Why Medical Aesthetics?
Many aestheticians & nurses are seeking to expand their role by working with a physician or medical setting. However, the demands of a medical setting are very different from those of spas. They are required to perform advanced chemical peels and skin care procedures with precision associated with some medical knowledge. Aestheticians need to understand how to work with therapeutic skin care products & pure acids for chemical peels and select those products that set them apart from others. Light paramedical knowledge is extremely crucial in working successfully at this level.
By attending Biomani advanced medical aesthetics program, you will not only stay current in the newest skin care modalities, but you will aquire certin skills , European techniques as well as sofisticated training in various aspects of the skin care program.

Spitzer Supports Psc Plan In Effort To Increase Competition For Local Telephone Service
Attorney General Spitzer today filed papers supporting a proposal to spur competition and allow lower phone bills for New Yorkers seeking alternatives to Verizon's local telephone service.
In Spitzer's comments filed today with the New York State Public Service Commission, he urged the PSC to support a plan to dramatically cut the prices Verizon can charge its competitors to connect to Verizon's local telephone network. The proposal will help level the playing field for other companies looking to provide local telephone service to consumers.
The Attorney General said the proposal, recently set out in the form of a Recommended Decision to the PSC by a PSC Administrative Law Judge, would be a significant step forward in providing consumers with the benefits of competition in local telephone service. Spitzer also urged the PSC to adopt further rate cuts that could encourage local competition and lower New York telephone service prices. The Attorney General has long been a vigorous advocate of increasing competition in local phone service, which serves to guarantee competitive pricing and innovative services for consumers.
"By cutting the prices Verizon can charge its competitors for the use of certain wholesale services, the PSC proposal goes a long way toward leveling the local telephone service playing field. It is our hope that increased competition will benefit New Yorkers in the form of lower prices for local telephone service," said Spitzer.
The Recommended Decision urges lowering the prices that Verizon can charge for several "unbundled network elements," or "UNEs." UNEs are equipment and services that Verizon controls based on the company's historical monopoly of local telephone service. The wiring that connects homes and businesses to the telephone network is one kind of UNE. Verizon and other former monopoly local telephone companies are required by the 1996 Telecommunications Act to rent UNE equipment and services to competitors at cost.
In addition to voicing support for most of the judge's decision, the Attorney General recommended that when setting UNE rates the PSC should recognize that Verizon can lower its costs in the current buyer's market for telecommunications equipment and that Verizon should not be allowed to charge others for correcting deficiencies in Verizon's own equipment records.

Free agency is in full swing with the start of the MLB Winter Meetings in Nashville Monday. While there are always rumors, nothing is definitive with the Oakland A's other than you just never know what Billy Beane might do. Well that and the departure of Jonny Gomes, who signed a two-year deal with the Boston Red Sox.
So of the remaining free agents the A's have left to try to re-sign, there has been no word one way or another how things will shake out. But that is precisely what this time of year is for: speculation. I'll throw my two cents in with the three players I don't see the A's retaining for 2013.

Peasant Turnip Slaw With Sweet Hot Mustard Dressing
Total Time
Prep 15 mins
Cook 1 hr
I grow turnips for their delicious greens. But I get the roots as a by-product and need to find something to use them for. Not being too fond of cooked, mashed turnips, I'm playing with salad variations. This one is tangy and sweet with just a bit of bite from the sweet hot mustard. "Cooking" time is chilling time.
Ingredients Nutrition
- 1⁄4 head cabbage
- 6 -8 turnips (small to medium)
- 1 carrot
- 1⁄4 cup finely-sliced celery
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1⁄4 cup white vinegar
- 1⁄4 cup canola oil
- 1⁄2 tablespoon sweet-hot mustard
- 1 pinch celery seed (optional)
- salt and pepper
- Peel turnips and carrot. Shred or julienne cut all the vegetables.
- Toss veggies with sugar.
- Mix dressing ingredients, whipping with a fork or a whisk until the mustard is dissolved.
- Toss dressing with veggies.
- Chill at least one hour to blend flavors.
- Note: Can substitute Splenda or preferred artificial sweetener to make this diabetic-friendly.

After searching for a couple of weeks, I finally found some small white turnips I wanted to use to prepare the slaw. DH and I enjoyed this for lunch, served with our hot dogs! I loved the extra crunch of the turnip and the bit of heat from the mustard. I did reduce the amount of sugar and it was still sweet enough for us. I added the celery seeds, another nice flavour when you crunch one of the seeds!
Delicious slaw. Love the tangy dressing. Served it with hamburgers and oven french fries. Yum.

Motherhood is full of joyful moments–and those not-so-joyful ones we agonize over. As you become more experienced as a parent, you learn to accept as what my friends and I call Bad Mommy Moments. A few years ago, after my children (and I) had survived their toddlerhood and were enrolled at last in full-time school, I had a moment to reflect on what I was, and–more pressingly–wasn't doing well as a stay-at-home mother. I was great at keeping things on the domestic front humming along–okay, we weren't starving or buried up to our necks in clutter, and the house hadn't yet crumbled about our ears. Check. The children were washed and fed on a more or less regular schedule, and we even got them to school on time every morning. Check. Most surprisingly, I had found ways to enjoy running our home life after my cold-turkey transition from challenging, full-time work to the stay-at-home life. Check. My marriage, while certainly weathering stresses and strains neither of us had anticipated, was still intact despite--and maybe even stronger because of–the shared challenges of parenting. Check.
So what was I less happy about? Putting aside the times we turn to each other in horror and wonder how–how on earth?–we produced these monstrous offspring who won't eat or sleep or behave the way we tell them to (those moments are, after all, common to all parents), the worst part of parenting is the hideous behavior I never knew was in me until I became a mother. Yes, earlier in my life I was known to let loose as quasi-hysterical, melodramatic screamer and drama queen. But for so many years after that, as I basked in the glow of my childless, happily coupled-up existence, I truly believed the emotional tempestuousness of my youth was behind me. I'd achieved a new balance and equanimity in my outlook on life.
Enter baby number one.
A difficult sleeper, an infant who spurned baby food, a toddler who loved and required constant attention from adults, a preschooler who engaged everyone in her path with her fearless personality; this baby–this love of my life–pushed my buttons from her very first weeks of life. I have some terrifying, shameful memories of screaming at her, a tiny baby, when she wouldn't nap, and of tearfully hurling precious, homemade baby food into the trash. We lived in a one-bedroom apartment, and when it was unavoidably sleep-training time, we lay there, rigid and sleepless, while she bawled for hours from her bassinet at the foot of our bed. I would walk along the beach where we lived, with her howling and screaming in her stroller, while I gulped back bitter tears and tried to keep moving, despite the black cloud of doom I could feel hovering just over my head.
Although we survived this, and the arrival of a second, easier child two years later, motherhood triggered a return of the volatility in my personality I thought I'd outgrown. Apparently, Ma Jekyll needed only a strong dose of sleeplessness, combined with the careening loss of control that parenting brings, in order to emerge, stronger than ever. I became a screamer, a crier, a mother who raged and threw things (or wanted to). I hated losing control of my temper, and I felt terribly guilty afterwards. Worst of all was knowing they would remember not only my bad moods and irrational angers, but the words that flew heedless from my mouth. We all have a few choice childhood memories of things our parents said to us when they were angry, and they still sting, decades later. Now I was sure I was inflicting the same kinds of wounds on my children.
So when I sat down a couple of years ago, in this rare moment of self-reflection, I thought about putting a curb on my sharp tongue. And I know many other mothers who wish they could do the same. Just last week, some friends and I were laughingly sharing some of the awful things we find ourselves saying to our children, our better instincts be damned. So I created a little list: "Things I Will Not Say to My Children." It sits on my computer desktop now, as a reminder that although anger and Bad Mommy Moments are unavoidable, we can choose the words we use to express our frustrations, and perhaps even try to get our point across without unnecessarily inflicting lasting scars. Your list may be a different one, but I'd encourage all mothers–no, all parents–to come up with a selection of the things they'd rather they didn't say to their kids. Maybe, just maybe, it will help you excise those cutting words from your parenting vocabulary.
Things I Will Not Say to My Children:
1. "What's wrong with you?"
This is a big one for me. One of the greatest frustrations of motherhood is children's apparent inability to listen to and follow instructions. Repeated instructions. You can say the same thing until you are actually sick of the sound of your own voice, and still your children ignore you. So after a while you wonder: are they flawed or damaged in some way–how else could your voice fail to register? As common a feeling as this is, it's pretty clear why this is a particularly bad choice of phrasing. All children disobey and ignore their parents. In fact, child psychologists have suggested that only children who feel safe and confident in their parents enjoy the liberty to be naughty and disobedient. Inattention and even misbehavior are part and parcel of childhood, and for us to infer a fundamental flaw is simply cruel.
2. "Why don't you ever...?" and "Why do you always...?"
Like Bad Thing Number One, this phrasing is problematic because of how it exceeds the situation. Be mad about what your child has done, sure; be frustrated that you've had to repeat yourself ad nauseum, but try not to extrapolate beyond the moment. Your child is not always bad, and your child does sometimes do what she's told; to let the anger of the moment become a referendum on your child's character is unnecessary and flat-out mean, however tempting.
3. Name-calling
Schools these days, from day one, teach children not to call each other names. But parents can be far more guilty of this than schoolyard bullies, and no one's there to send us to the principal's office. Don't call your child a brat, or something worse, unless you want them to think of themselves that way. A name is much harder to outgrow than a behavior. Once a spoiled brat, always a spoiled brat–at least, that's what they will think. I have, in moments of desperation, bent this rule slightly to say, "You are acting like a...", but I think that only makes me feel better–I'm pretty sure children don't get the subtle distinction there. But I do get desperate sometimes.
Finally, when all else fails, I've found refuge in sarcasm. Children aren't particularly attuned to it, yes, and it does confuse them–but it's still marginally better than being mean. I'm hoping to tackle my reliance on snarkiness at a later date, though; for now, I'd settle for sticking to my list.

Linking Science and Social Issues
Why is this course a SENCER model?
Honors 270 teaches environmental science through a multitude of issues associated with living on a densely populated, low-lying shoreline with a history of industrial development that goes back to the 1700s. The civic issues are broadly divided into three groups: natural hazards, anthropogenic impacts, and potential impacts of climate change.
Hurricane Preparedness
An important civic issue facing Connecticut relates to hurricane preparedness. Connecticut has not experienced a Category 3 or larger storm in 70 years and few citizens of the state have direct experience of the destructive force of a large hurricane. In fact, Connecticut has over 400 billion dollars of insured property in coastal areas, one of the highest values in the nation. Connecticut population densities are focused along the coast in large cities and along the Connecticut River, and both areas would be prone to flooding during a strong storm.
How prepared is Connecticut for a major hurricane? In our course there is a major focus on the potential impacts of a repeat occurrence of the 1938 hurricane. This storm assaulted the coast with a 14-18 foot storm tide, 15-foot waves, winds up to 90 mph, and copious rainfall. The impacts of this storm included the confirmed deaths of 682 people across the New England region with another 1500 people missing; the loss of homes for 4,000 people due to flooding; and the greatest amount of destruction in U.S. history until the advent of Hurricane Hugo in 1989. What would be the comparable impacts today from such a storm? Storm impacts include not only loss of life and coastal structures but also beach and wetland loss via erosion and degradation. Students examine threatened coastal environments and survey elevation changes along coastal roads to observe threatened coastal habitats and properties.
Harbor Sediment Contamination
Connecticut has a rich industrial history and current and past
human activities have resulted in the contamination of harbor and
Long Island Sound sediments with metals of environmental concern.
One of our course modules examines the industrial history of New
Haven harbor by contrasting the economic uses of the harbor with
the natural environments that exist within the harbor. New Haven
harbor receives contaminants via tributary rivers, treated
effluents from industry and municipal wastewater, storm water
runoff from highways and parking lots,
atmospheric deposition from automobiles and coastal fossil-fuel power plants, and discharges from shipping and marinas.
Due to regional energy needs, the placement of electric cables and natural gas pipelines from New Haven to Long Island, NY has highlighted the need to determine the spatial variation of sediment metals in coastal harbors. Burial of the cables and pipelines may suspend potentially contaminated sediment into the water column for transport to previously less impacted sediment. Our course examines the following questions: Are the sediments in New Haven harbor contaminated with copper? Are the levels of copper in the sediments harmful to commercially important marine organisms? Are there strategies to reduce the amount of contaminants entering New Haven harbor? Students develop hypotheses concerning the extent of sediment contamination based on the sediment type (sand vs. silt) and the location of the sediment in the harbor (proximity to sources of contamination).
Sediment samples are collected during a harbor cruise and the sediments are analyzed for physical (grain size and composition) and chemical characteristics (copper content). Results are then compared to their original hypotheses. Results of the HON 270 analyses have contributed to a GIS database of sediment metal analyses in New Haven harbor and have been presented at regional Long Island Sound Research Conferences. The data, once on-line, will be a useful tool for decision makers concerning the quality of harbor sediment.
Climate Change
Recent scientific studies show that residents in Connecticut can expect to live in a warmer climate in future years. The problems related to climate change include loss or reduction in living marine resources, sea level rise, increased storm intensity and frequency, changes in precipitation patterns and impacts on water resources, and effects of climate change on human heath. According to these studies, changes in the biological diversity in Long Island Sound, including the potential loss of the lobster fishery, are due to warmer water temperatures. The introduction of the mosquito borne West Nile virus, along with the extended range and increasing abundance of the deer tick (Lyme disease), have serious human health consequences.
Our course examines the potential consequences of climate change to residents of Connecticut, with an emphasis on impacts along the coastline. What are the anticipated consequences of climate change in Connecticut? We want students to identify important economic, social, and environmental consequences of a changing climate. Are there strategies available to reduce our emission of greenhouse gases? Students need to make specific recommendations concerning how residents in Connecticut, and themselves as individuals, can reduce their carbon footprint. How will Connecticut adapt to a changing climate? Student group presentations focus on a specific aspect of a changing climate in Connecticut, and students deliver the results of their research in a mini-symposium attended by students and faculty.

If you've heard anything about the growing 'Slow Movement', then you may have wondered how you could make this practice work for your business. The Slow Movement concentrates on living a life of more enjoyment and less rushing around to get things done, just for the sake of doing them. Its focus is value, both in your personal life and in your business, and that value in your business includes time for you as well as time for your clients.
While very much a proponent of work/life balance, The Slow Movement takes things a step further by incorporating all aspects of your life, ensuring that you are totally involved in every minute of your day, not wasting time on the unimportant. It takes notice of the fact that fast and busy are not the same as effective and focused.
Three noticeable ways that you can slow down while running your business are:
Stay calm.
Most business mistakes are made when we are under pressure. Decisions that are made in a hurry without listening to your inner voice can be costly. The lost art of reflection before action, spending time thinking things through before rushing into them is one that we should gladly learn to appreciate. It will be of benefit to you in many ways, not the least of which is your business.
Concentrate on value.
Recently, with the accelerating pace of our jobs and the expectations because of this, most small business owners feel they are in a race to always be the best – and the best these days usually means the fastest! But we aren't necessarily receiving anything in return for this. Our lives are not improving, we aren't making more money and we definitely aren't happier. Our health and peace of mind are both paying the price for our increase in speed. In order to do things well, we need to slow down.
Decide what really matters.
One thing that is epidemic in our society is wasting our time on the unimportant. While The Slow Movement does consider that we rush around too much, it also emphasizes the fact that a lot of the rushing is all in our heads. The use of technology for so many more things than in the past has actually added to our stress by making an app available for just about everything. Step outside of the crowd and be bold enough to do things a little bit differently. Actually live your life!
The Slow Movement can be a lifesaver for those who find their lives filled with too many things to do and too many responsibilities – real or imagined! Taking the time to do things at the right speed and as well as you can – high quality work instead of a lot of work – means your business will benefit and so will you.

The idea behind starting a one-man band was that Phil Cogley would answer to no one. As the only member of The Saturday Giant, he had total creative control and the power to tour whenever he pleased.
Along with such tantalizing freedoms came challenges. Namely: How to perform artful, epic, multifaceted rock music all by himself?
He recruited friends to be his backing band, but they couldn't commit to the radical extent Cogley envisioned. He toyed with playing guitar over canned tracks, but that felt inauthentic and unexciting. So Cogley purchased what would become his most important equipment, a Boomerang III Phrase Sampler looping pedal that allowed him to rebuild his songs from scratch every night, capturing sounds on the spot and layering them like LEGOs.
"Nothing is prerecorded," Cogley explained. "All the sounds are created while I'm on stage."
Cogley spent the past couple years perfecting this technique. He appeared at countless Columbus festivals, played lots of regional shows and toured to Texas for SXSW. He released When Death Comes, a heartfelt catharsis to complement his fantastical sci-fi concept EP You've Heard of Dragons, and started work on his full-length debut.
All that momentum almost came to a screeching halt when Cogley's equipment was stolen from his car last summer, but a wisely purchased insurance policy saved the day.
Having survived that jagged speed bump, last fall Cogley embarked on his greatest adventure yet, a 30-day tour of the eastern U.S. that exhilarated but exhausted him. His lesson for next time: "Try to get more sleep. I don't really know how, but it's important."
He'll have plenty of chances to put that wisdom in action in 2013, starting with a West Coast tour this winter. It's new territory for a musician whose approach presents a new frontier for many listeners.
"People don't usually know exactly what to expect," Cogley said. "Even though it's a pretty prevalent performance technique, there are still a lot of people who've never seen anyone do it. So for the most part I think I'm able to walk in with a sheet of blank expectations and just do what I do."

However, they need a certain clock/key to help them in their search, and they have to find the talisman in one week or wait until the next planetary alignment to find it again. Lara happens to find that key hidden in a wall of her mansion. The Illuminati steal it, and Lara gets an old letter from her deceased father telling her about the society's agenda (Her father was also the one who hid the key). Now, she must retrieve the key and find and destroy the talisman before the Illuminati can get their hands on it.

Ugly Symmetry, Beautiful Diversity
Shu-Kun Lin
MDPI, Molecular Diversity Preservation International, Matthaeusstrasse, Basel CH-4057 Switzerland (address updated on 27 November 2005)

June 12, 1999
My theory of structural stability and process spontaneity is a new and a quantitative relation of the five concepts: higher symmetry, higher similarity, higher entropy, less information and less diversity; and they are all related to higher stability.
In many books on symmetry, symmetry is regarded as a measure of beauty. Why symmetry is beautiful? My answer is that symmetry contributed to beauty only because symmetry is related to higher stability. However, symmetry is in principle ugly because it is related to information loss and diversity loss.
In many modern arts museum, you can always find a couple of paintings which have nothing on them but same pure white color everywhere. It has obviously the highest symmetry. Symmetry is beautiful? OK, that's it!
Why not? The emperor is topless and bottomless, even though many great intellectuals can cheerfully enjoy his most beautiful clothes. The most symmetric paintings are the emperor's new clothes.
Symmetry is in principle and generally ugly because it is associated with the information loss or entropy increase.
Misunderstanding of the entropy concept (information loss) associated with the second law of thermodynamics is well known, even among some scientists. However, the concept of symmetry or similarity is very easy to understand. Mathematics regarding symmetry is group theory which has been well established. This new relation provides new and broader mathematical approaches to study entropy and related topic of structural stability and process spontaneity. The second law of thermodynamic can be much more clearly expressed by symmetry and similarity concepts. Meanwhile, symmetry studies have a new approach.
Higher symmetry is directly associated with higher similarity. Semantically, symmetry is "sameness measure" in Greek. The "same" is the "most similar". We can use similarity to define the sameness measure. If a subject is the same on many directions, scientists say there is rotational symmetry. If you always find the same molecules and same orientations when you go certain distances in a crystal, you have translational symmetry.
According to Gibbs, the so-called Gibbs paradox (see the website http://www.mdpi.org/lin/entropy/gibbs-paradox.htm), all the textbooks give the relation of higher similarity-lower entropy. The new and the correct relation is the opposite of this conventional relation. "Birds of a feather flock together." As a result, different things separate. Scientists say this phenomenon is phase separation when the same (or most similar) substances go together. Many phenomena of spontaneous process like this can be explained only if the new relation of "higher similarity (higher symmetry)-higher entropy" is recognized. Traditionally these are regarded as discrete or "yes-or -no" properties. According to Gibbs, the properties are either the same (indistinguishability) or not the same. According to classical textbooks on symmetry, a system under consideration is either symmetric or not symmetric. In my theory, symmetry, similarity and entropy are all continuous measures.
A gas of high entropy is more symmetric because it is isotropic (and homogeneous), compared with a solid (such as a crystal). This might be difficult to understand. It would be easier to understand if you compare a dynamic system with another dynamic system (e.g., homogeneous and nonhomogeneous fluids) or a static system with another static system (e.g., a crystal and a noncrystal solid). Therefore, I categorize symmetry, similarity, entropy and information loss concepts into two kinds: static and dynamic, to explain all kinds of natural phenomena.
Rapid dynamic motion leads to information loss. You cannot find the beautiful face of a girl if she rotate rapidly around a straight line to become a cylinder, or rotate around a point to become a sphere. Suppose a tank of gas is divided into two parts. One is full while the other part is in vacuum. Now the door connecting these two parts is opened, the situation (or state, in physical chemistry definition) is not symmetric (the two parts are not the same) and has low entropy. Dynamic motion leads to high symmetry (the two parts are the same) and higher entropy. This is an example of dynamic symmetry, similarity and entropy. At higher temperature, any system would like to have the highest possible dynamic symmetry, similarity and entropy, so that the concentration and the other properties are the same (most similar) on all directions and all accessible parts. If everyone in a country claims he or she is the president, has the equal power and moves around in a same way, this would be very high symmetry. The dynamic situation would be chaotic. Crystal might be more beautiful than fluids because solid structure obviously has less dynamic symmetry. In a crystal, isotropicity does not exist: the properties along different directions are diferent. That is why we like chocolate or ice cream of certain figure and may not like the melt chocolate or running ice cream soup.
Symmetric static structure is also stable but not necessarily beautiful. A beautiful model, whether she stands or sites, never poses herself in a symmetric style before the crowd. A fit and beautiful body should differ from a most symmetric, spherical shape of over weighted body. A Chinese empress would sit in a symmetry style because stability was more interesting to her. The pyramid in Egypt is stable and old. But it is by no means the beautiful construction. Static symmetry is ugly.
Static symmetry is also related to information loss. Information will be lost if the ink is extremely faint or the same as the background. Crystal is more stable than noncrystal solid because the former has high static symmetry, the perfect symmetry of a paper without any information. Children understand it: On the walls of children's classrooms and bedrooms a visitor may find a lot of paintings, drawings and even scrawls done by the kids. If you do not put some colorful drawings there, children will create some there. The innocent children would like to destroy the ugly and boring symmetry surrounding them. If your kids destroy symmetry on the walls, they are normal and doing well.
Why do we appreciate diversities, such as biodiversity, cultural diversity, etc., and why is diversity beautiful? My theory gives a clear answer. If a collection of 10000 stamps have extremely high similarity, which means you have them all of the same figure and size, even though this kind of stamp is a very interesting one. Scientists call it the permutational symmetry: If you exchange the positions of any two stamps, your album of stamps is still the same. You cannot recognize the replacement. This collection is not beautiful and not precious because it lacks diversity. A library of 10000 copies of the same book is not nice either. Based on this idea, as a chemist, I initiated MDPI, an international project of collecting diverse chemical samples to build up molecular diversity (See the website http://www.mdpi.org). I will not collect 10000 samples of the same compound, even though it might be very interesting, e.g., the famous C60 molecule. C60 is beautiful not because of its symmetry, but because of its distinct structure and property compared to many other molecules and because this contributed to the diversity of molecules we studied. Many derivatives of C60 have been synthesized by organic chemists. These derivatives have symmetry reduced, they are more difficult to prepare and should be more interesting. Very few drugs or bioactive compounds are very symmetric. For similar reason, it is true that we may feel a symmetric object beautiful if we have many other objects of less symmetry in our collection or in our experience. This symmetric object contributes the diversity.
Diversity is beautiful. Symmetry is not. Coffee with sugar and cream is an interesting drink because of its diversity in taste (sweet and bitter) and color (white and dark). Diversity in a mixture makes the so-called high throughput screening of bioactivity testing possible. USA is considered as a nice country because of its tolerance to all kinds of diversity (racial diversity, cultural diversity, religious diversity, etc.). Without such appreciation of diversity, this country would become much less colorful and less beautiful. If everyone behaves the same as you, looks the same as you, and there is a lot of symmetry, the world would be truly ugly. Democracy is a sort of social diversity, I believe.
I would like to comment that Dr. Ilya Prigogine's dissipative structure theory of symmetry and entropy is erroneous, misleading, and possibly useless. His theory is based on the tacit and wrong conception that symmetry is order (and reduction of entropy). It has been presented by most of my respected teachers as unbelievably important, beautiful and useful. Therefore, 20 years ago as a young student of chemistry, I wanted to understand Prigogine's theory and I studied all kinds of related mathematics and physics, including several graduate courses in physics, to prepare myself. Now, after more than 20 years, first 10 years of theoretical investigation, then, several years of diverse experimental practice in chemistry laboratories, I have a clear opinion regarding his symmetry and entropy theory. Its main problem is that it does not conform with the second law of thermodynamics. The famous second law says "chaos out of order"; Prigogine says "order out of chaos". Therefore, it is not a surprise that an honest chemist (among any other educated chemists, physicists, biologists, etc.) will tell you that he has never found an application of his theory in chemistry (or in biology, physics, engineering, ...). For more information and on-going discussions, please visit http://www.mdpi.org/entropy/htm/e1010001.htm website. Prigogine's theory and the public opinion (including that of many otherwise respected scientists) regarding his theory for so many years might be a perfect story of the emperor's new cloths. Think about it.
The second law of thermodynamics is correct. Symmetry is related to information loss which is entropy. Any spontaneous process will lead to an equilibrium state which certainly has the highest values of static and dynamic symmetries. Following the Clausius statement (in German) "Die Energie der Welt ist constant. Die Entropie der Welt strebt einem Maximum zu" (The energy of the universe is constant. The entropy of the universe tends toward a maximum), http://webserver.lemoyne.edu/faculty/giunta/clausius.html), we may claim that the universe evolve towards a maximum symmetry.

Disney has released the first official synopsis for Tim Burton's upcoming film Frankenweenie. The movie is a remake of a short Burton made as a college student back in 1984. Over 25 years have passed since it was released and he's got the funds, the time, the energy, and the acting talent to reboot it. Check out the synopsis and cast list below…
From creative genius Tim Burton ("Alice in Wonderland," The Nightmare Before Christmas") comes "Frankenweenie," a heartwarming tale about a boy and his dog. After unexpectedly losing his beloved dog Sparky, young Victor harnesses the power of science to bring his best friend back to life—with just a few minor adjustments. He tries to hide his home-sewn creation, but when Sparky gets out, Victor's fellow students, teachers and the entire town all learn that getting a new "leash on life" can be monstrous.
A stop-motion animated film, Frankenweenie will be filmed in black and white and rendered in 3D, which will elevate the classic style to a whole new experience.
The cast will include Winona Ryder, Martin Short, Catherine O'Hara, Martin Landau, Charlie Tahan, and Atticus Shaffer.
Frankenweenie will open in theaters on October 5, 2012.
What do you think of the cast and story for Frankenweenie?

On Dec. 29, Britney Gavitt had just spent Christmas at Children's and needed a pick-me-up before heading into surgery the next morning. Her smile wasn't gone for long. As soon as the Ole Miss Rebels football team walked in the doors of the hospital, the 8-year-old perked up.
Since 2005, Britney has been a regular visitor at Children's. She was diagnosed with a rare degenerative disease that attacks her organs and causes high fevers and intense pain.
"Right before the players got there, Britney found out about her surgery so she was all upset," said Holly Gavitt, Britney's mom. "But she came alive when those guys sat down next to her. They treated her like a queen."
More than 100 Ole Miss football players kicked off the 74th annual AT&T Cotton Bowl Classic with the patients at Children's. The team will take on Oklahoma State University on Saturday, Jan. 2, at the Cowboys Stadium.
Before meeting the rest of their young fans on the inpatient floors, Coach Houston Nutt and the players led patients in a "Go Rebels" yell to rev up the team before the big game.
"We try to teach our players to be difference makers," Coach Nutt said. "And that's what all of you here at the hospital are – difference makers for these kids."

Protocol Review
One of the aims of the Clinical Research Office at the University of Vermont Cancer Center is to help medical professionals navigate their protocols through the approval process. We provide data management support, provide on-going quality assurance for our in-house protocols, review cancer-related clinical trials by our Protocol Review and Monitoring Committee and, most importantly, are here to help investigators get their protocols ready for submission.
Protocol Development/Clinical Trial Coordination
1. All cancer clinical trials and laboratory studies require the University of Vermont Cancer Center Protocol Review and Monitoring Committee (PRMC) and Institutional Review Board (IRB) approval. We strongly encourage you to seek PRMC approval first. Our office is available at all times to help investigators through this review process. Please contact us for any assistance in this area.
2. We strongly encourage you to have a statistician review your protocol before it gets submitted to the PRMC. This is often the most time-consuming activity on our committee.
3. While it can be important to collaborate with other institutions and share important research, from a regulatory standpoint, there are certain stipulations which need to be addressed. If you think you are going to involve other sites with your research, please let the clinical research office know as soon as possible as there are amendments and agreements which need to be in place first.
4. Please refer to other areas on the University of Vermont Cancer Center website for specific instructions on the requirements for submission to the PRMC.
5. Contracts for industry trials must go through the Office of Clinical Trials and therefore it is prudent to contact them first for instructions on this process.
6. The Clinical Trials Office helps to coordinate all aspects of protocol development, quality assurance, audit readiness, IRB compliance, and following NCI regulated guidelines.
7. Cancer clinical research involves many collaborations including regulatory staff, research nurses, pharmacists, data managers and principal investigators. Many of the research staff have particular areas of expertise. The University of Vermont Cancer Center office helps to coordinate the best teams possible.
Protocol Review and Monitoring System
The University of Vermont Cancer Center's Protocol Review and Monitoring System (PRMS) provides a centralized system for review and monitoring of clinical trials. The Protocol Review and Monitoring Committee (PRMC) was initially titled the Protocol Review Committee (PRC), established in 1993. The committee was renamed in June 2015. This committee reviews all clinical cancer protocols at the University of Vermont and The University of Vermont Medical Center prior to initiation. The Clinical Research Oversight Committee (CROC), established in 1998, provided additional oversight for clinical trials. A new Data Safety and Monitoring Committee will be in place by the winter of 2016.
Process and Criteria for Prioritizing Protocols
It is the policy of the Cancer Center to give the highest priority to investigator-initiated protocols when enrolling patients. The order of priority is:
1. Investigator-initiated protocols
2. Cooperative group protocols
3. Industry-initiated protocols
Direct competition (e.g. for patient resources) rarely occurs with these groupings to the extent that one protocol is fully deprioritized (e.g., rejected), due solely to concerns of competition. Efforts are made through research program meetings and other interactions of leadership and members to avoid initiation of directly conflicting protocols by investigators.
If a protocol is determined to compete with another protocol or be of a lower priority, it may be approved but it is noted that it is a lower priority. In addition, High Priority (HP) protocols (including HP cooperative group protocols) will be noted on the list of active protocols available to physicians/surgeons on the University of Vermont Cancer Center website. This list of current clinical trials is routinely updated on the University of Vermont Cancer Center website.
Model Protocols and Forms
To assist investigators in writing protocols, the University of Vermont Cancer Center Clinical Trials Office has drafted model protocol and informed consent documents. Investigators may use these documents when designing clinical trial protocols, or refer to the Informed Consent Checklist when drafting their own consent forms.
- Protocol Templates from NCI
- Protocol Template from UVM IRB
- Consent Template from UVM IRB
- Protocol Template from UVM Cancer Center
Submission of New Protocols
Submission of protocols and forms to the PRMC is done electronically through the UVM Commons. The link to the PRMC page on the Commons is: https://commons.med.uvm.edu/cp/uvmcc/prmc/default.aspx . Please contact Emily Harwood at 656-2967 with questions about using the Commons and to create an account to submit documents electronically.
Other Required Forms For Protocols
The University of Vermont Cancer Center requires other forms to be submitted when amendments to protocols are done.
The forms required by the PRMC for opening a study or maintaining a study are found on this website based on the type of protocol: Investigator-initated; Cooperative group; Industry-sponsored.
Additionally, cancer protocols must submit accrual data to the UVM Cancer Center on a quarterly basis using the appropriate study-specific form below:
- Quarterly Report Form - Investigator-Initiated
- Quarterly Report Form - Industry Sponsor
- Quarterly Report Form - Cooperative Group or NCTN-Sponsored
Repository studies as well as non-interventional, non-therapeutic cancer studies that are investigator-initiated must submit information about the study progress on a semi-annual basis. The form for the semi-annual reporting is below:
When a study has been completed, and when all Quarterly Report forms have been submitted, the PI should submit a final study report to the UVM Cancer Center:

Madison residents will now have an option for disposing of household batteries.
City officials said residents can drop off batteries at one of the city's two full-service drop-off sites at 4602 Sycamore Ave. and 1501 W. Badger Rd., two Metcalfe's Market locations at 726 N. Midvale Drive and 7455 Mineral Point Road and the Williamson St. Co-op at 1221 Williamson Street.
Madison Recycling Coordinator George Dreckmann said recycling household batteries is expensive. He said it costs $1,300 per ton because there's not a lot of recyclable material in them.
The program is funded through savings realized in the electronic recycling program. It's been run as a test program for a year and a half.

Student-oriented learning outlines: a valuable supplement to traditional instruction
Journal of continuing education in nursing (1998)
In a time of changing health care and funding restraints in institutions, continuing education and staff development departments are being challenged to produce better prepared nurses at reduced costs per employee. Improvements in how nurses are prepared are needed to ensure higher levels of competence without increasing the cost. This article describes the development and use of a practical strategy for mastery learning known as Student-Oriented Learning Outlines or SOLOs. This approach has been found to be effective in producing improvements in learning and ultimately patient care while reducing cost to the institution.

York Beats WAC, Improves to 4-0
from press release
CHESTERTOWN, Md. – Visiting York (PA) College built a four-goal halftime lead en route to an 11-6 non-conference men's lacrosse win over host Washington College this afternoon on Kibler Field at Roy Kirby, Jr. Stadium. The Spartans improved to 4-0 with the win, while the Shoremen fell to 1-2 with the loss.
The score was knotted at 2-2 before the Spartans ran off four unanswered goals in the second quarter to build a 6-2 lead on a goal by Josh Gamble off an assist from James Lowe with 59 seconds left in the half. Jimmy Langton scored three goals in the first half for the Spartans.
The Shoremen twice cut the lead to two goals in the third quarter, but could get no closer. The Spartans scored the final three goals of the game to provide the final margin.
Langton finished the game with five goals to lead all scorers. Gamble added two goals and one assist, while B.J. Blaker scored a pair of goals and Lowe andJason Underwood each had one goal and one assist for the Spartans.
Freshman attackman Jim Cusick (Fallston, MD/Calvert Hall) led the Shoremen with two goals, while senior midfielder Shane Kaski (Mosley, VA/Midlothian) and sophomore midfielder Patrick Coyle (Reisterstown, MD/Calvert Hall) each had one goal and one assist for Washington.
York goalie Tyler Powell and WC junior goalie Peter Stewart (Annapolis, MD/St. Mary's) each had 15 saves in the game. York held a 38-33 advantage in shots, including a 23-11 advantage over the middle two periods. Each team won 10 face-offs, while the Shoremen held a 36-27 advantage in ground balls.
The Shoremen return to action Sunday with a 1:00 p.m. home game against Wesley College.

Choi Mun-kee, who received an engineering Ph.D. from NC State in 1989, has been named to a high position in South Korea's government.
Park Geun-hye, South Korea's president, named Choi last month as the Minister of Future Creation and Science.
That position will play an integral part in reinvigorating South Korea's economy. "The Ministry of Future Planning and Science has been dubbed the centerpiece to achieve Park's campaign pledge of developing a 'creative economy,' aimed at boosting national output as well as offering decent jobs," reported the Korea Times in April.
Before his recent appointment, Choi was a faculty member at the Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology and led South Korea's Electronics and Telecommunications Research Institute. He's credited with forming one of the best Internet infrastructures in the world.

Did you guys watch the season premeire of Lost last night? We all did here at G4, and below you'll find some snap reactions to the show. For more in-depth analysis,TheFeed's guide to Lost will be published every Tuesday morning to get you all pumped for the show that night.
Andrew Pfister, Personal Assistant to Jacob: Oh, where to begin. Let's keep it simple until next week's pre-episode banter. Here are my big takeaways from last night:
1) The Island's underwater: It's not due to the bomb, because New Otherton was shown, which means it got built on dry land after the 1977 "Incident." The sinking must have happened after that, and my theory is that it has something to do with the volcano mentioned in season 3's Ben episode "The Man Behind The Curtain."
2) Smokey! Good call from reader blindsideofthesun in Monday's question post, who noted that it should have been obvious that "The Man in Black" was the smoke monster. I don't know if they'll explain exactly *how* the monster works, but hopefully we'll get an MIB origin story. It also proved my assumption correct from way back in Season 3 when we first saw the cabin – the ashes keep Smokey at bay…just as long as he doesn't knock you out of the ring and impale you on a post.
3) Richard, aka "Ricardus," was at one point in chains. Which pretty much means he originally came to the Island on the Black Rock.
4) Like Smokey, the Island's healing power was revealed (but also not fully explained). The significance of the Temple's pool water turning brown most likely is a result of Jacob's death, but how does that affect Sayid's resurrection? (If that really is Sayid now…)
5) Juliet is dead dead, because she got the tender "Death Theme From LOST" piano ballad. But there are now two realities, so who knows what happened to Juliet in the "No Crash" branch? Miles hearing her ghost-say that "it worked" probably means she's alive and well back in America and never ended up going to the Island in the first place (otherwise, she'd be under water).
6) Dharma Shark!
Jake Gaskill, Survivor: "Dead characters" resurrected through the spirits that inhabit the island, the smoke monster, Sawyer being all "I'm going to kill you...oh, OK. I'll just sit over here and be all broody," and more questions being raised than answered: It's nice to see the folks at Lost are really mixing things up for the final season!
While I know the show's most important questions won't be answered until the last five minutes of the final episode, I'm still looking forward to the journey to get there. The first season will always be my favorite, but I am digging where the story is at right now, and I can't wait to see where it goes from here.
Lost has been the ultimate example of why questions are always more interesting than answers. I mean, speculating about the identity of the Wizard of Oz is infinitely more compelling than finding out that it's just some eccentric rich dude hiding behind a curtain. Then again, finding out something like Kevin Spacey is Keiser Sose can be pretty rad too. That's because it all comes down to what the answer is, and I'm really hoping Lost comes to a close in a way that's just as thought provoking and gripping as the way it started. Not to set the bar too high or anything.
What happened to the other mini-Vodka bottle?! Lost is so craaaaazy!!!
Stephen Johnson, Other: I watched last night's episode from the perspective of a former fan who gave up after season four of Lost, and I found it utterly incomprehensible. All the Losties here at G4 have been yelling at me all morning because they feel my opinion is worthless, as I have not seen the fifth season of the show. But I still watched last night's program, and here's what I thought: Watching Lost without knowing what happened last season was like suffering through a root canal without anesthetics – all the CGI, and "meaningful" slow-motion reaction shots were just terrible without context, and why should anyone care if people die when their characters always show up again? "But that's because of alternative time-lines!" they say. Blach blah blah. Who cares? Anyway, they tell me if I watched the last season of the show I'd be really impressed. Maybe so. Whatever.
I'll shut up now, though, as it's been made very clear to me that Lost isn't a show for people not committed to studying every episode. Lost is serious business. Come to think of it, the reason I stopped watching Lost was because it started to feel like an assignment as opposed to entertainment, and who needs that? In the future, I will either watch season five or shut up about Lost.
Patrick Klepek, Oceanic Six: Well, the last season premiere of Lost is officially over. That actually makes me sad. We've been waiting years for answers and, like it or not, we're about to get them. Lost is the most challenging show I've ever watched, requiring the viewer to pay unusually close attention to every detail, however seemingly insignificant, and typically watch an episode multiple times to process everything (and still be confused). The season premiere was exactly what Lost fans have been looking for since the beginning and established an end game for the series. Will the fake John Locke get to meet the new (old?) alternate-reality John Locke? Did the show just imply that Richard Alpert was a slave on the Black Rock? How come the smoke monster's such a dick? Who knows if Lost will provide satisfying answers by its May finale (so far I'm hopeful), but one thing is clear: it's finally coming to an end. Happily, I'll be there every step of the way.
Sterling McGarvey, Tailie: I have never watched an episode of Lost in my life, but I think Steve Johnson is crazy. I may not know why that dude keeps screaming "Walt" or why my former co-workers kept talking about that and The Black Smoke, but I'd never skip a season of a heavily serialized show then expect to know what's happening when I come back. It'd be like watching two seasons of The Wire then asking why Baltimore schools are messed up and why this Marlo Stanfield character is so angry. Get thee to Instant Queue, Mr. Johnson, and stat.
Eric Eckstein, Hostile: Ugh.
What did you guys think of the show?

Two years after the shooting of Pamula Mullins, Berkeley police are still looking for clues to her killing
Cathy White has never forgotten the last phone conversation she had with her younger sister, Pamula Mullins.
It was the evening of Dec. 4, 2012. The two sisters were discussing what each would make for Christmas dinner. Mullins offered to make her "messy" salad – a salad chock full of things other than lettuce – and White was gently trying to talk her out of it. Unbeknownst to Mullins, no-one in the family really liked her salad, but they were too polite to tell her that directly.
After a good laugh — the two sisters were very close — Mullins said she had to get off the phone to go to the store.
That was the last time White talked to her sister. … Continue reading »
Shooting of bicyclist Pam Mullins in Berkeley not random
The shooting of 50-year-old Pam Mullins as she was riding her bike on Sacramento Street on Dec. 4 was a targeted attack and not a random killing, according to authorities.
Mullins was not the victim of a bullet gone astray, but someone who was intentionally targeted, said Officer Jennifer Coats, police spokeswoman.
Police declined to discuss why Mullins, an in-home health worker, might be the target of an attack. While she had lived in Berkeley for many years, she had moved into an apartment on Sacramento Street near Ward — about a block from the shooting — just a few weeks before her death, according to family members. … Continue reading »
Few clues in Berkeley's fourth homicide of 2012
The family of Pam Mullins, who was shot dead Tuesday night while riding her bicycle on Sacramento Street, honored her memory by setting up a street memorial – and insisting she was not involved with drugs or gangs.
"We put the vigil up here to let people know she had a family," said Mullins' 26-year old niece Elexis Norris, who lives in San Leandro. "She ain't alone. She had a family. That's why we are out here."
Norris, her first cousin Danielle Easley, 24, and some of Mullins' six siblings attached a stuffed teddy bear and some balloons to a chain link fence that surrounds the field at Longfellow Middle School on Wednesday night. They set out tea lights to spell "Pam." … Continue reading »
Sacramento Street neighbors reel from latest shooting
Update, 6:44 p.m.: The Berkeley Police Department has confirmed the identity of shooting victim Pamela Mullins, 50, of Berkeley. Mullins was killed in the 2700 block of Sacramento Street. According to a written statement released at 6:28 p.m.: "BPD detectives are continuing to work hard to gather information and determine a motive for this incident."
Update, 5 p.m.: The Oakland Tribune is reporting that the shooting victim was 50-year-old Pam Mullins and that she died about 100 feet from her home. Cathy White of Oakland, who told the Tribune she was Mullins' sister, said Mullins often rode her bike to and from her job as a caregiver, that she lived alone and had recently moved into the apartment.
Original story: The only signs Wednesday morning that a woman was gunned down Tuesday night as she rode her bicycle near Longfellow Middle School was a piece of yellow caution tape flapping in the wind, and three television news vans.
Otherwise it seemed like an average, if rainy, morning. Trucks delivered food to the school cafeteria, parents dropped off students, and stragglers rushed through the rain to make their early classes.
A woman who lives near the corner of Derby and Sacramento streets said she had heard what sounded like a shot Tuesday night but did not know a murder had occurred until she bundled her young son off to school in the morning. … Continue reading »
Female bicyclist shot and killed on Derby Street
This story was updated at 10:42 a.m. See the updated post here. The original story appears below.
A woman was shot and killed Tuesday night while riding her bike in the 1500 block of Derby Street, according to Berkeley police.
Police received a 911 call at 11:36 p.m. that a bicyclist was on the ground near Longfellow Middle School, possibly because of a traffic accident, said Officer Jennifer Coats. When police arrived, they found a woman in her late 40s or early 50s on the ground. She had been shot and was unresponsive, said Coats. Berkeley Fire Department paramedics arrived and pronounced her dead at the scene.
Police are not releasing the victim's name at this time. … Continue reading »

The World Of Signage Photo Contest: Join In and Win a Digital SLR Camera!
- By Vitaly Friedman
- August 16th, 2010
- 172 Comments
Update: the results of the contest are published1 now.
This one's easy: take a shot, send us the image and win a Canon EOS Digital Rebel XS digital SLR camera. Typography and icons are everywhere: they surround us, guide us, help us find the right path every day. As Web designers and graphic artists, we can learn from observing the type and public signage around us. How do designers of those graphics combine type, visual design and pictograms? How do they guide us through our day? More importantly, how do they design their graphics to meaningfully serve their purpose in particular settings?
That's what we want to find out with this photo contest. We encourage you to go out with your camera, shoot nice typography or public signage, and send the photo (or photos) to us (see details below). And the best part: everyone can participate.
What Are We Looking For? Link
We are looking for original, manually shot photographs of typography and public signage. The most obvious elements that come to mind are street signs, building facades, highway markers and road signs, as well as wayfinding graphics (i.e. directional signage) in public venues such as stadiums, malls, museums, cinemas, theaters and cafés. Bus stop signs, underground signs, park signs, metro signage, hospital room signs, conference, hotel and office signs, emergency and exit signs and signs in shops and stores would work, too. Look around, pay attention and have a camera ready. That's really all you need!
At Amsterdam's Schiphol Airport, numbers in each terminal's letter indicate the walking time. Simple yet beautiful. (Image credit3.)
It would be nice to see signage in a variety of languages and in globally diverse locations. We're hoping to find similarities that communicate visually across cultures. Please feel free to submit unusual and humorous signs as well! Check out examples of what we're looking for4 to get your creative juices flowing.

The Prize Link
The camera below can be yours. One participant in this contest will win this best-selling digital SLR camera, the Canon EOS Digital Rebel XS (EOS 1000D)7, with a 10.1 megapixel CMOS sensor, high-precision 7-point wide-area autofocus sensor, and an Image Stabilizer-equipped EF-S 18–55mm f/3.5–5.6 IS Lens. The winner will be chosen randomly from among
all accepted submissions best accepted submissions (among 30 — 50 best submissions, depending on the number of submissions).
Specifications Link
- Format: JPG
- All photos should have a width of at least 700 pixels.
- All photos should be of high quality and shouldn't have any artefacts (e.g. they shouldn't be blurry).
- The total file size of your submission should not exceed 15 MB.
- Each participant can send at most three photos.
Submission Guidelines Link
- Please download the starter kit9 first.
- The starter kit folder contains a plain-text file,
details.txt. Please edit it by adding details about your submission.
- Name your photos meaningfully, and don't use empty spaces or special characters (e.g. shining-airport-signage.jpg instead of DSC0815378.jpg).
- Please add your photo (or photos) to the folder. Do not include any advertisements.
- With your images in the folder, archive the folder as a ZIP file. The file should have a clear name (e.g. shining-airport-signage.zip).
- Please send your submission to… The contest is over. No more submissions are accepted.
- Please note: submissions will be processed automatically. Please make sure your submission follows the requirements above, otherwise it will not be processed.
Copyright, Labels, Watermarks Link
Embedding copyright information, a watermark or URL in a photo will spoil it; please avoid adding anything that isn't a part of the image itself. Participants should own the copyright of any photos they send. You can specify the license under which you want your image(s) to be released using the starter kit. Photos should not be already available elsewhere on the Web.
Deadline and Announcement Link
Send us your photos by 27 August 2010. The winner will be announced a few days after. We will present all interesting photos here on Smashing Magazine, including the names and URLs of the participants chosen, of course. If we get enough submissions, we will sort and categorize the photos in the article.
This contest is all about creativity, so get out your camera and start shooting. Good signage doesn't necessarily have to be "clean." On the contrary, some beautiful and original examples can be found where nobody bothers to look. Just be curious, and take a closer look around you. You may want to look at these articles for ideas: Vintage and Retro Typography Showcase10 and Showcase Of Beautiful Vintage and Retro Signage11.
Good luck, and get creative, folks!

This gorgeous chick named, Madelyn Monroe came in today to get her first EVER massage! I tried to contain my excitment but this was too good!! I could literally see her beautiful, soft lips sucking on my hard cock. I didn't want to get ahead of myself, so I played it cool so she wouldn't suspect a thing. She told me that her boyfriend bought her the massage as a graduation present, from HIGH SCHOOL! She just turned 18 and, I thought my luck couldn't get any better until… Here are the pictures from this scene.
Another day, another set of weak business proposals for the investors on the hit Reality TV show "Time to Prove Yourself" to shoot down. But then Madelyn Monroe arrived to pitch her brand-new invention: a pleasure bud uniquely adapted to please any woman who stuffs it in her pussy. Nothing caught the judges' attention like the moment Madelyn peeled up her skirt and showed off her big thick ass, then slid her new sex toy right up her butt. Click here for the pictures from this scene..

Zoey Monroe wants to let her boyfriend fuck her ass, but her virgin asshole is so tight that she's worried she won't be able to handle it! Lucky for her, her sexy BFF Zoey Monroe is ready and willing to help her prepare for the night of her life! Zoey starts by fucking Madelyn's ass with a dildo, and then her boyfriend Mick Blue comes in to lend a helping hand too. Click here for the pictures from this scene..

Madelyn's just gotta say what she feels. So when she called out her mom for dating black guys who hump and dump her, she ended up with Jovan paying a private visit to her bedroom to "bond" with her. All Madelyn Monroe wanted to hear though is how many inches he's packing in his pants.

When you see your big chance, you have to grab it with both hands. Homeless dude Erik is chilling in a cafe, when his wildest fantasy Madelyn Monroe walks in the front door. If he wants to bang this rich bitch, he's going to have to think fast and hope he can convince her he's really a Hollywood actor in disguise.
Here are the pictures from this scene.

"What's wrong with Madelyn Monroe? The first time she talked with Mister POV, Madely spoke about what makes a girl do porn? If you search my channel, you'll find the interview. It's an interesting one for sure! Today, Mister POV and Madelyn discuss why poor Madelyn can't get laid. Why she can't get a date. Why she can't have a "normal" relationship. We also talk about celebrities she has banged…among other things."
