Argentina's Jewish leadership has reacted angrily to Tehran's renewed denial of any involvement in the 1994 bombing of the Argentine Jewish Mutual Association (Amia) building in Buenos Aires.
When Benjamin Netanyahu stood up at the United Nations General Assembly last September with a cartoonish drawing of a bomb designed to show how close Iran was getting nuclear weapons, close observers of Israel's posture wondered why suddenly Israel had extended the deadline for action against Iran's nuclear programme.
The chair of the Iranian parliament's defence committee claimed today that the drone that was spotted over the Israeli sky earlier this month collected important data about military bases. Israeli officials refused to comment since the investigation is still under way.
The government has reportedly told the United States that it will not allow American troops to use the British military in a decision that could have an impact on a potential pre-emptive strike against Iran.
It had previously been believed that Diego Garcia, the British-governed island in the Indian Ocean, could be drawn into an Israel-Iran conflict.
President Shimon Peres told Baroness Catherine Ashton, EU High Representative for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy, on Wednesday: "To stop the bloodshed here and to stop the danger in Iran are the two main calls of our time, for the sake of their people and of ours."
French Foreign Minister Laurent Fabius has told Europe-1 Radio that unspecified experts have "established in an absolutely indisputable way" that Iran will be able to produce a nuclear weapon by early 2013.
Henrique Capriles, the defeated candidate in last week's Venezuelan presidential elections, has insisted he will continue his fight against socialist firebrand Hugo Chavez.
Mr Capriles, the grandson of Jewish immigrants, will run for governor of Miranda, one of the South American country's most important states, in December.
Prime Minister David Cameron pledged on Monday that "nothing — and I mean nothing — is off the table if Iran makes the wrong choice."
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was sceptical on Tuesday about the efficiency of the latest round of European Union sanctions in reining back Iran's nuclear programme.
The sanctions, agreed upon on Monday by the EU foreign ministers at the insistence of Britain, Germany and France, are aimed at strengthening previous curtailments on Iran's energy and financial sectors.
Prime Minister David Cameron pledged on Monday that "nothing - and I mean nothing - is off the table if Iran makes the wrong choice."

- Green tea is rich in polyphenolic compounds, commonly known as catechins.
- These include epicatechin, epicatechin-3-gallate, epigallocatechin, and epigallocatechin- 3-gallate (EGCG). Catechins are In vitro and In vivo strong antioxidants. This antioxidant property is primarily responsible for the health benefits of green tea.
Many epidemiological studies have shown that regular flavonoid intake is associated with a reduced risk of cardiovascular diseases. In coronary heart disease, the protective effects of flavonoids include mainly antithrombotic, anti-ischemic, anti-oxidant, and vasorelaxant. It is suggested that flavonoids decrease the risk of coronary heart disease by three major actions: improving coronary vasodilatation, decreasing the ability of platelets in the blood to clot, and preventing low-density lipoproteins (LDLs) from oxidizing. The anti-inflammatory properties of the Citrus flavonoids have also been studied. Several key studies have shown that the anti-inflammatory properties of Citrus flavonoids are due to its inhibition of the synthesis and biological activities of different pro-inflammatory mediators, mainly the arachidonic acid derivatives, prostaglandins E2, F2, and thromboxane A2. The anti-oxidant and anti-inflammatory properties of Citrus flavonoids can play a key role in their activity against several degenerative diseases and particularly brain diseases.

Tramadol is a central analgesic with a low affinity for opioid receptors. It also has noradrenergic and serotonergic properties that may contribute to its analgesic activity. Tramadol is a selective agonist of mu receptors and preferentially inhibits serotonin reuptake, whereas (-)-Tramadol mainly inhibits noradrenaline reuptake. The action of these 2 enantiomers is both complementary and synergistic and results in the analgesic effect of (+/-)-tramadol. Tramadol is a central acting analgesic which has been shown to be effective and well tolerated, and is of value in treating several pain conditions (step II of the World Health Organization ladder) where treatment with strong opioids is not required. Tramadol is used for moderate to severe pain.
Paracetamol is a p-aminophenol derivative that exhibits analgesic and antipyretic activities. It does not possess anti-inflammatory activity. Paracetamol is thought to produce analgesia through a central inhibition of prostaglandin synthesis.

1. Field of Invention
The invention discloses novel fatty carboxylic acid salts of organofunctional silicone useful in the preparation of a variety of personal care formulations. The products are the fatty carboxylic acid salts of silicone polymers which contain amino pendant functionality. Compounds of the invention deposit on the surface of various substrates, like hair and skin. Thereby altering the surface properties. The properties which can be given to substrates include; softness, lubrication and hydrophobicity. The compounds of the present invention function as humectants and protective barriers on the skin. Additionally, they impart a high level of sheen and softness to the skin. The compounds of the present invention can also be used as partial or total substitute for petrolatum. Another surprising aspect of the compounds of the present invention is their lack of irritation and toxicity when applied to eyes and skin. They are alos non comedogenic.
The compounds of the present invention are prepared by the complete neutralization of a silicone amine with a fatty carboxylic acid. The compounds of the present invention, in stark contrast to fatty amine derivatives, show no irritation to skin and no oral toxicity when tested at 5.0 gms/kg body weight.
2. Description of the Arts and Practices
Silicone compounds have been known to be active at the surface of hair and skin. Silicone oils make good lubricants and are very stable to oxidation, however, their high cost and lack of efficiency at low concentrations as well as low durability have made their acceptance in commercial products quite low. In all instances, commercially available quats are the active ingredient in traditional laundry care markets, with little or no silicone added.
The low efficiency and low durability of dimethylpolysiloxane is due to the fact that it is very water insoluble and deposits on the surface to obtain a minimum free energy in the solution. Simply, the silicone oil delivery is to the surface by hydrophobic binding, not chemical bonding. At the surface, the dimethylpolysiloxane is a very effective lubricant, however, there are two drawbacks, first; the dimethylpolysiloxane is not chemically bonded so the effect is very transient and disappears with one washing, and second; since there is no reaction of the dimethylpolysiloxane to the surface an equilibrium between fiber absorbed dimethylpolysiloxane and dimethylpolysiloxane in the dispersion results in very inefficient percentage of silicone deposited. A large amount of the expensive silicone goes down the drain with the waste water.
One major area in which the compounds of the present invention find applications is in so called two in one shampoos. That is shampoo compositions which also condition and soften. Soiled human hair is shampooed to remove sebum that is naturally secreted by the head, as well as soil and other atmospheric contaminants that accumulate on the hair. Sebum accumulates on the hair in a short time, leaving the hair with a greasy, dirty feel and poor manageability. The most effective shampoos for cleansing the hair and for the removal of the atmospheric contaminants and sebum, are those that contain high lather anionic detergents, such as the long chain alkyl sulfates or ethoxylated long chain alkyl sulfates. These anionic detergents are very effective for cleansing the hair but after rinsing with water, leave a the hair in a condition often called "creak". In this condition the hair is likley to become extremely tangled, unmanageable and cosmetically unappealing.
Thoroughly cleansed hair, which is stripped of natural oils, is extremely difficult to comb in either the wet or dry state because the individual hair fibers tend to snarl, kink, and interlock with each other. Particularly prior to complete drying of thoroughly cleansed hair, the hair is very difficult to comb, brush or manage. This is refferred to as poor wet combability. Even after complete drying, the thoroughly cleansed hair remains difficult to comb or brush and does not set well. Additionally, thoroughly clean, dried hair also has undesirable electrostatic properties in a low humidity atmosphere that causes the hair to "fly away", thereby further reducing the combing or brushing property of the hair.
After shampoo hair conditioning compositions have been used for many years. One of the problems with such a conditioner is that they commonly contain large quantities of fatty quaternaries which are irritating to the eyes, build up on the hair and cause other problems with altering the feel and appearance of the hair. Some fatty quaternary compounds are known to be toxic to aquatic organisms. In addition this approach entails an additional step which is time consuming.
An approach toward eliminating the time consuming problem with after shampooing conditioners has been the preparation of a conditioning shampoo. While several products have been on the market, there has been some major difficults encountered. One major problem has been incompatibility of the shampoo composition due in large part to incompatability between anionic surfactants and the fatty cationic compounds which are the conditioning agents commonly used. Contact between an anionic surfactant and a cationic surfactant produces a precipitate that forms immediately and significantly reduces the cleaning and conditioning properties. Another problem has been the reduction in cleansing and conditioning effectiveness. This can occur even when the incompatability problems have been overcome by modification of the formulation. This incompatibility between an anionic surfactant and a cationic conditioning compound is well recognized by those skilled in the art. For example, Sagarin in Cosmetics, Interscience Publishers, Inc., New York, p. 538 (1957), states that anionic and cationic compounds cannot be used in combination because they react to form insoluble salts. As will be shown, the present compositions make use of a complex which not only is soluble, but is conditioning and emulsifying for insoluble silicone. One of the reasons for this being a surprising discovery is that the above mentioned literature references teach away from the present invention. Other novel aspects of the present compositions and processes for their use will become clear by reading the rest of the disclosure.
Another attempt to overcome the incompatibility problem in the formulation of conditioning products is exemplified by the following patents that disclose compositions containing surfactants that are not anionic, specifically nonionics, amphoterics and zwitterionics surfactants can be formulated into a conditioning composition. Examples of this type of product is shown in the following patents; U.S. Pat. No. 3,849,348 to Hewitt; U.S. Pat. No. 3,990,991 to Gerstein; and U.S. Pat. No. 3,822,312 to Sato. Compositions based upon these alternate surfactant types do not have the detergent properties needed for successful shampoos and have enjoyed minimal commercial success.
Another attempt to overcome the instability problem encountered using cationic and anionic surfactants has been to replace the fatty quaternary compound in the composition with a non-fatty water insoluble conditioning agent such as the nonvolatile silicones. This approach has become well recognized in the art as providing a degree of softness to the hair. The formulation of the so called two in one shampoo (also known as shampoo plus conditioner) has been attempted in recent years. Many of these compositions contain highly insoluble silicones and consequently require elaborate formulation additives to thicken and otherwise hold the compositions together. The result is inferior preformance, due in part to lack of homogenity of the compositions. It is not uncommon to see the insoluble silicone floating on the top of a bottle of two in one shampoo. These formulation additives which increase stability, also have a negative effect upon performance of the composition.
Many attempts have bene made over the years to product a truly stable conditioner compostion having a dispersed, insoluble, nonvolatile silicone material suspended therein, while retaining the cleansing and conditioning performance of the conditioning shampoo. This stability problem is particularly prevalent in conditioning products containing an anionic surfactant and a cationic conditioning material which, as outlined above, by themselves tend to interact and present stability problems. A variety of materials have been proposed for inclusion in silicone containing conditioners for purposed of thickening and stabilization, such as xanthan gum, long chain acyl derivatives, long chain amide oxides, and long chain alkanolamides as disclosed in U.S. Pat. Nos. 4,788,006; 4,704,272; and 4,741,855. The effect of incorporating thickening agents and other stabilizers is a greasy unappealing feeling on the hair and a greasy build up on repeated use.
Silicones added to shampoo compositions have been known for many years. Several examples are the following U.S. patents: U.S. Pat. No. 2,826,551 issued Mar. 11, 1958 to Green; U.S. Pat. No. 3,964,500 issued Jun. 22, 1976 to Drakoff; U.S. Pat. No. 4,364,837 issued Dec. 21, 1982 to Pader; British Pat. No. 849,433, issued Sep. 28, 1960 to Woolston; U.S. Pat. No. 4,741,855, to Grote, et al.; U.S. Pat. Nos. 4,788,006 and 4,902,499 to Bolich, Jr. et al. and U.S. Pat. No. 4,704,272 to Oh, et al. The diversity of approach used by the various inventors and the extended time frame over which work has been attempted, demonstrates a long felt, and unfulfilled need for a truly functional conditioning product.
U.S. Pat. No. 5,034,218 issued July 1991 to Duvel teaches that conditioning shampoo compositions can be prepared using non volatile silicone compounds and a variety of surfactants, fatty quaternary compounds, fatty alcohols, and polymeric suspending agents. The need for all these components to make a stable or metastable composition is common in the preparation of conditioning products. This type of formulation is appreciably different from the compositions of the present invention in that the present compositions are conditioners which are anhydrous systems rather than aqueous emulsions or thickened dispersions additionally, the present compositions do not contain many of the fatty materials which aside from building up on hair are known to be irritating to eye and skin.
One approach to overcome the undesirable effects of either post treatment with an insoluble fatty quaternary or fatty alcohol containing conditioners, or the incorporation of silicone into a thick stabilized shampoo is to pre-treat the hair with a water soluble quaternary. U.S. Pat. No. 4,061,150 issued Dec. 6, 1977 to Dasher et al, teaches that dilute aqueous water soluble fatty quaternary compounds can be used to precondition hair before shampooing. This technology, while representing a significant advance over the art practiced before it, did not provide the advantages of silicone products offered by the present invention.
One major problem which is encountered formulating with silicone compounds is the selection of solvents in which the silicone oil is placed. Silicone oils are insoluble in mineral oil, water, most protic solvents and many other solvents. Most are soluble in mineral spirits which is volatile and limits the ability to formulate personal care products. Many attempts have been made to formulate silicone products which are useful in a variety of solvents.
Many attempts have been made to overcome these problems and get a truly substantive product, which deposits efficiently. One approach has been to use hydrosilation technology to make alkoxylated silicone polymers, used as raw materials in this invention. These materials do not have the substantivity desired to make them suitable for use as antistats, softeners and or soil release agents. Hydrosilation technology is known to those skilled in the art and is outlined in U.S. Pat. No. 4,083,856. These materials, prepared by the hydrosilation of a vinyl alkoxylated alcohol and a silanic hydrogen containing polymer, by virtue of their alkoxylation, exhibit a high cloud point classically seen in nonionics, which is a point were at some elevated temperature, the silicone polymer comes out of solution and becomes more substantive to the hydrophobic substrate. This approach allows for better efficiencies but does little if anything for long term substantivity.
U.S. Pat. No. 3,511,699 to Sterman issued May 12, 1970 teaches that epoxy compounds placed in the silicone backbone by hydrosilation can be cured onto certain fibers to give improved substantivity. The substantivity is based upon the reaction of hydroxyl groups on the cellulosic and the epoxy group in the silicone polymer. The resulting bond is an ether linkage and a new hydroxyl group. While a definite improvement over earlier compounds the efficiency and durability of these compounds are not enough to allow for cost effective incorporation of these materials in detergent formulations.
U.S. Pat. No. 4,960,845 to O'Lenick issued October 1990 discloses sulfated silicone polymers which are high foaming surfactants.
U.S. Pat. No. 4,973,643 to O'Lenick issued November 1990 discloses ether amine compounds useful as raw materials in the preparation of the compounds of the present invention.
U.S. Pat. No. 3,801,572 to Berger issued April 1974 discloses amino silicones suitable as raw materials in the present invention.
U.S. Pat. No. 4,785,067 to Brumbill issued in 1988, discloses a partially neutralized, partially free amine, carboxylic acid salt for use as a protective coating and rust preventative.
It is the object of the present invention to provide a process utilizing a series of novel fatty carboxylic salts for treating hair and skin which comprises contacting the hair or skin with an effective conditioning amount of the novel compounds. The object of the treatment is to provide a nonirritating, non toxic, conditioning and softening to the substrate.
The properties of the compounds of the present invention make them useful in creams and lotions, mascaras, lipsticks and lip products, hair conditioners, hair styling products, eyeliners, shampoos and mousses.
The present invention relates to a process for treating hair and skin with an effective conditioning amount of a novel fatty carboxylic acid salt of an amino silicone polymer. The polymers by virtue of the fact that they are fatty carboxylic salts deposit on substrate surfaces and form effective surface modifying finishes. The compounds of the present invention are substantive to not only to hair and skin but also to cellulosics, synthetic fibers, metal surfaces and plastic polymers.
The compounds of this invention conform to the following formula; ##STR1## a is an integer from 1 to 200; b is an integer from 1 to 50;
R1 is selected from --CH3 or phenyl;
R2 is selected from; ##STR2## x, y and z are integers ranging independently from 0 to 20, with the proviso that x+y+z is greater than 0;
v is an integer ranging from 0 to 5;
m is an integer from 1 to 10.
R3 is the anion of a fatty carboxylic acid and conforms to the following structure;
.sup.⊖ O--C(O)--R4
R4 is alkyl having from 5 to 45 carbon atoms or mixtures thereof;
Q is an integer needed for charge balance and is equal to the number of nitrogen atoms present in the R2 group.
The products of the present invention are prepared by neutralization of a the above specified silicone amines with a least an equivalent of a fatty carboxylic acid. This means that for each nitrogen atom present in the silicone pendant group there will be present at least one carboxylic acid anion. If less than a full equivalent of fatty acid is used in the preparation of the compounds of the present invention, the low level of irritation will not be acheived.
The salts of the primary amines have the amino group present at the terminal part of the pendant group and conform to the following structure; ##STR3##
In the case were there is a diamine there will be a need for two equivalents of carboxylic acid to neutralize the amines. ##STR4##
It is clear therefore that the value of Q will equal the number of amine groups present in the silicone compound.
In a preferred embodiment the number of carbon atoms in the fatty carboxylic acid ranges from 12 to 22. This results in a waxy paste which liquefies under pressure, and is excellent as a hair and skin conditioner and softener.
In another preferred embodiment the amines used for the neutralization are ether amines disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 4,973,643 to O'Lenick. These amines are items of commerce marketed under the Silube trade name and available from Siltech Inc. Norcross Ga.
In another embodiment the molar ratio of amine to acid is between 1.0:1 to 1.5:1.0. The excess of acid results in a pH of about 5, which is close to the pH of skin and therefore is the desired pH for skin care products.
In still another preferred embodiment the compounds of the present invention are applied in an effective conditioning concentration to hair or skin. The compounds can be applied either in a shampoo or in a conditioning product. The effective conditioning concentration ranges from 0.001 to 25%, but the preferable concentration ranges from 0.1 to 5%.
Fatty acids which are suitable for the preparation of compounds of the present invention include the following fatty acids and mixtures thereof. The compounds conform to the following structure;

The compounds of the present invention are prepared by the neutralization of the silicone amine by an equivalent amount of the fatty acid specified. The amine and fatty acid are added together and heated generally to between 100� and 140� C. until a clear homogeneous liquid is obtained. The reaction mass is then cooled to provide the desired product which is used without subsequent purification.
To a suitable mixing vessel with agitation and nitrogen sparge is added 282.0 grams of Behenic acid, and 3,566.0 grams of Silicone amine Example 1. The reaction mass is heated to 120� C. under agitation with a small amount of nitrogen being bubbled through the reaction mixture. The reaction mass clears and is allowed to cool.

Els, Ford among Hall of Fame inductees
How's this for a week: Tour Championship winner ($1.35 million), FedEx Cup winner ($10 million), PGA Tour player of the year and election into the the World Golf Hall of Fame?
Ernie Els already has checked off election into the Hall of Fame; the newest inductees were announced Wednesday. Starting Thursday, he has a chance to sweep the other awards and paychecks at East Lake Golf Club in Atlanta, site of the Tour Championship presented by Coca-Cola.
The others who were voted into the Hall of Fame and will be inducted May 9, 2011, are Doug Ford, the late Jock Hutchison and former President George H.W. Bush. A fifth and final inductee will be announced in October.
Els was elected with 66% of the vote on the PGA Tour ballot. Ford and Hutchison were selected in the Veterans Category and Bush in the Lifetime Achievement Category.
Els, of South Africa, won the 1994 and '97 U.S. Open titles and the 2002 British Open. He has 15 additional PGA Tour victories including two World Golf Championships events and more than 40 international victories.
"I was shocked and extremely honored when the call came through from Commissioner Finchem to say that I was to be inducted into the Hall of Fame," Els said in a statement. "I would like to thank all those who have made this possible, not least my family whose support has never wavered."
Ford, of West Haven, Conn., won 19 PGA Tour titles including the 1955 PGA Championship and the 1957 Masters. He was named PGA player of the year in 1955 and played on four U.S. Ryder Cup teams.
Hutchison, born in St. Andrews, Scotland, won 14 PGA Tour titles including the 1920 PGA, 1921 British Open and 1920 and '23 Western Opens (in those days, the Western Open was considered a major). He also won the inaugural Senior PGA Championship in 1937 and again in 1947. Hutchison was the first honorary starter at the Masters (along with Fred McLeod) from 1963-'73.
Bush was elected for helping to raise the profile of the sport of golf during and after his presidential administration. He received the 1997 PGA of America Distinguished Service Award, the 2008 Bob Jones Award from the U.S. Golf Association and the 2009 PGA Tour Lifetime Achievement Award. In 1996, Bush served as honorary chairman of The Presidents Cup and has since attended every Presidents Cup. He is an honorary member of the PGA, honorary chair of the USGA Museum and Archives President's Council and has served as honorary chair of The First Tee since 1997.
Here are the results of voting from the PGA Tour ballot (with percentage of vote):
Els, 66%; Ford, 50%; Fred Couples, 32%; Mark O'Meara, 29%; Davis Love III, 27%; Macdonald Smith, 23%; Ken Venturi, 20%; Fuzzy Zoeller, 18%; Tony Lema, 14%; Dave Stockton, 12%; Don January, 10%; Miller Barber, 9%; Harold "Jug" McSpaden, 7%; Kenny Perry, 2%; Jay Haas, 2%.

Philadelphia taxicab companies may deserve refunds on regulatory fees tossed out by Commonwealth Court last year, but they will have to take it up with state authorities to get them, a federal judge has ruled.
U.S. District Judge Stuart Dalzell cited the state ruling that the Philadelphia Parking Authority's budgeting process and a fee structure imposed in 2004 was unconstitutional.
But, he added in an opinion released last week, he had no authority to order the PPA to pay back the money it had collected, saying such a ruling was a matter for the state courts.

Recovering Capitalist re-connecting with his Artist Soul:
I am no longer here. People see me and hug me and and converse with me, but it is clear to me that I am no longer here.
I am already on the road. The wind is in my face, my clothes are dusty, and I am in need of a bath and a place to sleep. I am happy.
Financial reports that used to be my daily reading fill my InBox and are deleted with nary a second thought. Instead, I devour tales from the road of spiritual journeys and adventure.
Responsibilities and commitments that I have made are in danger of falling to the wayside, and it gets more difficult with each passing day to focus on those tasks. Let me wander in nature instead!
My life looks so much different today than it did two years ago. Looking back at my writings, I realize that I began to explore creation vs consumption, contribution vs accumulation years ago, as I was building towards the elusive first million… now that I have let go and have nothing, I get to immerse myself in that exploration.
A butterfly fluttered its way into the shop I was watching yesterday, and I watched in simple amazement as he browsed all the antique furniture and buddha statues that fill the showroom.
Money no longer interests me. Life interests me. What is right in front of me, at any given moment, has become fascinating.

Summertime Research: Hints and tips
Long summer days are the perfect time for family gatherings and a great opportunity to ask questions of relatives to discover more about your family heritage.
Here are some hints and tips for furthering your family history research this summer:
1. Visit close family members. Encourage the younger generation to record relatives' stories and anecdotes to learn about earlier generations and preserve those memories for future generations.
2. Plan a vacation to meet distant family members. Come prepared with questions about their branch of the family and use the MyHeritage Mobile App to fill in gaps in your family tree and to add photos while you're on-the-go.
3. Take a family trip to ancestral towns. Visit important places from your ancestors' stories, such as where they lived, where they went to school and more.
4. Visit historical museums. Learn about the historic period your ancestors lived in to provide perspective into their lives, and raise questions that you never thought of asking.
5. Sort through old family photos. Label and organize your photos with as much information as you have. Scanning and uploading them to your MyHeritage family site will keep them safe for generations to come.
6. Set yourself summertime goals and challenges. It may be one specific individual in your tree that you'd like to make progress on, or perhaps just reaching out to a lost branch of the family.
7. Summer is a perfect time for family reunions. Try to arrange one before school starts so the whole family can be involved. To plan the perfect family reunion, check out this blog post.
Do you have more tips? How do you plan to learn more about your family history this summer? Share your tips and ideas in the comments below.
Search for your ancestors:
- I am pleased to learn of the inroads that My Heritage is making in the fields of Genealogy and Family Photos and photo recognition. Keep up your good works!
- I visited a town and state where I meet cousins that I haven't seen in 50 years!! We have been keeping in touch and will visit with each other this fall. It was great!!!
- it iss fun wonderful to find long lost cousins ect..
- My cousins and our family were very close as I was growing up. Now that I am 80 yrs, I am so grateful for what little knowledge that I have, but wish I had so much more for our family history. Many years ago my father's parents lived in Mississippi and were taught and accepted the Mormon religion, but when they left there and moved to Texas, they became Baptist. I guess I will never know what happened. It seems that history does indeed repeat itself.
- one of the better sites.
- Genealogy is a very interesting hobby.
- I would like to know something about the William(father) and James McCoy(son) families from Chillicothe, Ohio.
- I am busy wirh my Mom and Dad's Family Tree and was told about this site. Cannot wait to start it. O dear, if only I had more hours per day to work at it. Found so many many members of the family I did'nt even exist. What a site this is, WONDERFUL.
- I would like to do the DNA testing this year. I'm at a lost for finding information regarding my great grand father. There just isn't enough information on him. He died in Mississippi, but he must have used a different name other than the one that I am told is his. Fagus Hunter.
- I am leaving this week to visit the home of my ancestors in Devon, England. Looking forward to walking where they walked!
- I wanted to see where my great grandfather was born on visiting his village I went to the only pub for refreshment and to ask where his house was located, the landlady introduced me to a local historian who was absolutely brilliant, he gave me lots of info on my great grandfathers whole family and the location where his parents were buried enabling me to take pictures I am for ever grateful and so glad I made the trip,

Just Love It!
I love, love, love sparkle & this does NOT disappoint! It is a real sparkler, it literally flames on your finger. It looks waaay more expensive than I paid for it on sale. I think this is my most favorite piece that I've bought from Ross-Simons -- ever! And I've bought quite a few items from them as jewelry is one of my passions. I struck "gold" here!
Elle, North Fort Myers, Florida

One era ended and another began this year for the Estée Lauder Cos., one of the most venerable American beauty firms.
The company's matriarch — and beauty's grandest dame — Estée Lauder, died April 24 at her Manhattan home, at the age of 95 — or 97, depending upon whom one believes. A few months later, in July, her grandson William Lauder — son of chairman Leonard Lauder and senior corporate vice president Evelyn Lauder — took over as chief executive of the company.
Estée Lauder was, without a doubt, one of the most influential women ever to be a part of the beauty industry. She either invented, developed or established many of the commonly used sales and marketing techniques that serve as today's mainstay of department store beauty marketing and merchandising — including the ubiquitous gift-with-purchase concept, which ironically was originally developed because her fledgling business didn't have an advertising budget. (Today, that budget is among the prestige beauty industry's largest.)
And in a time where glass ceilings were firmly in place for women in business, Estée Lauder went from personally selling a few products to beauty salons in the New York area to founding with husband Joseph in 1946 what would become an international beauty powerhouse, boasting 21 brands and a net sales volume in fiscal 2004 of $5.79 billion. She did so with style, grace and an unshakable faith in herself, her products and her company. Today, the business continues to be a family affair: Both of Lauder's sons — Leonard, born in 1933, and Ronald, born in 1944 — entered the business, as did her daughters-in-law Evelyn and Jo Carole and three of her four grandchildren.
In fact, in July — just a few months after Estée's memory was honored by more than 2,000 beauty, media and political heavyweights at a service at Lincoln Center — her grandson William ascended to become ceo. Aerin and Jane, Ronald's daughters, are senior vice president of global creative directions in the Estée Lauder division and vice president of the BeautyBank division, respectively. Gary, her fourth grandchild and son of Leonard, is managing director of Lauder Partners LLC.
Estée Lauder's passing and personnel changes have done nothing to slow the company's momentum: The stage has been set for further growth in both the domestic and global arenas. In January, Lauder's Designer Fragrances Division signed a deal with pop star Beyoncé Knowles to help market a new women's fragrance under the Tommy Hilfiger Toiletries banner. The scent, called True Star, launched in the U.S. in September and globally in October.
This story first appeared in the December 7, 2004 issue of WWD. Subscribe Today.
In February, the firm exited the mass market by selling Jane, the color cosmetics brand it had purchased in 1997, to entrepreneurs Harry Adjmi, Alex Adjmi and Lisa Yarnell. In May, it signed a deal with Sean "P. Diddy" Combs to create a prestige beauty and grooming line under Combs' apparel label, Sean John, with products expected in 2005. Over the summer, the firm began unveiling its long-awaited BeautyBank brands — American Beauty, a color and skin care line with Ashley Judd as its face; Good Skin, a dermatologist-oriented skin care line, and Flirt!, a color cosmetics line with Michelle Branch as its first guest celebrity. The three brands make up Kohl's new beauty departments, which began rolling out in the retailer's doors in October.
In September, another high-profile deal — a fragrance brand with billionaire entrepreneur Donald Trump — was revealed, with product hitting Federated doors in mid-November. In 2005, the brand will expand to other U.S. department stores and could go global at that time.
At flagship brand Estée Lauder, North American president Janet Cook retired in September after nearly three decades with the brand. In October, it was announced that John Demsey, president of MAC Cosmetics, would take over as the Estée Lauder brand's global president, reporting to Patrick Bousquet-Chavanne, one of the beauty giant's four group presidents. The move was also expected to free up Bousquet-Chavanne — who had been managing the Lauder brand globally as well — to examine worldwide expansion, including possible acquisitions, strategic partnerships, proprietary brands and retail opportunities — as well as still manage MAC Cosmetics, Aramis and the Designer Fragrances Group and the Estée Lauder brand.
In 2005, business in China, independent European pharmacies and proprietary brands are expected to be growth engines, it was noted at the company's November shareholders meeting. Product categories said to be particularly healthy are color cosmetics, skin care and hair care, while fragrance — as is true of the rest of the industry — continues to be challenging.

HSBC upgraded shares of Spreadtrum Comms (NASDAQ: SPRD) from a neutral rating to an overweight rating in a research report sent to investors on Monday morning. The firm currently has $23.00 price target on the stock, up from their previous price target of $20.00. We believe more annalist reversals are imminent.
Sentiment: Strong Buy
How many times have we seen this POS got upgraded and then down graded? It's a frigging yo yo stock and a commie stock. I've been in and out of this POS so many times. And I could double my money if I were into shorting. When this POS gets an upgrade, then it's time to look at shorting it. Don't forget China has ghost cities everywhere. Their economic boom was a big fake and I would be surprised that the numbers coming out of this company is exaggerated.
I'm back in SPRD whilst I wait for NSPH to come back to life. 40,000 at $15.48 and I feel strong about it. You can have mine for $22.48.
In light of all the substantial upgrades and positive corporate news I'm holding for $28.48.
SPRD is easily one of the best investments I've ever made. GLTA.
I've cleared on paper over one hundred large since March 6th. Follow your daughter home. Holding for $22.48, although since Spreadtrum has set up to beat next 4-6 quarters we'll likely see even higher prices. I'm not Kevin-greedy, however.
Shleung - the village idiot. "Bet on red AND black"...lol...such a brain-dead, childish philosophy. Big ole' L branded right on his forehead.
LOL. I see how little faith you have in this POS company. What's your next prediction? $29/share by Easter?
