Diamond Microdermabrasion is a year round, any age, skin exfoliation treatment that works by gently removing the dead cells or epidermis.
Allow for better product penetration so you can see better results from the cosmetic product you may already be using as part of your beauty routine. Diamond Microdermabrasion is also recommended for clients that suffer from dry, flaky skin.
The Diamond Microdermabrasion is an ideal treatment to:
- Eliminate age spots and blackheads
- Eliminate hyperpigmentation (patches of darkened skin)
- Exfoliate your skin, resulting in a refreshed appearance
- Lessen the appearance of stretch marks
- Reduce fine lines and wrinkles
- Reduce or eliminate enlarged pores
- Treat acne and the scars left by acne
How does the DIamond Microdermabrasion work?
Diamond Microdermabrasion gently and precisely sands the skin, removing the top layer and stimulating new skin growth. This method progressively helps to attain a healthier younger looking skin in a short period of time.
Compared to other exfoliation methods, Diamond Microdermabrasion can be used to treat a wider range of skin issues such as light scarring, discoloration and sun damage.
Microdermabrasion can be done from adolescence to later life stages and is ideal to combat the signs of aging in face, decollate and hands.
Diamond Microdermabrasion is a preventive and corrective treatment and should not result in any discomfort or secondary effects.
Am I a good candidate for Diamond Microdermabrasion?
Diamond Microdermabrasion is a year round, any age, skin exfoliation treatment that works by gently removing the dead cells or epidermis.
It is not recommended if you have active acne or for clients that suffer from rosacea, for those cases please check our Photofacial, European Facial or Peel treatments.
What Should I expect from my Diamond Microdermabrasion treatment?
Each session lasts approximately 30 minutes, depending on the area of treatment and whether a complementary procedure will be performed.
Diamond Microdermabrasion is fairly gentle. Any discomfort experienced as part of microdermabrasion is usually short-lived. This can include redness and swelling, which should subside within a few hours. Later, you can expect the skin to be flaky and dry for several days.
Most frequently you can apply your regular make up minutes after your microdermabrasion treatment.
Post-treatment care
After any exfoliation treatment is advisable you apply SPF 30 or higher every two or thee hours.

The core neat idea in this paper is the design of a limited version of call/cc that allows the efficient implementation of coroutines, microthreads, backtracking, and exceptions with restarts while stil permitting activation records to be stack-allocated. The basic idea is that activation records are stack allocated, and a captured continuation is just a pointer into the control stack. You can resume a continuation as many times as you like, but if the continuation's calling function f returns or if you resume a continuation captured by any of f's callers. (These two restrictions preserve the stack discipline of the call stack.) Since these applications are AFAICT a pretty close to complete set of uses for Stackless, and it still permits great speed, I'm passing along a pointer to the paper: http://research.microsoft.com/~simonpj/papers/c--concurrency.ps.gz -- Neel Krishnaswami neelk at cswcasa.com _______________________________________________ Stackless mailing list Stackless at starship.python.net http://starship.python.net/mailman/listinfo/stackless

Rush Hour 2
Everything else aside, as any Philly fan can tell you, Limbaugh is wrong about Donovan McNabb.
12:00 AM, Oct 3, 2003 • By ED WALSH
LAST SUNDAY, on ESPN's pregame football telecast, conservative commentator Rush Limbaugh said that he doesn't think Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Donovan McNabb has ever been all he's cracked up to be. He explained:
What started as an eyebrow-raising statement quickly turned into a "tempest," as Limbaugh referred to it Wednesday on his radio show. Democratic presidential candidates Wesley Clark, Howard Dean, and Al Sharpton all criticized Limbaugh, calling his comments racist. And NAACP president Kweisi Mfume denounced both Limbaugh and ESPN, wondering why the network had a political commentator on its program to begin with (he may have a point there). NFL officials and players were none too happy either.
Late Wednesday, Limbaugh resigned his position on ESPN's "NFL Sunday Countdown." There are larger issues surrounding Limbaugh right now, but for the sake of beleaguered Philadelphia fans it's worth examining the original point: Limbaugh was wrong to criticize McNabb the way he did.
No, Limbaugh wasn't wrong to criticize McNabb's play. In fact, he was rather late to the game on that count. Everyone in Philadelphia spent the first three weeks of this football season wondering what's gone wrong with their superstar QB. One veteran Philly sports columnist recently wrote of the city's "collective despair over the performance of Donovan McNabb." McNabb himself has admitted that his performance in the first couple weeks of this season was sub-par. In fact Limbaugh was asked to comment on McNabb precisely because his fellow ESPN commentators had been discussing whether McNabb is living up to his billing as a top-flight quarterback.
But yes, Limbaugh was wrong to cast McNabb's success as a by-product of racial boosterism. And the proof is in the Philly fans.
DONOVAN MCNABB, like all pro athletes who play in Philadelphia, has seen his share of criticism from local fans and media. (In 1999 a local sports-talk station led a contingent of disgruntled fans to the ceremony when he was drafted with the #2 pick just so that they could boo him on national television--they wanted the Eagles to get Ricky Williams.) No one has tried to stifle the legitimate concerns that do exist. Is Donovan a good enough touch-passer? Can he stay in the pocket and deliver the ball with crisp precision? Or does he need to scramble and rely on his athletic prowess to get himself out of jams?
These critiques became particularly sharp last season, after McNabb signed a new contract worth $115 million over 12 years. When a player earns money like that, he can no longer be considered a "developing" star--he has to perform to the level of his paycheck.
Yet McNabb's success over the past few seasons isn't wishful thinking, and Philadelphia fans are not social engineers--if Donovan didn't give fans reason to be optimistic, they'd have made his life much more difficult. Philly fans have seen the results of McNabb's play. He led the Eagles to two consecutive NFC championship games. The team is 36-22 with McNabb at the helm. He finished second in voting for the MVP award in his first season as a starter. And whether they are signs of weakness or of strength, McNabb's Houdini-esque runs, in which he escapes the clutches of defensive backs and eats up huge chunks of yardage, bring fans to their feet.
Meanwhile, the Eagles' defense has received all the credit it richly deserves. Over the last few seasons it has been regarded as one of the best defensive squads in the league. And when the defense pulls out a victory, their teammates on offense are often the first to point it out. What has given Philadelphia fans hope is that finally the defense and the offense are both, at the same time, poised to reach the top ranks and carry the team over the hump and to Philadelphia's first Super Bowl since the 1980 season.
Rush Limbaugh's mistake may be that he didn't spend enough time studying how people in Philadelphia feel about McNabb. Otherwise he would have known that while fans and the media have placed their hopes in him, no one lets him off the hook. No one ever gets off the hook in Philadelphia.

Published Tuesday, July 13, 2010
By Jeff Bishop
The Newnan Times-Herald
Cancer Treatment Centers of America representatives attracted a standing room only crowd at Monday's "Lunch at the Carnegie" event sponsored by Newnan Carnegie Library Foundation.
Cancer Treatment Centers of America (CTCA) plans to build a regional cancer hospital in Newnan, with construction slated to begin before the end of this year. The hospital is expected to bring 500 new jobs and $500 million in new investment to the local economy.
Donald P. Braun, vice president of clinical research for CTCA, and Carolyn Lammersfeld, national director of nutrition, said that their hospital has a different slant than most, treating the "whole patient" and not just the tumor.
CTCA board member Annie Holsonback, daughter of founder and Chairman of the Board Richard J. Stephenson, said he company's philosophy of treating patients more like family members began when her grandmother was diagnosed with cancer in 1981.
"It was a devastating diagnosis," said Holsonback. "She was told to go home and get her affairs in order and prepare to die."
Her father found that "unacceptable," she said, and dedicated himself to finding alternative treatments.
"There was a lack of hope; a lack of options," she said, and in 1982 her grandmother died, in spite of Stephenson's efforts. But he became dedicated to the idea that there must be a better way to deal with cancer.
In 1988 the first CTCA facility was established, she said, in Zion, Ill. CTCA was dedicated to "integrated and compassionate cancer care," using "powerful and innovative therapies" right from the start, she said.
Now there are CTCA hospitals in Tulsa, Okla.; Philadelphia, Pa.; and Goodyear, Ariz., she said. Newnan will serve as the CTCA hub for the Southeastern U.S.
"There are now 3,000 stakeholders in this vision, which we call the 'Mother Standard,'" Holsonback said.
CTCA has experienced 20 percent annual growth since 2005, she said, and treated 4,500 new patients in Fiscal Year 2010.
She said she was delighted to see so much local interest in the new hospital.
"Wow, I don't think we could squeeze another person into this room," she said.
Braun said that his wife Judy lived in the Atlanta area for five years "and she is very excited about us coming down here."
His wife is a bladder cancer survivor herself, he said. Typically it takes four weeks to get in for a scan and another two weeks to schedule a reading of the scan, he said.
"But at our facility you can get a scan and a reading the same day," he said.
And whereas other hospitals may have one or two nutritionists serving as many as 800 patients, at CTCA the ratio is more like 12-to-1.
"When the nutritionist noticed my wife wasn't eating, they questioned her about it," he said. "They said, 'Judy, you have to start eating.' She responded that she ate all the time."
That wasn't exactly true, he said.
"Finally her team said, 'enough,'" he said, and made sure she started getting the nutrition she required. This isn't a rare case, he said -- many cancer patients are chronically malnourished.
A short 48 hours after Judy began receiving supplementary nourishment, "her pain medications started working again, and her anti-nausea medications started working again," he said. "That's because, with nourishment, her organ systems started working again. The medications will not work if your liver is not metabolizing them."
This is the kind of situation an integrated approach that incorporates nutrition and natural and alternative remedies in addition to traditional medicine can help address, he said.
The integrated approach has proven to be "very successful in maintaining quality of life, and even improving it" after a cancer diagnosis, he said.
Lammersfeld said "naturepathic medicine" is one of the many alternatives available to patients at a CTCA facility. Massage, acupuncture and other treatment supplements are also available.
She said about 80 percent of cancer patients seek these types of supplementary approaches, anyway, in addition to standard treatment, "and often they aren't sharing this information with their oncologists," she said.
It makes more sense to get the entire treatment team on the same page, she said. And the coach of that team should be the patient, she said.
"We get all the services under one roof," said Lammersfeld.

The House passed its telework bill two months after the Senate passed similar legislation. Rep. John Sarbanes, D-Md., also says it could be a useful tool to cut down congestion on Washington, D.C.-area roadways such as the Capital Beltway, shown above. (Getty Images file photo)
The House on Wednesday approved a bill that will require agencies to allow eligible federal employees to telework at least 20 percent of their hours.
HR 1722, the Telework Improvements Act, will also require agencies to have a written telework policy and appoint telework managing officers. Those officials will be in charge of identifying and removing roadblocks preventing telework, and will work with senior leaders to incorporate teleworking into agencies' continuity of operations plans.
The Senate passed a similar bill, S 707, in May.
The Office of Personnel Management has touted teleworking as a way to keep the government running during weather emergencies such as the snowstorms that hit Washington in February. OPM estimates teleworking saved as much as $30 million per day during the blizzard, though it has not been able to precisely measure telework savings.
Rep. John Sarbanes, D-Md., one of the bill's sponsors, said expanding telework will have many benefits.
"A robust telework program will not only improve government operations during a disaster, [and] it could be used as a tool to reduce traffic congestion in the D.C. area," Sarbanes said in a statement. "If fully integrated, it can save taxpayers money by increasing efficiency, reducing federal office space and improving employee retention."
The National Treasury Employees Union applauded the vote.
"Everyone wins with a well-designed, effective telework program," NTEU President Colleen Kelley said. "I am confident that as more and more front-line and middle managers become willing to accept telework as a valuable tool, the success of these programs will lead to still more telework opportunities throughout the government."

Wallace & Gromit's Wash'n'go Window-cleaning service
A Close Shave
After the immense success of The Wrong Trousers, the pressure was on Aardman to produce another film to rival its predecessor. The successful partnership of Nick Park and Bob Baker teamed up once more and started working on new ideas. Since Nick had used a lot of his sketch ideas in the previous film, he had to look further a field for inspiration, including plenty of brainstorming meetings with the team! Bob Baker had always insisted that the reason people loved Wallace and Gromit had less to do with the inventions are more to do with the emotional relationship between the characters, and for this reason they decided to do a love story.
The plot originally focused on Wendolene's father - first he was an inventor and had lost all their money and then it changed to Wendolene thinking he had died when in fact he had been kidnapped! The team then hit on the idea of sheep - which had been featured in the background of the first 2 films, and a robot dog who had been rustling sheep for wool - perfect!
A Close Shave turned out to be an entirely different production compared with the other two adventures - it was more dramatic (the airplane, the chase, the sheep!) and had been shot with a bigger crew in a shorter time frame. In fact, with more people to direct in this production, Nick Park hardly had any time to animate!
To celebrate the film's premiere on the 24th of December 1995, BBC Two's Christmas presentation that year featured Wallace and Gromit. The main ident featured the two eating Christmas dinner, with a large blue 2 logo situated in the middle of the table, covered with flashing Christmas lights. Several Christmas themed stings, also involving Wallace & Gromit were shown between programs. A Close Shave went on to win over 30 awards including another Oscar!

The term 'wetland' is often used interchangeably with other terms such as 'marsh,' 'swamp,' 'slough,' 'pond,' 'pothole,' 'fen,' or 'bog.'
It is important to understand that there are several different types of wetlands, and often these wetland terms can be confusing.
For the purposes of using a consistent naming convention, the term 'wetlands' is used to represent the collective group of all wetland types found in Iowa.
In general terms, wetlands are lands where saturation with water is the dominant factor determining the nature of soil development and the types
of plant and animal communities living in the soil and on its surface. The water creates severe physiological problems for all plants and animals
except those that are adapted for life in water or in saturated soil.
Drained hydric soils that are incapable of supporting hydrophytes are not considered wetlands.
However, they do provide a valuable record of historic wetlands and indicate areas that may be suitable for restoration.
This does not mean that wetlands and farmlands are necessarily exclusive- many wetlands can be farmed during dry periods.
If these wetlands were not actively farmed, they would likely develop natural communities of hydrophytes.
The Cowardin system for wetland classification was officially adopted by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) in 1979 to define and classify
wetlands and deepwater habitats across the U.S. (Cowardin, et al. 1979). It was subsequently used to define and classify wetlands for the National
Wetlands Inventory (Tiner, 1984). Cowardin et al. (1979) noted that there was "no single correct, indisputable, ecologically sound definition
for wetlands, primarily because of the diversity of wetlands and because the demarcation between dry and wet environments lies along a continuum."
Nevertheless, FWS needed to define wetlands to accurately identify and delineate the Nation's wetland resources. FWS defined wetlands as follows:
"Wetlands are lands transitional between terrestrial and aquatic systems where the water table is usually at or near the surface or the land
is covered by shallow water. For purposes of this classification, wetlands must have one or more of the following three attributes:
1) at least periodically, the land supports predominantly hydrophytes; 2) the substrate is predominantly undrained hydric soil; and
3) the substrate is nonsoil and is saturated with water or covered by shallow water at some time during the growing season of each year."
Fig 1- From Cowardin et al. (1979) illustrating the relationship of wetlands, deepwater habitats and uplands, as well as the water table, on the landscape
The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (COE) and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency define wetlands as follows:
"Those areas that are inundated or saturated by surface or ground water at a frequency and duration sufficient to support, and that
under normal circumstances do support, a prevalence of vegetation typically adapted for life in saturated soil conditions.
Wetlands generally include swamps, marshes, bogs, and similar areas."
COE uses three characteristics of wetlands when making wetland determinations: vegetation, soil, and hydrology. Unless an area has been altered or
is a rare natural situation, wetland indicators of all three characteristics must be present during some portion of the growing season for an area to
be a wetland.
In defining wetlands from an ecological standpoint, the FWS emphasized 3 key attributes of wetlands: 1) hydrology – the degree of flooding or soil saturation, 2) wetland vegetation (hydrophytes) and 3) hydric soils. Most wetlands have hydrophytes growing on hydric soils but all wetlands must have enough water at some time during the growing season to stress plants and animals not adapted to life in water or saturated soils. It is important to note that the FWS did
not include permanently flooded deepwater areas as wetlands. Instead, these water bodies (generally deeper than 3 meters or 6.6 feet) were defined as deepwater
habitats because water is the principle medium in which dominant organisms live. In summary, the FWS's definition of a wetland is based on the degree of
flooding or soil saturation and the presence of wetlands plants and/or hydric soils.
The structure of the Cowardin classification is hierarchical, progressing from systems and subsystems to classes, subclasses and dominance type.
The classification structure to the class level is illustrated in the diagram below. Modifiers for water regime, water chemistry, and soils
are applied to classes, subclasses and dominance types. Special modifiers are used to describe wetlands and deepwater habitats that have been created or highly modified by man or beavers.
The Cowardin wetland classification system to the class level (Cowardin et al. 1979)
In Iowa, most wetlands fall under the Palustrine System. The Palustrine System includes all nontidal wetlands dominated by trees, shrubs, persistent emergent vegetation or emergent mosses or lichens. It also includes wetlands lacking such vegetation but with of the following 3 characteristics:
1) area less than 8 ha (20 acres), 2) active wave-formed or bedrock shoreline features lacking, and 3) water depth in the deepest part of the basin
less than 2 meters at low water. This system includes vegetated wetlands traditionally referred to as marshes, swamps, bogs, fens, and prairie
wetlands, including the small, shallow, intermittent water bodies often called potholes or ponds. Palustrine wetlands may be situated shoreward of
lakes or river channels, on floodplains, in isolated catchments, or on slopes. The emergent vegetation adjacent to rivers and lakes is often referred
to as "the shore zone" or the "zone of emergent vegetation" (Reid and Wood 1976) and is generally a different type of habitat from the river itself.
There are often many similarities between wetlands lying adjacent to lake or rivers and isolated wetlands of the same class.
Examples of wetland habitats in the Palustrine System (Cowardin et al. (1979)
The second most common classification for wetlands in Iowa is under the Lacustrine System . The Lacustrine System includes wetlands and deepwater
habitats with all of the following characteristics: 1) situated in a topographic depression or a dammed river channel; 2) lacking trees,
shrubs, persistent emergents, emergent mosses or lichens with greater than 30% surface coverage and 3) the total area exceeds 8 ha (20 acres). Similar wetland or deepwater habitats totaling less than 8 ha are also included in the Lacustrine System if an active wave-formed or bedrock shoreline feature makes up all or part of the boundary, or if the water depth in the deepest part of the basin exceeds 2 m (6.6 feet) at low water. Typically, these are permanently flooded lakes or reservoirs with extensive areas of deep water and considerable wave action. Islands of palustrine wetlands may lie within the boundaries of a lacustrine wetland.
Examples of wetland habitats in the Lacustrine System (Cowardin et al. (1979)
Most linear wetland features in Iowa would fall under the Riverine System. The Riverine System includes all wetlands and deepwater habitats contained within a channel, with the two exceptions: 1) wetlands dominated by trees, shrubs, persistent emergents, emergent mosses, or lichens, and 2) habitats with waters containing ocean derived salts in excess of 0.5o/oo. A channel is "an open conduit either naturally or artificially created which periodically contains moving water, or which forms a connecting link between two bodies of standing water" (Langbein and Iseri 1960:5). Water is usually, but not always, moving within the Riverine System. Palustrine Forested Wetlands, Emergent Wetlands, Scrub-Shrub Wetlands, and Moss-Lichen Wetlands occur adjacent to the Riverine System, often on a floodplain. Some biologists suggest that all the wetlands occurring on the river floodplain should be part of the Riverine System because their presence is often the result of river flooding.
Examples of wetland habitats in the Riverine System (Cowardin et al. (1979))
However, Cowardin and others (1979) agreed with Reid and Wood (1976) that the floodplain is a flat expanse of land bordering an old river and that it often takes the form of a very level plain occupied by the present day stream channel. It may never, or only occasionally, be flooded. It is the subsurface water, i.e., the ground water that controls to a great extent the flow of streams, the water level in lakes, and the extent of swamps and marshes.
The other two wetland classification systems developed by Cowardin et al. (1979), Marine and Estuarine, have no application in Iowa.
The second most common wetland classification system used in the United States was developed by Martin and others (1953) and republished in U.S. Fish and Wildlife Circular 39 (Shaw and Fredine 1956). Because this wetland classification system has been in circulation for more than 50 years, it has been used to describe wetlands in thousands of published research papers and continues to be used to describe wetlands for many long-term waterfowl and wetland studies. It is a somewhat simpler system for wetland classification than Cowardin and others (1979) system and is based on criteria such as water depth and permanence, water chemistry, life form of vegetation, and dominant plant species. This system recognizes 20 different types of wetlands, but Types 9 through 20 describe saline wetlands and salt marshes that are not found in Iowa. Table 1 illustrates how wetlands would be classified under the Circular 39 system and the Cowardin et al. system
Comparison of wetland types described by the U. S. Fish and Wildlife Service. Source: Cowardin et al. 1979
The third most common wetland classification system used in the upper Midwest was developed by Stewart and Kantrud (1971) to specifically serve the needs of researchers and wetland managers in the glaciated prairies region. Their system recognizes seven classes of wetlands that are distinguished by the vegetational zone occupying the central or deepest part and covering 5% or more of the basin. The classes reflect the wetland's water regime, e.g., temporary ponds (Class II) are those where the wet-meadow zone occupies the deepest part of the wetland. The classification system includes six possible subclasses based on differences in plant species composition that are correlated with the average salinity of the surface water. The classification system also includes a cover type component that represents differences in the spatial relationship of emergent cover to open water or exposed bottom soil. The zones of the Stewart and Kantrud (1971) classification system are roughly equivalent to the water regime modifiers and water chemistry modifiers in the Cowardin et al. (1979) system (Table 2).
A comparison of wetland zones as described by the U.S Fish and Wildlife Service. Source: Cowardin et al. (1979)
For the purpose of prioritizing wetlands for protection and restoration in Iowa, wetlands will be defined as those that are classified as Palustrine wetlands, as defined by Cowardin et al. (1979), with water regimes A-Z (temporarily flooded/saturated to permanently flooded/intermittently exposed) and including those with special modifiers b (beaver), d (partially drained/ditched), f (farmed), h (dikes/impounded), and x (excavated) (see Figure 6). Because the vast majority of wetlands in Iowa have been drained and converted to cropland, it is particularly important to include palustrine wetlands with the modifiers d and f as these wetlands have substantial restoration potential. Additionally, wetlands included in the Lacustrine System that are less than 8 ha (20 acres) in size but deeper than 2 meters (6.6 feet) should be included with palustrine wetlands for prioritization purposes as these smaller lacustrine wetlands are often developed to enhance water quality for streams, rivers, and lakes, often have emergent vegetation in their littoral zones, and substantially benefit wildlife due the high shoreline to surface acre ratio. Lacustrine wetlands larger than 8 ha (20 acres) and between 2 and 3 meters deep (6.6 – 9.9 feet) will be defined as shallow lakes.
The wetlands defined above are included in the following classes defined by Circular 39 ((Shaw and Fredine 1956) (also see Table 1):

Yearly Standings and Average Home Attendances1994: 12-6 (37,347)
1995: 15-3 (30,112)
Baltimore was the most succesful of the American teams, setting a record their first season for most wins by a first-year team. Owner Jim Speros' approach was simple: he knew the Canadian game was different from the American version and knew to get coaches & players with CFL experience. He selected a coach with extensive CFL experience (Don Matthews). Matthews then brought in experienced players like QB Tracy Ham (pictured here on the right), RB Mike Pringle (the CFL's leading rusher in 1994), LB O.J. Brigance, DT Jearld Bayliss, and DE Elfrid Payton. They appeared in the Grey Cup in both seasons they existed. Below is a picture of the Stallions playing the BC Lions in the 1994 Grey Cup. They won it in 1995, becoming the only American CFL team to win a Grey Cup.
For awhile, they were the horse with no name. They started out unofficially as the Baltimore CFL Colts, until the NFL sued them over the use of the name Colts. They were eventually succesful in their suit, so Baltimore was known as the Baltimore CFL's for a time. They then became known as the Stallions. After the 1995 season, the NFL Cleveland Browns moved to Baltimore. Speros hoped to enlist the support of local government & business to keep the Stallions in Baltimore, but was unsuccessful and elected to move the team to Montreal (where they became the new Montreal Alouettes), after the CFL decided to disband all the other American teams.
These are sites about the 1995 Baltimore Stallions:

Ron Paul has retired. The iconic leader of the libertarian wing of the Republican Party will no longer be around to oppose unconstitutional bills proposed by his former colleagues.
In fairness, Paul has not officially confirmed his plans for 2016, but there is little chance that the good doctor will make another run for the White House.
This has prompted many among his millions of admirers to begin the search to replace their hero.
In February of this year, Reason magazine ran an article under the headline "Who Will Be the Next Ron Paul?" Mike Riggs, associate editor of Reason, highlighted three members of Congress who he saw as potential torchbearers: Justin Amash of Michigan, John Duncan of Tennessee, and Jared Polis of Colorado.
Earlier this week, another potential presidential candidate in the Ron Paul mold was put forward by a faction within the Paul coalition.
Next week, Revolution PAC will reportedly announce the formation of a committee to draft Judge Andrew Napolitano (pictured) to run as a Republican in 2016 for president.
Notably, Ron Paul once named Napolitano as the man he would choose as a running mate.
According to a story published by Forbes, as well as an announcement on their own website, the Revolution PAC committee will initiate its Draft-the-Judge Campaign by circulating nationwide a petition to gather signatures to demonstrate the level of grassroots support within the liberty movement to put His Honor at the top of the ticket.
The author of the Forbes piece, Lawrence Hunter, explains the impetus behind the drive to recruit Napolitano:

© Copyright 2015 Clayton News Daily
Children's author Dr. Seuss once said, in his book 'I Can Read with My Eyes Shut!' "The more you read, the more things you will know. The more that you learn, the more places you'll go."The importance of literacy is the primary reason, the Clayton County Headquarters library hosts three book fairs each year, according to the Clayton County Library System's Assistant Library Director for Youth Services, Janice Arcuria. The Scholastic Book Sale, which is an annual and national fair, began on Tuesday, Dec. 14 and will continue through Tuesday, Dec. 21, at the Headquarters branch. The library is located, at 865 Battle Creek Road, in Jonesboro. According to Arcuria, some of the hot ticket items this year will be "The Diary of a Wimpy Kid, the Ugly Truth" Jeff Kinney, "The Chronicles of Vladimir Tod, Twelfth Grade Kills" Heather Brewer, and "The 39 Clues" series Jude Watson, which is an interactive book. "We also have books in Spanish, and books about African-American interests, which is one of our best sellers," she said. She added that the book fair is selling Christian and holiday books as well. "I love the idea of bringing books to people," said Amanda Corbitt, librarian assistant for teens, at the Forest Park Library. According to Arcuria, books will be sold at a buy-one-get-one-free price. In previous years, books were sold at a half-off price, she added. "We received new machines that are pre-programmed to scan the items as buy-one-get-one-free," said Arcuria. Based on a percentage of sales, the library earns credit to select paperback Scholastic books, to be used as rewards for the annual Summer Reading Program, according to Arcuria. "When they hit that goal, they receive one free book," she said. The goal is to read 18 books, and keep track of the list through a log. She added that last year, the library was able to award 1,459 books to participants. The goal for this year is to exceed last year's number of giveaways. "The summer reading program will start [on] the day after school is out, and it will end the day before school begins," said Arcuria. She explained that books can be purchased with cash, checks, purchase orders, major credit cards, and debit cards with charge cards logos. Arcuria believes that giving a book as a holiday gift is a great idea for consumers. "To always include a book as a gift, shows a child that books have value.... we strongly encourage people to give books as a gift," said Arcuria. The fair also sells computer software, educational activity sets and school supplies. For more information regarding the Scholastic Book Sale, or the Summer Reading Program, please contact Janice Arcuria, at (770) 210-5238, or e-mail her at firstname.lastname@example.com.

NEW YORK (MarketWatch) — U.S. war planes strike targets in northern Iraq, Israel and Hamas trade fire, and Russia and the West remain in confrontation over Ukraine. That sounds dire, but those seemingly significant geopolitical jitters aren't doing much for oil-market bulls.
"Oil prices seem almost eerily calm in the face of mounting geopolitical risks spanning an unusually large swath of the oil-producing world," noted the International Energy Agency in its August report released Tuesday.
Nymex WTI crude futures US:CLU4 the U.S. benchmark, fell below $100 a barrel in early August and remain under pressure, changing hands Tuesday at $97.25. Brent futures UK:LCOU4 the global benchmark, traded near a nine-month low at $103.32.
Meanwhile, the decline in oil may carry a message for investors in other markets, including stocks.
"As geopolitical risk mounts at the same time as some major central banks contemplate normalizing monetary policy, the global [economic] growth forecast may be too rosy," said Kathleen Brooks, research director at Forex.com, in a note. "If this is the case, then the recent pullback in stocks could be the sign of things to come," she said.
With that in mind, here are a few reasons why oil prices aren't providing a scare, much less a shock, to the global economy right now.
Oil is still flowing
"Despite all the headlines, we haven't seen all that much in the way of new supply disruptions," said Richard Mallinson, geopolitical analyst at Energy Aspects, a research firm.
Oil prices spiked in June when Sunni insurgents began to sweep across parts of northern Iraq. It has been on a steady slide lower since then on expectations that Iraq's primary oil infrastructure and export facilities — located in the south of the country — will remain insulated from the violence.
So far, that's held true. Iraq produced 3.12 million barrels a day in July, according to the International Energy Agency. And Libya has seen oil production begin to pick up after the government and rebels reached a deal in July to reopen facilities and ports that had been closed for nearly a year.
That allowed oil production by the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries, or OPEC, to rise to a five-month high of 30.44 million barrels a day in July.
The IEA noted that despite geopolitical turmoil, "the oil market today looks better supplied than expected, with an oil glut even reported in the Atlantic basin," where a surprisingly steep drop in demand "compounded the effect of relentless North American supply growth."

Promising product, but poor packaging
By Katherine
from Alberta, Canada
About Me Beauty Conscious
Comments about Resist Retinol Serum - 1 oz:
I began using this serum about a week ago, and was really enjoying it. It goes on smoothly and makes my skin feel really moisturized and rejuvenated (in combination with the vitamin C booster). I use this day and night and have had no issues. Unfortunately, the packaging is really finicky and the pump no longer works for me, so that I can't get product out (even though there is still a lot on it -- I've only used it for a week).
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Really good product!
By Mabel
from New York
About Me Minimalist
I received this product in an Ipsy bag, I started to use it every morning with my moisturizer, couple weeks later I noticed my pores were a little bit smaller, and a clean skin, even that I have oily combination, that wasn't a problem at all (that was the best part). I'm using a discount from Ipsy to by another one.

I'm thrilled I added this to my routine!
By Kicky
from Boston, MA
I use this every other night and it really has made my skin tone more even and smooth. I'm really sensitive to retinol. I couldn't use the Clinical 1% as it was too strong for me. I've been using this for a month and LOVE it. The oil-like texture takes a while to absorb and I probably wouldn't use it during the day as I have oily skin. I'm prone to blackheads and breakouts, but surprisingly, it has kept my skin clear despite the oiler texture. It leaves my skin really soft and my pores looks smaller. I will continue to buy this. Oh, and I love the smell- kind of "herbally"!

Great as a starter retinol
By glammy
from NYC
About Me Beauty Expert, Skin Care Professional
I use this product nightly or every other night rotating with the clinical 1% retinol. I use it after BHA 2 % liquid and some times I mix it with the Vitamin C booster AND clinical retinol! This product is hydrating and I love the oil texture of it. It truly makes your skin so so smooth and glowing. It is great if you haven't used any retinol and use it as a starter. I always had good skin but paula's products guarantee compliments every day. My friend and I who both work in the beauty industry refer to eachother as plastic because these products make our skin so smooth and beautiful. AND it lasts a long time too so I believe all her products are well worth the price!!
Not for oily skin
By Lily
from Ottawa
About Me Beauty Expert
I think it could be a great product for someone with normal or dry skin but mine is combinaison. It's non-irritating for the skin. BUT, I don't like the texture of the product and it leave my skin so oily, even if I don't use a lot of it. I prefer the clinical 1%.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend
Excellent Bedtime Treatment
By shivs
from Nieuw Amsterdam
My normal-to-oily combination skin rarely needs an emollient product. I expect I would like this product more if my skin were a little drier. As it is, the shiny, slightly greasy-feeling texture sits on top of my skin, never fully absorbing. That said, after wearing it overnight, my skin looks fantastic the next day. I have great results with PC retinol products, seeing dramatic results within hours of use.
Service and delivery comments:
As always, fantastic customer service.

Silky beautiful results
By Jo

This silky serum has helped fade my melasma, though nothing makes it completely disappear. My skin is soothed and brown spots have faded. My skin is brighter, firmer, and lines have softened considerably. Highly recommended.

Good product. Poor packaging
By Old Broad
from Helena, MT
About Me Beauty Conscious, Long-time Paula's User, Trust Paula's Products
I'm 73, and my skin is very good thanx to Paula's 2% BHA & antioxident serum products. This is my first retinol product. I've been using it for 2 weeks at night.It feels great on my skin and seems effective at improving texture. I have very few wrinkles, and those I have are not deep, so I can't speak to its effectiveness in wrinkle reduction. I haven't been using the product long enough to know whether the other items on your list apply or not.The packaging seems silly to me. The little pump is cute, but it's tricky to use. I would buy the product again if it were packaged in a simple squeeze tube. I'm going to order the Skin Recovery Antioxidant Serum and see if it works as well. I know the packaging is better, as is the price.

Great product - love the retinol
By truca
from Ontario, Canada
I use this serum about 2-3 times a week, alternating with the Resist Ultra light antioxidant serum, and my skin looks amazing! The serum does feel rich and my face get shiny, but I use it at night only, and it doesn't bother me.

Great product, less than satisfactory packaging
By Lisa S.
from Centerville, OH
I'm over 50 and have been a life long user of good facial products. I love this lightweight product and I've seen an improvement in the fine lines around my eyes and evens out my skin tone. It makes my skin look smooth and clear, but I gave it 4 stars because the pump doesn't work very well and barely anything comes out. I have seen this same problem with other Paula's product that use a pump system.

Love it -- but the packaging is preventing me from using it!
By Spencer
from Saint Louis
I love this serum, and definitely noticed a difference in my skin texture after using it for a few weeks. Unfortunately, the pump on the top broke so that I can no longer use the product. The twist-up mechanism no longer locks and so I can't get product out of the container. Frustrating problem with a great product.

Can't be without it
By Vanessa
from Berkeley, CA
I absolutely love this products and cannot rave about it enough. It is by far my favorite Paula's Choice serum. The amount of retinol in it is effective yet gentle enough for my sensitive skin to tolerate consistent use (4-5 times a week). As someone with oily skin, I use it as my sole night time moisturizer during the warmer months and mixed with a small amount of my moisturizer when my skin needs a bit more hydration. I cannot attest to the wrinkle reduction because I am in my early 20s, but this product has really helped keep my acne in check and even out my complexion.The only minor downside is that I can't really gauge when I am about to run out, but that doesn't really bother me.
My new best friend
By HD Beauty
from Boulder, CO
About Me Beauty Conscious, Beauty Expert, Skin Care Professional
I use this as my night time treatment, after my exfoilant I mix a few drops in with my moisturizer, it has helped my skin more then anything I have ever used. I struggle with constant breakouts and subsequently hyper-pigmentation as well, I can't speak much to the wrinkle reducing effects as I don't have any however that is not my main purpose for using this product. Though I do hope it will help stave off those pesky wrinkles.

LOVE LOVE LOVE this!
By Tonya
from Kokomo, Indiana
I have been using retinol for over 20 years and have tried a lot of different products. Even purchased the very expensive products from my Deematologist Dr. I am on my 3rd container and will never run out! This is by far the best I have used!
beautiful skin
By piacooz
from NY,NY
About Me Beauty Conscious, Beauty Expert, Minimalist
I mix this with my morning moisture and apply on its own at night. I absolutely love this product. It has done wonders for my skin. It feels good too. The serum is light and makes my skin have a beautiful glow and texture. Paula's Choice has changed my life. My skin never looked or felt so good. I suffer from breakouts and the start of wrinkles, and these products have helped improve every imperfection about my skin, not only how it looks but also how it feels and behaves. For those worried about a serum "breaking them out", don't worry about that with this. It is light, and if you mix a drop with your moisturizer, you will see , there is nothing to be afraid of.

Excellent (acne fighting) serum.
By Dustin
from Asheville, NC
The best compliment I can give this product -- which I have been using since it was released a few years ago: this has "cured" break-outs for me. The only time I ever get a pimple is if I don't use this product. Acne is not the primary purpose of this product, but I have found that, for me, that's what it does best. It has the magic amount of retinol, which causes no irritation but delivers good results.After a few years of using it, however, I don't think it's changed my skin tone or any fine lines and wrinkles in any dramatic way. Maybe not at all. If it didn't work so well as an anti-acne treatment, I might discontinue using it. And, yes, I use sunscreen 365 days a year.My main complaint is the texture: I use only the tiniest bit of it, but it does not absorb into my skin -- ever. Instead, it sits on top and the heavy silicones leave an oily rather than elegant feel. It also annoyingly transfers to my pillow at night.I definitely recommend trying this if you're an acne sufferer, as the results in that regard have been excellent. I've never had to use benzoyl peroxide ever since I started using this -- not even once; that's quite extraordinary (since I used to use it twice per day).

Works great but I don't care for the way it feels.
By KrisT
from Acworth, Ga
About Me Minimalist, Out Doors, Over 45, Sensitive Skin
I purchased the retinol serum because I have problem skin. My skin has large, acne prone pores, dry spots,age spots, sun damage and acne scars. I wanted a power house serum. The serum works like a dream. My skin looks more youthful and bright after using it for a few weeks. However, it feels heavy and thick. It does absorb after a few minutes. I am going to try a different serum and hopefully will find one I like better.

I absolutely love this retinol serum. I've been using it for a couple of years now and I think for 61 years old, my skin looks great. In fact, I'm so pleased with the results, I don't even think about using anything else. I always make sure I order a couple of bottles when I start running low. I've tried a lot of products in the past but when I started using this, I really noticed my skin looking better than ever. I put in on at bedtime after I cleanse my face. Love it.

Not for people sensitive to certain silicones
By S. Park
This product gave me milia, which I also get from other silicone-based formulas that reproduce an oil-like texture. Also, I find that the product lies like a slick on the face and never seems to soak in and makes a mess. I ended up using it on my neck and chest and elbows, where it works better, but it's a pretty expensive product to be relegated to body use. I'm sure it's great for people who don't have issues with 'cones, but it just didn't work for me. I now use the Clinical 1%, which works.

Lovely serum for my dry, sensitive skin
By Michelle B.
I use 3 different PC serums. I love them each for different reasons. This Resist intensive Wrinkle Repair Serum is wonderfully emollient and perfect to use on the nights (and some days) when I am not using the 1% Retinol. It does have the feel of a face oil to some extent. It slips easily over my skin, making application easy. Until it absorbs, it leaves a sheen on my face, but that goes away once it dries and I apply my Skin Recovery Moisturizer. no problems with the pump. Works great for me.

Caused breakouts
By Dana K
One of the few Paula's Choice products that did not work for me. I have used other PC serums in the past and been very pleased, so was hoping for more magic with this serum. However, after using once I found small clogged pores on my cheeks. Couldn't believe that it was because of the serum so continued to use, and wound up with breakouts on cheeks, jaw, and lip lines. Will use up the product by using on my neck and eyes, since did not clog pores in those areas, but disappointed.
This works!
By Susan M.
I'm in my mid 60s. I use this every night. My skin looks great. No wrinkles!
By Ali
I just finished up a sample I got with my last order of holy grail products, and this one might be the next holy grail. It left my skin so soft and smooth, and it plays nice with my skin clearing face wash and exfoliator. Another great product! (And thank you for being cruelty free!)

in love
By TANIA B.
I love this serum! I haven't reacted to it even though I use it every day, which is surprising considering I tend to be sensitive to things like this. Even though it feels oily it absorbs well and makes your skin feel silky smooth. I find it's been a great addition to my Resist regime as I've been looking to add retinol somewhere in there lol. Next will be sampling the Resist night moisturizer with retinol.

STILLWATER — Ever since Marcus Smart, Markel Brown and Le'Bryan Nash sent the Student Union into a frenzy last March, the theme surrounding Oklahoma State basketball has been clear.
OSU men's basketball: Cowboys have complementary pieces for the 'Big Three'
The boys are back.
And yet, there's no reason to stop with just the Big Three.
Even more boys are back, which is another reason the Cowboys stand as the preseason Big 12 co-favorite, a popular pick for national top-10 status and a potential Final Four contender.
So, yes, while Smart, Brown and Nash are major pieces to all OSU hopes and strives to be, the complementary pieces shouldn't be underappreciated or undervalued.
Like Michael Cobbins, another returning starter and a Big 12 All-Defensive Team selection last season, when he produced 12 multiple-block games and averaged 6.1 rebounds.
Like Phil Forte, who set a freshman school record with 68 3-pointers, all off the bench, and scored in double figures 17 times.
Like Kamari Murphy, who provided key minutes in the post as a freshman and is slated for a significantly larger role this year with the loss of Philip Jurick.
Like Brian Williams, back and healthy after a serious preseason wrist injury robbed him of much of last season, when he had won a starting job.
"We get all the credit for a lot of things that go on with this team," Smart said, "but Phil, Kamari, Michael Cobbins, Brian and the freshmen coming on — they're the backbone of this team, too, coming to practice every day, getting us better — we wouldn't even be able to accept the credit that we get.
"Yes, we get the credit, but we let them know every day, 'Thank you guys, because if it wasn't for y'all, we wouldn't be able to do what we're doing.'"
OSU's big three are deserving, as the top three returning scorers in the Big 12.
Smart, already the reigning Big 12 Player of the Year, got the preseason vote to repeat in a polling of league coaches. He and Brown were also voted to the Preseason All-Big 12 Team, with Nash earning an honorable mention nod.

The Heard Museum is proud to present its 11th annual Spirit of the Heard award to Ernest H. Siva (Cahuilla/Serrano). The ceremony will take place during the Arizona American Indian Excellence in Leadership Awards on Nov. 4 at the Hilton Scottsdale Resort & Villas in Scottsdale, Arizona.
"We are honored to bestow this award upon Ernest Siva for his lifetime accomplishments in sharing his deep knowledge of Serrano and Cahuilla language, culture and musical heritage with both Native and non-Native communities," says James Pepper Henry (Kaw/Muscogee Creek), director and CEO of the Heard.
Siva was born and raised on the Morongo Reservation just west of Palm Springs, Calif. A member of the Morongo Band of Mission Indians, he has dedicated his life to the transmission of Southern California Indian cultures through his education, career and volunteerism. Siva, now retired, was an instructor of Native culture across Southern California including the University of California, Los Angeles and served as a guest artist and scholar in Native culture at California State University, San Bernardino, where he taught courses in California indigenous cultures and languages.
Siva is also an acclaimed musician and ethno-musicologist as well as a revered elder of the Morongo community who is deeply involved in community life and education arts. One of the last remaining speakers of the Serrano language, he has served as tribal historian and cultural adviser for the Morongo Band of Mission Indians since 1996. He serves on the board of directors of the California Indian Storytelling Association, the Riverside Arts Council, and the CSUSB College of Arts and Letters Community Leaders Board.
Tickets to the Arizona American Indian Excellence in Leadership Award Ceremony are available for $50 each until Oct. 19, after which the price will be $60. To purchase tickets, contact the Phoenix Indian Center at 602.264.6768 or visit phxindcenter.org.
