If IQ rules, it is only because we let it. And when we let it rule, we choose a bad master. We got ourselves into the test mess; we can get ourselves out of it.
Robert J. Sternberg
Starting from his own bad experience with traditional IQ measurements, Robert J. Sternberg developed an alternative intelligence model, comprising three elements of thinking processes kept in balance by metacognition.
Taking practical experience with highly intellectual people, who aren't exactly successful in life, into consideration Sternberg describes three different kinds of intelligence in his model:
How successful a person can use these three different intelligences is not only a result of simply having high intelligence in one or more of these three intelligence domains, success also depends on how well they are balanced against each other. Through metacognition an individual decides what mode of thinking is appropriate under certain conditions.
Well aware that most people differ in their general ability to use the three intelligences Sternberg later on developed a typology of people based on his theory, differentiating seven types:
Sternberg's model has had less of an impact on the educational world than Gardner's Multiple Intelligences.

Until Ford gets rid of the UAW, they will continue to have high labor cost. They will never compete with Toyota factories in the USA.
The UAW does not have the power it used to. Ford has an oportunity to control labor cost and to compete. Ford is changing the business mindset through out the company and will provide the right product mix. This is what will drive Ford to become a real force in the industry and to profitability.
Ford Motor Co. (F) said it plans to cut about 40% of its $25.8 billion automotive debt by offering creditors cash and new shares. Despite the plan, Standard & Poor's cut its corporate credit rating on Ford to "CC" from "CCC+" while Fitch said it will not affect the current rating of "CCC," Reuters reported.
The Ford Motor Company said on Friday , June 20,2008 that it would delay introducing its new pickup truck and that it will probably lose money for a fourth consecutive year in 2009 because of the slowdown in demand for large vehicles.
Ford said it would begin selling the highly anticipated 2009 version of the F-150 pickup in late fall, two months later than intended, so that dealers would have more time to clear out the current model. In addition to the delay, the company said it would build 90,000 fewer trucks in the second half of the year than it had previously planned, while increasing production of cars and crossovers that are more fuel-efficient.
"As gasoline prices average more than $4 a gallon and consumers worry about the weak U.S. economy, we see June industry-wide auto sales slowing further and demand for large trucks and S.U.V.'s at one of the lowest levels in decades," Ford's chief executive, Alan R. Mulally, said in a statement. "Ford has taken decisive action to respond to this accelerating shift in customer demand away from large trucks and S.U.V.'s to smaller cars and crossovers, and we will continue to act swiftly moving forward."
For the second time in a month, Ford issued a warning about next year's financial results.
In a note sent to investors Friday , June 20th , JPMorgan analyst Himanshu Patel blamed the loss on falling residual values for leased pickups and SUVs.
High gasoline prices have caused pickup and SUV values to tumble during the past year. Patel said they dropped 16 percent to 18 percent from May 2007 to May 2008.
Ford will have $1 billion in lease depreciation costs, and GM will have $600 million because it shares risk with its GMAC financial arm, Patel predicted.
He wrote that the price pressure on used pickups and SUVs has been aggravated by "generally more affluent customers' ability to `bail out' early." That further worsens the used vehicle market's supply and demand imbalance.
GM and Toyota plan to bite into Ford's share of the truck market with their GMT-900 and Tundra models, respectively.
It will take Ford many years to reach profitability. Product commonality must be planned from the early stages of a vehicle's production, and production lead times are 3-4 years. For example, if the Ford Escort were to be redesigned in 2007 to incorporate a significant number of parts of another Ford model, the new Escort would not be ready for sale until 2010.
Battered by increasing steel costs and dampened consumer demand due to high gas prices, Ford Motor Co. (F) announced on 22nd May 08, that it would not be able to meet Chief Executive Officer Alan Mulally's goal of returning to profitability by 2009, Bloomberg News reported. North American vehicle production will be cut throughout the rest of this year due to "the rapidly changing business environment in the [United States]," a company statement read.
GM and Toyota plan to bite into Ford's share of the truck market with their GMT-900 and Tundra models, respectively. The combination of record high fuel prices and continuing difficulties in the housing sector has further accelerated the shift away from large pickups and SUVs to small and medium-sized cars and crossovers. We saw a real change in the industry demand for pickup trucks and SUVs in the first two weeks of May. It seemed to us that we reached a tipping point where customers began shifting away from these vehicles at an accelerated rate.- Alan Mulally, CEO Ford
That's Ford (F) CEO Alan Mulally on a conference call this morning reviewing the company's business plan.
Just another piece of evidence that the US consumer is getting squeezed and it is effecting his spending decisions.
I think it makes more sense to look at the value of the entire company. In this case, the free cash flow is $8.7 billion, since I add back the $7.1 billion in after-tax interest expense. I also use an 8.5% weighted average cost of capital based on the after-tax cost of debt and the aforementioned 12.5% cost of equity.
In this case, I come up with an enterprise value of $102 billion. After subtracting the net debt, equity investors have a $43 billion hole to crawl out of.
Ford's "One Ford" campaign hopes to save production and design costs by producing a single fleet of vehicles for all markets worldwide. The only problem is that these markets, specifically the BRIC countries, though similar in economic fashion, may not have similar social tastes. Countries unfortunately cannot be generalized so easily and it would be a marketing failure if Ford cannot identify specific niches to cater to. This is especially true in China, which has in recent years increased the number of domestic automakers that could easily sense specific consumer markets faster than Ford.
One of the greatest threats to Ford's product line lies in its defective cruise control switch, which has been known to pose as fire risks on some models. The company, for example, will recall about 1.1 million Ford Windstar minivans for repairs due to fire risks. An additional 3.4 million Mercury and Lincoln vehicles (owned by Ford) which use similar switches are going to be recalled. Such a massive recall will place a heavy burden on Ford's image.
Ignore all the "experts". All it takes is one ride in a FORD for you to realize what Junk it is compared to a Honda or Toyota. I'll take those hard working middle American workers over your Detroit entitlement crowd anyday!
Japanese have ONE goal, BUILD THE BEST. Ford is more worried about the Affirmative action program, and hiring minorities for mid-level management than they are about building excellent cars. Quality is JOB ONE!! What a joke!
Ford dealers have been hard-pressed to come up with the much-touted fuel efficient vehicles that you could supposedly purchase, or even trade your clunker for. Of the 4 Ford dealerships that I personally visited, none had inventory that would qualify as an upgrade to the clunker trade-ins. Of what was available, rebates were meager, and fuel efficiency was non-existant. One of the most overlooked and important side-effects of the clunker program was to get people out to dealerships to see what is available. Ford had nothing to show. No inventory for clunkers, and no inventory until the 2010 models come out. With few recent sales, and expected new car sales to continue plummeting, Ford cannot be expected to post a profitable 3Q, and doesn't look much better for the rest of the year.
Unlike GM and Chrysler, due to more prescient planning Ford has so far been able to weather the economic downturn without significant government assistance. While such an approach certainly has advantages in that the company will not have any kind of conditions forced upon it by the federal government: allowing it to be more flexible and better able to respond to market demands. Nevertheless, the deals its competitors have made with the government has allowed them to borrow over $60 billion in low interest loans, assertively re-negotiate debt and retirement contracts under the auspices of bankruptcy protection, and close dealerships with little negotiation. Across the Atlantic in the European market, even European automakers such as PSA Peugeot Citroen and Opel have received generous support from the French and German Governments, respectively.
This notion that our Government is bad and that Unions are evil must stop in this country. Toxic and dangerous conservative philosphy started by Ronnie "THE RAT" Reagan is over and we must move forward. Ford and GM shoved these SUV s and huge trucks onto the American people, these gas guzzling dinosaurs should have died long ago. But still these automakers have huge capitol and assets and will rebound once they figure out how to make what the American people have been buying the last couple of years which is Toyota, Nissan, and Honda.
The situation of the Big Three has become more tenuous as long-time Michigan democratic Congressman, John Dingell, was replaced as chairman of the House Energy and Commerce Committee by Californian Henry Waxman. What does this mean for the Big Three? As a long-time champion of America's automakers in the House of Representatives since 1955, Dingell used his chairmanship to protect the interests of Detroit automakers against Federal Government regulation, especially fuel economy standards.[1] Conversely, Henry Waxman has aggressively and openly called for ever more stringent fuel economy regulations and less generous help for automakers.[2] This change and the broad regulatory scope of the Energy and Commerce Committee will likely make any Federal Government assistance for the Big Three both less forthcoming and less generous.

Firefighters had to battle high winds to secure a damaged roof on a block of flats in West Watford.
Two crews from Watford Fire Station were called to the apartments in The Gateway, off Whippendell Road, at around 11.20am today.
Crew Commander Mark Lovell said the firefighters found the top sheeting on the roof had come loose in the winds and some insulation boards and timber joists had been blown off.
Picture by Simon Jacobs.
The damage had not exposed the penthouse flat directly underneath, but there was a threat of debris being blown off and into surround buildings.
Mr Lovell said: "We evacuated the other buildings next to the flats in case more stuff blew off. A car had already been damaged by debris and had its rear window smashed."
Firefighters then had to tie ropes over the flapping sheet of roofing to secure. However they faced danger as if the wind changed the roofing could have been blown back in their direction.
They eventually tied ropes over the damaged roofing and secured them to balconies on either side of the flats.
Mr Lovell added: "We then handed it over to the (flats) management guys."

Daryl Hannah plays the mermaid who names herself after an avenue and eats the whole lobster.
Dora is seen getting dressed as a mermaid by a cursor being manned by some omniscient game player.
She occasionally has to dress up as a mermaid for her gig at a fancy Miami hotel.
It was inspired by the short story "mermaid in a Jar" by writer Sheila Heti, who spoke with Simmons for Interview magazine.
Graziella gladly consented, and Bonnetta stayed below with the mermaid.
He had, so I gathered, told me all he was going to tell me about the mermaid.
All the pretty heads were a foot under ground, and the roots, like the locks of a mermaid, wooing the buxom air.
"Because they are not like you, dear," answered the mermaid, with salt tears in her soft eyes.
In these he is borne beyond the world with those poets whom Keats conceived as supping at a celestial "mermaid."
Streaming like a mermaid, she crouched in her canoe, paddling with the regularity of a machine.
mid-14c., mermayde, literally "maid of the sea," from Middle English mere "sea, lake" (see mere (n.)) + maid. Old English had equivalent merewif "water-witch" (see wife), meremenn "mermaid, siren." Tail-less in northern Europe; the fishy form is a medieval influence from classical sirens. A favorite sign of taverns and inns since at least early 15c. (in reference to the inn on Bread Street, Cheapside, London). Mermaid pie (1660s) was "a sucking pig baked whole in a crust."
A legendary marine creature with the head and torso of a woman and the tail of a fish; the masculine, less well-known equivalent is a merman. Though linked to the classical Sirens, mermaids may be nothing more than sailors' fanciful reports of the playful antics of dugongs or manatees.

Great Resource
Wonderful resource for the history, pronunciation, etymology, etc. of words.I especially like the date chart. The chart lists the years of the works where examples were taken from. The only drawback is the timeline of the chart only goes back as far as 1000. It is interesting...

I am opposed to the death penalty in all circumstances. Agree or disagree, you've gotta admit that this is an interesting take on things: Feed the Worms Who Write Worms to the Worms - The economic logic of executing computer hackers.
I see at least one big flaw with this theory. I don't believe that the death penalty deters crime. I've met quite a few criminals in my day, including a few accused or convicted of murder, and I don't believe that a single one of them ever thought "I might get the death penalty for this" as they killed. I don't believe that murderers think of the consequences of their actions (beyond the death of the other party), and, moreover, I don't believe that any person committing homicide believes that he will be one of the few to get the death penalty for his murder. Many, but not all, criminals believe (at least until a defense attorney explains otherwise) that they can beat their case at trial (no matter how many times they've confessed or what type of evidence they've left behind). Even of those that know they're unlikely to beat their case, very few believe that they'll be one of the few to get the death penalty.
Actually, that's my case against deterrence in murder cases. On the other hand, I think that "hackers," not only premeditate their crimes, but are also capable of, at the very least, imagining the consequences of their actions and the possible repercussions. Perhaps, for hackers, knowing that they may face the death penalty might actually be a deterrent.
So, anyway, it's an interesting article. It's the first piece that I've read by Steven E. Landsburg, and it was good. Now I've read a few of the others available on Slate and liked them too, so perhaps, at some point, I'll write more on those too.
Right now, though, I'm feeling bad because Ken Lammers invited me to guest-blog at CrimLaw while he was away. So far I haven't had much to say. Well, at least nothing of the caliber that Lammers usually writes. (In case you haven't noticed, my stuff is mostly "war stories" without much legal substance, Lammers, on the other hand, writes about actual caselaw.) Now I'm going to see if I can dig up some kind of something, anything really, that I can blog about. I'm not one to snub such a prestigious invitation.

- Ken Friedman
Ken Friedman works at the intersection of three fields: design, management, and art. At Denmark's Design School, he works with theory construction and comparative research methodology for design and as Professor of Leadership and Strategic Design at the Norwegian School of Management, he focuses on knowledge economy issues. "To design effective processes and artifacts, designers must know how things work and why," Friedman writes. "This requires constructing and testing theories. In the most basic form, theories are models that demonstrate how things work by describing their properties or elements in dynamic relationship. Theories help us to understand what happens when elements interact. Theory construction is the art of developing the theories we require for robust design practice." Ken Friedman has done research in the philosophy of science, the philosophy of design, and doctoral education in design. He also works with national design policy projects in Estonia, Latvia, and Wales. As book review editor of Design Research News and Council Member of the Design Research Society, Friedman plays an active role in developing international research networks and conferences for the design research community. He co-chaired the La Clusaz Conference on Doctoral Education in Design in 2000, and he is co-chair of the 2006 conference of the European Academy of Management.

Hiroshi Ishii is a tenured Associate Professor of Media Arts and Sciences, at the MIT Media Lab. His research focuses upon the design of seamless interfaces between humans, digital information, and the physical environment. He joined the MIT Media Laboratory in October 1995, and founded the Tangible Media Group to pursue a new vision of Human Computer Interaction (HCI): "Tangible Bits." His team seeks to change the "painted bits" of GUIs to "tangible bits" by giving physical form to digital information and computation. Ishii and his students have presented their vision of "Tangible Bits" at a variety of academic, industrial design, and media art venues including ACM SIGCHI, ACM SIGGRAPH, Industrial Design Society of America, and Ars Electronica, emphasizing that the development of tangible interfaces requires the rigor of both scientific and artistic review. A display of many of the group's projects took place in "Tangible Bits" exhibition at the NTT InterCommunication Center (ICC) in Tokyo in summer 2000. A new, two-year-long exhibition "Get in Touch" that features the Tangible Media group's work opened at Ars Electronica Center (Linz, Austria) in September 2001.

Philadelphia (AP) - A
Karen Capato's lawsuit marks just the latest example of the law struggling to keep pace with technology, reproductive and otherwise.
At least four families have sued the Social Security Administration to secure benefits for children conceived after their fathers died. Three are still pending, but the agency now honors such claims in the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals, where an
Given the split, some expect the issue to reach the U.S. Supreme Court.
"We ... cannot help but observe that this is, indeed, a new world," 3rd U.S. Circuit Court Judge Maryanne Trump Barry wrote in an opinion Wednesday.
"This case - a case that involves the rights of the posthumously conceived children of a deceased wage earner and his widow - requires us to consider the intersection of new reproductive technologies and what is required to qualify for child survivor benefits under the Social Security Act," she wrote.
The unanimous, three-judge panel said there is no doubt the 7-year-old twins are the biological children of Capato and her husband, Robert, who died in 2002. They were conceived using sperm frozen before he started treatment for esophageal cancer in
Reversing the lower-court judge in
But they said Capato must now prove, under another prong of Social Security rules, that the twins were "dependent or deemed dependent" at the time of his death.
Her lawyer believes she can.
"I think most people would agree that children ... are obviously dependent upon their parent," lawyer Bernard A. Kuttner of
He believes such cases may become more common among military families, as soldiers choose to store sperm before deploying to war zones.
The Social Security Administration said it does not track the number of posthumous-conception claims it receives or, in the 9th Circuit, approves. The circuit also includes
Capato argued that the unequal treatment from state to state is unconstitutional, but Social Security said its dependency rules follow state inheritance laws, which vary.
Robert Capato, who ran a health-club business, died in March 2002 in
Karen Capato tried to argue that her husband was a
The case now returns to Cavanaugh's court. The Justice Department, which argued the case, said only that it was reviewing the opinion.
However, in a brief, Justice lawyers said eligibility rules are designed to protect government funds while helping qualified children.
"In addition to protecting the Social Security trust fund, the eligibility requirements are substantially related to the important governmental objective of using reasonable presumptions to limit benefits to those children who lost a parent's support," they wrote.

| The advertisement of anti-depressants is unethical and must stop. More people are learning about the harm caused by them thanks to the black box warnings. The majority of the Anti-depressants I see advertised will most likely
be the illegal street drugs of the future. Not so long ago Cocaine was the pshychiatrists drug of choice invented by them to mask man's abberations and social gaps, look what that drug has done to our society. Ecstasy and Rittalin invented by psychiatrists have also flooded our streets as recreational drugs of choice. Advertising a pill for every problem is not the solution and the practice of doing so must be banned from television, radio and billboards.

Massachusetts' first week ranked in the AP Top 25 in 15 years consisted of plenty of rest following a strong start that included a tournament championship.
The 21st-ranked Minutemen get back to work Tuesday night as they face Eastern Michigan in their first true road game of the season.
UMass (6-0) has been tested plenty in the early portion of its schedule, beating foes from the ACC (Boston College, Clemson), SEC (LSU) and Big Ten (Nebraska) while also knocking off then-No. 19 New Mexico 81-65 on Nov. 22 in the semifinals of the Charleston Classic.
It beat Clemson 62-56 two days later to capture the tournament title, leading to a No. 24 ranking in last week's poll that marked its first honor since the week of Nov. 17-23, 1998. It jumped three spots this week despite being idle.
Center Cady Lalanne was named the MVP in Charleston, averaging 17.0 points and 11.7 rebounds in the three games. He finished with 20 points, 12 rebounds and four blocks in the championship, and the junior is leading the team with averages of 17.8 points and 11.3 rebounds.
Chaz Williams, the team's 5-foot-8 senior point guard, is averaging 16.0 points, but he scored four and shot 1 of 12 against Clemson. Williams finished 10 for 33 from the field for the tournament.
The Minutemen have trailed for only 5:46 in the second half all season, with all of that time coming in the opener against Boston College. They didn't have much trouble against Eastern Michigan last season either, leading by 13 at the half en route to a 75-61 home victory Jan. 5 as Williams finished with 14 points.
While UMass will come into this matchup well-rested after an eight-day layoff, the Eagles (5-1) should be well prepared for a tough test after falling 81-63 at No. 3 Kentucky on Wednesday.
Darell Combs was the only player in double figures with a career-high 23 points off the bench for Eastern Michigan, which has lost 13 straight to ranked opponents since beating No. 21 Michigan on Dec. 17, 1997.
Combs scored 18 points in a win over Texas-Arlington on Nov. 23 after going into that contest averaging 3.5 over the first four.
''I just took it as another game, a regular game, and got mentally ready,'' the first-year guard said. ''I got a good night's rest and I didn't look at it like, 'oh, we're playing Kentucky.' I just looked at it as another game and did everything the same that I normally do.''
Karrington Ward averages a team-best 16.0 points followed by Ray Lee's 15.3, but they were held to five and two, respectively, against the Wildcats.
''We just have to move forward, continue to get better,'' coach Rob Murphy said. ''We will learn from this game as we move forward. Each and every practice, each and every game we will get better. We lost to Kentucky, (which) is a top-five team, so like I told my guys in the locker room, it's not the end of the world.''
UMass' last game as a Top 25 team was Nov. 18, 1998, when the 23rd-ranked Minutemen fell 73-69 to St. John's at home.

|Amherst to Face Wooster in National Semifinals
Amherst to Face Wooster in National Semifinals
By Ben Kaplan '09
March 12, 2007
AMHERST, MA –The Amherst College men's basketball team will travel to Salem, VA for its second consecutive trip to the NCAA Division III Final Four. Next up for the Jeffs is the College of Wooster (Wooster, OH), who will make its second-ever appearance in the national semifinals.
The Fighting Scots of Wooster overcame an 11-point halftime deficit against the State University of New York Brockport, then built a ten-point second-half cushion, only to see their lead disappear. After surviving a last-second shot, they dominated overtime and grabbed a 94-87 win, punching their ticket to Salem.
The Jeffs have shown the ability to outperform some of the toughest competition in the nation, beating Widener College, Stevens Institute of Technology and Rhode Island College en route to the national semifinals. Both junior Andrew Olson (San Diego, CA) and senior quad-captain Dan Wheeler (Bloomington, MN) were named to the All-Sectional Team, with Olson picking up the Sectional MVP award for the second year in a row.
Before defeating Brockport, Wooster bested Transylvania University, Centre College, and John Carroll University in previous NCAA action, winning each game by at least ten points. Junior guard James Cooper and senior forward Tom Port were named to the All-Sectional Team, with Cooper collecting MVP honors. The Scots boast a 29-3 record (15-1 NCAC) and won their conference tournament for the first time since 2004.
The semifinal showdown will pit one of the nation's top offenses against the Lord Jeffs' stifling defense, which has allowed only 59.8 points per game (10th in the nation). The Scots, the sixth-highest scoring team in the country at 88.9 points per game, will provide the greatest challenge this year for the Jeffs. Amherst has shut down opponents by holding them to 38.0 percent shooting (7th lowest in the nation) while blocking 6.1 shots per game (3rd in the nation).
The game will showcase two of the most efficient offenses, as both teams fall in the top five in field goal percentage, both connecting on over half their attempts (Wooster 52.3%, 2nd; Amherst 51.6%, 4th). Both teams also rank in the top 25 in three-point field goals made per game and three-point percentage. Wooster shoots 42.2% (4th) and makes 9.9 threes per game (13th), while Amherst connects on 41.6% from downtown (6th), sinking 9.1 per game (25th).
Amherst and Wooster could find themselves in unfamiliar territory if the game goes down to the wire, since they have spent most of the season dominating their opponents. The Jeffs lead the nation in scoring margin, winning games by an average of 21.6 points. Right behind Amherst is Wooster, triumphing by an average of 19.0 points.
The game will feature an intriguing guard match-up of two sectional MVPs. Leading the Wooster offense is James Cooper, who is coming off of a 34-point performance in the sectional finals. The six-foot junior guard, one of four Scots averaging double-figures, leads the team in scoring with 18.6 points per game. Sparking Amherst is junior point guard Andrew Olson, who averages 7.6 assists per game, which ranks third in the country.
Amherst (28-2) is looking for its first finals appearance in program history. Game time is set for 6 p.m. on Friday, Mar. 15 at the Salem Civic Center in Salem, VA, with the other semifinal at 8 p.m. The winners move on to Saturday's final at 5 p.m., following the 2:30 p.m. consolation game.
The semifinal games and consolation game will be broadcast streaming online here, while the finals will be telecast live on CSTV.
Audio coverage for the Amherst semifinals game will be made available by the student radio station, WAMH.
To purchase tickets via phone using a credit card, call the Salem Box Office at 540-375-3004 from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. For more information, visit this website.
Tickets will also be sold in the Amherst College Athletics Office Tuesday and Wednesday between 10 a.m. and 2 p.m. Tickets for adults are $20, and students with a valid ID will be charged $10.

Maryland Taps Feds for $360m in Rail Projects
Gov. Martin O'Malley recently announced Maryland's bid for federal stimulus dollars that the state would use to upgrade and improve its passenger rail system to the tune of $360 million, The Baltimore Sun reports.
Proposed projects include replacing an aging tunnel under downtown Baltimore, expanding the BWI Marshall airport rail station and opening up other bottlenecks in intercity and commuter train travel in the Northeast Corridor.
The federal stimulus dollars would only be the beginning of such investments. The final costs of these projects is expected to cost as much as about $2.5 trillion.

Water Dry
Oil Dry
Most people you will meet will be water dry- or dehydrated skin. Even if you're oily- you can be water dry. Your body is lacking water therefore your skin is lifeless, dehydrated, and can even overcompensate for the lack of water by producing more oil- causing you to break out.
The best way to help water dry skin is to replenish that water loss. Your best friend will be water. I've been experiencing this lately (moving to the desert doesn't exactly do wonders for your skin), and I've been using an awesome toner and water based moisturizer to lock in that hydration. Drink plenty of H2O and make sure you're eating foods packed with water. Then of course there's sunscreen. The sun is super drying on your skin, again, causing it to over produce oil to make up for the dryness. Protect yourself! Wear that sunscreen!
Then there are those people that are oil dry. You'll know them by their small pores and flaky skin (not saying they'll all be shedding, but you know what I mean). Because of your lack of oil your skin is missing that natural hydration it needs to stay young and healthy. If not taken care of properly, dry skin tends to age quicker than oily skin. And just because you don't produce as much oil, doesn't mean you won't have acne. On the contrary- you'll have dry acne. You need to stay so hydrated with an oil based or a more heavy moisturizer to give your skin that drink that it needs. When choosing a makeup, go for a more cream foundation that's going to keep you hydrated and a mineral powder to set it in place.
My best tip for those with dry skin- MOISTURIZE MOISTURIZE MOISTURIZE
Here's what my daily routine would consist of if I had dry skin:
exfoliate (2-3x/week) to break up those impactions and slough off the dead skin
moisturizing masque (1-2x/week to really hydrate that skin)
eye cream (did you know most women should be wearing an eye cream starting at age 19?)
moisturize with a heavier or oil based moisturizer (apply while skin is still wet from the toner to lock it in)
cream foundation (one that's non-comedogenic- won't clog your pores)
mineral powder
All of that moisturizing talk may have you worried that you're going to break out. Remember- your skin is either A) over producing oil because of the lack of water or B) not producing enough oil to keep your skin hydrated. BOTH of those things can cause you to break out. You need to moisturize to balance your skin out. Trust me. Your skin will thank you. :)

Axl Rose Passes Up Rock And Roll Hall of Fame Induction
Guns N' Roses singer Axl Rose said it as politely as he could, but still made it completely clear: he won't attend his band's Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction because he won't tread where he isn't welcome.
Rose didn't simply publicly decline the invitation to attend this week's induction ceremony among fellow lineup inductees Slash, Izzy Stradlin, Duff McKagen and Steven Adler, Reuters reports. He also asked that his name be struck completely from the Hall of Fame's record.
"I strongly request that I not be inducted in absentia and please know that no one is authorized nor may anyone be permitted to accept any induction for me or speak on my behalf," he wrote publicly in an open letter distributed Wednesday.
The five-piece rock legends have been set to join the 27th annual Hall class alongside the Red Hot Chili Peppers, the Beastie Boys, Donovan, Laura Nyro, the Faces, the Crickets, the Miracles and others. Above all else, the California quintet is famous/infamous for three oft-recalled legacies: their 1987 album Appetite For Destruction spawning legendary hit singles like "Sweet Child O' Mine", "Paradise City" and "Welcome To The Jungle" that made Rose's wailing vocals and lead guitarist Slash's blistering, dynamic solos immortal notes in rock history; in-fighting seemingly permanently napalming bridges between Rose and the original lineup, especially Slash; and the band's early 1990s drug and alcohol excesses leading to the five dismantling the band by the middle of the decade, though Rose eventually won a legal fight to tour with a new lineup under the Guns N' Roses name.
Rose's comments betrayed an initial hint of optimism felt toward the honor, but eventual reluctance that his would-be peers among the Hall would ever really welcome him.
"When the nominations for the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame were first announced, I had mixed emotions but, in an effort to be positive, wanting to make the most of things for the fans and with their enthusiasm, I was honored, excited and hoped that somehow this would be a good thing," Rose wrote. "Of course, I realized as things stood, if Guns N' Roses were to be inducted it'd be somewhat of a complicated or awkward situation.
Ultimately, Rose read the writing on the wall clearly enough to make up his mind after months reading and hearing public remarks by bandmates and his own meetings with Hall of Fame board members.
"No offense meant to anyone but the Hall of Fame induction ceremony doesn't appear to be somewhere I'm actually wanted or respected," Rose wrote.
Hall of Fame representatives didn't issue a statement late Wednesday concerning Rose's feelings. Unless something changes, members of Green Day have been slated to induct Guns N' Roses alongside their classmates on Sat. April 14 in Cleveland, Ohio.

Every day when we open our newspapers or turn on the TV, we find attacks on workers, our unions, and the progress that we have made. For example, look no further than this shameful Hartford Courant editorial that sides with rich nursing home owners and even advises locked-out workers that paying up to $7,000 more out of pocket for health care could help them manage their health "more wisely".
Right-wing talking heads and editorial boards want to blame union members — like teachers, firefighters, and health care workers — for today's economic problems. Their goal is to shift the focus away from the reckless speculation and greed of Wall St., and away from profit-hungry private equity firms whose CEOs are rewarded handsomely for outsourcing jobs, and away from a system where the richest 400 Americans have more wealth than the bottom half of the country combined.
Back in October 2011, 1199 Delegate Mike Doyle, a Community Clinician at the Bridgeport Mental Health Center, was fed up with all of the lies and misinformation and the attempts by the 1% to divide-and-conquer working people. So he wrote a powerful letter that was published in the Connecticut Post in which he called urgently for job creation for the unemployed and for holding corporations accountable. It's worth reading again today:
…Most major industries were able to exit [our state] with no strings attached. If a parent did that to their family they would be in jail for dereliction of duty to their family, endangering the welfare of minors, etc. Our politicians stood idly by and waved goodbye, hoping that the CEOs would remember them and ask them to go golfing or fishing sometime in the future, while their constituents struggled to keep their heads above water and their bank account out of a deep hole.
Doyle also offered a strong defense of the important role of state employees in providing vital services to the public, sometimes at great danger to themselves:
Do the authors of vicious attacks against state employees ever pick up a shovel to fill a pothole on our highways as cars go whizzing by at 70‐plus miles per hour? Do the authors of that right-wing propaganda ever hold someone down while they were going into a seizure from alcoholic withdrawal or having a psychotic breakdown? The answer is no.

Braves' Freddie Freeman is angry the team did not play 'Welcome to the Jungle' during a throwback game
Atlanta Braves first baseman Freddie Freeman was not happy when the team decided to skip closer Craig Kimbrel's usual entrance music in favor of organ music as part of the team's 100th anniversary celebration.
Also on Extra Mustard: Mariners' Lloyd McClendon ejected from game without leaving the dugout
Kimbrel generally takes the field to the Guns 'n' Roses classic "Welcome to the Jungle," and Freeman felt like it took fans out of the game and risked an important victory for the team to break with the ritual, according to the Atlanta Journal-Constitution's Chris Vivlamore.
"My issue is when, I don't mind using the uniform, I love the throw-back uniform, but when the atmosphere is taken out of the game," Freeman said. "Fans are coming here to have an experience and there is nothing on the Jumbotron, no music is playing. I'm looking in the stands and people's heads are down. It kind of takes the energy out of the stadium, especially when the best closer in the game comes in and there are not flames (on the scoreboard)."
Even without help from Axl, Slash & Co., the Braves were able to pull out the win.

IN a few months Rihanna will have a BMX, pencil moustache and a load of vintage jumpers and glasses she doesn't need.
The singer is getting her chequebook out to buy a gaff in Hoxton, east London – Zoolander capital of the Big Smoke.
A source said: "She is in London so often she wants a base. She's scoped out a few places in and around Hoxton because she loves what the area is about.
"Her London pals have been raving about it to her, saying it's one of the most interesting places in the city."
The Bizarre Caner Of The Year wouldn't be short of pals around town.
Kanye West has a studio in Clerkenwell, north London, and Kate Moss is her new best pal after a couple of tear-ups recently.
Staff at the Corinthia Hotel, over the road from Downing Street, have loved having Rihanna around.
But buying her own gaff will save a fortune on hotels. She is pictured here filming her new Sky Living series, where she is leading the hunt for an undiscovered fashion designer.
Her fee is probably enough to buy her a Hoxton tower block.

For Immediate Release
KDHE Office of Communications
National Women and Girls HIV/AIDS Awareness Day is March 10. This awareness day is commemorated by organizations and communities across the United States to call attention to the ever-rising numbers of women and girls diagnosed with HIV each year.
HIV/AIDS deeply impacts women and girls globally, national and local level. Worldwide it is the leading cause of death and disease for women ages 15 to 44. In the United States about one in four people living with HIV today are women, with a new infection occurring among women every 35 minutes. It's time to take action.
"Most women and girls are infected with HIV through heterosexual contact or injection drug use in our country today," says Travis Barnhart, HIV Prevention Director for the Kansas Department of Health and Environment. "The time for procrastination has ended. It is now more important than ever for females to get wise and get tested for HIV. Getting tested is an important first step in helping to stop this epidemic."
Several organizations throughout Kansas will offer events to commemorate National Women and Girls HIV/AIDS Awareness Day. Some of these events include:
For further information about events in Kansas, please contact Travis Barnhart, HIV Prevention Director at the Kansas Department of Health and Environment, at 785-296-1037 or firstname.lastname@example.com. You can find out more about National Women and Girls HIV/AIDS Awareness Day at www.womenshealth.gov/nwghaad. Additionally you can find HIV counseling and testing sites near you at www.hivtest.org.
