Treatment-Im currently using Metrogel 1%/500mg tetracycline everynite for past 4 months and results have been ok but isnt enough. I have melasma & skin is sensitive to harsh stuf.

How long will results last?
Best Laser Treatment for Rosacea Redness?
Doctor Answers 10
Which treatment is better for rosacea?
Antibiotics and topical rosacea medications work much better on papules or pustules, and don't really do a great job with diffuse redness.
For the type of diffuse redness you have IPL should work well. Make sure you are off the tetracycline if you decide to have any laser treatments, as tetracycline makes your skin more sensitive to light.
For discrete visible blood vessels, NdYAG or pulse dye laser would probably be better.
Also, it's necessary to control factors that aggravate rosacea. That includes everything that warms up the face, like hot showers, direct sunlight, spicy foods, hot drinks, alcohol, and even exercise.
With exercise, I recommend that my patients apply a washcloth or paper towel with cool water to the face right after exercise to help shrink down the dilated blood vessels.
Once the rosacea is treated, it is possible that the melasma may become more apparent because the redness of the rosacea is helping mask it somewhat.
Excel V 532nm - Most vascular-specific laser
Laser for Rosacea
My patients have achieved impressive results with our state-of-the-art lasers and/or intense pulsed light therapy; these treatments help to remove the visible blood vessels from the face—clearing up redness and dramatically improving the overall look of skin.

Rosacea Treatment with IPL
Dear NM575:
IPL treatment works effectively to reduce signs of redness but it is important to remember to decrease exposure to triggers or precipitants including alcohol, stress, anxiety, caffeine, etc. Hope this information helps.

V Beam by Syneron Candella is my choice
Sometimes I use the 755 Alex with DCD cooling for resistant blood vessels on the nose.
Rarely I use the 1064 nm long pulse laser for blood vessels, sometimes I use this in 'paint mode'.
Some of my older rosacea patients prefer IPL rather than V Beam, so this is another non- laser option for redness.
As for LED therapy- I use it very rarely, results are not as predicable, nor as effective as laser.

We specialize in treating rosacea
First- you must make sure your doctor is treating your rosacea correctly. Constant use of antibiotics ends up making rosacea worse in the long run.
For the redness of rosacea, A PDL (laser) can also be used very well but needs to be repeated once per month to help control it. Sunscreen and avoiding heat/saunas, etc also help with the redness.

Rosacea Treatments
I have had great success treating patients with Rosacea with my Cynosure/Palomar ICON with the MaxG head. It gives great results. The results last for many months. It is variable patient to patient in terms of how long it will last. It is a chronic disease so yearly touch ups may be needed.
Treating Rosacea: A Safe Effective Treatment with LimeLight IPL
Rosacea can be a frustrating and embarrassing skin problem! Don't hesitate to consider IPL treatments to correct and maintain smooth, even skin color. We have great success with Cutera's Limelight laser and when the vascular lesions are deeper, we use the CoolGlide to eliminate the broken veins and capillaries.
Clearing Rosacea With the Vbeam laser
For Rosacea, I would recommend the V-beam laser over IPL. The difference between a laser and a light based therapy like IPL is that each laser only uses one specialized wavelength to do a specific job. IPL uses several.
The V-beam laser uses the 595nm wavelength which is easily absorbed by hemoglobin in the blood vessels. This is how it enters the vessels in order to seal them up.
The body will then dispose of this waste tissue which clears the redness from your skin. Results are permanent because the laser is actually getting rid of the blood vessels causing the redness. Here is a video of a patient who had V-beam treatments on his chest to get rid of his Rosacea.
Learn more: http://www.finetouchdermatology.com/los-angeles-rosacea/
Would suggest the VBeam laser...IPL isn't a laser...
while both may help, the likelihood of significant improvement is greater with the laser (VBeam)...works quickly and effectively...you should see results in the immediate future and without side effects...and avoid both excessive sun (wear a hat) and heat...

Yorkshire Terriers, affectionately known as "Yorkies," offer big personalities in a small package. Though members of the Toy Group, they are terriers by nature and are brave, determined, investigative and energetic. They have long, luxurious blue and tan coats. This portable pooch is one of the most popular breeds according the AKC® Registration Statistics.
A Look Back
Named for the English city from which they originally hail, Yorkshire Terriers were used in the nineteenth century to catch rats in clothing mills. Surprisingly enough, in its beginnings, the Yorkie belonged to the working class, especially the weavers; in fact, facetious comments were often made about how the dogs' fine, silky coats were the ultimate product of the looms. Eventually, the breed left the workforce and became a companion animal to families of European high society.
Right Breed for You?
Yorkies are easily adaptable to all surroundings, travel well and make suitable pets for many homes. Due to their small size, they require limited exercise, but need daily interaction with their people. Their long coat requires regular brushing.
Puppies are born black and tan and are normally darker in body color, showing an intermingling of black hair in the tan until they are matured. Color of hair on body and richness of tan on head and legs are of prime importance in adult dogs, to which the following color requirements apply: Blue: Is a dark steel-blue, not a silver-blue and not mingled with fawn, bronzy or black hairs. Tan: All tan hair is darker at the roots than in the middle, shading to still lighter tan at the tips. There should be no sooty or black hair intermingled with any of the tan.

Sherman Library and Gardens
Sherman Library & Gardens is a 2.2 acre Corona del Mar horticultural retreat. The Gardens provide a museum of living plants, displayed amidst a setting of immaculate gardens, patios and conservatories linked together by wide brick walkways, beds blooming with seasonal flowers and bubbling tile fountains.
The botanical collections of the Gardens, in their geographical origins, span the globe..... ranging from plant life of the desert regions to exotic vegetation of tropical climes.
The Gardens provide a museum of living plants, displayed amidst a setting of fountains and sculptures and an abundance of seasonal flowers. The Gardens provide a tranquil environment simply to be enjoyed for the beauty or, if desired, a place to observe and study firsthand plant life from various parts of the world.
The Cactus and Succulent Garden surrounds a large California pepper tree. Stepping inside the warm, moist Tropical Conservatory with orchids, heliconias and gingers in full bloom is like a visit to the Pacific Islands. And don't forget to check out the size of the koi: there are more than a dozen of the carp. The Rose Garden features an array of colorful and scented blooming plants, while the cool atmosphere of the Fern Grotto exhibits the bold greenery of several forty-year-old hanging staghorn ferns. A bo tree, considered sacred by Hindus and Buddhists, resides in the Japanese Garden. The Herb Garden boasts a variety of herbs, including chocolate and orange-mint, tri-color and society garlic.
While the botanical garden has its technical importance, colorful annuals are emphasized with the seasonal changing of several large flower beds and containers throughout the Gardens. The mild coastal climate is ideal for maintaining an abundant variety of flowering plants all year long.
Horticulturists and avid gardeners find Sherman Gardens a paradise. Though the plant collections are quite broad in scope, the design of the gardens enables visitors to view this botanical diversity in a reasonably short time. Many plants are labeled as to their place of origin and their generic family and common names.

8% Of The Pre-Great Recession Workforce Still MIA
Last edited Sun Oct 7, 2012, 03:43 PM - Edit history (1)
Indexed per capita inflation adjusted income for employee compensation (blue line) and Indexed employment population ratio (red line)
Likely our averaged and homogenized data is missing the point - the USA economy is screwed up because 8% of the pre-recession workforce has been vaporized (the red line on the above graph is currently at 92% of the pre-recession peak).
If one is on social security, in some other social safety net, employed, or the 0.001% - the new normal may not that bad. You may pity the jobless, but you may be missing the reality that 8% loss of jobs caused the economy to lose 8% of its prime driver - Joe "the consumer" Sixpack. With over 2/3rds of the economy consumer driven, the solution is obvious - create 24 million jobs.
Since the end of World War II, the economy has not been faced with such a large employment slack.
We will leave the exploring up to you, but it is remarkable to note that the 65 and over was the only segment to experience a rising Labor Force Participation Rate. Seniors are rejoining (or never leaving) the working ranks. This might be due to the economic hardship, the desire to continue working, pension shortfalls, etc. We will be addressing the pension issue very soon. There are many more observations, but well leave it at that.

13. Across the history of work, skill shifts have caused under-employment.
That is a reality of life and has been for the duration of humankind and work. The industrial revolution idled workers that had no skill other than their muscle and backs. The invention of the automobile idled workers that had skills suitable for the era of the horse and buggy. In both those changes, a percentage of workers were underemployed. I am one that think full employment is impossible, what we have to do as a society is have the fortunate share more with the unfortunate, but that model will work only if the fortunate are mandated to share and the unfortunate use the lifeline wisely.

12. Or that the largest workforce in USA history is retiring at a fast rate. nt
I do agree on technology. Technology will make our lives better on average, but will be brutal on the poorly educated or poorly skilled. I have pondered how humankind will utilize technology without having massive pools of unemployed. The only solution that I can think of involves those that profit from the use of technology giving up some of their gains to help those negatively impacted by technology retrain for jobs that are in demand or for anticipated job fields. In addition, fewer babies must be produced, with the best path for that being some people choosing to remain childless, while those that do have children don't have more than two.

I have a pretty well trained technical mind. What I see in your graph that wages and employment were on a free-fall leading up to the time Obama took office. Wages and employment stabilized during Obama first years and now wages are increasing while employment remains far more stable than it was under Bush.
Why don't you spend your energy writing about the unprecedented obstruction that President Obama has faced from republicans any time the President has tried to make policy that helps every day americans?

NEW management has taken over a Chipping Sodbury real ale pub which closed on Boxing Day.
The Grapes shut its doors the day after Christmas after former landlords Gill and Dave Dyer said the rent had risen to an unaffordable rate.
But the pub, the oldest in the medieval market town, reopened on New Year's Eve under new management.
Landlord Damien Mountford is now running the bar with partners Sam Postlehwaite and Kerri Tolhurst working behind the scenes.
Mr Postlehwaite told the Gazette: "We did as much as we could to make sure we could reopen on New Year's Eve.
"We have lots of things planned but want to let people know that we are open and to give us a go."
He said they hoped to become a Campaign for Real Ale (CAMRA) recognised pub again and plan to introduce live music nights by the end of January.
"We will be having open mic nights before then," said Mr Postlehwaite. "We are trying to get people back in as many locals thought we had closed.
"We have very much kept it as an old English pub as this is what works and what the customers seem to like.
"We took over the grapes because with so many good English pubs closing their doors we felt that we just couldn't let another one shut."
He said the team wished the Dyers, who have turned their wine and tapas bar across the road in the former Vicker's Stationers into a pub, the best of luck.
Added Mr Postlehwaite: "We would hope that we can be given the chance to prove ourselves to the community of Chipping Sodbury and to all new and old customers of the grapes."
Dave and Gill opened The Grapes in August 2010 and quickly turned the pub into a popular watering hole for locals and real ale fans. The pub became the first in Chipping Sodbury to be entered into the CAMRA guide for the South West, where it remained for two years.
Mr Dyer said they were disappointed to have to close but the rent just kept rising. "It is such a shame," he told the Gazette before Christmas. "We don't want to go but we just can't afford the rent."
The couple's wine bar has now been remodelled as a pub serving real ales and ciders.
Said Mr Dyer: "It is great, we were packed on New Year's Eve and have been busy every night.
"We are much happier here. We want to say thank you to Mike Sheriff and Alan Farington, who helped build the bar and renovate the building, and all the people who helped move us across the road."
He said the bar is expected to be called The Horseshoe as it is stands at the end of Horseshoe Lane and a property nearby used to be called Horseshoe Cottage.
The Grapes sign, owned by the Dyers, has been moved to their establishment. Mr Postlehwaite said the pub would keep the name and a new sign, depicting the pub as a historic watering hold, is being made up.

London market report
London share prices crashed in late trading as fears of a global recession gripped the market and Wall Street shares plunged when the US stock market opened.
The FTSE 100 index of leading shares ended the day down more than 2%, or 101.7 points at 4648.7.
The index is now at its lowest close since June 30 1997.
A sharp fall in US shares in early trading on Wall Street caused stocks to tumble in London.
Disappointment over the lack of concrete action at the weekend by financial officials of the G7 group of leading industrial nations knocked investors' confidence in the markets.
Growing concerns that Japan's banking problems are worse than first thought also contributed to the market malaise.
Even the prospect of a cut in UK interest rates on Thursday failed to stem the decline in stock prices.
"International factors have again set the tone. I'm not even sure a UK interest rate cut will be enough to prop up the equity market at the moment," said one UK dealer.
Treasury bond yields fell to a record low, as the flight to safety continued.
IT stocks fell sharply, mirroring a fall on the US Nasdaq index of hi-technology stocks.
Sema fell 8.3% and Logica 9.4%.

Anil Ambani has formally taken control of four companies demerged from Indian powerhouse Reliance Industries which he controls with brother Mukesh.
The two brothers agreed to break up Reliance, one of India's largest companies, last year to end a bitter seven-month dispute between the two.
As recently as Saturday, the two rowed over the process of dividing the firm.
Anil Ambani had accused elder brother Mukesh of deliberately delaying the transfer of four companies, which are to be listed separately on India's leading stock markets.
However, it emerged on Tuesday that the process had been completed following a board meeting that neither brother attended.
"All issues relating to ownership, control and transfer of shares have been resolved," Sandeep Tandon, a Reliance director, said.
Under the terms of their split, Mukesh Ambani will control the oil, gas and petrochemicals business, while Anil Ambani oversees telecoms, electricity and the group's finance arm.
Reliance was founded 46 years ago by one of India's most famous entrepreneurs, Dhirubhai Ambani, to trade in polyester yarn.
The feud started following Dhirubhai Ambani's death in 2002.

Moscow (RIA Novosti) Mar 01, 2013
The 325-meter (1,066-foot) asteroid 99942 Apophis, that will safely fly by the Earth in 2029 and 2036, may strike the planet in 2068, according to an article published on the NASA website.
The chances of it striking Earth are slim, however, with impact odds being about 2.3 in a million.
The near-Earth asteroid has been the focus of considerable attention after it was discovered in December 2004 to have a significant probability of Earth impact in April 2029.
While the 2029 potential impact was ruled out through the measurement of archival telescope images, the possibility of a potential impact in the years after 2029 continues to prove difficult to rule out.
Based on optical and radar position measurements made in 2004-2012, the asteroid will pass the Earth in 2029 at an altitude of 31900, give or take 750 km. The altitude is close enough for the Earth's gravity to deflect the asteroid onto a trajectory that brings it back to an Earth impact during its next flyby.
Such impact trajectories require Apophis to pass the Earth at a precise altitude, known as a keyhole, in 2029 en route to a subsequent impact.
"The new report, which does not make use of the 2013 radar measurements, identifies over a dozen keyholes that fall within the range of possible 2029 encounter distances," reads an article prepared by a group of scientists led by Davide Farnocchia.
The uncertainty in predicting the asteroid's position in 2029 is completely dominated by the so-called Yarkovsky effect, a subtle non-gravitational perturbation due to thermal re-radiation of solar energy absorbed by the asteroid.
"Only one of the potential impacts has a probability of impact greater than 1-in-a-million; there is a 2-meter wide keyhole that leads to an impact in 2068, with impact odds of about 2.3 in a million."

About MeMy names Stephani friends call me Tessa :) I am very new to modeling and I am unexperienced, but I hope that will soon change. Obviously, my pictures are not professionally taken but hopefully this will help give an idea of my style. I have always been very interested in modeling, yet have never had the opportunity to actually do it. I do have some tattoos one on my forearm, and a small quarter sleeve. My style is more of the edgy look but love having fun and being creative with different looks. I would love to gain more photo shoot opportunities from this site as well as model experience.
I am willing to shoot anything that does not involve nudity or blatantly sex oriented concepts.
Message me if you are interested in shooting! =)
*Note* As of April 2013 I have been really busy with school so if I don't respond to your messages right away I apologize in advance! ty

I'm Linda Wertheimer. STEVE INSKEEP, HOST: And I'm Steve Inskeep. Congress threatened itself with punishment if it failed to act. Lawmakers promised automatic spending cuts if a special committee failed to reduce the deficit. Now that they have failed, some want a way out of the punishment with which they had threatened themselves. This may be just one more episode in a long fight over taxes and spending, as we hear from NPR's Ari Shapiro.

Latest Egypt Protest Attracts Islamists, Secular Activists By editor • Nov 18, 2011 Virtually all of Egypt's post-revolutionary political parties are planning major demonstrations in Cairo and other cities today in what amounts to a test of wills with the ruling military council over the direction of the country.

As many know, Ike was an Army general and President Dwight D. Eisenhower. Tail Gunner Joe may not be so familiar unless you're from his hometown of Appleton, Wis., or you're old enough to remember the uber-controversial Sen. Joseph R. McCarthy, (R-Wis).
Tail Gunner Joe was what McCarthy supporters called the burly war veteran. He's also the guy we can thank for the term McCarthyism, which is another way of saying Salem Witch Trials. His congressional hearings into alleged communists in government was an intense national debate of the 1950s. Many on the right applauded his aggressive outing of the dreaded "commie conspiracy." Many others, including veteran news-guy Edward R. Morrow, saw McCarthy as a dangerous junk-yard demagogue whose wild and unfounded charges did nothing but destroy people's lives without ever finding one so-called fifth-column Communist spy in the government.
As a result of the recent Elevating Ike piece on The Huffington Post, several readers report they cannot forgive President Eisenhower's moral and political failure to speak out and repudiate McCarthy. Ike, they claim, did not want to offend the Senator's cheering supporters, also know as the GOP's conservative base. This has been a prevailing negative take on Eisenhower for years.
That is NOT how it went down with Ike, according to Jim Newton's excellent new audiobook and print biography, Eisenhower: The White House Years. Ike did not want the presidency diminished by tangling with McCarthy -- think "gutter." Worried that the senator was gaming for the presidency, Ike vowed to deny him. "He's the last guy in the world to ever get there, if I have anything to say about it," he said. He continued to avoid even using McCarthy's name, instead issuing vague references to "book burning." But this just wasn't enough to satisfy the president's critics. What people did not know at the time was how Ike actually did to handle the McCarthy problem.
Throughout his presidency, Ike often used covert action to get rid of pesky enemies. Iran and Guatemala's leaders both lost their countries due to Ike's secret CIA operations. The Cuban Bay of Pigs operation was hatched in the Eisenhower administration. With McCarthy causing so much embarrassment for the president, Ike played his hidden hand. He deftly "encouraged" the Republican-controlled senate to hold the nationally televised Army-McCarthy hearings. The country was riveted by them. In the dawn of TV and its unknown impact, McCarthy's scowling 5-o'clock-shadowed face, his arid, unrelenting bully tactics did not play well on our black-and-white TVs. Ike understood what others did not: Exposing McCarthy on television would do McCarthy in. And it did. The ugly, revealing televised hearings of 1954 essentially ended the senator's influence and a few years later he was gone -- literally. He died three years later. His No. 1 staffer, Roy Cohen, went on to have his own, uhhh... combative career and ended up as a starring character in Tony Kushner's Pulitzer Prize-winning drama, Angels in America: A Gay Fantasy on National Themes.
To Eisenhower's critics, the way he handled the whole McCarthy affair may have its roots in lessons learned on the plains of West Point and the battle fields of WW II: sometimes a flanking movement is better than a frontal assault.

Anthony Weiner Aide Trashes Intern, Call Her The C-Word & "Slutbag"
Interns! You've got to keep an eye on them* or else they blab secrets that end on the front page of The New York Daily News.
Well, maybe you do when you're on the beleagured Anthony Weiner mayoral campaign. Ex-Weiner intern Olivia Nuzzi landed on the front cover of the Daily News yesterday under the headline, "People only work for Weiner to get to Hillary and Huma." In the piece, Nuzzi explained how Weiner's staff is just riding Carlos Danger's coattails to get access to his wife Huma Abedin, a former top aide to Hillary Clinton, in hopes that they could get plum gigs if Hill runs for president in 2016.
Awkward? A little bit. But not as awkward as when the Weiner communications director Barbara Morgan went off on a reporter for Talking Points Memo, trashing Nuzzi as a "slutbag," "twat," "cunt," and fame-hungry "bitch" who "sucked" at her job.
Nuzzi's expose, which got her a byline in the Daily News, made no mistake that Weiner's team doesn't really have faith in him — but they do have faith in Huma Abedin:
"I'm here because of Huma," Clay Adam Wade, a junior staffer, explained to me.
The sentiment was repeated to me again by some fellow interns.
Their hope was to make a connection with Weiner's wife, Huma Abedin, and thus forge a potential connection to her longtime boss, Hillary Clinton, to get an inside track for a campaign position if she ran for president in 2016.
The piece goes on with more, less-juicy tidbits about Weiner, like how he sucks at remembering people's names and the campaign is allegedly underpaying staffers. But the damage was done. When a TPM reporter called Weiner's communications director to discuss "an unrelated story," Morgan blasted the former intern — who quit after one month — in a "curse-filled rant," calling Nuzzi a "cunt," "twat," "slutbag," and "bitch." She also threatened to sue her. Morgan ranted:
I'm dealing with like stupid fucking interns who make it on to the cover of the Daily News even though they signed NDAs and/or they proceeded to trash me. And by the way, I tried to fire her, but she begged to come back and I gave her a second chance. … Fucking slutbag. Nice fucking glamour shot on the cover of the Daily News. Man, see if you ever get a job in this town again. … It's all bullshit. I mean, it's such bullshit. She could fucking — fucking twat."
Unprofessionalism all around. No one looks good in this situation. And while I can understand Morgan's frustration (it has been a bad couple of weeks), this barrage of sexualized, gender-specific slurs is not a good look for this campaign. Maybe Olivia Nuzzi did suck at being an intern. She certainly sucks at discretion.
But as long as she didn't suck Anthony Weiner, I think it's a net positive here, right?
*Except The Frisky's interns. You rock, Mary, Alyson and Daley!

Rarely do we know what influences a politician's decision about what policy issues will define them.
Bob Hawke saw starving children at the gates of an Indian palace as a 23-year-old. Was this what made him promise some 35 years later that under his government "no child would live in poverty"? Or was it some other private experience that made childhood poverty resonate with Hawke so much?
We do know, however, that Kevin Rudd's summer reading influenced one of his legacy issues. Rudd read Nobel laureate James Heckman's research showing that when children have an early childhood education they are less likely to engage in criminal acts or become pregnant as teens, and are more likely to have higher incomes and better health as adults.
Rudd was so impressed he made this his first election promise. He wanted every Australian child to be able to access 15 hours per week of early childhood education - delivered by a qualified early childhood education teacher - in the year before they started school.
He wanted the teachers trained in "the things that are important in shaping our littlies as they head off into the school system later", such as "pre-literacy, pre-numeracy and play-based learning".
Once he gained power, he convinced every state and territory government to sign up to the National Partnership Agreement on Universal Access to Early Childhood Education, backed by $970 million of funding to the states over a five-year period.
In the way of so many promises, there was, of course, a gulf between the promise and the practice.
By 2012 the ACT, which had undertaken a staged rollout across all preschools, was reporting that it had increased the percentage of children accessing the fabled 15 hours from 13.7 per cent in 2009 to 69 per cent. Victoria and South Australia were reporting they were on target for 92 per cent by 2013. NSW figures were not reported.
Nonetheless, all states and territories were working towards ensuring their youngest citizens had access to the magic bullet that would make them healthy, wealthy and wise later on.
The 2013-14 budget provided an additional $660 million to extend the universal access partnership until December 31, 2014.
Since the partnership was signed, evidence has also shown the benefits of early education for children's later academic success. University of Melbourne research proved children who participated in early education, led by early childhood teachers, scored 20 to 30 points higher on their first NAPLAN tests in primary school.
In 2012, Program for International Student Assessment tests showed students who had an early childhood education were ahead by as much as 12 months academically over their peers at the age of 15.
Early education may be a magic bullet, but the knowledge of this was unlikely to sway a government looking for budget savings in every nook and cranny.
The state and territory governments were understandably concerned when Sussan Ley, the Commonwealth Assistant Minister for Education, said she didn't believe funding preschool to be a Commonwealth responsibility.
Will early childhood education become another victim of Commonwealth budget cuts?
A communique issued after a meeting last Friday of state and Commonwealth education ministers was silent on the subject, despite several state education ministers (Adrian Piccoli from NSW and Jennifer Rankine from South Australia, along with Victorian Premier Denis Napthine) pushing for the continuation of the funding.
South Australia has made it clear it will need to cut the number of hours children can attend preschool unless the funding extension is granted.
In NSW, where fewer children have access to a preschool education in the first place and where fees are the highest, the impact of the loss of funding would hit especially hard.
The median cost per hour of preschool in NSW in 2012 was $4.71, compared with $1.77 per hour in Victoria. In 2012 only 64.7 per cent of NSW children attended a preschool program at all in the year before school, compared with 100 per cent of children in Tasmania and the ACT, 99 per cent in Victoria and Western Australia, and 93 per cent in South Australia.
We know conclusively that although all children benefit from early education, disadvantaged children benefit the most.
In 2011 57.1 per cent of children under two years old were read to at home from a book or told a story each day; 19.8 per cent had no activities like this at home. Preschool education helps close that literacy gap.
Will Ley and her cabinet colleagues continue funding early childhood education? If early education activists had the foresight to take a young Ley to a disadvantaged community so she could have been moved by how much early learning can shape the life of a child whose destiny is otherwise limited, she may well have decided to make access to early childhood education her political legacy. If they had, the funding would possibly not be in doubt now.
Lisa Bryant is a consultant in the early education and care sector and is the NSW convenor of Australian Community Children's Services.

PRIVATE internet users and businesses are being urged to show their support for faster broadband in South Gloucestershire by completing an online survey.
The questionnaire is designed to help demonstrate the marked demand for a high-speed connection in the region.
The information gathered will be used as evidence to encourage operators to invest in the local broadband infrastructure as part of a scheme being prepared by South Gloucestershire Council.
Under the plans, central government and council funding will be awarded to a contractor to install faster internet in areas that would not normally be attractive to commercial suppliers.
The council's executive member for corporate affairs, John Goddard, said: "Ensuring our residents and businesses have access to a fast, reliable and affordable broadband service is a priority for South Gloucestershire Council.
"Better broadband provision will allow local businesses to prosper and will improve the quality of life for residents.
"This is a complex project involving a wide number of partners and council officers have already carried out a great deal of preparatory work on South Gloucestershire's bid for funding during the last year."
He added: "The more businesses and local people that take part in the survey, the stronger the case for investment and the more attractive the contract will be for potential commercial suppliers.
"I urge everyone with a desire for faster broadband to make their wishes known."
The council is currently finalising its submission to the government's Broadband Delivery UK (BDUK) scheme, which will distribute a total of £530 million in funding across the country.
It is hoped that the district will be among the first to have its funding approved by BDUK during 2012.
The survey can be accessed on the council website at southglos.gov.uk/broadband

Teen Undertaker
7.30pm, Channel 4
It speaks volumes about our uneasy attitude to death that the job of undertaker is seen as "not normal", whereas it's really no more uncommon a profession than, say, driving a bus, working in sales or reviewing TV shows. Laura and Paul are two young aspiring funeral directors; there's nothing weird about them, they just want to do the best job possible for the family of the bereaved and the deceased. The narration isn't too snide, although they do drop the clanger "stiff competition", but that may have been accidental, and it's nice to see a show that doesn't demonise teens.
Roger and Val Have Just Got In,
10pm, BBC2
Dawn French and Alfred Molina's dour "comedy" spent half an hour on a row about a fridge last week; tonight, it's about the dining room curtains – though of course, it turns into something much more meaningful than whether the fabric is hanging correctly. Despite the intimacy of the home setting and the real-time unfolding of events, it's been hard to feel connected to Roger and Val. It's all so stagey and ever-so-slightly pleased with itself.
Pete Versus Life
10pm, Channel 4
Sitcoms about men in their 20s seem to arrive at the conclusion that their characters might be buffoons but, at bottom, they're decent guys. Not so Pete Versus Life: since episode one Pete (Rafe Spall) has been lurching from strong lager to furtive bunk-up with some gusto, wonderfully unconcerned about the consequences of his actions. Tonight's episode pits Pete against some strong opposition when he becomes involved with an older woman whom he meets at an art auction. What will summarisers Colin and Terry make of his performance?
BBC Proms 2010
7.30pm, BBC4
The 75th birthday of Estonian composer Arvo Pärt is celebrated with the first British performance of his Fourth Symphony. It's part of an audaciously diverse programme of modern classical music for the Philharmonia Orchestra and its Finnish conductor Esa-Pekka Salonen. They'll also be attempting Foundry, a 1920s celebration of industrial labour by Soviet composer Alexander Mosolov, a piece by Mosolov's symbolist compatriot Scriabin – and, with the assistance of acclaimed French pianist Jean-Efflam Bavouzet, Ravel's legendarily tricky Concerto for the Left Hand. Suzy Klein presents.
Madness – T In The Park
9.20pm, BBC4
A storming, hits-filled set from Camden's finest, although the pinnacle of their festival work this year looks like being their reported locking of Calvin Harris in a portable toilet at Camp Bestival. While the humour in their sharp songs means they will probably never be regarded as the classic band they clearly are, you'll be hard pressed to find anyone at their shows, either on stage or in the audience, without a massive grin plastered across their face. There's added chat and backstage footage as they get nutty in the park.
10pm, FX
If life wasn't complicated enough as a serial killer on a mission, the fourth season of Dexter finds the pathologist/murderer trying to balance his killing commitments with the demands of fatherhood. Of course, there are comic moments here – the sleep-deprived parody of the iconic title sequence among them – but the keynote remains sinister. Much of this is down to John Lithgow's "Trinity Killer" – a figure only retired Agent Bundy actually believes exists.

In the summer of 2003 I found this curious wooden fence in the northeast corner of Jewish Graceland - the most secluded part of the overgrown north section. The fence is a haphazard structure of rough branches, and there were two segments visible at right angles to one another.
Its purpose is unknown. One possibility is that it was built by a movie studio filming on location - if anyone has seen a film with such a fence, made in 2003 or just before, please send me the information.

NFL: Jamaal Charles signs new deal Kansas City Chiefs
By Paul Higham Twitter: @SportsPaulH
Last Updated: 24/07/14 5:34pm
The Kansas City Chiefs have avoided a holdout from star running back Jamaal Charles after handing him a new two-year contract extension.
Charles still had two years to run on his current deal, which would have paid him almost $4m, but he was looking like he would stay away from pre-season training camp in search of a new contract.
The potential hold out situation did not last long though, as the two parties agreed on a fresh two-year extension and restructuring package which will more than double his income for this season.
A further $18m has been added to his contract, with Charles now bringing in just over $8m this coming season – making him the second highest paid back in the league behind only Adrian Peterson.
As much as Peterson is the talisman for Minnesota, Charles is becoming the same for the Chiefs, especially last season when he almost single-handedly carried their offence on his shoulders.
The 27-year-old topped the team charts in rushing yards (1,287) and touchdowns (12), along with receiving yards (693) and touchdowns (7) – with his 19 TDs overall also a league-leading mark.
Pro Bowl
Stats like those led to Charles picking up a third Pro Bowl selection in his sixth season in the NFL, and he is well on the way to becoming one of the best all-round running backs of all time.
''Jamaal is an elite player in the National Football League,'' Chiefs general manager John Dorsey said in a statement. ''It was important for us to keep him here in Kansas City long-term.''
With Charles now signed up, the Chiefs now have to turn their attentions to starting quarterback Alex Smith and linebacker Justin Houston, who are both coming into the final year of their contracts.
Smith started last season with nine straight wins as the Chiefs made the play-offs, and so far the 30-year-old has been at practice and minicamp and is seemingly calm over his situation.
Houston has not been at the Chiefs' pre-season so far, but is expected to report for training camp, with the 25-year-old looking for a new deal after a second straight Pro Bowl season where he had 11 sacks in 11 games.

13th Annual Game Developers Choice Awards To Honor 'The Art Of Video Games'
The 13 th Annual Game Developers Choice Awards (GDCA), the peer-awarded highest honors in video game development, have revealed the recipients of the remaining two of its Special Awards the Pioneer Award, given to developers for creating breakthrough video game genres or concepts, and the Ambassador Award, given to those who have helped the game industry advance to a better place.
The Pioneer Award will be given to Steve Russell for his creation of the legendary game Spacewar!, one of the earliest functioning titles anda vital precursor of early computer games of the '70s and onwards.
The Ambassador Award will be given to Chris Melissinos for his work curating "The Art of Video Games," an exhibition at the Smithsonian American Art Museum in 2012. The exhibit explored the 40-year evolution of video games showcased as an artistic medium.
The third special award, for Lifetime Achievement, has been previously announced as going to BioWare founders Dr. Ray Muzyka and Dr. Greg Zeschuk.
In 1962, Steve "Slug" Russell, a computer programmer working for the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), invented Spacewar!, the first popular and earliest known digital computer game. Throughout the years, Russell's iconic computer game generated multiple imitations including Asteroids, a popular and now classic arcade title.
Russell produced the concept and first version of Spacewar! in 200 hours with a team of four people. He wrote Spacewar! on a Programmed Data Processor-1 (PDP-1), an early Digital Equipment Corporation (DEC) minicomputer that allowed two users to share the computer simultaneously. Russell's work on this seminal game and use of the original PDP-1 computer influenced technological advances and gave rise to the cultural phenomenon of video games; Spacewar! created a model for game development, establishing shooting as a core game mechanic, and inspired space and science fiction themes for future games.
"More than 50 years ago Steve blew the world's minds with Spacewar! and the game's influence is pervasive throughout the industry, from cornerstone arcade titlesto the team-based model of game development," said Meggan Scavio, general manager of the Game Developers Conference. "We are very proud to honor Steve with the Pioneer award for paving the way for so many developers when gaming was only in its infancy."
Ambassador Award recipient Chris Melissinos started his career at Sun Microsystems in 1994 and spent much of his 16-year tenure driving an industry-wide movement toward Java technology-based game development and building infrastructure programs for massively connected game play. Melissinos is well known in the industry for his role in cross-platform video game technology development, video game preservation and advocacy, virtual world applications, and lectures on the future of games and computer technology. Building upon his successful career intechnology development and preservation, he is exploring new forms of game interactivity as a co-founder ofgopop.tv (http://www.gopop.tv).

I'm just going to come out with it. I'm aging. Boo!
Still there? That should come as no surprise to anyone since we have all been growing a day older since the day we were born. Still, I have reached a point where the thought of losing my looks, whatever those are, is starting to feel like something to be swept under the rug and pretend it isn't happening.
When I was younger, my fresh-faced looks opened doors, but now that my once-sharp eyesight is fading, I try not to walk into those doors. In fact, I recently picked up my first sexual deterrent from the pharmacy, better known, dear readers, as READERS, so I can make out the tiny print on the bottom of my lipstick tubes. Mr. Zuzu agrees that the OTC spectacles don't foster that Sexy Librarian look, even if I manage to look very stern. Oops.
Some of us visibly age more slowly or quickly than others, but I suspect we all arrive at that fated day when say to ourselves, "Holy cats, I never noticed that before," when suddenly our freckles no longer fade in winter or turkey wattle is all we see. Or a crazy thought comes to us one morning in the shower that perhaps the real reason our eyelashes stopped holding a curl is because our eyelid creases are pushing against the lashes! Or when we finally lost that weight, The Girls, who used to sit up high and perky, are now pointing due south, such that you could almost toss them around your neck in a flesh-toned pashmina.
I have thought about fading outer beauty in the months since I started this blog. If I were not so guarded about my privacy (I really don't want colleagues to know what I get up to in my spare time) I'd regularly feature my face on this blog so you could see what over 40 looks like.
As fun as all the product reviews have been for me to write, I have reached a saturation point. Buying new makeup just isn't as much fun as it used to be—at least not if I do it every week. I'm not a makeup artist, so there's little point in my being a curator. Too much stuff makes me stressed and unhappy. Remember this, when last summer I drove to Ikea and bought an Alex to consolidate my masses of beauty products?
Since then, I have carefully culled down those six drawers to one. One drawer contains all the products I use every day. And along the way, as I was testing the makeup I wanted to keep or not keep, I made the interesting discovery that I actually look better with less.
No, that was not a typo. This beauty blogger thinks she looks her best with not so much makeup. And it's not because I am some fine-boned, classic beauty. It's more about looking real. This crazy thought became obvious to me recently when I went through photos of myself from teenage years to present. I was gathering them because I was looking my natural hair color to bring to my color consultation. I noticed that the candid photos taken of me at times like Christmas mornings (hair by Dairy Queen) or on weekends—both of which are times when I tend to wear little more than tinted lip balm—were times that I looked fresher, younger, even prettier. And not just when I actually was younger.
The looking-younger revelation should not have surprised me, as one of the surest ways to add years is to put on makeup. All we have to do is look at the 12-16 year old models on the pages of any fashion magazine to witness that.
So what's "a little makeup" to me? I'll write a separate article for the desert-island items I reach for every day, but for now let's just say that my daily items are the ones that allow much of my own skin to show through, flaws and all, because flawless skin looks good only in advertising ... and maybe not even then. I choose colors that either match my skin completely or extend colors present in skin, veins, hair, and eyes. Pale pink, antique rose, dusty lavender, muted peackcock, cadet blue, dove grey, etc. Currently this translates to:
- The simplest skincare possible with the fewest ingredients possible (unscented, of course).
- My ever reliable foundation (Jane Iredale), which I apply to the T zone only, so I don't dull the glow on the high planes of my face.
- Well-groomed brows. Above all, brows are essential. Eyebrows frame the face, and as we get older, the hairs thin, lighten, and might even turn white.
- An easy, subtle eyeliner for those days when I want to make my lash roots look thicker. (Brows aren't the only hairy bits to thin—less volume on head, brows, lashes, and ... elsewhere are what many of us have to look forward to. Tightlining lets me skip mascara.
- A skintone-evening eyeshadow or primer for the entire lid space, preferably in a semi-matte or satin finish.
- A matte eyeshadows for subtle contouring, one that mirrors the colors found in my skin.
- A face-brightening lipstick. Being an ashy "Summer" type, I need something to liven up my bland coloring. A sheer, clear, rosy shade is ideal—something just a touch darker than my own pigment but not too dark. A punch of color is more important than ever as I get older and my coloring fades and becomes more cool.
- [Optional] a glowy blush, like NARS Gaiety.
- Eltamd UV Clear SPF 46
- Clinique Brow Shaper in Shaping Charcoaled
- Lipstick
I expect the above list will change over time. Certainly the go-to products I used in my 20s/30s do not all work now, and I have even noticed changes in the last 5 years. I also have a few friends 10-15 years older than I who say they no longer wear eyeshadow at all, but most every woman of a certain age I know is still wearing lipstick.
I love makeup. It's part of who I am because I love to adorn myself, even if the adornment is very subtle. So I don't intend to go completely barefaced any time soon, and I still want to have fun.
My personal definition of what real beauty is may evolve as I begin to accept the reality of what I see in the mirror. I would live a very sad and shallow life if beauty were only skin deep, so I wonder what the new face of Everyday Beauty will be this year.
No matter your age, young or not so young, have you noticed any changes? If so, how do you deal with them both mechanically and in your head space?

Inventing Together: Exploring the Nature of International Knowledge Spillovers in Latin America
Montobbio, Fabio
Sterzi, Valerio
MetadataShow full item record
This paper studies the nature, sources and determinants of international patenting activity in Latin American countries (LACs) and examines the extent to which LACs benefit from R&D that is performed in the G-5 countries (France, Germany, Japan, United Kingdom, and United States). By using patents and patent citations at the United States Patent and Trademark Office we trace intrasectoral knowledge flows from G-5 countries to LACs. We study the impact of three channels of spillovers: pure spillovers, patent citations related spillovers, and face-to-face contact spillovers. Our results, based on data for Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, and Mexico, suggest that international knowledge spillovers from the G-5 countries are a significant determinant of inventive activity over the period 1988-2003. In particular we find that the stock of ideas produced in the US has a strong impact on the international patenting activity of these countries. Moreover controlling for US-driven pure spillover effects, bilateral patent citations and face-to-face relationships between inventors are both important additional mechanisms of knowledge transmission. Some of our results suggest that the latter mechanism is more important than the former.

The efficacy of herbal products has always been affected by growing conditions, harvesting, processing and storage. At Factor Farms in beautiful Kelowna, British Columbia, Canada our quality can be guaranteed as we control the entire process from seedling to finished product. To grow herbs organically no chemical fertilizers, herbicides, fungicides or pesticides are allowed. We use only natural substances that have been approved by the organic industry. You can be assured that the fresh herb extracts contain no traces of unwanted chemical. Even the seed and plant sources are organic. To be organically certified, certification inspectors work closely with growers to ensure that the organic standards are adhered to. We must keep detailed records of what we use on our farm. Even after harvest, processing is regulated so that no harmful chemicals are used to manufacture the fresh herb extracts. Local cultivation of medicinal herbs at Factors Farms ensures that the herbs are picked, processed, and extracted at just the right time when the active ingredients are at their peak. Natural Factor knows that the natural habitats of many herbs are shrinking and that over-harvesting from the wild can endanger native medicinal plant populations. So organic cultivation of herbs is preferred over "wild crafting".

Why is Romney getting drawn into these ridiculous skirmishes?
Only in Pakistan can political escapades be this ridiculous.
Manning Brothers in ridiculous Rap Video Time to quit the field?
Waists have been whittled, skin lightened, and breasts enhanced to ridiculous proportions.
Pretty much, except for some ridiculous assumptions in your question.
Had I not already been making a sad fool of myself by my ridiculous conduct?
I admit it was ridiculous, but you wouldn't lift your finger to make it less so.
Nay, is not an opposite course that which the poet himself censures as "wasteful, ridiculous excess?"
"They cannot make him ridiculous, Morris," said Hester, cheerfully.
There had been talk of his going to Canada, and much chaff upon that subject—so ridiculous, Tancred emigrating!
1540s, ridyculouse, from Latin ridiculosus "laughable," from ridiculus "that which excites laughter," from ridere "to laugh." Shakespeare and other 17c. writers sometimes spelled it rediculous. Slang extensions to "outrageous" (1839); "excellent" (1959, jazz slang). Related: Ridiculously; ridiculousness.

Much has been written recently about Nintendo's financial woes and the failure of the Wii U to attract a significant audience.
Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze, out now on Wii U, won't change Nintendo's predicament. It's an enjoyable and visually dazzling side-scrolling platformer, but offers little that hasn't been seen before, particularly for those who played Wii predecessor Donkey Kong Country Returns.
Donkey Kong moves gracefully, but the pace is significantly slower than Mario titles.
It's hard to establish a flow or rhythm - enemies and obstacles seem deliberately placed to break your momentum. You must take your time, particularly if you want to uncover all the secrets on offer - often by smashing DK's surroundings.
Fortunately, the big ape has three sidekicks to assist: Diddy, Dixie and Cranky. The two spritely simians can hover in the air, but ol' Cranky is arguably the most useful companion as his walking stick helps to perform a bigger jump.
Tropical Freeze can be frustratingly difficult at times, and you sometimes meet your demise for unknown reasons. It's aggravating when you have to replay long sections over and over again.
Fortunately, the game is generous with extra lives, and you can purchase additional help with coins collected during your adventure such as balloons that rescue you from a fatal fall.
You can also enlist the help of a parrot who squawks when a puzzle piece is nearby.
Welcome variety is offered by sections in which DK can ride on the back of a rhino, swim underwater, get thrust into the air by a series of exploding barrels or hurtle along in a speeding mine cart.
A level set in a factory where sliced fruit makes temporary platforms is a delight, while the inventive and very challenging boss battles are another highlight.
It's an entertaining romp, but with such a lack of ambition and novelty, this isn't a game that would make anyone invest in a Wii U.
What have you been playing lately?

Buying Guides - Research Before You Buy
Whether you're upgrading to a more energy efficient model or are just tired of running out of hot water halfway through a shower, a new hot water heater can deliver the reliable access to hot water that you need. Sears has a large selection of natural gas, liquid propane, electric and tankless water heaters for you to choose from. Accessorize your new hot water heater with a water softener for spotless dishes and consistently warmer water.
Those looking for an energy efficient water heating solution will want to consider an electric water heater. These home water heaters work without a pilot light and can take up far less space. Large families and households may appreciate the larger tank capacity and faster heating time that a traditional gas or propane water heater can provide. Powerful and efficient tankless water heaters are slim water heating solutions that work by heating water on demand, so no one is surprised by cold water coming out of the shower head.
You'll even find specialty home water heaters for select California markets where local laws and regulations may require ultra low NOx specifications. No matter the size of your household, level of water usage or utility efficiency requirements, there's a hot water heater that will meet your requirements at Sears.
