Library Report
Undeniably, a man is influenced by the books he reads. Similarly the stature of the school library defines the caliber of the school to a great extent. It is indeed the backbone of any educational institution. A School Library is a fundamental ingredient in a student's schooling curriculum.
Our Principal, Mr. D Luke recognizes and identifies reading as a noteworthy skill that all students need to master, in order to be successful in life, which is why our school library continues to be an integral part of the school curriculum.
The library has about 4000 books on almost every topic within the universe. There are comic books for the younger folks, at the same time the library abounds in analytical works for the learned instructor. There are hundreds of books on Information Technology, considered as the back bone of any country while also not forgetting the books related to the mighty History of the World. The library provides far-reaching way in to classics both in Hindi and English. This gives the student an extensive opportunity to read the works of Shakespeare, Dickens, Doyle as well as the works of Indian Legends like Premchand under the same roof.
It is situated on the second floor of the school building, allowing it to be equidistant from every corner of the school. To allow active participation of the students in the school library the students from class VI to -XII have a separate library period every week. The library has an accommodation capacity of around 70-80 students and is well furnished with a number of windows and pathways for fresh air.
The School Library also assists the students to delve into relevant knowledge for their Class Projects. With the beginning of an audio visual section, now the students have more amenities at their disposal. It also has a compilation of the last 10 years' papers of the public examinations conducted by the Council, besides having a set of the choicest class course books. The library is regularly analyzed by the principal, and the required fill ins are made.
During the last weekend of the month the library becomes a "Mini- Theatre" . The students are found laughing when shown cartoons, such as Tom and Jerry, or held spell bound when watching documentaries on Environment and others which help the students to discover new places and introducing them to strange and interesting people, they might never ever have the opportunity to visit or meet.
Besides the students, many teachers are seen reading the latest news in the daily newspapers that our library subscribes to or to the latest news magazines like India Today, the Week, Outlook, Time etc. Teachers also take the maximum advantage of importing information from some of the best encyclopedias, to help their students understand their subjects or topics better.
In conclusion, I would like to pay a tribute to the creativity and dedication of our School Principal who has a vision to take our school to greater heights and under whose committed analysis the School Library will continue to be equipped so as to take a leading role in helping students to quench their thirst for "KNOWLEDGE" and "MORE KNOWLEDGE".

Ah, the granddaddy of netbooks, the Eee PC. Asus were the pioneer of this small form factor portable computer. Thankfully the 7inch screens from the first models have had a few upgrades since then. This newer 10 inch size, gives a little more to those who don't have teeny-weeny hands and don't want to wear binoculars to see tiny text on screen.
Apart from the awful, almost unpronounceable name, this computer provides a huge range of features, in a package that is small enough to drag around anywhere and with a battery life long enough to last for an entire day.
Here's some of the main features:
- Intel Atom CPU
- 1GB memory
- 160GB hard drive
- 10 inch screen with 1024 x 768 resolution
- Built-in webcam and microphone
- LAN, Wifi and Bluetooth
- 2.81 lbs
The styling is good. So no childish looks from this mini-performer. The screen provides enough size for webpage viewing, although sometimes requiring left to right scrolling. For desktop use I'd recommend an extra monitor as it's easier to view. The VGA port will connect to almost any monitor, but some monitors no longer have VGA ports, so check first.
1GB of memory is just right.
160GB hard drive is fine, but I'd prefer a smaller solid state drive instead. There is an extra 10GB of online storage offered, but this strikes me as gimmicky, I would much rather they provided a subscription to one of the big online storage firms. I just don't know how much to trust their in-house offering as Asus are a hardware company.
Networking is a critical component for netbooks that, by their very name, are designed to be online. Fast Ethernet is the staple of office networks, and Wifi 802.11n allows faster wireless speeds on networks that support it. Bluetooth is also included and will connect to Bluetooth microphones and stereo headphones.
The Asus Eee PC just can't really go very wrong. The important part is that there are no important features missing. The blue Samsung netbook is $50 cheaper than this computer, but has less battery life, so weight up what is most important to you.
- Compact
- Cheap enough
- Light
- Standard features
- Little more expensive than some other similar netbooks
- Gimmicky online storage

The Great Multitude Christian Daily Devotional.Written by Thousands, Inspired by Rev 7:9-12.
"With All Your Heart" by Julie Seeto
Proverbs 3:5-6 (NKJV) Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; In all your ways acknowledge Him and He shall direct your paths.
In this proverb God tells us not to rely on human understanding. He knows that human understanding is flawed, inaccurate and limited. Simply because we cannot read minds or discern the thoughts of another person's heart. We cannot see the future or know for certain what will happen next. Therefore it's useless to trust our own understanding. God, on the other hand, is dependable, trustworthy and faithful. We can rely on Him for He understands every situation we face. He sees a bigger picture and knows where every piece fits into the puzzle of life. We are to trust Him completely and when we do, we will learn how trustworthy He is!
He is God, the Creator of all things seen and unseen. He knows the number of hairs on your head and He knows your name. Will you trust Him today? Will you acknowledge that He is in control of your life and ask Him to lead you in the path He has set for you? We need to do this daily not because He is hard of hearing, but because we so easily forget who He really is. He is big enough to handle our problems, strong enough to fight our battles and wise enough to lead us in the right direction. Surrender and trust Him today.

Human embryonic stem cells (hESCs) have the potential to become all sorts of cells in human body including nerve cells. Moreover, hESCs can be expanded in culture plates into a large quantity, thus serving as an ideal source for cell transplantation in clinical use. However, the existing hESC lines are not fully characterized in terms of their potential to become specific cell types such as nerve cells. It is also unclear if the nerve cells that are derived from hESCs are totally normal when tested in cell transplantation experiments. One of the goals for our proposal is to compare the quality and the potential of eight lines of hESCs in their capacity to become nerve cells. To measure if the nerve cells that are derived from hESCs are normal when compared to the nerve cells in normal human beings, we will examine the levels of gene expression and the mechanisms that control gene expression in hESC-derived nerve cells. Specifically, we will examine the pattern of DNA modification, namely DNA methylation, in the DNA of nerve cells. This DNA modification is involved in the inhibition of gene expression. It is known that if DNA methylation pattern is abnormal, it can lead to human diseases including cancer and mental retardation disorders. We will use a DNA microarray technology to identify DNA methylation pattern in the critical regions where gene expression is controlled. Our recent results suggest that increased DNA methylation is observed in hESC-derived nerve cells. In this proposal, we will also test if we can balance the level of DNA methylation through pharmacological treatment of enzymes that are responsible for DNA methylation. Finally, we will test if hESC-derived nerve cells can repair the brain after injury . A mouse stroke model will be used for testing the mechanisms stem cell-mediated repair and recovery in the injured brain and for selecting the best nerve cells for cell transplantation. Our study will pave the way for the future use of hESC-derived nerve cells in clinical treatment of nerve injury and neurodegenerative diseases such as stroke and Parkinson's disease.
Neurodegenerative diseases such as stroke are the leading cause of adult disability. Stroke produces an area of damage in the brain which frequently causes the loss of crucial brain functions such as sensory and movement control, language skills, and cognition capability. Stem cell transplantation has emerged as a method that may improve recovery in these brain areas. Studies of stem cell transplantation after stroke have been limited because many of the transplanted cells do not survive, the appropriate regions for transplantation have not been identified, and the mechanisms by which transplanted stem cells improve recovery have not been determined. Also, there have been no studies of human embryonic stem cell transplantation after stroke. For the use of stem cell therapy in stroke patients, human embryonic stem cell lines have to be grown and tested for their efficacy in repairing the brain after stroke. We have recently found that the process of growing human embryonic stem cells in culture introduces genetic modifications in some of these cell lines that may decrease survival of the cells in the brain and impair their ability to repair the injured brain. The experiments in this grant will determine which human embryonic stem cell lines do not undergo this negative genetic modification. The optimum human embryonic stem cell lines will then be systematically tested for the location in the stroke brain that produces survival and integration, and the mechanisms of repair that these cells mediate in the brain after stroke. These studies will specifically test the role of human embryonic stem cells in improving sensory and movement functions after stroke. In summary, these studies will establish protocols for the proper growth of human embryonic stem cell lines, the lines that are most effective for repairing the brain after stroke, and the principles behind how human embryonic stem cells repair the brain. These results are applicable to other kinds of neurodegenerative conditions, such as Parkinsons, Alzheimer's and Huntington's diseases, and to the growth and culture of human embryonic stem cells in general for repair of disease of other human tissues.
SYNOPSIS OF PROPOSAL: The investigators are proposing to study the relationship between DNA methylation and neural differientation of human embryonic stem cells (hESCs). They will analyze 8 lines for their efficiency in neural differentiation, determine genome-wide DNA methylation patterns of human promoters during this process, inhibit expression of DNMTs to modulate this process, and correlate methylation variations with efficacy of neural repair in a mouse stroke model.
IMPACT AND SIGNIFICANCE: The role of DNA methylation in differentiation is central but poorly understood, and even less clear in hESCs. The choice of a well defined cell biological model, relevant to potential stroke therapy, suggests a high degree of significance of the results to be obtained by the study. The individual approaches are not novel, but the combination of cell and molecular biological approaches is.
The applicant has developed reliable protocols for directed neural differentiation of hESCs. The researchers propose to study DNA methylation, effects on gene expression and whether they can be reversed with the DNMT inhibitor AzaC. A stroke model using immunocompromised mice and transplantation experiments are proposed to study methylation effects on neural repair in vivo.
QUALITY OF THE RESEARCH PLAN: This is a well focused proposal that takes on the difficult problem of hESC epigenetics by choosing a particular differentiation system, namely neural differentiation, and combines it with multiple biologic replicates and careful validation. Three Wisconsin/UCSF lines and five lines from UCLA will be studied with careful attention to culture condition and analysis with differentiation markers, backed up by preliminary data. They have already established a differentiation protocol for NPCs.
The lines will be characterized with neural and glial markers, and genome-wide DNA methylation analysis will be performed. The researchers plan to use MeDIP, in collaboration with Howard Cedar who has published on this method. It is encouraging that they will use this approach rather than hybridization to CpG islands as in their recent HMG paper. Nevertheless there are significant problems with the antibodies recognizing CpG rich sequences, not simply methylated sequences. Still they plan validation using independent methods and have shown their ability to do this. An experimental manipulation of the system is proposed whereby DNA methylation will be blocked. They thoughtfully propose knockdown of DNMT's, noting that DNMT3A is expressed in stem cells. They propose two molecular approaches and realize that 5-azacytidine might have independent toxic effects and thus avoid it. The use of an experimental manipulation adds a dimension to the experimental plan that brings it beyond a simple phenomenological study. The relevance of the methylation study to a mouse stroke model will be addressed by introducing cells into SCID mice that have been experimentally given cortical infarcts. Perhaps a bit unfocused, the direct application to a therapeutic model is compelling, especially in the context of CIRM. However, it will be somewhat difficult to determine what specific methylation changes might be related to enhanced migration and differentiation of transplanted cells.
This is a very well written application with a careful and detailed experimental plan that appears to be quite feasible. With the proposed use of SCID mice for xenotransplantation, the researchers avoid the issues associated with external immunosuppression. The PI has many excellent collaborators who can help him with many aspects of the experiments. This is an outstanding grant proposal.
STRENGTHS: The focus and PI are excellent, the proposal is well written, the experimental plan is feasible, a well defined biological system is proposed, the preliminary data are good, careful methylation analysis and validation are proposed, and an attempt has been made to define causal relationships with experimental manipulation. The translation of these studies to a rodent therapeutic model is also a strength.
WEAKNESSES: There are no significant weaknesses noted.
DISCUSSION: This proposal was ranked as the best among those read by one of the reviewers. The applicant is taking a central stem cell question, the role of epigenetics, and approaching it "head on". An epigenome profile will be created using immunoprecipitation of methylated DNA and oligonucleotide arrays. The team will look at neural differentiation with a variety of markers and selection in culture to assess effects of manipulation of methylation marks. The applicant is collaborating with reseachers at Hebrew University in Jerusalem, has worked on 3 cell lines, and plans to add 5 additional lines to the studies.
The discussants agreed that the objectives of the research plan are exciting and the proposed functional studies with the mouse stroke model are important. The approaches were regarded as nicely complementary.
One reviewer believed that useful information was almost certainly going to result from the proposed studies, and others agreed that the proposed work is "state of the art".

An audit of state employees' cellphone usage found the state paid more than $500,000 in a year for 2,000 mobile devices that weren't being used.
An audit of state employees' cellphone usage found the state paid more than $500,000 in a year for 2,000 mobile devices that weren't being used.
The report, released Friday by State Auditor Brian Sonntag, comes on the heels of Gov. Chris Gregoire's order earlier this month that state agencies reduce phone costs as the state grapples with a nearly $2 billion budget shortfall over the next two years.
Sonntag said his office analyzed state-funded mobile devices between March 2010 and February 2011 after hearing that other states achieved big cost savings by making changes to cellphone policies.
The Auditor's Office reviewed the use of some 22,000 cellphones assigned to 89 state agencies. The phones were purchased through multiple carriers — including Verizon, Sprint and AT&T — and the contracts were maintained by the Department of Information Services, according to Sonntag's office.

In the one-year analysis, auditors found:
• The state spent $9.2 million on cellphone use.
• Some 6,679 phones, accounting for $1.8 million in costs, were identified as being used minimally, such as less than 30 minutes of talk a month, or not used at all.
• Many phones were locked into inefficient plans, resulting in fees that wouldn't have been charged if the agency had a more appropriate cellphone contract. Auditors found one phone that cost the state $434 a month, although the same level of service was available for $100 a month from another plan.
"This is money that does not need to be spent, obviously. The fact it was screams for attention," Sonntag said.
Sonntag said his office evaluated only the state's largest agencies. There is no clear figure on how many total cellphones the state pays for, he said.
The Auditor's Office has recommended that agencies turn in all unused or little-used phones, use more prepaid phones, offer stipends to employees to use their personal phones for state business, and contract with a cellphone-optimization specialist who can match phone use with cost-effective plans.
Sonntag wrote in the report that if the state "optimizes" cellphone plans, it could save $9 million to $18 million over the next five years. Focusing on having the right cellphone plans helped California achieve a 28 percent cost savings, the report said.
After Gregoire issued her directive, the Office of Financial Management (OFM) pushed agencies to ensure that phones and plans are assigned only to employees who need them for work, to monitor monthly cellphone bills, to eliminate office or landline phones where possible, and to report all changes to OFM by February.
In its response to the audit, OFM pointed out that agencies already have been changing their cellphone use in recent months or years.
The Department of Social and Health Services (DSHS) canceled 1,113 phones, the Department of Corrections canceled 430 phones and the Department of Labor and Industries canceled 142 phones. Between the reductions and cost-saving measures, the state is saving more than $732,000 a year, OFM said.
"We are clamping down. It makes sense," said Thomas Shapley, spokesman for DSHS. "The phones we cut were the ones that needed to be deactivated, ones that had little or no use and no justification for security or emergency-management reasons."

10 of the Richest Young British Heiresses
The old world glamour and rich heritage of Britain means that for many the place has an inimitable allure. From the imposing monuments on the streets of London which speak of the nation's history, to the country's continued presence as a world leader, Britain has always been something of a trend-setter. At the top of this tightly constructed social ladder, lie those who have it all: money, luxury homes, and even the titles and dressings of landed gentry. Our list is not simply a rundown of female nobility however; it presents an overview of the variety of ways one can enter this gilded life.
In most cases these heiresses have had all the trappings of private schooling and the west London social circle to ensure they make it on the list. However, where their money comes from and the ways in which they spend their inheritance varies greatly. From doctors to party girls they're all here, with each one at some point or another filling up column inches in the UK's notorious tabloids.
10. The Honourable Mary Olivia Charteris: British Aristocracy, Brewing Fortune
Mary Olivia Charteris may sound like something of an English rose, but dig a little deeper and you'll find she's far from it: her father is the Earl of Wemyss and March, Jamie Neidpath, who in his heyday was known for holding outlandish raves at the family estate in Gloucestershire.
Daughter Mary is from the Earl's first marriage to Catherine Hesketh, a member of the wealthy Guinness family, and so Mary counts the eccentric fashionista Daphne Guinness as her aunt. A successful model since her teens, Mary is now a member of her husband's band, the London-based The Big Pink. The couple's 2012 wedding saw the bride don a dress that was simultaneously fit for the daughter of a lord, and the daughter of a raver. The gown, designed by Lady Gaga's stylist, featured a full tulle skirt with cutaway mesh panels in the bodice, ensuring that absolutely all eyes were on the bride.

Apparently, we can pass complex class instances to functions, but why can't we pass arrays to functions?
The origin is historical. The problem is that the rule "arrays decay into pointers, when passed to a function" is simple.
Copying arrays would be kind of complicated and not very clear, since the behavior would change for different parameters and different function declarations.
Note that you can still do an indirect pass by value:
Here's another perspective: There isn't a single type "array" in C. Rather,
In C there's no function overloading, and so the only sensible thing you could have allowed would be a function that takes (or returns) a single type of array:
Presumably, that was just considered far less useful than the actual decision to make all arrays decay into a pointer to the first element and require the user to communicate the size by other means. After all, the above could be rewritten as:
So there's no loss of expressive power, but a huge gain in generality.
Note that this isn't any different in C++, but template-driven code generation allows you to write a templated function
As an extreme case, imagine that you would need two functions
The reason you can't pass an array by value is because there is no specific way to track an array's size such that the function invocation logic would know how much memory to allocate and what to copy. You can pass a class instance because classes have constructors. Arrays do not.
You are passing by value: the value of the pointer to the array. Remember that using square bracket notation in C is simply shorthand for de-referencing a pointer. ptr[2] means *(ptr+2).
Dropping the brackets gets you a pointer to the array, which can be passed by value to a function:
See the list of types in the ANSI C spec. Arrays are not primitive types, but constructed from a combination of pointers and operators. (It won't let me put another link, but the construction is described under "Array type derivation".)
The equivalent of that would be to first make a copy of the array and then pass it to the function (which can be highly inefficient for large arrays).
Other than that I would say it's for historical reasons, i.e. one could not pass arrays by value in C.
My guess is that the reasoning behind NOT introducing passing arrays by value in C++ was that objects were thought to be moderately sized compared to arrays.
As pointed out by delnan, when using
actually, a pointer to the array is passed by value, using that pointer inside the called function will give you the feeling that the array is passed by reference which is wrong. try changing the value in the array pointer to point to another array in your function and you will find that the original array was not affected which means that the array is not passed by reference.

Major surgery on Barbaro began at 1 p.m. this afternoon and ended at approximately 7 p.m. According to orthopedic surgeon Dr. Dean W. Richardson, the operation went satisfactorily and Barbaro is in his recovery stall. "Barbaro presented with a case that was about as difficult as such an operation could be," said Richardson.
Barbaro had fractured his leg in three places. During the surgery, the bones were set and will be allowed to fuse in place over time. Recovery will take many months.
"While we do not anticipate complications, surgery is only the beginning for a horse that has undergone major surgery," Richardson said. "We are optimistic, but right now we are focusing on Barbaros recovery."

etnies Riders All Over the San Diego Podium!
Posted By etnies, Skip To The Comments (6)
Feb 10 2008 / Sunday
etnies' Jason Lawrence (center) and Tommy Hahn (left) atop the 250F podium!
J-Law taking the checkers!
Congratulations to Jason Lawrence on his 3rd Supercross Lites win in a row in San Diego this weekend! Lawrence got the holeshot, pulled away and held on for the win. He is now 2 points ahead of last weeks leader, Ryan Dungey.
"I was trying to keep tabs on him, and I guess he cracked under some pressure," Lawrence said of Dungey who crashed 3 times during the main. "I guess the target can be on my back now, and that's fine by me." With just 2 more west coast rounds to go, and 2 points separating the top riders, anything can happen and probably will. But we're still betting on Lawrence for the Championship!
Motorsport Xtreme Kawasaki's Tommy Hahn rode strong for another 2nd place finish this season!
In the 450F Class Tim Ferry had to work hard and get by some serious talent for his second place finish. Ferry made it by the Honda's of Kevin Windham, Andrew Short and, late in the race, Davi Millsaps! Nicely done, Red Dog!
That's 50% of the podium spots rocking etnies!
Ferry's heat race holeshot!

Enbridge Inc. says the spill of at least 800,000 of oil into the Kalamazoo River system near Marshall cost the pipeline company $550 million in 2010.
The Kalamazoo Gazette says the figure comes from an annual report by Enbridge. It says the figure excludes insurance recoveries, fines and penalties.
The pipeline stretches from Griffith, Ind., to Sarnia, Ontario. A portion of the pipeline ruptured last July near Marshall in southwestern Michigan, contaminating about 25 miles of Talmadge Creek and the Kalamazoo River.
Public officials say they don't know when the Kalamazoo River will reopen for public use as the cleanup continues. Oil flow through the 286-mile-long pipeline resumed in September.

With the introduction of Office 2013 Preview, Microsoft has overhauled how business developers write Office and SharePoint applications and how users access them while at the same time giving IT administrators the ability to control which applications are available to users.
This new cloud application model embraces common Web languages for writing code and includes an online store for purchasing the applications. At the same time, IT professionals are given control over whether end users have access to the entire store or whether they can reach just those apps that have been selected and set aside in a corporate catalog, says Richard Riley, a director in Microsoft's Office division.
MORE: Microsoft reveals 'magical' new Office 2013
RELATED: Is Azure a dirty word because it means cloud?
This friendlier application development environment will encourage enterprise customers to do more of their own development rather than relying on apps in stores, says Jim McGregor, president of Tirias Research, because they have the resource to hire developers. "They'll develop apps that do exactly what they need them to do and what their customers need them to do," he says. Businesses could develop customer-facing apps based in the cloud that deliver a variety of services, such as enabling an insured person to file an insurance claim from a wireless laptop using a local Office app in combination with an insurance company app in the cloud, he says.
He sees Microsoft adopting Google's model of opening up app development to everybody and giving them away or selling them inexpensively. "Microsoft has learned that the software business has changed," McGregor says. "Opening up to third-party developers who offer apps from free to close-to-free is a critical part of it for consumers."
But getting existing business customers to buy into Office 2013 so they can take advantages of these new development possibilities may be a tough sell, says Paul DeGroot, principal consultant with Pica Communications. Corporations that standardized on Office 2003 and bought perpetual licenses could still be using it at no annual cost, he says. Buying Office 2013 means an investment and disruption, and he says subscribing to Office 365 means paying about a third of a perpetual license per year with no years when there is no payment. says.
He says he is aware of many Office customers who have bought perpetual licenses for Office 2010, have installed it and are happy to leave it in place. "They're not renewing it," he says, "they own it. They don't want to do another Office install for five years, and Microsoft will make no money off that."
The problem for Microsoft is that it makes more money from Office than it does from Windows, but applications are moving to the Web, DeGroot says, so it needs a Web-based revenue stream. This new cloud app model can help attract users to Office-related Web services.
In keeping with this model, the applications actually run in the cloud and render them to the particular file on a user's machine.
In addition, these Web applications are inserted in Office apps and SharePoint, gathering and manipulating data and formatting it. For example, apps for Excel can gather data from the Internet, enter it in a spreadsheet, and also present it in graphs, charts and maps. Apps for Word can gather data from the Internet based on keywords designated in documents, and that data can be linked to the document itself so when the document is shared colleagues have access to the same external data.
These new applications can appear in Office applications and SharePoint as task panes within documents or they can be inserted online. Individual applications can also be strapped together to create more complex applications.
By virtue of being in the cloud, applications used to create documents can be linked to the document. So if an app has been used to create a chart based on data gathered on the Web and entered in an Excel spreadsheet, the document can be sent to other people and they can work on it using the same application to gather updated information. Because the application is in the cloud, the recipients of the document don't have to be running the app locally, just have access and authorization to use the app in the cloud. The cloud could be Microsoft's Azure or Amazon Web Services. The point is it can be virtually any cloud and only Web skills are necessary to develop, Riley says.
The example Riley uses is that of an application written to go along with the Olympics called Medal Tracker. It gathers current online data about medals awarded at the games in London and presents it in a task pane within an Excel spreadsheet. The data is also entered in the spreadsheet itself. A separate app called Bubbles takes the same data about the medals and represents the number of medals won by country with larger or smaller circles that are proportional to the number of medals won. A third app called Bing Maps can portray proportional circles on a map to show the location of countries that have won medals and give an idea of how their haul stacks up to others.
Development of applications is effectively being extended to any Web developer, not just developers trained in Microsoft programming. These new apps can be written using HTML5, JavaScript, CSS3 and others that are familiar to Web developers.
The same cloud application model applies to SharePoint, and there is a separate SharePoint app store as well.
Developers can submit applications to the store, and if they are approved by Microsoft, can be sold there at an 80-20 split, with developers getting 80%. Developers can also set the price within a range to be determined later and the licensing conditions, Riley says.
Expanding the pool of Office and SharePoint developers by using Web programming could lead to new applications that Microsoft didn't think of that are attractive to customers, DeGroot says, and that require customers to buy the new Office in some form that has the Web APIs. "It's really critical that they not move the entire application to the Web," he says, but having businesses subscribe to Office would be good for revenues. "Subscriptions will generate long-term revenue streams which they are not guaranteed with perpetual licenses," he says.
To try out Apps for Office and Apps for SharePoint, apply for an Office 365 Developer's pass.

While helping to clean up America, the Environmental Protection Agency didn't always buy American.
Investigators for the EPA inspector general found foreign-made steel pipes in a stimulus-funded project in President Obama's home state of Illinois that violated federal regulations, and now they want taxpayers' money back. But the agency is resisting demanding a refund.
"Unless the city can comply with Buy American requirements or obtain a waiver from EPA, the city's project to rehabilitate its wastewater treatment plant would not be eligible for Recovery Act funds," the inspector general warned in a report as far back as 2011.
Money handed out under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009, also known as the stimulus, comes with a provision requiring projects to purchase U.S.-made items, another step designed to help bolster the economy.
But investigators think the city of Ottawa, Ill., purchased foreign-made steel pipes while repairing its wastewater treatment center. And the IG recommended the city refund part or all of the $3.8 million it was given to complete the project.
But two years after its initial report, the inspector general is still sparring with the EPA's Office of Water, which oversaw the project.
EPA argued the project – and others like it – are too far gone to turn back now.
"OW contends that it would be imprudent to address a problem related to Recovery Act guidance at this late date because the stimulus funds have mostly been spent," said an inspector general report detailing the response from the Office of Water. "OW raised a concern that it would be unworkable to revisit thousands of past Recovery Act decisions to assess whether mistakes were made regarding foreign components because of flawed guidance."
Unable to reach a compromise on their own, the two offices – IG and OW – have turned to EPA Acting Administrator Robert Perciasepe, requesting that he make a final ruling on the Illinois project.

Taking Emissions Down Another Notch
Inland waterways cargo ship, the M/V Anda, owned by J.Verdonk of the Netherlands, has taken emissions reduction a step further by adding an aftertreatment to the engine exhaust. Two sets of a multi-component aftertreatement systems, one on each engine, were supplied and installed by Emitech B.V.
Each system consists of a NOx selective catalytic reduction (SCR) catalyst, a NOx control unit, ureum tank, two pieces of urea doseur, a NOx sensor and a NOx buster Bluejet G2 control. Each engine exhaust was also fitted with a diesel particulate filter (DPF) with a burner and control unit.
In January 2010, tests were carried out to measure the emissions of the two engines with the aftertreatment compared to without aftertreatment. In the tests carried out by TNO Industrie en Techniek under the protocols of ISO 8178, the aftertreatment system showed that on both engines the NOx emissions are reduced on the weighted test points by almost 90%. This brings the NOx emissions on both engines to well below the norm of 2 g/kWh for new ships.
A pair of Cummins QSK38-M engines supplied by De Groot Scheepstechniek B.V. provides main propulsion, producing a continuous rating of 895 kW at 1800 r/min. These engines employ a modular common rail fuel system to provide constant high injection pressure regardless of speed or load conditions.

Tulane and Tulsa Set to Depart for International Play
Aug. 10, 2012
Tulane and Tulsa men's basketball teams are getting in a little pre-preseason action with international trips scheduled this month. The NCAA allows 10 days of practice before making their respective trips.
Tulane men's basketball head coach Ed Conroy and his Green Wave will travel to Nassau, Bahamas, on Sunday for a five-day trip that includes three games. First-year Tulsa head coach Danny Manning will lead the Golden Hurricane in a six-day summer exhibition tour of Canada, Aug. 14-19.
"We are excited about the opportunity to travel together to a foreign country and represent Tulane University in athletic competition," Conroy said, who enters his third season as head coach. "This is the right time for our program to take the trip and it will help make us a better basketball team. It is also the first opportunity for many of our players to travel abroad and that is a unique experience that we are excited to share together."
Upon arrival, the team will face the PJ Stingers at the Kendal Isaacs Gymnasium at 8:30 p.m. CT on the first day. The Green Wave will then face the Cybots on Monday at 8:30 p.m. CT in the same gym. The final game of the trip is Tuesday at 4 p.m. CT against the Bahamas All-Stars in Isaacs Gym.
"There are numerous benefits to taking an off-season trip including the extra practice time and team building that takes place," Conroy added. "The extra time on the court is extremely valuable, especially with our freshman and redshirts. The off-court portion of the trip will be equally beneficial as we continue to develop a championship culture within our program."
Among the returning players for Conroy is the 2012 Conference USA Freshman of the Year Ricky Tarrant. The sophomore guard is joined by junior forward Josh Davis and senior guard Jordan Callahan, who started all 31 games during the 2011-12 campaign. Also back is senior forward and former all-conference player Kendall Timmons, who started 16 games last season before suffering a season-ending injury.
Other letterwinners returning include senior guard Ben Cherry, junior center Kevin Thomas, redshirt junior center Tomas Bruha, and sophomores Jay Hook, Lotanna Nwogbo and Tre Drye. Last season's redshirts Nick Latzke (Fr., G), Max Keenan (Jr., G) and Josh Birchfield (So., F/C) will make the trip and participate for the first time as members of the Tulane Basketball team.
All four of Tulane's incoming freshmen, including Louis Dabney, Marc Eddy Norelia, RaAnthony Sanders and Kajon Mack should see their first action as college players as they travel for the first time with the Green Wave.
Tulsa will play four games in four days in and around Toronto. TU will face Brock University in Niagara Falls, Ontario on Aug. 15, before returning to Toronto for games against Ryerson University on Aug. 16, Seneca College on Aug. 17, and A-Game Hoops on Aug. 18.
Manning spoke about his team's summer workouts and August practices gearing up for the exhibition tour, as well as the excitement about making the trip and getting to see his players in action against outside competition.
"We're a work in progress, but we're trying and we're getting better each and every day, each and every practice," Manning said. "That's the goal. Hopefully when we get to Canada, we will be able to play a few good stretches of basketball throughout our tour. One thing that is very beneficial is the ability to see our team in game action. That's very beneficial."
Tulsa returns senior guards Scottie Haralson and Jamie Booker, junior guard Tim Peete, sophomore guard Rashad Smith, sophomore forward Blondy Baruti and redshirt freshman forward Brandon Swannegan to the team in 2012-13. The Hurricane welcomed senior transfer forward Kauri Black, junior college transfer guard Pat Swilling, Jr., and freshman guards Shaquille Harrison, Rashad Ray and James Woodard, and freshman forwards Zeldric King and D'Andre Wright to the squad this year.
"It's a learning process for all of us to be honest with you," Manning said. "It's a learning process for our coaching staff because it's the first time we've worked with this group. We're all feeling each other out, but we're all working hard to get better each and every day. The upperclassmen are starting to take a little bit more ownership in what's going on and showing some leadership. So that's always encouraging. From there, we'll just see what we have when we get to Canada. This trip is going to be good. It's good that we have a chance to see our team play."

How to Survive Grad School
Grad school is no joke, even though it can be rewarding.
1Be prepared. You should already have an idea what you want to study before applying for grad school. It's not like being an undergraduate where you can float for a few years without deciding on a major. When you apply, begin with the end in mind.
2Choose your adviser, wisely. Your adviser should be someone with whom you are comfortable. This person will help keep you on track to meet your goals. But remember that your education is always in your hands. You are ultimately responsible for your collegiate career.
3Stay organized. Plan out your entire years of study. Of course, things may change but "s/he who fails to plan, plans to fail!"
4Attend meetings. Make sure to attend information meetings. These meetings can introduce you to prominent faculty--who may prove invaluable for writing you letters of recommendation later on.
5Apply for an assistantship. There isn't much money to go around for graduate studies. If you can apply and get an assistantship, you can make what's left of your life more enjoyable. Apply for as many scholarships as you can. Talk with your adviser about special scholarships in your department.
6Buy a computer. Yes, some schools have nice computer labs where you can get work done, but nothing beats having your own computer. Schools are increasing their use of virtual classrooms. Doing your work from home saves gas.
7Be dedicated. Think of grad school as your full-time job. Devote as much time to it as it requires. If you are not focused it will reflect in your grades.
8Buy a weekly planner. It's not a good feeling knowing that you missed a test or quiz. Grad school is demanding. Keep the pace so that you don't fall behind.
9Stay in there! What ever you do don't give up. Just picture yourself walking across the stage to receive your hard-earned diploma!

Two New Camcorders Capable of Recording One Hour 1920x1080 Full High-Definition Video on a Blu-ray Disc
8cmBD/DVD Drive+30GB HDD Cam DZ-BD7H
8cmBD/DVD Drive Cam DZ-BD70
TOKYO August 2, 2007 - Hitachi, Ltd. (NYSE:HIT / TSE:6501) announced the worlds first Blu-ray Disc (BD) Camcorder, -which records one hour of 1920x1080 Full High-Definition video onto a BD (single side, single layer.) The new camcorders will start selling in Japan on August 30, 2007, and overseas market sequentially starting from October. The new DZ-BD7H is a Hybrid Cam with a BD drive and a 30 gigabyte (GB) built-in hard disc drive (HDD) which can record approximately four hours of 1920x1080 full high-definition video, or up to eight hours of 1440x1080 high-definition video. It can also copy the contents from HDD to 8cm BD within the camcorder so that users do not need to use any external devices. The new DZ-BD70 is a BD single drive camcorder which can record approximately one hour of 1920x1080 full high-definition video (two hours of 1440x1080 high definition video) on a 8cm BD. The new BD camcorders have a system which captures, records and stores 1920x1080 full high-definition video throughout the whole process with its newly developed full high-definition lens, 5.3 mega pixel progressive CMOS (Complementary Metal Oxide Semiconductor) image sensor (*2) with effective 2.07 mega pixels for video and 4.32 mega pixels for still photo, the newly developed full high definition signal processor Picture Master Full HD, and the worlds first 8cm BD drive, which can record 1920x1080 full high definition video on a 8cm BD which has 5 times more capacity than a 8cm DVD. Model Name and Introduction (Japan) Product BD Camcorder Model Name DZ-BD7H DZ-BD70 Image Sensor 30GB Approx. 5.3Mega Pixels HDD Selling Starts Aug.30, 2007 Aug.30, 2007 Suggested Initial Retail Price Production/Month Open 20,000 units
Background of Development Non-tape media camcorders such as DVD and HDD camcorders have grown to dominate more than 80% of the camcorder market (*3). High definition camcorders have taken more than 30% of the consumer camcorder market (*3), and are expected to continue growing. Hitachi, with its corporate statement Inspire the Next, has been creating new product categories and established new standards in the industry. In 2000, Hitachi introduced the worlds first DVD camcorder, and in 2006, the worlds first hybrid camcorder with a DVD drive and an HDD drive, which makes it easy to dub the contents on the HDD to the DVD. The spirit behind the innovation was always a careful consideration of the customers needs.
This time, with the keyword A True Breakthrough in Your Hand, Hitachi developed an 8cm BD/DVD Drive for Camcorders, Full High Definition Signal Processor Engine Picture Master Full HD, and CMOS Image Sensor for Full High Definition (*2). With these core technologies, Hitachi adopted BD as a media since it has more than five times the capacity of a DVD and can record 1 hour of 1920x1080 full high definition video on one disc to create two models of the worlds first BD camcorders, which shoot, playback, and store full high-definition in every process. Hitachi will continue to mobilize its technology to introduce camcorders that meet the needs of the consumers.

Main Features for Keeping Fresh and Vivid Memories 1920x1080 Full High Definition throughout Imaging, Recording, and Playback 1. Worlds First (*1) 8cm BD/DVD Drive (plus 30GB HDD for Hybrid model)
(1) Hitachi Original 8cm BD/DVD Drive Hitachi developed a compact, low power consuming, and reliable 8cm BD/DVD drive which corresponds to five kinds of 8cm discs; BD-RE/-R, DVD-RAM/-RW/-R. (*1)
*1: BD camcorder BD/DVD drive does not comply with dual layer discs.
The drive carries two optical pick-ups for BD and DVD and a flat pick-up with compact aberration correction function for BD. The size of the drive chassis 8cm BD/DVD Drive remains almost the same as the DVD camcorder drive. The drive can record and playback full high definition. BD has approximately five times the capacity and approximately three times the rapid transfer rate compared with DVD. Low power consumption by intermittent recording technology which is the combination of rapid recording on the disc and memory buffer function. P-CAV (Partial-Constant Angular Velocity) Control Technology has been developed for rapid disc rotation speed essential for full high definition recording and also to maintain silence.
2) 3) 4)
(2) 8cm BD Recording The camcorder can record record one hour of 1920x1080 pixels full high-definition video on a 8cm BD (single side, single layer 7.5GB) which is a convenient media to stock. BD-RE discs are re-writable, whereas BD-R discs can record once. (3) Large Capacity 30GB HDD (DZ-BD7H) 1) 30GB HDD can record long hours without caring about the remaining time on the media. 30GB HDD can record up to four hours of 1920x1080 pixels full high definition video (HX mode), or eight hours of 1440x1080 pixels high definition video (HS mode). 2) 3) Impact Resistant Damper protects the HDD from shock and moderates impact to 50%. Head Load/Unload Structure removes head away from the disc when not in operation in order to prevent the head from touching the disc when impact is given to the HDD.
2. High Picture Quality Video Engineering for Shooting 1920x1080 Pixels Full High Definition (1) Full High Definition Distortion-less Lens
10x zoom non-spherical lens has been developed to maintain compact body size. It captures 2400x1800 pixels still photo as well as 1920x1080 full high-definition video. The lens is multi-coated to prevent reflection, flare, or ghost images, and has gradation ND (neutral density) filter to prevent degrading of resolution caused by aperture of iris. (2) CMOS Image Sensor for Full High Definition Video and Approximately 4.32 Mega Pixel Still Photo
Full HD Lens
Approximately 5.3 mega pixel CMOS Image Sensor co-developed with AltaSens, Inc. captures the true nature of the object in progressive format and has RGB primary color filter. CMOS image sensor is capable of reading pixel area randomly at a rapid speed essential for full high definition video imaging. (1920x 1080) It can capture still photo image at 2400x1800 pixels. Pixel size of the CMOS image sensor is 2.09m, 1/2.8 inches in size, and total pixel size of approximately 5.3 mega pixel has electronic image stabilization function with is controlled outside the range of effective pixels.
Approximately 5.3 Mega Pixel CMOS Image Sensor
(3) Picture Master Full HD High Resolution Image Processing Engine consists of High Resolution Camera Image Processing LSI for Full High Definition which effectively processes the massive data captured by the 5.3 mega pixel CMOS image sensor, and High Quality Audio/Video Codec LSI which implemented MPEG4 AVC/H.264 CODEC, which is 1.5 to twice efficient compared with MPEG2. i) High Resolution Camera Image Processing LSI has Adaptive DNR (Dynamic Noise Reducing Method) technology which analyzes the captured image and reduces noise and Advanced CCM (Correlative Coefficient Multiplying Method) Circuit to control false color signal. It improves picture quality by reducing noise and by preventing data to be used up by noise signal during compression at the same time to capture beautiful high definition video. ii) High Quality Audio/Video Codec LSI has a uniquely developed algorism for high-quality motion picture. It switches process methods between field and frame in macro block depending on the amount of motion happening within the frame to process fine quality video image in scenes with a lot of action. The unique algorism adaptively judges and switches encoding methods depending on the condition of images judged by the correlation of different frames, or predictions made from a single frame. The algorism judges the amount of code to allocate by calculating how much picture quality deterioration can be recognized at playback. (4) HDMI Output Terminal High Definition Camera Image Processing LSI
High Quality Audio/Video Codec LSI
The BD camcorder has HDMI terminal which transfers 1920x1080 pixel full high-definition video and clear audio digital data with one cable. A HDMI cable which is widely available in the market can be used for connection.
3. Dubbing in the Camcorder (DZ-BD7H) The contents recorded onto the HDD can be easily dubbed in the original high definition quality to BD or converted to standard definition when dubbing to DVD utilizing the camcorder without the hassle of connecting the camcorder to other devices. (*2)
*2: The camcorder must be powered via the AC adapter/charger for dubbing from HDD to disc.
The disc media being copied can be selected from 8cm BD-RE/-R,DVD-RAM/-RW/-R depending on the type of disc that best suits the format of the player. The user can choose from four pre-set dubbing modes, and if the contents do not fit into the disc, the user can also select auto divide dubbing. 1) 2) 3) 4) New selects only the uncopied scenes on the HDD and dubs to disc. Date selects the scenes recorded on the specified date and dubs to disc. All dubs all the contents on the HDD. Select dubs the scenes selected by the user.
4. Editing in the Camcorder The full high-definition video recorded on the HDD or the 8cm BD-RE can be edited with the camcorder. Easy editing functions such as split, delete, and connect can be made without using a PC. User can also create play list, and rearrange the orders of playback within the play list.
4.32 Mega Pixel High Resolution Still Photo
Approximately 4.32 mega pixels high resolution still photos can be recorded on the SD memory card. 10x optical zoom lens will capture images form wide to telephoto angle. (Field angle 35mm at 4x3 still is equal to 34.5-345mm converted to film)
Full High Definition Photo Capture to Cut Out the Best Shot from Video
The best shot from the recorded full high-definition video can be captured as approximately 2.07 mega pixels photo images and stored into the SD memory card. The captured photo can then be printed out easily with a printer capable of reading SD memory card.
One Second Quick Start
The BD camcorder can start recording in one second by pressing the Restart button instead of turning
off the power. It also saves power during stand-by. (*3)
*3: Quick Start mode consumes only 1/2 power compared during shooting with LCD monitor turned off. automatically after kept at stand-by for 30 minutes. Zoom ratio will be at 1x when re-started. Power turns off

M&T contributes $145G for educational programs, scholarships
WILKES-BARRE — M&T Bank announced it has contributed $145,000 to 12 agencies in the region to support educational programs and scholarships.
Statewide contributions total $1.2 million. The funds will provide scholarships for pre-kindergarten through 12th-grade students and will also support innovative educational programs in schools and community agencies.
The area agencies receiving funds include: Diocese of Scranton Scholarship Foundation; United Way of Lackawanna/Wayne County; United Way of Luzerne County; and several other groups. The contributions were made through the Educational Improvement Tax Credit Program, a state tax-credit program that provides a 90 percent tax credit in exchange for a two-year commitment of funds.
The bank increased contributions by more than $500,000 from the previous fiscal year, in part because of a new program known as the Opportunity Scholarship Tax Credit. That program provides additional scholarship money to help students in under-performing schools transfer.

computer diary for Mac
Hi all
Do you know if there is such a software for a computer diary as opposed to a physical one? I like to full day to a page A4 diary, not on on line but as a piece of software. I know you have on-line calendars liek that with google but I am looking for something like a flip-over - page by page diary

A new study, "Media Use and Child Sleep: The Impact of Content, Timing, and Environment," comes to the conclusion that "screen time" before bed can cause restless nights for preschoolers. The new study was conducted by Michelle Garrison Ph.D., a research scientist at the Seattle Children's Research Institute. The findings were published in the July 2011 issue of Pediatrics.
"A lot of the research had lumped all media use together," said Michelle Garrison. "Reducing media use altogether is an overwhelming goal for a lot of families. There are healthy media choices that families can be making."
She added that the goal is to shift away from violent content to content that is educational and has social value.
The study found that having any screen time (violent or otherwise) before bedtime seemed to cause sleep problems in young children. Researchers pointed the finger at all kinds of screen time too – from television shows and video games to mobile phone games. Most of the violent screen time for preschoolers came from TV shows intended for older kids, which usually featured some sort of animated or comic violence.
Garrison acknowledged that changing children's behavior isn't easy but finding creative ways to do it is important.

Flying bikes, cell phone robots, smart walking sticks and audio speakers that defy logic are inventions all on display Tuesday at Microsoft's Redmond, Wash., headquarters.
On the second day of the Microsoft Research Faculty Summit, Microsoft researchers and their academic partners showed off some of their projects. They ranged from the wacky to the relatively staid.
The Flying Bike is a project that would let users ride a stationary bike that is integrated into a video game. In the demonstration, the game was Flight Simulator X and players have to pedal fast enough to stay airborne in the game. But Yolanda Rankin, a computer science researcher at Northwestern University and one of the developers of the project, envisions lots of other games that users could play using the bike, such as racing games and shooter games where players must flee or chase opponents.
InkSeine is an application that tightly integrates search with pen computing. Users can write a word on the screen with a special pen. Holding down a button on the pen and drawing a circle around the word pops up a menu that allows users to search for the term online or on the hard drive.
InkSeine has other unique user interface features: Making a circular motion with the pen on the screen will scroll a Web page down. It's an easier movement than trying to touch the small box in the narrow column on the right side of the screen with the pen and then pull it down.
One of the more amazing inventions on display is Personal Audio Space. In the demo, 16 small speakers in a vertical line simultaneously play two songs: a rock song and a piece of classical music. Up close, they let off a cacophony of sound. But standing on one X marked on the floor around five feet from the speakers, a listener only hears the rock song. Standing on another X about two feet away next to the first, a listener hears only the classical music.
The technology could be used in a variety of applications, said Ivan Tashev, one of the Microsoft researchers working on the project. In a shared office, two workers could listen to music or their phones without bothering the other. Two people could sit on their front porch at home, each listening to their own favorite music. A baby sitter could watch TV with a baby asleep in the next room, because the speakers could be used simply to direct sound to one place.
The system works by distorting the audio so that it cancels out in some areas and steers the sound into others. Ultimately, the system could use cameras and microphones to detect where a person is and then point the sound to that person on the fly, Tashev said.
Oscar Almeida, another Microsoft researcher, showed off a prototype of a walking stick that uses a gyro sensor to detect stability. When it detects instability, it could send a message warning a caretaker that the user might have fallen. The technology is a better idea, he said, than those that might simply detect when a walking stick is horizontal, which could lead to lots of false negatives and positives.
Another fun project on display was the result of Microsoft researcher Brian Cross' idea for how to use mobile phones that are discarded when users upgrade. His Wimobot is a small robot that uses the phone as its "brain," he said. In his demonstration, he sends a text message that is a small program from a phone to the phone in the robot. The program instructs the robot to lower a pen onto the white board it sits on and draw a square.
Andy Wilson, also a company researcher, is developing a device that could serve as a less expensive form of the surface computer that Microsoft recently unveiled. That computer will cost thousands of dollars. Wilson's invention uses a projector to display an application onto any surface, like a table top. Two infrared lasers pointed at the surface would allow users to grab and drag items with their hands.
The company developers who showed off the projects work in Microsoft Research, a group of around 800 researchers developing about 60 projects. In his opening remarks on Tuesday at the summit, Rico Malvar, managing director of Microsoft Research, said
that the mission of the group is to expand the state of the art in areas it does research, rapidly turn innovative technologies into Microsoft products and ensure that Microsoft products have a future.
Without getting more precise, he said the group uses a small portion of Microsoft's $7 billion research and development budget.

Hey everyone!
Today I'm reviewing a vibrant coral lipstick from Deborah Milano ~ Atomic Red lipstick in shade 03.
Price : Rs 560
Buy Online HERE.
What Deborah Milano says about the Product :
Lipstick with a luminous, silky finish. Innovative formula produces pure, vibrant colour. Glides on easily and feels comfortable all day long.
My take on the product
Deborah Milano lipsticks come in an attractive steel grey metallic finish packaging in an asymmetrical tube. The packaging is sturdy and has a colored label at the base which makes it easy to locate shades. I like the metallic finish as well. It doesn't hold dust/finger prints much like metallic packaging can do sometimes, so thats a plus point.
The lipstick is smooth and creamy, applies without tugging and is well pigmented. The issue here is that it is too creamy and there is too much slip in the formula. It ends up looking a little patchy and uneven on the lips as the slippery formula moves around too much during application. I generally need to blot it down to an even finish with my finger tip. The formula is creamy and mildly moisturizing. It feels like its just sitting on my lips and doesn't feel as light weight as I would have liked. I found the Matte lipsticks from Deborah much better than this one. The staying power is good, it stayed over 4 hours and stained my lips so the face didn't look devoid of color for another 2 hours. But as it wore off (with meals in between), it got patchy again and I had to blot and even out the color with my finger tip. The formula is not bad but its not effortless.
Unless you absolutely love the shade, I wouldn't recommend this.
Shade no. 03 is a vibrant orangish-coral shade with a creamy finish. The shade looks like a coral-red in the tube but on my lips, I don't see that hint of red at all, its a pure vivid coral. It looks quite bright in person but not neon bright. The shade is lovely for summers and paired with coordinating blush, brightens up the face beautifully. I'm not a fan of the formula but the shade is gorgeous and even though it takes a bit of effort, I will definitely be wearing this shade in the warmer season.
The GOOD about Deborah Milano Atomic Red Lipstick :
- Attractive packaging, colored label at the base is very convenient
- Soft, smooth texture
- Glides without tugging
- Good pigmentation
- Mildly moisturizing
- Creamy, glossy finish
- Good staying power
- Formula tends to get patchy and uneven
- Not very moisturizing
Overall Verdict
Deborah Milano Atomic Red Lipstick is 03 is a vibrant coral with a creamy finish that brightens up the face beautifully. The formula is very creamy and nicely pigmented but has a tendency to get patchy and uneven. It wears well for over 4 hours including meals but needs to be patted down into an even finish during that time. It doesn't feel as moisturizing as one would expect from such a creamy formula. The formula definitely needs improvement but the shade is pretty, if you love brights or corals, you could check this out.
