Democrats dig Gary Aubuchon, Republicans dig Dave Aronberg and Darryl Rouson
Members of the Pinellas legislative delegation appeared before the Suncoast Tiger Bay Club today, and received an especially hostile reception. The group has long skewed Democrat, but the level of hostility over the 2011 session from many members of the crowd was striking.
One question we liked: Name the person of the opposite party you admire most?
St. Petersburg Democrats Rick Kriseman and Darryl Rouson both sited House Rules Chairman Gary Aubuchon as being especially fair and even-handed.
Among the Republicans, state Reps. Ed Hooper and Jim Frishe mentioned former state Sen.-turned drug czar Dave Aronberg (and Frishe mentioned Rouson); Larry Ahern said state Rep. John Patrick Julien; Peter Nehr said Rouson; and state Sen. Jack Latvala mentioned his longtime friend, former state Sen. Ron Silver.
Each member was also asked to grade the legislature's performance and that of Gov. Rick Scott. Ahern gave both A's, drawing groans from the crowd; Frishe gave the legislature a B, and passed on the governor; Hooper gave the legislature a C and Scott and incomplete, since he's only been in office six months ("Too long!," someone shouted); Krisman and Rouson gave both Fs; Latvala graded the legislature "below average" Scott "improving;" Nehr gave the legislature an A for fiscal discipline.

ORLAND — The Orland High boys basketball team found itself in a zone Tuesday night, just not the kind the Trojans wanted.
Gridley employed a zone defense that limited Orland just enough in a 57-53 Bulldogs' victory in both teams' Butte View League opener.
Samuel Cota scored 18 points to lead Gridley (9-9). Quinn Spring had 13 points, Shobi Khan added 10 points and Gustavo Trinidad had eight points, including back-to-back baskets after Orland tied the game at 43 with about 3 minutes left in the fourth quarter.
For the Trojans (11-8), Kavi Ram had 20 points, eight rebounds and four assists. Garrett Ferreira had 12 points on four 3-pointers.
But the zone defense did enough for the Bulldogs.
"They don't have the shooters they've had in the past. Ferreira shoots the ball really well. We tried to play zone and force them to beat us from the outside," Gridley coach Nathan Link said.
Orland started slow enough, trailing 9-4 after the first quarter and 14-7 with 6:30 left in the second period.
"We didn't play with very much intensity tonight," Orland coach Jason Bragg said. "They did a nice job. Give Gridley credit. We just couldn't seem to get that level of intensity up that we've had in the past five games."
A 7-0 Orland run over the next 2:14 tied the game at 14. Ferreira hit a 3 on a Ram assist, and Brandun Smith-Flores scored consecutive buckets, the first on an offensive rebound and the next with an assist from Ram.
The Trojans kept it up with Ram taking care of things himself as he reached a milestone. Ram went over 1,000 points in his varsity career — the sixth Trojan to do so — with a spinning drive with 3:30 left in the half that made it 16-15 Orland and a hook shot that made it 18-15.
The hosts closed the first half with a 15-3 run as part of a 22-17 lead at the break.
Early in the third quarter, Orland extended the margin to 29-20 on another Ferreira 3, this time from the right corner and on a Micah Fleming assist.
But Gridley climbed back thanks to Cota, who made a trio of 3s in the third quarter. He hit back-to-back shots from outside with the second a straightaway shot with 1:40 left in the third that got Gridley within 35-34.
"Luckily, we were able to answer with scores in the second half," said Link, whose team took a 36-35 lead into the fourth quarter on a Trinidad basket.
The two teams exchanged shots for the first 5 minutes of the fourth quarter with a Ferreira 3 tying it at 38, Spring hitting a 3 for a 43-40 Gridley lead and Ram answering with a 3 to tie it again.
But the Trojans lost track of Trinidad on defense as he scored back-to-back layups, the first of which broke a 43-43 tie with 2:50 left in the game.
Orland's offense disappeared soon after as Gridley went up 49-44 on two Spring free throws with 1:07 remaining. Smith-Flores, who had six rebounds, four of them offensive, was whistled for a moving screen, his fifth foul with 58.3 seconds left.
Khan made two more from the line for a 53-44 Gridley lead. But Ram made it interesting with consecutive 3s; the latter left Orland within 53-50 with 15.7 seconds left as the Bulldogs missed four straight free throws.
Cota, though, secured the victory by making four straight free throws in the final 13.6 seconds, despite a Tanner Thomson 3 in between.
"I want the ball in his hands if we can at the end of the game," Link said of Cota. "BVL is going to be brutal this year. Road wins are going to be at a premium this year."
Gridley goes to Sutter for a 7:30 p.m. game Friday. Orland hosts Sutter at 7:30 p.m. next Tuesday.

Bicycling Generates $364.8 Million Annually For Iowa
Written by Taco Ride
Iowa has been building a reputation as a bicycling destination. Nationally known for RAGBRAI, the most popular ride in the country, cyclists continue to come from every state and many foreign countries just to participate. Moreover, Iowa cities, counties, and the State have invested in trail infrastructure to brand Iowa as the World Capital of Trails.
The economic benefits are paying off according to a report recently released by the Iowa Bicycle Coalition. A whopping $364.8 million overall from cycling is funnelled into the State's economy. RAGBRAI alone contributes $16.9 million annually. Locally, the popular Thursday Taco Ride on the Wabash Traces fuels the economy of Mineola and the businesses around the trail head.
The Iowa Bicycle Coalition began the Economic and Health Benefits of Bicycling (View Full Report) in Iowa study by working with the University of Northern Iowa Sustainable Tourism and Environment Program (STEP). The project was sponsored by a grant from Bikes Belong, Creating Great Places, and members of the Iowa Bicycle Coalition. Research tools were created to survey Iowa bicyclists, bikes shops, and bike clubs.
The study cites the economic impact of recreational cyclists' spending to generate $364.8 million in direct and indirect impacts to the State of Iowa. This is equivalent to $1 million per day spent for cycling. However, this study does not include out-of-state dollars generated through tourism to Iowa which would result in the impact being even higher.
"The return on investment was much larger than expected. We know that communities recognize the impact that an event like RAGBRAI has on the local economy. But what about the rest of the year when cyclists aren't concentrated on one route?" said Mark Wyatt, executive director of the Iowa Bicycle Coalition.
In addition to being an economic generator, bicycling can curb health care costs. Iowans need more physical activity. The Iowa Department of Public Health reports 29.3% of Iowans do not meet the recommended levels of physical activity. The Centers for Disease Control report 67.2% of Iowan adults were overweight or obese. Being sedentary and overweight leads to health problems increasing health care costs.
Bicycling can be part of the solution to Iowa's health issues. The study estimates that bicycling saves the State of Iowa $73.9 million in healthcare costs for those who cycle recreationally. Another $13,266,020 in health care costs is saved by those who commute to work.
"More opportunities for Iowans to bicycle will help Iowa become the healthiest state," says Wyatt, referring to the Healthiest State Initiative to make Iowa number one in health and wellness. "We know a lot of Iowans have bicycles, but may not have ridden them in some time. We need to find ways to encourage more bicycle riding." Trails are an investment in which 41% of Iowans use for physical fitness and 51% of the population is interested in using trails according to the 2006 Iowa Statewide Comprehensive Outdoor Recreation Plan.
Encouraging bicycling means continued investment in bicycle infrastructure like trails. The study indicates 66.5% of respondents would bicycle more often if there were more or better bicycle facilities. "Bike lanes, trails, cycle tracks, and other treatments make bicycling more convenient than driving." states Wyatt. "The bicycle facility workshop at the Iowa Bicycle Summit shows how cities can integrate bicycle facilities into their community infrastructure."
Small investments are made each year through the Iowa Recreational Trails Fund administered by the Iowa Department of Transportation through the Rebuild Iowa Infrastructure Fund. In 2011 the legislature invested $3million for trails. $2.5 million is in the budget for 2012. Efforts are underway to see the fund raised to $3 million or more. "This study indicates there is a solid return on investment through trails with more than $21 million being returned to the state in the form of sales tax.

If you are in the Bay Area there is one really great lineup at the Demon Days party at club Mezzanine in San Francisco tonight featuring legendary Detroit producer/DJ Carl Craig along with Gamall (Demon Days, NYC), plus the Bay Area's own longtime UK transplant Jonah Sharp under his Spacetime Continuum moniker featuring Nigerian drummer Sikiru Adepoju. And to top it off, local turntable crew [KONTROL] DJs featuring Alland Byallo, Nikola Baytala, Craig Kuna, and Sammy D will also be spinning throughout the night.
Carl Craig, accurately described as "the forefather of the second wave of Detroit techno," picked up where Juan Atkins and company started with that strain of electronic music in the Michigan city. In addition to being a super-talented, dedicated producer/DJ/remixer, Craig is also a committed cultural anthropologist and in 2000 was chosen as curator of the first Detroit Electronic Music Festival (something he since discontinued, as curator but not as a performer). As is evident in the above recent interview with the artist by UK based dollop, Carl Craig is always aware of and giving props to his city of Detroit and all the artists who have hailed from "the motor city" over the years including Kevin Saunderson, Bob Seger, Iggy Pop, and the White Stripes.

Voyager, previously known as the Future Strategic Tanker Aircraft, will replace the air-to-air refuelling (AAR) capability of the RAF's TriStars.
The first of 14 aircraft is already in RAF service undertaking Air Transport (AT) flying.
- Engines: 2
- Thrust: 72,100lbs each
- Max speed: 330kts
- Length: 58.82m
- Max altitude: 41,000ft
- Span: 60.3m
- Aircrew: 11
Voyager is based on the modern A330-200 passenger aircraft and will provide the RAF with a step change in reliability and capability in both the AAR and AT roles.
There are two types of Voyager: the KC2, with two under-wing pods and the KC3, a three-point tanker with an additional centre line hose for larger aircraft. The fuel necessary for refuelling operations, as well as for the aircraft itself, is carried within the existing tanks in the wings and fuselage. This arrangement leaves the cabin free for transporting up to 291 personnel and the cargo hold remains available for freight on either military or civil pallets.
Voyager will also have a flexible aeromedical configuration that includes the ability to carry up to 40 stretchers and three critical care patients.
The RAF will continue to retain responsibility for all military tasks. However, the contractor, Air Tanker Ltd, will own, manage and maintain the aircraft and provide infrastructure and support, training facilities and some personnel. In particular, Air Tanker will provide Sponsored Reserve pilots and engineers to support Number 10 Squadron, the first RAF Voyager Squadron to operate the aircraft. This unique arrangement allows the RAF to benefit from civil best practice whilst allowing Air Tanker to utilise excess capacity by operating some of the aircraft commercially when not required for RAF duty. Since its reformation on 1 July 2011, Number 10 Squadron has steadily grown and a second Voyager Squadron is to stand up in 2013.
Tanker and Transport
Atlas is an extremely flexible aircraft that will provide both Tactical and Strategic Airlift Capability.

jackl (740) Minneapolis, Minnesota | May 22, 2016
Globus seemed to be Geneva's answer to Harrods. It's a large, upscale place located in a pretty touristy part of town. The beer selection is located in the basement food hall. I was disappointed to find a very run of the mill selection of about 30 beers. Common offerings from Shepherd Neame and BFM rounded out a selection that was mostly comprised of standard Belgians. Most supermarkets in western countries with developed beer scenes would offer a selection comparable (or even better) to this place. If it wasn't already in the database, I wouldn't have added it. Prices were high, service was non-existent. Overall, this place entry merely clutters up the map. Globus is a great example of how when there aren't enough place raters to separate the wheat from the chaff, this site's all-inclusive policy hurts the user experience.

fancy shopping center with a mediocre beer selection. you have to enter through a whole floor of perfumes. they have a great wine selection and the food also looked good, but for beer try the coop city plainpalais.
Zupastan (22) Kortrijk, Belgium | June 21, 2014
Huge store in the center of Geneva, with a supermarket floor containing a few shelves of beer. You can find a few Belgian beers, as well as some Canadian, English as Siwss beers (BFM, Calvinus, Trois Dames). The beers (especially the Swiss beers) are quite expensive and selection could be better. The sad thing is that this is one of the only possibilities in Geneva to get hould of the smaller Swiss brews.
JorgeLee (267) , England | December 30, 2012
Posh department store with a pretty fancy booze section. Beer selection isn't huge but can usually be relied upon for some Swiss micros (BFM, Trois Dames etc) and a varying quality of foreigns. Not cheap.
augustiner719 (6) , Switzerland | December 12, 2012
Located on the bottom floor of the upscale GLOBUS shopping store, in the upscale grocery store. There are 2 or 3 shelves dedicated to beer. Some swiss craft beers available like BFM, Trois Dames, and some belgian, american and german varieties. Nice store to stop in while shopping, BFM is a great brewery and they seem to carry a few more of their varieties than other stores. Price is a bit high, but then again, it fits the bill for this type of store.
altonbrownd (342) Chevy Chase, Maryland | April 9, 2011
Globus is a very upscale department store on the posh side of Geneva Lake. It has a foodhall downstairs (think Harrod's) with a nice selection of bottles. I picked out a bunch of smaller Swiss brews, as well as some Spanish beer I hadn't tried before.

Indiana did all of that, and more, against a Temple team that assumed the persona of Wisconsin or Michigan State or any of the Big Ten bullies.
For a while, the Hoosiers blinked. Actually, they blinked a couple times.
They didn't break.
Let's make that clear.
Sunday night's 58-52 East Region gut-check victory over Temple showed IU has the mettle to thrive in a NCAA tourney pressure-cooker. In the final three-plus minutes, with everything at stake, it excelled, defended, executed and survived.
That's the biggest thing about this three-week, 68-team event. Sometimes, you just have to move on any way you can.
"It's a win and an experience and an understanding of the game that's going to help us moving forward, without a doubt," coach Tom Crean said.
So the top-seed Hoosiers (29-6) get fourth-seed Syracuse (28-9) Thursday in Washington D.C. It's their second straight Sweet 16 appearance. The last time they did that was in 1994 to complete a four-year run.
"We made it last year and we know what to expect," guard Remy Abell said. "We'll carry it over from last year. We know what our ultimate goal is. We're going to enjoy this, but we know we still have business to take care of."
Enjoyment came from big-play moments.
For instance:
Senior forward Christian Watford blocking Anthony Lee's shot and grabbing the rebound (with one hand) with less than three minutes left, which prevented Temple from extending its two-point lead.
How big was that play? The Owls never scored again as part of IU's 10-0 game-closing run. Watford said it was even bigger than last season's Kentucky beating three-pointer.
"I feel like that," he said. "My motivation is to play with these guys as long as possible. I'm willing to do whatever it takes to keep playing. I want to play until we can't play anymore."
Guard Jordan Hulls shrugged off a nasty first-half shot to the shoulder from Scootie Randall. Hulls is 6-foot (maybe) and 182 pounds (maybe). Randall is 6-6 and 225.
The injury basically knocked Hulls out for the rest of the half. He returned with a black shoulder wrap and a dark mood. He would do what needed to be done.
Just like all his teammates.
Hulls drained a three-pointer and then a fade-away to keep IU within comeback range. His five points were only half his season average, but don't underestimate their importance in which every point was as valuable as gold.
"My shoulder is good," Hulls said. "I'm sure it will be a little sore, but nothing too serious. You have to do a lot more to me than that to keep me off the floor in this kind of situation. My teammates had confidence in me. I was able to knock down some shots in the second half."
And then, biggest of all, was Victor Oladipo's victory clinching three-pointer with 14 seconds left. It's another example of how far he's come from last year, when he shot 20.8 percent from three-point range.
"If he's going to hit any shot, that's the one," teammate Derek Elston said. "You can't pass up an open look like that. He hit it and I don't think anybody is surprised. That's what he constantly works on. He's always in the gym working on his threes. That's huge for us."
This was the kind of game Indiana didn't always win during the regular season. Butler once and Wisconsin twice, in particular, had brawled the Hoosiers into defeat.
Temple tried and for, 37 minutes, it worked. The Hoosiers were on the brink. A lesser team would have buckled.
"If they were in our league," Crean said of Temple, "they'd be fighting for a championship. They're that good."
On Sunday, IU was better. It is, after all, the outright Big Ten champion. It made big plays at big moments, which is what you expect from a championship squad.
Still, with five minutes left, there were no guarantees. Was there any thought that this might be where a special season ends?
"No. I think about that before the game," Crean said. "Before the games start, that's miserable for me. I'm sure it is for a lot of coaches. This time of year, it's more so.
"You've got to purge yourself of those doubts. It's so hard. You pray and try to get all that negativity out of your head.
"Yeah, I don't want it to end. I love being around these guys. They're as smart and tough minded as any group I've ever been around."
On Sunday night, they proved it. On Thursday, they'll get the chance to prove it again.
That's how you win a championship.

Nourishing Your Body: Part 3 With Michelle Allison
{via etsy by Robert Crum}
Here's the last part of my interview with nutritionist Michelle Allison, who blogs at The Fat Nutritionist.
Below, Allison shares how readers can reconnect to their hunger and fullness signals, the importance of enjoying food for nourishing yourself and much more.
Q: After yo-yo dieting or engaging in disordered eating, many people lose sight of their satiety and hunger cues. What's a helpful way for individuals to reconnect to these signals?
A: As I said before, having regular meals at regular times can help with this. Trying to start off by deciding "I'll just eat when I'm hungry and stop when I'm full" can be difficult for some people, because what if you don't know what hunger and fullness feel like? I didn't.
Instead, deciding "I'm going to have a real breakfast, a real lunch, and a real dinner" for a while, even taking a single bite of something if you don't think you're hungry, can help to reconnect you with those feelings and even stimulate them to be stronger.
Q: On your website, you write, "When eating stops being fun, it means you've taken a wrong turn." In our society, the idea that food can be fun is foreign, or worse, dangerous. What do you mean by that statement?
A: Ellyn Satter, the dietitian and therapist who developed the eating competence model, says "When the pleasure goes out of eating, nutrition suffers."
It means that, when you're not enjoying food and the process of eating it – and also if you don't like your body enough to take care of yourself with food – your health and the nutritional quality of your diet, over the long run, will be poorer.
People who don't enjoy their food won't have good enough reason to do all the things it takes to get food into the house, on the table, and into themselves at regular times. When you don't eat regularly, nutrition definitely suffers, as does your connection to your body.
If you think the only food that can be fun is "bad food" or "junk food," eaten in quantities that make you feel bad, that's a red flag that you think in black-and-white, all-or-nothing ways about food, and that you haven't learned to listen to your body or to enjoy a wide range of foods.
When you have a good relationship with food, all kinds of food can be fun and enjoyable to eat.
Q: It seems like, by and large, today's nutritionists help people lose weight or watch their weight. Why do you think the field seems to lean this way?
A: I think it leans this way partially because this is what clients want, and sometimes demand. Our culture has somehow conflated the concepts of health and weight control, such that people see them as the same thing, that you can't have one without the other.
Nutritionists and dietitians also live in this culture, and most of them hold that same belief.
People often express that they want to lose weight for health reasons, but since health can be pursued independently of weight loss, there are often other reasons at play.
Most of those have to do with wanting to fit into a society that values and caters to thinner people, and wanting to not be stigmatized or treated differently for your size. Wanting to belong and not be excluded.
These are legitimate reasons, but they point to the fact that the trouble with weight is not located in the individual body, but in how our culture treats people and values people based on their size.
The culture needs to change. Not fat people.
Q: What's your favorite food?
A: Spaghetti!
Q: Anything else you'd like readers to know about normal eating, nutrition, body image or a similar topic?
A: I want people to know that deep down, they really do know how to eat, even if it's been covered up or they've been disconnected from that knowledge. They know how to eat for them, and that might look differently from how anyone else eats, and that is okay.
People have the right to eat however they want, because our bodies belong to us.
Not only do we have the right, but the obligation to make our own food decisions.
Sartre says we are "condemned to be free" – we not only are free to make choices, we have to make choices for ourselves. Refusing to make a choice is a choice.
Deciding you will follow someone else's rules is a choice. And if you're going to have to make a choice, it may as well be one that actually makes sense for you.
You are free, whether you like it or not.
Thanks so much to Michelle for her insight! I'm honored to share her work on Weightless.

JIM LEHRER: And finally tonight, the unveiling of a bronze statue of the nation's 40th president, Ronald Reagan.
Friends and family, including the 87-year-old former first lady, gathered in the Capitol Rotunda for today's ceremony. And here's an excerpt, beginning with comments from House Speaker Nancy Pelosi.
REP. NANCY PELOSI, D-Calif., speaker of the House: The unveiling of a statue in the Capitol is always exciting, but rarely are we able to do it in the presence of an immediate family member. It's usually about history.
Today it is a great privilege for all of us — for all of us — to be joined by the former first lady, Mrs. Ronald Reagan, Nancy Reagan. We're honored by your presence.
NANCY REAGAN, former First Lady of the United States: The statue is a wonderful likeness of Ronnie, and he would be so proud. You know, the last time that I was in this room was for Ronnie's service, so it's nice to be back under happier circumstances.
ANNOUNCER: Ladies and gentlemen, the statue of President Ronald Reagan.
JIM LEHRER: President Reagan lay in state in the Capitol Rotunda, where the statue now stands. He died in 2004 at the age of 93.

Last week, a video surfaced on YouTube of what appeared to be a drone hovering over a residential neighborhood in West Oakland. Filmed by videographer Jacob Crawford, the eerie unmanned aircraft was held aloft by several mini helicopter-like blades with blinking red-and-green lights.
Drones have been a pressing issue for our friends across the bay; in December, the Alameda County Sheriff's Department incited anger and paranoia when it revealed plans to buy its own drone, for whatever reason. However, the $31,646 item was put on hold after the American Civil Liberties Union accused the department of trying to slip it past East Bay folks without enough public vetting. Sheriff Greg Ahern assured the Chronicle that he would only use the drone for "mission-specific incidents" such as search-and-rescue missions.
Ahern, who says he doesn't have his own drone, has insisted the aircraft would not be for spying on civilians. So then why did Crawford's video include a clip of Ahern talking about how the unmanned aircraft had great surveillance potential?
Specifically, he says, "We wouldn't use it for Occupy Oakland movement; however, I'm not going to tell you we wouldn't use it in the event that a crowd turned violent and and started vandalizing or harming people."
So if the drone above doesn't belong to the Alameda County Sheriff's Department, then whose is it?
The device belongs to a hobbyist named Cody Oliver, who reached out to Crawford when he saw the video. If you keep up with the tech world, Oliver's name may ring a bell -- he was a developer of the early P2P file-sharing network Gnutella and made the news last year when he stumbled upon cobbled-together Pentagon lightning guns while building tricked-out cars for Burning Man.
When asked about the privacy issues a civilian drone might present, he told SF Weekly, "In the day and age of nanny cams I don't think anyone has any privacy now. If someone wants to watch you, $50 bucks and a hidden cam is all that is needed." But he also assured us that he has no intentions of using his drones (yes, he's collecting) for surveillance. Instead, he's working on a terrain-mapping project for a friend. The flight captured on Crawford's video was intended to test the aircraft for stability -- the small propellers cause a vibration that can interfere with the craft's GPS.
Oliver also wasn't content with the term "drone" for his aircraft. Hobbyists call them UAVs -- unmanned aerial vehicles -- and aren't very happy about the legislative attempts to regulate their flights. In a forum about UAVs, one user wrote, "The entire community should stop using the word 'drone.' Drones, to me, are UAVs used for surveillance. That's what people are afraid of, the loss of privacy, not the aircraft itself. Stop associating with that. We have RC toys that we use for fun, not surveillance."
Although drones seem spooky, the potential for simple fun is clearly there. Oliver isn't the only person piloting drones through the Oakland skies; another hobbyist named Lloyd Ranola posted a video captured by his drone that features a scenic look at Mandela Parkway. The following video features stunning drone-recorded images of the Golden Gate Bridge, Lombard Street, and other tourist destinations (heads up: this drone flight is set to extremely loud dubstep).
And as entertaining as some civilians find drones, companies are also noticing their potential for commercial use. The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) forbids commercial drone operation, and in January, the LAPD told off real estate agents for using them to create life-like walk-through videos of their properties.
With the popularity of UAVs already on the rise, we're sure to see many more of them in the sky by 2015, when the FAA will release regulations allowing commercially operated drones in the United States. According to Government Technology, the FAA predicts that as many as 15,000 drones will take flight by 2020. And although the Alameda County Sheriff's Department hasn't obtained one yet, 17 police departments across the country have applied for FAA permission to fly UAVs.
Whatever you think of drones, just know, they'll soon be flying in a neighborhood near you.

Ive just started using Retin-A for acne and was wondering if it could cuz breakouts until Im used to using it. Ive heard about the possibitly of causing dry skin and flaking but concerned about the breakouts. I know its not a miracle and wont see improvement right away just so im not shocked if I notice more breakouts than usual. I appreciate any answers and thanks in advance!
Will Retin-A Make my Skin Worse Before It Gets Better?
Doctor Answers 7
Retin A for photoaging and acne
If you do not have acne now, the risk that it may worsen with starting Retin A is small. Even for acne-prone skin, there are ways of minimizing initial dryness, flaking and acne breakouts.
Retinoids, like Retin A, are excellent products for both photoaging and acne. They do take close to 4 months of consistent use to see results. The good news is that results continue improving as you continue using the products.
I recommend starting Retin A slowly, twice a week at nighttime, using a small amount (about pea-size) for the entire face. Avoid the eye area as the skin is very delicate there and may get irritated easily, especially in the winter. Then you can slowly increase the use of Retin A by adding one more day per week over several weeks. And use a sunscreen daily as Retin A does make you more sun-sensitive.
To minimize flaking and scaling if you skin is dry and sensitive:
1. Use a mild cleanser without any abrasives, washcloths, spongies or anything that scrubs your face.
2. Blot your face dry and wait 15-20 minutes before applying Retin A
3. If your skin is dry to begin with, apply a thin layer of facial moisturizer made for sensitive skin (fragrance-free and dye-free) under the Retin A
Treating Acne with Retinoids
The bad news about all acne treatments is that they typically will take about 6 weeks to effect the overall severity. As a physician, this is often the hardest part of caring for a patient. The statement, "I started on Retin-A, my skin is red and flaky and my acne is no better, I'm quitting" is a common one. Retinoids are a good treatment for acne and if you give it 6 weeks, the likelihood is that your skin will be better.
Side-ffects of Retin-A Use Include Dryness, Flaking and Redness.

Retin-A can cause redness, irritation, and flaky skin. Acne breakouts could occur, but get better quickly.
Since Retin-A acts to increase metabolic activity in the upper layers of the skin, exfoliation, more rapid cellular turnover, and increased skin thickness due to increased vascularity needed to support this activity are normal responses as patients start this therapy. Acne generally gets better as the upper dead skin cells slough off more rapidly, new skin cells push off the dry dead layers, and excess oils are reduced. 'BUT, you can have some irritation, redness, and dryness that can cause slight swelling in the pores, which can lead to trapped sebum and the occasional outbreak or stray pimple! But only for a while as your skin acclimates to the effects of the Retin-A.
Start slowly, maybe every 3rd or 4th day at first, allowing your skin to recover between Retin-A exposures. As your skin tolerates the effects better, you can increase to every other day, and eventually daily use.
Retin-A, in combination with proper skin care, topical or oral antibiotics (prescribed by your Dermatologist), and even certain kinds of laser, IPL, or LED wavelengths, is a truly helpful skin and acne pharmaceutical (need a prescription) available at your doctor's office or skin care clinic!

Retin A
Retin A is a great treatment for slowing the signs of photoaging of the skin. On occasion when first using this cream, irritation, dryness, redness and scaling may occur. This resolve with time or with decreasing the amount applied or frequency. Occasionally, this irritation flares an acne break out but this should be short lived as it is a very effective treatment for acne.
REtin-A is a wonderful drug but must be slowly implemented with proper education and avoidance of sun exposure and liberal use of mositurizers.

Well thats another successful event - the only bummer was that it was out of town - will fix that for next time! Sydney Melbourne and Canberra are next week - I know Sydney and Melbourne are in good locations!
I took a look at the eval scores for the event yesterday - by the looks of it people got a lot out of it with people putting in great scores and indicating that they would definately come next time!
I think the real important thing here is that its not a panel style of thing...(yes I know we advertised it like that) but its very much presentation style...and without slides so we cant ramble on forever but get to the point a lot quicker 🙂
I took some video of it last night and will try to get some snippets up on the web shortly!

Jane Wicker, wing walker killed in Ohio, remembered
Wing-walking through the missing man formation was a fitting flying farewell for Jane Wicker.
The 44-year-old wing walker and Bristow mother of two died when the plane she was performing on crashed during an airshow in Ohio in late June
Her pilot Charlie Schwenker also died.
In front of a large crowd of family and friends at the family circus aerodrome in Bealeton, where Wicker was first picked to be a wing walker years ago, a lone plane scattered her ashes.
She'd planned to marry her fiancé while standing on the wing of a flying airplane. Instead, he read a poem dedicated to his beloved wing women.
Wicker said in an interview that she didn't get nervous when performing and had never had a close call. Now the NTSB is investigating the cause of the crash that took her life.

Twelve injured as Shanghai subway escalator suddenly switches to reverse
An accident involving a subway escalator on the Shanghai metro sees 12 victims taken to hospital
A defect on an escalator in Shanghai's subway system during the morning rush hour injured 12 people on Wednesday, with an investigation continuing.
The Shanghai Morning Post reported the defect occurred at around 8.20am on an escalator travelling upwards at the Jingansi subway station.
"The escalator suddenly ran reversely and passengers rolled down [the escalator] like being thrown out," the newspaper quoted a witness as saying.
Shanghai's subway operator said 12 people were slightly injured in the incident, including one individual whose condition required further observation. All the victims were taken to hospital.
The operator had suspended the use of escalators in the station and a thorough investigation on the accident was underway.
Escalator accidents have taken place before in China.
One of the worst cases happened in Beijing in 2011, when an escalator in a subway station suddenly went into reverse, causing one death and 30 injuries.
A government investigative report into that incident said later a bolt had broken, causing the drive chain in the escalator's motor to fall off, leading to the sudden reversal. An auxiliary brake also failed to function properly.
The escalator's manufacturer Otis was fined with 300,000 yuan (HK$377,003) and Beijing subway authorities suspended the operation of 177 Otis escalators used in its stations.
The nationwide General Administration of Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine Department subsequently ordered a nationwide halt in the use of the model of Otis escalator at the centre of the Beijing incident. It said the accident was a result of design and machinery flaws in that model.

High Capacity Sidearm
I'm looking to buy a high capacity sidearm. I don't necessarily want a typical semi-auto like a Beretta or Glock, but something that is a submachine gun style pistol like a Mac-10. Criteria for what I'm looking for would be:
1. Accurate to 75 yds, give or take.
2. At least 15-round capacity magazine.
3. No more than $400-450.
4. Chambered for 9mm (preferably).
5. Fairly reliable and durable.
Not sure a machine pistol can be had for the price range you seek. They are spendy and semi-auto unless you get a class 3 tax stamp for one. Your better off with a xdm 9mm by Springfield arms which holds I believe 16 rounds. You are still looking at 500 to 600 bucks.
That's odd criteria for sure. About the closest I can conceive of is a KelTec Sub2000 but it's actually a rifle, albeit a very compact one chambered in 9mm.
They cost $300-400. The Glock17 version will accept Glock mags in capacities of 10, 17, or 33. Very portable and certainly concealable behind/under a car seat, but hardly a "sidearm". They are accurate beyond 100yds. I hit two clay targets in two shots at 100yds the other day using only the peep sights. I'm a pretty mediocre shot, so luck was involved. But it's accurate enough.
Only "fairly reliable" ??? You could get an XD or an XDm for that price and have more capacity, it will go bang every time and shoot as fast as you can pull the trigger all day long.
A Mac-10 is a spray and pray gun, not a target pistol.
A CZ75b can hold a 19+1 magazine, XDm9's come with 19+1 magazines, both are a little more that your criteria.
im pretty sure the xdm is 19+1
thats pretty high capacity
and like goju said, if you can accurately shoot, or even HIT a target past 75 yards with a pistol, i wanna be your best friend.
Accurate to 75 yards and $450 max price are mutually exclusive terms in the handgun realm. Dream on.
Believe it or not, I saw a Mac 10 at Cabellas in Grand Junction the other day. I was surprized with their selection of guns. I just passed over it. I wasn't interested. They are nice and scary looking. But, I don't know how reliable they are. Want to say it was $400 or $500. I figure if Cabelas was selling it, it was semi-auto. I don't know if there is a Cabelas near you.

Advanced Fitness Assessment and Exercise Prescription, Seventh Edition, is organized around physical fitness components, providing information on assessment followed by guidelines for designing exercise programs to improve each fitness component. The text begins with an overview of physical activity, health, and chronic disease, followed by discussion of preliminary health screening and risk classification, including the principles of fitness assessment, exercise prescription, and exercise program design. The remainder of the text provides in-depth coverage of assessment and exercise prescription for each of five physical fitness components: cardiorespiratory endurance, muscular fitness (strength, endurance, and power), body composition, flexibility, and balance.
In each chapter, key questions help readers focus on essential information. Key points, review questions, and key terms reinforce concepts and summarize chapter content. An instructor guide, test package, chapter quizzes, and presentation package plus image bank provide tools for lecture preparation, creative content delivery, and class assessment. New to the seventh edition are online video clips for both students and instructors to further aid comprehension of the text and provide an additional tool for classroom demonstration.

Storing binary data in MySQL take 2
So PHP has a couple variables that can be set that instill limitations on filesizes and amount of data that can be processed by a form. This is great on all accounts until access to the PHP.ini file is not allowed on the webserver.
My question:
How can I store binary data (JPG, MP3, ZIP) in a MySQL Blob without being affected by the limitations imposed by my hosting provider? I have tried many different methods but they all have one thing in common, they don't work. I'm thinking some Perl will be neceesary but I know nothing about it.
Any assistance that can be offered would be fantastic!!
Thanks -Cole
Have you tried setting a local ini value using ini_set()?
Here is my test script:
Thanks for the advice though, was something I had not tried -- learned something new as well!! ;)
Doing a little googling I found that you can put a modified php.ini file in your public_html folder and this should be picked up when your scripts run. I've never tried it but worth a shot?
some quick googling looks like it's a combination of .htaccess and a customized php.ini -- I will test this later today on my box at home but I fear that it may not work on my hosting provider's setup... It is worth a shot and any chance I could convince you to post a link?? I did some quick googling and got some conflicting answers.

Newborn and Infant Care
breas feeding
Hi, I was the one who wrote about "breast milk and formula"the reason I cannot breast feed is that I'm hepa B carrier, although the pediatrician said that I can breast feed because the baby was vaccinated within 6 hours of birth and is going to take his hepa shots on time, But i still have doubts, I've read a lot about hepa and breast feeding and the answers are positive,what do you think? and also, why is pumped breast milk second best, what is the difference between pumped breast milk and direct breast milk?
Hello. I am glad you wrote back. Your pediatrician is correct. Research indicates that breastfeeding does not increase the risk that a baby will contract Hep B when a mother is Hep B positive. The choice to breastfeed still is yours.
Possible infant exposure to Hep B during labor or birth via contact with a mother's blood, the amniotic fluid, or vaginal secretions is associated with infant infection with hepatitis B. Whether your baby is breast or bottle-fed, treatment for possible labor and birth exposure is the same. The recommendation is that he should receive hepatitis B immunogloulin (HBIG) within 12 hours of birth, followed by the Hep B vaccine (HBV) series of injections--the first injection within the first week, the second at a month, and the third injection at six months. He should also be screened for HBsAg during his first year to determine if he is a carrier. It will be very important for you to make sure your baby receives the HBV injections at the recommended times; without timely treatment he is much more likely to develop active hepatitis and become a chronic carrier.
Now for your other breastfeeding question: Pumped breastmilk is more likely to be used when a baby is unable to breastfeed for a short or long time, such as when a baby is premature or for a baby with a severe cleft palate. Occasionally, a mother's physical or mental health condition interferes with breastfeeding so she may pump instead of breastfeeding directly.
Direct breastfeeding is best because the milk is not exposed to anything in the environment. Pumped breastmilk is second best because its exposure to cold and then heat may alter its contents very slightly; however, it still is superior to infant formula. In your situation, it is not necessary to pump your milk; there appears to be no health reason for you not to breastfeed directly if you so choose.
Your pediatrician has probably written references regarding breastfeeding when positive for Hepatitis B. You should feel free to ask for them. The references I used for this reply are:
Riordan, J & Auerbach, K (1998). Breastfeeding and human lactation (2nd ed.). Boston, MA: Jones & Bartlett.
Lawrence, RA (1997). A review of the medical benefits and contraindications to breastfeeding in the United States (Maternal and Child Technical Bulletin). Arlington, VA: National Center for Education in Maternal and Child Health.
Again, the best of luck as you begin the wonderful adventure of motherhood. Your baby is lucky that you are so concerned for his health.

Deflation, Inflation or Hyperinflation in a Peak Oil World?
Posted on May 7 2010 at 09:49:17 AM in Money
Recently there has been a lot of talk among analysts and in the blogosphere about whether we are headed for a period of deflation, inflation or possibly even hyperinflation. There are two significant points to note about this discussion: (1) there is no consensus view and (2) has there been a period in recent history when the debate equally includes the prospects for all three (inflation, deflation and hyperinflation)? It's all very unusual and in my mind points to just how much risk and uncertainty there is out there.
There was a good post on the subject by Ed Harrison at nakedcapitalism, and an interesting discussion in the comments ensued. The post was not in the context of Peak Oil, but Harrison makes two important points. He says the conditions for hyperinflation are:
1) a huge foreign currency obligation and
2) loss of a significant amount of production capacity.
He goes on to a discussion of the Weimar Republic and Zimbabwe. A third condition that many others noted was that for hyperinflation to take hold there needs to be a complete loss of confidence in fiat money.
I've been trying to get my head wrapped around this in the context of Peak Oil to understand whether deflation, inflation or possibly hyperinflation are a risk. The conditions for hyperinflation are not close to being present right now – there is generally a glut of productive capacity since economies are operating well below potential output, and many economies, especially the U.S., may be in a Japan-like liquidity trap, which portends deflation risk. Thinking further, however, there may be a path that leads to hyperinflation and there is a significant probability of several highly indebted economies heading down that path. To understand how hyperinflation could take hold, let's outline the progression of Peak Oil impacts under a worst case scenario:
1) oil prices rise, much as they did in 2008, to a level that induces recessionary conditions;
2) recessionary conditions cause output to fall, oil prices recede as there is temporary slack in the oil market;
3) growth is sluggish, but governments manage to reflate, much as we saw through 2009 and into 2010; developing countries that also experienced a growth slowdown resume their previous pattern of growth; over a period of a year or two global output again puts pressure on the oil market, oil market slack is used up and oil prices once again trend higher;
4) while oil prices are increasing, the oil price level that previously might have caused recession now merely puts a break on growth, so oil prices test and exceed the previous high and continue to increase to a new higher level that does in fact induce recessionary conditions, again producing some slack in the oil market;
5) the process in (4) may repeat once, twice or several times, but each time several things happen:
(i) there is demand destruction – some consumers and businesses give up marginal activities thereby decreasing there use of oil;
(ii) an increasing proportion of GDP is devoted to spending on oil (at $100 per barrel, that's about 5.4% of global output)
(iii) for net oil importers, increasing amounts of GDP are going towards paying for oil ("oil debt") and while there is demand destruction there is also a reallocation of GDP towards oil and away from other economic activities – discretionary expenditures suffer;
(iv) there are price increases not only in the oil price, but also in many other goods that will quickly be impacted because oil is a key component in production (food);
(v) industries that produce discretionary products and services suffer – consumers are cutting back expenditures and reallocating to oil; discretionary products and services experience deflation due to excess capacity;
6) the process induces layoffs as businesses cut back, unemployment increases to a new level with each cycle; any slack in the oil market put out by developed countries is taken up by the developing countries, or oil producing countries themselves, whose oil consumption is escalating rapidly (many OPEC producers subsidize gasoline prices, and they would continue to do this in the face of rising oil prices, cushioning their population);
7) the cycle in (4) above reaches a tipping point as the combination of unemployment and bankruptcies stresses the financial sector again, leading to a second phase financial crisis; a range of events could provide the spark – a balance of payments crisis in any of several countries at risk, a crisis of confidence at a major financial institution.
Whether governments could step into the breach and plug the dam again is an open question. I suppose they would try, but governments, particularly western governments, have little room left over to finance another bailout. Even if they are successful a second time, what happens the third time? – it's clear that both government and consumer debt levels are generally unsustainable. Once confidence in the ability of governments to stem financial crisis is lost, you would have panic in the financial markets. Paper assets (bonds, shares) may not be worth much, but this alone is not sufficient to lead to hyperinflation. Returning to the preconditions for hyperinflation indicated by Harrison, where would the economy be at this point (and I guess I'm asking this question primarily from the point of view of western net oil consuming countries)?:
- is significant external debt present? Even for the U.S., which only has dollar denominated debt, I suggest the answer is yes. How? – the oil debt, while not a debt in the traditional sense, economies are highly leveraged to it and there is no possibility of canceling the debt in the short or medium term
- is there a loss of productive capacity? yes…increasing over time as rising oil prices lead to demand destruction and shuttering of capacity in a range of economic sectors and, the oil supply itself could begin to fall in a Peak Oil scenario (both because depletion rates and because financial crisis leads to curtailed investment in new production capacity) and so oil directly becomes the productive factor in short supply.
Under this scenario it is not difficult to imagine a loss of confidence in fiat currency, the third condition that may be required for hyperinflation. Of course, governments would also have to resort to the printing presses, but this money would have to actually be spent rather than being held as reserves by the banks (if I understand Harrison and various commenters correctly). In a financial crisis governments may just step in directly by making oil purchases, or to meet any number of other government spending requirements, in the face of otherwise falling tax receipts – governments may not want to take such action, but in a crisis events can rapidly overtake. It's also possible that in these circumstances the velocity of money would increase rapidly (it's been declining since the GFC), and that could become the spark for hyperinflation.
In a hyperinflation scenario, fiat money is worthless. Hard goods have value. Barter increases rapidly. The financial system is in meltdown. The risk is not that such a scenario will happen, but that it could happen so easily as events become self-fulfilling. And there is not a policy-maker in the world that will talk about it publicly, let alone propose a plan. That's not surprising, as the consequences seem so dire and potentially farfetched.
I welcome comments and discussion. If you would like to read about what happens in a hyperinflationary economy, check out Post Peak Oil World: A Description, a previous Sticky Feet post that describes the post-Soviet Union and Cuba experience in light of their own Peak Oil experience.

Frontier Ruckus returns to Lansing, studio
|By Rich Tupica
City Pulse checks in with Matthew Milia of Frontier Ruckus on inspiration for the next album
Friday, Dec. 13 — The members of Frontier Ruckus cut their teeth in the Michigan folk-rock scene while attending Michigan State University, though today they spend much of their time on the road or flying overseas playing gigs. The band, formed in 2003 by its 28-year-old chief songwriter Matthew Milia, is in the studio working on a fourth full-length album.
The band headlines an all-ages show tonight at The Loft. Milia checked in with City Pulse to recap 2013, discuss touring and inspiration for the new album.
What has Frontier Ruckus been up to in 2013? Where did you tour?
Can you tell me about your collection of art and "Song Illustrations?"
The record after the one we're working on is already written. So I like to draw or write poetry to experiment with how expression changes within different formats and where that can lead my fancies. I started this art "brand" called Sitcom Universe which is really just my outlet for any art that is primarily visual — whether it be drawing fan art for my favorite episodes of "Cheers" or "Frasier" or 15-foot wide polyptychs adorned by childhood POGs and grotesque depictions of the female form or this new series I'm doing of "Song Illustrations." The people that buy my art are basically Frontier Ruckus fans firstly, so I like to incorporate that universe as well — it being so chief to my artistic life.
Is the new record underway?
What record have you been listening to the most these days and why do you dig that particular LP so much?
I've been obsessed with basically all of the records of Teenage Fanclub for the past few months. Only recently got into them, but I fell hard. They write just such pleasing and incredibly melodic pop songs. And there being three different singers keeps it fresh for longer. I think I prefer the bass player's tunes though.
How has the band's sound changed/grown since the "I am the Water you are Pumping" days? Has it?
We were limited to acoustic, folky sounds then, but we also had a certain purity and rawness from being young and a little rough around the edges. As we've developed, we realized what interested us was being as diverse as possible, while still retaining and being faithful to the intrinsic parts of our identity that should remain un-tampered with. That said, we've become more interested in entertaining the environmental influences of polished pop '90s radio that we grew up with, yet doing so by mixing it with our love for lo-fi, or our love for the more organic sounds of '60s and '70s folk rock.
What are the best and worst parts of touring the country and beyond?
Best: checking in with faraway friends on a regular basis, well-balanced partying, cool used-book shops, meeting fans, playing music, regional foods, pretty girls. Worst: losing touch with the intense sense of locality that spurred the songs I'm out singing in the first place.
What is next for Frontier Ruckus?
