The state budget is nigh! Yesterday, Jan Murphy took questions about education, liquor privatization and more to establish the priorities and the potential impact of the impending budget.
For questions that went unanswered, two members from the House Appropriations Committee will log in for live discussions this week. The ranking Democrat of the House Appropriations Committee Rep. Joe Markosek, of Allegheny and Westmoreland counties, will be ready to talk from 9 a.m. to 9:30 a.m. on Wednesday.
Woodspirit asked: "What is the very latest on pension reform? The bills out there now are over 350 pages long. Does anyone understand them? What's the difference between the House version and the Senate version (HB 1350 and SB 922)? Do these bills also affect legislators, Gov. Corbett and cabinet members as well? Thank you."
The House Appropriations Committee Chairman Rep. William Adolph, a Republican out of Delaware County, will be here from 10:30 a.m. to 11 a.m. on Thursday.
Jan Murphy answered: "The Senate Finance Committee is expected to vote this week on a bill that would move future state and school employees into a defined contribution, or 401k-style, pension plan. But from talking with House and Senate Republican leadership sources, this issue has the longest way to go to get done of all the issues that have been made part of the budget talks. As for the differences in the plans, I can honestly say I haven't scrutinized the bills that closely but both were introduced at the same time and said to be virtually identical."
Terry Parris Jr. asked: "Why does the state budget have a June 30 deadline and what happens if the lawmakers blow through that deadline without a budget?"
Jan Murphy answered: "The state operates on a July 1 to June 30 fiscal year, so it loses the authority to spend money on core programs and services."
Muskrat1973 asked: "There were going to be certain changes in the state budget as it related to non-union employees. One of these was to have non-union management employees move to the full 40 hour work week. Is this still part of these budgets?"
Jan Murphy answered: "Last I heard, the governor does plan on moving non-union workers to a 40-hour workweek, but I understand that doesn't apply to all agencies. The Auditor General's office has indicated that they plan on keeping their non-union folks on a 37.5-hour workweek for budgetary reasons. Those moving to 40 hours will see their pay rise to reflect the additional hours worked. The governor's budget office says the switch to a 40-hour work week for people under the governor's jurisdiction would cost the state $21 million more a year for that additional two-and-a-half hours of work. I'm told this change is still under discussion."
mikejake315 asked: "Jan — any sense on what the Senate will be proposing this week on liquor privatization? And, do you ultimately think there will be a deal before June 30 on this specific issue?"
Jan Murphy answered: "I wish I knew. I really do. I understand the Senate Republicans will be discussing this issue again today behind closed doors as they try to arrive at a plan that will garner 26 votes and pass the House. There's a lot of varying interests among the senators so finding that common ground is going to be challenging."
Terry Parris Jr. asked: "There's a lot of discussion on pension reform and liquor privatization. But what about education[?] Will there be more money for it?"
Jan Murphy answered: "This is one area where there will definitely be [an] increase. Governor Corbett proposed a $90 million increase in basic education and the House Republican's budget upped that to $100 million. Some are pushing for even more, but there's a lot of interests competing for dollars."
virgopa asked: "Do you think the budget will be bigger than last year? And are any DPW programs now back on the chopping block when revenues came into the state slower than expected? I keep thinking they might divert more dollars to education and take from DPW. Your thoughts, Jan?"
Jan Murphy answered: "I think the 2013-14 budget will call for more spending than this year's $27.8 billion budget. Gov. Corbett proposed spending more than $28.4 billion but the GOP-controlled House and Senate seem determined to make history by passing a budget that spends less than the governor proposed. As for diverting welfare spending to education, I haven't heard of any concerted push to do that."
mikejake315 asked: "...given all the external pressures, do you see a middle ground in the future [an Medicaid expansion] that would specify certain asks of the federal government from the administration in exchange for expansion that could make it into legislation?"
Jan Murphy deferred to David Wenner to answer: "It's hard to imagine there's no viable middle ground, especially with several Republican governors around the country backing the expansion pretty much as laid out by the Affordable Care Act, and some Republican legislators in Pa. willing to go along with it. The Obama administration obviously has a huge vested interest in enabling Republican governors to sign on, and look OK while doing so. When you look closely at it, the things Gov. Corbett is holding out for -- adjustments to benefits of the present Medicaid program, employment-related requirements -- it doesn't seem like all that much. And regarding the employment-related objectives, people who favor the expansion are very quick to stress that the vast majority of people who would benefit already have jobs. So add to that the fact that, if Pa. doesn't expand, billions of tax dollars from Pa. taxpayers will be paying for health care for residents of many other states, and given the fed's vested interest in expansion, it's hard to imagine there's no viable path, even in our dysfunctional political world. Also, when you stop and think about the political clout of Pennsylvania hospitals, and how much they want it, and what they stand to lose, you begin to think this is very doable, if not likely."
32koufax asked: "Isn't it true that any pension reform would have to amend the Pa. state constitution and would also have to pass TWO consecutive sessions of the state legislature before it would become law?"
Jan Murphy answered: "The process for amending the constitution requires the same bill has to pass both chambers in two consecutive sessions and then go to the voters for approval. As for pension reform, the unions have promised to challenge the constitutionality of any plan the Legislature passes, which has made some lawmakers gunshy about trekking into these waters. However, the Corbett administration and some lawmakers believe there is a way to change the pension plan, particularly for new hires, without violating the constitution."
32koufax asked: "What is 'their way' to change the pension plan that wouldn't violate the state constitution? New hires, perhaps, but the state constitution is pretty cut and dry on current employees."
Jan Murphy answered: "My colleague Donald Gilliland probed that in this story."
Chris asked: "Do you think Gov. Corbett would give up his string of consecutive on-time budgets to hold out for liquor or pension reform? He doesn't have a lot to campaign on at this point and I don't know if he'd be willing to give up the on-time budgets."
Jan Murphy answered: "He has said he would. I'm sure he would like to get more than an on-time budget and I also am sure he believes he has achieved other accomplishments for which he deserves credit. But the ones he is working on now — pension reform, liquor reform and a substantial transportation funding plan — are all issues past governors have tried and failed. At the very least, if none of them get done, he could say he pushed the General Assembly further on these issues than any of his predecessors, at least in modern history."
mikejake315 asked: "Will the Senate look to amend the House budget bill or pass something on their own? How much different do you think the Senate version will be from the House passed version?"
Jan Murphy answered: "There will be some changes but it won't be a complete overhaul. Leadership sources say the two chambers are close together on the spending side. It is addressing the revenue gap and positioning the state for 2014-15 that is the focus of a lot of discussions these days."
Terry Parris Jr. asked: "Jan, it seemed like transportation should be one area for bipartisan support. What's the hold-up?"
Jan Murphy answered: "There are some House members who dislike the increased fees, fines and surcharges included in the Senate-passed plan. They think now is not the time to hit up their constituents with higher costs. But that aside, there are some who have linked passage of a transportation plan (the Senate Republicans' top priority) with passage of liquor reform (the House Republicans' top priority). So it's possible that if the Senate can't deliver a liquor privatization plan that the House can accept, the House may refuse to run the transportation bill."
Terry Parris Jr. asked: "The hot button topics seem to be pension reform, liquor privatization and transportation funding...presuming the budget is passed, what of these three is next for passage? Can you rank them?"
Jan Murphy answered: "Senate says transportation would be next. House would say it's liquor. So I guess I would have say they are tied, literally. It's unlikely one passes without the other. So that leaves pensions - the most complicated of all of the issues - likely at the bottom on the priority list."
32koufax asked: "The current liquor system 'guarantees' a steady annual revenue stream ($500 million, perhaps even as high as $750 million) this year alone. If the system is privatized, outside of the 'one-time' profit (allegedly) from the sale of the state stores, what guarantee, if any, is there that there would be an annual revenue stream in the outlying years? I don't believe there is any, correct?"
Jan Murphy answered: "There would the guaranteed tax revenue made off of liquor and beer sales, but whether that would generate as much as $750 million is a question. I have heard some Republicans say that our alcohol consumption would have to nearly double to produce that kind of revenue, but I can't say I know that to be the case."

Mark Nunn and his wife of 37 years, Sharon, have lived in Summerville more than seven years and love it so much that Nunn decided to write a novel about it.
Summerville, which was independently published and is available on Amazon.com and Kindle, is a fictional coming-of-age story that involves family dysfunction, redemption, revelations, friendships and more. The story takes place in Summerville, and is intertwined with the towns history, with the storyline covering events between 1947 and 1967.
The story is interesting Summerville inspired it and, to me, its a lot like reading The Body by Stephen King, he said.
The couple is originally from Charlotte, N.C. Before moving to Summerville they resided in a condo in Mt. Pleasant, overlooking the Wando River.
One Sunday afternoon the Nunns found themselves driving around Summerville, hungry, and decided to pick up some chicken from the local KFC.
When Nunn tells the story he recalls driving their dark blue Pontiac Firebird with the T-tops off. He spotted an abandoned restaurant which by its outline, appeared to have been a Hardees, and decided to park there to eat their food.
Then an idea came to Nunn what if a person came to a place like Summerville and began to see buildings, cars and people from the past, moving about their business anytime said person looked into their rearview mirror? If they looked anywhere else they would see the present but in the mirror they would only see the past but not just any past the year 1957.
A ghost story idea began to form for Nunn. What if this person was a 16-year-old boy who was unknowingly driving a car on July 4, 1967 that had killed someone in a hit-and-run on July 4, 1957? And what if seeing the past in his rearview mirror was part of a haunting by the victim an African-American teenager killed 10 years before the Civil Rights Movement by a white man?
Nunns story focuses on the 16-year-old boy dealing with this situation, all while acquiring his first job and first girlfriend, and getting no support from his dysfunctional family particularly his father.
I am 58 years old, but I was 16 once and remember the struggles of coming of age when for a time, your father was a god who lived on the mountain top, Nunn said. I also remember the joy of driving your first car with all the freedom it brings and remember the magic and mystery of the first girl you fall in love with.

Before her suicide, Los Angeles Police Department Detective Susan Clemmer had aced a job interview with Gangs and Narcotics Captain Kevin McCarthy, leaving him deeply impressed with her education, passion and talent.
He arrived at his office the next day to find a letter on his desk.
"It was from Susan, apologizing because she felt she had let me down in the (interview)," McCarthy recalled to more than 100 people gathered at Clemmer's memorial service at the Eternal Valley mortuary chapel on Thursday. "She really thought she did a bad job in the interview, when, in fact, she couldn't have done better."
His was one of several stories told by colleagues and relatives that painted a picture of a sensitive and caring but guarded woman who always put others first and poured herself into her work.
Clemmer, 41, of Valencia, killed herself on July 6 in the lobby of the Santa Clarita Valley Sheriff's Station. It stunned those who knew her.
"She would never tell people if she was having a problem," said Detective Lisa Wong, a close friend and detective in Clemmer's unit.
Clemmer's 19-year career with the Los Angeles Police Department began in the national spotlight.
She had been a key witness in the trials of the officers charged in the Rodney King beating that led to the Los Angeles Riots of 1992. The then-rookie beat officer rode with King in the ambulance and later testified that he was laughing and spat blood on her uniform.
The Milwaukee native moved with her family to El Paso, Texas and later the Santa Clarita Valley.
A photograph slideshow during the service traced Clemmer's life:
In one, she was a tiny infant. Another, a little girl on Santa Claus's lap. One photo showed her wearing an orange lifeguard uniform — she was an avid swimmer and a lifeguard at Castaic Lake.
Clemmer as a fresh-faced Los Angeles police officer posed for another shot. And, finally, she grinned proudly for the camera next to a "sold" sign in front of her Valencia home.
A cadre of LAPD officers honored Clemmer with a three-volley salute and presented a folded U.S. flag to her parents.
Her cousin, Rev. Susan Knowlton, spoke for the family and described her as a detective through and through, who enjoyed nothing more than spending holidays and playing games with her relatives. Her relatives and fellow police officers alike made reference to her smile.
"I have her smile and the rest of our squad will have her smile for the rest of our lives," said Detective Kenny Bryant, who worked directly with her.
Bryant turned to Clemmer's gray-haired mother and father, who sat quietly in the front row during the service.
"Thank you for allowing us to have Susan the time that we had her," he said. "Thank you for sharing her with us."

TravelPod Member ReviewsThe Whitney Hotel New Orleans
Great location close to everything and well within walking distance
This review is the subjective opinion of a TravelPod member and not of TravelPod.com.
Historical Traveler Reviews The Whitney Hotel New Orleans
Outstanding Poydras location value
The Whitney is a unique hotel with the genuine ambience of New Orleans.
A great location and a noticeable lack of the cheese that is the Riverwalk/Jackson Brewery/Harrah's, etc., the Whitney is a great place to stay. The room we stayed in (416, two double beds) was spacious enough for four. The bathroom was monstrous. The only drawbacks were 1) absolutely no view, and 2) the comforters looked to be as old as the actual building. They were tattered, stringy, and just looked like they had been dragged through the Bourbon Street alleyways after Mardi Gras.
Surprisingly, however, the bed was incredibly comfortable. The staff was friendly and professional. The service was precise and timely.Without a doubt, I would recommend this hotel, especially for the price (through Hotwire).
Almost Great
OK, Let's just say the room size is a cracker box to say the least.
There is literally a one-to-two foot walk all the way around the bed and a three-foot-by-three-foot entryway. They did manage to cram in a desk with a chair and an extra chair and entertainment center/closet (that's right...there isn't even a closet). I say pull that stuff out so I can move around.
I am a By Request member, but because they had to give me one night free (I'll explain that part later), I assume that's why I didn't get upgraded as specified in their By Request information.
As a By Request member I did have coke, bottled water, and fresh fruit in my room which was nice. And robes (assuming that is standard but don't know). I also received a free breakfast coupon when I made my reservation (unfortunately it was only for a continental breakfast, and I decided I would much rather have beignets...so we passed on it).
The hotel itself is beautiful and a great location (we had no trouble walking to and all around the French Quarter (only two city blocks away). And we never walk anywhere. I loved New Orleans (first trip, so I'm sure it made me not hate the hotel for that reason). It is right on Poydras, so the traffic can be noisy, but after walking around the city all day, I was tired and it didn't bother me.
The beds were mediocre (I hate feather pillows and bed was hard...but if you like those two things, you'll love it). Again, no problem sleeping since we were tired.
Also, as others have said, parking is ridiculous. They have valet but no one is there to take your car. They tell you to park on the street and they will get it, but no one shows up and your car is there illegally. I decided to just go in and hope it didn't get towed before they moved it (it didn't luckily). Not great service if you ask me. On top of all that, we had to pay 22.50 a day for parking. Hear that's pretty standard, but who knows.
New Orleans is fablous. Did the St. Charles Trolley to see the Garden District and amazing homes (no walking...loved that part). Did Cafe Du Monde (here's a secret...don't go on Saturday...that's the worst day...at least 100 people in line...if you do have to go on Saturday, go to the to-go line, a waiter will take your order and bring it to you, then sit down...all the idiots in the table line would never even see some of the garden area tables open up...great way to beat the system :) And don't forget to eat at Muriel's on Jackson Square. Best meal I've ever had (and it's casual attire though a fancy place...who wants to wear a coat or a tie or slacks on vacation?). The Gumbo Shop, Mike Anderson's and Cafe Beignet are great as well...I don't think you can get a bad meal in that town.
Anway...lastly is the deal I got. I went on to Wyndham.com and saw they have a low rate guarantee. If you can find a lower rate on the internet and show them, you get a night free and they match the rate! I know shocking. How stupid is that. Of course you can find a lower rate. I have a feeling they will stop that policy soon, but as long as it is going on, do it. All you do is find the rate on Wyndham.com, find a lower rate on Orbitz or somewhere (use the Quick Check on this site), book on Wyndham.com, go to Orbitz and take a screen shot of the lower rate (that's for backup in case they ask to see it), go back to Wyndham and submit the request for a credit through their web match program. I got an email saying they would contact me in X# of days, and on that day they emailed me saying I would not have to pay for my first night.
What a deal. I think I got a cheaper rate for that hotel than I did in Shreveport, La the night before. Needless to say, this little deal is what got their rating higher for me. Otherwise I would have said average. But for the price (about $60 a night during prime season) you can't beat it.
Will definitely come back!
This was one of the better Wyndhams I've stayed at. I had a cheap price of $100/night. Being a ByRequest member, I got a free bottle of water, free bottle of Heineken, 2 M&M bags, super comfy bathrobe, and cucumber eye pads to use and relax in my super clean and fairly big room. The things that set this hotel apart were: the digital scale, lit magnifiying mirror. Very nice chocolate brown marble bathrooms with pulsating shower head. Very quiet location on Poydras. It was near the W, Harrah's Casino, 24/7 diner called Huey's, the St. Charles Ave.
streetcar, and the Kinkos.
Very charming small hotel
Great small property.Tons of charm.Very Helpful staff(Sarah, the By request manager, was very helpful)Very good house keeping,ok room service,GREAT location-close enough to walk to lots of attractions,but far enough away from the insanity of the quarter.Huge bathroom in my room.The room was very nicley decorated.I will definintely stay here again.
Great stay
Went for a 30th anniversary trip for 3 nites. After reading other reviews, took advantage of all suggestions: joined By Request and got 2 nights for 89 each and the 3rd night free. My husband had to make many long distance calls and there were no charges involved. Not only that, we got the free wine and cheese and crackers. It was charming and our room was very lovely and I thought had lots of personality. The bath products were a plus also. The hotel was one block from the trolley but several blocks from Canal, so be prepared for it to be about a 1/2 mile walk to the French Quarter. However, we went many other places: DDay, Magazine Street, etc, that we would have walked from wherever we stayed. I am sure there were many places we could stay and probably would have loved, but who can deny that $200 for 3 nights in a fabulous hotel in New Orleans is anything to complain about? Also, the week before New Year's is a GREAT time to go to New Orleans. Very quiet and not crowded at all.
Liked the Whitney!!!
We stayed at the Wyndham Whitney in October.It is a lovely historic bank converted into a hotel in 2000, retaining much of its original architecture (think wedding cake frosting) and charm. The front desk help was friendly and helpful with suggestions about directions and where to eat. It is within walking distance of anywhere you want to go in NO. BUT avoid the breakfast--our sausage wasalmost raw and the toast was cold--but that is our only complaint. **TIP ask for a room with a window. Our room had a frosted window that obviously faced a building behind us and it felt cell-like. We would stay here again. Very quiet and charming!
OK Stay
Took a getaway to New Orleans Sept. 5-8. Whitney had a great weekend price, so my husband and I gave it a try.
Since it's an historic bank builiding, and is located in the Central Business District, mostly businessmen stay at this hotel. On arrival, the front desk person was not very friendly at first. I guess we had on sweats and comfy clothes from our travel, so we didn't quite look the part of the "typical" business guests. However, after giving our name, receptionist realized we had a reservation and was much more pleasant from then on. Front Desk staff and Bellman were very helpful throughout the stay in assisting us with restaurant reservations, tours, getting taxis etc.
Room service - Staff does a good job. Only downside is they cleaned our room really late each day, like after 3:00 pm. We wanted to relax, shower etc. after visiting the zoo. Only to return at 2:50 pm to notice our room still not cleaned. But, they quickly got to it, and did a good job when completed.
Rooms are nice. Bathrooms really nice and large. Quiet hotel in a central location. Very close to French Quarter and St. Charles Streetcar line is right outside on the corner. Definitely a nice place to stay if you want quiet and easy access to the sights of NO.
My husband and I stayed at "The Whitney" August 14, 2003 thru August 17, 2003. We found a fabulous deal over the internet where you pay for 2 nights and get the 3rd night FREE. The cost was $218.00 + tax ($109.00 per night) for a King Size Parlor Suite. (Living room, bedroom & large bath). Lovely room! The location is ideal. We walked to the D-Day Museum, Harrah's Casino, Bourbon Street, The Riverwalk, The Superdome etc. etc. The staff at the hotel were courteous, thoughtful and extremely helpful. When we return to New Orleans we certainly will stay at this hotel again. Sincerely, Pat & Vic
Great Value and Location
We stayed at the Whitney on December 23-30, 2002 at an excellent rate of $79. (Keep in mind that Christmas week in New Orleans is the slowest week of the year for hotels, so bargain rates abound.)
The Whitney is a converted 1880's bank building that retains a good bit of the original architecture. It's a very attractive hotel and just opened about 3 years ago, so the decor and furnishings are all fresh and new-looking, but in keeping with the period flavor of the building.
The hotel has a great location on the border between the quiet Central Business District and the up-and-coming Warehouse District, about 5 short blocks to the edge of the French Quarter. It's very easy to walk to many attractions in the city.
The housekeeping was a little spotty (our room was missed completely one day), but otherwise service was very good. I suspect the housekeeping glitch was holiday-related. They were extremely apologetic when we mentioned it to them the next day. Desk staff were uniformly pleasant and helpful.
We had looked forward to trying out the hotel restaurant, 56 Degrees, which has a great reputation, but it was closed for lunch and dinner during our entire stay -- again, due to very low occupancy. (This is not unusual in New Orleans at Christmastime. When we stayed at the Sheraton over the holidays two years ago, many services were shut down.)
We had a remarkably horrible breakfast in the Whitney's restaurant on our last day. (Eggs not cooked to order and with weird purple/black marks, bacon nearly raw.) Mine was so bad that I sent it back, and it was removed from the bill. Service during that breakfast was also extremely slow (I waited 20 minutes for the bacon to be recooked, but never saw it again) and unenthusiastic. Hopefully it was just a case of the regular staff being on vacation or something...
Overall, I would heartily recommend this hotel, but advise approaching the breakfast with caution.
Best accomodations I've had in a while
My husband and I stayed at the Whitney Hotel in New Orleans this past Memorial Day weekend. The hotel is fabulous. The rooms are large and emmaculate. We had a great view of the city. The hotel is just a few blocks from the Riverwalk, the Aquarium of the Americas, Harrah's Casino, and the French Quarter. Canal Street (one of the famous trolley car routes through town) is just one block over. The staff is very helpful and friendly. Valet parking will cost you about $22/day. However, valet is extremely slow because the garage is some 5-6 blocks away, so be sure to call for your car at least 15 min ahead of time. This hotel has Golden Door products and a shower massage (all baths are marble). Very quiet hotel in historical Whitney bank building.
I highly recommend this hotel if you want to be within walking distance of all activities without staying in the congested, noisy French Quarter.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do you accept credit cards?We do not accept credit cards. Checks or money orders should be made payable to William & Mary Law School.
Can I get financial aid through William & Mary?Visiting students must apply for educational loans through your home institution (the institution which will grant your degree). The Student Financial Aid Office at the College of William & Mary will process Direct Subsidized, Unsubsidized, GradPLUS, and private educational loans for William & Mary students only.
Do I have to live in the dorm?
You can make your own housing arrangements if you prefer, however be aware that our office is not set up to help you wih this. We recommend that students live in the dormitory unless there are compelling reasons for you to live off campus. A large part of the study abroad experience is the interaction with other students from other law schools and this interaction is greatly reduced for those who do not live in the dorm.
What is the cost for my spouse to go?A spouse will pay the same room and board fee that a participating student pays if living in the dorm in a single room. Most of the rooms are single rooms; however, there are a few double rooms. They are available on a first-come, first-served basis to married couples only. The cost for a double room is slightly less than the cost of two single rooms.
Are most of the program participants William & Mary students?No, the majority of participants each year are from many different law schools throughout the U.S. About 20 to 35% of the participants in the program are William & Mary students. In 2013, 43 students, including 8 from William & Mary, attended the Madrid Program. These students represented 20 law schools from across the United States. In addition, seven Spanish law students attended classes and participated in the program activities.
How will my photo be used?Participants must send us a small photo (hard copy or digital) to be used to make a photo directory to help faculty and students get to know everyone's names more quickly.

A:Add Chia Serum (Perricone MD) to the neuropepetide firming moisturizer for added moisture and brightnessAnswered on 3/30/2016 by Mimi from New York, NY
A:Thank you for contacting Perricone MD.
There are five steps to following the Perricone regime and they are:
1a. Cleanser
1b. Treatment Mask
2. Toner or Serum
3. Exfoliant
4. Treatment
5. Moisturizer
The Neuropeptide Facial Cream (STEP 4) is a treatment and should be applied first and the Neuropeptide Firming Moisturizer (STEP 5) is a moisturizer and it should always follow last.

1 answer
A:Thank you for contacting Perricone MD.
The Neuropeptide Firming Moisturizer is recommended for our clients in the advanced stages of aging, that have a lot of crepiness and sagging loose skin.
If this is not your concern and you are in need of a moisturizer for dry skin I recommend either the Deep Moisture Therapy or the Hypoallergenic Nourishing Moisturizer; they are both excellent moisturizers for dry skin.

Q:Can I use this product instead of High Potency Amine Face Lift and High Potency Evening Repair? I have noticed that retinol is drying to my skin and I am searching for something else. I am 64 years old, and have used Perricone products since my late 40's with great success. Face finishing moisturizer used to do it for me, but I think I need more now as I have aged. I would like to limit my routine to 2 or 3 products that would help me most. I have noticed lines and sagging around my mouth and lower facial area as well as enlarged pores. Thanks for your answer as this will be quite an investment for one product. Where does cold plasma fit into the routine or does it?Asked on 11/26/2014 by Retired and new Grandma from Gilroy,California
1 answer
A:Thank you for contacting Perricone MD.
The Neuropeptide Firming Moisturizer is a moisturizer and not a replacement for the High Potency treatments. However, this moisturizer can be applied over the High Potency Treatments and this will eliminate the dryness you've been experiencing.
Here is what I recommend for the lines and creases:
Acyl-Glutathione is a phenomenal treatment that addresses "accelerated signs of aging." The accelerated signs of aging driven by hormonal changes and stress are universally characterized by:
• Helps to minimize the appearance of lines and creases.
• Visibly improves the look of skin texture.
• Improves the level of moisture leaving skin feeling more supple and resilient.
• Addresses dryness and diminishes the look of enlarged pores.
This patent pending formula dramatically reduces the appearance of creases and other signs of skin aging. This is an AM and PM treatment and a moisturizer should follow.
I hope this is helpful.

Q:What is the difference between neuropeptide firming moisturizer and neuropeptide night cream?Asked on 11/26/2014 by Kimberly from Austin, Texas
1 answer
A:Thank you for contacting Perricone MD.
The Neuropeptide Night Cream is a treatment that addresses loss of elasticity, diminishes fine lines, wrinkles and creases as well as firming the skin.
The Neuropeptide Firming Moisturizer is an (AM & PM) moisturizer that is always applied last over the treatments.
I hope this is helpful.
Happy Holidays!Answered on 12/9/2014 by Perricone MD Skincare Specialist from Perricone MD Customer Care
Q:I'm presently using Cold Plasma, DMAE Amine Face lift and Cold Plasma Sub D during the day. From the reviews it sounds like the Neuropeptide Firming Moisturizer may be a way for me to eliminate some of these products. Would the Neuropeptide take the place of all three?Asked on 11/23/2014 by Guamamamma from Boerne, Texas
1 answer
A:Thank you for contacting Perricone MD.
The Neuropeptide Firming Moisturizer is a moisturizer, not a treatment and it does not replace any of the treatments you are currently using.
However, you are missing the final step in your current regime which is a moisturizer. I recommend adding the Neuropeptide Firming Moisturizer; which can be applied last over your treatments both AM and PM.
I hope this is helpful.Answered on 11/24/2014 by Perricone MD Skincare Specialist from Perricone MD Customer Care
Q:I have used many products by dr. perricone.
I use face firming , cold plasma eye and face.
Is the neuropeptide line ok' for slightly sensitive skin with roscesea?
Thank you!!!Asked on 11/14/2014 by Fran from Boston, ma
1 answer
A:Thank you for contacting Perricone MD
For rosacea we actually recommend the Face Finishing Moisturizer, and for sensitive skin we recommend the Hypoallergenic Nourishing Moisturizers. Either of these two moisturizers can be used with your current regime.
The Neuropeptide Firming Moisturizer may be too strong for your sensitive skin.
I hope this is helpful.Answered on 11/24/2014 by Perricone MD Skincare Specialist from Perricone MD Customer Care

I am 59, and though I am blessed to look a bit young for my age (I dress and act young), I am experience the horrible "droop" on my face, most especially along my chin line. I can't afford plastic surgery, and don't know that I could justify it to myself, morally. (So much money when people go without food, etc.) But I do insist on taking good care of my skin. There are no products on the market even close to Dr. Perricone's. They are the ones that actually do exactly what they claim to do, and I have tried everything. I am most concerned, these days, with firming. Once again, I try everything. This product does it. My jaw line IS firmer, the droop is tightening up. It makes me so happy. I would go on TV for this product. You can't go wrong. And it is so good for your skin -- after using, your skin will just glow. And it smells great. Don't hesitate. Get this now.

I don't have any real wrinkles yet, but I do have fine lines. I have not seen a difference in my fine lines after trying this product out, but my skin definitely feels firm and more contoured. Also, this cream hasn't irritated my irritation prone skin at all. In fact, when I awake my face feels very balanced and calm- that must be good for anti-aging.

I use this in the a.m. and p.m.; In the morning, I focus on the jawline, chin and,neck. At night, I use it on my neck & face. I make sure it is applied over the crow's feet area and around the lips. I work it upward on my neck. It works if you are consistent. I believe it is better than the Neuropeptide cream. I have used it for 3-years. The 2 oz. Jar lasts 6 months approximately. When you divide that out, it is affordable. I have tried other moisturizers & always come back to this.

I purchased this Neuropeptide firming cream from QVC. It was a package of 2 creams.... 1 for daytime and the other for evening. I LOVE THIS product! I must admit, I am using the product at bedtime more frequently every other night (due to my rosacea issues) and this product is fantastic! It makes my skin flawless! It glides on very easily and I use it on certain areas of my face, not my entire face. Any lines, pores, pigmentation, discoloration has VANISHED!

Kane elected Pa. attorney general
HARRISBURG -- Political rookie Kathleen Kane has become the first woman and first Democrat to be elected Pennsylvania attorney general.
She defeated Republican David Freed, the district attorney of Cumberland County.
Kane, 46, spent more than 12 years as a Lackawanna County assistant district attorney and proved to be a scrappy campaigner in her first bid for elective office. The Scranton resident beat former U.S. Rep. Patrick Murphy in the Democratic primary in April.
Freed, 42, stressed his 15 years of prosecutorial experience, including seven years in his present job. The Camp Hill resident was unopposed in the primary.

Suspect in Dallas-area killing arrested in Oklahoma
Cedrick Ricks arrested near Wynnewood, troopers say
A Texas man accused of killing two people, including an 8-year-old boy, was arrested late Wednesday night in southern Oklahoma, authorities said. According to the Oklahoma Highway Patrol, Cedrick Ricks was arrested by troopers at about 11:15 p.m. about 70 miles north of the Texas-Oklahoma border near the town of Wynnewood.
Police in Bedford, Texas, said Ricks is suspected in the stabbing deaths of a 30-year-old woman and her 8-year-old son at an apartment. A 12-year-old boy was taken to a local hospital with stab wounds and an 8-month-old infant was found at the scene with no apparent injuries.
According to WFAA in Dallas, Ricks is the deceased woman's estranged boyfriend. They have one child together, the infant who wasn't injured. The eight and 12-year-old boys are the woman's children from a previous relationship. Investigators said Ricks stole the victim's car before heading north.
Officials said Ricks will be arraigned, then extradited back to Texas. He is facing two counts of murder, and one count of attempted murder. His bond has been set at $4.5 million.

Derrick DeKerckhove to Discuss the Role of Electricity in Contemporary Life on March 31
Derrick DeKerckhove, holder of the Papamarkou Chair in Education and Technology at the John W. Kluge Center at the Library of Congress, presents "I Sing the Body Electric," at 4 p.m. on Thursday, March 31, in Room 119 of the Library's Thomas Jefferson Building, 10 First St. S.E., Washington, D.C.
DeKerckhove believes that because electricity is everywhere, both inside and outside the human body, it has become the ground and the support system of the global culture. Since its earliest applications, electricity has gone through three main phases: analog (light, heat, energy), digital (data, information, knowledge) and now wireless ("always on," ubiquitous, mind-like).
DeKerckhove contends that the next phase, now being explored with quantum computing and other technologies, may actually result in "real wisdom." Each phase is characterized by a specific set of biases, exclusive to electricity, that have profound but unconscious impacts on culture, and DeKerckhove will discuss these in his presentation.

Obama returns to NH Saturday
Romney visiting NH next week
President Barack Obama will return to New Hampshire for his second campaign rally in two weeks, as the Granite State continues to be hotly contested as a swing state in the presidential contest.
All that is known about the event now is that Obama will travel to Nashua, which historically has been the largest swing area in the state.
Obama was just in the state last Thursday for an outdoor rally in Manchester that drew 6,000 people.
Republican campaign officials confirmed that Mitt Romney will be in the Granite State next week. No other details of the visit were released. Romney's last visit to the state was on Sept. 7 in Nashua.
This will be Obama's sixth visit to the state this year.

We opted for the April 11 as we were trying to coordinate the kids schedules and this is when everyone was off. That said, we were expecting many children on board and there were.
We arrived at the pier around 1:00 and after checking in were on board in less than 10 minutes. Smooth and efficient. Rooms were ready by 1:30. Cabins were always clean & cabin stewards were friendly & efficient.
My Sister and husband renewed their vows and the affair was very nice. If I could change one thing it would be the location. It was in a very dark bar. Here we are on a beautiful ship on the ocean and we were in a dark, dark lounge. Anyway it was lovely none the less.
For those of you travelling with kids, the Lido Cabanas are great. It was our central meeting place for the week and it worked out wonderfully. Speaking of cabanas, we had also rented the pink and the eggshell cabanas on HMC. The are centrally located, not far from food pavilion and near restrooms which was convenient. Half Moon Cay is always one of our favorite stops.
Only one minor complaint was service in dining room was verrrry slow. I'm sure the wait staff is working as hard as they can, but we were one of last tables to leave each night. We never made the 10:00 shows on time. Other than that everything on this cruise was wonderful. Only thing that could have made it better was another week.

For Strippers Near Ground Zero, It's Business as Usual Amid Mosque Uproar
After the World Trade Center towers fell, a stripper named Chris went to volunteer in the recovery effort for the Red Cross. Nearly 10 years later, she dances just down the street from Ground Zero at the Pussycat Lounge.
Thousands of workers spend their days toiling in the neighborhood around the World Trade Center site, a space that has gained renewed national attention amid controversial plans to build an Islamic center there.
The project, known as Park51, is opposed by a majority of New York residents in recent opinion polls. Politicians both local and national argue that the plan is insensitive to families touched by the Sept. 11, 2001 terrorist attacks. Former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin, among others, has referred to the area around Ground Zero as "hallowed ground."
But for Chris, who declined to give her last name, and other dancers at the two strip clubs within three blocks of the World Trade Center site, the neighborhood is just where they go to work.
As supporters held signs extolling religious freedom at the site of the proposed Islamic center Wednesday, a stripper who gave her name as Cassandra was working the afternoon shift at New York Dolls on Murray Street — just around the corner. She worried that calls to prayer from the mosque at Park51 might wake up neighbors. But when she was told that the organizers aren't planning loudspeakers, she said she didn't have a problem with the project.
"I don't know what the big deal is," Cassandra said. "It's freedom of religion, you know?"
Down on Church Street, one block east of the proposed Islamic center and two blocks from Ground Zero, men placed bets on horse racing at an Off-Track Betting facility. One bettor said he could see why the families of victims might get upset about the mosque and community center, but scoffed at the notion that the area around the betting parlor was hallowed ground.
"The bums used to sit right in front of it," he said of the Park51 location, which would replace a former Burlington Coat Factory store damaged in the terrorist attack.
Not everyone engaged in weekday activities in the neighborhood agrees. Workers near the World Trade Center — including those working in the site — have expressed opposition to the proposed Islamic center. Some of the construction workers have even taken to wearing stickers and signs that demonstrate their opposition to the project, as the news website DNAinfo reported.
But if Ground Zero has been made sacred by tragedy, it's hard to say the same for the Pussycat Lounge one block south of the site. The front entrance of the strip club and bar, which has been there for more than four decades, offers a clear view of the ongoing construction at the World Trade Center site. There weren't many customers on Wednesday afternoon, when a television reporter stood in the middle of the street filming a report on the Park51 controversy.
Inside, a bartender who said her name was Dasha offered brief remarks against the proposed Islamic center. She said she's uneasy about organized religion in general.
But Chris, the stripper who volunteered in the Ground Zero recovery, sat on a barstool in a tiny, shiny red dress and defended Park51. "They're not building a mosque in the World Trade Center," she pointed out. "It's all good. You have your synagogues and your churches. And you have a mosque."
Chris said she lost eight friends on Sept. 11, 2001 — firefighters from the Brooklyn firehouse next to her home at the time. "The people who did it are not going to the mosque," she said.

In their recently published study, Araujo et al1 come to the conclusion that in men, endogenous sex steroid levels appear to have relatively weak albeit significant associations with mortality. Nevertheless, even this weak connection should be regarded with caution because several confounding factors, which may further limit the significance of the finding, were not included in their analysis.
First, only sex steroid measurements were given, although it is more appropriate to measure testosterone and interpret findings in conjunction with measurements of plasma-luteinizing hormone.2 Moreover, although the circadian variation of testosterone is markedly dampened with advancing age,2 no adjustment was made for previous nighttime sleep quantity, which seems to be associated with a substantial part of the variability in the morning testosterone levels of older men.3 Second, the presence or absence of depressive symptoms, as a covariate, apparently was not included in the analysis by Araujo et al,1 although relevant data are available from the Massachusetts Male Aging Study.4 In their sample of men aged 40 to 70 years, a considerable prevalence of depression might be expected, which is a condition very often accompanied by complaints of poor health and probably linked with testosterone deficiency5 and increased mortality rates. Third, several medical conditions, besides cardiovascular disease, diabetes mellitus, and dyslipidemia, as well as medications known to affect testosterone plasma levels2 were not presented in their analysis. Last but not least, the severity of alcohol consumption, which is usually associated with low testosterone level and changes in the levels of other reproductive hormones,6 was not adequately gauged.
