definitely made a big difference, but doesn't eradicate the problems completely. You do have to lay it on quite thickly and over time add more to cover up any patches which have become worn or bare, so I ended up buying more than I thought I would need. That being said, I will always use it again, it's much more effective than ordinary mulch or bark and is overall an excellent, easy-to-use product.

Featured Product - Strulch dual action mulch
Editor's Choice
Strulch was recommended to me by a reader and I have not been disappointed. It is mineralised wheat straw mulch that claims to reduce weed growth by up to 95%. It ticks all the boxes as it retains moisture, enriches the soil, offers protection to plants and deters slugs and snails. An organic product that is used by the Eden Project in Cornwall and RHS Wisley, it is lightweight to use and has a neutral pH so is suitable for ornamental and productive gardens. Can't find fault so it is my EDITORS CHOICE

In the powerful new report "Bad Information," Amnesty International and the Center for Environment, Human Rights and Development (CEHRD) reveal that Shell has manipulated investigations into its oil spills in Nigeria.
"Shell is being disingenuous about the devastation caused by its Niger Delta operations. This new evidence shows that Shell's claims about the oil spills cannot be trusted," said Audrey Gaughran, Director of Global Issues at Amnesty International.

EUGENE, Ore. -- Tyler Anderson scattered three hits over eight innings as the University of Oregon rode a four-run first to an efficient 5-0 win over Seattle University on a wet and cold Friday night at PK Park.
Oregon's southpaw starter improved to 3-1, striking out 11 Redhawks without issuing a walk in his second straight dominating start while running his scoreless inning streak to 16.
The Ducks (10-5) took advantage of a very shaky start by Seattle University right hander Blaine Jones (0-2), who issued five first-inning walks that led to four runs. Eddie Rodriguez started the UO offense with a two-run single and scored on a double by Steven Packard.
A ground ball by J.J. Altobelli brought in Packard before a two-out base on balls to Jett Hart chased Jones, who threw 46 pitches and allowed two hits in his 2/3 of an inning of work.
Reliever Brandon Kizer effectively shut down the Ducks the rest of the way, surrendering an unearned run on only two his over six innings, but Anderson had all the run support he needed to handle the Redhawks (2-9).
Joey Housey pitched a perfect ninth to preserved the Ducks' fifth straight victory and seventh in their last eight games.
The four hits in the game matched a season-low, but Oregon made up for that by drawing a season-high nine walks. Stephen Kaupang and Shawn Peterson had two walks apiece, and Jack Marder and Hart each had a hit and a walk.
Cullen Hendrickson, Nate Roberts and Phil Parrish accounted for SU's three base hits, all singles.
The two teams will play a doubleheader on Saturday, starting at 12 p.m. The first game will be nine innings and the second will be a seven-inning affair.
NOTES: The shutout was Oregon's second of 2010...Last year, UO's tenth win did not come until the 22nd game...Senior right handers Justin LaTempa (0-1, 1.69) and Zack Thornton (2-0, 3.63) are the scheduled starters for Saturday's twin bill...Friday's game was just the third home game of the season for the Ducks.

How can I set up my PC the Remote Desktop is enabled from the moment it is booted, regardless of who is logged on?
Currently, I have to open vino-preferences so I can access my PC from another computer. But if my wife then logs on, I can't see either my account or my wife's.
Can it be set up as a service, so it is enabled when I turn on the computer?

Here's Gwen Stefani enjoying a casual stroll in London with her family, wearing Converse Chuck Taylor All-Star Low Top Sneakers. It is irritating to no end that Gwen looks absolutely gorgeous even when it seems she literally rolled out a bed and assembled an outfit out of whatever happened to be lying on the floor. You can get Gwen's unisex sneakers for $50 at Bloomingdale's.
Converse sneaks have been a casual fave for celebs for decades now – though high-tops have been enjoying a bit of renaissance over the last few seasons, prompted mostly by the popularity of the mutant sneaker wedge trend. I wouldn't be at all surprised to see Gwen in a pair of the limited edition tartan Nikes we saw on Kelly Rowland just a few weeks ago.

Not a fan

About Me Beauty Conscious
Comments about Earth Sourced Moisturizer - 2 oz:
I use this as a night lotion since it doesn't have SPF. It goes a long way, which would be great if I liked the lotion. It seems to moisturize decently well. The main issue I have is it leaves a greasy residue on my face. I can feel it and it drives me nuts.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Favourite Moisturizer
By Lora
from Toronto, Canada
My absolute favourite moisturizer. It works like a charm and got rid of my facial eczema. No more doctor prescription creams, I have been free of those for months! I have super sensitive skin and this is amazing for it. It doesn't feel heavy, and moisturizes really well. My skin tone and texture has improved overall too.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Nice texture, but irritating and smelly
By Asha
from Los Angles, CA
About Me Minimalist
I was excited to try Earth Sourced night moisturizer because of its impressive ingredients, especially shea butter and a multitude of botanical oils which are all great for skin. I found the product to be a lovely texture--a mid-weight lotion, elegantly smooth and easy to apply to face without tugging at skin. It felt very light on skin, and soaked in fairly quickly. When first applied, my skin felt well hydrated.On the other hand, I found the scent to be really off-putting. This product contains linseed oil, and that is what I smell very strongly. It smells like a product used for oil painting rather than a cosmetic, and it is a bit sickening for anybody who might be sensitive to smells like this. The lotion stung in my sensitive areas, especially around my nose. The hydration had fairly good longevity, mostly lasting through the night, but my skin didn't feel as refreshed as it does with PC Resist Barrier Repair.Overall, I would not consider a full purchase of this product.
Not good
By Amber
from Norman, OK
I typically do not have sensitive skin. As soon as I put this product on, I could not get it off fast enough. It immediately made my skin burn and left a sticky gross residue. I am new at exploring Paula's Choice products and this makes me skeptical of the whole line.

great surprise
By LK
from Princeton, NJ
I am so glad I bought this moisturizer. I am long time customer and use happily many of Paula's choice products. This was a big surprise. I have combination skin and could't find a good solution for parts of my face with somewhat oily skin (still with some pores). This one is wonderful. It feels so good and breathable on my skin. Please continue making it !
Like Magic
By Evelynne
from PA
Okay so i tried the sampler specifically the moisturizer, but i have been using ta cleanser that my dermatologist gives me. it's been two years, he has given me a very very light cleansing gel .But still with my Combo Skin, my face gets easily red and dry on parts of my face. So he suggested over the counter creams that unfortunately did not work. (i don't have lot of money so he tries his best to work with my budget) Anyway, most creams would just lay on my skin and sometimes became more irritated. Paula's Choice Earth Sourced Moisturizer: What can i say? MORE LIKE WHAT CAN I NOT SAY?! it was and is like MAGIC. I had red flaky cheeks today and i put some on while looking in the mirror and BAM-it vanished VANISHED right in front of my eyes. I am so grateful for this product, i WILL be buying this. Now- I do notice a film like feel to it, BUT to me it's not a big deal if you have nowhere to go Or if you do, wash it off lightly and put foundation over it. I TRULY desire to five star this product because of how FAST it just took my redness away...BUT the film MAY be a concern to other types of makeup. (as a general concern to people) BUT THANK YOU SO MUCH !!!

Rich, Thick, and goes a long way.
By Gregory
from Dallas, TX
I got this to use as a night moisturizer because it is SPF free. This is the most perfect "Natural" or "Herbalist" moisturizer I have ever used. It was very rich and thick so I just used less of it, which resulted in it lasting quite a while for a tube of moisturizer.
By Emily
from Indianapolis, Indiana
I love this lotion. I have very finicky sensitive skin. If my face gets dry, I get hives; too oily, and I break out. This lotion is perfect for me. I used to use the hydralight and bought this on a whim. I have not went back to hydralight as this works every day for me regardless of the season. My toddler also has very sensitive skin and none of the baby approved lotions worked for him. This works well, without giving him a rash like the others.
Tacky finish but worth it
By Me333

Mildly Irritating
By DEbbie
from Macedonia, OH
I tried this moisturizer because I liked the sound of the ingredient list. I also ordered the Moisture Boost Hydrating Treatment Cream (which is phenomenal.) The Earth Sourced Moisturizer stung when I applied it. It goes on smoothly but it's almost too slippery and my skin felt a little dry shortly after applying. This is not my favorite Paula's Choice product.

Not quite moisturizing enough
By Katie
from So. CA
About Me Beauty Conscious, Minimalist
I have only tried a sample of this product, and I can say that a little goes a long way - I got 4 good applications out of the one sachet!I guess my skin must be drier than I think, as although I found this super lightweight lotion penetrating well, it didn't really leave my skin feeling soft to the touch. It just didn't moisturize my skin enough.I am really glad there are so many other choices here at Paula's - with some of the same, very skin healthy and effective ingredients, as I am sure I will find the best moisturizer for my skin.I would recommend this for someone with oily or combination skin type :)

great ingredients, weird finish
By BeanieJ
from St Louis, MO
I have to agree with another review I noticed. This does moisturize and the ingredients are fantastic, so good for the skin, but the finish is annoying. It leaves a film on the face which makes it feel like you have a layer of wax on. This waxy feeling fades after an hour or two but in the meantime it feels really bad. On the plus side it is moisturizing without being greasy and it has no funky odors. It also spreads easily so a little drop will cover the whole face.
By AmherstWolf
from Amherst, VA
About Me Minimalist, Natural, Sensitive Skin
I use this lotion morning and night every day as part of my daily routine. It is very soothing, absobs very well and leaves no greasy residue. My skin is still generally on the dry side, especially in winter and this lotion moisturizes very well without feeling heavy and clogging pores. I have been using Paula's Choice products exclusively for over a year now. My skin has improved so much that this moisturizer has now become my 'go to' product; replacing the heavier Resist Cellular moisturizer I had been and which is also very good.

The Best for Sensitive Skin EVER
By DC
from Canada
I have used every single Paula moisturizer and this is the best most gentle non-film forming one there is! It is my top two fave products in the whole PC line. I use allover and around my eyes and it takes away bumps, irritation, and redness and also is great as a base for make-up. I would not be without this. Please PC never reformulate!

Forms film
By Alexis
from Birmingham, AL
I really like this, but I forms a really weird film that rubs off when I touch my face that makes it impossible to wear under make up. I worry it's not absorbing well either, which really sucks because I love the smell and the feel of this, and the ingredients are awesome.

My Holy Grail Moisturizer.
By Ann
from Kansas
This is my favorite moisturizer of all time, and I have tried them all!! I have oily skin and am starting to get a few wrinkles. This does not bother my oily skin at all, I would call it a 'light' moisturizer. So many things to love, packed with antioxidants, and it soaks into my skin very well without leaving a film. Some moisturizers for oilier skin can make your skin feel dry after a few hours, but this one soaks in and my skin feel supple for hours after I apply it. I use it day and night, Love it love it love it!!!
Too sheer, not enough moisture
By H.
from Seattle
Wanted a natural product as an every day moisturizer. Was hoping that the shea butter would make this a rich, creamy feel. It's not. It's very light, sheer and somewhat "wet" instead of a cream. It goes on wet and disappears immediately. I don't feel like I got much moisture out of it, or that it would last all day. I guess for myself, I'm looking for something a little heavier weight and all purpose. Non-irritating though, which is good.
Clogged Pores
By Ladybiker
from Phoenix, AZ
About Me Prefer Natural Ingredient
I used this in the mornings after cleansing, toning, and exfoliation, and before applying mineral makeup. I liked the way it applied smoothly and absorbed well. A little goes a long way. Unfortunately, after using the product daily for over 3 weeks I began to notice more and increasingly larger whiteheads and blackheads, spreading from on and around my nose, to my chin, forehead, and even my cheeks. The blackhead plugs seem solid and waxy. Gross. I began using an all-natural clay mask every 2-3 days to attempt to draw out the plugs, but it did not seem to help. ~ I don't know which ingredient(s) caused the reaction, but I can't use the product any longer. I will try using it as a body moisturizer until the product is used up. Hopefully, the rest of my skin will not have a bad reaction.

Good for oily skin
By Danielle H.
from Undisclosed
It's quite light and feels good on the skin. In my opinion, it's definitely not moisturising enough for dry skin but it works well for oily skin. That being said I initially applied a lot thinking I needed more but the excess just ends up as waste so I've learned to use only a pea sized amount. If I need extra moisture I use another cream on those select dry patches that need it.
By Kim W.
I have very sensitive combination skin prone to breakouts. Normally after applying mosturizer my skin becomes a little red. Not the case with this. So gentle on my skin, light weight, and left my face soft and supple. This is the best mosturizer I have ever used. I use it day and night.

loved at first
By ashly r
I loved this at first but I stoped using it because it always burned around my nose (not because of scent) also my redness calmed down when I stoped using it. I'm kind of torn I like my other cheaper lotion better now but I do love this company.

My favourite PC product.
By Katherine N.
Among all of PC products, this is my fave. Feels so good on the skin.The only con is it is just waaay too small.
Good but not for a very dry face
By Jessica S.
This product was good however, I have dry skin and to get this product to work I had to add way too much for each application. Sometimes it wouldn't help my dry skin no matter how much I put on. It spread nicely and I enjoyed the the way it felt on my skin. It just didn't hydrate my face enough.

Love it
By Anonymous
I can't use most moisturizers because a common ingredient (cetyl alcohol and cetearyl alcohol) break me out. This stuff is a godsend. It was the only normal moisturizer (not a gel) that didn't contain those problem ingredients. I hope Paula's Choice doesn't discontinue this product... or I'll be 'S.O.L.'! I find it moisturizing enough and I only use a tiny drop of the stuff for my whole face. I should note that I use a facewash that does not dry out my skin so I don't need super moisture.

Member of the reality-based community of progressive (not anonymous) Massachusetts blogs
By now, you've probably seen all three lying scumbag ads from Scott Brown tripling down on the Cherokee heritage thing. In it, he outright lies, since there is evidence that Warren did NOT get ahead because of her listing herself in a lawyer's directory as having Native blood, and there no evidence whatsoever that she did get ahead. Yet the ads say over and over "she got ahead" because of it. (The ONLY argument you can make is that Harvard, for a time, "got ahead" by listing her a female minority briefly. However, Warren was hired by then, and she had nothing to do with that. To accuse her of "lying to get ahead" is to A) assume she is lying about her heritage that was passed down by her parents, and B) that everyone and everything that has come out about how she never used this to get her jobs is lying. Occam's Razor, people.)
You might have also seen the latest ad where Brown attacks her work on the asbestos case he has been bringing up over and over at debates. He selectively pulled out quotes from the Globe which were seriously out of context, and distorted the truth to the point of lying again.
This is the result of having a Karl Rove acolyte running your campaign. Everyone remembers the swiftboating of John Kerry - lying about his war record, taking what is a big strength of Kerry's and making it an albatross around his neck. It became so synonymous with Karl Rove tactic it became its own verb.
I think the voters of Massachusetts deserve way better than Karl Rovian, swiftboating lying scummy campaigns. And so do the people affected by the asbestos lawsuit against Travelers…not a one of the victims, workers, or any other person on the victim's side of that lawsuit from Travelers has said anything but positive things on Warren's role in the case, preserving future victims' rights to sue and get compensated. The "disastrous results" Brown quotes in his ad are from long after Warren left the case, in a decision that Warren utterly disagrees with (vacating the payments).
So also say the Asbestos Workers Local 6. If Warren indeed was on the side of wrong on the asbestos case, these are the people you would think would be applauding Brown for his attacks and highlighting of this issue. Instead, they are calling on Brown to pull his ad immediately for being a lie. Via BMG, their open letter (bold mine):
Dear Senator Brown:
At your first debate with Elizabeth Warren, you accused her of siding with Travelers Insurance Company to deny people with asbestos poisoning their benefits and added, "I hope all the Asbestos Union Workers are watching right now."
As the Business Manager of Asbestos Workers Local 6 – which represents 450 asbestos workers in Massachusetts – I can attest that many of us were watching and were shocked and upset by your mischaracterizations and politicization of this serious issue. We were also disappointed to see your totally unsupported and unsupportable subsequent allegation that asbestos victims "have died as a result of her efforts," as well as to see you repeating these false attacks in your second debate and in a new false, misleading, and offensive television attack advertisement.
The truth is that Elizabeth Warren represented Travelers at a time when the company was on the same side as a vast majority of asbestos victims. Elizabeth fought for a principle that most asbestos victims agree with strongly: that settlement trusts are an important part of the law and should be continued to be used. To say otherwise is either ignorant of the facts or a cynical lie designed to trick people to vote for you.
Mesothelioma is a type of cancer caused by asbestos exposure. There is no cure for mesothelioma and the average life expectancy from diagnosis is generally from six to eighteen months. In our union, many of us have watched family members and or friends suffer and die painful deaths from this horrible disease.
We think it is inappropriate of you to use misleading personal attacks to distract people from your record against working families in Massachusetts, and we think it is offensive for you to campaign on the backs of suffering mesothelioma victims to win votes.
We would like to request a meeting to discuss this issue with you further as soon as possible and certainly before the next debate on Oct. 10, and before you make more false attacks. We are indeed watching your comments on this and other issues and have a keen interest in them.

Anyone wanna take the bet that Brown will meet with them or pull his ads? Didn't think so.
If you haven't already had your "duuuuuh" moment, please watch this. If simple freaking facts can't sway you, then nothing can, except maybe if god talks to you or something. I'm told he does to Rick Perry.
I'd like to give a shout out to all my tea partying pals. I hope you told the birthers to go pound sand.
I digress:
Former Fed Chairman Alan Greenspan is stepping up his call for Congress to let the Bush-era tax cuts lapse.
In an appearance Sunday on ABC's "Meet the Press," Mr. Greenspan used his strongest words yet to urge lawmakers to let them expire. The risk of a U.S. debt crisis, he said, is just too big. Mr. Greenspan, who retired from the Federal Reserve in 2006, had endorsed the cuts back in 2001 championed by then-President George W. Bush.
"This crisis is so imminent and so difficult that I think we have to allow the so-called Bush tax cuts all to expire. That is a very big number," he said, referring to how much the U.S. government could save from letting income taxes go back up to levels last seen under former President Bill Clinton. -snip
Of course, we know that POTUS will poo poo this to some degree 'cause he has his very own 'read my lips'-esque campaign speak that draws a line at $250,000+/-. So, there is that.
Data, being ambivalent, only offers this guidance: Top 1% pay 28% of federal income taxes, and earn 23% of all income.
And finally, where is the rally that squawks about the $880/month I'm dolling out for crappy health insurance we can't afford to use? Can I see a single payer plan that would spike my taxes by $5000? I'd be saving money then.
This will probably be just a blip on the news, but it should be screamed from the rooftops: the Supreme Court has overturned the ability of government to regulate the political spending of corporations. If you thought your politicians were bought and sold on the open market under the current flawed loopholes of campaign finance, you ain't seen nothing yet. This is a big deal, folks.
The premise of conservative judges to rule this way is the application of the "free speech" provisions of our Constitution, which they say corporations have a right to. This is because under precedence, corporations are considered to have "personhood" - one of the most terrible rulings ever made, by the way.
And also patently not true. We completely block the free speech of corporations all the time. For instance, cigarette companies - they are banned from advertising on any broadcast or cable medium, and a lot of print mediums. A bit of a curb on those corporations' free speech, don't you think? But you don't see that being overturned in the Supreme Court. Just political speech. WTF?
I've long said that the danger in the Bush conservative court was not the threat to choice, or other social liberties we've enjoyed. It is in the extremely pro-corporate background and history of these people Bush put on the Court during his term that would kill us.
Just to add: The Court says this is about Freedom of Speech. But given the concentration of wealth into corporations, some people's speech is more important than others.
Also, I think this is a good point by Pogo in comments:
So David, as our resident legal scholar, and this is a serious question and the serious answer depends on what the majority opinion says, but could this lead to stronger criminal sanctions against companies and executives that break the law?
Instead of the usual fines and civil penalties, now that corporations are granted the same rights as people (as absurd as that sounds) it seems they should face similar penalties people face when we break the laws society creates. So instead of Exxon paying a fine of $100 million for breaking the law, the chairman of the board does six months in jail…or the company is sentenced to one month of not being able to conduct business in the jurisdiction where the law as broken? Yes, these are crazy thoughts, but no crazier than this ruling.
Here's living proof that its demise was prematurely declared.
Here's what we have learned about the interrogation of detainees, torture, and the big reason, why.
The truth is that when the CIA didn't give Cheney the info he wanted about an Iraq-al Qaeda connection, he marginalized the agency:
In the initial stages of the war on terror, Tenet's CIA was rising to prominence as the lead agency in the Afghanistan war. But when Tenet insisted in his personal meetings with the president that there was no connection between Al Qaeda and Iraq, Cheney and Rumsfeld initiated a secret program to re-examine the evidence and marginalize the agency and Tenet. Through interviews with DoD staffers who sifted through mountains of raw intelligence, FRONTLINE details how questionable intelligence was "stovepiped" to the vice president and presented to the public.
So who thinks Pelosi isn't telling the truth? Most people should believe she is in this her-versus-them moronic debate. Occam's razor demands it, given everything that we know about the situation, don't you think?
And yet, the media sheeples have once again, with rare exception, given in to the right wing bitch and moan brigade and now we have a slipping of the approval rates for the leader of the Democratic party in the US House.
Constant vigilance, people, these liars and cheaters are not done with this country yet.

One sure sign that the village is about to ignore reality is when it asserts anything about the desires of Americans. As Greenwald pointed out today:
One of the most common and most corrosive aspects of our political discourse is the endless assertions — based on nothing — about what "Americans believe. It is exceedingly conventional wisdom that Americans generally view the world through the prism of Jack Bauer and therefore want our government to torture, want Guantanamo kept opened, and do not want suspected Terrorists to be tried in civilian courts inside the U.S. It is even more commonly asserted that Americans do not want, and even further, would never tolerate, criminal investigations into the various crimes of Bush officials."
Turns out that there is polling on these questions, and the American people seem to have missed the memo from the village about what they are supposed to believe. Of course the polling is phrased to try and push them toward village conformity, but alas the village is doomed to be disapointed (that is if they really cared if their claims about American opinion had any basis in truth).
Greenwald has the details but here are some hits:
By a wide margin — 58-40% — Americans say that torture should never be used, no matter the circumstances.
Moreover, a majority of Americans (53-42%) favor the closing of Guantanamo,…
…a majority of Americans (50-47%) believe that the Obama administration should investigate whether the Bush administration's treatment of detainees was illegal.
Americans would have opposed (52-42%) the issuance of pardons by Bush to those "who carried out his administration's policy on the treatment of terrorism suspects."
I guess it turns out that Americans get, unlike Fox, that Jack Bauer is as advertised… entertaining fiction. Of course the village will no doubt go on misunderestimating American opinion. They will claim insight into 'conventional wisdom' and assert that these majority views are actually only the opinion of the far left.
One can hope now that those who dismissed anyone that was 'reality based' are out of office, real reality might begin permeate the consciousness (and conscience) of the village.
At long last, our eight-year national nightmare is over. I can't tell you just how these two terms have dragged. Or maybe they have for you, too.
Things I thank "President" Bush for:
1) Making being smart seem cool again. No one could ever think having a national figure talk like a hillbilly moron is impressive ever, going forward. The fact is, we voted overwhelmingly for President-Elect (until noon tomorrow!) Obama because, above all else, he was pretty much the smartest guy in the pack. It feels good to be smart! (Now, if we could translate that to local governing we'd all be better off…)
2) Getting myself, and millions of others, active again in politics. It took a complete fuckup to do it, but you will now get to watch the younger generation (those who are just now coming into voting age or have in the last six years) become voting, campaigning, citizens - many of whom will themselves run for office. Not only that, but by and large, they will be lifelong liberals. The Republican party lost a whole generation of voters, and if you think their electoral woes are bad now, just wait a bit, as the old conservatives die off and the GenY'ers begin to make up a larger segment of the voting population.
My own awakening came on the eve of the Iraq war. I have long been a digester of political news and information, especially since age 20, when I met Mr. Lynne with his geeky wonkishness. But before Bush, I never did more than vote (which I did religiously, as it was instilled in me by my family), even though I always knew what was going on. That was what made the Iraq war an anathema - I knew, being an informed citizen, that it was all bull. Smoke and mirrors. I was enraged by my government.
From peace activism (which after a few years felt like a futile effort - even if you get 75% of the American people at your side, still Bush didn't get a rat's you-know-who), to campaigning and knocking on doors for candidates, to blogging, I will never be the same rather-apathetic voter again. I take my job as citizen very seriously now, and it's all thanks to trust-fund moron boy.
3) Though I'd rather we hadn't, I thank Bush for going so far down the neo-conservative domestic and foreign policy path that it showcased what an EPIC FAIL such adherence towards deregulation, government handouts for the rich and big business, and empire building brings to a nation. The military arrogance of our leadership, the borrowing of money from an oppressive Communist nation to finance our buying of that same country's (often shoddy) products, all these things are not progressive values. They are stupid, right-wing, pro-business values.
The fact is, the people who have done the most damage to the conservative agenda are the conservatives. Let's hope it lasts a generation or more! Here's to another era like the one pre-Raygun - decades of relative economic stability and upward mobility via progressive policies. Smart ones; I am not saying every liberal idea of the last century was the best one in every case. But the failure of the alternative (conservatism) to continue such prosperity cannot now be discounted.
This is the last contemporary post with the category "Bush Administration." Though I still hope I get to use the category postmortem, if only Congress and the Justice Department will do its job and investigate the abuses of the last eight years. We cannot let such precedent stand. That would be a grave mistake.
Only a few more months, let's see how much damage Paulson can do on his way out the door to sabotage Obama's chances of fixing this economic nightmare. Sigh.
And AIG is dipping its hands into the pot again. Why aren't more heads rolling?
January-freakin'-20 can't come fast enough for me. Obama already has a plan to make it seem like the Bush years never happened.
Update: Regular dkos economic writer Jerome a Paris has more. Go read. Then be prepared to upchuck your breakfast.
John is right, this is damned creepy. Blast from the past from The Onion, where "Bush assured… that 'our long national nightmare of peace and prosperity is finally over.'"
Mere days from assuming the presidency and closing the door on eight years of Bill Clinton, president-elect George W. Bush assured the nation in a televised address Tuesday that "our long national nightmare of peace and prosperity is finally over."
President-elect Bush vows that "together, we can put the triumphs of the recent past behind us."
"My fellow Americans," Bush said, "at long last, we have reached the end of the dark period in American history that will come to be known as the Clinton Era, eight long years characterized by unprecedented economic expansion, a sharp decrease in crime, and sustained peace overseas. The time has come to put all of that behind us."
Bush swore to do "everything in [his] power" to undo the damage wrought by Clinton's two terms in office, including selling off the national parks to developers, going into massive debt to develop expensive and impractical weapons technologies, and passing sweeping budget cuts that drive the mentally ill out of hospitals and onto the street.
During the 40-minute speech, Bush also promised to bring an end to the severe war drought that plagued the nation under Clinton, assuring citizens that the U.S. will engage in at least one Gulf War-level armed conflict in the next four years.
"You better believe we're going to mix it up with somebody at some point during my administration," said Bush, who plans a 250 percent boost in military spending. "Unlike my predecessor, I am fully committed to putting soldiers in battle situations. Otherwise, what is the point of even having a military?"
On the economic side, Bush vowed to bring back economic stagnation by implementing substantial tax cuts, which would lead to a recession, which would necessitate a tax hike, which would lead to a drop in consumer spending, which would lead to layoffs, which would deepen the recession even further.
Wall Street responded strongly to the Bush speech, with the Dow Jones industrial fluctuating wildly before closing at an 18-month low. The NASDAQ composite index, rattled by a gloomy outlook for tech stocks in 2001, also fell sharply, losing 4.4 percent of its total value between 3 p.m. and the closing bell.
This is incredible. Matt Stoller (as seen on dkos) writes that some intrepid bloggers got onto a private (secret?) conference call between Wall St execs and Treasury officials.
The 'Treasury boys' on the call made it clear that "the tranching is a mere formality, and the Treasury boys as much as said so. They could take the $700 billion max as soon as the bill has passed." That was always obvious.
And they admitted that "the exec comp provisions sound like a joke, They DO NOT affect existing contracts, they affect only contracts entered into during the two years of the authority of this program and then affect only golden parachutes." Both of these provisions were 'concessions' sought by Democrats. Of course, no one could have predicted this bill's 'concessions' to Democrats were farcical. No one at all.
Make no mistake. The bill as it stood was mostly Paulson's blank check with some Caesar dressing. Unfortunately, there is a gun pointed at our heads to do something, anything, to restore confidence and credit flow to the market, even if it hoses the taxpayer and mortgages (the subprime kind) our future.
Bush-Cheney will go down as THE worst economic president in history. He already had that distinction on foreign policy, and his economics have sucked, but this rivals the mistakes made pre-Great Depression. Thanks, Republicans. Thanks, George W. Frak Me Bush.

Crackdown on Threats in Schools Fails a Test
By KATE ZERNIKE
Published: May 17, 2001
MANALAPAN, N.J., May 15 — Just weeks after the school shootings in March in Santee, Calif., the county prosecutor here met with local school superintendents and emphasized the need for zero tolerance. There is no gray area, he told them. Any student who makes a threat, even in jest, must be disciplined.
The schools obeyed, fast and furiously.
A 10-year-old girl who whimpered, "I could kill her!" after she wet her pants because a teacher had refused to let her go to the bathroom was suspended for three days. A 10-year- old who muttered, "I oughtta murder his face!" when someone left his desk in disarray got the same punishment.
The suspensions — at least 50 in the last six weeks, compared with almost none last year — were meted out mostly to children in kindergarten to third grade, in many cases for repeating expressions they had heard their parents use at home.
All those suspended, including kindergartners, now have police files in their names.
Parents reacted to the suspensions with outrage, hiring lawyers to defend their children. Confronted by the anger, the Manalapan-Englishtown school board said tonight that it would stop the automatic suspensions and return decisions about discipline to teachers and principals. Board members said they would vote next week to review the police file for every suspended child and expunge any records if the punishment seemed unfair. A policy that looked good on paper, they said, had not worked well in practice.
"I don't think anybody envisioned this — the prosecutor's office, the superintendent, the principals," said James Mumolie, the school board president.
What happened in this solidly middle-class town shows some of the pitfalls of a post-Columbine era, when no officials want to be caught without the strictest of policies should a shooting occur at their school, and when parents, including many in Manalapan, demand toughness.
Now the same parents complain that schools are going so far as to trample on civil rights. "They're suspending babies, babies, for saying things they hear everywhere they go," said Wanda Minken, a parent of three elementary school students in Manalapan who said her children have not been suspended, "yet."
"It's McCarthyism, that's what this is," Mrs. Minken said. "These are kids who've never even had lunch detention."
About 90 percent of school systems nationwide have what they call zero- tolerance policies for violence or threats, according to the United States Department of Education. Few have enforced them as strictly as Manalapan, but more and more are learning the lesson that Manalapan has.
In February, the American Bar Association passed a resolution opposing zero-tolerance policies, saying they have "redefined students as criminals." Among the harsher cases, they cited a Louisiana boy who was suspended for two days after warning his peers in the lunch line not to eat all the potatoes or "I'm gonna get you!" The school board in West Windsor, N.J., let up on its zero- tolerance policy last fall after a furor over the suspension of a 9-year-old boy who had threatened to shoot a wad of paper with a rubber band.
Similarly, the federal Department of Education's Office of Safe and Drug-Free Schools warns against the policies and is planning to release a new handbook, written with the Secret Service, on how to evaluate threats better.
Those urging less strictness point out that school violence is down by 30 percent in the last decade, that students are still more likely to be hit by lightning than to be killed in school. Studies have shown that zero-tolerance policies suspend disproportionate numbers of black students.
Zero tolerance was originally applied to gun possession when President Bill Clinton signed the Gun Free Schools Act in 1994. But many schools adopted the same stance toward threats, especially after a student fatally shot 2 other students and injured 13 at Santana High School in Santee in March, an incident that sparked a spate of copycat shootings and threats nationwide.
Manalapan, a suburb of tidy subdivisions and large lawns an hour's drive south of New York City, is the kind of town, parents say, where sport utility vehicles and minivans clog the streets on parent-teacher conference nights. Last year, parents at the elementary schools pressed the school board to make sure no intruders entered the buildings, which prompted the schools to require that visitors be buzzed in.
So the letter that went home in April did not surprise them.
"The decision on whether or not to report a threat does not belong to the school official," said the letter, which was signed by the superintendents of the seven elementary school districts that feed into the Freehold Regional High School District as well the Freehold superintendent. "He/ she must report all threats to the police, who, in turn, must notify the prosecutor's office," the note said. "Consequences may result in fines, jail time, or other penalties."
No incidents of violence were reported last year, said Robert Weiner, the assistant superintendent, nor could anyone remember any. "In our world today, that's really quite amazing," he said. "It's a pretty harmless type of place. But then you look at a place like Columbine — who would expect this to happen there? A Columbine isn't that dissimilar to a Manalapan. The parents react to that, the schools react to the parents."

It has just been announced that Romain Guilbaud has been honoured by the Geological Society of London. He will receive one of the Society's two President's Awards at a ceremony in Burlington House on 13 June 2012. The award is a personal 'gift' from the President, Bryan Lovell, and is made to scientists younger than 30.
Romain's research in the School's Geosciences Group focuses on the co-evolution of life and the planet in its early history just before hard-bodied creatures evolved (the Neoproterozoic – 1000-540 million years ago). He works on the evolving redox state of the ocean, including links to nutrient availability and oxygen production, on which life as we know it depends.

Dear Delialah,
Would you please share your opinion on eating raw foods? I understand that unprocessed food is healthier because the nutrients are not cooked and broken down, but is an uncooked carrot really so much healthier than a cooked carrot? Some raw foodist I've spoken to claim a cooked carrot has no more nutrients than a cooked hamburger. Is this true?
Michael Perria, Charlotte
Hi Michael,
Thanks for your question. While it is true that many of the nutrients are destroyed during the cooking process, the key factor in raw food is the digestive enzymes. Our body needs enzymes to break down the foods we eat. When food is cooked, it loses the majority of its enzymes, and our bodies are forced to develop our own enzymes in order to digest the food, a process that taxes the immune system, overworks all our major organs and exhausts our energy supply. Uncooked, raw foods have all the digestive enzymes intact, and the food is broken down naturally, in a fraction of the time it would take for our body to digest cooked food.
In regards to the immune system, scientists discovered back in the early 1900's that after consuming a meal, the body reacts with a large boost in white blood cells, much like it does during an infection, stress or inflammation. Further research proved that after consuming raw foods in their unaltered state, the body did not respond with the production of white blood cells, thus proving that cooked foods elicit an immune response. An overactive immune system is the culprit behind autoimmune disorders such as Lupus and asthma, in which the body begins to attack itself because of an immune system that has gone haywire.
The answer to your question then, is both yes and no. While it is not true that a cooked carrot, rich in beta carotene and antioxidants, has an equal nutrient content to a hamburger, in terms of digestive enzymes, a cooked carrot and a cooked hamburger are equivalent to one another.
If you are new to the raw food scene and are looking to explore a raw meal, make a trip over to Real Food Charlotte, a vegetarian and raw food café located on South Boulevard in Charlotte.

White Sulphur Springs, W. Va. -- New Orleans Saints coach Sean Payton and general manager Mickey Loomis will address the media Thursday afternoon at the team's facility at The Greenbrier.
There may not be as many looming questions with the Saints leading into the team's first training camp practice Friday morning. But issues like the health of safety Jairus Byrd and wide receiver Joe Morgan and the job races at center, cornerback and kicker will be at the forefront as camp commences.
Saints beat writer Evan Woodbery and I will give live play by play of this afternoon's press conference, which is scheduled to begin at 4:45 p.m., in the comments section below.
