Powered by radioisotope generators, they were turned off as a budget move when still operating. Apollo 11 deployed a simpler version called EASEP.
First Launch: 1969.07.16.
Last Launch: 1972.12.07.
Number: 7 .
These guidelines had been arrived at after extensive consultation within NASA as a whole as well as with the scientific community.
The Apollo Program Director was being requested by Newell to authorize the funding of flight hardware for this experiment.
Arthur T. Strickland of NASA's Lunar and Planetary Programs Office would be the technical monitor. Andrew Patteson of the MSC Lunar Surface Technology Branch was requested as alternate technical monitor.
Of equal significance, he said, "the Pallet offers the opportunity to minimize the interface with both North American and the Apollo program. It provides a single interface to Apollo and NAA, allowing the multiple-experiment interfaces to be handled by a contractor whose specific interest is in experiments. If experiments are to be carried in the Service Module, the Pallet both by concept and experience offers the most economical approach." Gilruth said the following plan had been developed:
The Office of Space Science and Applications (OSSA) would be responsible for selecting scientific experiments for manned missions and the experimenter teams for data reduction, data analysis, and dissemination. OSSA would provide to OMSF complete scientific requirements for each experiment selected for flight.
The Office of Advanced Research and Technology (OART) was assigned the overall responsibility for the technology content of the NASA space flight program and for selecting technology experiments for manned missions. OART would provide OMSF complete technology requirements for each experiment selected for flight. When appropriate, scientific and technical personnel would be located in OMSF to provide a working interface with experimenters. The office responsible for each experiment would determine the tracking and acquisition requirements for each experiment; then OMSF would integrate the requirements for all experiments and forward the total requirements to the Office of Tracking and Data Acquisition.
Seamans also spelled out Center responsibilities for manned space flight missions: MSFC, Apollo telescope mount; MSC, Apollo lunar surface experiment package (ALSEP), lunar science experiments, earth resources experiments, and life support systems; and Goddard Space Flight Center, atmospheric science, meteorology, and astronomical science experiments.
MSC Deputy Director George M. Low, in a January 10 letter to Newell, thanked him and said he would discuss the problems with Newell more fully after receiving a complete review of the ALSEP program from Robert O. Piland.
Low wrote Newell on April 10, 1967, that there had been schedule slips in the program plan devised in March 1966 - primarily slips associated with the lunar surface magnetometer, the suprathermal ion detector, and the central station receiver and transmitter. "In each case, we have effected a programmatic workaround plan, the elements of which were presented to Leonard Reiffel of OMSF and William O'Bryant of your staff on December 5, 1966, and in subsequent reviews of the subject with them as the planning and implementation progressed. . . ."

By ANGELA HUSTON
Special to The Gazette
At a Senior Summit held July 11 at Medina General Hospital, Barbara E. Riley, director of the Ohio Depart-ment of Aging, addressed key aging issues with a group of concerned representatives from local re-source service agencies. Riley verbally sketched the changing face of aging in Ohio.
Each month, 12,000 Ohioans turn 60. These emerging Baby Boomers, the vanguard of tomorrow's seniors, will live longer and lead more active and independent lives, be better educated and more often be single. They will be wealthier, but at the same time more in debt and have less acute health issues but more chronic ones.
Spurred to act by this rapidly growing segment, the ODA, which already serves more than 2 million of Ohio's citizens, is striving "to provide leadership for the delivery of services and supports that improve and promote quality of life and personal choice for older Ohioans, adults with disabilities, their families and their caregivers.†Its goals include promoting the greatest level of choice and independence, promoting community living when appropriate and feasible in terms of cost and quality, and enhancing civic engagement — both paid and volunteer-based. More than 12 percent of those 60 and older now live in poverty.
The process
A governor-appointed workgroup and five subcommittees (more than 300 people) worked 10 months to draft a plan to address these goals. After 94 meetings, they submitted the completed work to the Joint Committee on Medicaid Technology and Reform.
The plan is divided into four phases spanning five years, beginning with recommended short term priorities (next year), intermediate term priorities (next biennium), and finally long term priorities (2012-13 biennium).
Shaping the future
In an effort to prepare for the expected growth among seniors (the 85 and older population will increase by 40 percent in the next seven years), the proposed unified long-term care budget would provide consumers with a flexible array of services and more choices.
It aims to provide a cost-effective system, reduce duplication, link services across agencies and jurisdictions and make long-term care funding transparent. The budget would enable consumers to make informed decisions that reflect their preferences and needs.
The proposed system of budgeting and service encompasses both facility-based and home- and community-based services and supports, based on consumer choice and differing levels of service need. It will include an array of options and feature a consolidated policymaking and budget authority to simplify decision-making and maximize the state's flexibility.
The plan would result in consumers who experience a higher quality of life and are satisfied with the services and support they receive and would encourage Ohioans to be better prepared to make informed decisions about their options and plan ahead for future needs.
With the proposed plan, consumers with chronic or recurring needs for services, regardless of age or disability, will be served by the long-term services and supports budget, which includes nursing facilities, Medicaid waivers like PASSPORT and assisted living, state plan services, PACE and non-Medicaid funded services.
Own your future
A governor's press conference April 29 kicked off the "Own Your Future†campaign, a partnership with the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, targeting Ohioans age 45 to 64 with letters urging them to order available OYF planning kits that present broad overviews on lifestyle planning for healthy aging, legal and estate planning, staying at home, financial planning for long- term care, long-term care insurance, reverse mortgages and planning for one's own care.
Individuals are directed to additional resources, such as their Area Agency on Aging, for more detailed information.
For a regional list of Ohio's "Own Your Future†forums, visit www.GoldenBuckeye.com.
Senior Civic Engagement
From 2005-15, Ohio's 55 and older population will account for all the net population increase, and all the growth in Ohio's working-age population will be generated by this group.
Currently, Ohio has almost 2 million residents 45 and older not in the labor pool, due in part to exhausting unemployment benefits or giving up on finding a job, or both, Riley said.
The Senior Civic Engagement Initiative for senior employment would increase senior employment levels, increase workforce development responsiveness to seniors, urge retirement systems to provide incentives and remove disincentives for working beyond normal retirement age, and coordinate with the Third-Age Sub-committee of the Workforce Policy Advisory Board to ensure seniors are included in workforce planning.
Senior volunteerism goals would ensure opportunities exist that match the skills, time, effort and availability of emerging seniors and ensure effective communication and matching of opportunities and volunteers.
These healthy and active aging initiatives increase a person's overall health and reduce seniors' personal healthcare expenditures by an average of $2,000 per year.
What we can do
Everyone can help, she said, by raising awareness of the link between physical and behavioral health, eliminating stigma that keeps people from seeking treatment and promoting wellness, active aging and collaboration among state agencies.
Instituting more prevention services now is key to the success of the plan.

Ida Louise Jackson, Education Pioneer
The March 11 campaign kickoff event will take place at the home of Ida Louise Jackson, at 1210 Excelsior Avenue in Oakland. Ida Louise Jackson was an education pioneer.
Ida Louise Jackson was born in 1902 in Vicksburg Mississippi, a daughter of a former slave. She attended private schools before transferring to public schools as a sixth grader, graduating from Cherry Street High School in 1914, enrolling at Rust College, but transferred to New Orleans University (renamed Dillard University) and graduated in 1917 with a Normal Teaching Diploma and a certificate in home economics.
She moved to California, and after being told she was "unqualified" to teach here, she entered U.C. Berkeley in 1920, majoring in vocational guidance, counseling and education. She graduated in 1922 with a Bachelor of Arts degree. Her Master's degree was earned in 1923, also from Berkeley. She attended Columbia University and there obtained her Doctorate.
Dr. Jackson was a pioneering black woman; upon being hired by the city of Oakland in 1926 she became the first black public school teacher in California, instructing elementary and high school students in American History. While a student at U.C. Berkeley in 1921 (one of 17 black students) she was an organizer and charter member of the U.C. Berkeley Rho Chapter, Alpha Kappa Alpha. With support from the sorority in 1934, she founded what became known as "Mississippi Health Project." for whom she was general director for the eight years of its operation. Over 4,000 children and many adults were treated in these mobile clinics, which traveled from plantation to plantation throughout Mississippi.
In 1979 Dr. Jackson donated her family's ranch to U.C. Berkeley, specifying that the proceeds of its sale be used as graduate fellowships for black students pursuing degrees there.
Dr. Ida Louise Jackson died in Oakland at the age of 93, in 1996.
Dr. Jackson's written works include Development of Negro Children in Reference to Education (1923) and Librarians' Role in Creating Racial Understanding (1944). She received the Who's Who Among Colored Americans award in 1950.
(From http://www.lookoutranch.com/ida_jackson.htm)

- A residence hall at UC Berkeley is named after her.
- She was awarded the Berkeley Citation by UC Berkeley in 1971.
- She was a member of Phi Beta Kappa.

Hassan: Canadian government should have power to revoke citizenship of terror suspects
By Farzana Hassan, Special to QMI Agency
Friday, February 8, 2013 5:54:35 EST PM
Immigration Minister Jason Kenney has stated what many have been thinking for some time: He has proposed that Canadian passport holders who commit acts of terror abroad or in Canada may have their citizenship revoked.
The scope of the private member's Bill C-425 proposed by Conservative MP Devinder Shory will therefore be expanded to include the right of the Canadian government to revoke citizenship of individuals with dual nationalities who commit terror abroad or against Canada.
Bill C-425 will also include the provision to speed up immigration for permanent residents who serve in the Canadian Armed Forces. Perhaps this incentive will instill in migrants some loyalty toward Canada. The bill also includes serious penalties for those who commit acts of terror against Canadian Armed Forces.
Kenney has done the right thing in proposing expansion of the bill. The alleged Canadian connection in the recent attack on the Algerian gas plant justifies reigniting the debate about who is entitled to keep Canadian citizenship. The earlier alleged involvement of a Canadian passport holder in a terrorist attack on a bus in Bulgaria had also sparked debate on revoking Canadian citizenship.
Putting it plainly: Anyone who gives allegiance to an entity outside Canada that threatens the values we hold dear or seeks to harm our citizens must forfeit the privilege of Canadian citizenship. After all, surely no one so hostile to Canada would want to live here.
Muslim organizations fighting to eradicate the curse of terrorism from Canada must support this bill. Thus far, only the Muslim Canadian Congress, of which I am a board member, has endorsed it. MCC president Salma Siddiqui said in a statement recently "a number of Canadians have been training in terrorist camps in Pakistan and plan to return to Canada to carry out their global jihad. We must ensure these men and women are stripped of their citizenship before they can re-enter Canada."
The brave stance the MCC has taken needs to be embraced by all Canadian Muslims if a strong message is to be sent to the jihadists that there should be no violence in the name of Islam — or in the name of Canada.
Canada's generosity, freedoms and opportunities must not be exploited to further any murderous plans based on skewed morality or unfounded contempt for the West or those who support Western ideals. Jihadists who commit acts of terror have no loyalty to Canada or to the marvellous opportunities it affords them. They speak only one language, that of hatred for all things deemed un-Islamic.
Members of the political opposition who are upset about the hasty handling of bill C-425 will certainly get a chance to debate it, yet they must support Kenney's proposed amendments.
Canadian law used to allow citizenship to be revoked. If it could do so once, in more innocent times, it needs to have this power again now. We must ensure neither toothless laws nor porous borders can facilitate terror within our borders or in our name.

The capital of Latvia is one of the most beautiful in the Baltic area. The old town of this city, once a member of Hanseatic League, is completely protected by historical conservation legislation. Together with the grand Art Nouveau buildings, it has been declared a UNESCO World Heritage site. On warm summer days on the magnificent boulevards of this Baltic metropolis, the mood is almost Mediterranean. A tremendous variety of architectural styles can be found in Riga. For example, the Riga Cathedral features elements from the Romanesque, Gothic, Renaissance, Baroque and Classical periods. The former palace of Peter the Great near the cathedral also includes elements from various eras. From the palace tower visitors have a fantastic view of the city. Built in the 13th century, St. Peter's Church and its 140 meter tower is also worth a visit as is the former residence of the German Livonian Order of "warrior monks". The palace includes the oldest gate to the city of Riga, the Swedish Gate. Craftsmen once met in the building of the Small Guild; businessmen met in the Great Guild. The medieval townhouses and storehouses in the old town are among the city's other architectural jewels. In addition to the tower of St. Peter's Church, another landmark in Riga is the Freedom Monument. The figure of a woman standing on a 19 meter obelisk lifts three stars to the sky. These symbolize the three Latvian provinces.

Lady Heather calendar functions
Mark Sims <holrum@...>
Yes, Lady Heather has some rather extensive calendar functions built in, including a list of common (and not so common) holidays. If the file heather.cal is found, it uses that file for the holidays... you can add your own or delete some. Otherwise it uses the built in list. I don't think John's latest distribution has the .CAL file... The calendar file can handle fixed days, days like the first/last Thursday of a given month, and some computable religious holidays (mostly Christian, Jewish, Muslim). Also start of the seasons, Chinese New Year, etc. Even calculates the moon phase and shows it in the watch display. It can also display dates in several different calendars (including Aztec, Mayan, Druid, Indian, Persian, Islamic, Jewish, and a bunch of others). Also can display sidereal time. Also has alarm clock, egg timer, chiming clock, singing clock functions. A lot of documentation is in the comments at the start of the file heather.cpp

ST. LOUIS, MI (Ivanhoe Newswire) -- They died waiting. In a seven year span, 533 kids hoping for heart transplants did not get one in time. One little girl's surgery could change the rules and help save more lives.
Four-year-old Kallie Finn and her daddy are two of a kind.
"We're real close anyway, she's always been my little buddy," Mitch Finn, Kallie's father, told Ivanhoe.
When Mitch Finn was five, he had to have a heart transplant. This year, he learned Kallie's heart was failing, and she would need one too.
"It was sick," Kallie said.
A ventricular assist device kept Kallie alive for weeks, but the clock was ticking.
"Essentially three times as many kids die on a waiting list compared to adults," Pirooz Eghtesady, MD, PhD, Chief Section of Pediatric Cardiothoracic Surgery at Washington University School of Medicine and Co-Director of the Heart Center at St. Louis Children's Hospital, explained.
Kallie's cardiac surgeon made a surprising call. He decided to give her a donor heart other centers had rejected, a heart with a hole in it. Holes in hearts are congenital defects that change the normal flow of blood through the heart. Treatment for the condition has greatly improved over the last few decade and kids who have it can survive to adulthood.
"It was hard for me to justify throwing away really a good organ for a child who needed it," Dr.Eghtesady said.
Kallie's surgery went perfectly.
"I closed the hole and then I did the transplant," Dr. Eghtesady stated.
As she gets ready to head home, Kallie's doctor hopes her story opens a door.
"There are probably a lot of hearts that can be used that perhaps are not used and this is an opportunity to extend it cautiously to other organs that may be available," Dr. Eghtesasdy said.
Making more donor hearts available for the kids who need them most. Kallie's doctors are not sure if anyone has ever done a transplant using a heart with a hole in it. Given the same situation, they say they wouldn't hesitate to use a heart with a hole, as long as it was otherwise healthy. They are hoping other doctors will follow suit.MORE

I'm talking about the recipes and dishes, meals and traditions that nourish our bodies and souls when we get home. Just like any other family, we enjoy chilling out and spending time together, and there's no way we'd rather do that than around a table, a place that keeps us grounded and connected to each other as well as to the relatives who came before us. As proud as I am of our professional success, I'm just as proud that we've been able to continue making time for our family and extended family--and we're talking a lot of people-- to meet several times a week and eat together. And now I'm honored to share with you my family's favorite recipes and to tell you the stories of what makes them so near and dear to our hearts. I hope they might become favorites for your family as well, that they help you create memories to last a lifetime, the same way they've done for us Valastros. -- Buon Appetito, Buddy Valastro

Martin, I V; Schmitt, J; Minkenberg, A; Mertens, J C; Stieger, B; Mullhaupt, B; Geier, A (2010). Bile acid retention and activation of endogenous hepatic farnesoid-X-receptor in the pathogenesis of fatty liver disease in ob/ob-mice. Biological Chemistry, 391(12):1441-1449.
|Accepted Version
View at publisher
The nuclear bile acid receptor FXR (farnesoid-X-receptor) has recently been implicated in the pathophysiology of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease because selective FXR-agonists improve glucose and lipid metabolism in rodent models of obesity. However, the regulation of FXR and other relevant nuclear receptors as well as their lipogenic target genes in fatty liver is still not revealed in detail. Livers were harvested from 14-week-old male ob/ob mice and wild-type controls. Serum bile acids were quantified by radioimmunoassay. mRNA and protein expression of transporters and nuclear receptors was analyzed by reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction and Western blotting, whereas DNA binding to the IR-1 element was examined by electrophoretic mobility shift assay. In this study we show: (i) bile acid retention in ob/ob mice, (ii) a resulting FXR upregulation and binding to the IR-1 element in ob/ob animals and (iii) concomitant activation of the fatty acid synthase as a potential lipogenic FXR target gene in vivo. The present study suggests a potential role of hepatic bile acid retention and FXR activation in the induction of lipogenic target genes. Differences between intestinal and hepatic FXR could explain apparent contradictory information regarding its effects on fatty liver disease.

Secure Accredited KVM and Video Distribution Systems
IA - Accredited KVM and Video Distribution Systems (VDS) for:
- Geospatial Intelligence
- Command Centers and Control Rooms
- Intelligence Agencies
- Black and Red Military Networks
- UAV/UAS Operations and Training
- Secure Operations and Communications Centers
- Shipboard Infrastructure
- Aerospace Operations Center
- Visualization, Training and Simulation
- Secure Meeting Centers and SCIFs
Thinklogical's KVM switching solutions are the only medium to large-scale fiber-optic KVM and Video matrix switches to achieve Common Criteria EAL4 Certifications, NATO (NIAPC) Green status, TEMPEST Level B and JITC UCR approval for single chassis multi-classification computer and video infrastructures. Thinklogical supports multi-domain isolation, partitioning and restricted switching for visual computing environments.
When mission-critical applications are in play, system integrators and administrators understand that it is essential to provide users with a secure system that leaves little room for downtime. Consider users in a military command-and-control center, where they must react swiftly to urgent event information and a system slow down or fault could potentially have disastrous consequences. In addition, accessing sensitive data is of paramount importance in these types of environments. In many instances, end users need to switch between two or more computers, possibly at different classification levels, thus introducing data vulnerability.
For over a decade Thinklogical's products have been engineered and designed with secure facility applications in mind. Our products and solutions play a critical role in helping military and government departments and agencies overcome security infrastructure concerns, as well as collaboration and information sharing issues. In addition, Thinklogical is the only provider in the marketplace today that has established an Information Assurance (IA) methodology across its entire line of VX routing products. This in turn has enabled Thinklogical to achieve the prestigious accreditation for Common Criteria EAL4 certification.
Thinklogical supplies key fiber-based infrastructure solutions on the U.S. Navy's Broad Area Maritime Surveillance Unmanned Aircraft System (BAMS UAS) for Northrop Grumman. The BAMS program supports a variety of all-weather maritime ISR (intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance) missions. Northrop Grumman chose Thinklogical to provide an infrastructure that was fiber-based, 6.25 gigabit, single thread, resolution agnostic, and could deliver every pixel and refresh frame from end-to-end. Since Thinklogical systems are accredited for Information Assurance by the (NSA) Common Criteria, EAL4, and for use in NATO multi-classification environments, it was clear that this system would be ideal for deployment throughout the BAMS program.

One of the ugly duckling matchups in the Champions League, not many people are paying attention outside of Spain or Greece because of those bigger, fancier, more glamorous encounters between old foes, the kinds of games that wet the trousers of any tabloid journalist.
And yet, this might turn out to be one of the more entertaining pairings, simply because neither team has anything to lose.
You see, while the high-profile managers at Liverpool, Barcelona, Real Madrid, Inter, Manchester United, etc are worried about their title races, these two teams are unfettered of that concern. The Greek League was wrapped up weeks ago, and La Liga isn't about to be threatened by a force existing outside of Barca or the capital.
And such, when you're unburdened by other concerns, or the crushing pressure to deliver in the marquee game, these two can simply kick the s**t out of one another for 180 minutes and see what happens.
Case in point: Atletico and Porto. There's precious little else to worry about away from the Champions League, and so, they give us a reasonable 2-2 draw and an overwhelming sense that they're not playing for the trite, tense 1-0 aggregate win. Not having a league trophy to dream about certainly helps. (When was the last time Portugal was competitive, anyway?)
Villareal are in decent form, holding down 4th place in La Liga, as far off the pace as anyone around them. They loaned off Jozy Altidore, and make do with the strike pairing of Nihat, the flair-less Turk, and Italian/US Giuseppe Rossi. They've been sleepwalking as of late, narrowly beating relegation-threatened Sporting Gijon and Numancia while drawing to two other minnows, Osasuna and Racing, and getting walloped by Deportivo. Hardly the stuff of legend, really. Their midfield is solid, if aging, with the spritely Santi Cazorla perking up the 30-somethings around him.
In the Greek league, Pana have won 7 of their last 10, but honestly, how good a barometer is that? Should we rank them highly in our Power Rankings? We all know the Greek league is Pana, Olympiakos, and then nothingness. There's the added frisson of interest thanks to the ex-Chelsea assistant Hank Ten Cate being at the helm, as well as the resurgence of Spanish defender Jose Sarriegi who has been essential to the Greeks' qualification for the knockout stages.
Recent form aside, these fixtures yield the kind of shocks and nightmares that keep massive clubs awake at night. To draw a team like Pana or Villa means you're fighting an enemy that's not afraid to die, and yet you still need to do the killing.
When they face each other? Shit, we might get one of those freakish 4-3 results that Bayern and Lyon provided in the final round of the group stage.
With precious little knowledge of either team, I'm picking the Greeks to get it done, as they're the darkest of the dark horses left in the competition.
2-1 Pana at home, 1-1 in Spain.
Cialis Generic is possible to speak by phone with our consultants very much and very long. They know much and to discuss with them various subjects very pleasantly but you have to read many books. They help to develop the head and a lexicon. Tadalafil generic in various institutions it is possible to solve riddles for which give a lot of food and drinks.

"I love the fact that I was able to
get every Connecticut health insurance company's quotes from one website!"
N.B. Stamford, Connecticut
Most Connecticut residents qualify for the Affordable Care Act. Eligibility rules for "ObamaCare" can be found on our blog (or you can call us for information). However eligibility for an ACA or "ObamaCare" health insurance policy does not mean that you qualify for a tax credit or subsidy.
About half of all Americans qualify for a subsidy if they do not qualify for Medicare, Medicaid or an affordable policy at work. If you qualify for a subsidy you must purchase an on exchange policy or you will pay full price. We can help you enroll in either an on-exchange or off-exchnage policy and can help you choose between all the options. (We are all certified brokers for Access Health. Access Health is the Connecticut Exchange or Marketplace.) Please call us at 203-374-3645 or visit our blog to see if you qualify for a subsidy.
The self-employed, students and anyone not getting medical insurance benefits from an employer can benefit from this website. You can get free instant medical insurance quotes online or by phone. We work with all the private health insurance plans approved by the Connecticut Insurance Department.
Personal or Individual Health Insurance for CT families and the self-employed is our specialty. Click here for: private medical insurance quotes for other states.
Call 1-800-INSURANce (1-203-374-3645 if not in Connecticut) or click above for pricing on any of the healthcare insurance options available in Connecticut:
We are Alston and Joel Balkcom (father & son). Our office is in Bridgeport, Connecticut but our toll free number, the Internet and today's technology allow us to serve clients in New London, Hartford, New Haven, Norwalk and every other city in our state. When you call us or request instant quotes online, you will get our unbiased opinion regarding the plans, since we are appointed with all of the individual health insurance companies. We look forward to helping you whether you are a recently graduating student, an early retiree or self-employed.
CT Group health insurance quotes are also available through us. However, many of our clients who are self-employed or who have only a few employees will save by purchasing indivdual health insurance plan.
Personal Insurance Quotes for health, maternity, Medicare Supplement, homeowners and other personal insurance plans are available if you are looking for some other kind of insurance besides Connecticut health insurance.
Insurance for the self-employed is also available. If you are seeking health insurance for self-employed in Connecticut and believe that you qualify for both a group plan and an individual plan, the individual plan will probably be your best option. Group health insurance is typically much more expensive than individual medical coverage. We recommend group coverage for very small companies and the self employed only when they have significant medical histories that keep them from qualifying for an individual health insurance plan.
We want to make this easy for you. We specialize in medical insurance for Connecticut and want to make finding and comparing plans easy for you. We can answer your questions about Aetna, Anthem Blue Cross, Celtic, Cigna, Connecticare, Golden Rule and any other company offering individual or private health insurance in Connecticut.

Comments about 2% BHA Lotion - 3.3 oz:
I have only been using the BHA 2% Lotion for about a week and already I can see an improvement with the stubborn blackheads on my nose. I don't know how this stuff works, but it does. I will be ordering the entire Resist Anti-aging line in February and I cannot wait!

Great moisturizer for my oily skin
By ANITA
Even though this is advertised for dry/normal skin types, it's no problem for my oily acne-prone skin. After I tone, I apply my hyaluronic acid serum and then two pumps of this as my moisturizer all over my face, and SPF 50 in the AM. The consistency of the 2% BHA lotion is of a thick cream that needs some working in to absorb properly, but it seals in my serum and helps keep the congestion out of my skin. Only down side is the completely opaque bottle, I can't see how much is left.
By SARAH
Years ago I tried the 1% BHA Gel and my skin HATED it, I got a stubborn rash and my face was pretty much a mess. Fast-forward to now, I'm in my mid-30's and encountering the dreaded hormonal acne roller-coaster. My skin is **very dry** but I was getting these bad breakouts. If you are dry but still have acne issues, definitely try a sample of the BHA lotion! My previously angry/confused skin is loving this stuff. No rash, and it's keeping me clear. I won't be without it now.

Works great
By Sasha
This is my first skincare product to contain acids, and I'm very happy with my starter's choice. I never had acne, and was generally satisfied with my skin. My only concern were pores on my nose, and I tried a lot of products with no visible result, so I didn't put much hope in this. But it helped, and almost instantly! It also gives my skin a much more "polished" look and makes my face look very fresh and young.So, even if you think your skin is ok, try it, and see how "ok" becomes "great".
Not as absorbant as 1% BHA Lotion
By Miranda M.
I bought the 2% BHA lotion after running out of my 1% BHA lotion thinking that more BHA must be better... not in this case. 1% BHA absorbs into my skin fast and has the same amazing result. 2% also feels a bit too harsh for my sensitive skin. I ordered the 1% lotion again, and saving the 2% for when I have acne or skin irritations that call for more intensive exfoliation.
Perfect in winter
By Northstar5
Most of the year I use a liquid or gel version of either PC's 2% or 1% BHA product on my sensitive, breakout prone skin, but this winter I switched to this lotion version as my skin had been getting flaky and dry in the colder weather. Turned out to be a great move. Same excellent exfoliation but better protection for dry skin, and not a pimple in sight. Great idea, to have all these different versions of the same basic product. Her BHA has been a staple in my routine for almost twenty years.

I've used the liquid version of this and hated it. I went through it so fast because so much of the product was absorbed and lost inside the cotton balls I used to apply it. This lotion is perfect for me, and I think it will last me twice as long. It dries to a nice, matte finish that makes it comfortable to wear under makeup, if desired. I tried to go without a BHA for a few months, thinking I didn't need it, but I got far more acne and clogged pores without it. It's now a staple!
Best thing ever for blackheads !
By Kelly
I have been using this product ever since I heard it from the Wayne Goss's make-up video. This thing works! I also let my pre-teen daughter uses it and it does reduced the blackheads for her but I guess it will need more taking care of if to eliminate the whole problem. After all, she is at an acne prone age.
Skin Brightening without Drying
By Nicole W.
I saw immediate results after using this product for just a few days. My skin is clearer, brighter, more evenly toned, and better than it's been in years. I was a little concerned about it being too drying for my skin type, but have had no problems whatsoever with dryness due to the 2% lotion. It's perfect for sensitive skin and for someone who struggles with the seemingly contradictory issues of dryness and clogged pores at the same time. The lotion is easy to apply and feels great.
By Brittney S.
I love this product! It has done a great job minimizing/unclogging pores (even in the area around the sides of my nose) and has made my skin noticeably smoother and brighter. I don't have any serious acne, but I do occasionally get pimples or blackheads from makeup . Since I started using this, I have had nothing of the sort. If a small pimple does rise to the surface, I just dab this on top & it goes away. I added it to the Resist Retinal Serum and Moisture Boost Hydratinng Tx Cream. Awesome!
By Gia M.
Did nothing for me, my pores DID NOT minimized and it makes my skin kind of itchy, I did used it for about 4weeks giving it a chance to "adapt to my skin" NO LUCK, want to send it back since I cant use it.

Makes skin nice & soft
By Stephanie H.
This product's failure for me is due to my incorrect assumption that I had dry skin, but I actually had a damaged acid mantle. So the blame is all mine, I'll admit. It's a good product, but better suited for dry/very dry skin. I haven't seen a significant reduction in blackheads/whiteheads after a month's use, but again: my fault, not the product's. I will continue to use until I receive PC's 2%BHA liquid instead. If you have dry skin (for sure), get this product. I'm sure you'll love it
Works without drying my skin out!
By Jacqueline C.
I have dehydrated, combination skin in a really dry climate, and this product has smoothed out blackheads and closed comedones that I have had for years. The clogged pores on my nose and forehead are definitely diminished (without the flaking I've had with all the other products I've tried) and my skin looks brighter. As long as I follow with a moisturizer I don't have any tightness or flaking. The 'purge' only lasted a few weeks. Going to try the BHA 9 next!
By Dusty D
I didn't know that this BHA 2% lotion had alcahol in it!?? You know, I thought Paulas choice was so against alcahol and irritating ingredients in your skin care? What gives? I am not sure I will be using this anymore. I'm disappointed.
Customer Service Response: Hi there! We're against the bad alcohols used in some skin-care products, not the good ones, which are collectively known as fatty alcohols, which is what this product contains. More info here.
By Jude2
Strange tiny white bumps on my chin that appear to be whiteheads or flaky skin at the base of tiny hairs: Esthetician said they were a combination of oil and dry skin cells. Tried lots of products that didn't work. THIS LOTION WORKS--RIGHT AWAY! I had a sample I was hesitant to use it as lotions usually make me break out. NO BREAKOUTS, NO IRRITATION! Had a tiny bit of flaking, which only lasted a day. I recommend starting out using sparingly every other day. I'm ordering more!
Great, but watch out for over-moisturizing!
By Christina E.
I tried BHA (I usually use AHA), because I had a small breakout. I think I was over-moisturizing. I have combo skin, but on the dry side, so it's hard to strike a balance.Because of my dryness, I use either Moisture Boost or Skin Recovery cream. Covering this BHA lotion with those moisturizers was just too much, so I decided to go with the 2% liquid, which worked nicely.If you usually use a lighter moisturizer, this will likely work for you. Also leaves a nice matte finish!
Holy Grail Status!
By Lianne Y
WOW, this product saved my life. For so many years, I've been lead to believe that I'm a genetic freakshow because I have both atopic AND acne-prone skin at the same time. Paula's Choice saved my life because this product is designed for my exact skin type. I am forever thankful because modern skincare advertising tells me that my skin type should not exist, and I finally found a product that accommodates both issues. If you have both dry and acne-prone skin, give this a try.
best product I've tried so far
By Beth
I've been using this lotion for about a year now (thanks to Wayne Goss for recommending it!). I'd never even heard of BHA, but gave it a try. My skin has calmed down considerably as a result of using this exfoliant and I will continue to use it. Very pleased with the result. It works without drying out my skin like other acne lotions I've tried.Just one tip: be careful when applying that you don't get it on or near your lips, as it can be mildly irritating to the skin there, I've found.
GREAT lotion
By Anna Mary W.
I didn't like the topical options that came with the acne formulas Paula has created. However, I tried this product as a sample and loved it! It really helped clear up my tricky areas. Since I am using an exfoliant with BHA and am pregnant I am not adding this to my regimen until after I deliver (I'm nervous about using too much BHA--though it's probably harmless). Thankfully pregnancy has cleared up my skin too :) I can't wait to add this into my daily routine, though.
Great for Acne!!!
By Marcela
I have been dealing with low/moderate acne in cheeks for almost 10 years now I'm in my thirties. I have tried too many things and have never worked. I have been using this lotion for 3 months already and it's the only thing that has helped me get rid of my acne. However, Im not gonna lie that I have had maybe one pimple a month or none. This is a miracle for me because I was use to break out every month and some of them left me scars. It does work for my skin I really recommend it!
Makes my skin GLOW!
By Anika
I love this stuff! Its just the right amount of daily (or every other day) exfoliation to keep my skin looking fresh and clear. I get less breakouts when I am using this daily. Also give my skin a pretty glow. I definitely recommend!
By Robin C
I have been using PC products for years. I thought I needed AHA exfolients because I do have some sun damage, and so I used them for awhile but over the years I have found the AHA to be too harsh for my skin. I am 58 and have Northern European very fair and sensitive skin, prone to redness and rosacea. My dermatologist took me off of all AHAs and I used nothing for awhile. Then I discovered Paula's 2% BHA, hoping it might help with the sensitivity and redness. BINGO! Perfection.
Shrunk My Pores!
By Amanda C.
This lightweight lotion is a miracle worker on my face! After a few weeks of use, I have noticed that my pores have shrunk. I only need to use one pump to cover my whole face, awesome! It rubs in well, sinks right in, and it works wonders! I only use this once a day (AM) also. I love this stuff! It does not cause any redness or irritation to my face; no flakes either! My face never looks oily or greasy after using this or any of the Skin Recovery line products.
Good stuff & improving my skin
By Susan A
I have rosacea with very fair, very dry skin. My skin is dry from taking Accutane in my 20s. I've seen improvement in the redness from my rosacea since I've been using this product. I've been using it in the morning, and it's a little difficult to blend makeup over it, even if I put Skin Recovery Moisturizer over it. I think I'll try using it at night although I usually use my Metrogel at night. I'd like to see a smoother texture on this product, so only 4 stars.

Be the first to ask us a question about this product.
What makes this product unique?Skin Perfecting 2% BHA Lotion Exfoliant moisturizes as it exfoliates both the skin's surface and inside the pore, reshaping the pore lining, unclogging pores and improving skin cell turnover rate. This creates a dramatic improvement in the skin's appearance, feel, and function, leading to healthier skin. There is a great deal of research indicating that BHA (beta hydroxy acid) increases collagen production and drastically smooths the surface of skin. Additionally, BHA has antibacterial properties that attack blemish-causing bacteria. The lush texture of the 2% BHA Lotion makes skin feel satiny soft, while potent anti-irritants help calm a reddened, blotchy complexion.
This product is 100% fragrance- and colorant-free with a pH range of 3.2-3.8. Every Paula's Choice BHA product is formulated with additional soothing agents.
Who is this product for? All skin types may use this product, but the texture is especially suited for those with normal to very dry skin prone to blemishes.
NOTE: Those allergic to aspirin (acetylsalicylate) should not use products containing salicylic acid (beta hydroxy acid).

Detailed instructions on how/when to apply your Paula's Choice products can be found in our How to Put Together Your Own Skincare Routine article.
What's the difference between AHA and BHA exfoliants? Do I need both?
When properly formulated, both AHAs and BHA are brilliant options for exfoliating the surface of skin. Both AHA and BHA work to reduce wrinkles, stimulate collagen, and firm skin but each has its special qualities you'll want to consider when deciding which one to use:
If your skin is sun-damaged and you're also struggling with acne or clogged pores, add a BHA product to your routine.
If you'd like to use an AHA and BHA at the same time, that is an option, though not really necessary. Some people find they work well when they're applied at the same time, but if you want to give this a try it is best to apply them separately, one during the day and one in the evening.
How do I use an AHA or BHA exfoliant?
What strength of BHA should I use? Will a higher concentration provide better and faster results?
What makes the Skin Perfecting 2% BHA Lotion Exfoliant different from the 2% BHA Gel and Liquid?
Your AHA (glycolic acid) products have a higher percentage than your BHA (salicylic acid) products. Does this mean AHA is a stronger exfoliant?
At what point after my laser and/or peel procedure can I begin using my BHA exfoliant again?

The Banner of Love--February 15, 1952
Sleep would not come to the tired and worried little pastor. Tomorrow was meeting day and his task loomed dark and forbidding before him. He tried hard to think it all out, but wound up after a few hours in just a silent, tearless prayer: "Lord help me bear my cross like a man."
Next morning he waited at the place of meeting until the usual array of Church goers arrived. A bit late but anyway they were there. After the usual how do you do's the men sought their accustomed seats hung their hats on the same old nail and stuffing their hands down deep into their pockets they appeared all set for the occasion and to the seriously thinking little preacher they presented a sort of "Lets get it over with attitude."
The woman continued to discuss the many innocent and interesting things that filled their minds until a deacon said, "It is five minutes to eleven; if we are going to do any singing...."--and evidently they were not going to do much, or they would have started half an hour ago.
He pulled them through the first song, then an awkward pause and some one in a whispered tone finished telling what the song had cut short.
The pastor struggled with his message, half believing it was not appreciated, and the general atmosphere of indifference hung like a pall of gloom over the preacher's heart. When the last Amen was said both preacher and hearers were relieved.
Next Sunday the pastor goes to another of his Churches (he has four and of course they could not have preaching but once a month and some people can backslide in less than a month) and as he drove the long distance he meditated constantly on the word of God, praying, praying, as always for the grace he must have and when he arrived the sound of sweet gospel singing greeted his ear! Coming in and up the aisle he was warmly greeted by many who had been praying for him, some even wept because this privilege seemed so dear to them, a place in the house of God. They had not come into church so unprepared as the other church folks of last Sunday. They had spent some time weighing their own responsibilities. They had come to Church in a warm faith, and had drawn near the Lord in the 40-minute song service.
The tired little pastor was not tired any more, but his spirit soared to new heights and the joy of the meeting knew no bounds!
Most preachers CERTAINLY try to do their best and their congregations want to try to carry their end of the load. It takes a little thinking, praying and humbling. The great apostle said something about "Let us therefore fear, lest a promise being left us of entering into His rest, any of you should seem to come short of it."

If you're searching for the best diet to use for shedding pounds in 2014, you might want to take a bite out of the DASH diet. It won the best diet overall honors in U.S. News & World Report's annual rating of popular diets this year, reported the Meadville Tribune on Jan. 13.
What makes the DASH (Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension) plan so effective? It was created using clinical research designed to determine the most effective diet for reducing your blood pressure. In the process of conducting those studies, researchers discovered that the DASH diet is also safe and effective for short-term as well as permanent weight loss.
If you're interested in using the DASH diet for weight loss, calorie control is built into the plan because of the emphasis on low calorie vegetables and fruits. The plan features fruits, vegetables, whole grains, lean meats and low-fat dairy.
The diet also involves avoiding foods high in sugar, fat and salt, such as sweets, red meat and snacks. But you don't have to go cold turkey when it comes to those foods. Gradually phase out those unhealthy foods and phase in more fruits and vegetables until you've achieved your goal.
In addition, you'll need to learn to track your sodium intake.Your goal: 1,500 to 2,400 milligrams daily. Read the labels on foods ranging from bread to soup, and replace that salt shaker with salt-free spices and herbs.
And when it comes to dairy, you've got a green light on low-fat forms of that food group, from yogurt to cheese. It plays a role in keeping your blood pressure low while providing your body with enough protein.
Trying to figure out a way to add more variety? In an exclusive interview on Jan. 14, we consulted Marla Heller, a registered dietitian who authored "The Dash Diet Weight Loss Solution: 2 Weeks to Drop Pounds, Boost Metabolism, and Get Healthy" (click for details).
Marla says that creating meal plans that use unprocessed, natural foods is a key way to reduce sodium and take control of your overall calorie intake. Here is a sample day from her plan:
- 8–12 ounces latte
- 1–3-egg veggie omelet
- 4–6 ounces tomato juice, low-sodium
Midmorning Snack (Optional)
- 4–6 ounces strawberries
- 10 cashews
- Cheeseburger, with whole-wheat bun, if available. If not, have it without the bun.
- Broccoli
- Coleslaw
- Small or medium pear
Midafternoon Snack
- 2 deviled eggs
- Small or medium plum
Before-Dinner Snack (Optional)
- 10 peanuts in the shell (20 individual peanuts)
Dinner (see recipes below)
- Rosemary Pork Chop with Balsamic Glaze
- Arugula, Peach, and Almond Salad
- No-added sugar frozen fudge bar
Marla suggests getting into the habit of creating your own meals to reduce the amount of sodium in canned and frozen foods. The following recipes and notes are from her cookbook: "The Everyday DASH Diet Cookbook: Over 150 Fresh and Delicious Recipes to Speed Weight Loss, Lower Blood Pressure, and Prevent Diabetes."
Rosemary Pork Chops with Balsamic Glaze
Makes 4 servings
Cooking with fresh herbs is one of the best ways to improve your everyday meals. There are many times when dried herbs will do. But this dish relies on just a few ingredients, so the bracing flavor of fresh rosemary is key. To keep the lean chops moist, cook them with medium heat so they brown at a steady pace without burning.
- Olive oil in a pump sprayer
- 1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh rosemary
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- Four 4-ounce boneless pork loin chops, cut about 1/2-inch thick
- 1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
1. Spray a large nonstick skillet with the oil and heat over medium heat. Season the pork with the rosemary, salt, and pepper. Add to the skillet and cook until the undersides are nicely browned, about 4 minutes. Flip the pork and cook, adjusting the heat as needed so the pork cooks steadily without burning, until the other side is browned and the pork feels firm when pressed in the center with a fingertip, about 4 minutes more. Transfer each chop to a dinner plate.
2. Off heat, add the vinegar to the skillet. (Do not inhale the fumes, as they are strong.) Using a wooden spoon, scrape up the browned bits in the bottom of the skillet. The residual heat of the skillet should be enough to evaporate the vinegar to about 2 tablespoons. If necessary, return the skillet to medium heat to reduce the vinegar slightly. Drizzle the glaze over each chop and serve hot.

Arugula, Peach, and Almond Salad
Makes 4 servings
Make this salad in the summer when peaches and arugula are in season and at their best. Cling peaches (you will have to cut away the flesh from the pit) arrive first in late spring, and then the freestones (with loose pits) show up throughout the summer. Nectarines are delicious in this salad, too. The combination of spicy arugula and sweet peaches will have you going back for more.
- 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
- 1 tablespoon olive oil, preferably extra-virgin
- 1 tablespoon water
- Pinch of kosher salt
- 5 ounces arugula, well washed and dried
- 3 ripe peaches, pitted and sliced
- 1/2 cup sliced natural almonds, toasted
- Freshly ground black pepper
1. Whisk the vinegar, water, oil, and salt together in a large bowl. Add the arugula, peaches, and almonds and toss. Season with the pepper. Serve immediately.

When it comes to fuel emissions, there are four main exhaust ingredients that have negative effects on health and the environment: nitrogen oxides, particulates, hydrocarbons and carbon monoxide.
For us at Volvo Trucks, manufacturing heavy diesel with these substances vehicles, the main focus is on cutting down nitrogen oxides and particulates. Results have also been good: during the past 20 years, emissions of these substances from new trucks have dropped by 75 and 85 percent respectively, thanks to various technological innovations.
Fuel emission regulations
In order to further improve air quality, exhaust emissions are nowadays strictly regulated in most countries and limits for what each vehicle may emit are constantly being lowered.
The European Union (EU) adopted its standards for new diesel-fuelled trucks in the early 1990s (so called Euro 1 standards) and have now updated them in different steps: Euro 2 in 1996, Euro 3 in 2000, Euro 4 in 2005 and Euro 5 in 2008. In the US, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has announced similar directions. The same also goes for Japan, while Australia and a number of countries in Asia and Latin America are quickly developing along these lines.
Future focus
Now, the latest of the EU emissions legislation stipulates a healthy challenge: to cut the nitrogen oxides by a further two-thirds within the coming ten years. At Volvo Trucks we favor this, and we are working hard to meet these emerging requirements. But to be able reach this target, there is a main need for more widespread access to higher-quality fuel and further development on different exhaust after-treatments. Learn more about after-treatments by using the menu to the right.
