A Texas man whose conviction for sexually assaulting a 6-month-old girl raised questions about the science behind determining how children die has won a key legal battle. The Texas Court of Criminal Appeals on Wednesday threw out the conviction of Ernie Lopez, ruling that the Amarillo man's original attorneys failed him by not calling potentially important medical experts as witnesses.
Now the Amarillo district attorney must decide whether to retry Lopez, who has been in prison for nine years. Lopez is serving a 60-year sentence.
Last June, reporting by NPR's investigative unit, working with journalists from PBS Frontline and ProPublica, found that Lopez could have been falsely accused and convicted.
Lopez and his wife were babysitters for the infant, Isis Vas. Lopez was alone with the girl in October 2000 when she went into distress. Lopez called 911 and an ambulance crew rushed the baby to the hospital. Doctors and nurses saw marks on her face, bruises on her body and blood in the girl's vagina. Less than 24 hours later, the baby died. Right away, doctors and nurses suspected child abuse. At Lopez's trial, in 2003, one nurse testified that it was the worst case of child abuse she'd ever seen.
The NPR, Frontline and ProPublica investigation found nearly two dozen cases in the United States and Canada where people were convicted of killing children, but were later cleared when it turned out the accusations were based on flawed or biased work by forensic pathologists and other medical professionals.
Lopez's current lawyers argue that his case should get counted as one of those false convictions. They say Isis Vas died, not because she was beaten and sexually assaulted, but because of an undetected blood disorder that can create bruises and bleeding that mimic child abuse. But no witnesses were called to make that case at the original trial.
On Wednesday, the Texas Court of Criminal Appeals, the state's highest court for criminal cases, ruled that Lopez had received "deficient representation" and that had such witnesses testified on behalf of Lopez, there was a "reasonable probability the jury would not have convicted him."
"We are very pleased with the Court of Criminal Appeals decision to set aside Ernie's conviction," said Heather Kirkwood, the attorney who put together Lopez's latest appeal. She added: "The Texas courts deserve ample recognition for the careful review of the record that led to today's decision."
William McKinney Jr., another Lopez attorney, said the local district attorney, Randall Sims, must now decide whether to retry the case. Last year, Sims told NPR, Frontline and ProPublica that he would pursue a new trial if the appeals court set aside the guilty verdict. Sims did not respond Wednesday to a request for comment.
There is an added risk for Lopez in a new trial. Originally, Lopez was indicted on child sexual assault and murder charges. Prosecutors chose to go to trial on the sexual assault case first, and got a conviction. Jurors only learned that the child had died when it was time for them to determine Lopez's prison sentence. A new trial could also include the murder charge, and prosecutors could seek the death penalty.
Lopez's attorneys are ready to present medical experts who say there was evidence that Isis Vas suffered from a series of problems that suggested she had a rare blood disorder. They will argue that this is consistent with what Lopez told paramedics, doctors and the hospital: That the baby had been sick, lethargic and eaten little from the time her mother brought her to the Lopez house three days earlier.
Although prosecutors and the child's mother have insisted Lopez was guilty, others have expressed their strong doubts, including Lopez's family, his former boss, a psychologist who evaluated him, and friends of the baby's mother, who say the woman, a physician, behaved erratically, drank through her pregnancy with Isis and then was a neglectful parent, even once leaving the baby by herself while the mother went to work.
The mother, Veronica Vas, disputes these claims and says her child was in good health — although she had a cold and some bug bites on her face — when she left her with Lopez and his wife.
Lopez is currently at a state prison 600 miles from his family in Amarillo. Now he'll be transferred back to Potter County. Lopez's lawyers say they will ask that he be released on bond and be allowed to live with his family, even if he faces a new trial.
Although the Texas court released its ruling on Wednesday, Lopez's attorneys were not able to get approval to call him with the news. They are scheduled to tell him on Thursday afternoon.
Update at 8:30 p.m. ET: 'The Case Won't Be Dismissed'
Amarillo District Attorney Randall Sims says: "The case won't be dismissed, I can tell you that," according to the Tex Parte Blog of the Texas Journal. But Sims said the situation is "fluid" and his office has not decided how to proceed in reaction to the Texas Court of Criminal Appeals decision to set aside Lopez's conviction.

In our previous article we talked about how to define the user experience role you need to fill in your organization and how to create a job description that will appeal to potential candidates. As we noted, hiring user experience professionals can be a massively time-consuming endeavor that involves navigating a mysterious and hyper-competitive talent market. Thus we are trying to take some of the confusion out of the hiring process.
So, now that the position has been defined, it's time to review and evaluate candidates and locate the best match for the job. There are a few steps to this process, and they pretty much mirror the steps followed in any hiring situation.
- Create a pool of potential candidates to fill your role
- Set up an interview panel
- Develop a set of interview questions
- Conduct the interviews and assess the candidate
Create a Pool of Candidates
To start your process you need to find people who might be a possible match for your job. You're likely to get a number of applications in response to your job posting, but you shouldn't limit your search to just these. Be proactive and look for people who you would want on your team. Fortunately, there are a lot of tools at your disposal to find them.
- Ask your teammates for internal referrals.
- Contact universities that have programs in design, human-computer interaction, and similar disciplines.
- Post your job description on industry association job boards and mailing lists: IxDA, UXPA, and ACM SIGCHI are some to consider.
- Reach out to UX groups on professional social networking sites, such as LinkedIn.
- Look for resumes and portfolios of people who work in companies that build products you consider to be well-designed.
Resume review
You can learn a lot about UX professionals before you ever speak to them by looking at their resumes and portfolios, which will help determine the candidates who are worth investigating further.
Ideally, these resumes will show the impact of their UX work on products that have already launched. Even new graduates should mention some practical industry experience, either through internships or school projects that involved real clients. You may choose to favor candidates who have experience with companies or domains that are similar to yours.
The quality of a resume itself is also important. Is it easy-to-follow, short, and succinct? Did the candidate proofread it? Is the layout well-designed and consistent? After all, you are looking to hire someone who will be involved in designing your product. If they can't create a forceful and attractive resume, consider that a red flag!
Portfolio review
The vast majority of UX professionals, with the exception of some researchers, will have an online portfolio to showcase their work. Review these portfolios carefully and you'll gain insight into the breadth and the quality of your candidates' work.
Take a look at the projects presented. Are the final results good? This may feel very subjective, but it's important to know that the person you hire is going to satisfy your company's requirements. How many projects are presented? Do they show a wealth of skills and demonstrate the ability to work within a variety of domains on different UX problems?
In addition to the examples of the completed work product, a good portfolio will detail some of the processes that led to the final results. Ideally, for design projects you'll see the project brief outlining initial requirements, sketches, or wireframes that led to final design decisions, and a note on timelines. If a portfolio only shows final screenshots it's much harder to understand the contributions of each person. Remember, UXers never work alone! You need to know whether your candidate was a key player in the project or had only tangential involvement.
Understanding the real-world constraints of the projects is important for your ability to assess the outcomes. School projects will often have a lot of flexibility, fairly large teams, and semester-long timelines. Out in the field, UX professionals don't always have the luxury of being able to follow the ideal design or research process due to time or budget constraints. Real-world projects have unexpected twists or requirements that can affect the finished product in many ways—UXers need to be able to adapt and still produce high-quality work.
The portfolio itself is one of the pieces that the UXer has created. Does the designer understand how to use type, color, and space to create an online presence that is elegant and usable? Does the researcher deliver findings in a way that's engaging to an audience not familiar with the project? Is the site easy to navigate? Are there any obvious red flags, such as technical glitches or annoying Flash intros? Don't hesitate to view the source code of the site to check the quality of HTML, CSS, and JavaScript if you are looking for someone with solid technical skills.
You may not be able to get all the answers you need from the portfolio, and if you are interested in proceeding with a particular candidate, you'll have a chance to probe more deeply into the details of these projects during the interviews. Once you've found a manageable number of candidates to move forward with, it's time to set up your interview panel.
Set up an Interview Panel
As you prepare to speak to the candidates, you have two crucial tasks. First, you need to figure out who in your company is going to be on the interview panel, helping you assess the UXers. Second, you need to educate yourself and the rest of the interviewers on what questions to ask.
Ideally, you should have five or six people participating in the interviews. One person will conduct the phone screen and will join the remaining interviewers for the candidate's on-site presentation. Aim for a diversity of skills on your interview panel. If you already have UX professionals in your company, they should certainly be on the panel as they are best equipped to evaluate your candidates' core skills. Additionally, enlist the help of one or more of the key decision-makers, like product managers or engineering leads. They'll be working with UX closely, and it's important that they have a say in who you hire.
At Google, we've found that we get the best results from the panels that are somewhat skewed towards the candidate's specialty, but also have input from cross-functional stakeholders. For instance, interaction design candidates speak with two or three designers, a technical interviewer (such as a frontend developer or a prototyper), a researcher, and a product manager or an executive. Similarly, research candidates speak with a few researchers, a designer, and a PM. Don't fret if you are just building your UX organization and can't yet set up an ideal panel. Read on to learn about what questions to ask.
Develop a Set of Interview Questions
If most of the people on the interview panel have never interviewed UXers before, you should invest some time discussing questions to ask and possibly even assign areas for each interviewer to cover. You want to avoid duplicate questions and ensure that you can consistently compare interview feedback across candidates.
In addition to role-specific skills and user advocacy aptitude there are attributes that all UXers should have: communication and collaboration skills, a desire to have impact on real-world products, abstract problem-solving prowess, and the ability to prioritize projects.
Role-related core competencies
You'll be able to assess the level of production skills for designers from their portfolio and design exercise, but you should also focus on their design process and project management skills. Can they work across functions to gather insights, start from sketches, iterate on ideas, and eliminate bad ones, wireframe potential solutions, and collaborate with engineering to get things built? They should be able to initiate and lead design projects to completion while incorporating constructive feedback into their work.
User researchers know how to ask the right questions and refine those into a specific research plan. They need to have a good handle of several methodologies and be able to analyze data effectively and without bias. Experienced researchers will adapt common research methods to the situations and questions at hand and discover answers within reasonable timelines. They may also rely on synthesizing data from past research and external sources. They'll take initiative and propose research if they feel that the team can benefit from learning more about a particular aspect of user behavior. Finally, they know how to conduct ethical research.
In addition to good knowledge of design and development processes, prototypers should possess a strong technical understanding of front-end coding. They should be able to create prototypes to express design ideas that the rest of the team can relate to. Can they be the bridge between UX designers and the engineering team? Prototypers need to utilize technical skills at their disposal—HTML, CSS, JavaScript, Flash—to bring interaction ideas to life.
Communication and collaboration skills
You want to find out whether your potential hire is able to communicate clearly, confidently, and concisely both orally and in writing. UXers need to know how to fine-tune the delivery of their design proposals or research insights to the right audience, including those of non-UXers. To succeed in their new role, an ability to build alliances across the organization is absolutely crucial.
These soft skills are tough to test for. Your best bet is to pay close attention to the onsite presentation and ask very detailed questions about the portfolio projects. Ask about difficult stakeholders; probe on the team composition and the outcome of their design or research projects; inquire about working with teams that may have not had prior experience with UX. The best candidates will be able to base their answers on past experiences and will show a great degree of self-awareness, discussing team engagement strategies that have worked for them before.
Desire to have a positive impact
Consider diving into your candidate's previous projects to find out their level of experience working in the industry. This especially applies to new grads and researchers coming from academia or research labs.
The UX field is exciting, and designing clever new interactions or tracking down answers to fascinating research problems can be very engaging. But what are the outcomes? If your aim is to build a business, you need UXers who care deeply about the impact they will have on your products and customers.
Do they focus on users throughout their design and research process? Do they know how to provide actionable recommendations? Can they be productive within your budgets or development timelines? Has their work led to product improvements? Do they know how to get development teams to buy into their suggestions? How do they feel about working on someone else's ideas as a part of a bigger team? Can they work around technical constraints and adjust their recommendations accordingly? Listen carefully since these answers will help you identify the folks who have the ability to make your products better.
Abstract problem-solving
Problem-solving is not an easy skill to test for but it's crucial for UX professionals. Try throwing an "unsolvable" problem at the candidate and observe how they try to crack it. As unfair as it may sound, it's a very useful exercise. Think of a design problem for which there is a general approach that makes sense and have the candidate talk through their plan of attack. Encourage them to sketch their ideas if it helps to explain the concepts and be careful not to impose your own solutions.
As the conversation progresses, feel free to provide feedback on the ideas and throw in additional constraints. It's important to see if the candidate is able to adapt to the changing requirements, incorporate your feedback into their thinking, react to roadblocks, and work with others.
Ability to prioritize UX projects
Just like with most other jobs, there is always more UX work to do than one can handle. The dichotomy of urgent vs. important projects is not lost on designers and researchers, and the best UXers are able to balance the short-term pressures of tactical work with long-term investments in strategic engagements. If you are looking to hire one of the first UXers in your company, this person will likely support multiple features, products, or teams at the same time. The hire needs to be able to gauge the potential impact of UX involvement and strive to take on the high-impact projects, prioritizing UX issues from "nice-to-fix" to "launch-blocking."
This is where situational questions and case studies come in handy. You can ask your candidate to come up with a proposal for a design or a research project on a particular subject. Don't expect anyone to craft an ideal solution during the interview. What you are after is the questions they ask you! Did the candidate want to learn more about the current priorities or try to clarify the team's needs? Did you have to provide additional information on what the team already has in place, the goals of the project, and the timelines? All these questions are something UXers should be asking when they engage with a real team on a real project, and it's fair to expect the same approach during the interview.
Some final thoughts on the interview questions
As you can see, many of the questions you could ask involve case studies and design or research exercises. A good rule of thumb, however, is to avoid asking questions that are specific to your business. Don't ask the candidate to share ideas on redesigning a feature you are struggling with! The candidate will always be at a disadvantage since you have a lot more information and context about the problem, and you'll rarely be satisfied with the response. You also run a risk of getting into some intellectual property hot water if you choose to implement a suggestion from a candidate you don't hire. Stick to neutral questions about sites, products, or experiences and let your imagination flow! We've asked candidates to redesign or study grocery stores, public transit stations, ticket sales machines, elevators for 1000-floor buildings, and more—fun challenges that give your candidates ample opportunity to show their user-centered thinking and creativity.
Conduct the Interviews
Phone screen and design exercise
Interviewing candidates on the phone is a fast and cheap way to get a feel for their skills, experience, and culture fit. It's also a good opportunity to tell them more about the role. Phone interviews work best for questions that are easily answered without any reference to visuals. Probe on a candidate's design process, teamwork, and past experiences—this is your chance to figure out the role they played in the projects presented in their portfolio.
You may ask your candidates to complete a design exercise after the phone screen and get a "live test" of their design skills. The formula for useful design exercises is quite simple. You want to give all your candidates the same prompt (or a choice of two or three prompts) a few days before the onsite interview. In the interest of fairness, limit the time they spend on the exercise—three hours is usually enough. Your goal is to understand their design thinking, ability to focus on the user, and level of expertise across interaction design, visual design, and technical skills. Outline the deliverables you are looking for in your prompt: description of the process, intermediate work product (e.g. sketches), wireframes for a few interactions, and one or two high-fidelity mocks or an interactive prototype, depending on the role you are hiring for.
Design exercises are also a great way for your interviewers to calibrate themselves—over time they will see multiple candidates present solutions to the same problem.
Onsite interviews
This is the most exciting part of the hiring process (maybe aside from getting your offer accepted)! Let the candidate know in advance that interview will start with a presentation where they talk about their work in front of the interview panel. The presentation should take about 45 minutes to an hour and include a portfolio review and a design exercise, if applicable. It's a way for you to gauge the candidate's communication skills and design or research process.
Individual interviews are the final step in assessing your candidate's fit for the role. Each should last about 45 minutes to allow every interviewer to follow up on all the questions they may have from the portfolio and design exercise presentation as well as ask any additional questions. This is also your chance to get into questions that can't be asked in other settings, such as design or research case-studies, abstract problem-solving, leadership skills, and so on.
Assess the candidate's fit for your role
Phew! You are almost done! Your team had a chance to speak with the candidate, and the last step is to decide whether you want this person to join your company. Ask everyone to write down their feedback and schedule a team discussion as soon as possible after the interviews.
Listen to everyone's thoughts, as your teammates will be bringing diverse perspectives both on the candidate's skills and the culture fit. If the feedback is uniformly positive, you are in luck. If there are some concerns, discuss whether or not lack of certain skills is a deal-breaker for your position. In any case, don't let anyone dominate the conversation!
The most difficult decisions are usually the ones when everyone liked the candidate but nobody was blown away. Is "competent" good enough for your team or would you rather search for a superstar? Our advice: hire people who are better than you at what they do and who bring new, unique skills to your team.
Good luck!

Proposed Settlement Would Pay For Medical Monitoring For Thousands Of Workers
< < Back toNearly 25,000 current and former coal preparation plant workers would receive testing to detect diseases potentially linked to toxic chemical exposure under a proposed legal settlement.
The deal offers the exams for plant workers in West Virginia and Pennsylvania, and about 5,000 current or former West Virginia wastewater treatment facility employees.
Chemtall Inc. and a half-dozen other companies agreed to the nearly $14 million settlement to resolve litigation over exposure to chemicals used to separate solids from liquids during the processing of coal or the cleaning of municipal wastewater. The settlement includes funds for the medical monitoring program, as well as other fees and expenses.
The deal received initial approval last month in Marshall County Circuit Court. A hearing is set for May 1.

Just finish touring 14 European countries in 12 days? Your seatmate on the plane home did it in five. Was your child reading books at age two? One of the kids at his preschool recited Shakespeare from the womb.
Tell someone you bake your own bread, and they'll inform you that they keep five different authentic European sourdough starters in their fridge and grind all of their own wheat.
Even the dubious honors are hard to come by. Each year I'm nominated for World's Worst Housekeeper, but I never win. The second time my mother arrived for a visit, the first thing she did when she walked into The Shack was hang a little sign on our tacky-but-practical black plastic pole lamp that said Martha Stewart Doesn't Live Here. Out of respect to Martha and my mother, we refuse to dust the lamp.
But I do have one bonafide claim to fame:
I'm the only person on the planet who tends an enormous kitchen garden and yet bought 30 zucchini this summer.
So far this year I've harvested two zucchini from three plants. There's a third one out on the vine, but it's turned a sickly yellow. I planted four other types of heirloom summer squash that are doing almost as well.
This totally embarrassing situation mostly has to do with killer squash bugs and my refusal to use toxic poisons in my organic garden.
2011 Update: I've been taking a break from planting summer squash, but I'm still determined to grow some, and before those nasty squash bugs even show up, I'll be liberally dousing the plants and surrounding soil with food grade diatomaceous earth.
This 100% natural powder (it's even safe to eat and we regularly feed it to the animals) has numerous uses around the farm and garden, including as an organic pest control for both hard and soft shelled creatures. We buy this brand in economical 50-pound bags (it lasts indefinitely if kept dry), and I use it in the garden to successfully kill or deter everything from sow bugs and cabbage worms to those ravenous blister beetles (you can read about more ways we use it here). I'm hoping it will also help with the squash bugs!
The good news is that I paid just twenty cents per zucchini, because there's only so much you can charge for something that everybody else is desperately trying to offload for free.
Clever and tasty ways to use up zucchini are everywhere this time of year, but many people are sick to death of eating it, no matter how nicely it's served. What you should really be doing with all your late summer zucchini is freezing it for later.
Six months from now, when you're not only craving zucchini but seriously considering plunking down $2.99 a pound for some bruised and battered, rubbery specimens at the supermarket, you'll be thrilled that you did.
Fortunately, freezing zucchini and other summer squash is a snap:
All you do is cut it into half-inch slices, blanch it in a pot of boiling water for three minutes, transfer it to a bowl of ice water to cool, drain it, and bag it.
Back in 2002, I decided to freeze my first pile of zucchini and yellow straight neck squash, figuring the frozen slices would turn to mush but that I could blend them up into warm winter soups. To my pleasant surprise they emerged from the freezer in perfect shape,* so I ended up turning each package into a quick winter pantry sauté:
Heat some butter or nice olive oil in a large skillet, add chopped onion and cook until soft, then stir in some chopped fresh garlic and cook another minute or two. Add summer squash or zucchini slices, a quart jar of canned San Marzano tomatoes from the garden (or purchased canned tomatoes), a can of organic garbanzo beans, and a generous sprinkling of freshly grated Pecorino Romano or Parmesan.
Cook until tender and hot, and serve over rice or pasta if desired. A hunk of warm, crusty bread to soak up the sauce is recommended.
Lemon zest and fresh rosemary add a flavorful twist to this just-sweet-enough zucchini bread (recipe here). Freeze the zucchini or freeze the entire loaf!
You can also freeze grated zucchini for baking. Just portion it out into the amount you'll need for a recipe (1 cup, 2 cups, etc.), squeeze out some of the liquid if it's really moist (you can use a flour sack towel—these are so handy in the kitchen, I use these and these every day—or cheesecloth, but I usually just stand over the sink and use my hands), and pack it straight into zipper freezer bags or containers.
August 2011 update: For help with how to use your frozen grated zucchini (drained? not drained? etc.), check out this thread on the Farmgirl Fare Facebook page. And please join in the conversation if you have something to add!
You can pack your sliced zucchini into zipper freezer bags or plastic freezer containers, but it'll freeze better and last much longer if you vacuum seal it with a FoodSaver.
A FoodSaver is an investment that pays for itself in no time, and once you start sealing up everything in sight you'll wonder how you ever lived without one. I use ours to seal everything from green beans to wild venison to chainsaw chains (it keeps them from rusting).
Rather than buy pre-made bags, I've found it's more practical and economical to make my own custom bags using two different sized rolls of the FoodSaver bag material (and I haven't had good luck using other brands).
A whole grain, healthy zucchini bread that still tastes like a treat, made with white whole wheat flour and unsweetened coconut (recipe here).
So as tempting as it may be to toss your excess summer squash to the chickens, take a little time and freeze it instead. Come winter, you'll be so happy you did.

Chrysler expected to formally refuse US request to recall Jeeps for fire risk
by Tom Krisher, The Associated Press
Dispute with National Highway Traffic Safety Administration could be decided in federal court
DETROIT—In one of the biggest-ever showdowns between an automaker and the government, Chrysler is expected to file papers explaining its refusal to recall 2.7 million older Jeep SUVs that are at risk of catching fire in rear-end collisions.
The United States government says 51 people have suffered fiery deaths in Jeep Grand Cherokees and Libertys with gas tanks mounted behind the rear axles.
But Chrysler is expected to stick to its contention that the SUVs are as safe as similar vehicles on the road.
The Jeeps, it says, met all federal safety standards when they were built, some more than two decades ago.
Car companies rarely spar publicly with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, the agency that monitors auto safety.
The last time an automaker denied a NHTSA recall request was early in 2011, when Ford said calling back 1.2 million pickup trucks for defective air bags wasn't justified.
Ford later agreed to the recall after NHTSA threatened to hold a rare public hearing on the issue.
NHTSA could employ the same tactic in the Jeep case.
The Jeep dispute ultimately could be decided in federal court.
NHTSA began investigating the SUVs three years ago at the behest of Clarence Ditlow, director of the Center for Auto Safety, an advocacy group.
Earlier this month, NHTSA sent a letter to Chrysler asking it to voluntarily recall Grand Cherokees from 1993 through 2004 and Libertys from 2002 through 2007.
The plastic gas tanks, the government said, can rupture when hit from behind, spilling fuel and causing deadly fires.
Chrysler responded publicly, saying in a statement that it "does not intend to recall the vehicles."
The car company must file its formal response to the request June 18.
Chrysler Group LLC, which is majority-owned by Italy's Fiat SpA, said that the Jeeps are among the safest vehicles of their era.
It accused NHTSA of holding the company to a new standard for fuel tank strength.
Chrysler moved gas tanks on the Grand Cherokee in front of the rear axle in 2005, and did the same thing with the Liberty in 2007.
Strengthening the structure around the gas tanks of the older Jeeps, likely the lowest-cost option, would be costly.
Relocating them ahead of the axle would cost even more.
Ditlow says the problem could be solved for $100 per vehicle by bolting a metal gas tank shield to the frame, adding a fuel tank check valve to stop leaks and making the tank's hose longer so it won't be pulled from the tank in a crash.
Even that solution would cost Chrysler $270-million, about one-sixth of the company's profit last year.
While both sides appear stuck in their positions, David Kelly, former acting NHTSA administrator under President George W. Bush, says he expects the matter to be settled before a public hearing takes place.
"I think cooler heads will eventually prevail," says Kelly, adding that neither side wants the matter aired in public. "Chrysler doesn't want to have a hearing with a bunch of people who have been in crashes and have lost family members."
But Kelly expects a lot of posturing before any settlement is reached.

July Favorites!
10:11 PMHappy August everyone! Can I just say that I'm a bit fearful for this month? August is usually the hottest month out of the year here in the midwest and last month was really ridiculous... most days were over 100 F and we actually hit a record high of 110+ 3 days ago. :[
On the good side, I had a lot of great new products I tried out this month! Applied in air conditioning! Yay!
Products mentioned:
Cure Natural Aqua Gel (also directly from the company here)
Lioele Aroma Waterproof Lip & Eye Remover
Suave Professionals Dry Shampoo
NYX HD Studio Griding Blush in Ménage à Trois
Urban Decay Lipstick in Naked
Urban Decay 24/7 Waterproof Liquid Eyeliners in Bobby Dazzle and Eldorado
FAIRYDROPS Waterproof Scandal Queen Mascara (non-wp here and review here)
FAIRYDROPS Candybar BB Cream in Ocher
Sigma Round Top Kabuki F82 (you can also browse through my referral here)
As you can see, I was pretty happy with most of the Asian products I tested this month. I've heard so many good things about the Cure Aqua Gel in particular and it totally lived up to the hype. I literally put it on again last night and my skin felt sooo soft this morning. :D
I do want to write out what the sticker label in English said since it's very informative:
Cure Natural Aqua Gel
No fragrance, No colouring, No Preservatives
Made of 91% Activated Hydrogen Water
Gently remove layers of dry, dead or rough skin.
Suitable for all skin types.
(Rinse type)
Directions for use:
1. Wash face thoroughly and towel dry well.
2. Pump nozzle 3 to 5 times to obtain an appropriate amount of gel on your hand. (I found I only needed 1 or 2.) Apply gel to face, neck, or other areas that are dry and rough. Applying gel to only part of your face is also effective.
3. Gently massage your face in a circular motion till the gel turns white (do not rub skin too hard) Rinse well after you have removed the dead skin.
4. After rinsing, continue with your regular skincare regimen with use of lotion or skin cream.
5. For best results, use Cure Natural Aqua Gel twice a week.
There are also cautions listed to not apply on problem areas with rashes or irritation and to use within 1 year of opening the bottle, probably since there are no preservatives.
I also want to mention that I will be doing a full blog post on the Urban Decay 24/7 waterproof liquid eyeliners with swatches of all the colors very soon. :)
As for the Waterproof FAIRYDROPS mascara, I did see it online at Sephora last week but it has since disappeared. I know they do plan on carrying it soon though, so I will keep you guys updated and try to find out exactly when that will be.
This image is of FAIRYDROPS Platinum Waterproof mascara which has the same packaging and I think it's the same product under a different name for Asia, so if you want it now then try this version out! I spotted it on Pinky Paradise here and I know it was on Sasa but I don't see it there anymore. Feel free to leave in the comments where else to find it.
Hope you enjoyed watching this month's favorites! For August I plan on going to the drugstore and loading up on some more readily available makeup, so if you have any good recommendations for something to include in a highly-requested drugstore look, please let me know in the comments!
For the record I never choose items in a monthly review based on if I got it from a company or not (I simply grab what I honestly tried that month right before filming), but I do feel like I should do one just for you guys since I know it's not easy to find some of the Asian products or higher-end products that I talk about.
Readers, please let me know your recommendations of drugstore items for next month's video! ^_~

i love the suave dry shampoo too! sometimes i feel the scent is too much..but it goes away after awhile anyway so it doesn't bother me that much :)
ReplyDeletei have been looking for cure everywhere for the past year... hong kong, korea, and even japan! well.. my friend helped me look in japan and she couldnt find it. I think im just going to suck it up and buy it from the carousel website.
ReplyDeleteHello, I've been reading your blog lately which I like a lot. I was wondering if you've tested the Klorane dry shampoo? I've heard it's a good product but I wanted to have your feedback on this if ever you know sth about it.
Thanks in advance ;)Awww, I've been waiting for you to post this blog post ever since you uploaded the video because I wanted the link to where to buy the fairydrops waterproof mascara. I need that mascara so badly!! Is the platinum one definitely as good as scandal queen? I'm on a super budget right now and don't want to splurge unless its worth it.
ReplyDeleteI'm about to blacklist and stop watching any videos where you recommend products or your monthly favourites. Last month, you told me not to lose hope if I want to get the UD 15th anniversary palette and there, I didn't lose hope and got it once it was available on Sephora because your reviews are alwayyys so honest XD Now, I want to get everything you suggest in this video, but can't because I will ruin myself. Ah... Jen.
ReplyDeleteI have to check out those Urban Decay liquid liners; they look great! I love all your reviews. Where did you get the top you're wearing?
ReplyDeleteSome drugstore favorites:
*Milani baked blush (I love Corallina)
*Maybelline gel eyeliner
*Revlon colorbust lipstick (I love Coral, which is a bright orange-red)
*WetnWild eyeshadow (esp the Comfort Zone 8-pan, and Silent Treatment 3-pan)
*Milani liquif'eye eyeliner (it's a UD 24/7 dupe)
*Maybelline the falsies mascaraOh yes, I've heard good things about the Milani baked blushes so I would love to see that in action. Luminoso and Dolce Pink are the colors I'm interested in.
ReplyDeleteAlso, L'Oreal Le Gloss in Golden Splash and Peach Fuzz. The colors look really vibrant and they don't seem to be too sheer so it looks like you can get some good color payoff. They also don't seem to be too sticky but I've only ever swatched at the store and haven't tried them on my lips. Thank you!
ReplyDeleteI loved the fairydrops mascara, I am due to buy another one...but again im in the uk so its hard to get hold of..
tzeyien89.blogspot.com xxxYou have me interested in that face gel! I just bought my face cleanser, so it will have to wait! I would love to get an update after you have used it for a month!
Are you still using the Josie Maran Argan Oil? If so, how is it working for you? I have stopped using mine for about a week now. I developed a horrible zone of cysts on my left jawline. Not sure if the oil caused it or not..or maybe just me putting too much on. :/ I despise cysts...they are so painful! :(I would love if you would focus on some natural drugstore products for next month! Please please!

Maybelline's Eye Studio Gel Eyeliner: long wear, no smudging, and the brush that it comes with actually works! Comparable to the MAC fluidline and Bobbi Brown's gel liner, but it's like $8.
ReplyDelete Hi Jen,
For some HG drugstore makeup suggestions, I really like the Revlon Colorstay foundation in 180 Sand Beige. I've actually been mixing it with my Skin79 hot pink bb cream and it's a great combination. Also NYC's Color Wheel Mosaic Face Powder in 'Pink Cheek Flow' is a great blush with different shades of pink. And for lips, Revlon Colorburst Lipsticks are great and moisturizing. Oh, and I'm not sure if this counts but Neutrogena's makeup remover towelettes (both the regular blue and night calming purple packs work well) are SO good at removing makeup, and waterproof mascara - really quick and easy.Oooh I will be all over the Urban Decay 24/7 Waterproof Liquid Eyeliners!! Thanks for the review :)
As for drugstore items, I like the following:
- Maybelline The Falsies waterproof mascara in Very Black
- Rimmel Moisture Renew lipstick in 140 Dreamy
- Revlon Colorburst lipstick in 075 Peach
- L'oreal Lineur Intense: I used this eyeliner while I had eyelash extensions because it's oil-free, and was impressed with how well it went on and didn't move throughout the day. I stopped doing extensions since then and am back to my Mac Liquidlast liner.
- Neutrogena oil-free makeup remover/your recommendation for the best drugstore eye makeup removerI came across your blog through your YouTube site. You are so cute! Let me know if you are interested in doing a link exchange. I'm a Korean-American fashionista who also has a blog.
stop by, and leave a comment to let me know you were there!Drugstore favorites:
Maybelline Superstay Foundation
Boots #7 Intelligent Balance Mousse Foundation (Only at Target)
Maybelline Chai Latte Quad
ELF Complexion PerfectionMost DEFINITELY Revlon's ColorStay foundation. Here's a bit of a tip though, if you have combo skin, you should try the Dry skin formula. I have combo skin and I find the Combo skin formula makes me oily half-way through the day. The dry skin one doesn't though. I google'd it and some people online agree. Also ELF's contour palette (comes with a blush and a contour color) is awesome!!!
ReplyDeletecan you do tutorials on the following?
- makeup organization. i have tons of stuff, but can't find anything when i'm in a hurry and end up just using the same few items. do you use clear boxes, baskets, shelves?
- how to wash makeup brushes. and tips to dry them properly.
thanks!Hi Jen, have you tried the majolica majorica mascara? I'm a new blogger and I would really appreciate it if you can drop by!
ReplyDeleteFor drugstore, you should try maybelline FALSIES in Drama Black WP mascara!!! See if you like.
ReplyDeleteplease try either the maybelline liquid mousse foundation or the revlon photoready foundation ^^
ReplyDeleteI had this Cure product and I must say it really improves my skin condition. But beware not to overuse them and if i am not wrong, they only have a shelf life of 6 months. Use it over body will be good too!
ReplyDeleteGreat post! I love suave shampoo, they have such great scents!
styleworthwhile.blogspot.comTry maybelline falsies wp mascara! Holds my curl like crazy! Also i have been loving matte mousse foundation with a small kabuki application! I have oily/eczema skin type abd not bothered by either---

So the Natural Aqua Gel is now in YesStyle, too :) http://www.yesstyle.com/en/cure-cure-natural-aqua-gel-250g/info.html/pid.1021608837. This product popularity is obviously growing fast!
ReplyDelete The Cure gel is quite amazing.
Although it made my face quite red, works great on the body :)

Ah, the terrible twos: in between those heart-warming moments of wonder and devotion are those tantrums over having to put socks on that define this year of development. But the latest research shows that if those outbursts continue past the terrible twos, they may be a sign of poorly developed language skills.
In a new study published in the journal Child Development, researchers draw links between communication skills that kids develop as toddlers and the emotional development that occurs during early childhood. The findings suggest that language and vocabulary at the earliest ages may lay a foundation for emotional regulation among children as they enter preschool and beyond.
(MORE: The Bright Side of Anger: It Motivates Others)
Psychologists at Penn State followed 120 young children, first surveyed as toddlers at 18 months, and then visited or interviewed them every six months until just after their fourth birthdays. The researchers tested and assessed the children's early language skills, including their vocabulary when talking at home with their parents. Periodically, they would also test how well the kids dealt with frustration and anger, by presenting each child with a shiny gift-wrapped bag, closed with a ribbon. The kids were told they had to wait several long, boring minutes before they could open it. Then the researchers would watch the children's reactions.
In the paper, the authors say that there's good reason to suspect a link between language ability and managing emotion. They write:
[Y]oung children who acquire language quickly and well should be able to think about rules ("Mommy said wait"), to communicate needs calmly (language mitigates the need to express needs nonverbally), and, when needed, to sustain a shift of attention rather than focus on something they cannot have (language enriches the content of the activities, such as pretend play, that distract the child from the desired object or activity).
In fact, the results of the study seem to bear out that suspicion. "We found that toddlers who have stronger language skills than other toddlers, and whose language skills develop faster over time, tend to be better at regulating frustration when they're preschool aged," says Caroline Roben, lead author on the new study and now a postdoctoral researcher at the University of Delaware.
(MORE: To Really Read Emotions, Look at Body Language, Not Facial Expressions)
In particular, Roben says, the kids with good communication skills may be better at finding outlets for their frustration. By age 3, those kids with more developed language skills could ask their mothers calmly about a possible end to the waiting. Less developed kids, meanwhile, were ready to throw a fit, getting fussy and squirmy or otherwise acting out, presumably because they had less satisfactory ways of expressing their frustration in words. By age 4, the kids with more developed language were better at keeping themselves amused without toys — by talking and counting, or otherwise playing games by themselves.
Roben and her colleagues found the relationship occurred among both boys and girls, although in general, girls tend to develop language skills slightly faster than boys. In order to account for socioeconomic factors that could affect language development, the scientists enrolled children from households with roughly the same level of income, above the poverty line but below the national household average.
(MORE: More Sleep Means More Focused, Emotionally Stable Kids)
The findings suggest that children with stronger language skills may be better behaved as they get ready to enter preschool because they have the tools to describe and express their emotions, as well as stronger tools to cope with and distract themselves if they start to feel unhappy.
The scientists note, however, that it's possible that rather than setting the stage for angry or aggressive behavior, slower language development may be a consequence of youngsters who are more angry and frustrated to begin with, possibly because they are distracted or because adults don't enjoy interacting with them as much. It's also possible that some still unidentified developmental process drives both the development of language skills and emotional growth.
(MORE: Want a Less Fussy, Easier-to-Sooth, Kinder Child? Make Music!)
Given the strength of the findings, however, Roben and her co-authors believe that it's likely language has some impact on emotional development, and she hopes her findings could lead to interventions that improve kids' emotional learning and potentially avert behavioral problems among youngsters.
"It's well recognized these days that emotion regulation is important for success in school," Roben says. Kids who can sit still, follow instructions and play well with their peers tend to get better grades than kids who are frequently distracted and aggressive.
Parents too might benefit from knowing about possible links between communication skills and basic emotional regulation. Not only is it a reminder that the terrible twos will eventually come to an end, it might also help parents focus on activities to advance their toddlers' development.
"When you're doing things to promote [your children's] language skills, their verbal world, you may be doing something to promote their emotional development as well," she says.

When the call came from an officer who needed help facing an armed robber at a fast-food restaurant, two members of a reality television show riding along with Omaha police hustled to record the confrontation.
In the chaotic scene that unfolded, one crew member was struck by "friendly fire" from one of the officers, a bullet slipping past his bulletproof vest and killing him, Omaha Police Chief Todd Schmaderer said Wednesday. The robbery suspect was also killed. The weapon he was carrying turned out to be a pellet gun, though it looked and sounded so real that both witnesses and officers were fooled, Schmaderer said.
Bryce Dion, 38, of Boston, the audio supervisor for "Cops," is the first crew member of the long-running TV show to be killed while filming police in action, executives with the show's production company said. Police identified the robbery suspect as 32-year-old Cortez Washington, who was on parole from Missouri for a robbery conviction.
Schmaderer told reporters that police and prosecutors have reviewed the "Cops" video of Tuesday's shooting and found that the officers "had no choice" but to open fire, though a grand jury will still be tasked with investigating.
Schmaderer said the incident began when drive-thru customers alerted Detective Darren Cunningham — on his way to a different robbery scene in midtown Omaha — to an armed robbery at a Wendy's. Cunningham called for backup, and Officers Brooks Riley and Jason Wilhelm — along with Dion and a "Cops" cameraman — arrived at the restaurant within 15 seconds, Schmaderer said.
The "Cops" crew followed the officers into the restaurant. There, police confronted a hooded and masked man. The cameraman darted into the dining area, crouched behind a low wall and held up his camera to record the confrontation. But Dion didn't make it past the glass-enclosed entrance to the restaurant. Almost immediately, Schmaderer said, the suspect raised his gun and fired twice.
Schmaderer said three witnesses described Washington firing his gun directly at Cunningham and Riley. "The witnesses described hearing the suspect's handgun being fired and seeing the slide recoil with the shots," he said.
Officers returned fire, hitting Washington, who still managed to run from the store. Officers continued firing as Washington — his gun still pointed at police — entered the glass vestibule, Schmaderer said. It was then that a bullet hit Dion in the chest, Schmaderer said.
Washington collapsed in the restaurant parking lot.
After the shooting, police discovered that Washington's weapon was an air gun that shoots only plastic pellets.
Washington's criminal record included an accessory to robbery conviction from Missouri for which he was on parole. He moved to Nebraska in September 2013, and his parole was due to expire in June 2017.
"Cops" started on Fox in 1989 and is now shown on the Spike network. According to the "Cops" website, the show has been filmed in at least 140 U.S. cities and three foreign countries.
Langley Productions President John Langley and Executive Producer Morgan Langley described Dion as talented — "one of our best" — who had worked for the show for seven years.
"He did something that he loved and was passionate about," Morgan Langley said. "We've been very fortunate over the years; we've never had an incident like this. Now we're dealing with it, and it's a very sad day for us."
In 2010, a TV crew for the A&E reality show "The First 48" recorded a Detroit police raid in which a 7-year-old girl was accidentally killed by an officer. That incident highlighted concerns about whether TV cameras influence police behavior, perhaps encouraging showboating. But some experts and officers believe TV crews increase accountability.
Schmaderer bristled at the suggestion that his officers overreacted knowing that cameras were recording them, calling it "absolutely ridiculous."
The police chief said he accepted the invitation from "Cops" to film in Omaha in the name of transparency. "Personally, I will live with this forever," Schmaderer said. "If I'd have known that this would happen, of course, I wouldn't have done it."

Compilation album: Singular Genius, Concord Records, 15 November 2011.
Sid Feller produced the tune with strings and choir.
It's one of the very few tracks that Ray remixed later "because he hated the strings on the original mix".
Mediagraphy - Discography - Trackography - Videography - Gigography - Biography - Chronology
The Ray Charles Video Museum is a research project, documenting live performances by The Genius.
This blog is above all a Mediagraphy. It's also a discography (or, more correctly, a trackography), aggregating all tunes that Ray sang and/or played - including the "canon" of 700 tracks listed on the official Ray Charles website, but also identifying the songs that have never been officially released, and e.g. the recordings of other artists, where Ray backed them on piano. Thirdly, this blog has evolved into a multimedia Chronology (click the years in the panel al the top of this page) of Ray's productive live.
I also try to do some justice to the more than 1,000 great musicians and singers who contributed to Ray's career (1, 2).
The Quotes page lists the wisest, craziest and funniest things that the Genius ever said. If you want to read more about Brother Ray, go here.

Kenseth wins 2nd 'Chase for Sprint Cup' race
Published 1:09 am Monday, September 23, 2013
LOUDON, N.H. (AP) — Matt Kenseth made it 2 for 2 in the Chase, holding off teammate Kyle Busch to win Sunday at New Hampshire Motor Speedway.
Kenseth followed his win in the Chase for the Sprint Cup championship opener at Chicagoland with his series-high seventh victory of the season. Kenseth made his 500th career start and maintained his points lead as the series shifts to Dover.
Kenseth and Busch made it a 1-2 finish for Joe Gibbs Racing for the second straight week and helped the organization win for the fourth time in the last five Cup races.
Chase drivers filled six of the top 10 spots. Greg Biffle was third and Jimmie Johnson fourth. Dale Earnhardt Jr. was sixth and Carl Edwards ninth.
Kenseth joins Biffle (2008) and Tony Stewart (2011) as the only drivers to win the first two Chase races. Stewart went on to win the title.
Kenseth won for the first time at New Hampshire and moves on in the No. 20 Toyota to Dover, where he's a two-time winner. He led 29 laps there earlier this year before an engine failure ended his day.
"For me to win at Loudon, it's more than a stretch, more than a dream," Kenseth said. "This is probably one of my worst places. This just shows you how good this team is."
JGR, with Busch, in the past has dominated the regular season, but dropped off considerably once the Chase began. Now they've carried over their success into the Chase and are a credible 1-2 threat to give Toyota its first Sprint Cup title.
"There's somebody faster so it doesn't matter how fast I am," Busch said. "
JGR has won five of the last seven races dating to Busch's win at Watkins Glen in August. Kenseth won at Bristol, Busch took Atlanta and Kenseth won the last two.
Kenseth has obliterated his season best for wins. His previous high was five in 2002 and Kenseth won only once in 2003 when he won the Cup championship.
While NASCAR has been smacked with scandal, Kenseth has quietly gone under the radar doing what he does best: winning races. He has 31 wins in 500 starts.
"It's been a great start for JGR," Kenseth said. "I just feel like the luckiest guy in the world to be standing here."
Chase drivers took spots 13-17: Kurt Busch, Joey Logano, Jeff Gordon, Ryan Newman and Clint Bowyer. Kevin Harvick was 20th and Kasey Kahne slammed the inside wall with 48 laps left and was 37th.
Kenseth took the lead from Bowyer with 92 laps left. Martin Truex Jr., whose future is in limbo after NAPA dropped its sponsorship of Michael Waltrip Racing in the wake of the NASCAR scandal at Richmond, led a race-high 98 laps.
Jamie McMurray was the highest non-Chase finisher in fifth place.

LYON, France – At the request of Libya, INTERPOL has issued Red Notices for the former Libyan Minister of Interior, Al-Senussi Alozyre and for Naser Al-Mabrouk who served as his Deputy, who are both accused of a range of offences including carrying out illegal arrests, unjustified deprivation of personal liberty and torture.
Details of the two suspects have been circulated to all 190 INTERPOL member countries and INTERPOL's Fugitive Investigative Support (FIS) unit is now liaising closely with National Central Bureaus (NCBs) in North and Western Africa to ensure that border control points are alerted to their wanted status.
Head of INTERPOL's FIS unit, Stefano Carvelli said Libya's request for the Red Notices was further evidence of the country's ongoing commitment to the rule of law.
"Through issuing Red Notices, INTERPOL continues to support Libya in their efforts to target and arrest those individuals who have committed serious crimes and in ensuring that they are brought to justice to face the charges against them," said Mr Carvelli.
INTERPOL's FIS unit, supported by officers from the Middle East and North Africa sub-directorate and the 24-hour Command and Coordination Centre, is working with NCB Tripoli and other potentially involved countries in order to locate and arrest the two fugitives.
Since March 2011, through the publication of Orange Notice global alerts against a number of Libyan nationals, including members of Colonel Gaddafi's family and close associates, INTERPOL has been warning member states of the danger posed by the movement of these individuals and their assets following the sanctions established by United Nations Security Council resolutions 1970 and 1973 (2011).

In hindsight, the defense seems to have blundered by portraying Mr. Libby as the "fall guy" for others in the White House. That didn't do enough to rebut Mr. Fitzgerald's theory of the case, and so the jury seems to have decided that Mr. Libby must have been lying to protect something. The defense might have been better off taking on Mr. Fitzgerald for criminalizing political differences.Since the defense made this decision, it's hard to see why Bush would be motivated to pardon him.
We believe [Bush] some personal responsibility for this conviction, especially for not policing the disputes and insubordination in his Administration that made this travesty possible.I really don't understand how these asserted shortcomings connect to lying to a grand jury. He was convicted of perjury. Whatever you think of the Plame affair and the whole investigation, why should Bush condone that?

Breast Prosthetics
At Hunt Orthopaedics, we have two dedicated female Orthotists with a special interest in the fitting of breast forms and mastectomy undergarments, and each client is individually measured and fitted in a friendly, caring and professional manner.
Although many women who choose a mastectomy (removal of the breast) consider reconstructive surgery, others may choose an external breast prosthesis.
A breast prosthesis can recreate the appearance of a breast shape under clothing and can also help to improve your balance and posture, which may be affected after a mastectomy.
Lymphedema Following a Mastectomy
What is the lymphatic system?
The lymphatic system consists of many vessels that carry lymph fluid throughout the body. Lymph is a clear, colourless fluid containing water and a few blood cells; it originates in many organs and tissues. The lymphatic system is part of your immune system. It helps to protect and maintain the fluid environment of the body by filtering and draining lymph and waste products away from each region of the body.
Often during a lumpectomy or mastectomy, some or all of the lymph nodes under the arm may be removed. The lymph nodes under the arm (also called the axillary lymph nodes) drain the lymphatic vessels from the upper arms, the majority of the breast, the neck, and the underarm regions. The lymph nodes help to filter excess fluid, bacteria, and by-products of infections.
What is lymphedema?
Whenever the normal drainage pattern in the lymph nodes is disturbed or damaged (as often happens during surgery to remove the lymph nodes), severe swelling of the arm may occur. Radiation may also damage lymph nodes and cause swelling of the arm. This swelling, caused by an abnormal collection of too much fluid, is called lymphedema. The swelling can be noticed in the arm, chest, and breast area on the side of surgery.
When the lymph nodes under the arm have been removed, a woman is at higher risk of lymphedema for the rest of her life. Lymphedema may occur immediately following surgery, or months or years later. Not every woman who has a mastectomy will experience lymphedema.
There are several types of lymphedema. The acute, temporary, and mild type of lymphedema occurs within a few days after surgery and usually lasts a short period of time. The acute and more painful type of lymphedema can occur about four to six weeks following surgery. However, the most common type of lymphedema is slow and painless and may occur 18 to 24 months or more after surgery.
How is lymphedema diagnosed?
- There are no specific diagnostic tests for lymphedema. The doctor will complete a medical history and physical examination. The medical history may include questions regarding the following:
- Past surgeries
- Problems following the surgeries
- Onset of symptoms (When did the swelling appear?)
- History of edema (severe swelling)
- Current medications
- Other medical conditions, such as high blood pressure, heart disease, or diabetes
What are the symptoms of lymphedema?
The main symptom of lymphedema is swelling of the affected arm. The degree of swelling may vary. Some people may experience severe swelling (edema) with the affected arm being several inches larger than the other arm. Others will experience a milder form of edema with the affected arm being slightly larger than the other arm.
In addition to swelling of the affected arm, the following are the most common symptoms of lymphedema. However, each individual may experience symptoms differently.
Symptoms may include:
- Feeling of fullness or tightness in the affected arm, chest, or armpit area
- Aching or pain in the affected arm
- Swelling in the hand (may be evidenced by rings that no longer fit)
- Weakness in the affected arm
- The symptoms of lymphedema may look a lot like other medical conditions. Consult a doctor for a diagnosis.
Treatment for lymphedema
Treatment for lymphedema depends on the severity and extent of the condition. Prevention and controlling lymphedema play an important role with this condition since there is no cure.
Treatment may include the following:
- Exercise. Exercise helps to restore flexibility and strength, and improves drainage. Specific exercises will be recommended by your doctor and/or physical therapist.
- Bandage. Wearing a customized compression sleeve or elastic bandage may help to prevent an accumulation of fluid.
- Arm pump. Applying an arm pump often helps to increase the fluid flow in the lymphatic vessels and keeps the fluid from collecting in the arm.
- Diet. Eating a well-balanced diet and controlling body weight is an important part of treatment.
- Keep the arm raised. Keeping the arm raised above the level of the heart, whenever possible,
allows gravity to help drain the accumulated fluid. - Prevent infection. It is important to follow preventive measures, such as good skin care, to
protect the affected arm from infection and skin breakdown. - Breast cancer patients who perform good skin care and exercise properly after mastectomy are less likely to develop lymphedema.
Preventing and controlling lymphedema
Protection of the arm on the side of the surgery is very important after breast surgery. Poor drainage of the lymphatic system may cause that arm to be more susceptible to infection and less sensitive to extreme temperatures. People who have had surgery to remove lymph nodes in the arm pit should be aware of those activities that put too much pressure on the affected arm.
Protective measures to avoid injury and infection include:
- Make sure that all injections are given and blood tests are drawn in the unaffected arm.
- Do not wear nightgowns or clothing with elastic cuffs.
- Carry your handbag or heavy packages in the unaffected arm.
- Use an electric shaver when shaving underarms.
- Avoid sunburns and other burns to the affected arm.
- Make sure that all blood pressure tests are done on the unaffected arm.
- Wear gloves when gardening and when using strong household detergents.
- Clean the skin of the affected arm daily and apply lotion. When drying the arm, be gentle, but
thorough. - Keep the arm elevated when possible.
- Do exercises regularly to improve drainage, but first consult with your doctor or physical
therapist. - Eat a well-balanced, low-sodium diet.
- Avoid extreme hot or cold temperatures on the affected arm, such as heating pads or ice
packs. - Take proper care of the fingernails and avoid cutting cuticles.
- Clean all cuts with soap and water, and then apply antibacterial ointment and a sterile dressing.
- Protect your fingers from needle pricks and sharp objects. Use a thimble when sewing.
- Avoid vigorous, repetitive movements against resistance (such as scrubbing, pulling, or
pushing) with the affected arm. - Notify your doctor immediately of any signs of infection, such as redness, pain, heat, increased
swelling, or fever.
Talk to your doctor about what you can do to try to prevent lymphedema from happening to you. If lymphedema does develop, let your doctor know right away. There are things you can do to try to keep it from getting worse.

Learn & Live: Grain industry hazards lead to deaths, injuries each year
Posted on Sep 6, 2013Sixty seconds. That is how quickly a worker can be completely submerged in flowing grain. More than half of all grain engulfments result in death by suffocation.
In 2010, at least 26 U.S. workers were killed in grain engulfments, the highest number on record. Among the deaths were two Illinois teens and a 49-year-old worker who had entered a grain bin "a million times."
In the past 50 years, more than 900 cases of grain engulfment have been reported with a fatality rate of 62 percent, according to researchers at Purdue University in Indiana.
Record death and injuries in 2010, led the U.S. Department of Labor's Occupational Safety and Health Administration to reach out to the agricultural and grain handling industries to find ways to prevent deaths and injuries. OSHA also developed a Local Emphasis Program for Grain Handling Facilities focusing on the grain and feed industry's six major hazards. These include engulfment, falls, auger entanglement, "struck by," combustible dust explosions and electrocution hazards.
"OSHA is working hard to change the 'it won't happen to me' mindset," said Nick Walters, OSHA Regional Administrator for six Midwestern states. "Grain handling injuries and deaths can be prevented if employers follow proper safety procedures."
Suffocation can occur when a worker becomes buried by grain as they walk on moving grain or attempt to clear grain built up on the inside of a bin. Moving grain acts like "quicksand" and can bury a worker in seconds. "Bridged" grain and vertical piles of stored grain can also collapse unexpectedly if a worker stands on or near it. The behavior and weight of the grain make it extremely difficult for a worker to get out of it without assistance.
OSHA and the Grain and Feed Association of Illinois have formed a state-wide alliance to get the word out on prevention. A grain bin entry permit has been developed to aid those working in and around bins to identify and control potential hazards.
"This alliance is an opportunity for OSHA to work together with the grain and agricultural industries and the agricultural community to train employers and workers about the unique hazards of the grain and feed industry," said Walters. "Through training, decals, brochures, websites, and other means of information communication, we will continue to work to improve awareness of these hazards and the safety and health of workers on Illinois farms and in grain handling facilities. We are committed to preventing the injuries and deaths that have been too frequent in the industry in recent years."
OSHA, the Grain and Feed Association of Illinois and the Illinois Grain Handling Safety Coalition have also developed a stop sign decal to adhere to grain bin doors using pictures and short phrases reminding entrants to lockout potentially hazardous equipment, stay clear of waist high grain, cover floor holes and to follow other best practices. Individuals or companies can email the Grain and Feed Association of Illinois at firstname.lastname@example.com to request the decal, which is pictured above.
OSHA has also published information related to common grain industry hazards and abatement methods, proper bin entry techniques, sweep auger use, and many other grain related topics at www.osha.gov/SLTC/grainhandling/index.html. OSHA's Grain Bin LEP is used in 25 states.
In addition, the University of Illinois was awarded a U.S. Department of Labor's Occupational Safety and Health Administration Susan Harwood Training Grant Program and has partnered with the Grain Handling Safety Coalition for the development of training materials and outreach to educate workers and employers on how to recognize, avoid and prevent safety and health hazards in grain bins.
The Grain Handling Safety Coalition can provide all the necessary training materials to train farmers, commercial grain handling employees, youth, rescue workers and more for free or at a very reduced rate. There are five different safety topics available including an overview of grain handling and storage safety, grain bin entry as well as entanglement, fall and confined space hazards. GHSC also offers "Train the Trainer" courses for companies and communities to have a local resource for training. More information is available at www.grainsafety.org.
To ask questions, obtain compliance assistance, file a complaint, or report workplace hospitalizations, fatalities or situations posing imminent danger to workers, the public should call OSHA's toll-free hotline at 800-321-OSHA (6742).
Under the Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970, employers are responsible for providing safe and healthful workplaces for their employees. OSHA's role is to ensure these conditions exist for America's working men and women by setting and enforcing standards, and providing training, education and assistance.

As they're being told, we're pointing to some of the stories about the 12 people who died and the 58 who were wounded when a gunman opened fire on July 20 at a movie theater in Aurora, Colo. Click here to see more. As you see others, please share the links in the comment threads.
Today, we also want to single out The Denver Post's weekend package on the "Heroes Among Us":
"Inside the theater, some froze and many ran. They were human. There is no disgrace in that.
"But sitting amid the crowd, Jon Blunk did not freeze, and he did not run. Instead, he quickly pushed his girlfriend to the ground — to safety — then shielded her from bullets that took his life but not hers. Across the theater, others — Matt McQuinn, John Larimer, Jesse Childress and more — were just as selfless.
"Even as the gunman continued to shoot, even as fear was at its strongest, the theater was awash in courage."
That's how the Post's main story in the package sums up the stories of courage and bravery from that awful night. Some of the other pieces of that package:
-- " Aurora college student thought of mom, Greek philosophers."
-- " Aurora survivor, son of a pastor, put life on the line for a mom, kids."
-- "17-year-old theater shooting survivor showed 'strength of 10,000 men.' "
-- " Two friends faced with a choice decide to stay and help."
-- " Movie-goer ran into theater 9, rescued teenage girl after massacre."

What is full of ooey-gooey, other-worldly, chocolatey sin but is the most easy dessert on the planet to make and will fool the lucky people who get to eat it into thinking that you are the greatest baker who ever lived? THIS CAKE.
Part of me wishes that I had never discovered how to make these precious little molten chocolate cakes, because shortly after a recent dinner party, I found myself clawing through the pantry for ingredients to make them again (Unfortunately, we had everything I needed). Not my proudest moment! And, to top it off, the scale hasn't been very forgiving since then. But, with newfound self-control (sort of), here I present to you the greatest and, truthfully, the most simple and sinfully delicious dessert in the world.
Unlike souffle, this one doesn't involve perfect timing or careful monitoring. It's very quick and easy to prepare, is more impressive than any cookie, brownie or cake, and will have everyone begging for more. As it is, my husband is already wondering they all went… And he doesn't even like sweets!
Mini Molten Chocolate Cakes
- 1 cup unsalted butter or unsalted margarine
- 8 ounces semisweet chocolate chips or bars, cut into bite-size chunks
- 5 large eggs
- 1/2 cup sugar
- Pinch of salt
- 4 tsp. flour
- 1 6 oz. container raspberries
- ¼ cup powdered sugar
- Melt butter and chocolate in a medium heat-proof bowl over a saucepan of simmering water, or in the microwave for about 1:30. Remove from heat. Whisk eggs, sugar and salt in a medium bowl until sugar dissolves. Beat egg mixture into chocolate until smooth. Mix in flour until just combined. (Batter can be made a day ahead; return to room temperature an hour or so before baking.) Put ¼ cup powdered sugar into a small bowl and set aside.
- Adjust oven rack to middle position. Heat oven to 450 degrees. Line a standard-size muffin tin (1/2 cup capacity) with muffin papers. Fill each cup to the top with the chocolate mixture.
- Bake until batter puffs but center is not set, 8 to 10 minutes. Carefully lift cakes from tin, pull papers away from cakes and transfer cakes to dessert plates.
- Sift powdered sugar lightly over each plate. Top each cake with a few berries and serve immediately (I recommend a side of vanilla ice cream!).
- Enjoy!
