Urban reality: a fast track to obesity
Where you live has a profound effect on your chances of staying healthy.
AS MELBOURNE expands, so will the number of people suffering heart attacks, obesity and related diseases - unless urban planners start designing developments that guarantee ready access to healthy, affordable food.
While state and federal governments bombard the community with expensive "healthy eating" campaigns, experts are concerned many families who don't have cars have difficulty getting to their local supermarket to buy fruit and vegetables because public transport is poor.
"Healthy food is one of the most important parts of our health," says VicHealth chief executive Rob Moodie. "Urban planners should look at how to plan health into our environment rather than plan it out.
"It's evident that there is a significant proportion of the population in Victoria that doesn't get access to food and a much bigger proportion that doesn't get access to good food."
There are in effect two Melbournes. One has ready access to good-quality cheap food, high car ownership and is well serviced by public transport; the other is often kilometres from a supermarket and plagued by transport problems. Members of the first earn a decent income; the second are often the working poor and those on government pensions.
Food security, as it is called, has major implications for the long-term health of a significant proportion of Victorians. Numerous studies link poor diet with obesity, cardiovascular diseases, bowel cancer, asthma and a host of other illnesses.
"Where you live matters," says University of Melbourne research fellow Lyndal Thomas. "For example, over and above the effects of an individual's socioeconomic status, if you live in a disadvantaged area you are on average 65 per cent more likely to eat fast food weekly at home."
Thomas says that, on average, there is one fast-food shop in the highest-income areas, compared with three or four in low and middle-income areas.
Put simply, the likelihood of a family eating fast food at home is directly related to its availability in the area, and jumps 9 per cent with every new takeaway shop.
The reason is clear-cut, says Cath Burns, an obesity researcher with Deakin University. Poor public transport in many disadvantaged areas makes it difficult to get to a supermarket.
"Transport is a major issue particularly in growth belts because the infrastructure hasn't caught up yet. Even in established areas, transport for the elderly, single mothers and the disabled is crucial," she says.
The rising cost of healthy food is also an issue, researchers say. According to the Department of Human Services, up to 50,000 Victorians go without food at least once a month and once a year the dinner plate is empty for about 1 in 20 adult Victorians, simply because they cannot afford it.
Health professionals and researchers say these figures indicate a much wider problem, with many more parents forced to feed their families with cheap, unhealthy foods.
Using data from the Australian Bureau of Statistics, the Australian Greens calculate that while food as a category has risen almost 30 per cent in price since 2000, snack foods have increased 19 per cent, while fruit and vegetables soared 63 per cent (and that's only slightly banana-related).
Health economists say this is because processed foods that contain high levels of fat, sugar and salt are cheaper to produce than nutritious foods.
"Fattening food is cheap," says Burns. "Calorie for calorie, foods that are high in energy and low in nutrients are much cheaper.
"The bottom line is, if you have a minimum amount of money and kids to feed, you are going to buy a packet of biscuits for $1.50, you aren't going to buy a kilo of apples for $4."
Professor Garry Jennings of the Baker Heart Research Institute, who like Moodie supports a fat tax, says poor diet is one of the major reasons why people from disadvantaged areas have higher death rates from cardiovascular disease, heart attack and stroke.
"The old notion of the harassed executive getting a heart attack is the complete opposite of what happens. It is among people who are struggling with financial and socioeconomic stress where you see most cardiovascular disease," he says.
Paradoxically, obesity, which is a major contributor to heart disease, is also a problem in low-income areas. Cheap foods are temporarily filling but often high in fat and sugar. US and European research has found that obesity is 40 per cent higher among women from lower socioeconomic backgrounds.
· Those in poorer neighbourhoods are 65 per cent more likely to eat fast food at home than high-income areas.
· Lack of public transport is acute in low-income areas and new growth corridors. This makes it harder to get to supermarkets for fresh food.
· One in 20 Victorians cannot afford to eat at least once a year.
· Low-income women are 40 per cent more likely to be obese.
· People from disadvantaged areas are between 1.6 and 1.9 times more likely to die from cardiovascular disease, coronary heart disease and stroke.

2nd centre for scientific and technical research in France
7th European region for research and innovation
14 Research Clusters
19,000 researchers
600 public-sector laboratories
More than 600 public-sector laboratories, 19,000 researchers, 12% of French scientific publications, 16% of French patents... Just some of the figures which show why Rhône-Alpes is France's second most important centre for scientific and technical research. To build on the advantage given by this exceptional network, in 2005 the Region launched an ambitious plan, the Regional Plan for Higher Education and Research (SRESR).
A truly fundamental document, this Regional Plan was developed in partnership with research and higher education establishments, and also with the people of the region. It defines the objectives and the projects shared by the educational establishments and research institutions, on the one hand, and the Region on the other.
Thus, the Regional Council has created 14 Research Clusters to stimulate the scientific communities and draw laboratories and enterprises together around the priority disciplines for the development of the Rhône-Alpes region.
To encourage creative and innovative scientific activity the Region also supports projects known as "projets blancs", whose subjects are oriented towards the future and provide scope for particularly innovative future developments.
The Rhône-Alpes Region is committed to strengthening the coordination between the international cooperation and solidarity initiatives in which its educational establishments and research institutions participate, in order to increase its influence at an international level.
The Regional Council also aims to provide financial aid for major scientific facilities, with a view to encouraging significant investment in Rhône-Alpes by the French government and the European Community. Examples of such facilities include Minatec at Grenoble (micro and nanotechnology), Crolles (microelectronics research), and the planned Campus Charles Mérieux at Lyon (biosciences).
One of the Region's most original steps was to create clusters, each of which mobilises all the players in research - universities, research institutions and businesses. In all, there are 14 research clusters, drawing together projects from the region's universities, élite grandes écoles, and laboratories as part of huge programmes, in traditional and emerging sectors.

Date of Stay: August, 2010
This park is hard to rate because you can't compare to American RV parks. For the area, this is one of the better bets as there is working water, electric, sewer and avail. showers/toilets. We only saw one other park that looked worth stopping at. The water pressure is very low and it is a good idea to close off the sewer line as you get nasty back draft. When you can locate the manager, he is very nice and helpful but definitely on Mexican time :-) We could not get a code for Wi-Fi, so don't count on it. This park is right across from the beach and Jorge's restaurant which has ice cold beer and great camarones and tacos.The area is a bit dirty and litter abounds, but maybe not so clean due to it being the off season. The park itself was clean and quiet and the owners appear to be expanding. THIS PARK IS ALL THE WAY AT THE END OF THE MAIN ST THAT RUNS ALONG THE OCEAN-BAHIA KINO NUEVO. As you pass by old town and pass by so many homes and markets, it feels like you are going too far, but be patient!
Date of Stay: August, 2010
This park was nice and peaceful. The water line was a distance from the other hookups, but we made due. It may have just been the circumstances, but the park did not seem terribly kid friendly. Our site backed up to a cemetery so we had quiet neighbors!
Date of Stay: August, 2010
The staff at this park was very nice and accommodating. The facility is a dirt lot and the pull through site was a little cramped, but worked for our 29' trailer. Not much room for the truck. The pool was small but fine for our kids to splash in; it needed cleaning, though. The restrooms and showers were run down and filthy and smokers inside made it worse. There was supposed to be Wi-Fi, but could not get a code to use it. The park is just down the road from Tombstone which was a fun time, but be prepared to pay for every little thing. We felt this park overcharged for what you got, but also were told the other parks were worse. The two tours that were really worth the time were the Courthouse tour and Boot Hill (no charge which was nice!). We decided against the OK Corral tourist trap due to the high price and there is so much info on the historical events elsewhere.
Date of Stay: July, 2010
This park is very nice and clean with all of the amenities one could want. It is a bit noisy at night since it is right next to the freeway, but access is good. The staff is nice enough and helpful. We were very frustrated with the limited access to the shower/exercise/pool facilities which are supposedly open from 8a-8p. When we tried to take our kids swimming after a long day on the road, the pool had closed early (in their defense, the maintenance person let them in to splash for a few minutes). We tried to take a shower at 7:15 pm, but we were turned away and told the showers had been cleaned already, no exceptions. The park states quiet time is 10 pm but our kids were told to stop riding their bikes at 8 pm. This park is great is you don't mind CC&R's and very limited hours, but flexibility is not a priority here.
Date of Stay: July, 2010
This park is easy to get to and had all the basic amenities one needs. The park is older and a little run down, but clean enough and seemed to have adequate security (glad for that!). The area is very loud with lots of traffic and a great deal of noise all night whether is was sirens screaming or loud people on the street. The receptionist was very nice and accommodating. The facility advertises an exercise area but it was just a couple of worn out cardio machines that need to be retired. We felt the space rent was far too expensive for what it was and the bargain breakfast was nothing to write home about.

Trry wrote:Great video. I have a Godin Round, and use the same method, but since my stove is round, I need to reach further back into the stove to get at the ashes in the rear of the stove. I use a 30 inch length of copper pipe I had laying around. I flattened a half inch on one end, so ash doesn't run up the pipe, and bent it 90 degrees. I insert it between the front gate members and sort of drill it to the back of the stove. Then I rake out what I can, moving as much to the front as I can. This is not totally successful, but it gets enough ash out to let the stove function well. Then I shake until all I have left is some unbroken nuggets on the grate. Then I DO lower the front and shovel out what rests there. Carefully, and I don't disturb the "bridge" above. I then close the front gate, and then insert a totally flattened piece of copper pipe with about an inch and a half of "L" at the end and rake at the bridge. This causes more ash and nuggets to fall. I then shake that out, and if there are some nuggets left that do not crush and fall, I leave them there. Seems to work well, and it takes about 10 minutes total. I do this each morning and each night. I fill the stove about half way or a bit more usually, and I am done, once the vent and damper are set, following a short time to allow the new coal to light.
I am thinking of developing an auger to try to get more of that ash out of the back of the stove; if I so I will let everyone know how that works.
To some folks this may seem like a bit of work, and it is more work than my old Harman used to make me do, but it is a lot easier than splitting and stacking wood, hauling that in the house, stacking it again, and tending the fire every few hours. Plus, my house is much more comfortable ALL the time, not just when the wood is burning at it's optimal stage.
These days I go out to my coal bin on Saturday morning and carry in enough coal for the week. Fifteen minutes. Nice.
Thanks for your imput. I have a Large Round going in this coming week. This will be my secondary source in the rear of the house.
I like the copper pipe tools.
Now I see Chiefcamper (needs?) to place a butter-knife in the top load door to prevent a puff back and to achieve faster ignition of the gases. I assume his MPD is wide open
and the Fire Door Air-Inlet is spun wide open as well, (or close to that).
Once my chimney is up "6 and I am sure there will be adequate draft, here's how I see the draft situation.
Before shaking and recharging the stove, turn the MPD wide open, and spin the lower air inlet open to get a strong draft going to clear the firebox of gases.
At this point I may or may not recharge the box with a layer of fresh nut/pea range. I always do this with my Vigilant. Then I would do the slicing and ash removal. After that is completed, it's time to layer the coal bed until the box is sufficiently filled. Once the side wall reaches 500F (or so), it's time to close the restrict the air-inlet on the fire door and then close the manual pipe damper. I would assume the Large Round Godin will operate well with a good chimney, MPD fully closed and the air-inlet appropiately
Thanks, Matt

Backyard Bees Seek Shade
It hit 90 degrees F in San Francisco today. And it wasn't just people who got hot.
The bees, the garden, the people, none of us were ready for this sudden heat. I doubt it's been above the low 60s in 8 weeks. In the afternoon heat, the bees nearly stopped flying and the squash vine and lettuce cringed. Bachelor buttons bowed their heads and nasturtium flowers dried up.
Robert MacKimmie, the bee man of City Bees, came by and opened the hive to see what was what inside. The bees swarmed up, over, and down the back of the hive into the shade. And they stayed there–sensible beasts that they are–until it got cooler. Meanwhile, Robert installed a honey box above the brood box and promised to bring by another brood box. That is, just as soon as he builds one.
Robert had promised the bees would be fascinating to watch. And they are. Most evenings they form clumps on their front stoop, crawling over each other. And then the clump moves first this way and then that. When the bees get hot, their arch their bodies and beat their wings so fast they are just a blur. They will line up on their front stoop, tails toward the door, and fan like mad, forcing fresh air into the hive. Today, I watched some do this as they clung to the sunny side of the hive. By tonight, they should be some tired bees.
Sometimes we just watch the bees as they leave their hive, vaguely noting their flight paths. Watching is trance inducing. At first they flew over our garden, but now they've discovered it as well as the patch of calendulas I have next door. Now when I harvest, I've learned to check for bees before picking.
We have also acquired a new job–rescuing bees from inside the house and the dog's water bowl. I also change out the sucked-dry bottle of sugar water in the bees' feeder for a fresh one very early in the morning before the bees wake up or after dark when they have all gone back inside. Robert hopes to build population in this new hive. The sugar water supplements the pollen the bees gather and allows them to care for more baby bees. (I'm just learning; sorry for the less than scientifically correct description.) Next time Robert visits, I'll try and remember to photograph him opening the hive. It was amazing today to see the frames holding honey and brood cells of baby bees.

Team preview: St. Francis (N.Y.)
Blue Ribbon Illustrated previews the 2004-05 college basketball season, exclusively on Insider.
After earning a share of the regular-season title in the NEC, St. Francis was looking forward to a long postseason run. Surprise!
The Terriers certainly were when seventh-seeded Central Connecticut State upset them in the quarterfinals of the conference tournament.
"That was the one downer," said coach Ron Ganulin, who recorded his 200th career victory during the season and was voted the NEC Coach of the Year. "It was a great year. We had no real stars and the team chemistry was great. It was a nice group to coach."
The group lost two key contributors in guards John Quintana (15.2 ppg) and Mike Wilson (13.1 ppg), who were the top two scorers, respectively, and leading rebounder Eric Thompson (7.0 ppg, 6.0 rpg).
Wilson and Thompson were both seniors, but Quintana opted to transfer instead of play his final season, and Ganulin said that was probably the best decision for both sides.

Every Bulgarian I met said three things about Russia: "1. We don't like Russian people, 2. Russia freed us from the Turks and 3. We will forever be indebted and thank the Russian people, even though we don't like them."
One of the things that I have noticed(besides the fact that I'm not able to read Russian which helps when watching Russian broadcasting) is that no other country in eastern europe has really had an impact on the hockey world. The Czechs and Slovaks I consider central but I just didn't know why there really hasn't been any additional extension further south in Europe. It certainly is cold enough in the winter to support it and with its proximity to Russia, I didn't see why this area has never been expaned(outside of Kopitar that is)
1. Russia and Bulgaria have probably on of the most complicated relations between slavic nations. For example Bulgaria fought on the side of the Nazis in WWII then swaped sides in 1944 to name a recent example. The bulgarian xenophobia I don't really get is full of ignorance. I'm not talking about all bulgarians. But this kind of attitude is there. The "we don't like russians" part is pretty laughable. If the regard the soviaet era, why russians? We didn't have only russians in the Soviet Union. It's the same if I'd mix up bulgarians and serbs for some reason. In my experience most bulgarians who talk like that can't really explain what they actually don't like about russians.

That's not accurate. First of all why Russia again? And then I could not really see it in different eastern europaen countries. There is abig difference between politics and ordinary people's life. In most case the national culture and tradition actually prevailed over any political ideology from above.
2. I would consider Czechs and Slovaks eastern europeans.
3. It's NOT cold enough in most of those countries. Still there were good hockey schools in the Soviet Union which just fell apart after the breakdown of the Soviet Union. Latvia, Ukraine and Kazakhstan are the ususal suspects. Well Latvia is too small a country to become a real force, but they a doing well now with Dinamo Riga in the KHL and a formidable national team. Kazakhstan and Ukraine pretty must lost everything there was regarding their hockey schools and will have a tough time coming back. Kazakhstan of course lies mostly in Asia. Still the have the potential, but it would take a lot of time and money now. Ukraine is too warm and a football crazy country. There are ppl now trying to work on their hockey future, but I don't see them succeed big time in the near future. That's the countries with soviet hockey roots. Other eastern european countries dont' really have the tradition, mostly because of the climate.

HTC looks ready to roll out their Windows Phone 8X and 8S updates which look to push a few of the system apps a version ahead.
Here is some more smartphone update news for the weekend. It looks like HTC is about ready to roll out updates for their Windows Phone devices. Those are the Windows Phone 8X as well as the Windows Phone 8S. What this update looks to do is move a few of the system apps to later versions.
There isn't a lot of information to detail here but the apps that will be updated are:
- Beats Audio goes to 3.5
- Attentive Phone goes to 2.5
- Regulatory goes to 1.3
There isn't any official change log for what these updates could entail for the time being, but improvements are always welcome. If you're an owner of these devices and aren't entirely sure what these features are, the rundown goes something like this.
Beats Audio is an easy one: it promises a better sound experience on your smartphone. Attentive Phone gives the device the ability to respond to changes in the environment using its variety of sensors. Phone Arena offers the example of the phone knowing to ring louder when it's in your pocket using the proximity sensor. Finally, Regulatory doesn't really do much other than show the regulatory information for your device. Not terribly exciting on that front.
Regardless, more support from manufacturers is always a good thing.

i think austin stays because the giants still want to see what he can do if he puts it together.
then it's between shaun rogers and mike patterson to compete for that 5th spot if we keep 5 DT's on the roster.
and markus kuhn will most likely be on pup until week 6 i believe?
Going on the premise that they will keep 5, I think you nailed it. Wouldn't be surprised if they only kept 4, it will be difficult to sneak an extra guy in if they are going to keep 3 QBs. Austin is treading on some thin ice!

This thing is freaking awesome!
1. Wayne Foy at Hypillauto.com
2. XCalibrator2
3. $360/shipped
4. 5 Hours
5. The Tune itself it amazing. I was sooo skeptical about which tune to get, and I must say, I am quite enthused that I saved serious $
got a great product! Installation was a piece of cake...yank #46 and #61 fuse, plug into ODB port, follow step-by-step instructions. Took maybe 12-15 minutes total.
I actually reset my computer by pulling battery cable and letting sit for awile. Upon cranking, idle jumped to 1.8k rpm for a few seconds and proceeded to nestle in right at 950rpm...very smooth sounding idle. After warming, backed out of driveway and instantly noticed the change in clutch feel and 'bog' issue...
There is no bog. The car starts moving so easily now...no feathering or playing with gas/clutch to get car moving.
Now, the fun part...I was also hesistant to buy because I did not think the gains could be significant. Holy Crap, honestly feels as if I've got an extra 20ft/lbs of torque. It jumps to 60mph so quickly now. I completely surprised myself when I glanced down expecting to see 45-50 on the speedometer and turned out to be 60-70mph!
My nice burble in the exhaust is nonexistant, and I have the
surge at 2.5k rpm...and those are my only complaints thus far. I have not had the opportunity to drive for more than 30 miles on it yet, but I shall update later.
Also, haven't gotten the chance to use the datalogging features, but will check into that!
6. Wayne is awesome, enough said...after my order, we proceeded to shoot the breeze about life! Wonderful business he has going, and he is a father now (or at least, I'm pretty sure!)... Thank You, Wayne!
7. Dyno? Yeah, don't I freaking wish...
*UPDATE* I've had the tune for a week now, and I love it. Like everyone else has said, the car should have come with a tune like this from the factory. Drives great, and Wayne is the best customer service guy...dude just had a baby and he's out and about getting my tune tweaked already...sheesh, man take a break, will ya?!
I have definitely noticed a change in my exhaust note...at cruising speed it has a low 'puttering' to it, along the same lines as the hummmmm of a 350Z (and before I get flamed for comparing my ride to a Z, chill...).
Much better Get Up and Go in response...like I said earlier, my SVTf

"I got these cards for my 2-year old son to pass out to his pre-school class and teachers and family members. They are beautifully printed on soft thick paper. I love the size, they are pretty small, but come with their own tiny envelopes! Very happy with my purchase."
"This is an adorable and different valentine card for little girls..not your run-of-the-mill card..My daughter Loves it!!"
"These cards are soooo cute! I initially was looking for a card for my son to personalize to give out at his preschool. But I just couldn't pass these up for myself! As a mom of a boy...everything is cars, blue, more trucks, army fatigue...nothing pink! So as a teacher, I just had to make these for my kindergarten students! They came out soooo cute. I'm attaching an organic yummy lollipop to these and giving them out to my lil ones! I regret not making these years ago!"
"This is a cute card that isn't overly cute. The train is perfect for that 2-4yo train-obsessed preschooler in your home. My 3yo son took these to daycare and they were a hit, both with his picture to personalize it and the train design kids respond to--without it being yet another commercial character."
"I ordered these for my son to pass out on Valentine's Day at school. Adorable! So much better than the store bought Valentine's Day cards!"

Age Intervention Retinol Plus is among the better moisturizers with retinol. The somewhat creamy lotion formula is best for normal to dry skin and we're pleased to state that the opaque pump bottle packaging will work beautifully to keep the retinol stable during use!
What makes this such a good option is that it's not just a one-note product. Retinol is included, yes, but so are antioxidants, non-fragrant safflower oil (a good source of repairing fatty acids for skin), and some peptides, each of which has theoretical cell-communicating ability. Because the formula is fragrance-free, it's suitable for sensitive skin, too, assuming you know that your skin can tolerate retinol.
Price-wise, this can be considered expensive because you can find other moisturizers with retinol for less money. However, many of those have formulas that aren't as state-of-the-art as what Marini devised, so it's definitely worth strong consideration.
Age Intervention Retinol Plus delivers the dramatic anti-aging benefits of typical retinoids while integrating soothing and hydrating ingredients for a superior experience with minimal acclimation and little to no irritation.
Water/Aqua/Eau, Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride, Glycerin, Cyclopentasiloxane, Glyceryl Stearate, Polysorbate 20, Carthamus Tinctorius (Safflower) Seed Oil, Butyrospermum Parkii (Shea) Butter, Polysorbate 60, Stearic Acid, Stearyl Alcohol, Cyclohexasiloxane, Retinol, Myristoyl Tripeptide-4, Sorbitol, Bisabolol, Sodium Hyaluronate, Camellia Oleifera Leaf Extract, Palmitoyl Tetrapeptide-7, Palmitoyl Oligopeptide, Chrysin, Dimethicone, Dimethicone/Vinyl Dimethicone Crosspolymer, Glyceryl Acrylate/Acrylic Acid Copolymer, Steareth-20, N-Hydroxysuccinimide, Triethanolamine, Carbomer, Hexylene Glycol, Ethylhexylglycerin, Caprylyl Glycol, BHT, Phenoxyethanol
Jan Marini Skin Research, Inc. At-A-Glance
Strengths: Most of the products are fragrance- and colorant-free; excellent AHA and retinol options, including an AHA combined with sunscreen; the water-soluble cleansers.
Weaknesses: Expensive; some categories contain ingredients (growth factors, hormones, and interferon) with unreliable track records or whose long-term risks, if any, remain unknown; sunscreens that lack sufficient UVA-protecting ingredients; jar packaging; Marini Lash isn't as exciting as Marini's former lash-enhancing products.
Jan Marini Skin Research, Inc., was founded, of course, by Jan Marini, who originally started out marketing products for M.D. Formulations. Thus, it isn't surprising to find that her own line is also aimed at dermatologists, aestheticians, and plastic surgeons, much the way M.D. Formulations is. In direct contrast to many of the other skin-care lines in this niche market, Marini's line stands out with its selection of far more realistic and varied skin-care products. First, there are no spiraling-out-of-control ingredient lists where everything is thrown in except the kitchen sink. Then, and more important, you will find some well-formulated products that include sunscreens, skin-lightening options, vitamin C products, and good glycolic acid–based alpha hydroxy acid (AHA) products, along with some outstanding retinol options.
It is interesting to observe that Marini attributes the research for her "topical form of lipid (fat) soluble Vitamin C that is stable and able to be absorbed" to the form "developed in conjunction with physician researcher Nicholas Perricone, M.D." Of course, Perricone has his own version of vitamin C products, which are quite similar to Marini's in that they also contain ascorbyl palmitate. That being the case, given that he claims his are the best ever with the highest concentration of the stuff, we wonder if she would now agree with his findings? At least compared to her former partners at M.D. Formulations, Marini's information about vitamin C is more accurately based (it's backed by published research) and there's only a minimal amount of hyperbole. In fact, when it comes to the information Marini and team present to the professionals who retail their products, this line wins high marks for its close-to-accurate information about how skin ages, what can be done to minimize and prevent future signs of aging, and the effects various products have on skin. Of course, you're supposed to believe her products have all the answers, but that's what the reviews below will elucidate.
For more information about Jan Marini Skin Research, Inc., call (888) 695-2611 or visit www.janmarini.com.
The Beautypedia and Paula's Choice Research teams have one mission: To help you find the best products for your skin, whether they're from Paula's Choice or another brand. By combining efforts, we're able to share scientific research and remain committed to the highest standards based on our decades of experience objectively reviewing thousands upon thousands of skincare and makeup formularies in all price ranges.
Beautypedia cuts through the hype to bring you product insights and recommendations you won't find anywhere else!

Notable Oregonians: Phil Knight - Innovator, Business Leader
Phil Knight was born on February 24, 1938. As a youth he played sports and covered the sports beat for his high school newspaper. Knight graduated from the University of Oregon with a B.S. in business administration in 1959. There he competed on the track team and recorded a personal best time of 4:10 for the mile run. He received an MBA from Stanford University in 1962.
In 1964 Knight and his former track coach, Bill Bowerman, each invested $500 to start Blue Ribbon Sports, the progenitor to Nike. They had both expressed dissatisfaction with American running shoes and decided to try to improve on shoe design. Off to an uncertain start, Knight sold his shoes out of the back of a station wagon but continued to practice as a certified public accountant and teach at Portland State University until 1969.
The Cortez, the first shoe to appear under the Nike brand, arrived on the athletic scene in 1972. It became successful and launched substantial growth for the the company named for the Greek goddess of victory. By 1979, Nike claimed 50 percent of the U.S. running shoe market. Through the 1980s and 1990s, Nike's advertisements helped make it the foremost retailer of athletic shoes worldwide. Most of the advertisements featured endorsements from athletes such as basketball player Michael Jordan and golfer Tiger Woods as well as slogans such as "Just Do It." The company has expanded over the years to design and market apparel and sports equipment. It is now the world's largest sports and fitness company.
Nike innovations in shoe design include the waffle sole and air cushioning. Knight has also introduced several advances in the field of sports business. In 2004, he stepped down as chief executive officer and president of Nike. Knight continued as chairman of the company's board of directors until 2016.
Knight purchased the stop-motion animation company Will Vinton Studios in 2002 and changed the name to Laika. The company released its first feature film Coraline in 2009.
With a net worth estimated at over $28 billion, Knight has been active with philanthropy. He donated $105 million to the Stanford Graduate School of Business in 2006, the largest donation to a business school in history to that date. He also provided financial assistance to his high school alma mater Cleveland High School in Portland for their new track, football field, and gymnasium. Knight and his wife, Penny, donated $100 million to the OHSU Knight Cancer Institute in Portland in 2008. In 2013, Knight announced that he would donate $500 million to the OHSU Knight Cancer Institute, if OHSU could match it over the subsequent two years. The university met the challenge in 2015. A prominent booster of University of Oregon sports, Knight's donations over the years have paid for many state of the art athletic facilities at the university. In 2016 he donated $400 million to create a new scholars program at Stanford University.
In 2000, the Oregon Sports Hall of Fame inducted Knight for his special contribution to sports in the state. In 2012, he was inducted into the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame as a contributor for his role in Nike's huge financial support for the sport and its players.

Student Thanks God for the Instrumental Work of Orangewood Children's Foundation in Her Life
Featured in an article in the OC Register, Vanguard University sophomore Osiris Avalos shares a part of her story and thanks Orangewood Children's Foundation for the role they've had in it.
A liberal studies major at Vanguard University, 20-year-old Avalos is grateful for the support and continued aid that the Orangewood Children's Foundation provides to former and current foster children. After her mother and stepfather were arrested, Avalos spent close to two weeks at the Orangewood Children's Home before going home with Joy Greenwood, her third-grade teacher and newly acquired foster mom. The foundation built the home in 1985 as a "temporary refuge for children who had suffered neglect or abuse," the article said.
In addition to short-term housing, the foundation runs multiple programs and provides various services to assist former and current foster children. Programs include the Peer Mentor Program, the Guardian Scholars Program, the Orangewood Resource Center and the Children's Trust Fund. With the intention of actively participating in this charitable work, Avalos submitted an application to become a peer mentor a few weeks ago.
Nearly every week, Avalos takes advantage of the services provided by the Orangewood Resource Center, whether it's a hot meal or just a place to study. Grateful for the foundation and the individuals who make it possible, Avalos is quoted in the article saying: "The people there just show so much care and love… they love it and love helping strangers." Many of the foundation's workers come from foster homes, so they are able to relate with the children and give them advice from a place of understanding.
Now one of Vanguard's many commuters, Avalos says Vanguard has helped her in many ways and she knows her life has really changed. She said: "Going to this school is a great opportunity because it allows me to keep the two most important things in my life together: my relationship with Jesus Christ and my education."

Vogue Italia certainly made a statement by giving the June Cover to my favorite plus size models (from the left) Tara Lynn, Candice Huffine, and newcomer Robin Lawley. The cover shoot goes along with the 19 page spread, which was photographed by Steven Meisel. The editorial showcases plus size model Marquita Pringe. Here are more photos and a behind the scenes look at the photo shoot:
<span style="color: #000000;"><object height="350" width="425" data="http://www.youtube.com/v/0g9ODpG0XpA&feature" type="application/x-shockwave-flash"> <param name="data" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/0g9ODpG0XpA&feature" /> <param name="src" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/0g9ODpG0XpA&feature" /> </object>
From the editorial, plus size models have been put back to the fore front. The cover is a fantastic gain for plus size models everywhere. Franca Sozzani, editor-in-chief for Vogue Italia remains practical about the plus size model movement. When asked whether or not plus size models would be able to get the same jobs as straight size models Sozzani stated, "No, I don't think so, because for the moment -- and we never know, you know? -- but for the moment I don't think we'll see the same proportion [of plus-size models as straight-size models]. Just like we don't see the same proportion of white and black girls. They use curvy models sometimes, like a provocation, but it's just to show something different, which I don't like honestly". I think at this point you monsters know how I feel about plus size models being integrated into the world of high fashion. There is no sense in beating a dead horse over this.
A new discussion is emerging from the plus size debate, which is whether or not the word "PLUS SIZE" should be abolished. Models Crystal Renn and Marquita Pringe have both went on the record saying they don't want to be referred to as plus size. Queen Latifah who is launching a fashion line for all sizes through the Home Shopping Network has weighed in stating, "It is a word we need to bury at this point". I don't quite understand what the problem is. I have never had a problem with the word plus size. I don't think of plus size as curse or having any negative connotation. Plus size is just a label or category like african-american, or middle aged. Maybe I'm missing something; you tell me monsters.
Should the word "Plus Size" be done away with or not?
