8 Products That Work Better Than Botox
Not convinced that a needle is your anti-aging answer? With these skin care products you can skip the injections and still get fabulous results
"Retinol is superb, as it smoothes and stimulates," King says. Murad adds that retinol products "will help restore skin texture and tone." This facemask adds concentrated retinol to your skin, and the vitamin C will also help stimulate collagen production. If these masks are too pricey, there are many products with retinol in them at various price points. It's definitely worth finding one to add to your skin care regimen.

Some of these products look good. Wish there was a way to know the amounts of the active ingredients they contain as this sometimes matters more.

I have had Botox injections and I was pleased with the results. The Dr. I used had the right idea that, Less is Better. I am a man, and she stressed two things: Men have thicker skin, and You dont want to risk looking obviously injected with Botox. She started on the low side and over the course of a two year period, got the formula just right. On one side of my face, the muscles were stronger. I was given injections and each time I was told to revisit within a week if I felt one side needed tweeking. This was necessary more than once because of a habit I have of furrowing my brow. The effects lasted longer with each treatment AND I was prescribed a cleansing, exfoliating, and moisturing routine. Plus I started yoga for stress. The injection sights were massaged with a numbing agent before the needle was even brought into the room each time. All I felt was the pressure form the injection. No pain and never any bruising. i do have large pores where I percieve the injection sights to be, this could be my imagination, not noticeable to anyone but me. It has been about a year since my last treatment and I have moved to another state. I am trying a new Dr. tomorrow. I hope the results are the same or better! I am glad I had the treatments done.

I would consider Botox under one condition. They are saying a benefit is for pain. I avoid shots in general, but pain does have me reconsider. I do agree certain foods and not smoking help. And, I am taking note that I need to keep using my products longer to see results.

sounds like botox is still better, cause it has long-lasting effects, and is probably cheaper than buying all of these... also, the products that give "instant results" are as good as plain primers that just even skin out while you're wearing them.... they don't really solve any problems.

Dublin is quite the city, make no mistake about that. Tourists flock here year after year to enjoy all the sights and sounds the city has to offer. Many arrive for the rich history on offer with perhaps a family tie somewhere in their background while others arrive with the towns famous nightlife firmly in mind.
Getting around the city is possible via bus, train or luas (tram) however many people will opt for a car hire Dublin Airport deal due to the huge flexibility on offer. When you hire a car you are no longer limited by the whims of public transport. You are the master of your own destiny, setting off and returning when you please.
There are some fantastic places to discover outside the city too which makes having your own transport essential if you want to pack as much in as possible. Another bonus is that it more often than not works out cheaper than public transport particularly when you book early.
The airport is located conveniently to the city with two terminals. Most people find it easiest to collect their car here as it saves on paying for transport to reach perhaps an inner city pick up point. There is also a lot more choice at the airport as several of the countries top firms are located close by.
When it comes to vehicle type, there are a great deal of options. For the family, you should consider space and comfort a priority. Keep in mind luggage space as well as the possibility of some grumpy travel companions. Those traveling alone or as a couple can choose from plenty of economy options if they want to save as much cash as possible for other holiday pursuits though of course splashing out on a luxury car is another possibility.
Insurance is of course vital to your trip. Most deals come with limited insurance cover so it is a good idea to purchase excess insurance which is best done online as the rates charged at rental desks can be excessive.
Driving at your own pace also gives you a great opportunity to really take in all the sights. Ireland is a beautiful country and there is so much worth exploring not just in Dublin but throughout the country. In the south you have places like Kerry and Cork while Galway and Clare in the west offer numerous tourist attractions worth your attention. Belfast in the north is of course another must visit location.
When looking for car rental in Dublin Airport, you should always compare prices. Cheap deals can usually be found on comparison websites. These sites can list prices from a large number of firms allowing you to pick and choose the best possible rate and car for you. Look at all the various assets of each deal and carefully make a choice. The right car can make a big difference to your holiday.
Most of all, make sure you thoroughly enjoy your stay in Dublin. Its sure to be a trip you will never forget.

Blue Jays rally against Detroit bullpen
Associated Press, Canada.comPublished: Thursday, April 11, 2013
Noah Trister
DETROIT - J.P. Arencibia and Mark DeRosa gave the struggling Toronto Blue Jays a chance to feel good.
Arencibia hit a three-run double in the seventh inning and the Blue Jays rallied from a five-run deficit to beat the Detroit Tigers 8-6 on Wednesday.
Edwin Encarnacion #10 of the Toronto Blue Jays celebrates with teammate Colby Rasmus #28 after scoring on the double to deep center field by J.P. Arencibia #9 in the seventh inning of the game at Comerica Park on April 10, 2013 in Detroit, Michigan.

Toronto had opened a season of high expectations with five losses in seven games.
"No reason to panic, but when you see it slipping away in the fifth or sixth inning, it was nice for the bats to come alive," said DeRosa, whose pinch-hit double in the sixth got the comeback started in earnest. "We obviously didn't get off to the start we wanted to, but we fought."
Detroit led 6-1 in the sixth, but starter Rick Porcello allowed hits to the first three batters that inning. They all eventually scored, and Toronto added four more runs the following inning.
Bryan Villarreal (0-1) came on with one on and one out in the seventh and proceeded to walk three straight hitters, forcing in a run. Arencibia followed with a drive to the gap in left-centre off Octavio Dotel to make it 8-6.
"It was nice to finally get a few hits and walks and guys grinding out at-bats, and string it all in the same inning," Arencibia said. "To score, you need to be able to do that collectively in an inning."
Aaron Loup (1-0) pitched a scoreless sixth for the Blue Jays. Casey Janssen, the last of five Toronto relievers, pitched a perfect ninth for his second save.
The game started after a rain delay of 2 hours, 29 minutes, and it was also raining when the Tigers made the final out.
The Blue Jays fell behind early. Mark Buehrle, acquired in the same off-season trade that brought Jose Reyes and Josh Johnson to Toronto, allowed six runs - five earned - in 4 1-3 innings.
Three of those runs came home after Buehrle left the game in the fifth. Reliever Steve Delabar allowed bases-loaded walks to Victor Martinez and pinch-hitter Andy Dirks, and Jhonny Peralta added an RBI single to make it 6-1.
But Porcello didn't get another out. He allowed four runs and eight hits in five-plus innings and left the lead to what is already a beleaguered Detroit bullpen. The Tigers don't have a set closer. Manager Jim Leyland says he's willing to use anyone to pitch with a lead in the ninth inning - but he never even got to make that decision Wednesday.
Edwin Encarnacion doubled in a run to chase Porcello, and DeRosa followed with a two-run double off Darin Downs. That set the stage for the seventh inning, when the Blue Jays took the lead.
"We really didn't give ourselves a chance," Leyland said. "We walked the guys. You don't give yourself a chance when you walk guys."
Toronto, meanwhile, blanked the Tigers over the last four innings. After Loup's scoreless frame, Brett Cecil pitched the seventh and Darren Oliver worked the eighth.
Oliver got a bizarre assist when Austin Jackson's line drive hit him around the left elbow and bounced right to DeRosa at first base for an easy 1-3 putout. The left-hander was able to continue.
"You never like to see a teammate get hit with a line drive," DeRosa said. "But for the ball to carom right to me - maybe things are starting to change a little bit."
Dotel had his own injury scare in the top of the inning when a one-hopper by Emilio Bonifacio hit him in the groin area. Dotel was also able to continue pitching.

Effectively managing an employee benefit is much more than managing and filing the massive amounts of paperwork that can be associated with them. I am not saying that the paperwork does not need to be managed, it does because many of the benefit programs that are offered have time sensitive dates in which the paperwork must be completed to meet specific eligibility guidelines. My tips on managing an employee benefits program are: determine what types benefits should be offered, Define the funding model and budget the cost of such benefits, determine the pricing mix or cost sharing percent to employees, identify and contract with benefit program companies, educate the employees about the benefit programs, then reassess the success of the benefit programs offered, and then last but not least ensure, that there are sufficient administrative procedures in place to handle the paperwork that these benefit programs generate.
There are many benefits that could be offered to your employees, the key is determining which ones are most important or most beneficial to the majority of your employees. Benefit programs are generally broken down into seven main categories, Health benefits (Medical & Dental), Welfare (Life & disability insurance), mandated benefits (Unemployment, worker's comp, social security), retirement (pensions / 401ks, 403bs), Paid Time Off (vacation, sick leave, maternity), Supplemental benefits (Flexible spending accounts, Pet insurance, accident insurance, Long-term care insurance), and employee discounts (company product discount, outside company discounts). With this many choices that could be offered to your employees, it may be wise to conduct an employee survey to identify the benefits that your workforce cares about and wants the most. Once you have defined the benefits offering you must define your benefits funding model and budget the cost of the selected benefits.
The two funding models that you need to consider are a Self-Insured or a Fully Insured plan. These types of models generally only apply to you health benefits. A self insured health plan is one where the employees pay their premiums to the company, and when they use their insurance, the claims are paid by the company. A fully insured plan is where the employee pays the premiums to the insurance company and the insurance company pays the claim when the employee uses their insurance. There are many pros and cons to each funding approach that will not be discussed here. Another factor that needs to be decided with whether these will be pre-tax or post-tax deductions. Pre-tax deductions saves both the company and the employees tax dollars, however they have restrictions as to how frequent changes to the plan can occur, (generally only once a year.) After-tax deductions are more advantageous to employees for wellness programs because the IRS taxes the benefits paid out for premiums that are deducted pre-tax, but not the benefits paid out where the premiums were taxed. Once the funding model is selected and budget the budget is determined, a pricing mix and cost sharing percents should be determined.
The pricing and premium cost sharing that needs to be determined is based upon the company's budget and strategies. The there are different cost sharing strategies that can be utilized, from 100% employer paid premiums to 100% employee paid premiums. There can be a huge amount of variations to these pricing models that can be utilized, but I would suggest it would be beneficial to identify cost sharing mixes that are competitive in the market for your industry. These market mixes can be readily determined by using benefits surveys. The next step is identifying benefit companies that can provide the benefits that you want to offer.
The most efficient way to identify and select the companies to provide the benefits that you have decided to offer is to conduct Requests For Proposals (RFPs) for each of the type of benefits that you plan to offer. Through the RFP process you will identify the companies that can best provide the benefit that fits within your pre-defined budget. One thing that I would highly recommend, is writing performance guarantees into the contract with your vendors. These performance guarantees are designed to ensure that certain quality standards are met, as far as customer service, claims payments, etc, and if they are not met, the benefits vendor refunds a portion of their administrative fees. In order for all of the steps discussed up to this point without educating the employees about the benefit programs.
Many companies call this step employee communication instead of employee education. I prefer to call it education because that implies the transference of knowledge whereas communication implies the transference of information. Transferring information doesn't mean that the employees know how to use the benefits programs, however educating employees about the benefit programs ensures that not only do they have the information about the programs, but also know how to use them. There should little differentiation on educating new and existing employees, because since the messages that you are communicating are the same for both groups and it is not wise to assume that an employee knows all about the benefits programs just because they have been with the company for a long time. Once the benefits are in place, and the employees are fully educated, reassessing the benefits annually is crucial.
The reassessment of your benefit programs on an annual basis not only helps you control costs, it also helps ensure that you are still getting the best deal from your benefit vendors by holding them accountable to the performance guarantees in their contracts. During the reassessment, you need ask, did your benefit programs meet their objectives? Are the costs still affordable? Are these still the benefits that we want to offer? Are the benefit programs being fully utilized by the employees? If not why? Lastly you need to implement administrative procedures to ensure all the benefits paperwork is processed in a timely and efficient manner.
As previously discussed, benefit programs generate a large amount of paperwork that primarily consists of enrollment forms beneficiary forms, that are time sensitive especially if your plans are on a pre-tax basis. In order to process these forms both timely and efficiently, you need to have strong administrative procedures in place. This step is crucial because if an employee's paperwork get's "lost in the shuffle", they will not get the benefits as they intended. Then it is highly probable that both you and the employee will be surprised that they "have no benefits" when they go to the doctor or the hospital. Loss of Life insurance enrollment could have even more dire consequences. One process that every benefit program needs to have is an appeals process. This process can be for enrollment, claims or any other benefit plan rule that an employee may question. Fortunately you don't necessarily have to manage these benefits all on your own, for a little money there are many companies that are more than willing to lend a hand, from third party administrators, benefit brokers, benefit outsourcing companies, and benefit consultants.
As you can see, effectively managing employee benefit programs can be a highly complex job, but is essential to ensure that your company and its employees achieve the greatest benefit from their benefit programs.

Scott Amendola Band: Believe
Scott Amendola Band: Believe
Los Angeles guitarist Nels Clines profile has steadily risen in the past decade through his affiliation with alt-rock bands such as the Geraldine Fibbers and more recently Wilco, even landing on the cover of Guitar Player magazine earlier this year. But hes concurrently maintained his roots in Californias tightly knit jazz and experimental music community, constantly recording with an extended family of collaborators. Bay Area drummer Scott Amendola, who first found acclaim as a member of the Charlie Hunter Quartet, has in recent years become an active member of Clines circle, joining his instrumental trio the Nels Cline Singers. And Cline in turn is a frequent participant in the revolving lineup of the Scott Amendola Band.
On the Scott Amendola Bands third album, Believe, the saxophones of previous releases are gone in favor of highlighting an ensemble of strings, including guitarist Jeff Parker (Tortoise, Isotope 217) and violinist Jenny Scheinman (Bill Frisell, Norah Jones). Amendola is a generous bandleader, writing melodic arrangements that showcase his band mates instruments far more often than his own percussion. And Cline is given ample opportunity to defy his reputation as a noisemaker with delicate 12-string and lap-steel guitar performances. Amendolas compositions flirt with Afrobeat rhythms on Oladipo, dedicated to Fela Kuti drummer Tony Oladipo Allen, and with wooly Neil Young-style guitar jams on Buffalo Bird Woman. But no stylistic turn feels unwelcome, even the jarring loops and electronics of Resistance. If anything, Believe could use more moments like that songs abrasive crescendo to keep it from becoming just a particularly arty easy-listening experience.

Well, I've been looking for mosin nagants for awhile now waiting for the right one to fall into my lap and just my luck I called a local gun store and somebody traded in a couple mosin's on a high dollar rifle. I got to the store and had them pull the 3 mosins out for me. Finally my Mosin dreams came true and between the 2 8ft tall 91/30 russian mosin's was a Finnish M39 in immaculate condition. What was even better is it was for a stupid low price of $139. So excited as I was, I snatched it up, picked up a few 20 packs of non corrosive ammo to test it out and away I went to shoot it. The first thing I purchased at the store before shooting it today Is the brand: LimbSaver recoil slip on pad. After having that on the rifle, it feels like less recoil then a 12ga shotgun.
The caliber ammo Mosin's shoot are 7.62x54r
The rifle is a Finnish 1944 Valtion Kirvaaritehdas (VKT) M39 mosin nagant.
Link to where it talks about Finnish M39 Mosin rifles: http://www.mosinnagant.net/finland/f..._nagantm39.asp
Here are some pics. The pics dont do justice to how clean and amazing the birch wood stock looks along with the rest of this rifle. This m39 was dead on accurate so I was pleasantly pleased I didn't have to zero it in since it seemed like the previous owner did that.
Now to some pics. These are Iphone pics so sorry. Yes it isn't crazy short "20inch barrel, 47inch overall" but still very short compared to a 91/30 mosin.
Hope everyone enjoys. I know it isn't some crazy expensive AR build or some high price pistol but I'm a fan of old weapons so I've always wanted one of these.

BATON ROUGE, La. (AP) - Candidates interested in running for office in the Oct. 22 election have only a few hours left to sign up for their races.
Qualifying shuts down at 5 p.m. Thursday.
Republican Gov. Bobby Jindal has drawn five challengers for his re-election bid, none with large name recognition or fundraising prowess. Still said to be considering the race is New Orleans multimillionaire John Georges, a Democrat who unsuccessfully ran against Jindal four years ago.
Four of the remaining six statewide elected officials - Attorney General Buddy Caldwell, Treasurer John Kennedy, Agriculture Mike Strain and Insurance Commissioner Jim Donelon - haven't attracted opponents. Lt. Gov. Jay Dardenne faces a challenge from Plaquemines Parish President Billy Nungesser, and Secretary of State Tom Schedler is opposed by House Speaker Jim Tucker. All are Republicans.

The Jewelry is a story that takes place in Paris and talks about two main characters, M. Lantin, who is the chief clerk at the office of Minister of Interior, and his wife, who remains nameless throughout the story. The story begins by telling us how M. Lantin meet his wife at the house of the office-superintendent, and how he immediately fell in love with this young innocent girl who "seemed to be the very ideal of that pure good woman to whom every young man dreams of entrusting his future" (634).
The story's plot is very interesting and can be thought of as two different stories combined into one. The writer first walks us through the six years of happiness they lived together and clearly notes Mr. Lantin's wife's passion for theaters and fake jewelry. She was a good housewife who maintained her household very well and provided her husband with a luxurious life style.
On one cold winter night, his wife went to the opera and came back home freezing, she had a "bad cough and died eight days later from pneumonia" (635). Mr. Lantin was heart broken and spent endless nights remembering his good wife. He wouldn't touch or change any of her belongings as they reminded him of her. The story could have ended here and would have made a sad ending; however the writer goes on describing the change in Mr. Lantin's life.
The author explains to us that Mr. Lantin was unable to continue living comfortably on his income. I found this very odd since his wife was able to manage the household for both of them and that they lived a very luxurious life. This was the first warning sign that struck me as a reader and got me to think more about Mr. Lantin's wife. The part that interests me the most was the "one morning that he happened to find himself without a cent in his pocket and [that he had to wait] a whole week before he could draw his monthly salary" (635). This clearly shows the reader that the wife had some kind of income coming in besides the income from Mr. Lantin's.
Broke and in debt, Mr. Lantin finds no other alternative but to sell his deceased wife's fake jewelry. After going through her belongings he decides to take her favorite piece of jewelry, the big pearl necklace that she use to tease him with and tries to sell it. He goes shamefully into a jewelry store to sell what he believes is an exquisitely well made fake pearl necklace. To his surprise the jeweler tells him that the necklace is worth between twelve and fifteen thousand francs. This came as a huge shock to Mr. Lantin has he thought that the jeweler's estimate was inept, and moved on to the next store. This is another clue since the author clearly tells us that Mr. Lantin's yearly salary was only three thousand and five hundred francs; a typical midlevel bureaucratic wage.
As Mr. Lantin goes into the next store the jeweler confirms that the necklace is real by telling him that it was sold from his store for twenty five thousand francs and would buy it from him for eighteen thousand francs. The jeweler looks up his register and affirms it by telling him that it was "sent to the address of Madame Lantin, 16 Rue des Martyrs, on July 20th, 1876." (636). The jeweler asks that he keep the necklace for a day for inspection.
It becomes clear that Madam Lantin was a courtesan; even though the writer does not clarify that, but he begins to describe Mr. Lantin's feelings as being betrayed by his love of his life and the suffering he went through.
On the next day, Mr. Lantin wanders around the streets in grief and the thought of becoming rich begins to fiddle his mind. Being broke and realizing he had not eaten since his shock at the jeweler's, his feet carries him back to the jeweler's to sell the necklace and collect the money. The jeweler welcomes him with a smile and offers him the money. On his way out he turns back and tells the jeweler that he has some other jewelry to sell, right when the jeweler acknowledges and accepts the offer "one of the clerks rushed out to laugh at his ease while another kept blowing his nose as hard as he could" (638) as in a way of hiding a laugh.
That part struck me as a reader and showed that the jeweler and his clerks were either on to his wife through research, or they knew all along about his wife's secret life. The story clearly makes the reader believe that Mr. Lantin was oblivious to how his wife could acquire such expensive jewels and that his concern was basically on the money. We see Mr. Lantin returning back to the jewelry shop with all the jewelry the next day. Mr. Lantin receives a hundred and ninety six thousand francs for all his wife's jewelry. He was extremely pleased with the financial security this fortune brought him and concordantly resigned from his job.
The story ends by telling us that Mr. Lantin remarried and that "his second wife was the most upright of spouses and had a terrible temper. [That] she had made his life very miserable." (639) This is the complete opposite of his first wife. We can say that the direct moral of the story is that looks can be deceiving. We read that Mr. Lantin's wife whom everybody praised turned out to be unfaithful and obviously had done anything for precious jewelry. We can say that Mr. Lantin, by enjoying the wealth that his wife accumulated through dishonest means made him as fortune-blinded as she was. We saw Mr. Lantin turn from this upright man who was ashamed to sell a fake piece of jewelry, to a man who sold his deceased wife's jewelry ignoring the fact that it could have been received by filthy means.
The closing also makes one wonder what the author meant; was he questioning morals versus happiness by saying that his presumably unfaithful first wife made him happy and his second upright wife made him miserable?
In conclusion, the story emphasized that looks can be deceiving and that sometimes we are blind to what really is going on. We can question if being happy by dishonest values is worth the financial gains or if the unhappiness from honest values is worth the pain.

Twenty-one year ago, Tom Powell was frustrated with his own kids. He was looking at toys he had given them for Christmas the previous year, toys that for months had gone untouched. That's when he decided to do his part every year to make sure no child goes without a merry Christmas, by lifting toys and lifting spirits.
Tom Powell organized the first Charlottesville Toy Lift 21 years ago.
"We had a goal of collecting 500 toys. The object was, I was going to stay in the bucket truck until we collected 500 toys, no matter how many days it took," said Powell.
Powell says the Toy Lift aims to fill the gaps where families fall through the cracks. They strive to provide gifts to children no matter the situation at home.
Powell only truly realized the need for the Toy Lift after the overwhelming support he received during the inaugural event. To his surprise, it only took about three hours to collect 500 toys, and by the end of the day, he had doubled his goal.
The first may have taken only three days to organize, but 21 years later, the planning takes up much of Powell's free time.
"It's a second full-time job. We literally finish in December and we start planning [the next lift] in January," said Powell.
Even stage-four cancer could not keep Tom Powell from making his annual Toy Lift appearance. Today, Powell is five year cancer-free, but admits a full day at the Toy Lift is not easy for his aging body. However, he's quick to say it's worth all the trouble.
"Usually by the end of the day I have no voice left and my legs are about gone. As long as I can walk around and stand up or be pushed around, I'm going to be here doing the Toy Lift," said Powell.
Powell says the Toy Lift helps the thousands of children who go without presents every year. There are three Toy Lift locations you can drop of toys on Friday: Fashion Square Mall in Albemarle County, the Crozet Shopping Center, and Lake Monticello. You can also make a monetary donation online.

Online Casino
The intention appears to be the one stop shop, for all things related to online gambling. The home page displays a good selection of information that includes casino names, incentives to play, costs, and even reviews. The detail of information that pertains to relevant casino related topics is excellent. At a first glance, this web site looks like a must see for someone who wants to educate themselves about real casino games or participate in an online gambling game.
The basic layout of the web site is clean and simple, yet it is organized in the following sections: benefits of the website, free bonuses, site layout explanation, and a chart that shows which casinos will allow players to join from the United States and the United Kingdom. Some of the benefits of the website include a surplus of information on a wide range of online gambling topics, as well as tips on winning and explanations on various casino card games. The web site briefly covers a few monetary incentives to join different sites and it is lacking a lot of marketing information, which is a relief. There is a helpful chart at the top of the page that shows what countries can play, between the UK and the US, it tells what the incentive driven free bonus is and there is a system of ratings a reviews.
Online Casino Free is a great concept, but there are few areas that could use minor tweaking. First of all, more casinos listed, would create more options which will appeal to a larger audience of gamblers. There should be several reviews for each site and the ratings need to have some variation to make them look more authentic. A few well thought out pictures, that are unrelated to marketing, would give it a little more substance as well. Overall, this site is off to a strong start with plenty of future potential as well.

Competency-based learning is a method of learning and instruction that is aimed more toward ensuring understanding and competency with different materials and skills, rather than accomplishment guided by time. This means that students in this type of program are notified of the skills they are expected to have by the end of a lesson or unit, and then the lessons are created in a way that ensures they will have the skills and competencies necessary. Evaluation is used not to determine a grade or indicate passing and failing of a course, but to ensure competency-based learning is successful and determine if more training is necessary.
A great deal of learning in schools is time-based learning, which means that a lesson plan is created with the goal that students will know certain things at certain points of time. For example, a plan dealing with sentence structure may indicate one week for parts of speech, one week for grammatical instruction, and one week for punctuation. This means that at the end of three weeks, in a time-based learning environment, the students in the class should know about sentence structure and be able to pass a test on that material. In a competency-based learning environment, however, the unit would be broken down into particular skills and knowledge the students should be competent in, and then evaluate that competency based on the completion of lessons, rather than the passage of time.
Competency-based learning is often used for professional training, and can be more effective in many environments than time-based learning. Someone learning to assemble a computer circuit board, for example, may be better served by a competency-based learning program than one that is time-based. The competency-based learning program would inform the student of what he or she is expected to know, and plainly show how he or she will be evaluated at the end of the program. There are no surprise tests in this type of program, and the student knows what is expected of him or her.
The student in the previous example would then begin to complete lessons and units about circuit board design and assembly. Each lesson would have a particular goal, usually understanding of a certain skill set, and the student's progress would be based on completion of lessons rather than days or hours spent in a classroom. Competency-based learning can be very individualized and works best for someone who has intrinsic motivation to learn the material. Once the student is finished with the lessons, he or she is then evaluated, often through practical demonstration, in order to ensure that the student is competent with regard to the skills and knowledge expected of him or her. The results of such evaluation are not typically indicative of a grade, but instead indicate areas of improvement or skills that require further training.
One of our editors will review your suggestion and make changes if warranted. Note that depending on the number of suggestions we receive, this can take anywhere from a few hours to a few days. Thank you for helping to improve wiseGEEK!

Report: McKinnie Forfeits Pro Bowl CheckPosted by on February 19, 2010 – 5:11 pm
According to this report by Chip Scoggins of the Star Tribune, Vikings OT Bryant McKinnie must forfeit the $22,500 game check that he would have received had he participated in this year's Pro Bowl. Scoggins also reports that McKinnie must repay the league $4,285.13 in expenses.
Many of the reports circulating about McKinnie's absence in the Pro Bowl stated that he had stayed out late on a few nights throughout the week prior to the game and documented these occurrences by tweeting about them. McKinnie missed 3 of the 4 practices and the team photo leading to his dismissal from the team.
In an interview with ESPN's Kevin Seifert on February 4, McKinnie admitted that he had gone out on a few late-night adventures, but the reason for him not attending practice was due to him getting sick.
"Yes, I did go out," McKinnie said. "I can go out and still get up the next morning. But my body started feeling a certain way."
The league and the Competition Committee will review the situation to deter similar conduct in the future.
Despite the fact that McKinnie may have upset the league, teammates, and his fans, he did not break any laws and no charges were filed, which should ultimately put an end to the case.

Osteoarthritis affects many, many people within the United States, and the main problem is pain and decreased physical activity. So what happens is, the individuals who have pain in their joints, all of a sudden they just stop moving. They stop doing things. Their function and participation in activities decreases, and that starts a huge cycle of a downward cycle where they become more sedentary. And what we need to emphasize is the importance of physical activity, exorcise, for these individuals who have osteoarthritis. And osteoarthritis may not be their first diagnosis. They may have multiple diagnoses, but have osteoarthritis, and that's the one that tends to decrease their function the most.
I'm hoping that I'll be able to meet with other individuals from other professions, occupational therapists, physicians, nursing, and as a team we can build something and try to work together in order to make osteoarthritis livable for individuals who have difficulty in their activities of daily living, help them in their functioning, help them in their mobility. And we can only do this if we work as a team. It can't just be physical therapists or just occupational therapists or just the physician. It has to be an entire team.
Hopefully we'll make a difference for individuals with OA. Hopefully we will get them to remain functional and continue, or get them to a point where they are going to be physically active throughout the rest of their lives so that they know how important that is in their disease process.
