What GAO Found
GAO found in 2012 that government-wide real property data were not sufficiently reliable to support sound management and decision making about excess and underutilized property. The Federal Real Property Council (FRPC) had not ensured that key data elements of the Federal Real Property Profile (FRPP) were defined and reported consistently and accurately. For example, FRPP data did not accurately describe the properties at 23 of the 26 locations GAO visited, often overstating the condition and annual operating costs of buildings. GAO recommended that the General Services Administration (GSA), in consultation with FRPC, develop a plan to improve the FRPP. Consequently, GSA developed an action plan and was scheduled to complete these changes by June 2013. GAO is determining whether these actions improve FRPP consistency and reliability and plans to report the results as part of GAO's 2015 high risk update.
In 2014, GAO found that incorrect and inconsistent data on federal structures such as roads, bridges, railroads, and utility systems, limited the value of the government-wide FRPP data. For example, agencies GAO reviewed defined structures differently leading to inconsistencies. GAO recommended that GSA, in coordination with FRPC, clarify the definition of structures and assess the feasibility of limiting the data on structures submitted to the FRPP. GSA provided an action plan in December 2013 to implement GAO's recommendations, but no timeframe was provided for when the proposed actions would be completed.
In a 2014 report, GAO found that civilian agencies followed most leading practices in managing their facility maintenance and repair backlogs, except for transparent reporting about the funding amounts agencies are spending to maintain their assets and manage their backlogs. Different agency financial reporting requirements as well as FRPP reporting guidance did not require a specific process for determining deferred maintenance and repair backlogs, and agencies could use their existing processes. Thus, GAO recommended that OMB, in collaboration with agencies, collect and report information on agencies' costs for annual maintenance and repair performed and funding spent to manage their existing backlogs. OMB and FRPC agencies have taken actions to improve management of deferred maintenance, including working to refine FRPP data, but have not yet fully implemented GAO's recommendation.
In a 2013 review of selected agencies' reporting of real property cost savings data, GAO identified several challenges that reduced the reliability and transparency of the data the government reported. For example, OMB did not require agencies to provide detailed documentation of their reported savings or include specific information about agencies' reported savings on Performance.gov, limiting transparency. Furthermore, guidance issued by OMB was not clear on the types of savings that could be reported, particularly because the term "cost savings" was not clearly defined. GAO recommended that OMB establish clear and specific standards to help ensure reliability and transparency in the reporting of future real-property cost savings. OMB generally agreed with the recommendation. GAO is determining the extent to which OMB has implemented it and GAO plans to report the results as part of GAO's 2015 high risk update.
Why GAO Did This Study
The federal real property portfolio, comprising approximately 900,000 buildings and structures and worth billions of dollars, presents several key management challenges. GAO has designated federal real property management as a high risk issue since 2003 due to long-standing challenges including unreliable data on this property, excess and underutilized property, over-reliance on leasing, and challenges with security. Since then, the federal government has given high-level attention to reforming real property management and has made some progress. It established the FRPC, chaired by OMB, in 2004. The FRPC created the FRPP, which is intended to be a comprehensive database developed for describing the nature, use, and extent of all real property under the custody and control of executive branch agencies. The FRPP is managed by GSA and began collecting data in 2005. GAO's recent work has found, however, that data problems related to federal real property have continued.
This statement discusses data guidance and reliability issues GAO has found regarding federal civilian agencies' data on: (1) excess and underutilized property, (2) structures, (3) maintenance backlogs, and (4) cost saving estimates. It is based on previous GAO reports on federal real property issued from June 2012 through January 2014 and some updates on the status of recommendations made in those reports. To obtain these updates, GAO monitored agency actions taken and performed follow-up with agency officials.

kNOw asbestos
Asbestos is a known carcinogen and exposure to asbestos fibres can increase your risk of developing an asbestos-related disease, including cancer.
What is asbestos?
Asbestos is the name given to a group of naturally occurring fibrous minerals (chrysotile, crocidolite, amosite, anthophyllite, tremolite and actinolite),[1] which have excellent durability, fire resistance and insulating properties.[2] Because of these properties, asbestos was used in a very wide variety of products. It is thought to have over 3000 uses worldwide.[2]
Asbestos in Australia
In Australia, asbestos was mined and imported for use in the manufacture of a range of building products and other materials. During this time, Australia was one of the highest users, per capita, of asbestos. The two main mining operations were at Woodsreef NSW, where chrysotile (white asbestos) was mined until 1983, and Wittenoom WA, where crocidolite (blue asbestos) was mined until 1966. Smaller asbestos mines also operated in Tasmania and South Australia.
Asbestos-containing materials were manufactured and imported into Australia in vast quantities. The majority of these (~90%) were building materials, mainly asbestos cement products such as 'fibro' sheets/board or cement pipe. Asbestos was also used in other products such as insulation (lagging, loose fill or spray insulation), automotive parts (brake pads, clutch linings), floor tiles (and their adhesives), roofing, textiles (blankets, rope, wraps), expansion joints, joining putty, textured paints and many other products. Final production of products containing asbestos occurred in late 2003, when production of automotive friction parts which contained asbestos was ceased.
Many workers were required to install or work with asbestos-containing materials through the course of their employment. Many of these asbestos-containing materials still remain in place in workplaces and homes throughout Australia. It is reported that approximately one third of all Australian homes built or renovated before 1990 contain asbestos products.[3]
Due to the known health risks associated with asbestos, a national ban on asbestos, and all products containing asbestos, their use, importation, storage, sale, supply, or installation (except for disposal purposes) came into effect on 31 December 2003 throughout Australia. Asbestos is still mined in a number of countries and used to manufacture asbestos-containing products; however, these cannot be imported into Australia.
What makes asbestos dangerous?
All forms of asbestos occur as fibrous bundles that can be continuously separated down to individual fibres of microscopic dimensions including less than 1 micrometre in length. In comparison, they can be 50 to 200 times thinner than a human hair. At such small sizes they are invisible to the naked eye, are able to remain airborne for long periods once released and can travel in air currents.
Because of their microscopic size, asbestos fibres can be easily inhaled and can become trapped in the lungs. Once there, it is hard for your body to remove the fibres through natural processes and they can cause damage over a long period of time. Asbestos fibres can also be ingested by swallowing fibres, but this is less common.
Asbestos fibres can be found in the air from the breakdown of natural asbestos deposits and manufactured asbestos-containing materials. Fibres are mainly released when people work with or remove asbestos-containing material without taking proper precautions.
Asbestos-containing materials are broadly categorised into two groups:
• Bonded (non-friable) asbestos materials are made up of a bonding agent (such as cement) with asbestos added to give strength and fire resistance; and
• Friable (loosely bound) asbestos materials are those which can be crumbled, pulverized or reduced to powder by hand pressure and also includes broken, damaged or weathered bonded asbestos products.
Friable asbestos-containing materials are dangerous because the asbestos fibres can easily get into the air and may be inhaled by people living or working nearby. Friable materials can contain high levels of asbestos (up to 100% in some instances). Bonded materials usually contain a smaller proportion of asbestos (usually less than 15%). If bonded materials are in good condition, they normally do not release any fibres unless disturbed (i.e. if you use power tools to drill into them); however, bonded asbestos materials that are damaged or badly weathered, may become friable.
Health risks associated with asbestos
When asbestos fibres are breathed in, they may remain deep within the lungs. They can lodge in lung tissue and cause inflammation, scarring and some more serious asbestos-related diseases, which usually take many years, if not decades, to develop. There are reports which have stated that some types of asbestos are safer than others (i.e. chrysotile vs. amphibole classes); however, all types of asbestos are dangerous.
Exposure to asbestos can increase the risk of developing chronic (long-term) health problems, including asbestosis and benign pleural abnormalities, and an increased risk of a number of cancers including lung, mesothelioma, ovarian and larynx.[2-5]
Risk factors for developing asbestos related diseases
There are many factors that increase a person's risk of developing an asbestos-related disease, including the:[2,6,7]
• Length of time a person is exposed to airborne asbestos
• Concentration or levels of asbestos fibres in the air breathed
• Frequency of exposure to asbestos fibres
• Time since exposure occurred
• Age at which exposure occurred
• Type and size distribution of asbestos fibres
• Exposed individual's susceptibility
• Tobacco smoking history of the exposed person (i.e. current or previous smoker)
How do I avoid exposure to asbestos?
In the workplace
Asbestos-containing materials were used in a wide variety of commercial and industrial products. It was commonly used for insulation materials, automotive parts, expansion joints and construction materials. If there is a possibility that you might be exposed to asbestos at work, such as during renovating old buildings (pre-1990 construction), working on mobile equipment or plant (pre-2003 models) or working in a high risk occupation, you should always use the proper personal protective equipment, work practices and safe work procedures designed for work around asbestos. WorkSafe WA designates specific safe work practices that must be followed to control the risk of exposure to asbestos in the workplace. If you have concerns about exposure to asbestos in your workplace you should contact your work supervisor, health and safety representative, union representative or WorkSafe WA.
In the home
To minimise your risk of exposure to asbestos at home, it is important for homeowners to identify if and where any asbestos-containing products were used within their home (you should also consider any structural additions, sheds, outhouses or fences on your property as well). Some asbestos-containing products are easy to recognise, although others are not. Asbestos-containing materials may be covered up by other products, painted, look similar to non-asbestos products or may be in places you don't think to look.
As a general guide, if your home was built or renovated:
|Before the mid 1980's
|It is very likely to contain asbestos-containing materials
|Mid 1980's to 1990
|It is likely to contain asbestos-containing materials
|After 1990
|It is unlikely to contain asbestos-containing materials
Note: automotive friction parts containing asbestos did not cease production in Australia until 2003.
You shouldn't always rely on dates or visual inspections to verify the presence of asbestos. If you are unsure if a material in your home contains asbestos, you should always treat it as though it does contain asbestos. The only sure way to verify if a material in your home contains asbestos is to have a sample of it tested at an accredited laboratory. You can find an accredited laboratory by visiting the National Association of Testing Authorities (NATA) website or call 1800 621 666.
Homeowners may be exposed to asbestos fibres during accidental damage to asbestos-containing materials in the home, or as a result of the unsafe handling of asbestos-containing material (such as cutting materials with power tools or washing them with high pressure sprays), either by tradespeople or by the homeowners themselves (during DIY home renovations). Fibres may also be released from asbestos-containing materials which have been damaged by storms or fire, or weathered over long periods of time.
Home renovations
If you are planning to do a home renovation, you should always think asbestos.
It is important that you know about the potential health risks of asbestos and the safety precautions required before renovating a house that may contain asbestos. Removing asbestos safely can be a complicated process. For this reason it is best carried out by licensed professionals who have completed relevant training. If you are considering a renovation that may involve you working with asbestos-containing material in your home take the time to complete the free kNOW asbestos in your home online eLearning module. This module will provide invaluable information about how to identify asbestos, understand the risks, and develop safe work practices when working with or removing small amounts of asbestos-containing materials.
Asbestos at work
Many asbestos-containing materials still remain in place throughout Australia. Tradespeople such as painters, electricians and builders are still at risk of exposure to the asbestos fibres in these materials.
Information about asbestos in the workplace, employers legal obligations and what you can do to reduce your risk of developing an asbestos related cancer will be available here shortly.

Deciding on the perfect life insurance policy can be an intimidating task. If you choose the wrong plan, your family might not have as much financial security in the event of your demise. Fortunately, this article contains enough tips to give you a good idea of what to look for when shopping for life insurance.
When considering life insurance, be sure to look outside what your employer provides. While this may be easier and you may assume they are providing what is best for you, it is not always the case. Make sure that they rates and coverage are competitive or better than other offers that you could go with.
If you are considering purchasing life insurance you may want to look into possible coverage that is already offered by your employer. It's common for employers to offer basic life insurance plans at good rates for their employees. You should make sure that the coverage is adaquate for your needs and purchase supplemental policies if additional coverage is desired.
If you are between the ages of 20 to 50, term life insurance is the simplest and most effective type of insurance. Cash value insurance truly makes sense for those who are wealthy and over the age of 50. A cash value plan may be tempting, but it won't be as effective.
Don't rely on the life insurance plans provided by your employer. The coverage provided by the group term life insurance plans that many employers take out may not meet all your life insurance needs. Also, if you quit your job, you usually can't take your life insurance policy with you.
Life insurance comes in many different variations that can fit just about any budget. Once you know the amount of coverage you need, decide whether you want insurance that provides permanent coverage, or just need term insurance to cover you until large expenses are paid off. Once debts are gone and the kids move out, you may decide to self-insure and won't need life insurance coverage anymore.
If you are working with an advisor to get cheap life insurance, and this person is not fitting your needs, it is important to know that you are able to look for another one. You want to make sure you are working with an experienced, knowledgeable advisor who is looking out for your best interests.
Most life insurance companies require you to take a medical exam before they give you coverage. They look at blood pressure, cholesterol levels, an EKG of your heart rate activity, and many other indicators that reveal the presence of any type of disease or risk factors. You can perform better on the test, even put yourself into a higher rate class, by eating low-fat foods for the two days before your test. Drink extra water to maintain hydration, and avoid alcohol for three to four days ahead of the test. Also, make sure you get plenty of sleep for the week leading up to the exam.
Many people research life insurance on the internet to learn more about the different types of policies that are available and which one would be right for them. However, much of this information is posted by insurance companies or internet marketers that may try to steer you toward a policy that is most profitable for them. Try to conduct your research on unbiased websites such as Publications.USA.gov, which is hosted by the Federal Citizen Information Center, a U.S. government service, or AARP.org., a non-profit organization catering to people over 50 years of age.
Consider your current health when purchasing a life insurance policy. It is less expensive to purchase life insurance at a younger age and when in good health than later in life. Often, even if you experience health problems later, your life insurance is not impacted if it has already been in place. Trying to buy a policy after a health problem can be much more expensive, if not impossible.
Make sure you have detailed health history information with you when you go for your life insurance medical examination. Often, you must provide details about prior surgeries, accidents, medication and dosage, existing conditions or other medical conditions. Having the information on hand makes the process quicker and simpler both for you and the examiner.
Consider the cost of child care in your life insurance coverage. If only one spouse is working while the other takes care of the children, consider how this would change if one of you died. The other spouse would have to continue or return to work, which means you will need to pay for childcare.
You now have a general idea of how to determine the best life insurance policy for the needs of you and your loved ones. Finding a great policy is easy when you know what to look for. After utilizing the tips from this article, you will surely find a satisfying life insurance plan and put your mind at ease.

BSc (Hons) MedicineA100
Studying in a faculty
The University has four faculties and each course leading to a degree is administered by one of these faculties. You will belong to the same faculty throughout your time with us and most of the subjects you study will be offered by schools or departments within this faculty. Admission to the BSc (Hons) Medicine programme of study is through the Faculty of Medicine.
The programme details of this course are provided by:
School of Medicine: The School of Medicine has approximately 480 undergraduate students. The School employs excellent teaching staff who, with many other NHS staff, teach medical science, clinical skills, communication skills, medical ethics, public health medicine and health psychology. The School of Medicine is located in our award-winning Medical and Biological Sciences Building which provides first-class facilities to support our externally recognised high quality approach to teaching.
Distinctive features of this course
Within the degree programme you will study in a learning environment which integrates a professional training with a sound knowledge of the scientific basis of medicine. The clinical relevance of the medical sciences is emphasized throughout and observed through appropriate early clinical experience in the community. From the outset, the foundations are laid for developing good communication and clinical skills. This approach, coupled with the experience of preparing a research-based Honours dissertation, produces graduates who not only appreciate the art of medicine but also recognize the important contribution that science and scientific research makes to the practice of medicine. This integrated approach focuses on achieving the following outcomes: COMPETENCE - understanding of the scientific basis of medicine, PROFESSIONALISM - developing clinical skills, professional attitudes, personal values and ethical awareness, REFLECTION - monitoring self-awareness and decision making through the completion of portfolio, INDEPENDENCE - encouragement of self-directed learning. The content of our curriculum is informed by reference to the GMC guidelines published in Tomorrow Doctors and our membership of the Scottish Deans Medical & Education Group (SDMEG), which has produced an agreed set of outcomes clearly defining the qualities and abilities of medical graduates from the Scottish medical schools.
Course content
Programme details
You will be able to choose modules from our course catalogue which is published annually as module availability can change from year to year. As a Single Honours student you will gain more than three-quarters of your Honours years credits in a single subject area.
Learning and teaching at St Andrews
Our approach to Learning and Teaching is a little like the University itself: a mix of very traditional and very new. In every subject, we take care to cover all the bases, on the one hand familiarising our students with the knowledge and theories that are essential to understanding of the discipline; and on the other, giving you a chance wherever possible to develop practical uses for the expertise you acquire. From this starting-point, we expect our students increasingly to design their own studies, by selecting options and undertaking research-based activities that they devise by themselves, with support from academic staff.
Students put together their programme of studies by selecting a combination of compulsory and optional modules from our Course Catalogue. The Catalogue describes each module and gives information about the learning, teaching and assessment methods used.
We know that every student has a slightly different way of learning so, while we make use of some tried-and-tested methods that we believe should be part of any good university education, we also have a wide variety of complementary approaches that will enrich your experience and ensure there is an approach that suits.
Lectures and seminars / tutorials
Most subjects use lectures, especially in the first two years, referred to as sub-Honours. Students can use their first two years to discover their own specific strengths before finalising their Degree intentions at Honours level. Lectures are a good way to ensure everyone in the class receives the same key information, and they help students develop note-taking and summarising skills. The material covered in lectures is generally followed up in smaller seminar groups (15-20 or so students) or tutorials (5-10 or so), where there might be a structured open discussion, a general debate, a presentation by students, or a series of questions, exercises or examples to be worked through with the tutor. Owing to the relatively small undergraduate student body in comparison to some universities, St Andrews is in the enviable position of offering small group teaching in many subjects.
In addition to lectures and seminars or tutorials, some subjects require laboratory sessions. These take place in custom-designed labs, where students carry out practical tasks, following a programme of work devised by their lecturers and directed by experts during the session. Labs allow you to put theoretical knowledge into practice, perfect your skills and develop into competent, well-trained and highly-skilled specialists. Lab sessions are not just for science: Economics, Modern Languages and others use them too.
Other learning and teaching activities
One to one
Some academic Schools also offer 'surgery' hours, where students can drop in to speak with a tutor about a particular module. Our welcoming environment and relatively small size allow students to approach individual tutors for assistance in this way or via email.
Learning in the field
Many subjects include compulsory or optional fieldwork from an early stage. Students may investigate a site of particular scientific, historical, artistic or cultural interest; or they may carry out experiments or surveys by observing or interviewing the occupants of a particular location.
Learning from each other
Not all learning takes place in the physical presence of the tutor, of course. We also arrange student-led tutorials (real or virtual) in which students drive the discussion. And although we are an ancient university, our state-of-the-art facilities support learning through blogs, chat-rooms, podcasts, project forums, wikis and other forms of collaborative and independent learning.
Extra is included
Extra-curricular lectures and seminars in every School are open to students. Some student societies are linked to academic Departments and are an excellent way to expand understanding and appreciation of the subject. Societies organise talks, social events and other informal activities to support learning.
Internships and work experience are available in some areas as part of the degree programme, whether simulated or real: Medicine, for example, places emphasis on simulated doctor-patient consultations, while teaching abroad placements are routinely available in Modern Languages With Integrated Year Abroad. Competitive extra-curricular summer research internships, paid for by the University, are available in all subjects to supplement scheduled learning and teaching.
In the final year, a flagship module, distinctive to St Andrews, allows selected students to obtain credits for teaching their subject of study in local schools, under the joint supervision of a teacher and a university academic. The Careers Centre supports students arranging their own vacation internships for work experience.
Our Careers Centre – the most used of the top 30 universities in the UK – supports students arranging their own vacation internships for work experience. Our students are in the top 5 UK universities for both the proportion who have had internships and for the length of those internships.
Further personal and professional development opportunities are available, for example through the St Andrews Award, administered by the Careers Centre; and the Certificate in Professional Skills run by the Centre for Academic, Professional and Organisational Development.
Individual and group work
As students progress through their programme, they are expected to undertake work in groups or pairs. This is a good way of sharing work in order to learn more about the subject; but learning to be part of a team is also a key skill for employment and life in a community.
At the same time, one of our chief aims at St Andrews is to enable students to become increasingly self-reliant, not only in the intellectual questions they ask and answers they give, but also in the way they manage their time, organise their work and achieve the high standards of professionalism prized by employers. Students are therefore expected to conduct much of their work alone, and the Honours project or dissertation in particular is the culmination of independent thinking and personal development: in this, a student selects a topic, defines a question, conducts the research necessary to explore it thoroughly and according to the norms of their discipline, and writes up the results of their enquiries. All this is done with readily available support and guidance from academic staff – but the burden of work, and the ultimate achievement, is entirely the student's own. Thus we support a gradual departure from a typical school or college environment where structures and schedules prevail, to a more scholarly approach where interaction is focused on support for autonomous learning, exchanging ideas and stimulating thinking.
Workload, preparation and follow-up for learning and teaching
Like other universities, we expect full-time students to put in a full week's work on their studies, split between scheduled classes and private study. As a guide, each credit earned should be the result of about 10 hours' work, so a full year's credit load (120 credits) represents 1,200 hours of concentration and hard work.
To get the most out of your studies, you need to prepare carefully for every class you attend, and to follow it up afterwards, whatever its nature. You may be asked to look carefully at specific material; in addition, you should independently use learning resources like the Library to 'read around' the subject, fill gaps in your knowledge and understanding, check the reliability of information you have discovered and feel confident that you have grasped what is being taught.
To help in this, module booklets are given out in advance, clearly showing the programme of study and assessment involved. Bibliographies of extra reading are provided at the start; further recommendations may be given during class, depending on what comes up. Many tutors post material on the web; others may conduct short 'refresher' tests during the class itself to check that everyone has reached the necessary level of understanding.
Some subjects require a high percentage of scheduled learning hours, for example because a student can only make progress by attending a laboratory, or carrying out supervised fieldwork. In other subject areas, a large amount of individual reading or practice is the only way to ensure adequate learning. In both cases, students must quickly develop time management skills to enable efficient use of the full-time study week.
How you will be assessed
We use a combination of coursework and examinations.
Coursework is assessed in the course of the semester, and may have various purposes: an essay, for example, allows for mature reflection and relatively long, exploratory treatment of a question; a lab report demonstrates ability to summarise actions and draw effective analytical conclusions, while acquiring the discipline of systematic note-taking; a short class test may be used to check levels of understanding or knowledge. Group activities may be assessed: in this case marking methods will be communicated to you in advance.
Examinations generally test knowledge, recall, analytical power and accuracy under pressure of time. A few subjects set 'take-home' examinations, assessing ability to produce high-calibre work to a tight deadline, while allowing access to the full range of resources. Most of our examinations are held at the end of the semester during a dedicated exam diet; revision time is provided beforehand. Only a few subjects use oral examinations, specifically the Modern Languages, to test oral proficiency, and some Honours projects where a viva voce discussion with examiners complements a written submission.
We regard all assessment as formative: this means that you can receive feedback on every assessment, with a view to improving your performance in future.

How to say thank you to you, friends…?
It's been one year; a year ago today that I stepped off the train marked Gerson Therapy.
I who'd climbed on "incurable", and disembarked greatly healed owe a debt of real gratitude to the many who prayed, who encouraged, who supported in gifts and friendship.
I'm walking, sitting, standing, sleeping undisturbed. There's so much to tell you about what went on this last year; of the things that have never yet crossed a page, but will someday. Of the pain that's been repealed, never to return, and of the faith that's been born of obeying and seeing God perform what He promised. These have been indescribable days; days of healing.
May I never forget what's happened.
To that end, God has left me a little chip of an Ebenezer of pain; a reminder of the land from which I've been delivered. Every now and then it taps me and asks me to look and remember the captivity from which I came. I live in a freed body now. And a freed soul. That was not always the case.
So, today, it would be an awful shame if I let it get it away without stopping to say thanks to the Lord first and loudest; and then to you, to my husband, to the Gerson Institute. So many helped to save me; to give me relief. There's more about this coming, but today is not a day for telling tales; it's one to stand beaming with awe, to remember the miracle: the impending disaster, and how God swooped in to save; to bow my head and give Him greatest thanks.
You, oh God, are a God of strength and a God of tenderness- strong to save; tender to want to.
May we always believe it.

Twirling towards freedom: the US election - New York primaries
In the endurance test that is the 2016 US presidential election, we finally come to New York State where all of the polling stations are now open. The state consists of not only the city famed for fine dining but also the mainly rural upstate region. There's a lot of delegates here; Ballotpedia has information about the Democratic and Republican allocations. Since last time, Paul said "Nope", GOP leaders said "Meh" followed by "Rules?", Washington Democrats had their own local endurance test, Virgin Islands Republicans had an unpleasant meeting, Bernie visited the Vatican, Hillary visited Staten Island (as did Donald), the Democratic candidates debated, Donald is figuring out West Virginia, Ted appears very conservative, and a grumpy John is aiming for second.

"Is There Anybody In The World Who Is On My Side?"
"After surviving one of the most high-profile and long-running school sex abuse scandals in history, a group of 32 men and women banded together to seek solace and justice — only to find that public outrage, a star attorney, and overwhelming evidence are no match for a legal process stacked against even the most privileged or traumatized." - Sam Roudman

What Happens When Low Wage Workers Suddenly Get a Living Wage?
The other night I was on the train coming home and there was this young girl with three young children, and she had a container of milk, and I heard the middle child of the three ask, "Mom, can I have some milk?" and the mother said, "No, you know we need it for the baby."

"Founded in 1912 as a farm colony of Brooklyn State Hospital, the Creedmoor Psychiatric Center in Queens [New York] became, by mid-century, a world unto itself. At its peak, it housed some 7,000 patients. They tended gardens and raised livestock on the hospital's grounds. The hospital contained gymnasiums, a swimming pool, a theater, a television studio, and giant kitchens and laundries where patients were put to work. Today, Creedmoor, still run by the New York State Office of Mental Health, has only a few hundred patients" and houses The Living Museum, an 'art asylum within an asylum' where patients can create and exhibit their art. But what is life like inside the institution itself? In 2010, Katherine B. Olsen spent weeks interviewing staff and patients. Her essay, published this week, 'Something More Wrong' takes us inside Creedmoor's women's ward. [more inside]

"Magna est veritas et praevalet"
Last June, the New York Times published an exposé of New York's exclusive Horace Mann School, detailing decades of sexual abuse of students by their teachers. The revelations prompted additional accusations and lawsuits from former students, an all-but-useless investigation, an admission by one of the school's former teachers, and a response by the school to parents (pdf). But one person who escaped the Times' notice was former English teacher Robert Berman.
The longest sentence ever served in an American prison: 64 years.
William Blake has been held in solitary confinement at Elmira Correctional Facility in New York State for nearly 26 years, after he murdered a Sheriff's Deputy and wounded another in a failed escape attempt back in 1987. Sentenced to 77 years to life, he will be eligible for parole in 2064. But Blake has no chance of ever leaving prison alive, and almost no chance of ever leaving solitary — a fate he considers "a sentence worse than death." (Via) [more inside]

Dancers, going about daily life
"I was thinking about the recession and what that meant for talented people who may have lost their jobs. Are you still a dancer if you are not paid to perform? Or are you still a chef when you don't have a kitchen to cook in? It is about people who walk the streets with this incredible skill who could just advertise their ability any time they wanted.

"Democracy is stronger than this."
The Anti-Defamation League has been tracking religious extremism for several decades, including anti-Islamic violence in the United States after 9/11. Nonetheless, the organization joined right-wing opposition earlier this week to the construction of Cordoba House, a 13-story Muslim community center and mosque that may be built two blocks away from the site of the former World Trade Center. The ADL's alignment with calls for "refudiation" by Republican celebrities Sarah Palin and Newt Gingrich, along with other members of the GOP who are ramping up angry sentiments in voters during an election year, have puzzled and angered religious, political and cultural figures of various stripes, particularly within New York City itself.

stopping discrimination, part 5,394--Money Talks
"It's good policy and good business." NYC's Employees Retirement System (5 funds managing $78.6 billion in holdings) is targeting Fortune 500 companies to adopt policies that specifically bar discrimination based on sexual orientation. One of them, CSX Corp., didn't even wait for their shareholder meeting, but immediately amended their policy in response. These funds recently had great success after a decade-long battle with Cracker Barrel Restaurants--infamous for firing gay and lesbian employees because they don't "demonstrate normal heterosexual values." Here's wishing an especially happy holiday to employees of those companies that have stopped discriminating and hopes for many more to join in.

Complex funds are not always riskier, says UK's IMA
Complexity is not always equal to risk when it comes to funds aimed at retail investors, according to a director at the Investment Management Association, a trade body which represents the mainstream UK asset management industry.
Julie Patterson, director at the IMA, was responding to European Securities and Markets Authority guidelines on structured UCITS and exchange-traded funds using the UCITS wrapper. Earlier this year ESMA announced it was reviewing the sector because of the growing 'retailisation' of hedge funds (see earlier story).

Changed formula is no good! Questionable ingredients!
PurplePegasus发表于 Jan 09, 2009
They changed the formula on this and now it not only smells stronger (I have fragrance sensitivities) but also it doesn't work as an AHA like the original formula did. I have very dry skin (with oily combo) and this used to remove all the flakes and prep the skin nicely to absorb moisturizer. Now it doesn't. My skin is as dry after as it was before using it. This formula foams up more but doesn't do the job. Why did they have to change the formula!? On top of that many ingredients are questionable! If you can't pronounce it but they claim it comes from nature or coconut, you know it's been chemically altered/treated. Of course "everything" comes from nature, even toxic chemicals and carcinogens: aliens didn't drop off a package on Earth full of "unnatural" ingredients! Disappointed in this company which was supposed to support environment and use wholesome ingredients. They fail in both counts! Ev

Reviewer1582777发表于 May 19, 2011
Good for oily skin, cleanses well but lightly, witout tightness afterwards. It's refershingly cleansing in the morning after my skin has got all greasy overnight. It's not cheap, but it isn't a ripoff.
The Best!
Reviewer3197558发表于 Apr 12, 2009
I've been using this cleanser for years. Nothing has ever cleansed my skin as well—the bonus is it shrinks my pores like nothing else I've tried. And, a little goes a long way. Love it!
ouch - strong stuff!
KaliMama发表于 Jan 03, 2011
I have combination skin which isn`t particularly sensitive, but this felt like a very strong formula. I was very excited about trying it after reading the reviews, and bought the scrub and enzyme mist from the same series. It ended up leaving my skin red and dried out. The only product that I like is the Enzyme mist, which isn`t all that impressive either, but does add a little moisture. The scrub didn`t remove the dry skin at all, rather seemed to MAKE my skin worse and flaky, combined with the cleanser. It is right that the cleanser lasts a long time, and does a good job at removing make-up, but it really dissapointed me and I`ll probably have to throw out the bottle as my skin improved again when I stopped using it. Not to mention, the bottled leaked and I had goey stuff all over. My mistake for using a plastic bag in case, but it definetly had something to do with the bottle as well
absolutely love it

Fantastic cleanser, doesn't leave your face dry,

Reviewer1578041发表于 Jul 10, 2009
I love all of MyChelle's products. My face feels really clean after using this. I was told once at a health coop that sold this product, that if you leave this cleanser on for a few minutes it acts like an exfoliator. I do that sometimes but prefer to use the Fruit enzyme skin peel product instead.
Loved the sample
Reviewer1999412发表于 Oct 14, 2009
so I ordered:) Refreshing scent that has nice cleansing properties. Works well as an eye makeup remover too so its nice to cleanse with one product, with the added bonus of knowing its toxin free. Only need to use a small amount as stated- spreads nicely, so its great value for money.
Smooth skin
Jennie发表于 Apr 01, 2013
I use this at night and my skin feels so smooth after washing it. Sometimes I even leave it on for a few minutes for a deeper cleaning. A little goes a long way so even though it's more expensive than what I would pay for a face soap, it will last me a long time. Added bonus, this is one of the gifts I chose when I won the $50 MyChelle shopping spree on iHerb's Facebook page. :D

"It Started Here." With great excitement, living history attraction Colonial Williamsburg spent more than a million dollars to put out its first-ever TV ad during the Super Bowl. The splurge may have backfired, as its use of footage of the World Trade Center towers falling on 9/11 to a Tom Brokaw voice-over angered and upset many in its target markets and puzzled plenty of others. Takes from Daily News, Esquire, Gothamist, USA Today, NY Post, Slate, HuffPo. [more inside]
Inertia, Not Progress Defines the Decade After 9/11
Coming Apart: After 9/11 transfixed America, the country's problems were left to rot. "No national consensus formed around 9/11. Indeed, the decade since has destroyed the very possibility of a common narrative."
The Rebuilding
The Memorial. "People talk a lot about the "healing process." Well, this is New York. In the aftermath of a tragedy of monumental proportions, the healing process has been noisy and rude, with elbows out, redolent of greed, power, and the darker forces that drive human existence. And most of the shouting has been about how to make a fitting monument to what happened here. But in a hundred years, all the shouting and all the politics will be forgotten. What will be remembered is what is built here, now, on these sixteen acres." [more inside]
Tora Bora: America's First Major Battle Of The Twenty-First Century
That afternoon, American signals operators picked up bin Laden speaking to his followers. Fury kept a careful log of these communications in his notebook, which he would type up at the end of every day and pass up his chain of command. "The time is now," bin Laden said. "Arm your women and children against the infidel!" Following several hours of high-intensity bombing, the Al Qaeda leader spoke again. Fury paraphrases: "Our prayers have not been answered. Times are dire. We didn't receive support from the apostate nations who call themselves our Muslim brothers." Bin Laden apologized to his men for having involved them in the fight and gave them permission to surrender.
The Saddam Sessions
Saddam's Confessions - Given Saddam Hussein's central place in the American Consciousness over the last couple decades and particularly in recent years, I found 60 minutes' interview with FBI interrogator George Piro pretty fascinating.
I'm Mad As Hell
Why is C-Span downplaying the 9/11 Hearings? I don't even get C-Span 3 with my cable company. Is this a pattern?
John Dean case for War in Iraq
John Dean's analysis of the administrations case for War. "What I found, in critically examining Bush's evidence, is not pretty. The African uranium matter is merely indicative of larger problems, and troubling questions of potential and widespread criminality when taking the nation to war. It appears that not only the Niger uranium hoax, but most everything else that Bush said about Saddam Hussein's weapons was false, fabricated, exaggerated, or phony."
September eleventh
September eleventh certainly is an anniversary, but of more than you might remember. Historical Hindsight is a short piece on why some events are remembered and others forgotten. "The things that get remembered serve a purpose. They have to do something relevant in the present."
Who started the crusades?
Who started the crusades? Catholic historian Thomas Madden argues that the crusades "were not the brainchild of an ambitious pope or rapacious knights but a response to more than four centuries of conquests in which Muslims had already captured two-thirds of the old Christian world." Given all the talk about the crusades in the wake of 9-11, an accurate understanding of the history seems important. But is this accurate or just Catholic revisionism?
News actuality from September 11th, 2001, from the Television Archive. Live coverage includes programming from ABC, BBC, CBC Newsworld, NBC, NTV Moscow, and China Central Television.
Chomsky on MSNBC talks about recent events! That would be news all by itself. I know that a lot of people on the right disagree with him, but who can argue with what he says here? Also from left field an incisive Q&A about Afghanistan history and the current situation by Tariq Ali.
From safety to where.
From safety to where. This article provides a great, in-depth look at the World Trade Center from an architectural standpoint. Beginning with its lead architect, a Japanese man who suffered himself from the racism of the WW2 era, it goes over the structure of the buildings and reasons why the center withstood the 1993 bombing -- and, for a while, the impacts of the two hijacked planes -- and what the future for New York and the businesses affected may hold. (Thanks to overmorgen for the link.)

Appeasement. Chamberlain sat at a table with Hitler in 1938 signing a treaty and proclaiming "peace for our time". Shortly after, World War II began. Killing innocent people does not solve the problem, but sitting at a table with your enemy and proclaiming peace (when he just wants to kill more) does no good either.
A thoughtful and fascinating analysis
A thoughtful and fascinating analysis of the historical backdrop to the current situation. Why did this happen, what circumstances got us into a de facto state of undeclared war with the Islamic world, and what can we realistically do to prevent those circumstances from ever recurring? --Charlie Stross

Charming Edwardian Black Glass Rosary – Canada
This very interesting Catholic rosary features glossy black glass beads that appear to be molded and feel smooth to the touch. They are mounted on silvered brass pins and oval link chain with similar S-hooks that attach the center medal and crucifix to the rosary. The styling is Edwardian although I believe this was crafted shortly thereafter in the 1920s.
The ornate center medal features profiles of Jesus and Mary set amid scrolls and radiances and a beautifully shaped cuff. Note the star and flowers around Mary and the Sacred Heart of Jesus... subtle and sweet. The medal appears to have a copper base that was silvered at one time. Devotional wear has revealed the copper yet the dark patina within the recesses of the design suggests the continued presence of the silver.
The equally ornate 2-layer crucifix is impressed with Gothic-style designs in each of the flared arms. Also silvered, much of the silver remains with hints of copper peeking through the corpus and INRI plaque. What I find most interesting is that the back of the crucifix is marked "Canada." For all the vintage and antique rosaries one can find in Canada, the vast majority are French, so this is unique indeed!
Whatever its provenance, this charming religious devotional is ideal for anyone who enjoys a "basic black" rosary whose lovely components make it anything but somber. In excellent vintage condition, it is ready to continue its life of prayer and inspire you with its beauty. Comes boxed and ready for gift-giving.
Weight – 24 grams
Length – 17 inches total; 6 inch drop
Beads – 5 ½ to 6 mm round
Cross – 1½ x 1-1/8 inches
Medal – 5/8 inches
Not suitable for wearing

Edies View In the story How I Met My Husband by Alice Munro I looked at the element of the narrator In this story the narrator wasnt hard to spot like some other stories Edie tells the story through insights on her feelings how she describes others in the story and her romances Throughout the story Edie experienced many different feelings from things that made her feel good to things that made her feel horrible She tells us that she loved being left alone in the house to do her work when she felt like it In this paragraph she also said how she loved the lighting in the kitchen and she loved the double sink Then she compares it to her life before at home and tells about the rag-plugged hole or an oil cloth-covered table by light of a coal-oil lamp p725 With this little bit of information we know that work at the Peebles is a lot easier than at home We find out later on in the story that Edie is accused of being intimate with Chris Edie had her own opinion on what the thought being intimate with someone meant She thought it was kissing This shows Edies immaturity and the fact that she didnt totally understand relationships This is another way of setting insight with out her coming straight out and saying it Once again we jump ahead in the story to her waiting on the letter Edie says The mail came everyday except Sunday between one-thirty and two in the afternoon a good time for me Because Mrs Peebles was always having her nap I would get my kitchen cleaned and then go up to the mail box and sit in the grass waiting In those few sentences we can figure out that she was very eager to hear from Chris There is another insight to her feelings without
