Engineering students gain hands-on experience
Submitted by Leigh-Anne Mauk on Mon, 01/24/2005 - 1:00am
Hagerstown Community College engineering students recently tested waterwheels they built for the Introduction to Engineering course. The students worked in teams of four and were responsible for developing a waterwheel that would lift a minimum of 100 grams a minimum distance of 10 cm. The waterwheel had maximum dimensions of 53 cm x 40 cm x 35 cm tall. The only power source they could use was 1.4 liters of water. The students developed mathematical models to predict how much mass they could lift and how high they could lift it based on their design.
The Introduction to Engineering course at HCC is fully approved for transfer credit with the Clark School of Engineering at University of Maryland, College Park and the School of Engineering at UMBC. Please contact Tanya Mayer at email@example.com, or call 301-790-2800, ext. 202, for more details.

For California, a budget surplus won't translate into a reserve
Justin Sullivan/Getty Images
A view of the California State Capitol. The budget outlook is improving for the Golden State, but that doesn't mean there will soon be a lot of money on the bank.
California may declare a surplus for its fiscal year 2014 budget. Unfortunately, the state won't be able to put money in the bank for a rainy day.
That doesn't mean its outlook isn't looking up. The credit rating agency Moody's likes what it sees in the Golden State's improved fiscal situation. In particular, the passage of Prop 30 last November — raising incomes taxes on wealthy Californians and sales taxes on everybody — bodes well for future revenues.
But getting the budget out of deficit and into surplus doesn't mean the state will be prepared for the next inevitable economic bust.
Moody's analyst Emily Raimes blames a history of underfunding education.
"As revenues increase in the state in the next few years, additional revenues will have to be dedicated to bringing that education funding back to the baseline where it would have been if the state had not been doing that underfunding," she said.
If you want to buy a house in Santa Monica, bring $1 million or go home

Gorgeous. You can visit, but if you want to live with this view, you'll need a million bucks.
This week, real estate tracking firm DataQuick released its annual report on the condition of the million-dollar (and up...waaayyy up) home market in California.
There was the usual drive-by-and-gawk stuff. The Woodside manse that went for $117.5 million in 2012. A 13-bathroom (is that unlucky?) palace in Bel Air. The seemingly impressive 26,993 homes that sold for a million or more in 2012 in California, a 27 percent rise from 2011.
Why seemingly impressive?
Because in 2007, the total was 45,502.
How far we have fallen.
The report also contained this astounding factoid: "Virtually all home sales in some communities were in the $1 million-plus category."
One of those communities was Santa Monica. Specifically, what DataQuick analyst John Karevoll identified as the "enclavish" zip code of 90402, where 91.2 percent of the homes sold in 2012 changed hands for at least a million bucks.
CHART: January jobs report: US adds 157,000 jobs, unemployment rate goes to 7.9 percent
Daniel Vera, assistant manager at the Altadena Walmart Neighborhood Market, greets job seekers at the "Hiring Altadena" event.
The Labor Department released its January jobs report Friday. The country added 157,000 jobs for the month and the unemployment rate went to 7.9 percent from December's 7.8 percent.
In the words of the Bureau of Labor Statistics' economists, the situation was "essentially unchanged" from last month.
The 157,000 number was lower than what payrolls processor ADP reported earlier as well as what economists surveyed by Bloomberg were expecting. However, it was in line with the pace of job growth in the U.S. over the past 12 months.
The economy can tread water with sub-200,000-per-month job growth. To really drive the unemployment rate down to what economists call "full employment" — an unemployment rate of around 5 percent — the economy would need to add 300,000-to-400,000 new jobs each month.
Standard & Poor's upgrades California's bonds...but state is still in the bottom two
Sharon McNary/KPCC
California Gov. Jerry Brown speaks in support of Prop. 30 at a rally of UCLA students on campus, Oct. 16, 2012. The passage of the ballor measure in combination with fiscal discipline has led ratings agencies to re-examine California's debt.
Hot on the heels of lowering Illinois' general obligation (GO) bond debt one notch, from "A" to "A-", Standard & Poor's raised California's GO debt to "A" from "A-".
So California is now the second lowest rating U.S. state, among those whose debt S&P rates.
It was S&P's first upgrade for the state since before the financial crisis.
I talked to California Treasurer Bill Lockyer after the announcement, and he credited the combination of Prop 30 — the ballot measure passed last November that raised sales taxes and income taxes on wealthy Californians — along with improved fiscal discipline for prompting the upgrade.
Another agency, Fitch Ratings, is also keeping an eye on California's improving finances. Doug Offerman, an analyst I spoke with last year, wouldn't put a timetable on a possible upgrade, but he did indicate that Fitch likes the math Prop 30 delivers:
The Phil Mickelson dilemma: Why California can't afford to lose its millionaires
Donald Miralle/Getty Images
Phil Mickelson speaks to reporters following play during the Pro-Am at the Farmers Insurance Open at Torrey Pines South Golf Course on January 23 in La Jolla, California. Will higher taxes drive him and other rich Californians to tax-free states?
Millionaire professional golfer and San Diegan Phil Mickelson got himself into a spot of bogeyish bother during the weekend when he said that in response to rising income taxes on the wealthy in the U.S. and California, he would have to take "drastic action."
Observers interpreted the pronouncement as a pledge to leave the Golden State for the tax-free embrace of Florida to which Mickelson's fellow native Californian, Tiger Woods, skedaddled in the mid-1990s. It also shed some light on why, after being part of an investor group that won the bidding for the Padres last year and bought the team for $800 million, he pulled up his ownership stake.
Florida is pretty much the epicenter of pro golf. Numerous touring professionals, American and otherwise, have pitched their tents there. Mickelson is something of an outlier for choosing tax-addled California and having to add to his private jet flying time when he visits the links of Europe.

Jones wins, Watson medals at Bob Timmons Classic
LAWRENCE, Kan. – The Oral Roberts University men's and women's track and field teams opened the indoor season on Saturday at the Bill Timmons Challenge, hosted by Kansas. The Golden Eagles finished the meet with a pair of medals and seven top five finishes.
Leading the way for ORU was senior jumper Tim Jones as he earned gold in the triple jump with a distance of 14.62 meters. It was Jones' third first place finish of his career.
Jones also performed well in the long jump event, just missing the top five with a 6.92-meter mark.
The top women's finisher was cross country All-Southland performer Samantha Watson as she recorded a time of 10:36.27 to finish second in the 3000 meter run.
Sophomore David Batchelder had a solid afternoon, placing fourth in the mile run and also anchored the distance medley relay team, which also finished fourth. Batchelder crossed the finish line in the mile with a time of 4:32.60 and combined with teammates Jonathan Harper, Joshua Lee and Cameron Peterson for a time of 11:18.50 in the relay.
In the women's 800, Erin Roberson crossed the line in fourth place with a time of 2:21.89. A little more than a second separated the second through fourth place finishers in the event.
Rounding out the top five performances for the Golden Eagles was a pair of pole vaulters, Lauren McFarland and Linhchi Lai. The defending Southland Indoor Champion in the same event, McFarland completed the Kansas meet with a mark of 3.65 meters for a fourth place finish.
Lai also finished at the 3.65-meter level, her collegiate best, to earn the fifth place finish in the pole vault.
Coach Joe Dial's teams will have just over a month before the Golden Eagles return to action when they make a return trip to Kansas on January 10 for the Bill Easton Classic.

The passengers were greeted by Waterloo Mayor Timothy Hurley. Hurley ordered snacks, pizza, pop and bottled water for the passengers as they waited for a rescue plane from Minneapolis, MN. Some passengers went to a local casino while others relaxed in the airport terminal.
After waiting over six hours the passengers continued their flight to Los Angles.

i am developing an iphone jailbreak application
in which i am trying to track iphone via its GPS facility .
so for this i made an unix executable file that simply gather GPS information and make an XML file based on GPS information and send this XML data
to my web server.
and to keep running this app all the time i also make an plist file that call unix executable file.
i know , this required that iphone should be jailbrocken so i made an cydia repository like this
+ MyGPSTest
+ usr
+ libexec
+ GPSTest
- TestGPS
- Info.plist
- control
+ System
+ Library
+ LaunchDaemons
- com.MyCompany.GPS.plist
and when i install my .deb file in iphone via ssh using
dpkg -i MyTest.deb
then all files are copied into there associated directory , but in
having mobile as owner and mobile as group
and when i restart my iphone then my plist file in LaunchDaemons did not work becouse my plist has mobile as owner and group .
and when i changed manually owner as root and group as wheel and after restart my plist works fine
so what should i do to solve my problem?

Attention to detail sets the tone for cost-effectiveness at the facility. A wall of unloading bays are where carts of soiled linen are offloaded from a fleet of tractor-trailers. Ryder Logistics handles all the transportation, with four tractors and nine leased trailers in the fleet. "It's working out very well, " says Mark Lindbloom, chief operating officer. "We don't have to deal with any of the issues involving the transport of our linen to the hotels, which can be quite intricate."
Ryder handles the procurement and maintenance of the tractors and trailers, the required licensing and permits, and all of the logistical details and challenges of transporting the linen. The drivers are all employed by Ryder, including the Logistics Manager who is on-site at the Meritex facility. The Logistics Manager is considered part of the management team at Meritex and is an active participant at our staff meetings and operations meetings. "It's an ideal situation," says Lindbloom. "We interface beautifully. Another benefit of working with Ryder is that if one of their trucks breaks down in the middle of the night, we don't have to worry about the delivery. Ryder shows up right away with another rig to ensure delivery.
From the unloading bays, the soiled linen is taken to a Dunnewolt soil sort area and sorted by type of article. Because Meritex operates as a central linen pool, the labor intensity required to sort by hotel is eliminated. Sheets, pillowcases, towels, washcloths, bath mats, restaurant tablecloths, napkins, etc., are sorted separately and loaded into slings that are transported to an overhead Dunnewolt computerized rail system. There are ten rail lines on the soil side, with a capacity of approximately 68,000 pounds of soiled linen, and the computer sends the slings to the proper rail line based upon linen classification. "The usual classification calls for eight lines of room linen and two rail lines for food and beverage linen," says Lindbloom. "We wash room linen and food and beverage linen separately, long runs of each according to demand, and the computer system knows exactly what's in each sling, on which rail, at all times."
As linen is called from the soiled storage rails, a sling is directed to one of three Lavatec 16-module continuous batch tunnel washers. The tunnels are configured with twelve 250 pound Lavatec dryers and the entire wash/dry system is computerized. Further, this computer is integrated with the Dunnewolt computer to result in a completely "hands-off" operation. "The computer even tells the conveyor receiving the cakes of clean linen coming out of the tunnels' membrane presses which dryer to go to according to which type of article it is," says Lindbloom, "and from there the separated clean linen is dropped into clean slings and stored on another closed-loop overhead rail system with storage capacity of approximately 40,000 pounds on the clean side."
One 450 lb. Lavatec washer extractor and one 400 lb. Lavatec dryer are used for reclaim and small items along with two 125 lb. Unimac washers and two 100 lb. Lavatec dryers. Being added to their finishing department is a new Jensen JenRoll EX10 3-roll 40 in. diameter flatwork ironer with a Jensen Variant 2000, 137 in. width, spreader-feeder and a Jensen Classic folder.
Computer monitors are ergonomically located in key positions around the plant for the benefit of supervisors and managers, as well as in Graham P. Ward's office, Meritex's general manager. "From my office," he says, "I have control of the entire system. I can enter a program that changes the parameters and monitor what's being washed, dried, or hanging. From this same system, we generate all of our reports, from poundage separated, to poundage washed, to poundage ready on the clean side ready for ironing. This state of the art equipment has made a high volume laundry operation such as ours manageable on a very cost-effective level."
Meritex not only sorts food and beverage linen by article, they also sort by the color of the article. The standard colors for the hotels they provide service for are white, sand, sea foam green and dusty rose. Slings are filled with all dusty rose table napkins, or sea foam green, for example, and are identified as such throughout the production program. After ironing and folding through the equipment, all food linen is wrapped in plastic and brought to a staging area for packing into carts.
The facility has 1,500 Orbitron linen delivery carts in circulation and each has an identification number imbedded in its side. As the carts are filled with clean linen, they are taken to scales that are regularly calibrated by the Bureau of Weights and Measures. As each cart is weighed, a ticket is generated that travels with the cart to the hotel. The ticket includes a bar code for easy scanning and lists the cart number, type of linen, weight of the linen, and hotel name. At the same time, a waybill is generated and also the paperwork for the weekly invoicing. Meritex's computerized system allows them to account for each pound of the 85,000 to 100,000 pounds of clean linen they ship each day, depending on hotel occupancies, reaching more than 30 million pounds a year.
This system also lets them track where each cart has gone, which is important since the cost of replacing linen delivery carts can be an expensive proposition. "Since we know which hotel each cart has gone to we can track down missing carts," says Lindbloom. "The hotel then assists us in locating linen delivery carts that may have inadvertently been sent to another facility filled with drapes or other dry-clean items which we do not process here."
When it comes to energy management, it seems as though Meritex has explored and instituted the best of all worlds for a laundry their size. One of the first things they did was retrofit their boilers to run on either gas or oil and put a 10,000 gallon oil storage tank on their property. This allows them to volunteer for "interruptible" gas service. During the winter, when residential gas customers in New Jersey create a demand greater than supply, Meritex can switch to oil for up to three days at a time and this qualifies them for substantial energy rebates.
Meritex has also installed a Thermal Engineering of Arizona unit (TEA) in their plant. A counterflow system in the Lavatec tunnels brings rinse water back to the wash modules and this hot water is eventually evacuated as waste water. The TEA runs the waste water next to the incoming city water, heating the 60 degree city water up to 90 degrees. This 90 degree fresh water next goes to a flue stack economizer which uses the heat of the boilers' exhaust gases to heat it further, up to as much as 150 degrees. All of this "recovered" heat amounts to a "substantial savings," according to Lindbloom. "We also have an energy consultant," says Lindbloom. "He uses the futures market to purchase gas for us at opportune times. He has in-depth experience dealing with gas and oil companies and recommends purchases according to supply and demand forecasts. Dealing with the volumes we have here, using a qualified consultant makes sense. Adding up all of our energy management measures, we're saving thousands of dollars every year."
Meritex employs 150 production line people, or "team members" and all are on an incentive program. "We find that a cash incentive goes a long way toward maintaining and even increasing productivity," says Ward. "We know the quantities that must be processed at each work station to keep us on schedule and we set the goals accordingly. For example, the sorting crew has a goal of eight thousand pounds an hour. For each hour they reach that goal, every member of that crew gets an additional dollar per hour. We pay fifteen to twenty thousand dollars in incentive bonuses every month and it's worth every cent in maintaining cost-effective productivity, to the benefit of our ten hotel customers."
Helping Meritex management keep a handle on all the plant's activities is a 16-camera surveillance system that digitally records all production areas and has motion-sensored cameras at all of the property exits 24 hours a day, seven days a week. All carts are tracked coming in and going out. Records are maintained to make sure equipment is being properly operated and serviced. Recorded Workman's Compensation issues can be questioned and reviewed. Violations of the "package pass" policy can be recorded. "And," says Lindbloom, "it gives the hotels a comfort zone in knowing that we are taking steps to ensure loss prevention."

The people who lived between the rivers Amazon and Plate, and their language were the guaraní. The Guarani language is an official language in Paraguay. It is also spoken in parts of Argentina, Bolivia, and Brazil. The Jesuit missionaries in Paraguay wrote Guarani dictionaries and grammars, hymns and catechisms. Guarani acquired a symbolic status in Paraguay during the Chaco War with Bolivia, 1932-35. Today many Paraguayans with hardly any indigenous blood speak Guarani better than Spanish.

Great Moments
The Box
Robert Jay Fish
From the Print Edition:
Michael Douglas, May/Jun 98
It was 1957. As was our annual habit, my grandparents, two uncles and their families and my family had been in Miami Beach, away from the chill and gray of Cleveland since mid-December. I vividly recall this particular Christmas vacation because it was the first time I became consciously aware of the three-day absence of my father, uncles and grandfather. My mother offhandedly informed me they had gone to a place called Cuba. I had never heard of it. I was 10 years old.
It was warm and breezy at Miami International Airport that day while we were waiting for the ground crew to wheel up the stairs to the plane that had just brought them back. It wasn't until we had arrived back at our hotel, the Sea Gull, somewhere around Twentieth Street and Collins Avenue, that my father ceremoniously removed the cigars from the box and handed it to me. I suppose the cigars went into that special case my father had; The Box became mine. It was a wooden box, about eight inches wide by eight inches long and about an inch and a half deep. The only markings on it were on the lid; some foreign words I couldn't translate and a triangle created by three pairs of sabres. Over the years, the valued and oftentimes secret objects that came to occupy
the box varied; the one thing that never changed was the aroma of the wood from which the box was made. Or perhaps it was the aroma of what had occupied the box before it had become mine. I can still recall it.
Flash ahead to 1981. I had decided to combine a little business with the pleasure of a honeymoon. My wife and I were with two French couples having dinner at an outdoor café called Café de Paris in Monte Carlo. I had just presented four seminars on cosmetic and reconstructive dentistry to French, Swiss and Italian dentists. (The miracle of simultaneous translators made it all possible.) Surrounded by the magic of Monaco, I looked back with gratitude and appreciation upon my professional education that had afforded me the opportunity to be where I was.
The abhorrent odor of cigarette smoke abruptly brought me back from my reverie; the four of them, our hosts, were each smoking a cigarette with one hand while the other hand was occupied transporting forkfuls of food from their plates to their mouths. Both my wife and I avoided cigarettes and cigarette smokers with vigor; but in Europe, even more so than in the States, it appeared as though everyone smoked and did so without interruption. The two men, like myself, were dentists.
I seriously inquired of each of them whether or not they had ever studied any scientific literature regarding the perils of cigarette smoking. They admitted so, yet continued to smoke cigarettes. As diplomatically as I could, I attempted to further enlighten them, but to no avail. For professional reasons, I read, reviewed and kept current on the numerous medical and dental studies regarding the effects of tobacco, both the kind you smoke and the kind you chew. Every one of my dental patients who smoked was provided with the results of these studies and every attempt was made to offer any assistance at my disposal to help them kick the habit. Oral cancer, lung cancer and hardening of the arteries are all directly linked to cigarette smoking and tobacco chewing. These two dentists and their wives acknowledged my efforts with sincere interest between puffs. I knew when enough was enough and got off my soapbox.
The evening continued with a friendly, lengthy and in-depth discussion of the differences in dentistry between Europe and the United States. When they asked me if I would be willing to return the next year to provide updated seminars, I enthusiastically agreed on the spot.
Back home I became more interested in the smoking habits of Europeans and sought out any scientific articles that compared the smoking habits in Europe with those of the United States. Of course, at that time there was an effort to get Americans to quit smoking. There was evidence of some 40 or more known toxic substances that are exuded into the air by a lighted cigarette; poisons such as arsenic, mercury and sulfuric acid. The details concluded that the paper, filter and chemical binder were infinitely more toxic than the tobacco itself. The conclusions of all the studies were similar: one was more apt to live a longer and healthier life if one did not smoke cigarettes.
As I had continued to correspond with my two new dental colleagues in France, I made it a point to send them such studies. One letter arrived on my desk in the spring from one of those dentists inquiring if there were any scientific studies regarding, exclusively, the smoking of cigars. My interest was piqued anew. I made a diligent search but could only find studies that mentioned cigar smoking along with cigarette smoking--not one studied the effects of cigar smoking only. I learned cigar smokers were only occasionally included in tobacco usage studies; however, cigarette smokers were almost always included and made up the bulk of the subjects.
One year later, we were back in the French Riviera, once again dining outdoors at the Café de Paris with my two French dental colleagues and their wives. I was quite surprised to observe that during the entire dinner not one of the four smoked a cigarette. The look of wonder on my face must have been evident. They explained: the articles and studies I had sent them provided a much-needed awakening. Although they still smoked cigarettes, they did so much less frequently and certainly not while dining. However, they said, cigars had now become their passion. It wasn't until after dinner that anyone lit cigarettes. And then it was only the two French women.

Wine Report: Good wine is actually better
I'm of the opinion that there's no bad wine anymore. Modern winemaking and viticulture have killed off the rotgut of yesteryear, vanquished the swill of the past, and sent the skunky stuff packing.
However, that doesn't mean that there isn't some wine that's better than other wine.
Of late, I've been drinking a lot of el cheapo wine. But not too long ago, I discovered that the Whole Foods near KPCC's Mohn Broadcast Center in Pasadena carries wines imported by Kermit Lynch. As I've already blogged here at DeWine Report (heh heh), I'm a fan.
I was even more delighted to discover that Lynch is now selling his own self-branded blends. I picked up a bottle of the Côtes du Rhône ($14).
Lynch has always had something of a preferred style for reds, particularly where Rhônes are concerned: bold, lusty, rustic, expressive of place but not stingy when it comes to powerful fruit-driven flavors, and with a healthy, immensely satisfying blast of spice and oak on the finish.
Wine Report: When the front of the label matters less than the back
The wine store. The wine section at the grocery store. The wine retail website. Terrifying experiences for many. Sweat. Shakes. Nervousness. So many labels. So many labels. So many labels...
There's an easy way to avoid this anxiety, so common among even more experienced wine drinkers. Forget the front of the bottle. Concentrate on the back.
The back label is where, often, the wine importer's logo can be found. Now, I'm talking about wines from Europe, primarily, here. If all you ever drink is California wine, you don't need this advice.
At right is the famous logo of Kermit Lynch, an importer who owns a wine store in Berkeley, CA and who is highly regarded for seeking out rewarding, delicious French wines that don't cost an arm and leg. I've been a fan since I lived in Brooklyn and had access to the Lynch portfolio through my local wine shop. (Lynch also wrote one of the great wine books, "Adventures on the Wine Route," in which he recounts his experiences finding unusual wines and passionate winemakers in France.)
Wine Report: Whole Foods sells a better Two-Buck Chuck
UPDATE: A commenter has me thinking that Three Wishes may be produced by...the same people who make the Chuck (The Bronco Wine Company)! A bit of an interesting "conspiracy" in the ultra-cheap wine world? It would create an interesting wrinkle in Whole Foods' "chuck the Chuck" argument. I'll see what I can learn...
A little more than a month ago, Whole Foods rolled out an alternative to Trader Joe's "Two Buck Chuck," the lineup of $1.99 Charles Shaw wines that have been wildly successful for the retailer. Whole Foods isn't kidding around: "chuck the Chuck" is its sales pitch.
I've always believed that Two-Buck Chuck is among the most imporant wines every introduced. The wines aren't very good. But they have made it possible for people to load up on wine and drink it more frequently. Brilliant. Plus, the brand has become an institution and eliminated much of an anxiety that wine seems to induce. It comes in a premium-type wine bottle and it has a cork. It's not a jug wine. It's not a box wine. It's not rotgut.

5 Essential Products for Youthful Skin5 Essential Products for Youthful SkinNatural beauty begins on the insideThe average woman spends hundreds of dollars in the quest for miracle skin care products that will maximize the beauty which is rightfully hers. Of course, natural beauty begins on the inside, with plenty of sleep, water, and nutrients from a whole foods diet. But, fortunately, adding a simplified beauty routine featuring natural products will result in truly beautiful skin, without irritating synthetic chemicals. Let's take a look at these essential products and why they work.
1. Cleanser
It is important to cleanse your face twice daily, once in the morning and once at night before retiring. Your skin is an excretory organ and by cleansing you not only remove dirt, bacteria, and excess oil, you also remove the cellular toxins that your skin has eliminated. This enhances your skin's ability to absorb your other topical products.
- If you have dry skin: Look for a cream or oil based cleanser that does the job without further stripping your skin of natural oils.
- If you have oily skin: Look for a gel- or foam- based cleanser that helps soak up excess oil.
2. Serum
These are the workhorses of your beauty routine! Serums are highly concentrated, lightweight, and fast-absorbing formulations containing certain actives like CoQ10, vitamin C and E, green tea, DMAE (dimethylethanolamine), and alpha lipoic acid. By targeting your special areas of concern with an appropriate serum, you activate your body's own self-healing process to restore balance.
- Choose a firming, wrinkle-reducing serum, if you are looking for an anti-aging effect.
- Choose a skin-brightening serum if, darkened patches of skin (hyperpigmentation) are a concern for you.
3. Day Moisturizer
Apply this moisturizer after you cleanse your face in the morning and over your serum. This will seal in your serum and protect your skin from the elements. Try to find a moisturizer that contains sun protection for a beauty routine simplifier!
4. Night Moisturizer
Apply your night moisturizer after you cleanse your skin at night and over any serum you have applied. This moisturizer should be free of sunscreen protection and can be a heavier and more rejuvenating formulation. Your skin repairs itself at night. By providing the right moisturizer the skin lipid barrier is repaired, which means that you minimize water loss through your skin and thereby avoid dry, irritated skin that shows more lines.
Generally younger skin is oilier, and care must be taken to not choose a heavier moisturizer than is necessary. Too-heavy moisturizer clogs pores and makes skin look too shiny with oils that did not fully penetrate.
5. Treatment Mask
The treatment mask focuses attention on a specific target area, typically on a once- or twice-a- week basis. Masks come in a variety of forms and can be made from many different natural materials.
- Use a mask made from clay for a detoxifying and acne-clearing effect that leaves your skin clean and glowing.
- If you are after a moisture surge, some masks contain hyaluronic acid, honey or other moisturizing ingredients to sink into your skin.
- For a radiance boost to dull skin, try an exfoliating mask made from fruit acids.
The regular use of these five natural beauty products, in conjunction with a healthy diet, plenty of water and sleep, are a dynamic combination that can rejuvenate your skin and permit your inner beauty to radiate.Dr. Anne Marie Fine is a practicing naturopathic physician, award-winning researcher, author, speaker, and a popular lecturer all over the country.

Large Cadillac sedans have developed a reputation over the years for putting comfort above all else. Though they floated and glided along the road like a cloud, they were also quite bland to drive and behind the times in terms of design. With the Cadillac XTS, however, that reputation has been put to rest. The XTS is sharper and more responsive to drive, yet it still maintains plenty of amenities and seating comfort.
Built on the same platform as the current Buick LaCrosse, the Cadillac XTS is powered by a detuned version of the V6 sourced from the current CTS. The XTS doesn't feel asleep or lethargic from behind the wheel, giving it the sensation that it is much smaller than its 17-foot-long and 6-foot-wide dimensions would seem to indicate. Overall, we like how the XTS separates itself from those lethargic Cadillac behemoths of the past. It's a savvy choice for a modern American large luxury sedan.
Current Cadillac XTS Specs
The Cadillac XTS is a new model for 2013 that is available in four trim packages: Base, Luxury, Premium and Platinum. All trim levels are equipped with the same 3.6-liter V6 engine that produces 304 horsepower and 264 pound-feet of torque. The engine is paired with front-wheel drive in the Base model, while all-wheel drive is an available option in other trim levels.
The all-wheel-drive system is said to be intended only to improve all-weather capability, and Edmunds tests have found this to be the case. The AWD XTS doesn't show any handling advantages over its front-wheel-drive counterpart. More power would be a welcome change, but the sensation of driving this Cadillac has been updated to convey a more controlled and precise nature.
The Base XTS comes with a host of standard equipment including the Cadillac User Experience (CUE) infotainment system, Bluetooth, an eight-speaker Bose sound system, 10-way power front seats, a power tilt-and-telescoping steering wheel and leather/faux-suede upholstery. Upgrading to the Luxury Collection adds a few extra features, including heated rear seats, parking sensors and a rearview camera. The Premium Collection adds extra safety features such as blind spot and lane-departure warning. At the XTS's highest trim level, Platinum, you get 20-inch wheels, some changes to interior and exterior styling and the Driver Assist package, which adds low-speed automatic braking and adaptive cruise control.
Although it can be slightly distracting and unresponsive at times, CUE (available across all Cadillac models) has the potential to be a very good system. While all of this technology may feel like a welcome luxury for most buyers, someone accustomed to Cadillacs of yesteryear will have a slight adjustment to make.
You won't have to make any adjustments in terms of being comfortable. Inside, the XTS is expansive and, no matter who you've got as a passenger, there will be plenty of headroom to spare. Legroom and interior space are ample in the XTS and the trunk has an impressive 18 cubic feet of capacity.
In our tests, the XTS accelerated from zero to 60 mph in 7.3 seconds. Although it isn't a slouch, it definitely isn't as quick as most other similarly priced luxury cars. The XTS doesn't feel big and lumbering from behind the steering wheel, and our editors found it quiet and firm on the highway.
The XTS is large, but not vast and it doesn't wallow under its mass. The car is plush, but not soft and boring. While there are several upsides to this new Cadillac, one of the biggest benefits is the value it provides for its cost. The Cadillac XTS will afford you with refinement and relaxation without a hefty price tag, and for that alone it's worth your time.
Used Cadillac XTS Models
The XTS is all-new, but from a used-car standpoint it effectively took the place of the now-discontinued DTS and STS sedans in Cadillac's lineup.

Social Finance explores the evolving microinsurance industry with the potential to reach 3 billion people
May 24, 2011
J.P. Morgan's Social Finance team hosted a recent Voices of Progress speaker series event in New York. Panelists explored how the evolving microinsurance industry holds the potential to reach three billion people and develop long-term sustainability.
More than one billion persons, mostly in the developing world, are willing to pay for life and health insurance, but are unable to do so because they cannot afford traditional insurance products. Microinsurance, a relatively new product, offers new opportunities to satisfy this unmet demand by providing the working poor of the developing world access to affordable insurance.
Moderated by Christina Leijonhufvud, Head of J.P. Morgan Social Finance, the panelists focused on the opportunities and challenges of providing insurance and support to the world's poor and vulnerable. John Buley, a managing director in J.P. Morgan's Social Finance group, Hallie Harenski, vice president at Zurich Financial Services and Dr. Andrew Kuper, president and founder of Leapfrog Investments joined Christina as the three panelists for the event.
This Voices of Progress event brought further awareness to the evolving microinsurance industry, and the potential impact it could have upon the currently untapped market.

Main :: DT50/DT25
by radatats on 2013-03-04 08:17:29
Ok, maybe it is me, it probably is. However, I can't use my amp if the Master is turned above 2, 3 MAX! I am talking ear crushing loud. I must have something set wrong because surely it isn't supposed to be that loud. Hell, I can't go over 6-7 in LVM! I have a Flextone II that isn't as friggin loud!
Here is my rig:
Guitar > HD500 > DT25HD > 2X12 cab. I am using the L6 link with global input settings > Guitar, same, 1M. Cab has 2 Vintage Celestion Green 8ohm speakers indepentently wired with individual input jacks. Each speaker is connected to one of the 4ohm jacks (8ohm pair, 4 ohm single).
I created a set list with just preamps, no FX or cabs, average channel volume at 40, and still, can't push Master above 3 without ear damage! And it sounds a little harsh too. Very hard to get that warm syrupy tone.
I downloaded a ton of presets from Customn Tone too and it is the same thing or worse.
I did the full flash routine and reset the global and did the pedal calibration too. Pedal will not calibrate to 0-255, only goes 17,18-255. Is that an issue too? Other symptoms, I can't get the toe switch to activate either. So Wah is unusable...
When I play through the HD500 to headphones it is no problem. The signal levels are reasonable and don't blow my ears out.
So, I am sure I have something set wrong. I appreciate anyone's help here and will try anything and everything. I have read plenty of posts where guys are complaining the DT25 isn't loud enough so something is wrong here...
by TheRealZap on 2013-03-04 08:40:00
they are usually pretty loud... but just for the sake of eliminating possibilities, have you updated everything?
by radatats on 2013-03-04 08:53:35
yep, everything updated... I got this to be able to have the tube driven power section goodness but I don't know if I have something setup wrong or if the preamp signal is so hot, the master can't be used. I wouldn't think I need to have the channel volume set to 10-20 just to have some master control.
Where do you guys have your master set? channel vol?
by TheRealZap on 2013-03-04 09:19:06
the settings vary greatly by what amp model i'm using...
but let me ask you this, are you using the pre models in the HD500?
by geppert on 2013-03-04 09:19:38
Couple questions ....
1) Do you have the loudness problem just using the amp alone (no POD)?
2) What NFL are you generally using? The NFL IV is loud for sure.
I have a HD500 + DT25 Head/Cab (using L6 Link) but not the problems you describe.
There are many good and knowlegable people on here so maybe we can help you out.
by innovine on 2013-03-05 00:17:29
Maybe it's just loud? Have you ever played alongside a drummer in a small room?!
On the higher gain topologies with the channel volume turned up a good way, I can barely bring the Master up at all before it's too loud for my apartment.
by tormod1 on 2013-03-05 05:28:33
I have the same "problem", but I reckon that the amp just is THAT loud..?
by spaceatl on 2013-03-05 06:44:00
You could have a couple of things in play here...I am assuming you have the newer Greenbacks...those are fairly efficient speakers (SPL=98db). At 1 watt at 1 meter you speakers will hit 98db of sound pressure...You are also running at 4 ohms. More power to the cones vs. two 16 ohm speakers using the 8 ohm taps...When I run my DT25 head with the band, I find the head to have just enough power running the way you are (4 ohm load into 212 cab...My speakers are rated at 100 db SPL)...When I am at home I use the DT25 cab loaded with a single 16 ohm speaker. That attenuates the output down a bit. You might be a bit happier with 16 ohm speakers in your cab...That approach loosens the master a little...If you go for lower SPL speakers, that will loosen it even more...Every -3db you go down in SPL is like cutting the power in half...works the other way too....every +3db is like doubling the power...It's the efficiency rating and it's pretty important when finding the speaker that will suit the amp to you...
by radatats on 2013-03-05 16:58:30
I did a complete reflash of the head and the HD500 last night and it is a little better so it may also be that I screwed around with the settings using the DTEdit software. Not sure. Anyways, I understand what you are saying about the speakers and the load. I am going to rewire my cab this weekend to make the 2 8ohm speakers in series giving me a 16ohm load and just run from the C jack and see if that makes any difference. The speakers are at least 7 yrs old and not run hard either. I have a second matching cab that has Patriot Guvners as well. I am going to do an A/B this weekend with that one too. If the rewiring works wellI will do both cabs and then I can always stack them for a 4X12 if needed run from the B jacks.
Except for the speakers both cabs are sealed and identical in specs but the Patriot cab is also front ported. I am also thinking about making a spare set of backs for one cab to turn it into an open back cab and see how that sounds compared to the sealed box. Like you said, its all about how it sounds to me. Not too thrilled with the idea of forking out for another set of speakers at this time so I will have to play with what I have for now.
The one thing I want to be sure I am doing is allowing the power section to breathe. In other words, I don't want to be sending such a hot signal out of the digital preamp that the analog section is barely able to turn on before it gets too loud for me to enjoy. I am going to have to do a lot of playing around with the HDEdit to see what I can come up with.
I appreciate all the inputs here. Unfortunately I am not gigging with anyone now so I haven't had the chance to run with other live players. From what I have seen/heard so far it doesn't seem like I would have any problems going live as far as tone or volume goes...
by Stueyd on 2013-03-06 03:00:55
My experience is that these are LOUD amps, but it does depend what topology you're using, ie: a topology 1 Fender is a lot quieter than a topology 3 AC30 with the gain cranked up.
Also i've found the speaker very directional, so if you're stood directly in front of it, it seems a LOT louder than a couple of feet either side.
What i've done to get around this is to fit a Dr Z Airbrake Lite Attenuator so I can drop the volume and fit a "beam blocker" in front of the speaker to disperse the sound.
It's really worked for me!
See this thread http://uk.line6.com/support/thread/90632
by radatats on 2013-03-09 09:07:45
OK so after much experimentation and reading tons of posts, youtubes, the manuals etc... I finally solved the problem. I think my analysis was right because in the end what I did was just set the Guitar Input switch on top of the HD500 to PAD and set the global Guitar 2 input to Variax. That lowered the signal going to the DT to a manageable level and now I can use the Master to control volume on the DT25.
Before doing this, the signal was so hot that the Master could not be set higher than maybe 2 or 3 (8 or 9 oclock). As soon as the Master engaged, the volume was already near stage level. It was almost unusable for home play. Now I can listen COMFORTABLY with the Master at 2-3 and still have stage level with the Master turned up. It is a world of difference. Many of the patches I have made and downloaded sound better now because they are not overpowering the amp. It sounds amazing at 12 oclock... (with ear plugs!)
The one thing I am still working on is the first FX block in the chain. According to all my research, with my inputs set this way my guitar signal is only coming in on the A path so I have to use a mono block first to send the signal to both paths if I want to use any stereo blocks or dual amps later in the chain. However, by doing it this way I get a 6db reduction in signal strength at the first block when it sums the two inputs. Combined with the 10db(?) reduction by using the PAD setting, my signal is now low enough to pass to the DT without overpowering it.
For now, I am placing a noise gate set at 50/50 as the first FX. A lot of the patches I downloaded already have it set that way and it works good. Other than making sure your signal is routed correctly from the first FX block, you don't need to change anything else on any of your patches.
Other changes made, added my own "beam blockers" to both speakers (2x12), and rewired cab to 16 ohms. Rewiring had NO effect. Beam blockers do seem to have reduced the harsh ice pick effect but I don't see any other big change in tone or volume.
Bottom line, if you are feeding a DT25/50 with a POD HD500, set the Guitar input switch to PAD, Guitar 1 input to guitar and Guitar 2 input to Variax (Global).
I guarantee you will like the difference. If you need more volume on stage at any time, turn the Master down first and set the Guitar input switch back to Normal.
The information above may not be current, and you should direct questions to the current forum or review the manual.

The clinical trial must have a meaningful potential to benefit the insured. The trial's endpoints shall not be defined primarily to test toxicity, but shall have a therapeutic intent. To be covered, the clinical trial must either involve a drug that is exempt under federal regulations from a new drug application or must be a trial that is approved by
- A cooperative group or one of the National Institutes of Health;
- U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), in the form of an investigational new drug application;
- U.S. Department of Defense;
- U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs; or
- National Cancer Institute.
Who is required to pay?
Health insurers, health maintenance organizations, and self-insured governmental employers who have signed the agreement, voluntarily agreeing to provide this coverage. These providers include BlueCross BlueShield South Carolina, BlueChoice Health Plan, Carolina Care Plan, and UnitedHealthcare of the Carolinas.
Other key provisions
- Coverage applies only to trials for which any healthcare providers submitting a claim for payment of services provided as part of the trial have also executed the agreement. Such execution by providers may occur after the original execution of the agreement by the health plans but is required prior to coverage being extended to that trial. The Hollings Cancer Center at the Medical University of South Carolina has executed the agreement as of the effective date (July 1, 2010).
- "Routine patient care costs" are defined as those costs associated with the provision of health care services, including drugs, items, devices, and services that would otherwise be covered under the plan or contract if those drugs, items, devices, and services were not provided in connection with an approved cancer clinical trial program. These includes health care services required
- Solely for the provision of the investigational drug, item, device or service;
- For clinically appropriate monitoring of the investigational item or service; or
- For "reasonable and necessary care arising from the provision of the investigational drug, item, device, or service, including the diagnosis or treatment of complications."
- "Routine patient care costs" excludes the costs of
- Drugs or devices not approved by the FDA for use associated with the cancer clinical trial;
- Claims for patients participating in clinical trials that fail to identify all extra services that are not standard medical care;
- Nonclinical expenses, such as travel, housing, and companion expenses;
- Items or services provided solely for data collection and analysis purposes and not used in the patient's clinical management;
- Health care services that would otherwise be specifically excluded from coverage under the patient's health plan;
- Health care services customarily provided free of charge to trial enrollees by the trial sponsors; and
- The cost of an oncologic drug, if the trial's purpose is to study the use of the drug in the particular cancer in question or to study the administration of the drug in a new manner.
- Coverage of patient care costs such as additional tests that may or may not be fully covered by the trial sponsor or research institution and other reimbursement issues must be resolved by the trial sponsor and the patient's health plan.
- When health care services are provided by a contracting healthcare provider, the payment rate shall be at the agreed-upon rate less applicable insured cost-sharing (e.g., copayments, coinsurance, and/or deductibles). In the case of a non-contracting provider, the payment shall be at the negotiated rate or what the insurer would otherwise pay to a non-participating provider for the same covered services, less applicable out-of-network cost-sharing.
- The agreement does not prohibit, limit, or modify an insured's rights to any available internal and external review process under South Carolina law (Chapter 71 of Title 38 of the Official Code of South Carolina Annotated, The Health Carrier External Review Act).
- Insurers are not liable for services provided under the terms of this agreement.
