Chest Pain
A thorough description of the pain is an essential first step in the diagnosis of chest pain
Quality of the pain
The patient with myocardial ischemia often vigorously denies feeling chest "pain." More typical descriptions include squeezing, tightness, pressure, constriction, strangling, burning, heart burn, fullness in the chest, a band-like sensation, knot in the center of the chest, lump in the throat, ache, heavy weight on chest (elephant sitting on chest), like a bra too tight, and toothache (when there is radiation to the lower jaw). In some cases, the patient cannot qualify the nature of the discomfort, but places his or her fist in the center of the chest (the "Levine sign").
A "sharp" or "stabbing" pain with a pleuritic or positional component that is fully reproducible by palpation, in patients who have no history of angina or myocardial infarction, probably have low-risk for the episode being ischemic.
Region or location of pain
Ischemic pain is a diffuse discomfort that may be difficult to localize. Pain that localizes to a small area on the chest is more likely of chest wall or pleural origin rather than visceral. Referred pain is an exception.
Radiation The pain of myocardial ischemia may radiate to the neck, throat, lower jaw, teeth, upper extremity, or shoulder. A wide extension of chest pain radiation increases the probability that it is due to myocardial infarction. Radiation to the right arm may be a particularly useful finding. In one study 48 of 51 patients who presented to an emergency department with chest pain that radiated to the right arm suffered from coronary disease; 41 had a myocardial infarction. Radiation to both arms is an even stronger predictor of acute myocardial infarction. Acute cholecystitis can present with right shoulder pain, although concomitant right upper quadrant or epigastric pain is more typical than chest discomfort. Chest pain that radiates between the scapulae may be due to aortic dissection.
Temporal elements
The time course of the onset of chest pain may be a very useful distinguishing feature:
- The pain associated with a pneumothorax or a vascular event such as aortic dissection or acute pulmonary embolism typically has an abrupt onset with the greatest intensity of pain at the beginning.
- The onset of ischemic pain is most often gradual with an increasing intensity over time. A crescendo pattern of pain can also be caused by esophageal disease.
- "Functional" or nontraumatic musculo-skeletal chest pain might have a much more vague onset.
- The duration of pain is also helpful. Chest discomfort that lasts only for seconds or pain that is constant over weeks is not due to ischemia. A span of years without progression makes it more likely that the origin of pain is functional.
- The pain from myocardial ischemia generally lasts for a few minutes; it may be more prolonged in the setting of a myocardial infarction.
- Myocardial ischemia may demonstrate a circadian pattern. It is more likely to occur in the morning than in the afternoon, correlating with an increase in sympathetic tone.

BiteMyApple.co: A web store for all of those Apple-related Kickstarter projects
There's a new website in town, one that is an online storefront for nothing but Apple-related Kickstarter projects. BiteMyApple.co is a Shopify store that sells many of those nifty Kickstarter products that you may have missed out on backing, but always wanted.
There are a number of items in the store that we've covered on TUAW in the past: Une Bobine, Adonit Jot Pro stylus, the ChargeCard iPhone charger in your wallet, the Glif, the Olloclip, the very cool OCDock, the SensuBrush brush stylus and the Woxom SlingShot. But the fun for me lies in the number of Kickstarter products I didn't even know about that are available for purchase.
Best of all, the products have all made it through the Kickstarter process and are in production, so there's no worry that you're going to be a backer of a project and then wait for your sample to show in the mail a year later. BiteMyApple.co is a perfect place to find those cool gadgets to make your Apple life complete.

This is a first for me.
A client brings is a 1/4 thick mirror for me to cut to size and frame.
I put the mirror into my wall cutter & score. When I press the lever to snap the glass, it won't break. I cut 1/4 thick mirrors with my wall cutter all the time with not problem. This mirror just won't snap in two.
I applied a little bit more pressure on the level until I see the 2 metal rails bend. I don't want to put more pressure on the lever for feat that it might break my wall cutter. Is there another way to cut this mirror or a technique to cut it using my wall cutter? (I have a fletcher 3000)
Thanks in advance,

Nearly forty years ago Ian Smith, the Prime Minister of Rhodesia, became the first and only white colonial ruler to break away from the British Crown. He had tired of London's nagging about the subjugation of Rhodesian blacks. In 1965 Smith declared independence. "The mantle of the pioneers has fallen on our shoulders," he said, calling on white Rhodesians to maintain standards in a "primitive country." Smith saw himself as an apostle of Cecil John Rhodes, the British magnate who gave Rhodesia its name, and who in the late nineteenth century duped black tribal leaders into signing over the fertile land to white pioneers. Although Rhodesia in 1965 was home to just over 200,000 whites and four million blacks, Smith shared Rhodes's belief that black majority rule would occur "never in a thousand years."
Smith was of course wrong. In 1980, after a civil war that cost 30,000 lives, the black majority took charge of the country, which was renamed Zimbabwe. Robert Mugabe—the nationalist leader whom Smith had branded a "Marxist terrorist" and jailed for more than a decade; a man who had once urged his followers to stop wearing shoes and socks to show they were willing to reject the trappings of European civilization—became President.
Zimbabwe, one of southern Africa's most prosperous countries, held great promise. Its Victoria Falls was one of the seven natural wonders of the world. Its gushing Zambezi River boasted wildlife and pulsing rapids. Its lush soil was the envy of a continent. And, though landlocked, the country had modernized sensibly: it had a network of paved roads, four airports, and, thanks to Mugabe's leadership, a rigorous and inclusive education system. Mugabe knew that whites drove the economy, and he was pragmatic. "Good old Bob," as white farmers quickly came to call him, kept his shoes and socks on, and urged reconciliation: "An evil remains an evil whether practiced by white against black or black against white," he said on the eve of independence. In a cordial meeting with Smith, Mugabe acknowledged that he had inherited the "jewel of Africa," and he vowed to keep it that way.
"I was very pleasantly surprised," says Smith, who still lives in Zimbabwe. "He spoke like a sophisticated Westerner. He was very courteous: it was 'Mr. Smith this' and 'Mr. Smith that.'" That Ian Smith has stayed in Zimbabwe is itself surprising. But it is even more remarkable that the man who once ran an election campaign promising "a whiter, brighter Rhodesia" does not live as other well-to-do Zimbabweans do—behind a bolted gate manned by forbidding security forces. For three years, with Zimbabwe imploding politically and economically, Mugabe has been inciting violence against whites. Yet Smith's spacious home, next door to the Cuban embassy in the capital, Harare, is shielded by neither a guard post nor a guard dog—only by purple jacaranda trees. When I visited him, earlier this year, Smith's driveway gate and his front door stood wide open, offering passersby an inviting glimpse of his plush Victorian furnishings.
Swallowed up by a Queen Anne armchair, Smith, a bone-thin eighty-four-year-old, told me that all he ever wanted to do in life was manage his 4,000-acre farm, 220 miles southwest of Harare. He has run the farm since he returned from flying Spitfires for the British in World War II. He grows oranges and seed potatoes, and raises cattle. "I hope I don't sound arrogant," he said, "but you won't find a better-run piece of land." Smith insists that when Mugabe banned him from politics, in 1987, he was glad for the opportunity to return to full-time farming. But in Zimbabwe, where whites owned the finest farmland and most blacks remained dispossessed two decades after independence, politics and land became inseparable. A few days before my visit Smith was reading the morning newspaper when he came across a government notice listing the latest batch of farms designated for seizure by the state. His farm was among them.
For a man who had just learned that he would lose his livelihood, his passion, and his family home, Smith was strangely unflustered. Largely ignored since independence, he seems to have found in the blind bungling of Robert Mugabe's regime a grim redemption for white rule. "You can't imagine how many people come up to me and say, 'We didn't agree with you back then. We thought you were too rigid and inflexible. But now we see you were right. You were so right: they were not fit to govern.'"
The "they," of course, is the black majority. But Smith is drawing the wrong lesson. Although Zimbabwe is as broken as any country on the planet, it offers a testament not to some inherent African inability to govern but to a minority rule as oppressive and inconsiderate of the welfare of citizens as its ignominious white predecessor. The country's economy in 1997 was the fastest growing in all of Africa; now it is the fastest shrinking. A onetime net exporter of maize, cotton, beef, tobacco, roses, and sugarcane now exports only its educated professionals, who are fleeing by the tens of thousands. Although Zimbabwe has some of the richest farmland in Africa, children with distended bellies have begun arriving at school looking like miniature pregnant women.
How could the breadbasket of Africa have deteriorated so quickly into the continent's basket case? The answer is Robert Mugabe, now seventy-nine, who by his actions has compiled something of a "how-to" manual for national destruction. Although many of his methods have been applied elsewhere, taken as a whole his ten-step approach is more radical and more comprehensive than that of other despots. The Zimbabwe case offers some important insights. It illustrates the prime importance of accountability as an antidote to idiocy and excess. It highlights the lasting effects of decolonization—limited Western influence on the continent and a reluctance by African leaders to criticize their own. And it offers a warning about how much damage one man can do, very quickly.
The Harare Sports Club, a Rhodesian throwback, sits kitty-corner from Mugabe's private residence. I was told ahead of time by locals that the patrons would be mostly white ex-farmers "crying into their beer." Inside, towering, bull-necked men lined the bar. Most were chain-smoking, and they did seem quite wobbly. A television hanging from the ceiling played reruns of Tim Henman's latest Wimbledon tease. At the entrance to the club is a sports shop, which sells squash rackets and cricket bats. The place is Old England in a capsule, and yet the paint is chipped, the tabs are unpaid, and the lively chatter, once about crop yields and rugby scores, now focuses on court dates and emigration plans.

As Alicia unveils a sculpture of the Thing, the Fantastic Four read the latest news reports of the X-Men. Coincidentally enough, the Puppet Master and the Mad Thinker have teamed up to get revenge on the Fantastic Four, creating a puppet of the X-Men's leader Professor X in order to use the X-Men as their tools of revenge.
Manipulating Professor X into ordering the X-Men to go and attack the Fantastic Four, they meet the FF at the Baxter Building under the pretense of making a visit to meet the group on friendly terms. A battle erupts between the two groups, however the X-Men are forced to flee, taking Sue hostage.
Tracking them back to the Mad Thinker and the Puppet Master's base, learning the truth the X-Men resist the Professors control over them until they can destroy the Mad Thinker's puppet of the Professor. The X-Men and the Fantastic Four then team up to fight off the Mad Thinker's Awesome Android, and with the help of Professor X's telepathic abilities deactivate the android. In the aftermath of battle the Mad Thinker and Puppet Master manage to escape, and the X-Men are ordered to return to base, leaving the FF to take the Awesome Android into their possession.
- Sue Storm mistakenly refers to the X-Men as having defeated the Space Phantom. The Space Phantom was defeated by the Avengers in Avengers #2.
- Cyclops' thought bubbles reveal that he was aware of the Mad Thinker's involvement before the Mad Thinker reveals himself to the X-Men. This appears to be an error.
- The caption window states it was the Thing that destroyed the Puppet Master's puppet, when it was in fact Beast.

Open Mic - The Reserve Casino - Henderson, NV.
Lucky Break - Lone Butte - Phoenix, Arizona
Live DJ - Almaza Hookah Bar & Lounge - Las Vegas, NV.
Sold Out Show at Gameworks - Las Vegas, NV.
Several Karaoke Performances in various states
I teach most students in person but I am also available via Skype. I started out teaching friends and they are amazed at how I can get them to play guitar in less than 5 minutes. This is actually my first attempt at teaching professionally, I usually just manage bands and teach them all how to hone their skills individually and better manage their technique before performances through coaching and overseeing rehearsal.
An actor, novelist, developer, singer-songwriter, performing artist, lyrical dominator, an aggressive audio & video producer, and Chance is a creative web & graphic designer. Chance started out publishing songs on MySpace in 2003 and eventually started writing songs for his underground album and released Bits and Pieces, which was then independently published in 2005 after his few year stint with crafting several underground bands where he taught strength in honing each one of the member's skills. Listen to Chance's latest single, Pearl Gates on SoundCloud, and soon you can hear Pearl Gates via Chance on Pandora Internet Radio. Even though Chance has been compared to artists like Timbaland, Eminem & Billy Idol, he makes it a point to differentiate his sound from familiarized mainstream music. Now, Chance is currently working on a new book series, Ninja, and in the process of writing a new album (Title TBA) and is attending acting classes at Waymire Studio. Check out Chance's Acting Portfolio
Chance was born in the small town of Jennings, LA., and was mostly raised in Houston, TX., where he would pick up playing guitar and drawing as some of his creative hobbies. Chance loves performing, but he also likes spending time with his family and donating his services & time to benefit people struggling with children that have disabilities. He also likes cooking for families with children at the Ronald McDonald House Charities, and being a volunteer at the Stand Up For Kids charity in Phoenix, Arizona.
However, his passion is concerned with helping the VA Surge Presidential Petition created by Montel Williams and the Ambient Wellness Center. Chance is also an advocate to many A&E shows like Duck Dynasty, Flipping Vegas and Big Smo.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia - View original article
Age of candidacy is the minimum age at which a person can legally qualify to hold certain elected government offices. In many cases, it also determines the age at which a person may be eligible to stand for an election or be granted ballot access.
The first known example of a law enforcing age of candidacy was the Lex Villia Annalis, a Roman law enacted in 180 BCE which set the minimum ages for senatorial magistrates.[1]
Many youth rights groups view current age of candidacy requirements as unjustified age discrimination.[2] Occasionally people who are younger than the minimum age will run for an office in protest of the requirement or because they don't know that the requirement exists. On extremely rare occasions, young people have been elected to offices they do not qualify for and have been deemed ineligible to assume the office.
In 1934, Rush Holt of West Virginia was elected to the Senate of the United States at the age of 29. Since the U.S. Constitution requires senators to be at least 30, Holt was forced to wait until his 30th birthday, six months after the start of the session, before being sworn in.[3]
In 1954, Richard Fulton won election to the Tennessee Senate. Shortly after being sworn in, Fulton was ousted from office because he was only 27 years old at the time. The Tennessee State Constitution required that senators be at least 30.[4] Rather than hold a new election, the previous incumbent, Clifford Allen, was allowed to resume his office for another term. Fulton went on to win the next State Senate election in 1956 and was later elected to the US House of Representatives where he served for 10 years.
On several occasions, the Socialist Workers Party (USA) has nominated candidates too young to qualify for the offices they were running for. In 1972, Linda Jenness ran as the SWP presidential candidate, although she was only 31 at the time. Since the U.S. Constitution requires that the President and Vice President be at least 35 years old, Jenness was not able to receive ballot access in several states in which she otherwise qualified.[5] Despite this handicap, Jenness still received 83,380 votes.[6] In 2004, the SWP nominated Arrin Hawkins as the party's vice-presidential candidate, although she was only 28 at the time. Hawkins was also unable to receive ballot access in several states due to her age.[7]
In the United States many groups have attempted to lower age of candidacy requirements in various states. In 1994, South Dakota voters rejected a ballot measure that would have lowered the age requirements to serve as a State Senator or State Representative from 25 to 18. In 1998, however, they approved a similar ballot measure that reduced the age requirements for those offices from 25 to 21. In 2002, Oregon voters rejected a ballot measure that would have reduced the age requirement to serve as a State Representative from 21 to 18. However, in New York State, the age requirement for State Senator or Assemblyman is 18.
During the early 2000s, the British Youth Council and other groups successfully campaigned to lower age of candidacy requirements in the United Kingdom.[8] The age of candidacy was reduced from 21 to 18 in England, Wales and Scotland on 1 January 2007,[9] when section 17 of the Electoral Administration Act 2006 entered into force.[10]
In Australia, any person 18 years of age or older may stand for election to public office at federal, state or local government level.
The youngest ever member of the House of Representatives was 20 year old Wyatt Roy elected in the 2010 federal election after the Electoral Act 1918 was amended to reduce the age of candidacy for that office from 21 to 18.[citation needed]
In Austria, a person must be 18 years of age or older to stand in elections to the European Parliament or National Council.[11] The Diets of regional Länder are able to set a minimum age lower than 18 for candidacy in elections to the Diet itself as well as to municipal councils in the Land.[12] In presidential elections the candidacy age is 35.
According to the Constitution of Belize, a person must be at least 18 years old to be elected as a member of the House of Representatives and must be at least 30 to be Speaker of the House. A person must be at least 18 years old to be appointed to the Senate and must be at least 30 to be President or Vice-President of the Senate. As only members of the House of Representatives are eligible to be appointed Prime Minister, the Prime Minister must be at least 18 years old. A person must also be at least 18 years old to be elected to a village council.[13]
The Brazilian Constitution (Article 14, Section 3 (VI)) defines 35 years as the minimum age for someone to be elected President, Vice-President or Senator; 30 years for state Governor or Vice-Governor; 21 for Federal or State Deputy, Mayor or Vice-Mayor; and 18 for city Councilman.[14]
In Canada, any person 18 years of age or older may stand for election to public office. However, to be appointed to the Senate, one must be at least 30 years of age, must possess land worth at least $4,000 in the province for which he or she is appointed, and must own real and personal property worth at least $4,000, above his or her debts and liabilities. These restrictions were most recently enforced in 1997.[citation needed]
In Chile the minimum age required to be elected President of the Republic is 35 years on the day of the election. Before the 2005 reforms the requirement was 40 years, and from 1925 to 1981 it was 30 years. For senators it is 35 years (between 1981 and 2005 it was 40 years) and for deputies it is 21 years (between 1925 and 1970 it was 35 years).[15]
In Cyprus the minimum age to be elected president is 35 years.
In Denmark, any adult 18 years of age or older can become a candidate and be elected in any public election.
In Estonia, any citizen 18 years of age or older can be elected in local elections, and 21 years or older in parliamentary elections. Minimum age for the President of Estonia is 40.[16]
In Germany, any citizen 18 years of age or older can be elected in national, regional or local elections. Minimum age for the President of Germany is 40 by constitution.
In Hong Kong a person must be at least 21 to be candidate in a district council or Legislative Council election. A person must be at least 40 to be candidate in the Chief Executive election, and also at least 40 to be candidate in the election for the President of the Legislative Council from among the members of the Legislative Council.
In Indonesia a person must be at least:
In Italy a person must be at least 50 to be President of the Republic, 40 to be a Senator, or 25 to be a Deputy, as specified in the 1947 Constitution of Italy. 18 years of age is sufficient, however, to be elected member of the Council of Regions, Provinces, and Municipalities (Communes).
In Iran a person must be at least 21 years old to run for President.[17]
In Mexico a person must be at least 35 to be President, 25 to be a Senator, or 21 to be a Congressional Deputy, as specified in the 1917 Constitution of Mexico.
In the Netherlands, any adult 18 years of age or older can become a candidate and be elected in any public election.
In Nigeria, a person must be at least 40 years of age to be elected President or Vice President, 35 to be a Senator or State Governor, and 30 to be a Representative in parliament.
In Norway, any adult 18 years of age or older can become a candidate and be elected in any public election. Mette Hanekamhaug was elected to the national parliament at 22 years of age in 2009.
Section 47, Clause 1 of the 1996 Constitution of South Africa states that "Every citizen who is qualified to vote for the National Assembly is eligible to be a member of the Assembly", defaulting to Section 46 which "provides for a minimum voting age of 18 years" in National Assembly elections; Sections 106 and 105 provide the same for provincial legislatures.
In Turkey, a person must be at least 40 to be President. The age of candidacy for the Premiership is the same as the age for parliamentary eligibility. In 2006, a proposal was submitted by the ruling Justice and Development Party to reduce the age for parliamentary eligibility from 30 to 25. The Parliament approved the proposal on October 2006. As of 2012[update], Turkey is considering lowering the age of candidacy to 18.[clarification needed]
In the UK (other than in Northern Ireland) a person must be aged 18 or over to stand in elections to all parliaments, assemblies, and councils at the European, UK, devolved, or local level. This age requirement also applies in elections to any individual elective public office; the main example is that of an elected mayor, whether of London or a local authority. There are no higher age requirements for particular positions in public office. Candidates are required to be aged 18 on both the day of nomination and the day of the poll. This was reduced from 21 by the Electoral Administration Act 2006.
In the United States, a person must be at least 35 to be President or Vice President, 30 to be a Senator, or 25 to be a Representative, as specified in the U.S. Constitution. Most states in the U.S. also have age requirements for the offices of Governor, State Senator, and State Representative.[18] Some states have a minimum age requirement to hold any elected office (usually 21 or 18).
In Venezuela, a person must be at least 30 to be President or Vice President,[19] 21 to be a deputy for the National Assembly [20] and 25 to be the Governor of a state.[21]

Chemical Extraction
|Grand Theft Auto Online
|Lester Crest
|Humane Labs and Research
|Conditions of mission failure:
|Team lives run out.
Van destroyed.
Cash and RP will vary depending on time spent
|1-6 Players
|Unlocked by:
|Achieving level 65.
- "I need you to go shopping. There's a particular type of plastic explosive, that I need for a particular job, that requires a particular base chemical. I have it on good authority that a large batch of that chemical is loaded into a van ready for transportation from Humane Labs. You might need to hack the security system to get into the garage. Collect the van and drop it at my safehouse in the desert."
- — Description
Chemical Extraction is a mission in Grand Theft Auto Online given to the player by Lester Crest. It is available for up to 6 players.
Lester sends the player a text notifying him of a high-priority shipment under heavy guard at the Humane laboratory. Players must travel to the laboratory and fight through hired Merryweather security to a garage terminal, which in turn will open a locked area and grant access to the van. The player(s) must then return the van to Lester's warehouse without damaging it or its contents whilst being followed by several enemy cars and a helicopter.
Mission objectives
- Go to the Humane Laboratory.
- Hack the terminal.
- Defend your teammate while they hack the terminal. - (Non-hacker player screen)
- Steal the van.
- Deliver the van to Lester's safehouse.
- It is possible that the shipment was being produced under watch by the IAA, similar to the stolen nerve toxin seen in Monkey Business at the same laboratory. This would explain the Merryweather presence, as they work closely with the IAA in defensive domestic operations. However, it is also possible that Humane hired them separately.
- This mission was taken offline in the 1.15 update, due to a glitch involving hacking. The glitch also affected Rich Men in Richman, Hack and Dash and Stocks and Scares, all of which were taken offline as well. All four mission were reintroduced to Online mode in the 1.16 update.

I completely agree @matt40k and actually I think I said that all though my Aspen tenure: while I understand it, I loathe the fact that you cannot make the system as good as it possibly could be because you have had to make it open to the rest of the market, and personally I don't feel that is fair. But then it was the same with Microsoft, they made the best products (lets not argue that point before anyone starts, I'm making a point) but forced to do things so others had a fair chance.
End of the day, other providers a) need to step up to the mark in terms of making it equal or better, and these days there are one or two! And b) are actively selling in vast numbers, taking away just as many as you are gaining, as each MIS is different. I have always said, there is an MIS for every school, not necessarily the same one. One just fits better.
Or even... give a useful reason, perhaps a possible way to fix the error... or is that too stupid?

Portland Museum of Art
This angular I. M. Pei–designed building in the heart of downtown Portland is not only the city's shining cultural institution; it also houses the state's oldest museum (and with 17,000 objects in its collection, the largest). In addition to crafts and early-American furniture, the museum is home to some impressive works by American artists—many of them painters with Maine affiliations: Andrew Wyeth, Winslow Homer, Edward Hopper. The more international in-house Joan Whitney Payson Collection also features heavy-hitters, with works by Picasso, Matisse, and Monet. The PMA's biennial shines a spotlight on contemporary Maine artists as well, and it's well worth timing a visit to take in the surfeit of local talent. Visitors can also partake in everything from watercolor classes to jazz brunches in the café on Sundays. In 2006, the museum acquired Winslow Homer's home and studio on Prout's Neck, and hopes to open it to the public by 2010.
Insider Tip: Friday evenings, thanks to support from L. L. Bean, are free to the public.
Admission: $10 adults; $8 students and seniors; $4 children (ages 6–17). Open Tuesday–Thursday and Saturday–Sunday 10 a.m.–5 p.m., Friday 10 a.m.–9 p.m.; also open Monday 10 a.m.–5 p.m. from June to mid-October. Guided tours daily at 2 p.m.
Tune in on Wednesdays at 10PM ET for Top Chef: Boston, the 12th season of Bravo's Emmy-Award winning, hit reality series.

While the color was perfect for hiding my hideous dark circles (we're talking purple, here), this concealer was WAY too cakey and ended up looking almost chalky by the lunchtime each day. I used it for a week, trying different application approaches and using different eye creams under it and could never get it work. Back to Sephora it went.
I would have rated this a 5 if the packaging were more sanitary and there were a better color selection.
-Goes on easily
-Doesn't crease in underye lines
-Stays on all day
-Pot container not very sanitary having to dip finger/brush in pot
-Poor color selection
I use this every day to cover my perpetual dark circles, and it works great - I got a slightly warmer tone so I don't end up with a greyish under-eye area. Looked better when I lived in California and I was more tanned, but now I moved back to Asia and got a bit paler - still works great though.
I gave a 4 because on my super oily skin it doesn't last the whole day, and I end up having to retouch when I'm at work or something. That and it is pretty pricey - but I got easily persuaded by the salesperson after she tried it on me and I saw what a miracle worker this product is!
I have recently purchased this concealer and it is really good. I would say the best concealer I have ever had.
What I like about it is that it covers dark circles and eye bags unbelievable well while looking very natural. It actually melts in the skin and sets really well with powder. You only need a little amount as it blends really well and it is very creamy. It is also very brightening so you don't need to use a highlighter after I'd you don't want to.
The con is the price - at 27 EUR for a tiny tinie pot it is very expensive in my opinion.
However, I would repurchase unless I find a better one or one as goos as this one at a cheaper price.
this is actually a really good concealer, its creamy, covers dark circles well and it lasts the whole day ( pretty much)
the only downside for me was that i bought a shade too dark, the stupid sales lady kept on saying that i was a number 3 and that i wouldn't be able to use 2, so i listened to her and i bought 3, but as i used it, it didn't really ' brighten' my eyes because it's so dark, my friend who has number 2 kindly let me borrow it, it immediately brightened my eyes and it was perfect!
overall great concealer, just make sure you get the right shade!!
also, 1 lippie down because i bought the wrong shade, and also the jar which you have to dip your finger in it is quite unhygienic
The lightest shade suited my skin colour perfectly and didn't crease. It felt like velvet going on, really gorgeous. Coverage was excellent and for once I looked amazing.
But it immediately started stinging like crazy and gave me very sore burny under eyes and watery eyes. I'm so disappointed because I really need a good concealer for my dark purple-red-grey circles. It hurt for over two hours after removal.
Can anyone recommend a concealer that won't hurt sensitive skin? I want one just like this one but less painful.
I had a professional makeup at Laura Mercier and I was shown how to use it, this product should be followed by Secret Brightening Powder, then eye make up will last for the whole day! Amazing!
Updating my review, I found another concealer(La Mer), which is my easier to use, thus I will not repurchase this one again.
3 out of 3 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
Nice full coverage salmon-toned concealer to cover those deep dark circles under the eyes, which I suffer from. Very creamy. I'll be honest- it does crease, which is why I want to try the Bobbi Brown one after this. It still works very well though.
3 out of 3 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
it covers my dark circles fine, but it becomes too orange and dry after a while, setting into the fine lines. i can use only if I put it first under my eye area and after I shoud put on tinted moisturizer, than it looks pretty good, but overall cakey. The main problem to me is the orange color, i use number 2.
maybe my skin is too dry, i'll try to change my eye care line to reduce the dryness.
La Prairie concealer is much better by the way.
This is great for undereye circles, though not so much for blemishes-it can get very cakey!!
The packaging is very comfortable to use.
I'm nw15-20 and #1 is great for me.
Bottom line - if you want an undereye concealer and don't have major dark circles, this concealer for you. If you have major dark circles or you need a blemish concealer, skip this...

The problem of Bankia is that it hits the core of the Spain's traditional power. Many of the so called "Madrid's style entrepreneurs" . The entire right wing of PP party. Valencia PP elite...and even Real Madrid, Iberia .... This time they will not be able to blame the "regions". It is impossible that the Spanish central bank, the CNMV and former and actual finance ministries didn't know about the real situation. Who will face any responsability?
Good description!!! we, the Spanisrds, we already know that no matter what happends in Spain, no internal investigations are carried away to clarify and face responsabilities.
there is no way the two big parties can get to political arrangments in order to make the country better, except when it comes to protect their interst and benefits.
That is why the 15M muvement (occupy movement) is absolutely right about their protest.
In spain we always say that Africa starts in the Pyrenees. Today, we should apologise to the Africans for having wasted our chance to be a serious country.
Many bondholders are already hesitant to invest in more PIGS bond even though they are unlikely be whacked because of government rescue. For tax-payers sake, such investors are in need of a haircut for the mess they get in because of their greeds.
spain was always doomed to fail..the foundations of the economy were weak, construction activity made up a lot of the gdp. maybe a little bit of china similarity there...
this is just the begining, BBV will also go bankrupt..spain will leave the euro along with portugal and probably italy. single currency will collapse and german austerity will be one the big reasons to blame.
absurd economics..common monetary policy without common fiscal led to quite a few countries taking advantage of the stable euro and wasting money on unproductive assets
now the hangover begins
It seems that the information has a delay arriving from Spain to India. What you call BBV is now called BBVA after it merged with Argentaria more than a decade ago. This is one of the most solid banks in the world and its accounts are amazing. Its business is very diversified and extends all around the world, what reduces its vulnerability to the Spanish situation in a big extent. The BBVA, along with Santander, in spite of the Spanish crisis, continue their expansion in emerging markets and in the United States, and this is a symptom of their good financial situation.
It sounds great to feel like analysts and to say that a bank is going to go bankrupt, but maybe, and this is only my opinion, it is better to at least know the real name and the real situation of the bank. Please update your information and do not think that because of being Spanish a bank should be in a terrible situation.
The debt crisis is in part the consequence of many uninformed people saying and making stupid predictions in order to generate panic.
OUCH! that must have hurt to come back with a scathing reply on a mispelled name of a soon to be defunct bank...BBVA..happy now.
lets get some things straight, if spain was still using the pesetta (dont know the spelling, am sure you will help correct it)..the currency would have been devalued by god knows what amount?, and then the shit would have hit the fan. if spain's problems are huge despite the eruo, one can only imagine what would have happened to the economy if pesetta was still around, 1992 devaluation of pound will look like a joke compared to the current scenario.
now to the bank's balance sheet..it is good that the bank is diversifying away from sapnish assets, but the bad bank of spanish assets is large enough to wipe out the capital base..as in the case of bankia, even after putting the bad bank in a separate vehicle didnt help saving bankia.
satander is a solid bank, but my doubts are there on BBVA.
as far as people spreading fear, if it was that easy everyone would be in the streets, bankruptcy is plain and simple, it is not due to some one talking about, it is about the firm's policies.
and you are here commenting that debt crisis is due to people spreading panic. buddy, wake up and smell the roses...this is not disneyland
You should learn to read. First of all, I am not talking about the Spanish situation, which in fact I know very well due to my job and I do not need any further explanation. I am just talking about your indiscriminate attack to BBVA without knowing pretty much about it. Just for curiosity do you know something about the Spanish economic history and the peseta devaluations of the 90s?
You continue to show your complete ignorance about BBVA when you mention that "its bad bank of Spanish assets is large enough to wipe out the capital base..as in the case of Bankia". BBVA does not have a "bad bank" and its amount of Spanish assets is not comparable with the one of Bankia in any aspect. I could explain it deeply but I do not want to waste my time, please read their accounts. I will just say that if you think that Santander is a solid bank you should apply it also to BBVA, as their situation is so similar, but I do not expect you to know the real situation of this two banks.
To finish, and this is the last thing I say, you should notice that I have mentioned that the crisis is "in part" consequence of uninformed people spreading unsupported predictions. I do not have mentioned the extent of that part.
Well done VS-you've just come across/crashed into the typical Spanish reply;deflect the problem,deny it etc,pick up on a spelling(typo) mistake.Of course you are totally right but both BBVA and San are holding property values at such high levels they'll have to sell off some Latin,Asian,U_S or even British businesses to fill the balance if and when a proper audit is made and real house price values are put on their stock. Plus they are still paying into the FGD
thanks for the reading advice, my english is better than trying to learn spanish way of accounting for bad debt. you sya BBVA does not have "bad bank"...that is stretching the truth a little bit, dont you think.
OK on your point of misinformation, lets assume people like me had not spread the word, you think the spanish banks or for that matter euorpean banks in general would have been much healthier...that is wishful thinking.
we sitting in India didnt cause the crisis and we may be slow on the uptake of the spanish situation, any investor with cash will know that spain is the last place one would bet on right now.
spain's problems are just begining, it will need more than 150B euros to steady the ship and there will be debt haircuts, liquidity crunch and so on.
the party has just started..my friend all your so called knowledge about the spain or spanish banks aint gonna help convince investors...story is old and stinks now. this summer could be an interesting one. with 25% unemployment, govt revenues falling, deficit increasing, liquidity crunch etc will bring a heavy toll.
as far as pesetta devaluation, just fyi, i did a forex stint in london trading in european currencies. my knowledge is limited but enough to be dangerous.
My dear friend, I am writing from Spain, and what you are saying about the BBVA, is exactely what the poloticians and the Spanish central Bank was saying about Bankia, only one week befor its fall.
BBVA is run by professional bankers and not like BANKIA run by politicians, so I am sure they are not in same position. But said that, after what we have seen I am afraid not a single bank will miss the mistrust of anybody.
Regarding Spain living the EuroZone, why should that be bad? We are living right now with European standards, but suffering salary, social, education and sanitary cuts. Maybe by bring back our independency on central bank we can at least live like people and not like slaves.
I assumed that The Economist readers were smarter than to recommend this heap of nonsense.
Rather than bailing out too big to fail banks and turn them in zombies sucking up tax-payer funds, it would be better if the regulators break up these banks which will provide more jobs, lending etc for the shaky economy.
Indeed. Bailing them out just continues the malinvestments and prohibits economic growth.

"John Paul II will entrust our important prayer intentions to the intercession of the Hearts of Jesus and Mary close to the Father," organizers said.
The purpose of the worldwide Rosary will be "to pray for peace, for the Church, for France, for the world and for the mission of each one of us in particular."
Those who wish to join in the prayer should note that 5:00pm Paris time is 11:00 a.m. Eastern time and 8:00 a.m. Pacific. More information can be found at: http://www.festivalmarial.com

Gerald Wayne Grote (born October 6, 1942) is a former professional baseball player. He played the majority of his Major League Baseball career as a catcher for the New York Mets and was regarded as one of the best defensive catchers of his era.[1][2]
Grote was raised in San Antonio, Texas. When he was just ten years old, he and his family were caught in an F-4 tornado. His mother, father and two sisters made it to safety, however, he lost his grandmother in the storm.[3] Grote attended Douglas MacArthur High School, where he played on the baseball team as a pitcher, catcher and third baseman.[4] As a high school pitcher, he threw a no-hitter and a one hitter.[4] Grote played for Trinity University in 1962, and led the Tigers in batting average (.413), home runs (five), RBI (19), runs (29), and hits (31).[5]
After one season at Trinity University, Grote was signed as an amateur free agent by the Houston Colt .45s in 1962, and was assigned to play for their minor league affiliate, the San Antonio Bullets.[4] At the age of 20, he made his major league debut with the Colt .45s on September 21, 1963 as a late-inning defensive replacement for John Bateman, and hit a sacrifice fly to score Bob Aspromonte in his only at-bat.[6] For the season he appeared in three games, including on September 27, when every starter in the Colts' line-up was a rookie.[7]
In 1964, Grote platooned with Bateman behind the plate, however, the Colts also experimented with young catchers Dave Adlesh and John Hoffman as well, as neither Grote nor Bateman hit for a very high average that season (.181 and .190, respectively).[4] Grote was the Colts' catcher on April 23, when Ken Johnson became the first pitcher in major league history to lose a complete game no-hitter in nine innings.[8]
In 1965, the newly renamed Houston Astros remained unsettled behind the plate, with former All-Star Gus Triandos and prospect Ron Brand being added to the mix. Grote spent the entire season with Houston's Triple A Pacific Coast League affiliate, the Oklahoma City 89ers, where he batted .265 with eleven home runs. At the end of the season, he was traded to the New York Mets for pitcher Tom Parsons.[9]
Grote became the starting catcher for the Mets immediately upon his arrival in New York. Though he batted only .237 with three home runs in 1966, his handling of the Mets' young pitchers and his solid defensive skills were instrumental in helping the Mets avoid 100 losses and a last place finish for the first time in franchise history.[10] Grote earned a reputation with his teammates and opponents as highly competitive, developing the trademark of rolling the ball to the far side of the pitcher's mound (closest to the Mets' dugout) while leaving the field after his pitcher ended an inning with a strikeout. This necessitated the opposing team's pitcher having to walk further to stoop and retrieve the ball.
In 1968, Grote was hitting over .300 at mid-season and was recognized as one of the top catchers in the National League when he was selected to be the starting catcher in the 1968 All-Star Game.[11][12] He became only the second Met player in franchise history after Ron Hunt to earn a starting role in an All-Star game.[13] Grote was hitless in two at-bats during the game.[12] He ended the year with a .282 batting average along with three home runs and 31 runs batted in.[1]
The 1969 season would be a memorable one for Grote and the Mets. The Chicago Cubs had been in first place since the beginning of the season and had a nine game lead as late as August 15.[14] However, the Cubs began to falter while the Mets continued to play well. When the two teams met for a two-game series on September 8, the Mets won both games to move just a half game behind the Cubs.[15] Aside from calling Tom Seaver's five-hit pitching performance in the second game, Grote drove in the Mets' seventh and final run of the game.[16] The following day, the Mets swept the Montreal Expos in a doubleheader, with Grote catching all 21 innings. Coupled with a Cubs loss, the Mets moved into first place for the first time in their history. The Mets stayed in the lead for the rest of the season, finishing with a 37-11 record in their final 48 games while the Cubs slumped to a 9-17 record in their final 26 games, and clinched the National League Eastern Division title on September 24.[17][18]
Grote finished the season with a .252 average and produced career-highs with 6 home runs and 40 runs batted in, but it was his defensive skills that proved most valuable for the Mets.[1][19] Grote posted a .991 fielding percentage and his 56.3% caught stealing percentage was second-best among National League catchers.[20] He was also given credit for guiding the Mets young pitching staff that led the league in victories and shutouts and finished second in team earned run average.[4][21]
The Mets went on to sweep the Atlanta Braves in the 1969 National League Championship Series but, were heavy underdogs heading into the 1969 World Series against the Baltimore Orioles. Following a 4-1 loss in the series opener with Cy Young award winner Seaver on the mound, it seemed as if the Mets had little chance against the Orioles.[22] However, the Mets bounced back, winning the next four games to capture their first world championship.[23] Besides catching every inning in the post-season, Grote contributed offensively with a single in Game Two to keep a ninth inning rally alive and Al Weis followed with the game-winning hit.[24] With Game Four tied, Grote doubled to start the tenth inning, then pinch runner Rod Gaspar scored the winning run when an errant throw hit J.C. Martin on the wrist.[25] With Grote calling the pitches, the Mets pitching staff held the Orioles hitters to a .146 batting average during the series.[26]
Grote and the 1969 Mets became an improbable part of baseball history. In their previous seven seasons the Mets had finished in last place five times. Their sudden turn of fortune in 1969 and their subsequent upset victory in the World Series stunned the sports world and became one of the more storied events in baseball lore.[27] The team became known as the Miracle Mets.[27]
Grote continued to provide the Mets with good defense, leading National League catchers in 1970 and 1971 in putouts and in range factor.[28][29] In 1972, Grote played in only 64 games due to injuries and in late September he had surgery to remove bone chips from his right elbow.[4]
In May 1973, Grote broke a bone in his right arm when he was hit by a pitch and went on the disabled list for two months.[4] When he returned in mid-July, the Mets began winning, climbing from last place on August 30 to win the National League Eastern Division pennant.[18][30][31] They then proceeded to defeat the heavily-favored Cincinnati Reds in the 1973 National League Championship Series.[32] In the World Series, the Mets took the Oakland Athletics to the seventh and final game, before they were defeated.[33] As he had in 1969, Grote caught every inning of every post-season game for the Mets in 1973.[4] Looking back on his two pennant-winning seasons with the Mets, Grote said, "It (the 1969 season) was no miracle. Now, '73 was a miracle."[3]
In 1974, Grote was batting .287 with four home runs and 27 runs batted in to earn his second All-Star selection, however, injuries were beginning to take their toll and he split the catching duties with Duffy Dyer.[4][34] Grote rebounded in 1975, posting a career-high .295 batting average in 119 games and led all National League catchers with a .995 fielding percentage.[1][35] At Veterans Stadium on July 4, 1975, Grote stepped in as a pinch hitter against long time teammate Tug McGraw, who had been traded to the Philadelphia Phillies during the off-season. With the Mets down 3-2, Grote connected for a game winning two run home run.[36]
By the 1977 season, John Stearns had taken over as the Mets' starting catcher as back injuries continued to plague Grote and in August, after twelve seasons with the Mets, he was traded to the Los Angeles Dodgers for two players to be named later.[4][9] Neither of the minor leaguers the Dodgers sent to the Mets ever reached the majors.
Shortly after joining the Dodgers, Grote struck out in his only career at-bat against former battery-mate Tom Seaver, who was now with the Reds.[37] During his two seasons with the Dodgers, he played part time as a backup to Steve Yeager and appeared in two World Series against the New York Yankees. He retired from professional baseball after the 1978 season, only to be lured out of retirement in 1981 by the Kansas City Royals, who were experiencing a shortage of catchers.[38] On July 3, 1981, at the age of 38, Grote went 3 for 4 with a grand slam home run, a double, and a stolen base, driving in a team-record seven runs.[4] After another short stint with the Dodgers, he retired for good after the 1981 season.
In a 16 year career, Grote played in 1,421 games, accumulating 1,092 hits in 4,339 at bats for a .252 career batting average along with 39 home runs and 404 runs batted in.[1] He ended his career with a .991 fielding percentage,[1] which at the time of his retirement was eighth highest all-time among catchers. On April 22, 1970, Grote set a major league record with 20 putouts in a game when Tom Seaver threw 19 strikeouts against the San Diego Padres.[39][40] He is the Mets all-time leader in games played as a catcher (1,176).[41] Grote caught 116 shutouts in his career, ranking him 15th all-time among catchers.[42]
Grote called the pitches for some of the most outstanding pitchers of his era, including Tom Seaver, Jerry Koosman, Tug McGraw, Nolan Ryan, Tommy John, Don Sutton and Dan Quisenberry.[2] He possessed a strong and accurate throwing arm against opposing baserunners. Hall of Fame inductee Lou Brock found Grote to be one of the most difficult catchers on which to attempt a stolen base,[2] and though Hall of Fame catcher Johnny Bench was the perennial Gold Glove winner during their careers in the National League together, Bench once said of Grote, "If Grote and I were on the same team, I would be playing third base."[3]
After his playing career had ended, Grote spent 1985 as manager of the Lakeland Tigers and the Birmingham Barons.[43] In 1989, he played for the St. Lucie Legends in the Senior Professional Baseball Association.[2] He was inducted into the Texas Baseball Hall of Fame in 1991, and the New York Mets Hall of Fame in 1992.[44][45] In 1998, he was inducted into the San Antonio Sports Hall of Fame.[46] On October 8, 2011, Grote was inducted into the Trinity University Athletic Hall of Fame.[5] After retirement, Grote continued to raise prize Texas longhorns on his ranch near Austin, Texas.[4] He appeared as a Mystery Guest on the television game show What's My Line?.[47]
Grote can be heard as color commentator with Mike Capps on the Round Rock Express (PCL) radio home broadcasts (2010)--and on the Internet on MiLB.com.

Van der Sloot taken to prison on murder charge
LIMA, Peru Angry onlookers shouted "Disgrace!" and "Murderer!" at Joran van der Sloot on Friday after a judge ordered him jailed on first-degree murder and robbery charges in the beating and strangling death of a young Lima woman.
Prosecutors said the Dutchman, who was taken to a segregated block of an eastern Lima prison, acted with "ferocity and great cruelty" in killing 21-year-old business student Stephany Flores in his hotel room after they met playing poker.
Van der Sloot remains the lone suspect in the 2005 disappearance of U.S. teen Natalee Holloway on the Caribbean resort island of Aruba, and Peru's criminal police chief says the defendant told interrogators he knows where her body is.
Aruba's attorney general, Taco Stein, told The Associated Press on Friday he is skeptical Van der Sloot was telling the truth about Holloway's body. He said Aruban officials will decide whether to sent investigators to Peru to question him once they learn exactly what he is offering.
Lima Superior Court Judge Juan Buendia issued a detention order before dawn for Van der Sloot on the murder charge. He was first taken with other prisoners in an armored truck to Lima's judicial palace, then alone to the maximum-security Castro Castro prison.
Police manhandled Van der Sloot as they ushered him to the judicial palace, a scarf around his neck and his hands cuffed behind him.
The more virulent catcalls and bile - the sensational case has dominated Peru's news for a week - came from onlookers as he was taken from the prosecutor's office where he had been held since Thursday. One onlooker threw spoiled lettuce.
Police say Van der Sloot brutally murdered Flores three days after meeting her at a casino. He broke her nose, strangled her, threw her to the floor then emptied her wallet and drove away in her SUV, said Gen. Cesar Guardia, chief of the criminal police.
The 6-foot-3 (190-centimeter-tall) Van der Sloot took about $300 worth of Peruvian currency, two credit cards and Flores' national ID card, Guardia said. He said the suspect abandoned her car in a lower-class Lima neighborhood before fleeing south to Chile by bus.
If convicted on the murder and robbery charges, Van der Sloot would be sentenced to between 15 and 35 years in prison, court spokesman Luis Gallardo told the AP.
"The aggravating factors are having acted with ferocity and great cruelty," said a news release issued by the court that announced the charges.
At Castro Castro prison, Van der Sloot was fed the Peruvian chicken dish "seco de pollo," prisons director Ruben Rodriguez said.
The Dutchman will have his own cell in a small block near the director's office. Rodriguez said Van der Sloot asked to be put in a cell by himself because he fears other inmates will kill him.
The only other two prisoners on the block are a reputed Colombian hit man charged with strangling a Peruvian socialite and a provincial mayor charged with laundering drug money

After cancer-causing methyl iodide was pulled from the U.S. market last year, California state officials convened a panel to investigate ending reliance on all fumigant pesticides (like methyl iodide) in strawberry fields.
Yesterday, the Department of Pesticide Regulation released the panel's report detailing current research to help strawberry growers transition away from using fumigant pesticides. And while farmers, scientists and health advocates welcome the report, many are calling for bolder, swifter action.
Last week, our colleagues at NRDC released a compelling new report that highlights just how broken the pesticide approval process really is.
The report spotlights the problem of so-called "conditional" registrations, a streamlined approval process that pesticide manufacturers use to rush their products to market — while EPA turns a blind eye.
Well, it's been signed. The biotech rider, or the "Monsanto Protection Act," as it has been appropriately dubbed, was signed into law last week by President Obama. What does this mean, and why is everyone so upset about it?
For me, this sneaky little earmark, which was introduced anonymously into the short-term funding bill to keep the government afloat, is just one more example of an unfair system stacked in favor of big agribusiness — and stacked against the rest of us.
Two new studies confirm that common pesticides are scrambling the circuits of bees' brains. Researchers report that certain neonicotinoids and an organophosphate pesticide — particularly in combination — interfere with the insects' ability to learn, smell or remember, all critical capacities for foraging honey bees.
The new studies add to a growing body of evidence pointing to pesticides as a key driver to the dramatic losses in bee colonies reported by beekeepers.
Did you know it was Poison Prevention Week last week? It is ironic that as we marked this week, we also grappled with the news that for the first time in nearly 20 years, a company went to court to challenge a decision by EPA to cancel one of their products — a pesticide that causes thousands of accidental poisonings each year.
Earlier this month Reckitt Benckiser — manufacturer of d-Con rat control products — filed a challenge against EPA's decision to cancel specific over-the-counter rodenticide products, which are hazardous for children, pets and wildlife. No hearing date has been set, but the appeal could potentially drag on for years. Meanwhile, the products remain on the market.
In honor of National Farmworker Awareness Week, we are reposting this powerful story of young farmworkers in North Carolina. This guest blog was originally published in September, 2011.
Last week Toxic Free North Carolina released our latest Farm Worker Documentary Project film, Overworked & Under Spray. It's a short piece featuring six high school-aged farmworkers' stories about being sprayed with agricultural pesticides while tending crops in fields across the state.
With other options exhausted over the past two years, beekeepers and partner organizations are now suing EPA to protect pollinators. We've filed over a million signatures from concerned individuals, a legal petition and a notice of intent to sue. And all to little avail. Now we're upping the ante.
There's too much at stake for EPA to stay stuck. Bees are in trouble, and they're vital to our food system and our agricultural economy. They're responsible for pollinating one in three bites of food we eat, including 95 types of fruits and nuts in North America. And commercial beekeepers report that their industry is on the verge of collapse.
Access to information can be a powerful thing. The pesticide industry understands this, which must be why they're fighting tooth and nail to block — for the third time — a commonsense law that would require pesticide use reporting in Maryland.
But the people of Maryland are fighting back. A strong coalition has formed around the "Smart on Pesticides" law, which is being considered right now by state legislators. They're making the case that children, communities and the precious Chesapeake Bay will all be better protected if decisionmakers know what pesticides are being used and where. A very simple — and very smart — idea.
Turns out, the pesticides that harm bees are also harming birds. According to a report out this week, the class of widely used, systemic insecticides that science shows are a key factor in dramatic bee die-offs are also contributing to falling bird populations.
At a congressional briefing yesterday, an expert panel highlighted the damage that neonicotinoid pesticides — or "neonics" — inflict on bees, birds and the agricultural economy. Beekeepers, scientists and public interest organizations called on elected officials to take action, and soon.
Whew! I just got off the road from a wintry, whirlwind tour of farms, churches and schools in Minnesota and Iowa. My colleague Emily Marquez and I completed our last of four Drift Catcher trainings, certifying 26 new citizen Drift Catchers.
The participants are passionate farmers and parents who are affected by pesticide drift each year and want to use PAN's monitoring technology to document that exposure. Together, we'll be working to highlight the very real problem of pesticide drift in the Midwest, and to work towards concrete ways to reduce the health and economic harms of pesticides.

In 1965, The Four Tops released a follow-up to their hit single, "I Can't Help Myself (Sugar Pie Honey Bunch)" with a number called "It's the Same Old Song." It was, actually, nearly the same song as "Can't Help Myself," admits singer Abdul "Duke" Fakir, as he and songwriter Lamont Dozier were in a rush to produce something and "reversed ['Can't Help Myself'] with the same chord changes" to write "Same Old Song."
In Arizona, we're hearing the same old song about more money for education, now in the form of continuing the "temporary" 1 percent sales tax.
The Arizona Education Network says, "Studies show Arizona continually lags among the bottom of all states in terms of public education funding and academic performance," as though speaking of money and student achievement in the same breath will somehow link them together.
As history shows, increases in education funding do not lead to higher levels of student achievement. In fact, education funding has been on the rise for decades with nothing to show for all that additional money.
Between 1985 and 2007, federal school spending increased 138 percent, and per-pupil expenditures around the country have more than doubled since 1970, says Stanford University's Eric Hanushek.
In Arizona, reading scores for fourth-graders on the Nation's Report Card have changed little in the last decade, despite a 47 percent increase in total spending per pupil between 2000 and 2009. Interestingly, even when funding ticked down 4 percent between 2009 and 2010, not only did that make but a small dent in the earlier increases, but scores did not change. Suggestions that Arizona's low achievement levels are a result of funding levels ignore these findings.
Lawmakers should follow Gov. Jan Brewer's lead and mark Arizona as the nation's leader in education reform, as the East Valley Tribune reported last week, and keep the state committed to sound fiscal practices and a balanced budget.
Jonathan Butcher is education director for the Goldwater Institute.

Cookie parties, family gatherings, reunions with friends – this season is full of great times to gather with loved ones. And to stuff your face with delicious treats. (Yumm…) Unfortunately, face-stuffing doesn't always seem like such a great idea in retrospect. (We don't make New Year's resolutions just for fun!)
The good news is that with a few easy additions and substitutions, you can turn your favorite holiday baked goods into fiber powerhouses without detracting from the decadent taste that makes you crave them so much in the first place.
It's pie season! Apple, pumpkin, pudding, mousse – we love 'em all. No matter your pie of choice, chances are it'll taste wonderful atop a bedding of crumbled, packed, buttery graham cracker. Working a FiberLove bar into your graham cracker crust recipe is a great way to infuse your dessert with some extra flavor and fiber. We used Peanut Chocolate Chip in this graham cracker pie crust, and I must say, it tasted glorious. Making a graham cracker crust doesn't require much skill, and isn't too time-consuming either. So, whether you're a kitchen novice or a regular Martha Stewart, you've got this.
November is National Diabetes Month! Learn how dietary fiber helps to reduce risk of developing diabetes, and serves as a filling nutrient that helps to keep blood sugar levels in check for people who already have diabetes.
October is Non-GMO Month! GMOs (Genetically Modified Organisms) are created when biotech companies use bacteria and viruses to introduce genes from other plants or animals into the DNA of crops to add a desired trait—like extra color, plumpness, or pesticide resistance.
Sounds kind of like science fiction. But it's not. The Non-GMO Project estimates that in North America, over 80% of food contains GMOs!
Because we're passionate about keeping our FiberLove bars pure and wholesome, and the long-term effects of consuming GMO-containing foods have not been determined, we only use top-notch, Non-GMO Project Verified ingredients in our bars.
The Non-GMO Project is North America's only independent product verification system, and the Non-GMO Project verification seal is one that FiberLove bars wear with pride.

Lời bài hát Yesterday Once More
When I was was young I'd listen to the radio
Waiting for my favourite songs
When they played I'd sing along
It made me smile.
Those were such happy times and not so long ago
How I wondered where they've gone
But they're back again
Just like a long lost friend all the songs I love so well.
Ev'ry sha-la-la-la, ev'ry wo-o-wo-o still shines.
Ev'ry shing-a-ling-a-ling
That they're startin' to sing so fine.
When they get to the part where he's breaking her heart
It can really make me cry just like before
It's yesterday once more.
Lookin' back on how it was in years gone by
And the good times that I had makes today seem rather sad
So much has changed.
It was songs of love that I would sing to them
And I'd memorize each word
Those old melodies still sound so good to me
As they melt the years away.
All my best memories come back clearly to me
Some can even make me cry
Just like before it's yesterday once more
