The first laboratory confirmation that the Big Bang theory is absolutely correct was reported at the Helmholtz-Zentrum Dresden-Rossendorf website on Aug. 27, 2014. Dr. Michael Anders and an international team of scientists are the first to show that the amount of lithium produced under laboratory conditions that reproduce the conditions that existed moments after the Big Bang occurred are in agreement with the theoretical amount of lithium that should be produced. The research also brings into question recent observations of higher than normal amounts of lithium in some stars.
The Big Bang began with hot plasma containing protons, neutrons, electrons and all the subatomic particles that make up matter. The basic particles of matter are thought to have collided with each other at sufficient speeds to produce low atomic weight elements including lithium. The process is called primordial nucleosynthesis.
The astrophysicists fired helium nuclei at deuterium at the Laboratory for Underground Nuclear Astrophysics (LUNA) in the Gran Sasso Mountain in Italy. The conditions of heat and speed of the atomic particles produced by the collision are considered to replicate conditions that existed shortly after the Big Bang. The amount of lithium produced was in agreement with theoretical amounts as proposed by the Big Bang theory.
The findings are in agreement with observations from stars in the Milky Way that contain only one-half of the lithium that is expected based on the Big Bang predictions. Previous experiments that were designed to find a different isotope of lithium also failed to produce the amount of lithium expected. Those experiments were conducted at the same facility. The researchers plan to have their work confirmed by other facilities.
Some people may claim that this work proves the Big Bang is an absolute fact . In reality the research proves one part of the Big Bang concept can be replicated in laboratory conditions but not observed in space. Every theory undergoes refinement over time and the Big Bang is no exception.

Palm Beach, Fla. - New Orleans Saints Coach Sean Payton, staring at a one year suspension from the game he loves because of the bounty scandal, allowed Tuesday he's still wrapping his mind around the punishment he has received from NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell. But Payton carefully noted he is not complaining.
"You go through a range of emotions that kind of hit you," he said. "You're disappointed, you're disappointed in yourself that it got to this point. And then I think we're trained as coaches to begin preparation right away and I find myself reflecting on it and you go through a lot of emotions.
"Certainly you take lumps and I've taken them before, but I look forward to getting back and I look forward to winning and being successful and being a part of it," Payton said in the lobby of The Breakers hotel. "I think the biggest challenge is, you know, driving in here this morning this will probably be, 39 years, you know as a Pop Warner player, as a high school player, a college player and then a college coach, professional coach, this potentially is the first of 39 years where you're not directly involved in football for a season. But that being said, I look forward to getting back to this position, I look forward to winning and we'll do that.
"They've been difficult, challenging," he said of the six days since Goodell slammed the Saints with suspensions, lost draft pick and a hefty fine. "It's interesting, you find out how close some of your friends are and I said this in our statement our fans back in New Orleans have been amazing. My peers, guys that I'm very close with in this league, the players on our team, really it's like a family and so that's the thing that gets you through something like this."
Since the NFL announced the Saints employed a bounty system from 2009 to 2011 that paid cash bonuses for plays seeking to injure opponents - a thing neither Payton nor any Saints players have specifically admitted - it has become clear 'pay for performance' schemes are not unusual in the NFL. Goodell acknowledged that fact Monday.
Payton insisted no player was seriously injured as a result of the Saints plan, but he said he doesn't see that as a mitigating factor in the scandal. And he's not entertaining the notion he has paid a steep price for behavior that, if not widespread, is far from uncommon.
"No, I accept this," he said. "I've heard that argument and I think trying to really look closely at how we and how I can improve has been probably a better way for me to handle this than to try to vent or look outwardly at other programs and I've tried to take that approach."

The Road
by Cormac McCarthy
The Road Sections 71-80 Summary
How It All Goes Down
Section 71
- The Man decides they have to leave: the waterfall might attract other people, and it's getting colder every day. The Boy, who likes the waterfall, doesn't want to leave.
- They take a look at the map. They'll follow the state roads east. (Tellingly, the word "state" doesn't mean anything to The Boy.)
Section 72
- The come across "a tractor-trailer jackknifed sideways across" a bridge (72.1).
Section 73
- Through the bridge's ironwork they can see the rapids below them.
Section 74
- The Man climbs into the truck's cab. There's not much there: an empty glovebox, magazines, damp mattresses.
- It starts raining.
Section 75
- They sleep in the cab. The Man asks The Boy what he thinks is in the trailer.
- The Man figures there's a hatch on top. He climbs up the hood of the truck, over the windshield, and onto the trailer.
Section 76
- The Man finds "a skylight about a third of the way down the roof" (76.1).
- He lights a magazine and tosses it into the trailer. The flame illuminates the trailer's contents: "[d]ried and shrunken" human bodies (76.1).
Section 77
- They camp on a ridge. It storms and The Boy clings to The Man.
Section 78
- When The Man wakes, it's still dark.
- He walks along the ridge and sees a smoky haze over the valley. He walks back to camp.
- He sees the blue "tarp lit from within where the boy had wakened. Sited there in the darkness [. . .] it looked like the pitch of some last venture at the edge of the world" (78.1).
Section 79
- They keep traveling on the road.
- There's smoke everywhere from the forest fire. The soft road, where the fire crossed, sucks at their shoes.
Section 80
- They go ahead and set up camp. (They're waiting for the road to cool since someone could follow their tracks in the tar.)
- When they return to the "melted roadway," they find a fresh set of tracks (80.1). Someone passed them in the night.

The Free Application for Federal Student Aid (known as the FAFSA) is a form that can be submitted annually by current and prospective college students in the U.S. to determine their eligibility for federal student financial aid (including Pell Grants, work-study programs, and loans). All U.S. citizens, permanent residents, and eligible non-U.S. citizens must submit a FAFSA, in order to be able to provide HSF with a Student Aid Report. If you meet the residency criteria previously mentioned and do not file a FAFSA, you are ineligible for HSF scholarships.
The U.S. Department of Education starts accepting FAFSA applications January 1st of each year, for the upcoming academic year. For more information and eligibility requirements, click here.
*Please note that you can apply for financial aid before you file your taxes. Corrections to your (FAFSA) application can always be submitted after you and/or your parents have filed for taxes and/or after the FAFSA has been submitted
The Student Aid Report (also known as SAR) is a report of your responses on the FAFSA by the U.S. Department of Education, once the FAFSA application has been processed. The SAR contains information the student provided on the FAFSA as well as the resulting federally calculated Expected Family Contribution (EFC). The financial aid office of the student's institution will use the information contained in the SAR in order to determine the student's eligibility for federal student aid programs. HSF uses the EFC, as well as the student's financial aid package, to determine the student's financial need. For more information about the SAR, click here. For guidance on how to download your Student Aid Report (SAR) from FAFSA, click here.
HSF requires DACA students who do not qualify for the FAFSA as a result of immigration status, to apply for their state's financial aid program, if available. Scholarships applicants from particular states that have state financial aid programs available to DACA students must submit a copy of their state's version of a State Student Aid Report to HSF. If you are a DACA student and your state of residence does not permit you to apply to your state's financial aid program, such as the CA Dream Act you can still apply for HSF scholarships. For more information about state financial aid programs for undocumented students, click here.
As soon as it becomes available, please upload your entire Student Aid Report (SAR) in PDF format to your "Document Bank," located in your scholarship application, accessible via your MyHSF profile. For guidance on how to download your Student Aid Report (SAR) from FAFSA, click here.
After you submit your application for financial aid, you will receive a financial aid award letter/offer from the college(s) that you were admitted to and that you listed on your financial aid application, typically in early to mid-April. This letter outlines the details of your financial at that institution. Note, your financial aid letter/offer may also be contained within your college/institutional portal. A financial aid package is a collection of different types of financial assistance from multiple sources (federal, state and from the institution) and different types (grants, scholarships, loans, and work-study). It is intended to help you pay for college costs, or the cost of attendance (COA). For more information about financial aid award letters click here. An example of a financial aid award letter can be found by clicking here.
HSF acknowledges that every student has a unique financial situation. As a result, HSF customizes scholarship awards based on a careful assessment of remaining student need after all other financial aid is calculated.
If this is the first year you will be attending your institution, you will have received a financial aid award letter/offer from your college either in the mail or via your online student portal. If you are a returning student, you will typically be able to find your financial aid award letter/offer via your online student portal. If you are having trouble locating your financial aid award letter/offer, please consult with your financial aid department at your college/university.
You will need to upload your FAAL to your document bank, which you can access by logging into your application. If your document is in paper form, please scan and upload. If your document can only be accessed through your student portal (online) then you may print, scan and upload or take clear screen shots, save the images in one of our supported file types and upload. The supported file types are PDF, JPG, JPEG and PNG with a maximum file size of 5MB.
Note: Acceptance letters, tuition bills and directions on how to access your student portal will not be accepted.
HSF requires students to submit a financial aid award letter from the four-year college/university or graduate school that the applicant will be attending during the 2016-2017 academic year.
If requested, you must submit your financial aid award letter/offer to HSF including graduate and students under Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA). Contact your institution's financial aid office to inquire about your financial aid award letter/offer. Additionally, make sure to check your institution portal for any pending documents and/or actions required by your institution. Please note that many institutions no longer mail financial aid award letters to students and instead post them on the online student college/institutional portals. If you are not receiving financial aid from your institution, please upload proof such as a screenshot of the notification which states that you have no funds awarded for the school year.
Note: Acceptance letters, tuition bills and directions on how to access your student portal will not be accepted.
In most cases, financial aid offices provide DACA students with a financial aid award letter that provides the student with a clear indication of the costs associated with attending the institution and lists any institutional or private financial aid for the student. Please note, if requested, you must submit a financial aid award letter/offer. If you are not receiving financial aid from your institution, please upload proof such as a screenshot of the notification which states that you have no funds awarded for the school year.
Note: Acceptance letters, tuition bills and directions on how to access your student portal will not be accepted. For additional questions or concerns, contact us immediately.
If selected as a scholarship recipient you'll be prompted to submit a fall enrollment verification. The HSF Enrollment Verification Form and additional details will be sent to all scholarship recipients late summer. Verification of full-time enrollment must be uploaded to your "Document Bank" in your scholarship application by October 15th.
Yes, there are several options for submitting an official enrollment verification form to HSF. You can go directly to your institutions registrar's office and request an official enrollment verification form…
Quickest method: You can submit an official enrollment verification from the National Student Clearinghouse. This is an organization with whom most U.S. institutions register, and which offers a verification form as an expedited service. You can go to their website at http://www.studentclearinghouse.org/ and for a nominal fee, they will send you a PDF version of your enrollment verification instantly.
You may use the HSF enrollment verification form which will be emailed to you. You can take this form to your registrar's office for completion. Please be sure to complete the student portion of the form and that the registrar's office has completed all questions on its portion.

|A bee's-eye view of scarlet bee balm, Monarda didyma
The short story on bee balm is: it's easy to grow, there are species suited to different growing conditions, plus some people consider it a herb as much as an ornamental flower. (I'm using its ornamental qualities as a medicinal tonic for my mood right now. Please think healing thoughts!)
I'm afraid the short story is pretty much all you'll get from me today – except for this big bunch of pictures. For another inspiring look at this flower, head over to Janet Davis's The Paintbox Garden.
|At Sarah's country schoolhouse, pale purple Monarda fistulosa is making pretty patterns with phlox and echinacea
|Taken last month in the display garden at Joy Creek Nursery near Portland OR – I'll share more from that trip soon. You might be able to figure out the species and cultivar, and you will get growing information, from Joy Creek's online catalog
|A compact pink cultivar, also taken at Joy Creek. Monarda is generally hardy from Z4-9, so works in Toronto, too.
|Bee balm isn't just for bees. This patch at Oregon's Westwind Farm Studio was a hummingbird magnet.
Plant it, and see who comes to call.

Of course, I was asked to go at the last minute, which makes getting an outfit together for this event all the more difficult! All the women in my department working this event are wearing black (yawn) so I guess I have to, too. I ordered this very pretty dress from eShakti, but I'd love to make it more interesting. Now, this is a work event, so while the safe route would be to accessorize with a strand of pearls, pearl earrings and low, black heels ( I *am* working & have to be able to walk -- unfortunately, this night is not about me sipping champagne and looking pretty) -- it's also really boring. So, any suggestions for work-appropriate accessories that A) will allow me to do all the running around I need to do and B) will make me feel gorgeous? My max budget is $150. I'm not a fan of bracelets. But I do like big statement jewelry. Thanks! Laura"

If you've lost your job at one point during the past four years or so and still haven't found one you really like, maybe you're considering starting up your own small business. If so, I would like to impart a few suggestions based on my own experience.
Seventeen years ago, I retired from teaching in Chicago and found I couldn't afford to live there on a teacher's pension. So I scouted around for an affordable corner of the country to transplant myself and my humble belongings to. Voila. Louisville, Kentucky.
Upon making the decision to move there, I found a house I loved and decided to turn it into a bed and breakfast. Voila again. I was now an inn keeper. It's been almost eighteen years and yes, I'm still here. But wait a minute. Am I here because I love it so much or because I'm locked in and can't get out? You guessed it.
I'm locked in. And I did it to myself by knowing nothing about business, specifically the bed and breakfast business, when I opened . Like many of the guests who come to my inn, I thought it would be a fun thing to do.
So why am I locked in? It started when I bought the business. I didn't have any of the following "do not start a business without" things:
- Adequate start up money
- A business plan
- An understanding of how to start and run a small business
- A working understanding of the bed and breakfast industry
- Past experience in or knowledge of like or related businesses
I'm a risk taker, a workaholic, and a very positive thinker These attributes have gotten me through the past seventeen years. But, because of little understanding of what I was doing at the onset I made poor choices and am now locked in during a bad economy, not likely to refinance, saddled with credit card debt, and unable to sell my business. I have a plan to get out from under but it will take time. Don't make the same mistake I did. Know what you're getting into.

There are thousands of developers selling their services on the internet today. The most important question for any business looking to have an application developed is whether or not the app developers is worthy of developing their application with least numbers of flaws. Applications can belong to a number of categories. Each application has its own features and functionalities but what type of company and target audience the app is being developed for is also an important point to consider. Only the professional and experienced developers know what a professional application looks like and what user experience it delivers.
It is always highly recommended that you look for an app development company when you want an app for your business. A company has more professionals to work on the same task and thus the task can get completed in much less time than the time taken by an individual. Furthermore, due to the availability of more resources the companies are able to train their professionals on the latest techniques and trends of app development. A company might have a team particular trained at developing apps for mobile and another team trained to develop web applications.
The experience of the company matters a lot when you have to decide which company you should give the task to. By experience it doesn't mean that you should only look at the number of years the company has been working for. More important is to look at the clients that the company has served. Look at the online portfolio of the company or ask for one if it's not available on the website. Also, it is very important that you are included as an important member and link during the development process of the application. In simple words, you should also be like a member of the development team.
One important point that business owners often tend to forget when hiring app developers is their location. Most experts will recommend you to hire developers that are located in the area where you are located. This way you can trust the company more and will have the peace of mind that you can reach the company physically to talk about any complaints if you are not served properly. Search specifically for companies that are located in your region. For example, you should look for app developers UK on the internet if you live in the UK.
Just as there are companies that are better in making sports games than they are at making action games, there are developers who are better in developing certain types of applications. Is your application an educational, official, entertainment etc. application? You must approach the people who are best at developing the type of apps that your business belongs to. Lastly, don't forget to look at the online reviews and customer feedbacks before you decide to pick a particular app development company. Online reviews can greatly help you in choosing the right company for the job.

Love this doctor and her staff!
Dr. Redd is direct and straightforward yet compassionate and understanding. I would highly recommend her to all my friends. A truly exceptional Dr.
Dr. Redd-Overbey was wonderful! I was hesitant new patient and already feeling discouraged from my awful Kaiser doc, going into my first appt to discuss newly diagnosed pcos and my wish to have babies. Dr. Redd was wonderful, respectful and gentle. She listened to the limited information that I had which was provided by my old doctor. In addition to all of my random concerns she did and overview of mine and my husbands extensive health histories and by the end of the appt we had a plan in place with at least 3 active next steps that I could take and guidance on keeping track of my cycles. I left the appt feeling uplifted and optimistic about being a mother one day in the future. I am an action and plan type of gal and Dr. Redd really delivered. And I want to note that I was her last patient, it was a long day I felt taken care of and paid attention to which is rare after the clock strikes 5pm in a doctor's office.
I realy like Dr. Redd. She was there for my entire pregnancy and she delivered my daughter. She always explained everything she was doing or going to happen. I would highly recommend her.
I am now 9 months pregnant and from the beginning doctor Redd has been there . I was not sure at first if she was going to be kind and a good doctor from reviews on the web but I am super happy i took the chance with her. From the first day she was super caring and he staff was all nice and seemed like you where there only patient . They take the time to listen and answer any questions especially the 100 my husband has every time we go in : ) . I would have to say my experience could not be any better and that if you are not sure just go once to her you will see what i mean .

David, AMSAT OSCAR-E is not to be deployed in a high orbit. It is a LEO whose orbit parameters will be determined by the launch, but you can assume about 800Km height. There is NOT going to be "FM coverage to huge areas." Operational and many design decisions are far from "concluded" and I am soliciting inputs from everyone. The satellite will have magnetic stabilization so it flips over every time it crosses the equator. Power will be managed by limiting its transmissions to one or two regions (about 20 minute segments) per pass. These will be primarily based on a geographic filter, and will also be mode dependant. Rick W2GPS -----Original Message----- From: email@example.com [mailto:firstname.lastname@example.com] On Behalf Of firstname.lastname@example.com Sent: Tuesday, April 30, 2002 6:38 AM To: email@example.com Subject: [amsat-bb] Re: AMSAT O-E It seems that the discussion of putting a 9 inch cube into a high orbit and providing FM coverage to huge areas has been concluded, but I'm curious about the 11W (28% efficiency cells etc) limitation on power. The electrical technology going into microsats is evolving and progressing but isn't it possible to take one step forward on the mechanical side and have a couple of small thin/lightweight deployable panels strapped to the side of the satellite at launch? If they fail to deploy in orbit, the satellite would still have its 11W and it wouldn't affect the basic mission. After all AO-40 is working very nicely with it's panels still securely strapped in place. If it / they did deploy, that's an extra 50% of power budget and there is nothing like a big signal to attract more users / members. BTW Wasn't it one of last years SSTL microsat missions that was fitted with a gas jet thruster for orbital manouvering? 73 David G0MRF www.g0mrf.freeserve.co.uk/ao-40.htm ---- Via the amsat-bb mailing list at AMSAT.ORG courtesy of AMSAT-NA.

The Bruins lost to California, 8-6, in the SoCal Tournament semifinals on Sunday, Oct. 15. Sunday's match will mark the first meeting of the season between UCLA and Pacific. This weekend's contests are the third and fourth matches of the Bruins' current six-game road trip.
LAST WEEKEND: In their first and only regular-season meeting of the season, UCLA defeated eighth-ranked Loyola Marymount, 7-3, at LMU's Burns Recreation Center. The Bruins held the Lions scoreless in the first half, taking a 3-0 lead at halftime. UCLA led by as many as five goals (6-1 and 7-2) in the non-conference tilt. Seniors Michael March and Logan Powell and sophomore Krsto Sbutega each scored two goals for the Bruins. Freshman Chay Lapin made eight saves in the cage for UCLA.
SIX TO GO: Entering November, UCLA has just six games remaining on the regular-season slate before the season-culminating MPSF Championships from Nov. 24-26. Last season, the Bruins totaled a 12-4 record against the six teams UCLA will face over the final month of this season. The Bruins lost to California, 8-6, on Oct. 15, and defeated UC Irvine, 15-4, on Sept. 22 in Irvine.
IN THE CAGE: Freshman Chay Lapin has posted an impressive 4.86 goals against average, good for second-lowest in the MPSF. He has totaled 57 saves in eight games. Lapin recorded eight saves against eighth-ranked Loyola Marymount and registered a career-best 13 saves against Stanford on Oct. 14 in the SoCal Tournament. Senior Will Didinger has tallied a 5.86 goals against average and collected 40 saves in seven games. UCLA's goalkeeping unit has limited opponents to 80 goals through 14 games while totaling 99 saves.
KRSTO LEADS THE WAY: Sophomore Krsto Sbutega scored two goals against Loyola Marymount on Oct. 28, marking the seventh time this season that he has posted a multiple-goal performance. Sbutega leads the Bruins with 21 goals. In UCLA's last two games, he has scored four goals. This season, he has registered two four-goal efforts (vs. Princeton, Sept. 16; at UC Irvine, Sept. 22).
BALANCED ATTACK: Seven Bruins have registered 10 goals or more through the season's first 12 games. Sophomore Krsto Sbutega (21), senior Logan Powell (19), junior Marco Santos (17) and senior Grant Zider (14) lead the team in that category. UCLA's top four scorers have accounted for 48 percent of the Bruins' goals this season (71/148). The Bruins' three other double-digit goal scorers are freshman Scott Davidson (12), junior Justin Johnson (10) and senior Michael March (10).
THREES ALL AROUND: Not only did UCLA win three games in the 2006 SoCal Tournament, but the Bruins also won three games in September's NorCal Tournament. UCLA finished third at both major tournaments this season. The Bruins have been ranked third in six of seven Top-20 polls this season (No. 4 in week six). UCLA earned a No. 3 rank in the MPSF preseason poll.
AT THE HELM: In his eighth season as head coach of the men's water polo team, Adam Krikorian has tallied an impressive 148-45 career record at UCLA, his alma mater (class of 1997), while leading the Bruins to three NCAA titles. He has also served as the women's water polo head coach for eight seasons, guiding the women to five national titles. Krikorian played water polo for the Bruins from 1992-95, helping lead the 1995 squad to its first NCAA championship since 1972. Throughout his coaching career, Krikorian has coached 39 All-Americans (selected 69 times) and four Olympians.
FRESH MEN: Four Bruin freshmen have posted impressive debuts this season. Chay Lapin has recorded 57 saves in the cage. Scott Davidson ranks fifth on the squad with 12 goals. Kevin Kuga is tied for eighth on the list with nine goals, and Scott Swanson has registered four goals.
HOME, SWEET HOME: The Sunset Canyon Recreation Center at UCLA enters its 42nd year as the home of Bruin water polo. UCLA has played twice at the Rose Bowl Aquatics Center. The Bruins are 2-0 in home matches this season (Cal Baptist, 21-3; Stanford, 10-8). UCLA has two regular-season games remaining at the Sunset Canyon Recreation Center (Nov. 17 vs. Long Beach State; Nov. 19 vs. UC Irvine).

Everyone has life's challenges and can face them with fear or with trust. I choose to look at them as experiences where God blessed me with His curve balls thrown in. These curve balls are not the negative, painful or abusive life experiences that I have lived through, but rather the unexpected, blessings, gifts, and graces God threw in to help me through the experiences. I believe that these curve balls were given so that I can witness to His great and awesome presence in and through the experiences, the people in those experiences and in myself as living through and surviving the experiences as a better, not bitter human being.

Putin spells out support for Sisi presidency, calls army chief's bid "responsible"
Russia's president Vladimir Putin provided public support for Egyptian army chief Abdel Fattah El Sisi's rumoured presidential bid during talks with Sisi in Moscow Thursday, according to Agence France Presse.
Putin told the army chief, "I know that you, Mr. defence minister, have decided to run for president of Egypt. It's a very responsible decision... I wish you luck both from myself personally and from the Russian people."
Sisi and Putin held meetings Thursday as part of the army chief's rare visit to Moscow to negotiate an arms deal between Russia and Egypt estimated to be worth $2 billion and designed to fill the aid gap created from the United States' decision to withdraw much of its assistance to Cairo last year.
The meetings between Russian officials and Sisi, who was accompanied by Cairo's Foreign Minister Nabil Fahmy, commenced Wednesday, with the leaders citing that in addition to the arms deal which leaders confirmed was the main topic up for discussion during the visit, regional security issues as well as trade and economic relations would be on the table.
This week's meeting represents the first time that Moscow and Cairo have met since November when Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov and Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu met with their counterparts in Egypt in an effort to revive ties between the two countries that have "remained stagnant" since the USSR era.
Russia's state industrial company Rostec leadership told reporters following the November meeting that the two countries were planning to revive their relationship in part through a landmark deal that would deliver air defense systems to Egypt's army from Moscow, but no firm delivery contracts have yet been signed or implemented due to funding problems and ongoing discussions among Egyptian authorities.
The USSR served as Egypt's main arms supplier in the 1960s and 1970s, but the relationship largely ended with the arrival of generous U.S. aid following Cairo's decision to sign a peace treaty with Israel.
The U.S. decision to therefore suspend its military aid to Egypt late last year following the oust of democratically-elected Islamist president Mohammed Morsi has led Cairo to revisit and invest more effort in rebuilding its relationship with Moscow in order to fill this critical aid gap.

PITTSBURGH (AP) — A man who has spent most of his adult life behind bars was sentenced to 15 years in prison after pleading guilty to three counts of bank robbery.
Quinn Bowman, 34, who admitted he robbed three banks with a pellet gun last summer, was sentenced Monday by U.S. District Judge Nora Barry Fischer.
The judge also ordered Bowman to pay nearly $20,000 in restitution to the banks.
Bowman spent 10 years incarcerated from 1992 to 2002. He still faces trial on robbery charges in state court.

Eye Skin Care : Nivea Visage Aqua Sensation Anti Shadow Eye Care
Eye Skin Care : Nivea Visage Aqua Sensation Anti Shadow Eye Care
Hello Ladies,
Hope you are doing fantastic! Today has been tedious! Anyways, today I am reviewing my current eye care cream, Nivea Visage Aqua Sensation Anti Shadow Eye Care.
Product Claims :
Reduces signs of tiredness, the appearance of facial wrinkles, dark circles & puffiness leaving the delicate eye area remarkably smooth & refreshed.
NIVEA VISAGE Aqua Sensation Anti-Shadow Eye Care is a light, cooling cream that instantly invigorates the delicate eye area with pure moisture and provides it with 24-hour hydration.
Refreshing cucumber extracts provide your skin with cooling freshness. Also enriched with stimulating Magnesium and Ginseng, this light cream quickly eliminates signs of tiredness which most prominently show around the eye area.
How To Apply :
Apply every morning after cleansing your face by gently dabbing around the eye. Perfectly moisturized and refreshed, the eye area looks looks rested, radiant and healthy.
Ophtamologically tested and approved.
Price, Availability and Quantity :
Nivea Visage Aqua Sensation Anti Shadow Eye Care retails at about 20-25 AED at all supermarkets and hyper markets! You get about 15ml of the product.
Nivea Visage Aqua Sensation Anti Shadow Eye Care comes in a cute stout glass bottle with a screw up lid.
My Thoughts On The Nivea Visage Aqua Sensation Anti Shadow Eye Care :
I have being an eye cream fanatic lately, I have reviewed the ones I have used HERE and HERE. Nivea Visage Aqua Sensation Anti Shadow Eye Care is a newbie at my vanity! I have been using it since a while now, a little more than a month to be precise, and thought I shall get it out for you guys!
Nivea Visage Aqua Sensation Anti Shadow Eye Care is basically a night cream which can be used both during the day and nights! I haven't included an eye cream in my day time skin care regimen, but I use one without fail in my night care skin regimen!
Nivea has never really disappointed me when it comes to skincare, so whatever product I pick I am sure that it will be an effective one, and worth each penny! This one did not prove me wrong too!
Whilst picking an eye care related product, I am always looking for things which will hydrate my skin there, nothing else is my concern, since my dark circles are a matter of few incomplete sleepless nights, and once I get my sleep done, they are sorted. Neither am I concerned about problems like dark lids and fine lines "as yet", no anti aging stuff too for me! So basically its only hydrating and keeping my skin around the eyes from drying ! When I read cucumber extract, I actually imagined how hydrating it could be. :P So here are some pictures and swatches,
Texture :
Nivea Visage Aqua Sensation Anti Shadow Eye Care has a light watery gel like texture!
What's to LOVE about the Nivea Visage Aqua Sensation Anti Shadow Eye Care :
• Packaging. Cute and sturdy! Makes it toss it in the bag and go ahead types!
• Pricing. Decent enough for the quantity.
• Fragrance free! I did not really sniff any particular scent in it.
• The texture, watery and gel like! On application it melts into the skin, and absorbs within a couple of seconds.
• Hydrates the skin and keeps it from drying and getting dehydrated!It has aqua, glycerin and all the good things for your eyes.
• I wake up to soft and supple lids and undereye area.
• Works on dark circles! Steadily though but the effect is visible.
• If you have dark lids, this may help in brightening them up! Again slowly but quiet prominently!
• You do not need a lot of product! So it shall last you for about 2 months!
• Keeps the eyes from getting puffy!
What's to HATE about the Nivea Visage Aqua Sensation Anti Shadow Eye Care :
I do not have any grievances against this product! I am enjoying using it!
Final Verdict :
The Aqua Sensation range in particular, is great for hydration and water retention of the skin! This is quiet a decent product and doesn't really give you a chance for regretting over your purchase. A total RECOMMENDATION from my behalf!! I may be sticking around this one for a few months before switching and changing!
Ratings :

"A few weeks ago I was doing some yard work and noticed the flower pods on my crepe myrtles," says Vidya at What's Ur Home Story. They had such an interesting shape, and she realized that with a little color, the pods would look like clusters of flowers. It was worth a try!
Adding color to the dried seed pods was actually very simple. Vidya gently dusted off the stems first. Then, she poured different colors of craft paint out onto a paper plate. Using a paintbrush, she gently added strokes of color to the pods with her craft paint. She varied the shades of paint on each stalk of "flowers", so that there would be lots of movement and dimension on her stems. These look lovely displayed in a vase.

Get Your Peacock On
OK. I am officially all for this bird-inspired hair trend. The layering of prismatic, intensely-hued "pops" of jewel-toned color within someone's crowning glory aka "peacocking" is a bit of an obsession for me lately. Especially so after my recent Thermafuse trip to the Premier Orlando Beauty Expo – the largest beauty industry event in the United States. As I found my way through the crowd of 40,000+ beauty industry professionals I couldn't help but to notice all of the delightfully different interpretations of this colorful trend from makeup to hair. Each as unique as the person adorned. However, as with all things trendy in the hair world, there's always the good, the bad, and the hair 911. so if you're going to do it, do it right. Here are 6 useful tips on how to get your peacock on …the right way:
1) See a professional for this one. Seriously. Getting blotchy Kool-Aid stains out of hair is more difficult than one might think.
2) Platinum blondes are perfect candidates for this colorful trend. Jewel tones will be at their boldest when freshly applied, then fade gracefully into pastel colors which also pair well with platinum hair. It's like having two looks for the price of one
3) Shampoo wisely. Keep your colors vibrant by using proper shampoo and conditioner made for fashion color retention.
4) If you're a brunette, most jewel tones will require pre-lightening strands four or more levels for best results. Because the lightening process can be abrasive, I recommend this procedure on virgin hair only… Hair not-so-virgin? See tip No.5
5) If you're a "brunette" and you haven't seen your natural color in so long you forgot what it even looks like [points to self (guilty as charged)], then pre-lightening your hair is risky business and can severely compromise the hair's integrity. Instead, opt for an assortment of colorful human hair extensions. When installed professionally and correctly, extensions can last for months depending on hair type and maintenance. They can be shampooed, cut and heat-styled just like the rest of your hair. Extensions are also a great option for blondes who are looking for a less permanent application of peacock colors.
6) Any redheads out there? Red is a vibrant shade all on its own so choose your peacock colors wisely… In fact, nix the greens and blues all together and be a fiery phoenix instead. Stick to pinks, intense golds, coppers, corals and red-violets. An overabundance of blue accents in red hair might give you that Captain America look… But I mean hey, if that's what you're into…
And lastly, I can't end this post without flaunting my very own newly-peacocked locks:
Wishing you many fabulous hair days,
Emily Chen

Photos: Atacama Solar Challenge in the Atacama Desert in northern Chile
Posted by Don Pavlin on 11/16/2012 10:28am PDT tags: photo
SANTIAGO, Chile (AP) — The second annual Solar Challenge has begun in Chile's Atacama desert, where 15 solar-powered cars rolled out of an old salt mine Thursday. The solar-powered prototypes will travel more than 800 miles (1,300 kilometers) through the world's driest desert in the four-day, multinational race. There are two categories: cars powered only by solar energy, and three-wheeled models that get a little help from pedals pushed by the drivers themselves. The cars had to be built for less than $7,000, forcing their makers to be creative more than wealthy. Most of the teams represent university engineering departments. The big finish comes Monday, and the winners get prizes of $30,000 in the solar category and $9,000 in the hybrid category.

From KSP: "The processing time for each application will vary. It depends on different circumstances, such as background checks or whether the application was submitted correctly." The application was not submitted correctly therefor it can't be processed.
This. Why is anyone but you filling out such an important document? It really does sound like you may have to do quite a bit of legwork to track this one down. What's in your favor is that KY is very pro-CCDW, and I'd be surprised if you can't eventually sort it out.Quote:
Yeah sure, except the part about why the Jefferson County Sheriff's Dept. filled out...what?
I'm not sure why some of you guys are so on the offensive here? What was I to do? Cause a scene at the Sheriffs office while I'm asking them to submit my paperwork to carry a gun? That didn't seem like a good idea at the time and still doesn't seem like a good idea.
Your situation just sounds....weird, especially given the more common experience from others in the Commonwealth. Don't take it as aggression. We're digging around an odd-sounding situation. Something doesn't sound right, and digging for more info often clarifies.
Would I cause a scene? No. Would I let someone else fill out the form? No. But then again, I wasn't there in a Sheriff's office, just trying to get things done properly. So it's easy for me to imagine what I'd do. :rolleyes:
If you can get the Sheriff's department on your side, things should go smoother. That's what I meant by legwork...face-to-face requests are so much more effective.
I am not fussing at you and I truly wish I could help. I am just amazed that a county like Jefferson would be so ill-informed or take such gross measures. Looks to me like you done every thing right and the fault lies with the JCSO. As mentioned above, perhaps a Attorny would be in order at this point. Not as a battering ram but something to indicate your sincerity to get the matter resolved in short order.
I truly wish you the best my friend.
At this point I've done all I can go, having submitted the proper paperwork for the correction. However its frustrating knowing that they still have not logged my change yet, two weeks after I discovered the issue.
Now I will begin calling every Mon, Wed, Fri to check the status until they tell me its been issued. I just think its absurd that a tax paying law abiding citizen has to go through so much trouble for something like this. I mean my ONLY brush with the law is a speeding ticket about 7+ years ago.
Fayette County Clerk filled out the form for my wife and I both then handed them to us to review. Can't recall if we were asked to sign it anywhere.
Edit added: On my wifes certificate her name was listed incorrectly ( her maiden name became her legal middle name in NJ when we were married). But the certificate had both her first name and middle names appearing in the first name space. The clerk said it was up to my wife, request a corrected certificate or submit as is then see if anyone at the state police rejected it. She decided to take a chance and submit it as is and the clerk was willing to add a handwritten note explaining the mistake and that she had verified the name on my wife's drivers license was correct. So far still waiting on both our ccdw flash packs its been less than a month I think.
I wanted to give an update with how this situation turned out for those that may be interested.
After much feedback, I began calling every other business day to ask for an update. I will say the KSP folks were very pleasant to work with.
It took just under three weeks for my change of information request to be processed (2/4/13). Then 3 days for the background check to go through (completed and mailed 2/7/13) . I received my "flash pack" on 2/9/12.
I'm happy to report I did not have to find out what happens on day 90. :danceban:
Thank you to all those that volunteered feedback.
my KY permit was done correctly and took well over 90 days to get back from Richmond.
I,too, live in Louisville Ky and the lady at the sheriff's office also filled out spaces on the paper work. However, when she asked for my SS number I asked her to slide me the paper so I could put that down myself, did not want to say it out loud in a roomfull of people.
Which should mean that "a few weeks" shouldn't be seen as outrageous, even if it happens to result in your originally-incomplete application going over the 90 days.
