ISLAMABAD: Chief Justice of Pakistan Justice Saqib Nisar remarked on Tuesday that Pakistan's honour is supreme and everything else is secondary.
He made the remarks as the Supreme Court heard its suo motu on the Axact fake degrees case.
The chief justice had taken suo motu notice of the scandal on January 19.
During today's hearing, the counsel for the Pakistan Broadcasters Association informed the court that the company's capital is Rs7 million whereas its salaries' head is Rs8 billion.
The chief justice remarked that the existence of accounts with billions of rupees will have to be traced, adding that the Federal Board of Revenue can be tasked to do an audit so the facts can surface. The case is bringing Pakistan into disrepute, he observed further.
During the hearing, Axact's counsel informed the court that statements of 18 witnesses have been recorded in the case under way in Karachi.
The PBA counsel claimed that the company is using money earned illegally, adding that the entire media industry is at stake.
Moreover, during the hearing, the chief justice dismissed PBA's plea to become a party in the case.

Today's wedding planner interview is with Taryn and Keith of Last Minute Wed, Philadelphia, New York!
Tell us a bit about yourself and your company.
Hi there! Our names are Taryn and Keith Collins and we're the owners of Last Minute Wed. We've been in the wedding planning industry since 2007 and recently opened Last Minute Wed to offer couples discounts on wedding vendors in every category.
Read the full post after the cut!
How did you get into wedding planning?
We are both from a theater background, with Taryn doing a lot of directing. As she was directing, she was also working for a wedding photography company. The two combined seamlessly into wedding planning and we haven't looked back!

What's your favorite part of the job?
Spreading sunshine! We know how stressful wedding planning can be, so we created our planning company with the simple goal in mind to remove that stress from the planning process. The biggest stresser, of course, is always money, which is a big reason that we created Last Minute Wed.
What's the biggest lesson you've learned, and would pass along to other new wedding planners just getting started?
Build relationships with vendors, both business relationships and friendships. It's so wonderful to work with vendors that you know do amazing work and who are fun to be around! Plus, the referrals alone on both sides make it worth it.

What are your hobbies or non-work-related activities?
We have two cats and a dog so they're a big hobby! We love to spend time at Disney, and to relax at night by playing Mario Kart.
Any great stories from working with a client?
Our own wedding is our favorite "wedding story". We got married in Cancun, and it was a beautiful morning. About thirty minutes before ceremony, as all of our guests were heading to the ceremony space, there was a single drop of rain and then a DOWNPOUR. Everyone was completely soaking wet (except Taryn, who was waiting in a room to leave). The hotel gave her a poncho, and her dad had a towel over his head as they walked to ceremony (instead of a horse carriage ride). The second they entered, they threw off the poncho and towel in unison and the whole room went WILD. For reception, all of our guests took off their shoes and we danced through the night. It was perfectly imperfect.

What is your current favorite color combination?
We're on a deep red, orange, yellow, and teal kick right now, but that's simply because we're working with a lot of fall weddings! We'll always love pastels
Are there any trends that you absolutely love or would love to see brides leave behind?
We're in love with the "film" wedding style of photography. If we could have every couple shoot with it, we would!
What tips or advice can you give to couples who are in the midst of planning?
Check out Last Minute Wed to save money on your vendors! Otherwise, our biggest advice is always this: Keep in mind that at the end of the day, you'll be married to your best friend. That's all that matters. If everything goes wrong, smile and make the best of it!
Thanks Taryn and Keith! For more information about Last Minute Wed, please visit their WeddingLovely Vendor Guide or head straight to their website.

It's Spring! Don't you love the way your neighborhood looks in the springtime with all the green grass and flowers? Guess what else is springing up all over town? WEEDS of course! You can almost watch them grow. Valley Pride would like to remind everyone to take a moment each day to pull a weed from your front yard. If you enter a business and notice they have weeds popping up outside, let the owner know you noticed…maybe he enters through a side door and hasn't seen them. It's our valley, let's show everyone we have pride in where we live!

These shots were taken on an World Challenge expedition to Thailand and Laos in 2010. From Bangkok we travelled north to Vientiane by Train and from there to Luang Prabang via Vang Vieng. We hiked and did some community development/volunteer work around Luang Prabang before travelling up the Mekong River and into Chiang Rai. We hiked with the Hill Tribes around Chiang Rai before continuing on to Chiang Mai and finally returning to BKK after a few gorgeous days in Krabi/Railay/Tonsai.

I grew up fishing the Texas coast therefore
saltwater bowfishing is my specialty. I also guide trips on the Guadalupe River, Lavaca River and Colorado River for Trophy Gar. Very few people realize that the alligator gar are not only found in Texas lakes and rivers but also along the Texas Coast. Everyone concentrates on the alligator gars, but don't forget all the other species that provide awesome shooting fun. Southern and Cow nose Stingrays are pound for pound one of the most exciting fish to shoot. I will travel to wherever it takes to get you the fish you want. I am set up to handle the beginner bow fisherman to the experienced. Bowfishing with me provides a fun and affordable adventure that you will never forget.
I have been duck hunting the Port O'Connor area for over ten years. The Texas coast is blessed with one of the largest winter concentration of ducks in the United States. Red Head, Pintail, are the most prolific but Widgeon, Gadwall, Teal and many other ducks are common. I prefer to hunt sitting in the grass marshes but I do have several blinds to hunt from if needed. I am continuously scouting for the best places to hunt. I specialize in small parties and personal hunts. Youth hunts and family hunts are welcomed. I can also handle cooperate hunts with multiple boats. Come hunt and fish with me for your next Adventure.

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration is joining the North Carolina Board of Pharmacy (NC BOP) to urge health care professionals, including veterinarians, and patients not to use products made and distributed by the Prescription Center pharmacy, located at 915 Hay St., Fayetteville, North Carolina.
In an inspection conducted in March by the NC BOP, state inspectors observed significant deficiencies that raise concerns about the company's ability to assure the sterility, stability and potency of the sterile and non-sterile human and veterinary drug products that it produced. The Prescription Center has been closed by order of the NC BOP, and the NC BOP has ordered a recall of all lots of sterile and non-sterile products compounded or repackaged and distributed by the Prescription Center between Sept. 10, 2014, and March 10, 2015.
Drug products made by the Prescription Center have been distributed nationwide and to Canada. Although the FDA is not aware of any adverse events associated with these products, due to concerns about a lack of sterility assurance and other conditions at the facility, and out of an abundance of caution, the FDA and the NC BOP are advising against their use. Health care professionals should check their medical supplies, quarantine any drug products from the Prescription Center and should not administer them to either human or animal patients.
Adverse reactions or quality problems experienced with the use of these products may be reported to the FDA's MedWatch Adverse Event Reporting program:
For reports of adverse events in humans:
- Complete and submit the report online at www.fda.gov/medwatch/report.htm; or download and complete the form, then submit it via fax at 1-800-FDA-0178.
For reports of adverse events in animals:
- Submit FORM FDA 1932a (download PDF), which is a pre-addressed, prepaid postage form that can be completed or dropped in the mail; or
- call the Center for Veterinary Medicine: 1-888-FDA-VETS. Leave your name, address, phone number, and the brand name of the drug involved. Ask to have a Form FDA 1932a sent to you.
Health care professionals and consumers may also report adverse events to the NC BOP:
- Online at firstname.lastname@example.com
- Via fax at 919-246-1056
The FDA will continue to work closely with the NC BOP to protect the public health.

No longer is state ownership the unpalatable solution for wayward individuals like Northern Rock and Bradford & Bingley, but a logical fix for the whole industry.
The true picture of last week's £500 billion bail-out is now emerging. The Government is prepared to take majority ownership of the country's four largest lenders – Barclays, HBOS, Lloyds TSB, and Royal Bank of Scotland – if necessary.
The banks' biggest investors would normally be expected to stump up the cash but, after the stock market rout of the past week, they are – unsurprisingly – reluctant to throw good money after bad. A small stake in a largely state-owned institution, that has a greater eye on taxpayer interest than the profit motive, would also be a large deterrent.
For the Government, though, it is imperative to move now. The money markets, which Credit Suisse notes have "supported about 40 per cent of all growth in customer loans" in the past eight years, are shut. If they don't open up, "we are guaranteed a 1930s-style depression", according to Mark Thomas, an analyst at Keefe, Bruyette & Woods. In other words, years of credit rationing loom.
Despite the rave reviews it received, the Government's ambitious £500 billion rescue plan for the industry is simply not working. The money markets tightened up even more on Thursday and Friday after it was unveiled. To give the plan life, policy makers are now acutely aware they need to administer the most awful medicine.
Banks will have to take billions of pounds more in writedowns on their "toxic", sub-prime related debts. Each provision erodes capital, the financial cushion on banks' books with which to absorb losses incurred by bad debts. Only when the lenders have restored and rebuilt that capital with huge new cash injections do the markets stand a chance of recovering their belief that these institutions will not go bust.
As one institutional investor explained: "Banks that doesn't think they need massive amounts of help are morons. It's a bit like standing in front of a tidal wave and saying I'm OK because I've got my swimming trunks on."
He added: "There is liquidity out there - it's just in the wrong place." Without confidence in the lending institutions, though, the liquidity will stay in the wrong place and markets will remain seized shut to Britain's banks.
Under the bail-out as proposed on Wednesday, the £25 billion recapitalisation would have been achieved largely through the issue of preference shares, a kind of debt that offers taxpayers' better protection than straight equity.
Since then, it has become abundantly clear that the banks need principle equity – in other words cash for part-ownership – to meet regulatory demands and to restore desperately-needed confidence. Preference shares simply won't cut it any longer. As a result, the taxpayer may face the prospect of becoming a majority owner in the banks if the existing shareholders stay away.
For Gordon Brown, turning the UK solution into a global bail-out is vital. The money markets are now international, so lack of faith in other institutions will continue to cause problems. But, looking provincially, Britain's problems are more acute than others.
The combined assets of Britain's banks are five times the size of UK gross domestic product. Only Iceland, Ireland, Malta and Cyprus have a higher ratio in Europe, according to investment bank UBS. Our economy is more geared to the success of our banks than most of the rest.
Moreover, some £550 billion of our customer loans are funded through the money markets, according to Credit Suisse. Fixing the situation is more critical than any ideology now. Part-nationalisation, if it recapitalises the banks, is the practical way of restoring depleted confidence. If that does not work, full nationalisation is the only route left.

Purpose Ultraviolet A1 (UVA1) phototherapy utilizes UV radiation in the spectrum of 340 to 400 nm for therapy of a variety of skin conditions. However, UVA1 treatment dose and frequency protocols vary between institutions and disease states. The primary objective was to describe treatment protocols and efficacy for patients with various skin diseases treated at three academic medical centers. The secondary objective was to describe the most effective treatment regimens for the most commonly treated diseases.
Methods Data from 163 patients treated with low-(20 J/cm2), medium-(50 J/cm2), and high-(70-110 J/cm2) dose UVA1 phototherapy during a 6 year period was retrospectively analyzed. The mean single dose (J/cm2), number of irradiations, and total dose (J/cm2) was evaluated. Effectiveness was assessed by reviewing clinical examination notes from office visits. Statistical analysis was performed for patients with morphea (n=80), scleroderma (n=17), graft-versus-host-disease (n=25), and nephrogenic systemic fibrosis (n=15).
Results A statistically significant improvement with high dose regimen of UVA1, compared to medium- or low-dose, was seen in patients with scleroderma, graft-versus-host-disease, and nephrogenic systemic fibrosis. In morphea, both medium-dose and high-dose UVA1 treatment showed excellent efficacy. Treatment frequency was typically two to three times weekly, for a series of 30 treatments. Side effects included tanning. One patient developed erosions in the area of treatment, resulting in discontinuation of UVA1. For some of the diseases, our results are limited by a small sample size due to the rarity of the conditions. This is a retrospective study, and a subjective grading system was used to measure disease improvement.
Conclusions This study confirmed that UVA1 phototherapy is effective and safe in the treatment of morphea, graft-versus-host-disease, nephrogenic systemic fibrosis, and scleroderma. Medium-dose and high-dose regimens are more effective than a low-dose regimen for each of these conditions.

Purpose Narrowband ultraviolet B (NB-UVB) therapy is widely used for treatment of vitiligo. Afamelanotide, an analogue of α-melanocyte stimulating hormone, is known to induce tanning of the skin. This study was designed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of afamelanotide and NB-UVB combination in generalized vitiligo.
Methods Patients who had vitiligo for less than 5 years, with 15-50% body surface involvement, were randomized at three centers. After one month of NB-UVB, afamelanotide 16mg was administered subcutaneously to the combination group monthly for 4 months while continuing NB-UVB; the other group continued with NB-UVB only. Response was evaluated by Vitiligo Area Scoring Index (VASI) and Vitiligo European Task Force (VETF) scoring system.
Results Twenty-eight patients were enrolled in the combination group, and 27 in the NB-UVB group. Response in the combination group was superior to NB-UVB group (P<0.05), at day 56. For face and upper extremities, significantly higher percentage of patients in the combination group achieved repigmentation, and at earlier time points (face: 41.0 days, vs. 61.0 days, P = 0.001; upper extremities: 46.0 days, vs. 69.0 days, P=0.003). Notable adverse events were erythema in both groups, and minor infections and nausea in the combination group.
Comparison between Fitzpatrick skin phototypes (SPTs) showed IV-VI patients in combination group had improvement in the VASI at days 56 and 84 (p<0.05); no significant difference noted in SPT III.
Conclusions Afamelanotide and NB-UVB treatment resulted in clinically apparent, statistically significant superior and more rapid repigmentation, compared to NB-UVB monotherapy. The response was more noticeable in those with SPT IV-VI.

Background/Purpose Only a few studies have compared frequencies of photodermatoses between different races and skin types. This is an extension of a study performed by Kerr and Lim (2007) and evaluates the frequency of photodermatoses in African Americans compared to Caucasians in the same institution during an 8-year period.
Methods Retrospective chart review of dermatology clinic charts from October 2004 to August 2012 was performed. Charts of patients with International Classification of Diseases, Ninth Revision diagnostic codes related to photodermatoses were included.
Results We identified 229 patients with photodermatoses. Of these patients, 138 (46.6%) were African American and 63 (42.2%) were Caucasian. The distribution of photodermatoses in African Americans and Caucasians, respectively, were as follows: Chronic actinic dermatitis (2.9% and 1.6%), photoallergic dermatitis (0% and 1.6%), photosensitivity not-otherwise specified (9.4% and 11.1%), phototoxic drug eruption (0.7% and 15.9%), phytophotodermatitis (0% and 6.3%), polymorphous light eruption (86.2% and 54%), porphyrias (0% and 7.9%), and solar urticaria (0.7% and 1.6%). The higher proportion of African Americans with polymorphous light eruption compared to Caucasians was statistically significant (p<0.0001). There were higher proportions of Caucasians with porphyrias (p=0.003), phototoxic drug eruption (p<0.0001), and phytophotodermatitis (p=0.009) compared to African Americans.
Conclusion Combined with data from Kerr and Lim, this is the largest study of photodermatoses in African Americans to date, including a total of 509 patients evaluated over a 15-year period. Congruent to former studies, photodermatoses occur regularly in dark-skinned individuals. Overall, the frequency of photodermatoses in African Americans and Caucasians are similar, with the exception of polymorphous light eruption, which occurs more commonly in African Americans, and porphyias, which are more common in Caucasians.

Introduction The Sun Protection Factor (SPF) is commonly used to convey a sunscreen's efficacy in protecting primarily against erytemogenic energy. Some media outlets and health professionals promote the misconception that high SPFs offer only marginal improvements in sun protection, arguing that the percentage of UVB rays blocked (%-blocked) increases much slower than SPF increases. For example, doubling SPF from 30 to 60 increases %-blocked only from 96.7% to 98.3%. In fact, SPF-60 is twice as effective as SPF-30: it allows only half the erythemogenic rays to reach the skin (%-through: 1.7% vs. 3.3%, assuming laboratory conditions). We tested the prediction that the %-blocked format leads laypeople to underestimate increases in sun protection when comparing sunscreens.
Methods 343 US laypeople completed a randomized web-experiment. Sunscreen effectiveness was communicated as %-blocked, SPF, or %-through. Participants judged the increase in sun protection for 10 pairs of sunscreens (all combinations of SPFs 10, 15, 20, 30, and 50). Main participant outcome measures: (a) mean bias (under-/overestimation of protection increase; i.e., ratio of minimal erythema doses); (b) mean subjective rating (range: 1–7). HDI: 95% Bayesian posterior density interval.
Results On average, the %-blocked format led participants to underestimate the increase in sun protection by a factor of 2.04 (HDI [2.00–2.09]), whereas the SPF format led to only slight (1.20, HDI [1.12–1.26]), and the %-through format to moderate underestimation (1.45, HDI [1.35–1.55]). Furthermore, %-blocked led to lower subjective impressions of increases (4.0, HDI [3.8–4.2]) than did SPF (4.9, HDI [4.7–5.1]) or %-through (4.5, HDI [4.3–4.7]).
Conclusion Communicating sunscreen effectiveness as %-blocked leads laypeople to underestimate the increase in sun protection when comparing sunscreens, whereas using SPF leads to appropriate perceptions. The media and health professionals should thus use SPFs rather than %-blocked to communicate sunscreen effectiveness to laypeople.

Introduction The SPF may range from as low as 2 to up to 100 and more. Recently the suspicion has been voiced that UV filters as well as other ingredients may induce anti-inflammatory properties attenuating ultraviolet-induced erythema or delay the erythema response on the skin. As a consequence this may lead to higher SPFs and hence will give a false sense of security. For this above reason, we decided to determine the potential impact of a post-irradiation application of a SPF 100+ sunscreen containing UV filters that may have an anti-inflammatory effect.
Methods A commercial sunscreen, labeled SPF 100+ was utilized. 10 volunteers were enrolled after standard enrollment procedures. A solar simulator (Model 16S Solar Light Co USA) was used to induce mild erythema on designated areas of the back of the volunteers. The experimental principles were compliant with those applied for the measurement of sun protection factor (SPF) as detailed in ISO 24444. Immediately after irradiation the SPF 100+ test product was applied to the previously exposed skin at a rate of 2mg/cm2. The product was left in place up to the 4 hour time point. The induced erythema was assessed visually and instrumentally after 4h, 24h, 5d and 18d.
Results The effect of post-treatment with the SPF 100+ product is not significant compared to the control sites that were not post-treated. Sayre et al recently reported to have found an effect when applying a post treatment by an SPF 100+ sunscreen with anti-inflammatory ingredients, however with a number of subjects of n=1.
Conclusion An anti-inflammatory effect of SPF 100+ sunscreen could not be confirmed in a standard SPF testing set-up. Furthermore, the effect of post treatment can go either way; hence no conclusion can be drawn with a study on a single subject.

Purpose To determine the frequency of sunscreen use and identify barriers to sunscreen use in patients with cutaneous lupus erythematosus (CLE).
Methods A cross-sectional survey on sunscreen use was administered on-line, by telephone, by mail, or in person to patients enrolled in the University of Texas Southwestern CLE Registry. Demographics and patient history were obtained from the registry database and medical charts. Additional information including disease severity and quality of life scores were collected from patients seen in person.
Results A total of 100 CLE patients completed the survey. The minority of CLE patients (42%) reported using sunscreen at least five days per week (i.e. regular users), whereas 58% of CLE patients used sunscreen four or fewer days a week (i.e. irregular users). Significant barriers reported by patients include forgetfulness (p=0.005), inconvenience (p=0.004) and lack of efficacy in preventing lupus flares (p=0.05) with sunscreen use. When comparing characteristics of regular and irregular sunscreen users, significant differences were seen in marital status (i.e. irregular users were more likely to be single or separated (p=0.003)), education (i.e. irregular users were more likely to have a high school degree or lower (p=0.04)) and SKINDEX emotion scores (i.e. irregular users reported worse quality of life in the emotion domain (p=0.047)).
Conclusions The majority of CLE patients use sunscreen less than five days per week. Irregular users were more likely to be single and cited forgetfulness as a significant barrier to sunscreen use. Advising patients to bring family members or friends to their clinic visits may aid in greater adherence to a sunscreen regimen as they may provide accountability to the patients. Irregular users also tended to be less educated, and practitioners are encouraged to take time to educate them about the importance and efficacy of regular sunscreen use. Furthermore, educational programs geared towards improving sunscreen use in these populations will be developed and implemented in future pilot studies.

The skin serves as a protective shield for our bodies, acting as the first line of defense from various environmental insults including ultraviolet radiation (UVR). Exposure of the skin to UVR leads to a series of damaging molecular and structural changes that have profound detrimental effects on the skin over time. The damage, if not prevented or corrected, will accumulate, resulting in premature skin aging and increasing the risk for developing skin cancer. UVR penetrates through the epidermal and dermal layers of the skin, thereby inflicting damage to the different skin cells including keratinocytes, fibroblasts and melanocytes. At the molecular level, UVR causes broad damage to critical cellular components such as DNA, proteins and lipids thereby affecting essential cellular functions such as replication, transcription, translation, protein functionality, and loss of membrane integrity. Therefore, understanding the molecular changes underlying UVR-induced skin aging is of crucial importance. Here we have employed 3D reconstructed human skin models to study UVR-induced cellular damage. These 3D systems closely mimic human skin and therefore serve as improved in vitro models to understand skin's physiology compared to in vitro 2D monolayer systems. The types of damage reported from UVR in human skin, such as lipid peroxidation, pyrimidine dimer formation and protein modifications can also be observed in the 3D models. They can also be used to understand the contribution of melanin to the protection of skin against UVR. Furthermore, these models also serve as useful tools to screen for topical agents that can repair or prevent such damage, and thereby provide benefits against skin aging.

Introduction Systemic sclerosis (SSc) is a chronic connective tissue disease associated with fibrosis and thickening of the skin and multiple internal organs. Available evidence shows that SSc is associated with a higher frequency of lung cancer. Present therapy of systemic sclerosis is unsatisfactory and is often associated with the severity of the disease and affected organ systems. Photopheresis or extracorporeal photochemotherapy (ECP), is a treatment with a very low side effect profile and can, when initiated early enough, often contribute to improvement of skin sclerosis. In the present study the goal was to determine the risk of lung carcinoma in ECP-treated SSc-patients.
Methods A cohort study with an anonymous retrospective analysis of 71 patients with SSc who were treated with ECP between 1991 and 2013 at the Photopheresis Center of the Department of Dermatology at the Medical University of Vienna, Austria.
Results Lung cancer was detected in 7 (= 10%) of 71 patients with SSc. In the Austrian general population the cumulative risk to develop lung cancer before the age of 75 is 2.1% for women and 4.5% for men. SSc patients of our cohort had a risk of 10% and thus an increased risk for developing lung cancer. A total of 54 % of our collective had developed a non-specific interstitial pneumonia (NSIP). Of interest was the observation that all of the lung carcinoma patients had been diagnosed with a NSIP prior to the development of lung carcinomas. In this study, patients with systemic sclerosis have a standardized incidence rate (SIR) of 2.34 (95% CI 0.84 to 4.58) for developing this malignancy.
Conclusion As reported in previous studies patients with systemic sclerosis have an increased risk of developing a lung cancer. Since lung cancer appeared only in SSc patients previously diagnosed with an NSIP we also conclude that NSIP in systemic sclerosis could be a contributing factor for the development of lung cancer. Photopheresis treated patients did not present with a higher than reported incidence.

Happy Thursday! Only one more day until the weekend! I have a super bright and fun mani to show you today!
I was in the mood for neons last night - and this is pretty much completely opposite from what I had in mind originally. LOL But I really like it! I used a white creme base (Milani White on the Spot - will list all colors in this mani at the end of the post) and then I put drops of colors on a stamping plate. Once I had all of the colors on the stamping plate (a large enough area to cover a nail) I pressed a makeup sponge on top and then placed that directly on my nail. I did this process twice on each nail to achieve this look. After that was dry I added the stamping using plates from the first Bundle Monster set and topped it off with one coat of Poshe.
After finishing this mani it reminded me of some that I have seen over at The Crumpet. Debbie calls them "Splodgeramas" - while I did mine differently, the outcome is very similar. You can see her tutorial here.
|Spring Mani

And here is a look at the base before I added the stamping...
|Spring Mani - Pre-Stamping
What do you think of this mani? I wish the stamping was better but I really like it anyway!
The colors I used for the base of this mani are:
China Glaze I'm With the Lifeguard
China Glaze Turned Up Turquoise
Sinful Colors Dream On
Urban Outfitters Bandeau
And the stamping was done with Color Club Wild at Heart and Milani White on the Spot.
Thanks for reading and happy polishing! ♥

Based on 'A Solution to Sadness', written by Dave Dubose and screenplay by Dee McCullay, 'Scars' is a short paranormal horror/drama by indie filmmaker Dee McCullay. 'Scars' follows a lone girl named Faith Beckett who struggles to keep afloat and deals with psychological issues, such as depression and cutting. She is about to find out there is no solution to sadness at the edge of a blade. Based on a short horror story from writer Dave Dubose and adapted into a screenplay under the name 'Scars', it is the third short horror film in rapid succession from Thunderstryker Films, led by Dee McCullay.
"Dave came to me with this extraordinary story and I knew it would be a great short film, as I had just finished Border Patrol film and had time for another film; and I knew this was going to be different from the others," says McCullay. The film deals with depression, anxiety, self harm, its effects, choices and the paranormal. Using first time actors, some of which were very last minute, and a skeleton crew, "I believe we have made something quite special and with all the posts lately on social media about suicide prevention and depression, it looks like it's coming out at just the right time, and I expect it to be well received."
Dee has covered multiple positions in the film, such as screenplay, location scout, casting, producer, director, cinematographer, ADR, Sound FX, sound design, VFX and editor, and is continually striving to create that creepy ambient undertone of the film and the final quality he strives for. Dee stated "I don't see me stopping any time soon as I push to be the man in Canadian Horror for 2017."

Redlands, California—The Vermont Agency of Transportation (VTrans) Rail Section recently implemented ArcGIS Online to manage state-owned rail assets and improve emergency response. In addition, the agency uses the Esri Collector for ArcGIS and Operations Dashboard for ArcGIS apps for field data collection and oversight of Vermont's rail network.
To eliminate data silos, VTrans replaced its spreadsheet-based asset management system with a secure, cloud-based GIS for managing its network. The agency uses ArcGIS Online to display all its rail property and asset information in various map viewers accessible by VTrans personnel and the public.
To improve its rail inspection and emergency response, VTrans uses Collector for ArcGIS. Recently, Collector enabled field staff to gather condition information on 379 public rail crossings in just six weeks, nearly three times faster than last year. This valuable information will help VTrans plan maintenance and upgrades for years to come. VTrans field staff also used Collector to share damage reports during Hurricane Sandy, including photos for faster evaluation of storm damage.
VTrans uses Operations Dashboard for ArcGIS in its rail asset inspection process to perform high-level analyses of crossing conditions. Operations Dashboard also provides up-to-the-minute situational awareness by displaying real-time weather information, asset condition reports, and photos for emergency responders and state officials.
To view the public version of the VTrans rail mapping system, visit rail.vermont.gov.

'Back to the Future' getting prequel comic series
The classic trilogy gets expanded in October
With 'Back to the Future' celebrating it's 30th anniversary this year and yet continuing to garner more fans, it's no surprise that Universal Studios is keen to keep the story alive, even if Director Robert Zemeckis won't allow a remake or sequel until he passes away. So its perhaps fitting that the story will be extended in comic book form, with this week's announcement by IDW.
According to io9, the series will act as a prequel to the events of the first film, depicting how Marty first met Doc Brown and then filling in further story line gaps between the three films. Headed up by writers John Barber and Erik Burnham 'Back to the Future' #1 will hit newsstands in October to coincide with the release of a new 30th anniversary 4 disc Blu-ray boxset, which will include new bonus features.

If there is no God, everything is permissible.
–Ivan Karamazov
Go on, then. Do what you want. It doesn't even matter if you harm everyone. It's all about you, darling.
Dress how you want. Get all the tattoos you want, all the piercings, all the mutilations. Who cares if it scares people? You're entitled to your own choices.
Sex? Drugs? Booze? Go for it, baby! Who wants to live forever? If it feels good, do it, and hang the consequences.
If there is no God, everything is permissible.
Lie to your parents. Cheat on your homework. You're not hurting anyone.
Lie to your customers. Cheat on your taxes. They were stupid enough to trust you; you don't owe anyone anything.
Lie to your children. Cheat on your spouse. It's what you want that matters, right?
Lie about your enemy and sit back with popcorn to watch while the mob gleefully tears him apart. He had it coming.
Lie to the public just to see what they'll do. When you get caught, say it was a joke or a social experiment. If people get mad, they're just haters.
If there is no God, everything is permissible.
Let your freak flag fly. If others look away, take offense at their hate. If they look at you, take offense because they've objectified you. If people won't support you, sue them until they do. If they cave, sue them anyway for having dared to think about opposing you. If they refuse to take a side, if they claim it's none of their business, force them to choose–and curse them for their choice no matter what it is.
Take what you want, by fair means or foul. If someone objects, it's his fault for denying you your rights.
If there is no God, everything is permissible.
Kill an animal just because.
Kill an old man because he's inconvenient, because his skin's the wrong color, because you just felt like it. Take pot shots at passers-by because man is the most dangerous game.
Leave the sick and the wounded to die, or help them out of their misery whether they want you to or not. In fact, encourage the gullible to leave themselves unprotected and do nothing when scofflaws and kinslayers unleash violence and pestilence among them. The gene pool needs chlorine anyway.
Encourage hate, incite riots, yawn when people kill each other unless the killer has the wrong heritage.
Slaughter children for profit and sell them for parts. Who cares? It's only tissue.
If there is no God…
… but God is.

A Night to Fight FA welcomed 350 people to the Navy Marine Corps Stadium's Akerson Tower in Annapolis to raise awareness of Friedreich's Ataxia -- a rare, debilitating, life-shortening, degenerative neuro-muscular disease that affects 1 in 50,000 people.
Symptoms of FA include a loss of coordination (Ataxia) in arm and legs, energy deprivation and muscle loss, slurred speech, vision impairment and hearing loss, aggressive scoliosis, serious heart conditions and diabetes.
Organized by the Burrows Hill Foundation, the fundraiser, held Saturday April 1st, boasted a VW bus photo booth, live and silent auctions, food, an open bar, and music. There was also an emotional component with a video showing that the onset of this disease typically starts in childhood.
Ron Bartek, President of the Friedreich's Ataxia Research Alliance (FARA), provided opening remarks, including an update on the current status of research. Brief remarks were also shared by Ben and Kristin Morrow, a family in attendance that has a daughter with FA.
Rolf Hill and Katie Burrows are the proud parents of three young girls. When their oldest daughter presented with some struggles in balance and coordination, they spoke with their pediatrician. The course of events and testing moved very rapidly and Sam was diagnosed with FA in 2015 at the age of 12. In 2016, their youngest daughter, Rebecca, was also diagnosed with FA at the age of 9. There is currently no treatment or cure for this disease, but a very strong community of those committed to the research necessary to find a cure.
Katie and Rolf tapped into this community right away, including joining research studies and supporting initiatives to both fundraise and ing greater awareness to FA. In 2016, they formed The Burrows Hill Foundation to Fight Friedreich's Ataxia with the mission of finding a cure and supporting those with FA. Strongly connected to their community, hundreds came forward with offers of support to the Burrows Hill family.
Both the Burrows Hill family and the Morrow family shared their experience with event guests, making special note of the impact of having such an incredible support network. Both families provided an appeal to guests to assist in advancing research, including numerous studies and ongoing clinical trials.
The evening raised over $100,000 to advance research, with the Fund-a-Cause portion of the program raising more than $32,000 to provide those with FA with adaptive equipment and modifications to their home for the purpose of increased mobility.
The Foundation has partnered with FARA's Ataxian Athlete Initiative to inspire, motivate, and provide opportunities to develop physical and mental strength. This will facilitate the funding and purchase of adaptive cycling equipment for aspiring Ataxian Athletes so they may start their personal rideATAXIA adventure. At the event was a recumbent bike, owned by Anna Morrow.
Rolf and Katie were taken aback by the generosity of those in attendance as well as those who have made contributions through the organization's website stating, "A Night to Fight was so much more than we ever imagined. The love, support and initiative shown by our friends, family and the community has been such a gift. The progress that FARA consistently makes gives us so much optimism. We know that events such as this will continue to raise the funds and awareness that FARA needs to reach their goal of a cure. We are so proud that because of A Night to Fight, we are able to ing awareness to 350 guests and the community and contribute $70,000 to FARA to help reach this goal."

MWC 15 Special
The Bluetooth Special Interest Group (SIG) today officially announced the winners of its Best of CES Contest, the first such contest hosted by the organization at the International Consumer Electronics Show (CES) 2006 last week to highlight the most innovative and consumer-friendly new Bluetooth enabled products. Manufacturers of Bluetooth products competed in seven categories representing consumer-facing industries in which Bluetooth technology is used.
Prior to the show, member companies of the Bluetooth SIG were invited to submit Bluetooth enabled products in the categories of mobile phone, headset, automotive hands-free, stereo audio, printing and imaging, PC environment and unique application. The Bluetooth SIG carefully tested each product and judged them on a variety of criterion, including ease of use, look and feel, implementation and originality. The products were also judged on their Best of Breed status, a program administered by the Bluetooth SIG that explains how classes of devices should implement specific profiles to provide exceptional user experience.
After determining finalists for each category, the devices were displayed at Pepcom's Digital Experience! press event on the eve of CES, as well as in the Bluetooth SIG booth in the Bluetooth Tech Zone at CES. Press and analysts who attended either the Pepcom event or stopped by the booth on Thursday were able to cast the final vote for the winner of each category.
"Our first annual Best of CES contest gave us the opportunity to
highlight some truly excellent Bluetooth products which consumers will find
easy and convenient to use," said Michael Foley, Ph. D., executive director
of the Bluetooth SIG. "As I looked around CES 2006, I saw an amazing array
of Bluetooth products. Companies and consumers alike are embracing the
technology and we look forward to a year of even more exciting product
introductions and technology advancements."
The following products were chosen as winners of each respective category
(finalists indicated in parentheses). The winning products will be included in
an in-studio broadcast tour where the devices will be shown in top markets
across the country. The overall winner, also voted on by press and analysts,
will receive a trip for two people to the Bluetooth SIG All Hands Meeting the
week of March 26 in Seattle, Washington.
The Bluetooth SIG recently announced that shipments of Bluetooth enabled
devices have doubled from May to November 2005 and products are now shipping
at a rate of over 9.5 million per week. The market for Bluetooth wireless
technology will continue to thrive with the adoption of new Bluetooth SIG
programs that will increase interoperability of devices and increase
consumer understanding of expected performance. One of those programs came
to fruition this week as the SIG launched an updated consumer website at
http://www.bluetooth.com/ which includes sections to help consumers learn
about the technology and find out what different devices can do for them.
Cheers ~ Arne

Congressman Seeks to Strip IRS of 'Guns and Badges'
With ongoing feuds between the IRS and Congress increasing the uncertainty of annual funding for the IRS criminal investigation unit, two congressmen are pushing to reassign the agents to the U.S. Treasury.
A fight that began over alleged IRS scrutiny of conservative nonprofit groups applying for tax-exempt status has grown into ever-increasing scrutiny of the IRS by Congress.
A bill introduced Thursday by U.S. Rep. George Holding, R-Raleigh, would "take the guns and badges away from the IRS," he said.
"These are the IRS agents that carry guns and badges, and they're very skilled…but the IRS itself is a failed bureaucracy," Holding said in an interview with McClatchy on Tuesday.
These IRS CI agents investigate crimes like money laundering, terrorism financing, and U.S. tax-evasion schemes that often include a web of offshore foreign accounts.
According to the IRS-CI annual report, agents investigated over 3,850 cases from October 2014 to October 2015.
Holding said he is not worried about the quality of work produced by the agents themselves, but the failures of IRS operations at large.
While the IRS is already under the umbrella of the Treasury, the bill stipulates creating a new entity called the "Bureau of Criminal Investigation."
"They shouldn't be entrusted with a law enforcement agency within them," Holding said. "This is the first substantive step toward dismantling the IRS."

Are the kids constantly battling? Want to promote acts of kindness instead? On a poster board, make 10 rows of 10 boxes where you can write each good deed your children do. If they're old enough, they can write in their own. Examples are:
- talking nicely
- brushing teeth without being asked
- holding the door for a sibling
- taking a plate to the sink
Every good deed goes toward the 100. Once the 100th is reached, celebrate in a way that suits your family, like an ice cream night, a movie, extra allowance, etc. They may rush to fill in the chart and forget about picking on each other (and you)!

Since we've not updated our readers in awhile, we thought we'd reveal our half-rest room renovation…even though it is not complete. We had put in drywall as soon as before in our rest room mission, so we had some expertise on what we wanted to do. Little tip: pay the extra cash to have the hardware store deliver your drywall if you don't have a truck.
Additional to the final submit, I had a quick conversation with a blacksmith (who happens to be a dab hand at interval property renovation) and who assured me of the structural virtues of brick arches. Happily there are several firms that offer period fashion hardware designs in new materials.
Such a renovation of damaged goods had by no means earlier than been seen on Spangler's premises.

From Manhattan to "Sopranoland"
The tour of Sopranos Sites is based on the popular television show created by David Chase for HBO. The Sopranos stars James Gandolfini as Tony Soprano, a New Jersey mafia boss. The television show's many successful seasons revolve around Tony Sopranos difficulties as he tries to balance his family life and running his criminal organization. The show gave a bird's eye view into mob life and allowed viewers to see the inner workings of this New Jersey crime family. Season 1 and half of Season 2 were focused on Tony's relationship with his mother Livia, played by Nancy Marchand. Ms. Marchand passed away half way through Season 2's filming, which was eventually written into the story line. From that point on, Tony's wife, Carmella (played by Edie Falco), his daughter Meadow (played by Jamie Lynn Siegler), along with his son AJ (played by Robert Iler) vie for Tony's attention in between the dirty deals and beat downs that take place on a daily basis in this mob boss' life.
The tour begins in New York and starts out with sites from the opening credits, including the exit of the Lincoln Tunnel and the famous Manhattan skyline. As you arrive in Jersey, you'll see more sites from the credits like The Muffler Man, Pizza Land, the Valley Landscape silo, a featured Tudor house, a building in the center of the Meadowlands that Tony often passes, and the ramp to the Pulaski Skyway seen at the end of every episode.
The tour then hits some of the most recognizable places from The Sopranos: Barone Sanitation (Tony's business), the Skyway Diner (where Christopher gets shot), Big Pussy's auto body shop, and Satin Dolls, also known as the Bada Bing.
The tour visits major sites that were used in filming the show such as Cozzarelli's; Party Box (now unoccupied) and Car Wash; ; Searchlight Diner; and St. Cecila's Church, all of which were locations for majors scenes in the show. Get off the bus for a fun stop at Holsten's (where the final scene of the last episode was shot) and enjoy complimentary onion rings just as you see Tony and his family indulging in in that final scene. Sit in "Tony's" booth with your family for a nostalgic photo to share with friends.
Another major location for the television show, Satriale's Pork Store, was a fictional establishment that was housed in an empty warehouse next to the Irish American Club in Kearny. The set was dismantled after the filming of the series concluded, and the building was torn down to make way for condominiums, which never happened!
More Sopranos filming locations include the back of Big Pussy's house; the batting cages used by Pussy, AJ and Kevin; the Gold Driving Range where Tony takes his first Prozac; the marina where the Season 5 poster was photographed; Harrison High School where AJ vandalizes the pool; Seabra's Rodizo, used as the Searchlight Diner where Pussy turns FBI informant; the statue of Christopher Columbus where the Sopranos get into a fight with the Native Americans; St. Cecilia's (Carmela's church); the funeral home used for Carmine's wake; the Nuovo Vesuvio; and many, many more.
You Gotta Eat…
During the tour, you'll get the chance to eat at Holsten's Diner. If you'd rather venture on your own after the tour, why not grab a bite to eat in the great Manhattan neighborhood of Little Italy, where the Soprano family often spent time on the show. Just follow the red, white, and green parking meters along Mulberry Street (between Grand and Canal streets) and you will find more Italian eateries than you could ever hope to visit in a single trip, like Amici II, Café Roma, Casa Bella, Lombardi's, Fratelli, Caffe Sorrento, Il Palazzo, and more.
In the late 1800's an influx of Italian immigrants created a Little Italy that wasn't so little. Now, it is a bit smaller, with only a few thousand Italian-Americans calling Little Italy their home. However, the neighborhood has never lost its charm. Stop by Umberto's Clam House, or Il Cortile to have a delicious lunch or dinner. Try La Mela for family style Italian or Grotta Azzura for upscale Italian. Skip dessert and grab some great cannoli over at Ferrara Bakery and Café. Or enjoy a glass of wine and tiramisu at one of the many outdoor cafes.
* In an effort to stay current, we are constantly updating our tours with new locations and cannot guarantee the presence of locations mentioned on our site. If you have a particular interest in locations from a specific TV show or movie, please let your tour guide know and we will do our best to accommodate your request.

Here's a summary of the USCF battle going on in the courts. I read about this a few years ago and tried keeping up with it, but I got tired-head after a while. Be sure you are awake and alert before you read this article (if you want to comprehend it).
All I can say is 'amen' to this op-ed regarding on-line chess ... especially the part where he states, "I sit here now, musing over a game in which I had three days to respond to my opponent's move, responded instead in three minutes and impatience has cost me the game.
There is truly no fool like an old fool."
I should have done this for my Eagle Scout Project.
