Those who have never been to big cities before are amazed by the sheer size of Magnimar and how confusing the streets can be to a first timer. As it's such a huge city there is many taverns and many more criminal elements both supernatural and natural, but that's common knowledge.
Built around the ruins of ancient Thassilon many strange forces and occurences happen here. Some worry that some hidden monster might escape like the Shriezyx, yet this doesn't stop heroes entering the ruins to never be heard of again, or worse, returning as babbling fools.
Misfortune or destiny, whatever it is, it has brought you to the Dockway and to a tavern known as "The Old Fang" which is best known as a taproom and cheap inn built right on the docks and covered in barnacles below and with white paint peeling off the top. Run by a woman known as Ol' Mam Grottle, a burly, no-nonsense matron who keeps order. Inside the walls are covered with old nautical trophies by her late husband who hunted at sea and died by an enormous swamp barracuda. The head of the same creature is stuck to the wall, taken by Ol' Mam herself and left there as a reminder that she is not to be trifled with.
Upon entering the place appears to be busy and you all arrive at the same time, showing the symbol to Ol' Mam who escorts you into a private room in the back. The room seems quite musty and not well used. In the centre is a long wooden table with six chairs and one large chair at the head of the table with a note attached: "Reserved". You also get a cramped feeling due to the lack of windows in this place
On the table awaiting you are several plates with meat, cheese, wine, water and mead with a note set up for you to all read.
Welcome all. I apologise for my lateness, but something has come up. Please, sit down and enjoy the meal. It's on the house.
Signed, your benevolent benefactor.
P.S. Please leave my seat unoccupied, thank you.
You also see something added in another person's handwriting beneith the note
P.P.S. No spittin' 'Ol Mam worked hard to clean this room for you, so show to respect.
Here we go, your characters can introduce each other and we go on from there.

|Rabe the Huntsman
A mountain of a man walks down the streets of Magnimar Cursing his luck at ending up in a city. The city folk give him a wide birth mostly because he looked so strange to them. Wearing a full face helm, with 5 point stag antlers attached, that his eyes could barely be seen glinting through giving off a slightly green glow. A bare chest with leather and wood armor on his arms shoulders and waist, and a sword almost as tall as the people scurrying about even though it was missing a section from the tip. Yes, they found him quite strange.
Why can't city streets make sense the way forest paths do he wondered? He ended up back tracking from many a dark alley that he had though would make his trip shorter. Fingering the letter in his belt pouch he wondered, not for the first time, about this person that had contacted him so soon after he had arrived.
Finally arriving before the 'tavern' that was specified in the note he gave it a cursory glance before passing inside, having to turn his head slightly so the antlers wouldn't catch on the frame.
After being lead to the meeting room he looked about at the room and one person that had made it inside, apparently, slightly prior to him. Finally pulling off his helmet, revealing startlingly green eyes, and setting it on the back of the chair he chose to sit at. He sits down and stabs a piece of meat off one of the trays with a wicked looking dagger and takes a bite chewing it slowly before saying in a voice that sounds like boulders grinding together, "So, from the note on the table I can assume that you are not the person who saw fit to invite me here, why are you here?"
|Finder of Stones
A tall Shoanti carrying a boar spear and not much else comes into the room, eyes still wide with wonder. On his chest is a silver holy symbol of Gorum. He glances at the note with curiosity and at the other two people at the table. Greatings, I am Finder of Stones of the Shundar-Quah.
|Jaidoh Palumbra
Jaidoh watches as the tall man with the strange antler helm entered the room, followed almost immediately by another tall man. While Jaidoh was not familiar with Magnimar, she had seen few like these two and was unsure how to respond.
Suddenly realizing that the question had been directed at her by the giant of a man, Jaidoh hesitantly responds.
I too received an invitation. I do not know why.
|Finder of Stones
|Rabe the Huntsman
|Alcaydian Indros IV
Alcaydian hustles down the street to what he hopes is a new lucrative business venture. His kids helped him find all the pieces of his armor and helped strap on his greatsword. It felt awkward sheathing up but not as awkward as borrowing money.
He enters the room and looks at his colorful company.
"Is this seat taken? I'm Alcaydian... Indros, the fouth. Do you want me to talk about skills or something? I used to be pretty good and hitting things with a sword."
|Alcaydian Indros IV
"Daddy wake up! Don't look at me that way! You told me to wake you for your meeting! You said it was important."
Alcaydian slowly rose from the bed and started to get ready. It had been awhile since he done this sort of thing. His youngest helped him find all the pieces of his armor and get it strapped on.
"Do you really need this daddy? Will it protect you from the bad men?"
Alcaydian messed up her hair with his hand and she ran off to the kitchen.
He slung his greatsword into its scabbard and he headed for the door. Though a strong man with the back of a work animal, he couldn't help but notice the weight of his equipment, then again he couldn't help but notice how light his coin purse was as well.
As his feet carried him across Magnimar he went by the statue of his ancestor. As was his custom, he casually saluted it and went about his business.
Arriving at the private room at the Old Fang, Alcaydian entered and smirked a bit at the company within. Certainly not what he expected. "Hello everyone, I'm Alcaydian Indros, the fourth. You can call me Al or Indros. I trust I'm not late. I don't know how this works exactly. I haven't worked like this for awhile. Should I tell you about my skills or just swing the ole sword around as a demonstration? Anyways I hope that we can have a lucrative venture together and keep the violence to a minimum."
Alcaydian stands a little uncomfortably and rocks on his heels a bit.
|Finder of Stones
Greetings Rabe the Hunter, I am of the Spire Clan Shundar-Quah. GOrum has given me a vision and I seek information. Has Gorum brought you here as well brother?
Hail AlorIndros. I am Finder of Stones. I do not know of what work you speak. He says oblivious to the syntax of Al or Indros and pronucing it as one word.
|Jaidoh Palumbra
The petite hooded girl standing in the shadows to the side of the room listens as more and more rather rugged looking men appear. She then quietly speaks up:
I am Jaidoh. I know little of this city. All I know is that I saw a shadow of the future, and in it Magnimar was in flames. After consulting with the priests of Desna regarding the shadow of the future I saw, I have followed their advice which brought me here.
|Utrath Pallan
A lonely figure, with dirt and dust ingrained into his robe walks away from the cellar of Tweth Darn. The cellar now emptied and its contents on a wagon, his work was done. He smiled to himself as he lolloped away, his feet heavy as they embraced the ground as he moved, ungainly without finesse. The sun shines down strongly between the clouds, causing a hand of grey to shade the points of steel blue that are the man's eyes, almost as if the sun was too much for the man to bear. People walk past him, many look to the ground studiously ignoring this strange looking fellow. He almost seems relieved by this as he enters the dockside area.
Well built, he could almost be the stone door to the tavern, as he walks in and is led to a room. He enters, the dust rising from his broad shoulders before settling again as those eyes adjust to the room and look around, eyeing everyone up and down. "This where the job is?" he asks, his voice dull and deep, as though it is a matter of fate he is here, and fate in unconcerned for the man's fortune. He slowly reads the note on the chair and takes a chicken leg from the plate, eating it and returning the bones. He wipes the grease from his large hand across the lower part of his dark robe, before taking a cup and drink. As the liquid trickles down his chin, he opens his mouth once more, "Utrath, call me Utrath, we are to work together, yes?" the monotone of his voice continues.
As you look, his robe parts revealing a scimitar and hide armor protecting the granite grey looking skin of the man.
|Jaidoh Palumbra
Jaidoh watches as yet another large male walks in the room. As with those before him, this one seems more concerned with himself and the food on the table than anything else.
Still unsure of who these diverse men are, Jaidoh remains in the darkest corner of the room. When you look at her, it is hard to tell exactly where she is. You know she is there, but the exact location is hard to pinpoint.
|Ostog Oath-Breaker
As talk amongst the invited have begun an Ulfen man enters. He looks like the stories tell a tall man by Varisian standards with dark blond hair and piercing blue eyes. He is however dwarfed by the savage. He looks around a the crowd, lingering a bit at the corner then shakes his head and says in an almost singing common: "Blessings upon your families. I'm Ostog"
He then puts his shield, axe and backpack by the wall, walks over to the table. He pulls out a chair, sits down and start filling his plate with food. "It has been many nights since I last saw a feast like this. Who will raise a jug with me?"
|Jaidoh Palumbra
Jaidoh watches as yet another behemoth of a male enters the room and heads straight for the food.
Do these men not know what agents of Zon-Kuthon are capable of. A few drops of poison and they would all be done. Or perhaps agents of Cheliax, they too enjoy adding extracts of centipedes and black widows to other's food. We know nothing of the one that sent these letters, yet these men seem to think they were invited to a party.
|Finder of Stones
Looking at Jaidoh, Finder of Stones is can not hide the expression of intrigue from his face when she mentions the vision. I too have seen this vision. The eldars of my tribe believed this to be Gorum reaching out to tell me something. So far I have not understood its meaning.
Finder of Stones looks at Urath with amazement. I have heard of the living stone, you are truely blessed. Our meeting must be destined. Do you know what work we are to do together?
Greetings Ostog. I have not yet tasted this food, the people of this city have been very cunning so far and I do not trust someone who hides behind written words.
|Rabe the Huntsman
Greetings Rabe the Hunter, I am of the Spire Clan Shundar-Quah. GOrum has given me a vision and I seek information. Has Gorum brought you here as well brother?
I am Jaidoh. I know little of this city. All I know is that I saw a shadow of the future, and in it Magnimar was in flames. After consulting with the priests of Desna regarding the shadow of the future I saw, I have followed their advice which brought me here.
I look at both of them sharply when They mention visions, "I too have had a vision that brought me here, I cannot say whether Gorum was the one who gave it to me or not, only that I received it while meditating in the woods."
"Hello everyone, I'm Alcaydian Indros, the fourth. You can call me Al or Indros. I trust I'm not late. I don't know how this works exactly. I haven't worked like this for awhile. Should I tell you about my skills or just swing the ole sword around as a demonstration? Anyways I hope that we can have a lucrative venture together and keep the violence to a minimum."
"This where the job is?" "Utrath, call me Utrath, we are to work together, yes?"
"Neither do I know what this work is that you speak of, I was summoned here and told I would be given answers for the vision that I have had, and apparently a few others have shared." I say looking sideways at Jaidoh and Finder of Stones.
"It has been many nights since I last saw a feast like this. Who will raise a jug with me?"
"This is the first sensible suggestion made to me since arriving in this blasted city." I say looking at Ostog. Grabbing a Chalice of mead I raise my glass in his direction. "To discovering why fate has brought our group together." I say Quaffing the drink in a single pull.
Sorry about all the posts at once, just catching up. I usually only get the chance to post once a day. Sometimes once in the morning and once at night.
|Jaidoh Palumbra
Jaidoh's eyes open wide when she hears that both of the Shoanti too had the same vision of shadows as she. But she remains silent realizing that information is valuable. This she learned many times in Nidal as she watched friends taken away to be questioned, few were ever to be seen again, and those that she did see again, were not the same people.
|Alcaydian Indros IV
Alcaydian cocks one eye brow at the mention of visions. Being simple man he finds such comments unsettling and he shifts in his chair a bit.
He's never seen a person look quite like Jaidoh. The fact that she clings to the shadows with such ease seems unnatural to him.
"You there in the corner. Are you feeling ok? That is I don't mean to imply that you don't have attractive features. That is you are an attractive woman but you just look a bit well umm ahh off?? Maybe you should eat a little something. It'll put some color in your cheeks. "
To the big boys Alcaydian raises a glass and says, "I'm happy to see there's few folk here capable of doing some heavy lifting. I didn't get a real clear idea as to why I should come here today. Just trying to feed the fam."
|Jaidoh Palumbra
Jaidoh continues to stay in the shadows, but attempts to politely respond:
Where I am from, trust is earned. Until I know who you are and why we were summoned, I prefer to remain where I feel safe.
|Rabe the Huntsman
Coming from a simpler setting, I just grunt at Jaidoh's comment and settle back in my seat, getting comfortable, and setting more of the food around the table on the plate before me, sampling various dishes.
|Ostog Oath-Breaker
Ostog sets the jug down on the table as Finder of Stones mentions the vision. So it seams Freja might not be the reason for me being here just the guide... I'll find her anyway. He thinks.
He then turns to Utrath paying closer attention after the comment about living stone, now seeing what was meant. "Erastil quell the fire you're really stone?" He bursts out.
|Alcaydian Indros IV
Prior to Ostog's comment Alcaydian hadn't realized that Utrath is indeed made of stone. Being a city boy, Alcaydian has seen his fair share of non-humans passing themselves off as humans, for what else could it mean to do so in a city of predominantly humans. Still this being was new to him.
" Pardon my inquisitive nature, but what exactly are you? You looked human enough when I first saw you but now I can see that you're made of stone? Did the dwarves make you?"
|Utrath Pallan
Utrath eyes the one called Alcaydian, "No my skin is not granite, it can be cut and bleed the life force just as easily as yours. I am human as you are, but for my ancestry and bloodline, this is how we are, were." His voice for the first time holds emotion, a depth of sorrow only known to those who understand how far the earth can part and drop into blackness. He continues slowly, "Though until some of your surface dwellers came and encroached upon our holdings, I had not spent so much time above the ground. I once sought revenge, for those I left behind, but it seems my search is in vain. Now I need make a life until I can return home." He stops speaking and slowly contemplates what he has just said. After a moment he nods, "Dwarfs, yes they were our friends."
He looks at the fighter "And you, you too will take employment as a protector?" His gaze moves over the Ulfen, "As will you Ostog, you employ as a protector and guide? "

"I think everyone has introduced themselves sufficiently now." comes a squeeky voice from somewhere and as you search for the owner of the voice the chair of Ithir fills with a Gnome appearing from nowhere, fiddling with a ring on his finger and looking to the group. "Welcome all. Times are tough for me and my associates in the city, but once I heard some of you were looking for answers or work I felt like we could help each-other out." he leans back as he takes a good look at everyone.
"Understand, I'm not with the Sczarni and I strive to remove them from the city. My dealings are in information and the odd item or two people would like to be imported without all that red-tape." he states as he just sits there calmly, pouring himself a glass of wine from one of the bottles that was left available. "First, I'd like you all to discuss your reasons for coming here. I know perfectly well of course, but as you'll be working together you can help eachother better if a clue becomes apparent to one of you."
|Jaidoh Palumbra
Still unsure of the others, and rather surprised by the appearance of the gnome, Jaidoh pauses for a moment, and then decides that rather than awaiting the men, she would step forward and speak first.
Stepping out of the shadows and lowering her hood, you see a petite, almost frail looking, woman. However, it is her nearly colorless white skin and hair which stand out most, causing her dark eyes to shine forth.
I am Jaidoh. I am here because I had saw a shadow of this city, and in the shadow the city was in flames. I have followed the advice of priests of Desna with whom I have consulted and they advised me to come to this city, Magnimar.
And since some of you seem to be confused about those different from yourselves, I am from Nidal, the land of shadows and worshippers of Zon-Kuthon. I do not worship that monster, but I am from a long line of those who did, and, thus, am touched by the Plane of Shadows.
|Finder of Stones
I had a vision of Magnimar in flames. The statues of Magnimar are sacred to the Spire Clan, so my Eldars sent me to investigate believing Gorum is guiding me. This place is new to me, and the people here seem to trick eachother out of things instead of earning it themselves. This is strange to me. Finder of Stones says in a hurried fashion, still surprised over the appearance of the Gnome.
|Rabe the Huntsman
"I too had a vision of this city in flames, though it was while I was meditating in the forest that it came upon me. At first I did not know what city it was but its land marks are so distinct that I found out easily. After I found out what city it was I decided to travel here to find out how my fate was entwined with it." I say, looking at the others with my intense green eyes as I talk.
|Alcaydian Indros IV
|Utrath Pallan
Utrath looks at the shadow woman questionably, "There is much stone in this city, it doesn't burn. I am a protector, that is what the Derexhi family has told me. It would bring me gold enough to live, I would not let the flames destroy the stone. It cannot happen!" He stands straight, his body looks immovable challenging the description of the burning city. His voice once more fills with sadness, "I must protect and work, earning enough gold to return back to the caves of my home. Under the earth in the north, where the surface world contains many wonders Mammoth riders and creatures of great strength and fortitude, there I would tend the beauty and keep the balance of the caves. I have failed to find those that did bring evil upon us and did destroy my home for the sake of a small sculpted statue. It is my shame to redress by paying this penance of work and maybe even bring justice on those evil thieves and murderers." He looks down, and shuffles back into the corner of the room, he remorse bringing on his natural introverted self.
|DM Aron Marczylo
The gnome nods at the mentions of the visions.
"Many people in my service have described these visions. One is currently using dreamtea and she has found a few more details. Nothing concrete, but I will be looking these leads up and if you stay on I will inform you what I learn." he turns to the warior with a smile "I believe you need the money for your father and kids. You agree to stay on they will be safe and recieve a steady payment, keeping them on their feet. Not to mention the treasure you may come across."
He turns to Utrath then and gives a coy smile.
"You mean the statue made from Mithral of a giant worm-like creature bursting through the earth. Yes, people entered this town and sold it." he states off-handedly "Seems like it's gotten a lot of interest at a private auction house in the alabastor district. Give me time and help me and not only will I be able to buy the statue back for you in payment for your services, but I will have the names and locations of the men who have done this, not to mention the city guard will be able to turn their eye on the situation." his eyes then settle on Osteg "What of you? Is there a man you search for or beast? There have been many new and interesting people passing these walls, but I don't have all the information I'd desire yet."
|Jaidoh Palumbra
Jaidoh looks at the man with the stony visage:
I know not if the flames burned hot or cold. It was but a shadow of the future. What you all I think call a dream, but more than a normal dream.
|Utrath Pallan
"It is strange you have these dreams of the future and they are shared, is it a weakness of the mind?" the granite colored skin of his face impossibly frowns, like waves rippling across a cliff face. "I have not met shadow people such as you before. You seem delicate and could easily break." as he looks the female form up and down, inquisitive as to her being, seeing only weakness, but wondering what strength is there that she was invited to work alongside Utrath. She holds no staff or wand like those of the arcane, or fetish like those shaman in the Mammoth Lands. He looks on, not understanding.
|Jaidoh Palumbra
|Ostog Oath-Breaker
Ostog looks up as the gnome appears. "A gnome" he whispers with equal parts surprise and disbelieve. He chuckles while barely putting the bone down he is gnawing on: "So you're mysterious "
As Jaidoh steps out from the shadow and draws attention to herself Ostog drops the afore mentioned bone, grips his dagger from the table backing away from her pale as a ghost whispering: "Dark fey, by the wolves begone" As the others continue to behave normal, he looks on in disbelieve while cluttering a talisman. "She must have them enchanted," he thinks.
He keeps away from the table an Jaidoh while listening to the stories about the visions.
|Jaidoh Palumbra
Jaidoh looks at the large Ulfen with some confusion and concern:
I am no fey, most fey, both good and evil, fled Nidal a millennia ago. The heritage of my people is the curse of the vile Zon-Kuthon and the Plane of Shadow, just as yours is of the north and the Finder of Stones is likely that of the Shoanti peoples. She looks over at Utrath. And his is of stone and earth.
|DM Aron Marczylo
"What she says is true." the Gnome points out looking towards Ostog. "Just like the Aasimar and the Tiefling, Fetchlings like her and Oreads like Utrath are touched by the planes of other creatures. Jaidoh by the shadow plane and Utrath by earth elementals, obviously." he points out in reguards to Utrath's appearance.
"I am only being mysterious because I wanted to know I could trust you. Today that has been proven true." he relaxs and gives a sigh "I have a few issues that need seeing to. Are you all ready to hear the details? You will be doing me and the city a favour."
|Jaidoh Palumbra
|Rabe the Huntsman
"While I am hear I may as well support myself as the city folk do, I would do your work. Hopefully it will be aimed toward my strengths, but looking at who is gathered here it would seem that strong bodies are needed."
|Alcaydian Indros IV
|Finder of Stones
I will do what I must to unravel the secrets of this omen, and to preserve the sacred ruins of this city, even if the inhabitants are not worthy of such grace. Finder of Stones says with a touch of disdain. Though if you are true to your word good Gnome, than perhaps there is hope after all. He says after a moment of reflection.
|DM Aron Marczylo
"Glad to see you on board." he nods and seems to look through a notepad he takes out from his robe and a pair of glasses to get a good focus on what's written. "Ah yes, three issues have come up that I'd like you all to cut your teeth on. The first is a personal one for me. Goblins have broken into one of my warehouses and are ruining my merchandise. All you have to do is get rid of them by any means and you can keep whatever they've taken. I can't sell something that those goblins have probably used to shave themselves of chew on. Clients wouldn't be happy. Oh and you'll each be paid ten gold peices in advance and fourty more each when you've done it."
As he says this he pushes towards the group a small pouch of coins.
"The second is a little more difficult. A group called the Men of the Crimson Banner has guarding a noble's rented warehouse. Normally this wouldn't interest me, but the import and export manifests don't add up. The harbour master thinks the noble in question is exporting something that isn't his doing something else questionable. He can't go to the guard because to accuse a noble will often lead to the end of your career, especially as this isn't solid evidence. So he came to me." as he states this he looks to to the group and back to his notes. "I need a group such as yourselves to get inside, take out the guards if possible and then my agent will inform the city guard. This is so that they take the credit and none of you get hunted down for your part in it, if this cargo is what I think it is." he says the last part grimly and looks towards Jaidoh "I think I'll understand, miss, when I tell you the nation the exports are heading towards are Nidal and I don't believe they are that interested in sixty pounds of fresh fruit."
"The final one, is a drug den owned by a Sczarni group known as the Gallowed. They've recently brought in a new drug and I'm very interested in learning what it is and what damage it can cause. Just like the first, the guards won't be concerned if there are a few less Sczarni on the street." he waves the topic as he says that off-handedly. "I will give you this bit of info before you all leave. All my agents on golarion have claimed that the cities they are in have had people who were haunted by this city being in flames, myself included. I hope we can find out what it is and stop it. If need be you may be the city's only hope."
He pauses for a moment and pulls out another small pouch of coins. "Forward payment for the third job, but fifteen gold start and fifty-five for complete due to the risk with messing with those thugs. Plus I don't believe I need to tell you that you can take any valuables off the enemies for yourselves, I have no interest in that. Just the drug from the den and getting those goblins out of my warehouse."
After he gives each of you a detailed location he points to the doorway for you to make your way.
"There is also a job board around various taverns including the one out front. If you can help the citizens of the city then I'll keep on feeding you information as I recieve it." as he states this he looks back to his notes, puts them away and then announces loudly "Come!" and just as before two figures meld into view out of nothing. One is a dark-haired woman wearing black leather and weilding a two-bladed sword. She appears to have just emerged from the shadow and the other is a white-haired elven man dressed in fine robes and is just stareing into his book. The Gnome gives a smile to the group "just for protection. Some people are after my head, you know. If you wish to see me again, come to this address." he hands over a folded peice of paper. "If I find anything I will let you know, but if you have something to tell me, please come right away."
|Jaidoh Palumbra
Once the gnome has finished, Jaidoh remains in the shadows.
If it were my choice, I think the goblins are the best choice. Small and annoying, but with you men we should be able to handle them and find out how each of us responds under pressure.
She then stops waiting for others to respond.
|Alcaydian Indros IV
|Rabe the Huntsman
"Agreed, Goblins will make us aware of each others fighting styles and should be pretty easy to cut our teeth on, they have no one to run to in the city for help should one accidentally escape from us. Also the guard jobs sound like they will be around guarding for some time whereas the goblins could leave at any time, and we wouldn't want that."

"Not true, they seem to have made themselves at home there and are probably getting the items filthy or worse, eating my livestock." he shudders, not wanting to picture it.
I am willing to work, but what of the help you promised? What can you tell us about these visions. Finder of Stones says plainly.
"As I said, so far I know atleast most of Golarian has people who are reacting to these vision." he shrugs at the question "I will keep my ear to the group, but once I find out more I will tell you everything I know. Though the dreams are all centered here must mean Magnimar is the focus. Possibly something to do with the monuments. Again, when I learn more I shall tell you."
|Jaidoh Palumbra
|Finder of Stones
|DM Aron Marczylo
Are you saying that the guards are eating your livestock? Or the goblins?
He seems repelled at the sugggestion of the human guards eating their livestock."The goblins of course. I have some exotic animals in there for certain cliants. The ugly critters would eat anything." he states, looking pale at those implications.

More evidence that routine multivitamin use should be avoided
If scientific evidence guides our health decisions, we will look back at the vitamin craze of the last few decades with disbelief. Indiscriminate use is, in most cases, probably useless and potentially harmful. We are collectively throwing away billions of dollars into supplements, chasing the idea of benefits that have never materialized. Multivitamins are marketed with a veneer of science but that image is a mirage – rigorous testing doesn't support the health claims. But I don't think the routine use of vitamins will disappear anytime soon. It's a skillfully-marketed panacea that about half of us buy into.
Not all vitamin and mineral supplementation is useless. They can be used appropriately, when our decisions are informed by scientific evidence: Folic acid prevents neural tube defects in the developing fetus. Vitamin B12 can reverse anemia. Vitamin D is recommended for breastfeeding babies to prevent deficiency. Vitamin K injections in newborns prevent potentially catastrophic bleeding events. But the most common reason for taking vitamins isn't a clear need, but rather our desire to "improve overall health". It's deemed "primary prevention" – the belief that we're just filling in the gaps in our diet. Others may believe that if vitamins are good, then more vitamins must be better. And there is no debate that we need dietary vitamins to live. The case for indiscriminate supplementation, however, has never been established. We've been led to believe, through very effective marketing, that taking vitamins is beneficial to our overall health – even if our health status is reasonably good. So if supplements truly provide real benefits, then we should be able to verify this claim by studying health effects in populations of people that consume vitamins for years at a time. Those studies have been done. Different endpoints, different study populations, and different combinations of vitamins. The evidence is clear. Routine multivitamin supplementation doesn't offer any meaningful health benefits. The parrot is dead. (more…)

/ Santo Domingo Pueblo tackles drought with NRCS help
Loading Tree...
By Mark Smith
A healthy alfalfa field in the Santo Domingo Pueblo as a result of improved soil health and a new irrigation system.
Residents of the Santo Domingo Pueblo in New Mexico worked with NRCS to run an efficient underground irrigation pipeline.
Just off the Rio Grande River sits Santo Domingo Pueblo, a community in New Mexico surrounded by a sea of green -- fields of alfalfa, oats and Sudan grass and small gardens to grow fresh vegetables.
But the community is in danger of drying out. During the past few years, New Mexico has struggled through one of our nation's worst droughts. Little rain and a dwindling river have threatened many of the pueblo's fields and gardens.
"Many of the fields were in fallow because there wasn't enough water because of the shortage," said Jonathan Garcia, Water Resources Manager for the pueblo.
After partnering with USDA's Natural Resources Conservation Service and the Department of Interior's Bureau of Reclamation, pueblo residents found a way to grow more using less water, keeping their fields and gardens healthy.
The tribe received financial assistance from NRCS through USDA's StrikeForce for Rural Growth and Opportunity. The national initiative addresses high-priority funding and technical assistance needs in rural communities in 20 states, including New Mexico, with a special emphasis on historically underserved communities and producers in counties with persistent poverty.
Pueblo residents worked with NRCS to save water by improving soil health through conservation practices such as rotating crops and planting cover crops. Healthy soil retains more moisture, allowing for less water to be applied during irrigation.
They also installed an efficient underground water irrigation system to replace some of the aging earthen irrigation ditches to 50 fields that stretched across more than 200 acres.
"The pueblo is applying science to the field hand-in-hand with their traditional methods, and it's working," said Jean Foster, NRCS New Mexico soil conservation technician who worked extensively on the project.
The new watering system and conservation practices have made all the difference. Foster said the once-parched fields of the pueblo are flourishing — a notable feat even in non-drought years. And now fields that used to take two days to irrigate can be watered in just four hours.
"We're now studying another area just south of our village to consider putting in a similar irrigation system for about 300 more acres," said Garcia. "On a scale of 1 to 10, the project's success has been an 11."
Much of the work through StrikeForce focuses on encouraging efficient use of water in agricultural operations.
For example, in Arkansas, StrikeForce helped Mildred Griggs equip her seasonal high tunnel with irrigation, which keep plants growing strong with the precise amount of water. Griggs uses micro-irrigation to drop water at the base of the plants. The results of this work lead to fresh, tasty produce, Griggs said.
"It was really bragging rights," she said. "We had the best salad green mix in the region. I'm certain that we would not have had the seasonal high tunnel had it not been for StrikeForce and the meetings that were arranged from different representatives of USDA agencies through the state."
And in Arizona, the initiative helped Alfredo and Sabrina Zamora replace four outdated pivot irrigation systems with new upgraded ones on their cropland. The new pivot irrigation lines are 10 percent more efficient in use of water and electricity and should last up to 30 years saving water and money.
"It was very hard for somebody like me with very little experience and no money to go into a government office and ask for things," Alfredo Zamora, said. "We've come a long way in the last 20 years. I'd say in that I feel completely comfortable going in there now."
StrikeForce is creating conservation opportunities in rural communities and tribes across the nation. Learn more.

The Phillies bullpen has been incredibly frustrating and their stats back up how bad they have been. I'll keep this short and sweet as sometimes the most simple numbers say the most:
ERA – 4.95, 30 out of 30 in MLB
FIP – 4.39, 29 out of 30 in MLB
xFIP – 4.54, 29 out of 30 in MLB
K/9 IP – 6.81, 28 out of 30 in MLB
BB/9 IP – 4.33, 24 out of 30 in MLB
LOB% – 66.%, 29 out of 30 in MLB
IP – 72.2, 29 out of 30 in MLB
What does this mean? The Phillies bullpen is at or near the bottom of every major and minor standard and advanced stat.The Phils' pen is allowing inherited runners to score, they're walking people, and they're doing this all in the second to last amount of innings pitched in the Majors, making the Phillies bullpen an effective powder keg of explosive awfulness, ready to blow games at will.
Where do the Phillies go from here? The only immediate solution could be replace one of the faltering bullpen members with Jake Diekman. Diekman, 25, has pitched 14.1 innings and is striking out batters at an outstanding 13.8 per 9 IP against only 3 walks. But after that, the solutions aren't that simple.
Do you feel that it has reached the point where there is no where to go but up, that the Phils have had an unfortunate stretch of bad luck, or that this bullpen trend continue?

I definitely think it's a stretch of bad luck and too small of a sample size to conclude that our pen is "bad." Papellbon, Qualls, Bastardo… those guys are legit relievers.
Replace Savery/Schwimmer with Diekman… and eventually DeFratus replaces Contreras and BAM. We'll be fine.
You sir are a dreamer. Next you'll say we need Valdez back and Fontenot in the lineup. ha, ha,ha,ha
Which explains, along with the dominant starting pitching, why they are the 2nd least used pen in MLB.
…….and it appears that Amaro is doing N O T H I N G to improve this situation. Sad
Relief pitching reminds me of the old saying about some places "If you don't like the weather, just wait five minutes."
All you can do is put in place guys who you think can do the job, based on their stuff, or their record, or whatever, and give them a shot. As Manny says, a month-plus is not enough time to decide you need to make wholesale changes, or God forbid, trade something of value for a "proven" reliever. The one thing this team does have in the high minors is relievers.
Very true Schmenk. @Bart – What do you think Ruben should do? Trade for a reliever? Or sign that really good guy that no one has thought of off the street? Or bring up a guy from AAA? (no one there). Pap and Qualls are proven dudes. Schwimer should be sent down. I don't think the pen is this bad. As opposed to the offense which actually is this bad.
The Dipsy
I rarely give RA Jr. credit, but I have to say that at least he did try to improve this unit over the winter. It seemed that bullpen was one of his highest priorities, he brought in a lot of guys. So, give them another month to find the right combination of youth and vets, and I think they'll be okay. The Cardinals had one of the weakest BP's last year for most of the season. They kept tinkering, changing closers, etc., and obviously made it work.
I agree with The Dipsy that offense is where the most help is needed, you can negate a mediocre BP with better offense. And for those of you that were against the Pence trade last season, think about where they'd be right now if that hadn't happened. Beside Ruiz, who all previous stats point to be playing way over his head, Pence is providing all the slugging they have.
I agree that there is not much Ruben can do. Every body seems to be having down years, except for Ruiz. I would give it until June and if we are not playing better Start to make some trades to get better and younger for the future. Victorino, Pierre, Blanton, maybe Pence should all go for close to major league ready players. I can deal with one down year if it means more prolonged success and bringing Cole back.
I think the chances that the team is so far out that the ownership throws in the towel on the very expensive rotation of Halladay/Lee/Hamels are essentially zero.
Not to mention that 2-month rentals of Victorino, Blanton and Pence will probably not get players who are close to major league ready (and any good).
Pence still has one more arbitration year, so he'd bring the most in return. The other guys are two month rentals and won't bring back much. Hamels for two months won't even bring back as much as some people are dreaming about (just look at the recent Sabathia (2008) and Lee (2009 & 2010) deadline deals for reference). It really doesn't matter, there's little chance that RAJ moves anyone of significance.
The only players who can bring any quality players in return are Doc and Lee.
There is a legit chance that Victorino would be one of the best players on the market ………. and because his skill set is all over the place, more teams might bid on him
He can play all 3 OF positions …….bat anywhere 1, 2, 3?, 5, 6…. has lots of speed, some power… playoff experience and too much energy . .
The Phillies would have to be a good 10-games out of the Playoffs to sell everyone ……..AND.. remember that there is an extra Wild Card team this year . . . and once you make the playoffs, its anyone's game
At this rate of play, they will be 15 games out by end of June. Clean house including salaries (Doc & Lee) and resign Hamels long term from $$ gotten from Doc & lee's trade and rebuild. I got 5 more years of life left so restart the cycle.
Sorry c – never gonna happen. There will be no housecleaning.
Ownership have placed their bets with a great starting rotation. They will sign Hamels if at all possible, and spend up to the luxury tax to fill in around the staff. I think that describes at least the next 5 years, which will make for a very competitive team — including this year.
how can you write this without mentioning that they're also probably the youngest pen in the majors?
Contreous and Qualls are young??
Where would they be without Pence?
Well…he didn't bring the ring they sought. If they would have done what I supported and traded for the cheaper Carlos Beltran (who is absolutely raking), they'd have a similar player AND wouldn't have given up quite as much of the farm.
And WHY haven't they called up Diekman yet? I though they would earlier, and was disappointed. Give that guy a shot! Schwimer needs to fix that command. He's lost it completely.
Beltran cost the giants probably their best prospect, and they didn't get the ring either, nor did they get to keep Beltran. He plays for the Cards this year, and cost them a bit as a free agent. Get your facts straight.
Wow, the bullpen has been bad… didn't realize it was this bad.
The Good… at least we have Papelbon (because if we didn't we'd have Madson)
The Bad… the rest of this bunch. Interestingly, Bastardo has been the best in terms of ERA but he has walked 7 batters (1 intentional) in 8 innings! Blanton and Hamels have fewer walks that that and they're starters who have logged 4x as many innings. When Bastardo is on the mound, you have to have all hands on deck. Qualls hasn't exactly been lock-down, either… opponents are hitting .293 against him.
I have no confidence in Schwimer and only slightly more confidence in Contreras. Contreras' velocity has been good but his command has been dreadful and his splitter hasn't been splitting. Over 5 games in A+ this year (rehab starts) he was lit up to the tune of 4R in 4.1 innings. So far with the big league club, same results (7 R in 6.1 innings). This is a 40 year old who hasn't pitched regularly and with any success since 2010… the 92 mph fastball is nice but if your splitter isn't getting people out, he's not reliable.
Sanches… whatever.
Savery – at least he's not walking people. Guys are hitting the ball hard against him (of the 6 hits he has allowed, 4 have gone for extra bases) – he might not have great stuff but he can throw a strike. He has left some sliders up in the zone but he hasn't walked guys.
Our bullpen was one of our strengths last year… there wasn't a key guy in our pen with an ERA over 4 and guys exceeded expectations. This year, we have a lot of guys that aren't pitching the way they are capable of. Blowing leads is unacceptable and we've blown a lot of leads lately.
Who would of guessed Phillies Nation writers would be the first to flake…
How does providing stats = Flake ??
"The Phillies bullpen is at or near the bottom of every major and minor standard and advanced stat." ………………….that's not an opinion, those are facts.
qualls should be dropped 4 games and 4 blown leads…there isnt anyone else to pitch instead of him??? bring up a minor leaguer they couldnt do worse
Likely to continue for another week or two. I'm thinking call up Deikman for Sanches and ask Pap to throw four or five outs once a week and/ or give him more regular work. Give the rest of the guys designated roles. If this doesn't work, I'd say search for a reliever on the early trade market instead of a slugger. I'd blame our current record not on lack of offense, but on blowing late leads.
The bullpen was so good two weeks ago!!!
Your last sentence is precisely why you don't go trade for yet another reliever.
CHAD QUALLS. One of the most realiable set-up guys in baseball… with a respectable ERA of 3.48, who had been nearly lights out all April… the guy hits a rough patch (that unfortunately coincides with other relievers sucking) and he should get cut off. GIVE ME A BREAK!!
Our pen isn't the problem. Chill out and enjoy the show.
We should have spent more time this offseason looking for talent for the bullpen. Everything is uttimately Amaro's fault anyway. He is the general manager. Hell, somebody needs to take the blame. Let it be him.
Disagree, Bart. The bullpen is the last place you spend your money, especially when you lots of relievers in the minors.
This is one area where I think RA did a good job.
You do not trade away peices of your starting 8 to get releif help, you look from within, Bastardo dispite giving up a hit last night has pitched well when used more than once a week. Savary is still a questioned mark, Swimmer is just not cutting it right now. And it seems like the Big Truck may still come around. Bad luck and bad defense has effected this team, and lack of runs, sure your pen has to shut teams down but you also have to score with second and third no outs or baseloaded with one out. Knowing you are going to give up runs you have to hit for Blanton in the bottom of the sixth and you can not swing at pitches in the dirt or over your head when you need to simply make contact. And be a little more aggresive on the basepaths
Knowing you're going to give up runs? Is Charlie Manuel now supposed to be clairvoyant? His pen was fine up until a few games ago, and some of last night's runs could be put squarely shoulders of Pete Orr's defense.
Schwimer was sent down today when Lee was activated. That alone will help, because now Kendrick can pitch some out of the bullpen. In fact, I expect he'll take over for Lee tonight, because Lee will be on a pitch count. And remember, Stutes and DeFratus aren't going to be gone forever.
As the Dipsy said,"I don't think the pen is this bad. As opposed to the offense which actually is this bad." Of course, "Don't think…this bad," doesn't mean they're particularly good, either. Diekman might help, or might not, but he's certainly worth a try, because Sanches is as worthless as Schwimer was.
Kendrick took over tonight as you perdicted. Great job, Kyle. P..fu…ing U.
Proof is in the pudding….and it is a sour pudding thus far. Hopefully that will change. Fingers crossed.
Win or lose, the Phils are my team. Have been a die-hard fan for over 53 years. Too much a part of my constitution to quit on them now. Just hope they get things straightened out.
53 years? That means you saw those God awful sixties teams.
You must have an IRON constitution to have digested that!
A lot of bad stretches in there, but overall they're now over .500 dating back to 1961.

The Role of Standards in Driving Cloud Computing Adoption
The emerging era of cloud computing
The world of computing is undergoing a radical shift, from a product focus to a service orientation, as companies increasingly access services through the cloud. There is no single definition of cloud computing. Intel defines it as a model of computing that is characterized by services delivered and consumed over the Internet. It is an end-to-end model that encompasses everything from the data center to devices that access the cloud.
Two attributes differentiate cloud computing from other implementations of computing services: scalability and elasticity. Scalability is the ability of service performance to improve as the amount of physical resources allocated (CPU, memory, disk space, network bandwidth) is increased. Elasticity is the ability to shrink or expand the resources consumed easily, even automatically, so that users pay only for the level of computing resources needed at a given time. Cloud computing is an efficient model that supports sustainability by improving the efficiency of the data center through workload consolidation (i.e., better utilization) and power management techniques.
While today many cloud providers are located in North America, this emerging model of computing is gaining visibility throughout the world. For instance, as part of its Digital Agenda to improve European access to fast Internet services and interoperable applications, the European Commission has launched a €170 million public-private partnership to help build the Internet of the future, with cloud computing as a key component. China is also focusing on the cloud; its 12th Five-Year Plan, issued in 2010, addresses cloud computing as part of an initiative to develop strategic new industries.
Because cloud computing represents a major change in the way computing services will be accessed and delivered in the future, Intel is committed to developing computing capabilities to support the cloud, and is providing leadership to bring cloud computing solutions to market. A key part of that effort is Intel's work in driving standards.

mark: This is exactly why the founding fathers created the electoral college - to give every state a voice. If we elected based on a popular vote, California and New York would dictate what happens in the rest of the country. Trump won more counties and more states, and therefore, more electors. The system worked exactly as it was supposed to. It's no wonder why the last two candidates to win the popular vote and lose the electoral college were democrats. It's because they won the big cities. But the big cities do not represent the majority of the country. It really is a brilliant system.

Plan your Spring Break Ski Trip to Jackson, WY
Spend Spring Break 2012 at Jackson, Wyoming's Snow King ResortMost colleges and universities take spring break in March, with the big weeks being March 5-23, 2012. Why go south and laze around on a beach when you can spend your spring break skiing or snowboarding some of the nation's best ski areas in Jackson Hole, Wyoming? Snow King Resort's Ski All 3 package makes it affordable to get luxury lodging and the opportunity to ski at the area's famous ski resorts. Skiing and snowboarding are healthy, alternative ways to spend your spring break. Downhill skiing and snowboarding burn about 400 calories per hour, give your legs a great workout and even have cardiovascular benefits. Read more about the benefits. And, well, it's just super fun!
Why Jackson?Cowboy powder. Sick skiing. Friendly folks. Grand views. Clean mountain air. Fabulous night life. Excellent DJ scene. Real-live cowboys. There are too many good reasons that Jackson Hole (JH) is the perfect place for college students to spend spring break.
"I did the ski bum thing in Jackson Hole, slinging drinks by night at the Million Dollar Cowboy Bar to finance billion-dollar-view skiing by day, and I lived through the nightlife and the c-c-cold days in cultured cowboy-ville to tell you Jackson is the best of the best ski towns around. And they welcome college students--believe it." -- Kathleen Crislip
Take advantage of the Snow King "Ski All 3 Package"Snow King resort's Ski All 3 package is unique in Jackson Hole. It's like having an interchangeable lift ticket! This package allows you to choose, on a daily basis, which of Jackson Hole's three ski areas you would like to visit. Choose between Snow King Ski Resort, Jackson Hole Mountain Resort and Grand Targhee Resort. Package includes Lodging at Snow King Resort, lift tickets at your chosen ski resort, daily breakfast buffet at the Atrium restaurant, skier shuttle to JHMR and Grand Targhee, and transfers between Jackson Hole Airport and Snow King Resort. Prices start at $257 per person per stay based on double occupancy in a standard hotel room staying for three nights and skiing two days.
Ski the "King": Snow King Ski HillThe town hill has a variety of ski and snowboard terrain, including one run, Upper Exhibition, rumored to be the steepest in-bounds run on the continent. Snow King is the only area resort open for night skiing (Tuesday through Saturday until 8 p.m.) and it's 2 for 1 on Tuesdays. If you're not a skier or snowboarder, check out the Snow Tubing on the Snow King hill. Read a review of Snow King. If you're lucky enough to be on spring break March 11-13, you can check out the Town Hill Ski Race that takes place annually at Snow King. Watch racers from kids to former Olympians duke it out on the steep slope.
Snow King offers a little bit of everything without being crowded." --Bill Briggs, founder of Snow King s Great American Ski School and the first person to ski the Grand Teton (in 1971).
Nightlife around the Town Square:
- The Million Dollar Cowboy Bar--saddles for barstools--giddy up!
- Koshu Wine Bar - Thursdays and Saturday nights the DJ spins 'til 2:00 a.m.
- The Silver Dollar Bar at the Wort - Classic Wyoming bar. Get ready to swing dance.
- The Town Square Tavern - Usually the last stop before the quick cab ride back to Snow King.
Ride "Big Red" to the top of Jackson Hole Mountain Resort (JHMR)If you're an expert skier or snowboarder, you can consider riding the newish, 100-person tram, aka "Big Red," to the summit at 10,450 ft. of the Jackson Hole Mountain Resort. This will give you a 4000+ vertical ft. drop down some of the nation's gnarliest terrain. If you're a novice skier, stick with the right side of the mountain or mid-mountain runs. Take the gondola up to find challenging blue runs and/or a nice spot to have lunch overlooking the Jackson Hole Valley. If your spring break happens on April 1st you can take part in all the fun that is "Gaper Fool's Day." It's no joke, people dress up in costume to go skiing. Watch out for giant bunnys skiing double black diamonds, a plethora of 80's ski clothing and moves, colored wigs, and way too many old school one-piece suits. Too much fun.
Obligatory Apres:
- Start at the Village Cafe, or what locals call "the VC", for a slice of pizza and maybe a pass at the shot ski. Take it easy, though, because the high altitude increases alcohol's effects.
- Walk due south to the world-famous Mangy Moose Saloon for some truffle fries and maybe some live entertainment. Remember, dancing in ski boots is something everyone should do at least once a lifetime!
- Rinse and repeat.
Have a Taste of the "Best Powder on Earth" at Grand Targhee ResortTake the Snow King shuttle over the hill to Grand Targhee Resort, which is a more "Colorado-esque" resort situated on the western slope of the Tetons in Alta, Wyoming, accessible only through Teton Valley. It receives a ton of light powder snow (more than 500 inches annually) and its lack of lift lines creates an uncrowded skier and snowboarder paradise. Get going early and plan on spending the whole day over there.
Post-Powder Play:
- Ski up to the Trap Bar and Grille for après and music.
- Head down the hill to Wildlife Brewing in Victor, ID for awesome beer and pizza.
- Once you get back over the Teton Pass, stop in Wilson at the Stagecoach. Get some free popcorn and shoot some pool at this "locals" bar. If it's Thursday, that means Disco Night: Dress up and boogie down. If it's Sunday night, that means "Church" or when the Stagecoach Band plays cowboy music and people enthusiastically western swing dance.
What to PackJackson Hole is the land of extremes. One minute it could be 30 degrees and the next 30 below. Plan and pack accordingly. Here are some suggestions of what to bring along. Don't worry if you forget something, Jackson has plenty of shopping to be had from super-swanky boutiques to equipped outdoor stores to the always-fun thrift shop, Browse n' Buy. If you don't have ski stuff, there are plenty of rental options.
Pack Properly:
- Warm hat, ski gloves and ski socks
- Water-resistant ski or snowboard jacket
- Insulating layer, such as a down sweater or Polartec jacket
- Mid-weight, synthetic or wool base layer
- Ski or snowboard boots
- Skis or snowboard
- Ski poles
- Ski helmet
- Goggles
- Snow boots
- Casual clothing for going out
- Sunscreen

Running Wild in the TetonsEven though the mountains are still snowy and the air brisk, most valley level trails and park roads are dry and clear. The usually busy 9 mile Moose Wilson Road between the Teton Village and the Moose entry of Grand Teton National Park is a joy to run this time of year with crisp temperatures, few vehicles and majestic views of snowy Tetons and the surrounding Mountain Range. The few bridge crossings reveal icy, clear and fast moving creeks snaking through the trees. If your idea of a perfect run is losing yourself in the surrounding scenery than May is a perfect time of year to run through the winter mountains colliding with the soon to be summer foothills. May is also a good time to see wild life. The Moose, Elk and Buffalo are all on the scene this time of year. The trails on the Snake River levee are clear of snow as well. Keep an eye out for Bald Eagles and Osprey when running these trails. If you prefer to stay off the roads and the dirt there are miles of paved bike and running trails all over Jackson. Visit Friends of Pathways to see the miles of paved trails that spread from the Teton Village to the town of Jackson and all the way to the Grand Teton National Park.

my friend's LO is a about a week older than mine. my LO is a month and 1 week. i know every baby is different but this sorta worried me a bit...
we were talking about pumping and b-feeding intake. her LO eats 6 oz! i dont think mine eats that much at all. i want to say at most he eats 3 oz.
is this normal?ok? and honestly i don't know for sure ho much he's taking in because it's not like i measure out each nursing session. im taking a guess from the times we've weighed him with the LC.
i stopped pumping but will be starting because i will be going back to work soon. i started pumping today this morning after our nursing session. i only pumped 2.5 oz. i used to pump up to 4-5...this was when we were having troubles with latch and bottle feeding.
i'm scared once i start pumping and going back to work i won't have enough supply.

Portrait of a Man, 1889
Louis AnquetinFrench, 1861-1932
Pastel on paper

Not on view
The sitter of Louis Anquetin's portrait is unknown, but his seated position and profile pose are very familiar. Anquetin arrived in the French capital in 1882 and studied in two academic ateliers before settling in with a group of friends that included Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec, Vincent van Gogh and Émile Bernard. His artistic friendships had a greater influence on him, it seems, than his official studies did, as it was after his exposure to Japanese prints via van Gogh and his consideration of other so-called primitive sources with Bernard that Anquetin developed a style known as Cloisonnism. The term was coined because the artist used large areas of even color bordered by a distinct outline, usually black, an approach that resembled that of stained-glass windows and medieval enamel works. The aged sitter is presented in a hybrid academic-Cloisonnist style: the bulging forms of his arms, torso, head, neck and hands are firmly distinguished from one another by a single black or brown outline. Instead of being merely flat expanses of color, these areas are given volume through the careful employment of light and dark.

WASHINGTON, D.C. – Having led the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) through one of the most significant transformations in the agency's history, Chairman Inez M. Tenenbaum announced today that she will not seek renomination when her terms expires in October 2013.
In an address at the International Consumer Product Health and Safety Organization annual meeting, the Chairman stated: "I plan to stay on as Chairman until my successor is nominated by the President and confirmed by the Senate, so that I can be sure that the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission is in safe hands."
"So many qualified, deserving people have wanted to serve in the President administration—and he chose me. For the rest of my life, I will be grateful to President Obama for nominating me to be Chairman of the CPSC and for giving me the opportunity to serve in his administration," added the Chairman. "It has been my great privilege to serve as Chairman of the CPSC, and the best part of my experience has been working with the many talented, dedicated professionals at the agency. "
Chairman Tenenbaum has transformed CPSC into one of the leading safety agencies in the world. Immediately after her July 2009 swearing in, Chairman Tenenbaum established a leadership philosophy aimed at making the agency more accessible and transparent; making education and advocacy a priority; and being firm, but fair, in enforcing safety laws and working to keep unsafe products out of the hands of consumers. In October 2010, Chairman Tenenbaum announced a new five-year Strategic Plan (2011-2016), which set forth a twenty-first century mission and vision for CPSC. The Strategic Plan has made CPSC more proactive, more focused on injury prevention, and moved the agency closer to being the recognized global leader in consumer product safety.
During the Chairman's tenure to date, CPSC has restored consumer confidence and achieved its mission. Below are the agency's key accomplishments from 2009 through 2012:
CPSC is at the forefront of advancing the agenda for consumer product safety, and takes a leadership role in identifying and addressing the most pressing consumer product safety priorities and mobilizing action by our partners. By collaborating with key global and domestic stakeholders, CPSC leverages its limited resources to improve product safety and mitigate the most pressing product safety hazards.
CPSC protects consumers by promoting production of safe consumer products and the development and implementation of safety standards for manufacturers, which focuses on safety early in the supply chain and help prevent hazardous products from entering consumer markets in the first place. CPSC participates in the development of voluntary safety standards, issues mandatory safety rules, trains industry stakeholders on regulatory requirements and hazard identification best practices, and engages foreign product safety regulators and foreign manufacturers to reduce production of unsafe consumer products that could enter the U.S. market. Since passage of the Consumer Product Safety Improvement Act (CPSIA) in 2008, CPSC has focused on implementing significant portions of the Act.
CPSC analyzes information on injuries, deaths, and other consumer product safety incidents to determine which product hazards represent the greatest risks to consumer safety. Sources include consumers and consumer groups, hospitals and clinics, industry, and the press, as well as economic and hazard exposure information on products under its jurisdiction. CPSC works to improve the quality of crucial product hazard data, and staff investigates specific injury cases to gain additional knowledge about injuries or hazards and any consumer products involved.
Once hazardous products have been identified, the CPSC takes action to protect consumers. CPSC intercepts goods at ports before they are distributed in commerce and holds violators accountable. Field staff conducts investigations of incidents and injuries, and inspections of manufacturers, retailers, and importers. Multidisciplinary teams of CPSC staff review investigative reports and product samples to determine when possible violations and defects warrant corrective action. When a recall is necessary, CPSC staff negotiates with the firm to seek a voluntary recall when possible.
Raising awareness of longstanding, hidden, and emerging product safety hazards is crucial to empowering consumers and reducing the risk of death and injury. CPSC has had success in educating the public and industry through increased use of social media, traditional media, and targeted safety campaigns that aim to reach vulnerable populations affected by, but not necessarily aware of certain product hazards.
View CPSC's accomplishments from 2009 through 2012.
The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission is charged with protecting the public from unreasonable risks of injury or death associated with the use of
thousands of types of consumer products under the agency's jurisdiction. Deaths, injuries, and property damage from consumer product incidents cost the
nation more than $1 trillion annually. CPSC is committed to protecting consumers and families from products that pose a fire, electrical, chemical or
mechanical hazard. CPSC's work to help ensure the safety of consumer products - such as toys, cribs, power tools, cigarette lighters and household
chemicals -– contributed to a decline in the rate of deaths and injuries associated with consumer products over the past 40 years.
Federal law bars any person from selling products subject to a publicly-announced voluntary recall by a manufacturer or a mandatory recall ordered by the
