Steve McCurry's 'Last Roll of Kodachrome' photos are now live on his blog
Award-winning photographer Steve McCurry has published the photos taken with the last roll of Kodakchrome to come off the production line on his Wordpress blog. McCurry has shot more than 800,000 photos including his iconic 'Afghan Girl' portrait, with the film. In an article posted by NPR in 2009 McCurry equated 'losing the medium to losing a dear friend.'

I click the link and it says I don't have permission to access this. I understand that it's 3 years later but does anyone know where I can find these photos?
...probably in the author's drawer.
That's what happens to digital pictures on teh internetz.
These are great image, but I for one am tired of always looking at asian, there poverty etc. Looking for the images that are different. What about staying in North America, do we not have anything to offer
Apparently North America does not offer a high degree of literacy. Asia is spelt with a capital, and "there" should be "their"... :- )
Asia holds by far the majority of the world's population, and it offers diverse, exotic and highly colourful images to those who choose to engage with it. That said, North America is at times stunningly beautiful... you would know coming from Calgary! So perhaps his choice is not a failing on his part, rather an exercise in the photographer expressing himself...
ok ok don't fret, i found this posted by one of the user , it has Kodak Chrome 64
emulation for LightRoom....
Every time I have problems with color from a roll of film these days, I can't help but think "If only I had loaded Kodachrome" Probably just selective memory, but what a great film it was, we shall never see it's equal again in this world.
Having shot Kodachrome for 40 years I have to say that these all look push or post-processed, I dont see a 'Kodachrome' look in any of them.
I miss the Kodachrome. Great film.
He leaves quite a bit of space above the heads of his portrait subjects.
Steve McCurry is an amazing artist. It's a shame to see the end of his favorite medium though I'm certain his artistry will be just as strong.
I have a roll of Kodachrome that I shot 5 or 6 six years ago. I sent it to Kodak in an old mailer, but it was sent back. Is there anyplace that I can still get this processed?
um... you're kind of out of luck, unless you plan to do it yourself.
I mean really? Haven't you heard about Kodak and what not?
The last roll was developed in the last facility to do such things at the end of December, 2010. As of now, there is not one place in the world you can send it for proper development, sad to say...
Yesterday I went to a store in Yokohama (Bic Camera) where there was still a lot of choice in photo-films sold: Fujifilm, Kodak (not everything though) and even... Agfa rolls, in their famous red little box (I hadn't seen any for maybe 15 or 20 years).
It means somewhere on this planet somebody is still able to develop rolls; in which manner I couldn't tell. Yet, there are still some players on the playground... at least in Japan !
Very late to the party, but try filmrescue.com
Sent them an exposed roll of Ektachrome that sat in a camera for 40 years and they were able to process it.
Umm, the roll of K64 in my Olympus Mju ii has a serial number one higher than his - should I tell him?
I'm happy to send him my roll if he wants to use up the remaining 6 frames, as long as he returns my camera afterwards - it's the limited edition one with the dateback and silver wrist strap so I don't just loan it to anyone.
He'd need to publishes my pictures too - there's a really good one of my Aunt doing the conga, and some arty contre-jour shots of Fudgie and Patch our guinea pigs.
Frames 8-30 he can ignore as I forgot to switch the camera off before I put it in my jacket.
Can't express how much these pictures make me miss India.
Someone please get this man another roll if you have one to spare.
Outstanding. However there are 30 images. This implies 6 or 7 were deleted. I would have also deleted the 2nd shot of De Niro. Such a dud compared to the first, and its existence devalues the first one slightly. I'm surprised it made the cut, especially considering he "proofed" all the shots with a digital camera first.
And the hotel room tv... huh?
McCurry used a digital camera BEFORE he clicked the shutter on that last role of Kodachrome: "I wanted that reinforcement, to be able to see it on a two-dimensional screen..." – Steve McCurry, National Geographic photographer, on shooting the last roll of Kodachrome film produced by Kodak, during which time he took each photograph first with a digital camera. From Shutterbug Magazine, October 2011: "McCurry took no chances shooting the last roll of Kodachrome. To make sure he had exactly the right moment for each photo, in focus and at the right exposure, he first used a digital camera."
Another legend gone.....
I have used a lot of Kodakchrome, Ektar and T-max films with a lot of pleasure. Sad to see a great company like Kodak struggle...
Agreed ! I don't want to start a new discussion about Kodak, but I just wanted to say I never understood why this company didn't try to stay in the game earning money with its printing department, while making sure everybody knows the brand is around by selling SD cards/speedlight flashes like mads and - why not ? - shifting to making lenses like Tamron and Sigma. This would have been a big leap for sure, but everything was better than stupidily waiting for the end.
I think the nuances and richness of the colors are outstanding without looking oversaturated. They are strong, yet natural. Look at the series of portraits, the red colors, the white colors, the skintones. And the amazing is that this just by clickling the shutter, no curves, no adjustment layers, no elaborate PP to fix the shortcomings of the digital image.
But the issues is how much did using Kodachrome 64 impact the final result compared to if the same photographer had used a modern high-end digital under the same conditions for the same shot. Are they any better because they were taken with Kodachrome 64 than they would have been taken with digital? If the answer is "no" because of the "noise" (grain) and lack of contrast/saturation control, the this is just an exercise in nostalgia.
You appear to be implying that these shots ARE technically better. If so, in what way?
My thoughts exactly; there's no way, looking at those images, I'd have thought wow, those must have been made on film. Some aren't even that wonderful to me; they seem self-conscious and not particularly interesting; although others are wonderful.
Come on, tell me you know anyone who shoots 30/30 "wonderful" photos. Don't you think that your expectations are bit too high? And we never think "wow, those must have been made on film" because of the world shaped by Lightroom and Photoshop we live in as well as the amount of excellent shots created every day in the world. A truly excellent shot will defend itself even if made using cellphone. It doesn't mean though that film as such is a better medium for capturing life than digital.
Amazing how our expectations have changed. To me, these are grainy and over saturated compared to modern digital images!
the difference can only be appreciated when the proper medium is at hand. In the case of vinyl it will be a good pressed and good sounding vinyl, record player+amp+speaker combo, in image it will be a proper print. digital is catching though up in terms of resolution, and you can always apply tone curves and color profiles to make your image look 'analogue', as you have plugins that will give 'warmth' to the sound. we can always debate if digital has or hasn't yet reached that level of resolution either in audio, video or still image... but its pretty close nowadays.
Our expectations have indeed changed, though perhaps not for the better. I suppose you would have pounded that grain into submission with the noise reduction slider, turned down the saturation slider till the red blinkies went away, added a tone curve to get rid of some of that annoying contrast, and sharpened it up with some unsharp mask?
The beauty of film is that each one has it's own characteristics and quirks. Photographers call it the "look" of a film. Some are grainy, some are contrasty, some are colorful, and you choose the right look to match your artistic vision the way a sculptor would choose a block of marble to carve his masterpiece. And like a sculpture where the imperfections in color and texture in the rock contribute to the overall aesthetic of the work, so to does film grain add to the feel of an image.
I guess that's lost on some photographers these days.
The difference between past and present praxis is that more people now process their own digital photos than ever processed film. The nostalgic remembrance of glory days past is a feature of comments by film-lovers that has not always been borne out by reality. I've recently read an interview with a great exponent of landscape photography. When asked whether he had become a Photoshop expert (having of necessity converted to digital), he said he just told the technician how he wanted it to look - just as he had when he shot with Velvia.
I wonder how many people look at that and wonder "what on earth was film?"!
I used to love Kodachrome 64 but I did switched to mainly Fujifilm Velvia 100 before the end of film arrived. This was mainly for the (almost) extra stop and being able to get it processed cheaper, quicker and not mounted. In the UK you could only really get Kodachrome processed by post by Kodak.
I'm sure the Kodachrome slides will outlast any of the E6 slides I have. Looking through my old film stuff it is amazing how little is worth scanning - but then I'm not Steve McCurry!
BTW: Think of the financial cost of nipping off to India with a few hundred rolls of Kodachrome. The business model of photography has changed sooo much.
I showed this to a friend who was a staff photographer at Newsweek for a few decades. He started chuckling and showed me the NYC Taxicab photo.
He explained that all the Kodachrome had a serial number starting with "PKR-36".
How cool is it that he found that cab with that license plate?
last ever roll of Kodachrome
oh well, use curves in Photoshop or DXO Film Pack
no biggie
The agony this photographer must have felt every time he squeezed off a shot from his VERY LAST roll careful to not waste a single frame. Now he knows to some degree the agony of the unwashed masses who had to buy their own film and shot so few keepers. Thank God for digital. That being said, these images while a tad "grainy" are beautiful.
I far much prefer 'grain' over ugly digital noise, color banding and all those artifacts. Something totally unnatural feeling, where that analogue grain really gives an image texture, and some 'luminous noise' is often nice to have. As much as modern digital is clean in good light, unless you're making a massive print, which no one does these days...
Of course it almost certainly was not in actuality the very last roll. There will be supplies in fridges here and there around the world for a while no doubt.
(manually added) EXIF data would have been interesting. Especially ISO-value. Grain seems to be quite high in all shots. Dark areas miss detail. Sharpness could be better in modern standards.
The "feel" of the images is sure quite strong. Film camera increases "sadness" of the the subject.
Seeing these images, I miss old film ages less and less.
Asking for the ISO value isn't that silly, especially as someone like Steve could have push processed some of the shots.
I very much enjoyed shooting this film. And my father shot dozens of rolls of it from the late 1950s to the early 1980s. Fortunately they all survived and look as brilliant as they did when they arrived in the mail after being processed in Palo Alto.
This is great. And great film Kodachrome was.
...in fact, I find it also a very moving project.
A photographer paying tribute to his "tool" of choice for such great moments in his career by shooting "the last roll" of Kodachrome could not be a more perfect final chapter for such a iconic image registering medium, one that even has the previous "honor" of having a song been written about it.
I love digital, but cannot but lament the dismissal of such a powerful photographic tool...I guess the tide of times just makes everything, sooner or later, obsolete, irrespective of its intrinsic and objective value.
It is also ironically sad while, at the same time, extremely reveling that he found fit to bring along his digital DSLR to test possible shots before actually expending the valuable Kodachrome frames.
Anyone know what service bureau or who scanned these for McCurry?
Given that usually we take dozens, if not hundreds sometimes, of pictures, to get a few very good ones... I feel that having 36 out of 36 being a success, this was quite an achievement, that few of us could aspire to.
In this light, although I would have liked to see a wider range, subject wise, and geographically, on the last roll, I feel it was a nice closing. After all, the world is all about how it is seen, through various eyes. And those eyes, belong to the people.
A few nice shots.. but considering his reputation and ability to basically travel anywhere this series wasn't very inspiring or really made me appreciate kodachrome,, colors were not that great
I miss Velvia.
If you like Velvia....go buy some and use it.
Yeah go buy some Velvia, every camera store with a film cool I check out has packs of them... or buy 'miss' do you mean you don't have it in you to 'bother' with analogue? :/
I liked Velvia as well, although I used the 50. Reala was an excellent negative film as well.
While I liked them, I reluctantly have to say that digital gave me as much resolution and color that those did even in the 6mp days. But rolls of film will always hold a place dear in my heart.
Ok, now where did I put my slide projector... Hope the lamp still works!
Very nice! Thanks for the nostalgic return.
Great video of a wonderful film and an incredible photographer. I began my photography with Kodachrome and loved the warm tones. This video is well done and I appreciate those who put it together. We have friends who have degrees in film history/production who have always known and used digital. I will be curious about their response to this video. Thank you for letting us know about it and sharing it.
Great Goodbye on the last roll, excellent shots all. I switched from Kodachrome to Fujichrome around 1984, but still can remember the Kodachrome's over-accented warm part of the spectrum. It was a pleasure to look at.
Cue film bashers in 3...2...1...
Looks Great, but my last years of shooting slide film - I shot Fujichrome Provia 100F & not much of anything else. I personally think Fujichrome Blew Kodachrome away! ! I have a roll in my EOS-3 - probably been in the camera going on 2 years. I'll finish it some day this spring or summer.

ITIL v3 can co-exist with existing frameworks
Since its release, ITIL v3 has evoked mixed reactions among Indian CIOs. Vishal Vyas, an ITIL expert with 60 ITIL credit points (as well as the delivery head of South Asia for ITpreneurs) explains what ITIL v3 brings to the table for Indian organizations.

ITIL v3 is not as popular in India, as it has been in Europe and other western countries, largely because ITIL followers have traditionally been managed service providers and production support domains in Asia Pacific countries. So ITIL has incorporated all aspects of IT relevant for a wider spectrum of the business, right from strategizing, designing, transitioning and running a service.
Earlier, ITIL had seven framework books and people would refer to only two. Now with just five books, the company can cover service strategy, service design, service transition, service operation and continual service improvement. SearchCIO.in: Is ITIL framework relevant only for IT companies?
It's a myth that ITIL is only relevant for IT companies. Traditionally, ITIL followers have been from service operations.
ITIL v3 has taken a formal approach in terms of improving services. CIOs, CTOs and service delivery managers continuously face SLA pressures, and the focus is on improving services, which is otherwise lost due to operational challenges. "Continual service improvement" ensures that improvement within the IT environment happens systematically. Even the certification roadmap for individuals is no longer based on two out of seven books as it was in ITIL v2; all five books have to be considered at different depths for different countries.
The new version of ITIL will not replace other frameworks within organizations. On the contrary, it tries to match itself in a better way for domains such as SDLC frameworks like CMMI, governance and control frameworks like Cobit. SearchCIO.in: How is the awareness level for ITIL v3 in India?
There is awareness but a lack of indepth understanding. The major push for ITIL adoption is coming from customers. In India, the push is coming from counterparts in USA, UK and other countries.
However, there is a lot of enthusiasm within the industry. There is a small M curve in ITIL adoption because ITIL v2 gained good market pull over the last four years. Then came in ITIL v3, and people decided to wait and watch. Now the enthusiasm is back again.

The Alaska Ocean Observing System (AOOS) and the North Pacific Research Board (NPRB) sponsored a workshop on marine research and monitoring efforts in the Arctic, particularly in the Beaufort and Chukchi Seas, as part of the January 2009 Alaska Marine Science Symposium in Anchorage, Alaska.
The goal of the workshop, attended by 145 individuals from more than 60 organizations, was to share information and promote collaboration among the many entities with increasing activities in marine research and monitoring in the region, including the oil and gas industry, local, state, and federal agencies, and non-governmental and academic organizations.
The workshop was an initial step by AOOS and NPRB toward long-term development of a more comprehensive monitoring and assessment plan, through which each participating organization can focus on projects to meet their particular goals while contributing to a larger data sharing and integration effort.
A draft workshop report, prepared by Craig Dorman, retired University of Alaska vice president for research, and entitled Toward a Strategy for the Chukchi and Beaufort Seas, was circulated for community review in April.
The final document, which is available on the AOOS website, was released in late May and contains:
AOOS will work with other partners to form a committee to follow up on the report's recommendations. For more information, go to the workshop website, or contact AOOS Director Molly McCammon (email@example.com).

CBS poll: Obama hits another new low on health care
posted at 7:45 pm on September 1, 2009 by Allahpundit
Yeah, lots of poll posts today, but let's enjoy it while we can.
President Obama's approval rating on health care has dropped six points since July to 40 percent, and now more Americans, 47 percent, disapprove of his handling of health care, according to a new CBS News poll taken between Aug 27 – 31…
Americans are not only skeptical of Mr. Obama's handling of health care, but also of the effectiveness of reform. Americans are more apt to say the middle class and small business would be hurt, not helped, by the plans currently under consideration…
One-third call themselves dissatisfied with the way the Obama administration is handling health care, and another 17 percent describe themselves as angry about it. Thirty-four percent are satisfied, and just 11 percent are enthusiastic…
Specifically, Americans predict Congress' reform plans will cause costs to go up, quality of care to get worse, and the availability of doctors to decline. No more than one in five think Congress' current plans would make any of those areas better.
The fascinating, and potentially important, detail: When asked about specific provisions of ObamaCare — i.e. the public option, statutory ceilings on premiums, guaranteeing insurance irrespective of preexisting conditions, etc. — people are widely supportive. I don't know how to explain that except to think that (a) public ignorance about the plan really is as bad as CBS claims, which doesn't say much for The One's vaunted communications skills, or (b) the country's now reached such an anti-government fervor that they're fatally suspicious of even those programs whose particulars they agree with in principle. Either way, the plan as of this morning was for The One to draw a line in the sand next week for Congress on what he will and won't support, presumably to sharpen the public's attention on the details. (The public option isn't a dealbreaker.) I'm intrigued by the fact that he's willing to go that far but not offer a specific plan of his own, as Bob Dole advised him to do yesterday. His team's been wary of that as a mistake Clinton made in 1994, but at this point what does Obama have to lose? He tried letting Congress take the lead and got a 40/47 split on this issue for this trouble. If he's unwilling to push his own plan now, he must have deep doubts about his remaining credibility.
Via Greg Hengler, here's Chris Matthews making a surprisingly good point while saluting Bill Clinton as the "voice of God" on health care. I made the same argument last night: Since the Democrats won't get any credit from the right or right-leaning independents for abandoning ObamaCare, they might as well slam through a public option and please their base. Assuming, that is, that they're willing to endure an endless series of procedural challenges in the Senate from Republicans if they try to use reconciliation. Which they may have no choice but to do, now that Teddy's gone.

Research Team: Jay Aronson (PI, Carnegie Mellon), Sarah Wagner (co-PI, University of North Caroline, Greensboro), Alex John London (co-I, Carnegie Mellon), Adam Rosenblatt (consultant, Stanford), Lindsay Smith (consultant, UCLA), and Lola Vollen (consultant, UC-Berkeley)
Forensic DNA profiling is increasingly becoming a standard tool in the search for missing people in the aftermath of mass violence and mass disaster. Yet, there has been very little systematic effort to identify and analyze the major ethical and policy challenges associated with this new use of genetic technology. Thus, stakeholders involved in post-conflict and post-disaster investigations have had to develop their own ad hoc rules and ethical principles for the identification process. This project seeks to identify and analyze the ethical and policy challenges associated with post-conflict and post-disaster DNA identification. There are three sets of specific aims. The first is to determine the extent to which scientists and relatives of the missing share a common understanding of capacities and limitations of the DNA identification process. The second relates to ethical issues associated with the use of DNA identification, including: how to deal with incidental findings (e.g., misattributed paternity); the extent to which for-profit biotechnology companies have unique ethical obligations to victims and human rights organizations that contract their services; and issues of privacy, anonymity, trust, data ownership, informed consent, and illicit use associated with the creation of large genetic databases in countries emerging from conflict or disaster. The third set of aims seeks to elucidate why DNA identification is used enthusiastically in some cases (e.g. Bosnia and post-9/11 New York City), reluctantly in others (e.g., post-Hurricane Katrina Louisiana), and not at all, or under extremely limited circumstances, in others (e.g., Rwanda). It also examines the expanding mandates of the organizations involved in post-conflict and post-disaster DNA identification. The project will begin with a workshop in which post-conflict and post-disaster DNA identification stakeholders from around the world will discuss the ethical and policy challenges they face in their daily work. This workshop will enable the research team to determine what information will be most useful to stakeholders and will guide their subsequent research. In the second phase of the project, the research team will conduct interviews, oral histories, and ethnographic and archival research in various post-conflict and post-disaster settings, including: post-9/11 New York City, post-Katrina Louisiana, Argentina, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Chile, Guatemala, Iraq, Peru, South Africa, and post-tsunami Thailand. This phase will also examine the U.S. military's efforts to recover and identify missing soldiers from the Vietnam War. In addition to writing case studies and comparative analyses to be published in academic journals and online, the research team, in collaboration with the bioethics advisory board, will also produce a white paper that highlights the major ethical challenges associated with post-conflict and post-disaster DNA identification and provides examples of best practices, model policies, and analytical tools for thinking through dilemmas at all stages of the identification process. Finally, the research team will publish a collection of oral histories documenting the family and community perspective on missing persons in a book series for lay readers called Voice of Witness (co-edited by Dave Eggers and Lola Vollen).

The owners manual should explain the perameters that CAGS engages.
hi every one, i just picked up a 08 yellow coupe with 9450mi the owners man. sez. when going slow in first gear the 1-4 skip shift light should come on but mine does not what do you think? did the preveious owner eliminate it? if so how can i tell ? thanks kraz
The owners manual should explain the perameters that CAGS engages.
You did not mention if you met the conditions for the lock-out to happen. If you did, then I'm not sure, you may have installed CAGs over-ride. They are simple 'plug-n-play' devices.
Jack the back up and see if a skip-shift eliminator device has been wired into the harness leading to the skip shift solenoid.
As for the skip-shift function, it's actually pretty non-intrusive. I believe the owner's manual describes under what conditions it enables and you need to drive the car in just that manner to test for its function.
thanks it works i wasnt driving slow enuf for it to come on kraz
Something to keep in mind -- even if there is a skip-shift eliminator installed and the car meets the parameters for skip-shift to activate, the indicator in the dash will light up though you will be able to shift to 2nd and not be forced to shift to 4th.

If the car was aftermarket tuned, the skipshift could have been eliminated.

I decided to head inland, to the heart of Mexico, where I quickly fell in love. The honest smiles of the people, the brisk morning air, the brightness of this culture, and the intensity and nourishment of the traditional foods floored me.In a town called Morelia my passion for food and my entrepreneurial desires collided, when what I can only describe as my most memorable dining experience to date became the inspiration for ¿Por Qué No?.
I returned to Portland a couple of weeks after that meal and started writing up a business plan for my own personal Morelian dream. I decided on the name ¿Por Qué No? as an homage to that journey. Through the help of many friends, family members, amazing employees, and loyal patrons, we have been able to create ¿Por Qué No?, and we thank you for this opportunity.

©2007 Clive Cussler; (P)2007 Penguin
"Cussler takes a breather from his several ongoing series with this historical thriller set in the western states, circa 1906. The U.S. government hires the renowned Van Dorn Detective Agency and its equally renowned lead agent, Isaac Bell, to capture the bank robber known as the Butcher Bandit....Once San Francisco gets hit by the 1906 earthquake and the principals climb aboard a pair of fire-breathing locomotives, the novel cranks up a head of steam and some high-speed thrills." (Publishers Weekly)
"Excellent Opener to Cussler's Isaac Bell Series"
One of Cussler's best written books. In this book, he introduces his new character named Isaac Bell, who is a detective for a large detective agency in the early 1900's.
The plot involves a highly successful bank robber who never leaves witnesses. Or at least he tries not to!
Excellent characters, plot, and adventure. Perhaps I learned a bit too much about railroads and communication via telegraph. But it's always such a pleasure to listen to Scott Brick's narration, I really didn't mind.
I love espionage, legal, and detective thrillers but listen to most genres. Very frequent reviews. No plot spoilers! Please excuse my typos!
"Not Cussler's best"
Clive Cussler has been writing and coauthoring historical thrillers for over 40 years and he has a large and faithful following or readers. 24 of his 60+ unabridged novels in English are available at Audible in audiobook format. Many are narrated by Scott Brick, my favorite narrator.
The Chase is Book 1 in the 8 novel Isaac Bell series. It is well worth listening to, but it is not a good as most Cussler novels. My advice is to start listening to Cussler with his Dirk Pitt novels seven of which are available in audiobook format.
"A new series for me"
I love Clive Cussler but never ventured to try this series because I generally do not enjoy books set in the early 1900's, particularily in the Western US. Boy was I surprised. This book has all of the fast paced adventures of his other thrillers. I love Isaac Bell just as much as I love all of his other heros beginning with Dirk Pit. If you like the NUMA adventures, or the Oregon adventures you will love the Chase and Isaac Bell.
"My first and not my last by a long shot"
This is my first Clive Cussler books - I know, where have I been. What a rush. So much action, great characters in just the right doses. Nothing is wasted in the story. Can't wait for my next one. Read Clive!
"It was hard to put down..."
...in those hours when I had to eat, sleep and go to work. It was intriguing and exciting from page one and I'm recommending it to some very finicky readers in my family.
"Great Historical Novel"
Fast moving thriller. Starts and ends in the 1950s, with most the story taking place in 1906. Gives a great historical context of a detective chasing down a bank robber killer.
I tend to follow Scott Brick's books and this one did not disappoint. Just purchased The Wreck and looking forward to it.
Retired former magazine editor who is working harder than ever as Mr. Dad to his 14-year-old daughter.
"Villains make this a good read"
This is my first Clive Cussler novel and I'll probably give him another look. He certainly came up with an easy-to-dislike antagonist in the form of Cromwell. Apart from a grudging fondness for his sister, Cromwell seemed to be totally without redeeming value. Even his philanthropic work was performed for cover. Our hero, Isaac Bell, was a likable-enough character although the romance that blossomed with one of Cromwell's employees strained credibilty. Much of the story strained credibility but did so in a way that did not detract from a reader's ability to enjoy the listen. I did.
Must like the main characters, be intelligently written and feel like I learned something at the end.
"quick easy listen"
This was an entertaining story as most Cussler books are: very defined bad guys going up against our James Bond like good guy. However, the story is implausible and there are some parts that could just be cut out. Also, I found the characters a bit undeveloped and hard to like. Finally, the narrator, Scott Brick, has done some excellent work in the past, but in this book, he is much too melodramatic. If you're looking for a light, fun listen this is a good choice.
"The Chase"
Good reading and not great but good. Worth your time and I could recommend it to all.
Scott Brick must be one of the worst narrators ever. This is the second book of his I have listened to and I have disliked both. His style is very over-the-top. He is too dramatic and his sentences too often reach an unneeded crescendo. Half the time he cannot keep his voices and accents straight and in one instance a French accent slowly turns into a badly done Irish accent. When he isn't whipping himself into a frenzy or botching the voices, he sounds just plain haughty.
The book itself is just ok. Period references are good if they are done correctly. This book just squeaks by in that department. It starts to get a little annoying with the references (yes, we know 85 miles an hour was fast in 1906), but then backs off before it gets TOO bad. The ending cannot be described as anything but cheesy.

Integrating the 16 Habits of Mind. In outcomes-based learning environments, we generally see three elements in play: 1) learning objectives or targets are created from given standards; 2) instruction of some kind is given; and then 3) learning results are assessed.
These assessments offer data to inform the revision of further planned instruction. Rinse and repeat. But lost in this clinical sequence are the Habits of Mind that (often predictably) lead to success or failure in the mastery of given standards. In fact, it is not in the standards or assessments, but rather these personal habits where success or failure -- in academic terms -- actually begin. Below are all 16 Habits of Mind, each with a tip, strategy or resource to understand and begin implementation in your classroom. The habits themselves aren't new at all, and significant work has already been done in the areas of these "thinking habits. " And a renewed urgency for their integration. 1. 2.

Suggestions from educators at KIPP King Collegiate High School on how to help develop and assess critical-thinking skills in your students.
Ideally, teaching kids how to think critically becomes an integral part of your approach, no matter what subject you teach. But if you're just getting started, here are some concrete ways you can begin leveraging your students' critical-thinking skills in the classroom and beyond. 1. Questions, questions, questions. Questioning is at the heart of critical thinking, so you want to create an environment where intellectual curiosity is fostered and questions are encouraged. In the beginning stages, you may be doing most of the asking to show your students the types of questions that will lead to higher-level thinking and understanding. 2. Critical Thinking Skills. Differentiation.
The Best Resources On Differentiating Instruction. Using Digital Tools for Differentiation. Direct Address to this Page: Anyone who has worked in education for any length of time knows just how important it is for teachers to create differentiated classrooms.
If schools are truly working to ensure success for every student, learning experiences need to be customized and aligned to student interests, needs, and unique learning styles. The challenge, however, rests in making differentiation manageable. While few teachers doubt the importance of differentiating, many struggle to make customized learning spaces a reality. In this February 2012 Alaska Staff Development Network webinar, sixth grade classroom teacher, blogger and educational technology author Bill Ferriter will introduce participants to a range of digital tools that can be used to (1). provide structure for differentiated classrooms and (2). differentiate learning experiences by student interest. Digital Differentiation. Technology is a tool that can be used to help teachers facilitate learning experiences that address the diverse learning needs of all students and help them develop 21st Century Skills.
At it's most basic level, digital tools can be used to help students find, understand and use information. When combined with student-driven learning experiences fueled by Essential Questions offering flexible learning paths, it can be the ticket to success. Here is a closer look at three components of effectively using technology as a tool for digital differentiation. Note: The interactive graphics you see below have been updated.

At Forest Lake Elementary School, in Columbia, South Carolina, the student population grows more diverse by the day.
Income levels, ethnicities, family structures, first languages, interests, and abilities now vary so much, that a traditional teaching approach, with a uniform lesson targeted to the average-level student, just doesn't cut it. (Sound familiar to you educators out there?) To challenge and support each child at his or her own level, the Forest Lake teachers and staff are deploying a powerful array of widely available digital-technology tools. Each classroom is equipped with an interactive whiteboard and a Tech Zone of eight Internet-enabled computers.
Plus, teachers have access to gadgets including digital cameras, Flip cameras, remote-response clickers, and PDAs. Centers: Effective Structures for Differentiation. Photo by Woodley Wonder Works This article is written by Katie Haydon, founder of Ignite Creative Learning Studio.

In New York City, where I attended kindergarten through sixth grade, they called the gifted and talented class "SP". I remember being put into a class to learn French, but very little else. I figured out how ahead I was only when I entered junior high school in New Jersey. The French language I had studied for three years allowed me to coast through French class for the next four years. Without anymore "SP" or "G and T" classes, I unfortunately developed a lazy attitude and eventually quit taking French in eleventh grade.

Hopefully we've all had that experience of reading a book that powerfully "spoke" to us, a book whose characters we could relate to, and whose struggles and triumphs we identified with.
Taking this experience a step farther is the strategy of bibliotherapy, the process of helping the reader learn about and cope with any social or emotional struggles or developmental needs by identifying with a character in a book who shares a similar struggle or need. The reading is typically followed up by discussion with a trusted adult. Bibliotherapy of course can be done with all students, particularly students who might be experiencing a divorce in the family, a learning disability, adoption, etc. Today I want to talk a bit about using developmental bibliotherapy specifically with gifted students. A fair amount has been written already (see links at the bottom of this post) about what bibliotherapy is and why it's important to do with gifted students.

HOMEX - Melbourne +++++++++++++++++++++++++ CHIEF FINANCIAL OFFICER'S REVIEW Overview Australia and New Zealand Banking Group Limited (ANZ) recorded an operating profit after tax of $625 million for the half-year ended 31 March 1998. There were no abnormal items. This was an 8% increase on operating profit after tax before abnormals for the corresponding half-year in 1997 and an increase of 6% on operating profit after tax before abnormals for the half-year ended 30 September 1997. The return on shareholders' equity was 17.1% and earnings per share were 41.3 cents. The result reflects good growth over the half-year from the general banking business offset by a lower contribution from investment banking and markets activities. Solid lending growth and stable margins drove a 3% increase in net interest income. Asian volatility adversely affected trading profits, particularly in the first quarter, but benefited foreign exchange income which grew strongly. Operating costs were marginally down. At 59.9%, the cost to income ratio was 3.2% down on 1997 full year. The economic loss provisioning charge has increased, reflecting asset growth and an increase in the risk profile of the Asian portfolio. The Group's aggregate Asian exposure reduced by 33% (38% in US dollar terms in which most of the lending was made) over the six months to 31 March 1998, from $16.0 billion to $10.8 billion (refer page 62). This reduction has been achieved mainly by contracting non-strategic lending, principally in the interbank market. ANZ remains committed to its core services in the region as Australia and New Zealand's international bank and continues to support strategic network and trade relationships across Asia. Following, the Arbitration Award handed down in the Group's favour on 29 March 1997, the National Housing Bank of India (NHB) had the award reviewed by the Special Court (Trial of Offences Relating to Transactions in Securities) at Bombay, which on 4 February 1998 ordered that the award be set aside. ANZ has filed an appeal with the Supreme Court of India seeking that the Special Court's order be set aside. As the matter is sub judice, comment by the parties is limited. The Group has obtained firm legal advice from Senior Counsel and based on that advice no provision has been made in respect of the claim. The directors have decided to increase the interim dividend by 9% from 22 to 24 cents per share. The interim dividend will be 60% franked, with the decline in the franking rate reflecting the level of restructuring costs incurred in Australia to set the foundation for stronger earnings growth next year. We expect franking to remain at this level in the second half, and to increase next year. ANZ is putting a significant effort into addressing the Year 2000 issue. With the assistance of external consultants, all our systems have been analysed and work is underway to develop, implement and test the required changes. Repair and full systems testing of our internal applications are on schedule to be completed and implemented by December 1998. We are an active participant in industry testing programmes. Work is also in progress with external suppliers and customers to address their Year 2000 readiness. The consolidated financial statements reflect the revised measurement approach to the provision charge (refer page 41), as well as changes to accounting policies for operating leases and certain costs representing expenditure reimbursed under a contractual agreement (refer page 30). Prior period data has been restated to ensure comparability. PROFIT AND LOSS Half Half Half year year year Mar 98 Sep 97 Mar 97 $M $M $M Net interest income 1,773 1,719 1,718 Operating expenses (1,737) (1,808) (1,694) Operating profit before debt provisions 1,164 1,021 1,024 Provisions for doubtful debts (237) (203) (197) Income tax expense (298) (223) (243) Outside equity interests (4) (4) (4) Operating profit after income tax Income tax benefit(expense) - abnormal items - 61 (26) Abnormal loss after tax - (116) (31) Operating profit attributable to members of the Company 625 475 549 Net interest income Interest income 4,741 4,710 4,745 Interest expense (2,968) (2,991) (3,027) Net interest income 1,773 1,719 1,718 Interest spread and net interest average margin % % % Gross interest spread 2.36 2.46 2.56 Interest forgone on impaired assets (0.04) (0.06) (0.07) Net interest spread 2.32 2.40 2.49 Interest attributable to net non- interest bearing items 0.63 0.57 0.66 Net interest average margin 2.95 2.97 3.15 Average interest earning assets ($M) 120,757 115,914 109,951 The 3% increase in interest income has been driven by lending growth in Australia, notably in mortgage lending up 5.1%, with the Group being the largest writer of new mortgages in Australia in the half-year, and in the Business Bank up 7.7%. More modest growth in New Zealand was masked by the impact of a weaker New Zealand dollar. Average assets showed solid growth in South Asia and Middle East. Group margins were stable. A small decline was seen in Australian spreads and a more marked decline in New Zealand. This was offset by higher net non-interest bearing liabilities. more to follow 1

FDA looks beyond balance in study of efficacy info
The agency gave notice in a June 16 Federal Register post of a study looking at the presentation of clinical efficacy information in professional labeling and print ads.
"Beyond the balance requirement, limited guidance and research exists to direct or encourage sponsors to present benefit claims that are informative, specific and reflect clinical effectiveness data," said the notice.
The study will look at how presentation of clinical effectiveness information affects both consumer and physician perceptions of safety and efficacy, "and particularly, how consumers make (risk/benefit) judgments in response to variations in the efficacy presentations in the 'display' page of a DTC print ad."
The consumer portion of the study, featuring display pages for fictitious overactive bladder and benign prostatic hyperplasia drugs, will test perceptions of treatment versus prevention claims, placebo data and framing, using "mixed framing," which provides the number of people who did not benefit from the drug as well as the number who did, as well as the single, positive frame typical of data presentation in drug advertising.
"Only a few studies have actually measured this missed approach, although risk communication guides recommend the use of mixed framing to create more accurate perceptions," said the notice.
The physician portion will examine physician perceptions of clinical efficacy information in the prescribing information using varying claim types and placebo rates for the fictitious OAB and BPH drugs.
A public comment period on the study is in effect through August 16.

Yesterday we were left gobsmaked by Zlatan Ibrahimovic's wonder goal against England. Today have a good laugh at one of the game's brightest stars completely stuffing up a penalty.
Ibrahimovic's overhead scissor kick from 30 yards has many calling it one of the best ever goals scored, while other consider it a bit of a fluke. There was no denying the audacity behind the execution.
But perhaps Brazil's 20-year-old star Neymar should have gone the other way, dumping all arrogance and audacity for a clinical finish.
Instead he conjured up arguably the worst penalty miss you will ever see against Colombia in a friendly. And this after he had nailed a brilliant equaliser early in the second half.
This penalty, in the 80th minute, would have given Brazil a seventh successive win.
Instead Neymar took a long and jinking run up and lifted the ball so high over the bar it was in danger of leaving the stadium.
Normally that kind of miss will send the opposing team into raptures of sledging but so shocked were they by the miss that several opponents even consoled the youngster.

Red Wine Stain Removal
We have all experienced a spillage on our clothes or carpet from a glass of red wine. Red wine spillages can spoil a dinner party or embarrass you at a networking event. We don't think red wine stains should be an issue for anyone; with Vanish Napisan Oxi Action you can rest assured getting rid of red wine stains will be easy.
To get those nasty red wine stains out, we recommend using Vanish Gold Oxi Action Powder or Vanish Preen Gold Oxi Action Trigger:
Soaking is recommended for tough stains: Dissolve 30g of Vanish Napisan Oxi Action Powder in 7L of warm water (max 40°) and soak the stained item. For coloured fabrics, soak for a maximum of 2 hours. For whites, soak for a minimum of 2 hours. Then rinse thoroughly or wash as usual with your detergent.
Important: Always follow the usage instructions on the Vanish packaging. Do not use on wool, silk or leather. Do not use on finished or coated surfaces - for example wood, metals etc.
Spray Vanish Preen Oxi Action Trigger directly onto the stained area until saturated. Leave for 1-5 minutes and rub fabric lightly as necessary. Do not let dry on garment. Wash as usual with regular detergent, following the garment care label instructions. For best results treat the stains as soon as possible and apply on both sides.
Important: Always follow the usage instructions on the Vanish packaging. Do not use on wool, silk or leather. Do not use on finished or coated surfaces - for example wood, metals etc.

Red Wine Stain Removal Tips
Our top red wine stain removal tip is this; don't let the stain dry! Red wine will become harder to remove later if you don't treat immediately. We would also encourage you not to dry a stained item until you have managed to remove the red wine stain to your own satisfaction.
Removing Red Wine Stains - Handy Tips
If you don't have a Vanish stain removal product on hand then don't worry. We're still able to provide some handy hints on removing stains. Vanish will help you remove the stains even once they have dried-in.
- Put some salt on the stain as quickly as possible to soak up the red wine. Dab this with a dry cloth. Be careful not to spread the stain round more.
- Remember to try and dab the stain inwards to prevent spreading it, and don't try to rub the red wine stain out with the cloth or you will smear the stain and make it larger.
- Blot the area you have spilled the red wine again with a new paper towel dampened with water. Repeat step 2 if necessary.
Other Useful Stain Removal Tips
Vanish can help get stains out of carpets as well as ensure you successfully remove tea stains and coffee stains.
What Causes Red Wine Stains?
The pigment in wine; an Anthocyanin, is from the skins of the grapes. These anthocyanins are the cause of red wine stains, as they easily attach themselves to any fibrous items. Vanish Oxi Action Powder is formulated to attack these Anthocyanins directly.

Houses and Society in Pompeii and Herculaneum
Few sources reveal the life of the ancient Romans as vividly as do the houses preserved by the eruption of Vesuvius. Wealthy Romans lavished resources on shaping their surroundings to impress their crowds of visitors. The fashions they set were taken up and imitated by ordinary citizens. In this illustrated book, Andrew Wallace-Hadrill explores the rich potential of the houses of Pompeii and Herculaneum to offer new insights into Roman social life. Exposing misconceptions derived from contemporary culture, he shows the close interconnection of spheres we take as discrete: public and private, family and outsiders, work and leisure.
Combining archaeological evidence with Roman texts and comparative material from other cultures, Wallace-Hadrill raises a range of new questions. How did the organization of space and the use of decoration help to structure social encounters between owner and visitor, man and woman, master and slave? What sort of "households" did the inhabitants of the Roman house form? How did the world of work relate to that of entertainment and leisure? How widely did the luxuries of the rich spread among the houses of craftsmen and shopkeepers? Through analysis of the remains of over two hundred houses, Wallace-Hadrill reveals the remarkably dynamic social environment of early imperial Italy, and the vital part that houses came to play in defining what it meant "to live as a Roman."
"Wallace-Hadrill's book now joins the ranks of the revisionist studies [of Pompeian society], but far surpasses them in the breadth of its vision and the fundamental nature of its challenge to the Maiurian orthodoxy. Wallace-Hadrill belongs to a rare breed, the social historian who has an intimate first-hand knowledge of the archaeological evidence; and this book is a fitting witness to the benefits which such a range of interest can bestow. It is a major statement in its field, and will set the agenda for future generations of researchers into Pompeian society."--Roger Ling, Burlington Magazine
"[In] this splendidly illustrated book . . . Wallace-Hadrill argues for a new understanding of urban life in the early [Roman] empire. This book is highly recommended for anyone interested in Greco-Roman study."--Richard S. Ascough, Religious Studies Review

Hits and memory
Page Tools
Angela Hewitt rehearses this week with Richard Tognetti and the Australian Chamber Orchestra at the Conservatorium of Music in Sydney before recording works by Bach.
Photo: Marco Del Grande
The celebrated pianist Angela Hewitt has Bach on the brain, writes Anna King Murdoch.
This week, Canadian pianist Angela Hewitt becomes the first woman to have recorded Bach's entire harpsichord works, played from memory on the piano - a project that has taken 10 years and will result in up to 18 CDs.
Hewitt is regarded internationally as the most original and expressive Bach player of our time. After touring with the Australian Chamber Orchestra in 2003, she chose to complete the last leg of nine keyboard concertos with orchestra.
"I saw their work ethic; how engaged they were, and how they made music together," she says. "I had never heard that in a chamber music group before to that extent."
Though baroque purists abhor the piano for Bach's harpsichord works, Hewitt is sure that the composer would have preferred it. "You can imitate the natural rise and fall of the voice; you can taper the phrase," she says. "Several of these concertos were originally written for violin. It was always expressive music."
The child of a cathedral organist in Ottawa, Hewitt has played Bach from a very early age. But 10 years memorising his works has taught her a lot more about the kind of person he was.
"The most important thing in Bach is the wonderful strong faith he had," she says.
"Whether we have that same personal faith doesn't really matter: it just gives the music great strength and character.
"You can't play Bach without thinking about that. But also there is his great joy in life stemming from his religious faith and his lack of fear of death."
Based in London for the past 20 years, Hewitt is in constant demand as a performer. She hears of people playing her Bach recordings everywhere - even in the operating theatre: "It helps them to focus . . . It helps to clear the mind."
Though she rarely goes to church these days, Hewitt believes each person is born with a gift from "some higher presence", and that "it's up to every person to find out what it is and then to develop it. Nothing is anything - with the discipline to develop." It's a scene played out in Ian McEwen's latest novel Saturday.
No one could know more about the trials and benefits of discipline: "I would have liked to have had a brain measure before I started, to see which side has been developed more," she says. "It would have been a fascinating study for some neurosurgeon."
Now in her mid-40s, Hewitt has noticed a definite improvement in her memory since starting the recordings. "There is nothing more difficult to memorise than Bach. You have up to five lines of music all going at once. When I play a complete Bach recital, I am pretty wracked. That's why a lot of players don't do it, because they're afraid they will forget and not be able to get back on the rails easily."
Her early training set her up for this feat: she learnt to play clearly in two voices, and then in three and four and finally could hear five simultaneously.
"I find piano teachers are throwing four-voice fugues at their students when they have no idea how to play two."
Memorising for the recordings also meant she absorbed the music much more, and was left entirely free to concentrate on the interpretation.
"It's liberating in a way, but 100 times more work."
Later this year, she is touring with a number of two-hour recitals of the complete Book One of Bach's preludes and fugues. These pieces are so complicated that, although she has already memorised them and recorded them, she will have to spend months bringing them back. Hewitt has discovered that the music she learnt before 20 is instantly retrievable.
"That's why, when you see kids wasting their time, I think, 'Go and learn a language, anything, just do something'. My teacher was so smart in that he fed me piece after piece from 15 to 22. I learnt the Goldberg Variations at 16, so it's always there."
Because her first instrument is her mind and body, she protects them with great care. "I try to avoid any drugs at all," she says. "I really have to be in terrible pain before I take a pill. I'll use aromatherapy. I want to keep my body as alert as possible."
About six years ago, she changed her diet, cutting out caffeine, sugar, diary foods and wheat. Oats are one of her mainstays. Always a dancer, she also does pilates and gyrotonics. Now at the peak of her health and mental powers, Hewitt had contemplated another marathon recording - a few years ago she bought all of Scarlatti's 555 sonatas in 11 volumes - but even for her this was too daunting. "I also don't want to be known only as a baroque player."
Instead, she is now turning her extraordinary mind to Beethoven.
Angela Hewitt's Bach concertos, with the Australian Chamber Orchestra, and released by Hyperion, should be available mid-year during her North American tour with the orchestra. She will perform three Bach keyboard concertos, including the Brandenburg Concerto, with the ACO at the Melbourne Concert Hall on Sunday at 2.30pm and Monday at 8pm.
Hewitt will also give a public masterclass on the playing of Bach at the National Academy of Music on Monday from 2pm to 4pm.

New and refurbished roasters, maintenance and service.
The family business of Bussink Machinery International (BMI) has over 25 years of experience in the coffee roaster industry. Located in the Netherlands, they have been servicing customers throughout the world. Since January of this year, they have become a distributor of the Italian coffee roaster and accessory manufacturer, IMF. "The best technology … For the best coffee!"
BMI offers "one man show roasters" from 1kg up to 15kg, used mostly in coffee bars or among enthusiasts that are just beginning to roast coffee. For the larger capacity customers, they provide roasters from 20kgs up to 360 kgs. They offer the machines new, but also refurbished or rebuilt, as well as the full line of auxiliary equipment, for roasting, transport, storing and packing, of your coffee. For the refurbished machines, they also offer custom designed afterburners, and any other extras that might be needed in order to operate at the highest efficiency. "We are all about getting our customers to produce the highest quality coffee possible, and at the same time, doing it consistently." said Jerry Bischoff.
Jerry Bischoff in the United States, met Sander Bussink in New Jersey many years ago while both working on the technical side of coffee roasters. For the past fifteen years he has been a partner at BMI and recently they have together started BMI-North America, which services North, Central and South America. Jerry: "Sander and I both have been around the world servicing and installing roasters, and were always impressed by the Italian machines of Impianti Macchine Fondera (IMF). They are beautiful, robust, efficient, and sustainable pieces of technology. We are proud to have become the distributors for them. We now currently cover Central and Northern Europe and the Americas."
Macchine di grande qualità: Italian IMF began in 1994 with the production of high quality coffee roasters and complete coffee roasting systems. They developed the full equipment needed to be able to roast for small scale shops and large scale factories. For coffee bars with limited space, they developed compact shop roasters that meet all necessary environmental and safety regulations. These burners have the same technology as the larger industrial burners.
Jerry: "The (semi-) automatic models make coffee roasting relatively simple, especially if you want to roast at large volumes. These machines can already be operated after basic training. For customers who like to roast more traditionally and hands-on if I may, IMF has developed some great manual models of their roasters. This allows the customer to be able to play with the roast, and develop their flavors in real time."
All of the IMF roasters, starting at 5kg and up, have a built-in afterburner. Which helps eliminate the emissions coming from the roaster exhaust. Jerry: "IMF has an eye for durability and sustainability. They save on fuel by recirculating the heat generated by the afterburner. This also optimizes the the carbon emissions that finally leave the roaster. We know how environmentally conscious we must be these days, and we need to be able to do something about it. So in the end, we are doing our part to help the environment, as well as helping your wallet."

Former All Blacks coach Laurie Mains has backed NZRU boss Steve Tew's stance on the IRB's financing structures.
Tew warned that the All Blacks may not compete in the 2015 Rugby World Cup, saying the ruling body is set to take a $13.2m hit from the current tournament.
Mains told Radio Sport he has a "great deal of sympathy" for what Tew is saying.
"Why should your major stars be in a debt situation to make money for somebody else? It doesn't really make any sense. That's a simplistic way of looking at it, but there's a whole financial model around rugby, particularly in this country, that is struggling.
"But on the world stage, the All Blacks are the number one attraction and Steve Tew has got a very relevant point."
Mains said Tew's comments - that financially it is not a great decision for New Zealand to attend the next World Cup - was "a very fair and honest statement".
"I think the IRB has a responsibility to listen to those major unions because they are actually what make the World Cup tick. It's not your minnows, who are getting all the money, that make it tick - it is the Big Five."

The Monday after the Bulls 24-12 win over Western Kentucky, USF true freshman Terrence Mitchell was named the BIG EAST Special Teams Player of the Week and RB Demetris Murray was named to the weekly honor roll for his performance. Syracuse running back Delone Carter, and Connecticut linebacker Sio Moore were also winners of the conference's weekly football honors for the week.
Terrence Mitchell racked up 94 yards on just two punt returns during USF's 24-12 win against WKU, averaging 47 yards per punt. The true freshman's returns both led to scoring opportunities for the Bulls, including his 67-yard return in the third quarter that led to a touchdown and sparked the Bulls offense. Mitchell fielded the punt at the USF 20-yard line, cruising and cutting past defenders all the way down to the Western Kentucky 13-yard line, leading to a 1-yard B.J. Daniels touchdown. The 67 yard return was the longest for USF since Theo Wilson had a 67 yard return of in the 2008 opener. Mitchell also had a 27-yard punt return in the first that gave the Bulls possession deep in Western Kentucky territory which led to a missed field goal.
Mitchell is the second current bull to be tabbed Special Teams Player of the Week by the conference. In 2008 USF wide receiver Dontavia Bogan earned Big East Special Teams Player of the Week after racking up 135 yards on two returns, setting the USF single game record for return average of 67.5.
USF sophomore running back Demetris Murray was named to the BIG EAST Honor roll after leading the Bulls with a career-high 115 yards on 15 carries in a 24-12 win against Western Kentucky.
Carter was chosen as BIG EAST Offensive Player of the Week after he ran for a career-high 172 yards on 14 carries and matched his career high with four rushing touchdowns in Syracuse's 42-7 win against Colgate. Carter, who has helped the Orange to their best start since 2003, scored on touchdown runs of 24, 9, 12 and 18 yards and registered his eighth career game with at least 100 rushing yards. Carter ranks third in the BIG EAST in rushing with 104.8 yards per game this season and leads the conference with five rushing touchdowns.
Moore was tabbed as BIG EAST Defensive Player of the Week after he had a game- and career-high 16 tackles with an interception in his first career start to lead Connecticut to a 45-21 win against Buffalo. Moore led a Connecticut defense that limited Buffalo to seven second-half points, allowing the Huskies to break open a game that was tied 14-14 at halftime.

Ok, firstly this is not a moisturiser. It's a treatment that's meant to be used under a moisturiser. Thus, from that perspective I've found it to be great (I'm using it under the Acure Night cream at night, under a moisturising sunscreen during the day). It seems to be evening out my skin and other people have commented that it looks clearer - which is great because I don't wear makeup on a daily basis. For me, it appears to be working best when I put it directly onto clean skin then wait 5-10 minutes before putting on my regular moisturiser.

I absolutely love this cream. This is my second tube. I have quite pale skin with some light freckles, minor pigmentation and some chicken pox scars. For me, this cream seems to give my skin an even coating and sheen. It makes it look a lot more even. Elsewhere, I have bought it for nearly double the price I paid here and it was still good value!

For me, this cream didn't improve my skin. I just finished the whole tube and I saw no improvement. I still have discoloration and acne. The scent is really strong and I don't really like it. I use this as a daily moisturizer and it doesn't even moisturize really well. I won't buy it again, it's not a bad product since it didn't cause me any bad effect but it is not good either. I don't really recommend
I think some freckles are faded

I use this every morning under my moisturizer, on the nose and upper cheeks, where I was beginning to get pigmentation. The cream absorbs very well (you only need a little) leaving the skin sort of dry, but not unpleasant. and it seems to be clearing up my pigmentation! After a few weeks my cheeks started itching so I stopped using it for now.

Figures show the total value of Harris County's commercial and residential property is up this year, but only by a little over one-and-a-half percent.
As for home values, Chief Appraiser Jim Robinson says most residents didn't see a change, but over 30 percent of homeowners saw the value of their property decline. Robinson says there's been a high number of foreclosures in northeast, southeast, and east Harris County, and that brings down properly values in nearby neighborhoods.
"What we have to do, if the foreclosed property is similar in quality to the houses that weren't foreclosed, the law says we have to treat those as market transactions."
And while the rate of foreclosures is starting to slow, Robinson says lending institutions still have a lot of foreclosed properties on their books.
"We're going to have to let all that bubble clear out before that quits being any influence on the market."
Some homeowners, about 10 percent, did see values rise. That was mainly in the Memorial area along I-10.
But where do the numbers go from here? Robinson says he's expecting modest increases and a lot of that has to do with new residential developments.
"We saw hardly none in the last two years, but we are seeing a little uptick in the number of platted subdivision and new housing starts, but it's still not up to historic levels."
Figures show the total value of Harris County residential and commercial property now stands at close to $280 billion. Local governments will now use that appraisal information to set property tax rates.
