Commentary on:
Implications for practice and research
Pressure ulcers (PUs) are common and often occur in older persons and those with multiple comorbidities.
Patients with hospital-acquired PUs (HAPUs) have longer hospital stays and higher rates of morbidity and mortality; therefore, prevention and early detection are important priorities for nursing care.
Interpretation of epidemiological studies of PUs is difficult due to variances in data collection methods and PU classification employed, making cross comparisons between clinical sites challenging.
Development of HAPUs is considered an adverse event.1 Thus, the incidence of HAPU is commonly used as a quality marker for healthcare facilities. One …

Update: Watch the broadcast here.
On Thursday, September 15, 2011, Esther Brimmer, Assistant Secretary for International Organization Affairs, will hold a conversation with Ellen Laipson, President and CEO of the Stimson Center, on "Multilateral Diplomacy and U.S. Global Leadership." The discussion will be moderated by Cheryl Benton, Deputy Assistant Secretary for Public Affairs, and streamed live on DipNote, the Department of State's official blog, at 2:45 p.m. (EDT).
You are invited to participate by submitting questions, some of which will be selected for response during the live broadcast. Submit your questions below on DipNote.
Assistant Secretary Brimmer and Ms. Laipson will discuss "Multilateral Diplomacy and U.S. Global Leadership" in preparation for the 60th annual United Nations General Assembly. Given the transnational nature of current international threats and challenges, multilateral cooperation has become essential to U.S. foreign policy. As the world increasingly turns to the UN to address trans-border issues, U.S. participation in the UN is key.
Through Conversations With America, leaders of national nongovernmental organizations have the opportunity to discuss foreign policy and global issues with senior State Department officials. These conversations aim to provide candid views of the ways in which leaders from the foreign affairs community are engaging the Department on pressing foreign policy issues. From Afghanistan to India, the New Strategic Arms Reduction Treaty (New START) to the President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR), and internet freedom to world water issues, the Conversations With America series showcases how both the U.S. Government and civil society are working across the globe on issues that concern Americans most.

Ashim C. in India writes:
South Asian countries like India and Pakistan have been suffering from terrorist violence at an escalated scale recently. What are the possibilities of a strengthened SAARC system as a multilateral regional institution to check further escalation of internationally funded tewrrorism and roll it back as much as possible as a multilateral response mechanism under the auspices of UN as US prepares to withdraw from Afpak region? This is an important question because it is doubtful that Afghan governannce mechanisms by themselves would be adequate post US withdrawal and two flourishing economies abutting Afghanistan, Iran and China, which are incidentally both authoritarian states, which are likely to be more interested in entrenching their short and long term commercial and strategic interests rather than promotion of democracy and democratic institutions building in Afghanistan... Problem also is SAARC has a great deal of potential, which matches and can possibly exceed that of ASEAN... but as of now SAARC is far short of it's potential and needs as much support of international community with US in forefront as ASEAN has got. One's sense is that there indeed is need for a strong multilateral regional institution to tackle and take on terrorism if needed in South Asia. And what happens here can be a model for other hot beds of terrorism

With the success of the rebels in Libya and the key role played by the US and our NATO allies; Do the results of our efforts with our allies in Europe and on the ground signal a new turn for US policy for intervention on behalf of democracy?
Eric in New Mexico writes:
@ Esther Brimmer, Ellen Laipson,
It seems to me that the international community, working within its various fora and mechanisms; is burdened by paradox of its own manifestation as many current engagements would indicate.
The paradox between national agendas and the human agenda and the lack of practice of the philosphical underpinnings of civilization creating paralysis in moving humanity forward in social, economic, and political evolution "in greater freedom".
Let's just accept the given that such status quo mindset that seeks to block resolution that are put in blue to resolve crisis generally are party to this conundrum.
I know I may stand on the far side of US foreign policy in saying this, but if Palestinians wish to create a state;
First they have as much right in asking the UN to help them create their own as the Jewish nation had in asking the UN to create their's back in '48.
Fair's fair..and compromise is the basis for peace and fair lasting diplomatic success, generally speaking.
Mideast peace then becomes based on mutual recognition of the state's right to exist, and the people's right to govern the actions of their governments.
So I'm going to pose resolution to the sticky wicket, and ask that in this conversation with America folks consider whether Israel's recognition of, and support in, creating a Palestinian state as they petition to do so in the UN; would in turn bring about universal general recognition of Israel as a state (with every right to exist) by all the nations in the region and beyond that currently do not.
And that a political will to compromise can make it so, if human interests be honored in the process.
Thus creating a climate for the parties to return to the table to hammer out the details, with this mutual understanding as the basis.
Why the US gov. can't turn what we oppose because of hypothetical negaive results of the parties getting back to the table and finding agreement; into something that works to get folks to a point of proper attitude going into it is a bit of a mystery to me.
I don't pretend to have all the answers, but as the failure to recognise may be the initial basis for conflict from the start, then mutual recognition may be the only path to peace the parties have at present.
And so I have to ask why my government seeks to block Palestinian statehood when a "two state solution" has been US policy for quite some time now?
I mean it's one thing to tell Abbas that there's "no free lunch"...but 'cmon folks, you guys must be creative enough to turn your perceptions of a negative into something positive...if "diplomacy is the art of the possible".
Convince me please.

Connor N. in Pennsylvania writes:
Seth D. Jones's "in the Graveyards of Empires" addresses the US's war in Afghanistan and Iraq as wars that we should have finished off, but due to a lack of resources and our transfer of military and diplomatic resources from Afghanistan to Iraq we still fight in Afghanistan today among disgruntled Arab youth nationalists. Obviously Europe has become accustomed to the US's regional Hegemony and will simply pass the buck as the US does all the brunt work. As Foreign Affairs has pointed out: Europe's defense spending continues to be nearly negligible compared to the US's. How much longer will the US be willing to act "unilaterally" and if a war with Pakistan is in the future as Seth Jones predicts, will the US be able to sidestep congress and the American people (yet again) in the US's seemingly endless and unilateral bout against terror?

Frederick K. in Illinois writes:
Disaster Relief, Sports competitions, Human rights and voting assistance/monitoring, military exercises &interventions;, fancy State dinners, what gives US the most bang for the buck?
Dr. H. in Arizona writes:
As sure as we dropped bombs in Libya to topple a terrorist leadership in support for rebels we still know little about, it is clear our efforts backed factions comprised of The Muslim Brotherhood, Hamas and Al Qaeda.
Is this strategy designed to ultimately strengthen Israel's enemies to quicken their demise or was it just mean-spirited ignorance?
We are not fooled by wars started by presidents that spend our treasure without the approval of congress. Its hideous.
Israel used to be our friend. Our only friend in the Middle East. What is it about Obama that we must now live with embarrassment for his disdain of our allegiance to them?
The Bizzaro world where our enemies now fight our foreign policies for us and we build up our enemies to kill off our friends is alive and well. Will we continue to allow this administration to stay in power with such misguided plans or do we stand up and rid the world of this kind of leadership?
L.M. in Missouri writes:
There are many concerns regarding a Palestinian statehood, while most countries around the world, and humanitarian agencies talk of Israel with distain. Why is it that no one ever discusses The Hamas Charter? It begins with an introduction followed by 35 Articles, referring to the 36th Article as an Epilogue titled, "The Hamas Are Soldiers." Every Article discusses Nonbelievers, which includes anyone who does not share their specific beliefs, including support of this Jihad. They proudly declare that the Jihad will continue until all Nonbelievers no longer stand on holy ground. Article 13 should be of particular interest to every country, organization and person who does not trust Israel; There they explain that the "so-called peaceful solutions and the international conferences to resolve the Palestinian problem, are all contrary to the beliefs of the Islamic Resistance Movement."
Please explain why The Hamas Charter, which appears to be a terrorist manifesto much like Mein Kampf was Hitler's, is not questioned or publicly discussed among the leaders of media?

@ EJ in new mexico - Well said -
If the past 50 years has shown us anything is that policies everywhere from around the world have been a failure. Continuing failed policies are not going to cut it anymore.(if we collectively around the world want a better future.)
Not all Palestinians support Hamas the way many try to spin it - Just like many Israelis do not support BN.
In some respects the failings to deal with the Palestinian issue for so long has given birth to Hamas.
What will continued failed policies produce in the future? (think Hamas is bad?)
The Palestinians are often painted as the fundamentalist. However the state of Israel is completely religious. What kind of person moves from the relative safety of western nations, to what is a front line of a war?
A fundamentalist.
While some bang on about Muslim fundamentalist - we have exported our own fundamentalists to Israel (they cause problems for other Jews not just Palestinians)
What kind of peace can we have when we export fundamentalists to such an area?
Seems to me, the best way of preventing settlement building is to disallow these people from traveling from America, Europe, Russia and if they do - strip them of citizenship and put them on a no fly list.
Israel has supreme responsibility in this and should not welcome such fundamentalism if they truly care about peace and security for Israel.
Fundamentalists of all types are a danger to peace and security of every nation.
Not all fundamentalists are Muslim.
Eric in New Mexico writes:
@ John in Canada,
Thanks for thoughts, I kind of look at this Palestinian/Israeli cluster...(*) as more like a really dysfunctional long-term marraige and another annaversary has come;
"We've been married since time immemorial and it's amazing we've had only one fight this whole time we've been together, and even mora amazing it's still going on."
Ah, but for a lack of "get a grip"....
The US has perpetually been like a good friend to both, trying to bust up a domestic dispute whenever they threaten to burn each other's house down, and urban renual will come, one way or another, squatter's rights or no.
Folks either learn to share the land or "forgettaboutit".
The world toaday has been demarked in national boundaries in such a way that the past tends to catch up with the international community as folks deal with long term conflict and dispute (the Durand line between Pakistan. and Afghanistan as one example), from lines on a map drawn up in a previous century in diplomatic compromise and the leftovers from the colonial era.
Granted, most folks just want a place they can call home and not be messed with, and I doubt that Kurdish aspirations will cease to exist until the nations of the region give them the space to create one, having donated it to create contiguity to resolve a problem long present in the region.
I'm drawing loose comparison with an equally long struggle for unless Israeli's have forggoten thier history, they would have the least grounds to object upon to a people creating a homeland next to them.
And likewise no Palestinian has grounds they may stand on to deny Israel's right to life, liberty and country while they seek to create and build a nation of their own, in their own image.
This shouldn't be a big freekin' deal...knowing it's a given for successful negotiations between the parties.
But whether folks can apply the logic of this is another question entirely, and that's what I'm hoping folks will discuss tommorrow.
Lee Ann in Pennsylvania writes:
International colleagues and friends have heard frequent anti-Obama rhetoric via international newspapers and TV, and have expressed concern that the American people do not seem to support our own president. How does the left/right split in our country, and the accompanying negative rhetoric and absence of a centrist perspective impact our ability to be a global leader?
Melissa in Maryland writes:
I hear U.S. officials say the UN is an essential but flawed organization. If it is flawed, why is it still essential? What is being done to address its flaws?

Stylist from NYC's Red Market Salon Named Split Ends Fan Favorite
After being featured on the Style Network's Split Ends last year, Red Market Salon's Arsenio Amadis recently won the Fan Favorite award. During his appearance on Split Ends, Amadis traded places with a stylist from a strip mall salon in Arizona—quite a change from his post at one of New York City's most buzzed about late-night salons! He was then invited back to participate in The Big Cut Off, an elimination-style episode of Split Ends that aired last weekend. Congrats to Amadis, whose passionate personality led to him receiving the most viewer votes in a poll conducted on MyStyle.com, the Style Network's website!

My friend Jane and I met for dinner last week andhad a good laugh about death. California's political campaign seasonis just commencing, and we were discussing, in an offhand way, whatmy husband, an attorney, might have made of an upcoming ballotproposition were he still among us.
"It's amazing that he's still dead," I said,without quite knowing what I meant. Simultaneously, Jane and I letout a roar, a "yipes!" of astonishment, as people do when they touchsomething hot, or come too close to the sitra atra, what kabbalists call"the other side."
"It's a bore, isn't it!" Jane said, rising to theoccasion. "Still dead, after all this time."
Jane's father, Harold, is still dead, too. He diedyears ago of a painful illness. He was a large, strapping formerfootball player who exuded robust physicality and wisdom. One ofthose men who add extra wattage to the earth's light.
"It's impossible that he's really gone," she said."I want to say to my father: 'Enough already. I've learned to livewithout you. I'm not mourning anymore. It's safe for you to comeback.'"
It's yet another yahrtzeit, this one No. 11. Andstrangely, I, too, feel safe. The brutal purple blossoms of thejacaranda tree no longer assault my eyesight as they did years agoafter the funeral. Our daughter, Samantha, has burst out of childhoodand is almost ready to drive a car. The icicles of loss don't shiverdown my grieving back anymore.
And Burton himself is ancient history: He diedbefore the advent of fax and modem (though he was among the first toown a car phone) or self-stick postage stamps. We are living in twodifferent worlds, he and I, the Before and the After. The dead don'tgrow or expand their horizons, you know.
But they do call to us, in their own time. Andeach May, at yahrtzeit, death comes for a visit, bringing its ownpots and pans to prepare its own food, much like my grandfather, whokept kosher, long ago. Death drinks its schnapps out of a yahrtzeitglass and sits down at the table to talk for the 24 hours or so untilthe candle of memory is consumed. And I, like a character in a Kafkashort story, wait on death and clear the crumbs of its wisdom off thetablecloth, trying to glean a message from this force beyond mycontrol. As a temporary visitor, death has its charms, afterall.
By an accident of the Jewish calendar, Burton'syahrtzeit always falls around Mother's Day. The conjoining of the twoby now seems right to me, though it is hardly the sappy vision ofsuburban complacency that the makers of Hallmark cards had in mind.Each year, I try to choose which to honor, birth or death. Butinevitably, the two come together, in the mixed bag that islife.
That last Mother's Day, Burt called our cousinWillie from the hospital and had her buy me a necklace of tourmalinehearts. I sat with him on his narrow bed, the hearts stared upthreateningly to me. Two days later, Burton was gone, and my life asa single mother began.
But death has always been present at my family'sMother's Day. When I was a child, my mother spent the day in a kindof mournful haze, recalling her own mother who had died when Mom was12. She felt cheated, and there was nothing I could do to make up forit. Death sat at our breakfast table, where my brother and I servedour mother homemade pancakes. She was appreciative, but distant.Dead, my mother was thinking. Still dead.
Eventually, and far too young, I learned about theperils of love and the cost of personal connection that is the truehuman dilemma. We spend a lifetime building a network of comfort andstability with parents, siblings, children, doomed to fervid mourningwhen they're gone. The reward for loving well is grieving well. Thecost of weaving is in the tear. We live in the here and now, but thesitra atra isalways close by.
As we studied last week's Torah portion, Tazria,the laws of childbirth, the rabbi asked for a show of hands: Whoamong us in the sanctuary had never suffered miscarriages, abortions,infertility? Who among the rest had not yet lost a parent or asibling? We are all experienced in the litany of grief. We stand inthe shadow of those who are still, still dead.
Our modern world, of course, is notoriouslyuncomfortable about death. Not for us -- the washing of the body, thesitting with the corpse, the acknowledgment that this end will beours. All we've done is suppress the truth. It comes out obsessively,ridiculously, inopportunely. Why do we endlessly watch the funeralsof Princess Diana and Mother Teresa? Why do we cry at the death ofPaul McCartney's wife, Linda? It's easier to hurt for the grievingBeatle than to serve the memory of our own.
I prefer the Chassidic way, and the tales thatgive death the power and the majesty it is due.
Here, for example, is the 19th-century story ofRabbi Loew, who tried to subvert the Angel of Death. One day, theAngel of Death came into Rabbi Loew's town near Yom Kippur. Hecarried with him a long scroll on which was inscribed the names ofthose synagogue members who were to die by plague in the coming year.The rabbi confronted the Angel of Death and ripped from his hands thescroll. He tore off the list, throwing the parchment into the fire.Almost every one was saved; but one name was left on the scroll, andit was his own.
I like this guy: He knew what the odds were. Butat least he went out fighting.

Messy Medium Laid Back Hairstyle
The hairstyle is a little shy of Hugh Jackman's standard Wolverine/Logan look sans the muscular neck and wide jaw but the â??do alone by X-Men already has a solid fan base. The hair has a body and wave that looks natural so they appear thick, full, and relaxed. The hair is partition off the center, each section flaunting sexy billowy layers of dark brown with lighter brown emphasis. This matinee idol hairstyle is cool and seductive on men with a sense of sensuality.

U.S. Men Looking to Improve World League Record
Erin Campbell
Intern, Media Relations and Publications
Phone: (719) 228-6864
E-Mail: email@example.com
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (June 9, 2010) – The U.S. Men's National Volleyball Team hopes to improve on its 0-2 record after two disappointing losses to Russia in the opening round of the 2010 FIVB World League on June 4-5 in Ekaterinburg.
On Monday, the U.S. Men traveled to Finland to play the host team on Friday (11:30 a.m. ET) and Saturday (11:30 a.m. EST).
The last time the two teams faced off was in the 2008 World League. In the four matches between the two squads, the U.S. only allowed Finland to take one set in each of three contests while sweeping them in one.
"We simply want to get better week-by-week during this World League," U.S. Men's Head Coach Alan Knipe said. "We are looking forward to playing better volleyball in Finland but we know that they are a better team than the one the U.S. played in the 2008 World League."
Outside hitter Riley Salmon (League City, Texas) led the U.S. Men in the first weekend, finishing with 26 points on 23 kills and three blocks. He is tied for 24th among all World League scorers. Outside hitter and opposite Matt Anderson (West Seneca, N.Y.) was close behind with 25 points (23 points, two blocks) good enough to tie for 27th place overall.
Middle blocker David Lee (Alpine, Calif.) is among the leaders in blocks with five in seven sets, putting him 13th among all World League blockers.
Finland will play at home in Tampere after a two-match series in Cairo, Egypt on June 5-6 where it split the weekend 1-1 with the host country. Pacing the Finns was outside hitter Mikko Oivanen whose 35 points (33 kills, two blocks) placed him in eighth place among the league's best scorers. Opposite hitter Antii Siltala also placed in the top 20 when he finished with 32 points (27 kills, three blocks two aces), good enough for 11th place.
"We will have eight very tough matches against the USA and Russia during the next four weekends. Anything that is coming to us in those matches is fine, knowing that we will meet two of the world's top-level teams," Finland's head coach Maura Berruto said. "We will right in every set and then we will see how many points we get. We will play not thinking too much."
The U.S. Men have an overall record of 13-2 against Finland since 1978.

Drone killing must be examined
Penning suspected terrorists up at the Guantanamo Bay Naval Base in Cuba was a bad idea, President Barack Obama has said (although he has reneged on a promise to close the prison there). Making suspected terrorists think they might be about to die by drowning is wrong, his administration has held.
But actually killing people, including Americans, with strikes from remote-controlled drone aircraft – with little evidence, and no proceedings other than an OK from the White House – that's all right. At least, it is Obama's policy.
No one outside the White House, the intelligence community and some in the military knows how many people have been executed by Obama's order. The White House assures us the killings were necessary to safeguard Americans.
Some in Congress are not comfortable with the ethical contradictions in Obama's judge, jury and executioner drone policy. Lawmakers of both parties have expressed serious reservations, including reasonable ones about the constitutionality of executing American citizens without trials.
Good. Again, the validity of looking into executions by drone is indicated by the wide bipartisan nature of concern. Senators and representatives are right to be concerned about the scheme.
The president is apparently feeling some pressure on this subject. In his State of the Union speech Tuesday night, he made a vague reference to being more transparent with Congress about counterterrorism in the months ahead.
"I recognize that in our democracy, no one should just take my word that we're doing things the right way," Obama said.
Again, good, but of course he will be judged on what he does rather than what he says. It's worrisome that his choice to head the CIA, John Brennan, helped manage the drone program and defends it as more humane than bombs or artillery. Well, sure, but it's a heck of a lot less humane than monitoring terrorists, ending the war in Afghanistan, robustly defending ourselves from attack and taking the high road as a nation of laws and peace.
We think this program is morally dubious. When our government wields such power as these drones, the American people need assurance of accountability, responsibility and human respect, as described in our Constitution and Bill of Rights.
As of now, our government's rules of engagement for drone warfare seem pretty wide open.
Last year it was reported that the Obama administration reduced its "collateral damage" – an intentionally oblique term meaning innocent people killed alongside enemy targets – by redefining the term "enemy combatant" to include all males of combat age in whatever country they blasted with a drone strike. So after it targeted a building with one known terrorist and a bunch of other people, all dead males between, say, their teens and their 40s would be lumped in as enemy combatants, not innocents, although they may have done nothing offensive to our country. There's no way such practices can be described as just warfare.
Now a report by the United Nations' Committee on the Rights of the Child says that in the four years since Obama became president, the U.S.'s escalated war in Afghanistan has killed children numbering into the hundreds, "due notably to reported lack of precautionary measures and indiscriminate use of force." The report noted that drone airstrikes were part of that.
In addition to collateral damage, evidence suggests some of the people intentionally killed with drones are not what most Americans would consider enemies of the state. In a lengthy July 2012 article in Esquire magazine, Tom Junod tells of Abdulrahman al-Awlaki, a 16-year-old native-born American citizen. The boy lived in the U.S. until he was 7, when his father, Anwar al-Awlaki, moved the family back to Yemen and started preaching hatred against the U.S. Anwar, also a U.S. citizen by birth, was killed by a targeted drone strike in September 2011. Two weeks later, a separate drone strike killed Abdulrahman – a minor who hadn't seen his father since he was 14 and who had never been charged with a crime.
Even if you approve of the current drone warfare, you have to admit that it's a much bigger deal than one would know from talking to Americans on the street. Too few of us think about or discuss these killings, which are carried out in our name. It's part of a wider, sad ignorance; we like to forget we're a nation at war.
It's also disturbing that the drones are over our heads in training flights, invisible and inaudible, operating out of a base in Syracuse. They aren't armed, but could they be in the future? And could, at some point, law-enforcement officers be allowed to tap into their spying capability? It's hard to say, since federal policies on this kind of thing have evolved along with technology. Would the Fourth Amendment's provision against unreasonable search and seizure prevent that? So far it isn't preventing the New York City police's robust stop-and-frisk and spying efforts.
We should all be talking about this more, first. Second, we should tell our representatives in Washington that the Executive Branch needs more checks and balances with regard to drones.
"We must enlist our values in the fight," the president said Tuesday. Yes, more than we do now.

Youth-conscious ladies are flocking to these outrageous anti-aging treatments.
Open any gossip or beauty magazine and you�ll find a gorgeous celebrity swearing by some outlandish, bizarre or unusual anti-aging treatment. You might think, �Hey, her skin looks amazing�something must be working, right?!� Well, it might also have to do with her organic diet, good genes and daily use of SPF-50, but sure, there�s truth to some of these wacky nonsurgical treatments, like creams made with diamonds and eyebrow-raising blood facials. Here are six of the latest jaw-dropping beauty bets to try (or laugh at) in the quest for youthful skin. RELATED: The Most Outrageous Facials Vampire Facial�� This needle-y treatment gives the saying �no pain, no gain� a whole new meaning. The bloody facial�made famous by Kim Kardashian when she underwent the procedure on camera�starts with getting less than an ounce of your blood drawn, which is then spun in a centrifuge to extract the platelet-rich plasma. Next, using a pen-like device, the plastic surgeon produces small puncture wounds on your face and topically applies your blood. It sounds downright medieval, but going vampy is said to stimulate collagen and elastin as well as enhance skin color and texture. Just make sure your doctor is certified with the Vampire Facial trademark to ensure a certain standard of care, recommends the facial�s inventor, Charles Runels, M.D., of Life Stream Medical in Mobile, Ala. Gold Skincare It�s been said that Cleopatra slept in a gold mask to maintain her beauty. Was the Egyptian Queen on to something with her gold standard? Denise Richards thinks so. The Bond girl known for her flawless skin is the new spokesperson for Oro Gold Cosmetics, a luxurious line of anti-aging products infused with 24-karat gold. According to Oro Gold, the precious metal stimulates bioelectrical impulses in the body that promote collagen and elastin fusion inside the skin, causing radiant results. The gold-infused creams come with a hefty price tag, however�$200 per bottle. Diamond Creams Diamonds certainly are a girl�s best friend, but there�s another way that bling is making ladies happy these days�by staving off the signs of aging. Several beauty companies, such as Natura Bisse (Natura Bisse Diamond Extreme, $345, neimanmarcus.com), are creating these luxe topical elixirs to let your skin shine bright like a diamond for years to come. Stem Cell Facial This facial has gone cellular�stem cellular, that is. Spatique Medical Spa�s Golden Stem Cell Facial�($225, spatiquemedicalspa.com) in Smithtown, N.Y., for example, infuses dry, mature, sun-damaged skin cells with genetically flawless stem cells to produce healthier, brighter, younger-looking skin. To enhance the benefits of the stem-cell therapy, the aestheticians also apply a 24-karat gold mask (there�s that gold again!) to stimulate blood circulation and boost collagen production. The stem cells are thought to treat everything from hyperpigmentation to rosacea and inflammation. Placenta Regime It may sound super �ick,� but celebs like Jennifer Lopez swear by these protein-rich facial formulas as the secret to glowing skin. Not only is topical placenta said to be good for hydration, but dermatologists, such as Harold Lancer, M.D., F.A.A.D., of Lancer Dermatology in Beverly Hills, say the facials provide a noticeable lift to the skin and are even beneficial for acne-prone skin. What�s more, you can maintain your results post-treatment with an at-home cream, like Nature�s Beauty Placenta Creme ($20, amazon.com), which contains nutrient-rich placenta, along with other skin-conditioning ingredients. Acupuncture Facial You�ve heard of acupuncture for your body. Now the ancient Chinese treatment is specifically targeting your fine lines. Acupuncture facials, such as the East West Facial at Ona Spa in Los Angeles ($225, onaspa.com), are like a natural form of Botox. Nothing is injected into your face; only very thin acupuncture needles are applied to relax the facial muscles, increase circulation and boost collagen. Sign us up! Brought to you by: Spry Living

>Runner's World - My Event Ratings>
In short: Good, but room for improvementIn full: This is the 3rd year I have run this race, but only the first year I have felt the need to write a review. The route, atmosphere, marshalling, signage and PB potential are all very good. My issue is with finish.Due to the narrow access road you finish on there isn't much room for improvement, but I do think the foot path on the right needs to be opened up once you cross the finish line. This gives runners somewhere to slow down and spread out, instead of forcing us to stop suddenly after the finish line. What makes it worse is the fact you are then shouted at to remove your timing chips. I was asked 3 times in the space of 10 seconds for my chip, the last person was very rude. Some of us would like 30 seconds to slow down after a run, walk about for a bit and then you can have my chip. There is no need to be so pushy about it.If the chip collection was moved to the exit of this car park, you could allow runners to slow down naturally, take their time and grab a drink before you hand your chip in. People won't be able to get past you, so there is no danger of losing any chips.Date of review: May 5, 2015
In short: Decent fast race.In full: This is the second year I have run the Shinfield 10k and I have to say on the whole I wasn't disappointed. I'll start with the positives.The route is very good, and they do well to avoid the major roads and take in some of the countryside in the area. Chip timing is a major plus for me and it's nice there is a fate as well for the non-runners and children to enjoy. This really adds to the day and makes for a family day out. There are loads of marshals about cheering you on, as well as locals stood outside their front doors. Having constant support is a big plus.The minor issues I have with the race are these. This event is getting so big now, it's clearly outgrown the space they use for the start. There is barely enough room for the runners at the start/finish and although they have done a decent job of not allowing spectators into the back where the toilets and bag drop off area is, once the race has finished it's very short of space. I think a new start/finish point will be required.Not having the race numbers and chips posted out in advance was also a disappointment. This meant we all had to arrive well in advance and then 760 runners are stood around with nothing to do for well over 30-50 minutes. Had this been raining, it would have made for a miserable start to the race. I'd like to see these numbers and chips posted out in advance.The final point is about not wearing headphones. Unlike some events Shinfield clearly tell you well in advance that you can't use headphones (unlike Swallowfield 10k last year when they told you at the start line). That said I cannot see any reason why we can't use them. The first part is on a closed road, then through fields and a quiet housing estate and then quite country lanes, back through a field and that earlier housing esate. I saw one car over take me, and with plenty of marshals about to wave you through, I can't see why headphones are banned. I use my iPod to tell me my pacing information per mile, so having to look at this device is more distracting that listening to it. Even if I could use one headphone that wouldn't be so bad. I run on open roads on other races without issue, and this just smacks to me of someone with a little bit of power letting it go to their head, or H&S gone mad. Despite these minor issues, it's still a great race and I will be taking part again next year. Hopefully it will continue to grow and improve over time. Date of review: May 6, 2014
In short: Dangerous when it's muddyIn full: Don't get me wrong I enjoy a challenge and I like to push myself when running. But in all honesty this race should have been canceled.Due to all the recent heavy rain large parts of this route where nearly impassable due to the thick mud. Within the 1st k, you enter the forest on a narrow path and everyone has to take avoiding action of the mud and each other. This nearly lead to several people coming together and I'm amazed there weren't any accidents.Later on there was a long grass section which was so soaked with water every time you put your foot down it slipped away from underneath you. Very dangerous with a high risk of injury. Shortly after that there was another steep hill covered in thick mud which a marshal warned us about. Basically everyone walked up that through the tress either side. No danger of doing much running.If your going to organise a race in a forest don't arrange one at the start of the year. Wait until July or August to due the risk of it being wet and muddy.Avoid.Date of review: April 28, 2014
In short: Could be so much betterIn full: This was a decent enough event, and with a bit more thought could have been so much better. The route is well marked and marshalled. The setting is very nice and having closed road is always a nice bonus. I do think that they should straight line the finish a little bit more instead of having to make two turns off the road. But I'm nit picking now.The problems I found were with the parking. There is a large open field between the start and finish line, so it's ideally positioned. That said there was no urgency by those in charge to get cars in and parked. The queue was back onto the main road and you could tell people were getting annoyed and frustrated, as they just wanted to get in, parked and start warming up. My second complaint was regarding the "no music" rule. We were all told on the start line that we could not listen to music on the route or face being disqualified. There was no mention of this on their website or in the booklet they sent out once you had signed up. It's a bit late in the day to be telling 400 people this. There were loads of annoyed people running the route with headphones wrapped around their wrists, and there was no need for this either. With closed roads there was zero traffic, and besides you are running on country lanes not main roads. Fix the parking and let us listen to music and this could be a really great event.Date of review: September 24, 2013
In short: Poor organisationIn full: I was really looking forward to this race. In pleasant surroundings, away from traffic and a nice flat course. Sounds like an ideal 10k run for after work. And all those things are true, however the race was ruined for a group of runners who were held up getting to the event because of the heavy traffic in the village of Pangbourne. This meant there was a group of 10-15 runners rushing to get to the start line. People needing the toilet who had to wait in line behind non runners. And to rub salt into the wound they started the race knowing full well there were people still waiting to get to the start line. For the sake of waiting 1 more minute everyone could have been in place. This meant those of us starting at the back had to muscle are way past hundreds of slower runners at the start which as it turns out is the narrowest section of the course. What a complete joke. We had a similar thing at the Tadley 10k earlier in the month and the starter was decent enough to hang on for 30 seconds.Will I do this race again. No, and I won't be recommending it either.Date of review: August 1, 2013
In short: A good first 10k runIn full: This was my first timed 10k run. Well organised and a nice atmosphere. The course gets you to run past the start where loads of people are there to cheer you on which can really give you a much needed boost. Will be doing this one again for sure.Date of review: January 13, 2013
In short: One too many long hillsIn full: Seemed strange to start in the road, when there is a sports field next to the road. Also the end was in the middle of a road, and it seemed too cluttered when your trying to finish a race, the last thing you want is a medal given to you and your timing chip taken from you. The route is based in the countryside, but there are two nasty long hills one of which is right at the end.Date of review: January 13, 2013

Here's how RW members rated this race in the past (203 votes).
In short: One of the friendliest racecsaDate of review: December 14, 2009
In short: Lovely run, with great views from the top of the Hogs Back. Date of review: December 14, 2009
In short: better communication at start with regard to starting posistion etc, had to over take lot of runners due to bad starting posistionDate of review: December 14, 2009
In short: Great race - Good FunIn full: Good hills sections and some super flats.Date of review: December 13, 2009
In short: Good but couple of niggly problemsIn full: This was a good course for a challenging, yet fun, race. The views in a couple of places were good and the hills were excellent downhill and challenging up. The race was let down in a couple of ways, the small number of portaloos at the start caused problems, as did not having enough water, meaning that some runners did not get any water until the finish. To their credit, the organisers immediatley placed an apology for both points on its website and considering this was the 50th renewal of the event, I'm assuming that there are not usually problems like this.Date of review: December 13, 2009
In short: Really enjoyable race, the hill wasn't that bad!In full: This was my first time and I came away having really enjoyed it. The 3 mile hill really was not that bad, not too steep and a few flat bits on the way up. It seemed to be only 7.86 miles or there abouts, but never mind! Would definitely do this race again.Date of review: December 13, 2009
In short: Great hill at start and nice one at the end too. A worthy challenge for most.In full: A good challenge. Main hill was about 2 miles long, then some steep downhill running. Nice touch at the end with the mile or so uphill again to the finish line. There was a bit of a problem along one stretch of road where there was heavy traffic very close to the 850 runners on and amazingly some runners who felt they could squeeze through impossibly small gaps between other runners and vehicles on that same road...what were they thinking!?.The event could benefit by having some sport drink sponsorship there too or something a more in the goodie bag than leaflets and promos. Well worth another go though and reasonable value.Date of review: December 13, 2009
In short: Challenging route with lovely viewsDate of review: December 13, 2009
In short: Amazing views; challenging hillIn full: Nice route, good atmosphere, challenging hills and rewarding fast downhills.Slight downside in the lack of water at the water station, but to be honest I didn't need it - too cold!Date of review: December 13, 2009
In short: 6th time, BRILLIANT, slightly amateurish feel which really makes it greatIn full: Awesome route - view from the top of the Hog's Back was phenomenal this morning - misty sunshine across the North Downs :-) I love this run - as i say "slightly amateurish" in things like the crowd babling away and then being caught out by the starting gun - brilliant !! Some moans about number of toilets, but otherwise parking, collection of numbers, MARSHALLING, baggage transport and location is spectacular. Looking forward to another 50 years - i wish ! Personally, i wouldn't want anything different.Date of review: December 13, 2009

Penfield soccer forward Lahcanski adds to family's list of Division I college athletes
Ivana Lahcanski and her family have an idea about what Division I college athletics are like.
Lahcanski, a senior at Penfield, signed a letter of intent to play women's soccer on scholarship at Fordham University in New York City last week. She has a brother Nikola, who is a senior fencer at Duke in North Carolina and a sister Taline, who is a sophomore gymnast at Brown on Rhode Island.
A four-year member of Penfield's varsity, Lahcanski probably will be an outside defender at Fordham, but said she can and does play other positions, including at forward.
"I've played every position except goalie," Lahcanski said. "I've gotten used to all of them, and like all of them."
Tough to top: Mike Ruff, the Fairport-based promoter who moved the second Bishop Kearney-Aquinas regular season boys basketball game to downtown Rochester, was encouraged by an attendance of 4,553 for the game on Feb. 1.
What Ruff would like to do next is set up a girls-boys basketball doubleheader next season at the Rochester Community War Memorial at the Blue Cross Arena. The idea of a Penfield-Gates Chili girls, followed by a Bishop Kearney-Fairport boys matchup has been
brought up with athletic directors at least two of the schools.
Ruff admits that it could be difficult to match the attendance for this season's Bishop Kearney-Aquinas game downtown. Both teams were state-ranked and played into double overtime in their first meeting.
"It was the perfect storm," Ruff said. "It's going to be hard to top.
"There is a chance that (next year's proposed doubleheader) might come before a (Rochester) Razorbacks
Ruff laughed how his promotion of Aquinas-Bishop Kearney centered around the tall players from both teams. The star of the game of course, was 5-foot-11 Chrisitian White, who made seven 3-point shots.
Aquinas won 65-57.
Tip of the cap: It was published that Hilton sophomore wrestler Vincent DePrez finished sixth last year as a first-time qualifier at the state championships.
DePrez actually placed fourth. The three-time Section V Class AA champion is 43-0 this season.
Audible for college plan: Webster Schroeder senior Parrish McKnight hoped to enroll and begin workouts
with the football team at State University of New York at Albany during the current semester at the college.
McKnight said that won't be possible, he has missed too many classes. The 2011 All-Greater Rochester Football Team selection said that he will enter Albany on Aug. 4 as a free safety. McKnight played quarterback, defensive back, running back and receiver during four varsity seasons at Schroeder.
"There is a possibility that I'll be changed to running back," McKnight said.
Fairport futility on ice: The music inside the Fairport ice hockey team's dressing room at The Sports Centre was cranked to another level after the Red Raiders shut out Pittsford 2-0 on Feb. 4.
"We haven't gotten a win over them in (at least) four years," Fairport goalie Mark McEvily explained. "The team is doing awesome right now.
"We're in so much in-sync."
Fairport then extended its win streak to 15 games the next day, with a 7-1 win over Bishop Kearney/Wayne/East Irondequoit Eastridge.

Guyana Coast Guard Lt.Col. Gary Beaton greeted the High Speed Vessel Swift when it arrived at port in Georgetown, Guyana at 9:30 a.m., August 29, 2010. In a visit coordinated by the U.S. Embassy's Military Liaison Office, members of the Swift will participate in "subject matter expert" exchanges with the Guyanese Coast Guard and other services here. The U.S. Navy is deploying the HSV Swift to Central America and Caribbean Basin to conduct "subject matter expert" (SME) exchanges and orientations from May 2010 to September 2010. The ship came from Barbados and will continue on to the Dominican Republic after visiting Guyana.
On Sunday, the ship's commander, U.S. Navy Captain Kurt Hedberg, a New York native, explained the purpose of the ship's visit to local reporters: "We have shared interests in security and common concerns," he explained. "We will share best practices and ideas on how to deal with those common concerns during our two-week stay here."
The leaders of both services met and talked together, along with the Embassy's Military Liaison Office Commander, Col. Tod Furtado and Lt. Marlon Chichester, the "subject matter exchange" officer for Guyana's Coast Guard. Chichester represents the bridging of the two cultures and is uniquely suited to coordinate the exchanges, as he is a graduate of the U.S. Coast Guard Academy, class of 2005.

Commissioners were bothered by an audit that questioned handling of money in 2006.
By RITA FARLOW, Times Staff Writer
Published August 24, 2007
Pinellas County commissioners voted unanimously Tuesday to approve grants for six projects aimed at boosting tourism throughout the county.
But one controversial event didn't make the final cut.
Commissioners declined to approve a request from the Tarpon Springs Chamber of Commerce for funds to promote the 2-year-old Water Sports Carnival at Craig Park.
"I don't support it because of all of the controversy surrounding it," said Commissioner Susan Latvala. "It puts us in a very precarious position."
The event, held in 2006 and 2007, was billed as a revival of a popular winter carnival put on by the city in the 1920s. To help publicize it, the Tarpon Springs chamber applied for funding through a St. Petersburg/Clearwater Area Convention and Visitors Bureau grant program intended to promote new events that will draw tourists, and their dollars, to the county.
The chamber received $30,000 in grant funding from the visitors bureau for the 2006 event and $40,000 for the 2007 event.
Eight months after the bureau approved the second grant, Pinellas County auditors released a memo that questioned how the funds were handled the first year.
In the April 2007 memo, the Pinellas clerk of the circuit court's internal audit division said there was a conflict of interest because chamber president Theajo "TJ" Davis profited from the event. Her company, River Graphic, contracted with the chamber to provide promotional materials for the carnival.
Davis said she stepped in to fill a need. When the chamber was unable to find a printing company that also would distribute the materials, she said she offered to take on the project.
Davis said she charged the chamber a small markup to cover the cost of tasks such as distributing posters and hanging signs. The chamber's board knew about the deal and approved it, both Davis and the board chairman have said.
But the memo said Davis may have overcharged the visitors bureau for the markups and additional sales tax.
In response to the findings, the visitors bureau added a conflict of interest clause to grant contracts and requested that Davis reimburse $440 in sales tax overages, said Lee Daniel, assistant director of the bureau. Davis paid the $440.
Despite the controversy, the chamber's request was supported again this year by the Tourist Development Council, which makes recommendations to Pinellas County commissioners on how to best spend tourist tax proceeds.
To win a grant, applicants are supposed to meet certain benchmarks, including attracting tourists to the county, and increasing the length of stay and amount spent by those tourists.
But an economic impact study presented to the visitors bureau in July showed this year's Water Carnival drew about only 450 people. Davis disputes those numbers, saying attendance was closer to 1,200.
Daniel noted that part of the June event was canceled due to Tropical Storm Barry.
"The bottom line is the committee felt the event had merit and was worth the opportunity of investing in it one more year," Daniel said.
But Davis said she agreed with the board's decision not to support the funding request because the event didn't meet its goals and objectives.
"If you're giving people that kind of bad news (about low turnout), you're not expecting them to fund the third year," she said.
Without the grant, plans for the 2008 carnival are up in the air, Davis said.
Tarpon Springs business owner Tim Dorr, who presented commissioners with an outline of his opposition to the grant, said he felt he had a duty to make the board aware of auditors' findings.
"It's up to citizens to keep an eye on the government and make sure that taxpayer funds are not being misused or abused," Dorr said.
Dorr is engaged in an ongoing civil suit with Davis and the chamber. He said he was pleased by the board's decision not to fund the event.
"I think the BCC sent a message loud and clear," Dorr said.
"Those that do business with Pinellas County need to do so in an ethical and honest manner."

PCLS to restrict lending for Marshall-Lyon County Library
MARSHALL – It's a question of policy, local and regional library officials said. However, it's also a question that could have an effect on services for library patrons in southwest Minnesota.
This week, the Plum Creek Library System, which provides shared programs and resources for public libraries in a nine-county area, announced it will be stopping its interlibrary loan services for the Marshall-Lyon County Library. PCLS Director Mark Ranum said the move came in response to the library violating the Plum Creek System's policies, by not sharing its materials to the fullest extent. But local library officials say they're just trying to provide the best service they can for Lyon County taxpayers.
Marshall-Lyon County Library Board President Will Thomas said this week that the Marshall-Lyon County Library, which includes the Marshall, Cottonwood and Balaton library locations, will continue to check out books and other materials to patrons. Materials will be able to be reserved from the library's own collection, and possibly through Minnesota's statewide interlibrary loan system, but not from other PCLS libraries.
Neither Thomas nor Ranum could say for certain how these restrictions would affect the library in the long run.
The decision to restrict interlibrary loans came from conflict over the Marshall-Lyon County Library's policy on lending out new books and other library materials. When the Marshall-Lyon County Library buys new materials, they are kept locally for a period of 90 days and then made available to borrow at other PCLS libraries. Thomas said the idea behind the practice is to help make sure local patrons have a chance to check out new or popular items.
For example, Thomas said, "If we buy a movie for the Cottonwood library, let's let the patrons whose taxes paid for the movie get the first chance to see it."
But Ranum said keeping new materials for three months violates the Plum Creek system's policies on sharing resources.
"That created a conflict with the other libraries," Ranum said. Holding a popular book for 90 days shrinks the pool of copies available to patrons throughout the Plum Creek system, he said.
"Our goal is to satisfy as many (requests) as possible," Ranum said. Marshall patrons also benefit from that kind of service, he said.
The Plum Creek Library System's circulation policies call for all member libraries to share their materials "to the greatest extent possible." The policies say libraries may keep new materials for "short periods," in order to make them available for browsing patrons.
"The language on lending for interlibrary loans is somewhat vague," Thomas said. The policies don't define what a "short period" is.
Ranum said the PCLS considers a "short period" to mean a few days to a week. Not all library materials are subject to the lending policy either, he said. Libraries may have some special collections that are not loaned out to other libraries.
Ranum said an action item passed by the PCLS governing board in October states that if a member library is found to be in an ongoing violation of Plum Creek's resource sharing agreement, it will be restricted from reserving materials from other libraries. That action item is now being enforced, he said. The restrictions on interlibrary loans will go into effect over the next two weeks.
"The issue is inequality in policy," Ranum said. It's not fair for a library to agree to share resources and then not comply with the agreement, he said.
Thomas said it's important that public libraries be able to keep some local control over managing their collections because they are funded by the communities they serve.
Thomas said he also wasn't sure if stopping interlibrary loans would also prevent patrons at other PCLS libraries from requesting books at the Marshall-Lyon County Library. PCLS serves 20 public libraries in nine counties, from Lincoln, Lyon and Redwood counties south to Rock, Nobles and Jackson counties. The libraries, as well as the cities and counties that support them, are all parties in the system's joint powers agreement.
"We are still willing to lend to other libraries," or to work out a more equal way for the larger libraries in the system to share the burden for lending materials, Thomas said.
Thomas said Marshall-Lyon County Library board members have not really looked into the ramifications of leaving the Plum Creek system, and Ranum said it's not in danger of being kicked out. Ranum said even with restricted lending, the library still receives delivery services, a computerized catalog system and access to state Legacy funding through PCLS.
Thomas said Marshall-Lyon County Library staff members will still help patrons reserve library materials to the best of their ability. He expected the library will still have access to MnLink, Minnesota's statewide interlibrary loan system.
But library board members will need to look at possible long-term solutions, he said.
"In the long run, we will try to provide the best service to our patrons," Thomas said.

Mother charged in fatal crash
FAIRMONT – A 26-year-old Fairmont woman whose 6-year-old son was killed in a car crash last month faces several counts of criminal vehicular homicide.
Alicia Marie Tapia reportedly had a blood-alcohol level more than twice the legal limit on the morning of March 3 when she rolled her vehicle on Highway 4. One of her three children involved in the crash, Amonte King, was killed.
According to information from the Martin County Sheriff's Office:
Emergency officials were dispatched to the scene of a car crash on Highway 4 shortly after 8 a.m. March 3. When police arrived, there was a vehicle in the east ditch with severe damage.
The driver was identified as Tapia. She was outside the vehicle receiving medical treatment. It was determined that two of the three children in the vehicle, including King, were ejected when the vehicle crashed. King was pronounced dead at the scene.
It was learned that Tapia was traveling from Dunnell, and a residence where she had been was contacted. A woman there said Tapia spent the night after a party, but had left a short time prior.
Tapia was interviewed at the emergency room. She told investigators she had been going the speed limit and was not sure what caused the crash. She also said her younger children had not put on their seat belts shortly before the crash, despite her ordering them to do so. Tapia said she was belted at the time of the crash.
A reconstruction of the crash scene indicated speed was a factor, and it was estimated that Tapia's vehicle was going about 81 mph when the crash occurred.
Tapia was interviewed again at the hospital in Rochester on March 4. She told investigators she had been babysitting while the people she was staying with went out on a date. Tapia admitted to drinking, but didn't remember how much she had. She said the people she was staying with came home around 1 a.m., and she decided to stay the night.
When she woke up the next morning, she gathered her children and left. Tapia again stated she was traveling the speed limit when the crash occurred, despite evidence gathered in the crash scene reconstruction.
The people Tapia stayed with in Dunnell also were interviewed. The duo said they had gone out on a date while Tapia watched their children. They returned home around 1 a.m. They said Tapia stayed up with them for a while, then slept over. Both believed driving while intoxicated could have contributed to the crash.
Autopsy reports show King died of a skull fracture that occurred during the crash and being ejected.
A 4-year-old child in the crash received a concussion and skull fracture from being ejected from the vehicle.
A 9-year-old girl in the crash suffered minor injuries. She told Human Services investigators she had been wearing her seat belt when the crash occurred.
Blood samples from Tapia sent to the state Bureau of Criminal Apprehension showed Tapia had a blood-alcohol level of .22 after the crash, well above the .08 legal limit.
Tapia faces eight charges of criminal vehicular homicide; six stem from alcohol being a factor in the crash. Four of the charges carry a maximum penalty of 10 years in prison and a $20,000 fine, while the remaining four charges of driving in a grossly negligent manner each carry a maximum penalty of three years in prison and a $10,000 fine.
Tapia also faces two counts of gross misdemeanor second-degree driving while impaired.

The featured speaker was Dr. Sam Shellhamer, whose presentation was on "Praise, Priorities, and Prayer." What is a planned gift? Typically, a "planned gift" is a gift made through a revocable trust or will, through gifts that provide lifetime income to the donor, or through more complex gifts of real estate and tax-deferred retirement assets. Why make a planned gift? Planned gifts are popular because of the financial flexibility and tax benefits they provide. They are also an effective means of Christian stewardship as they redirect assets to ministry that otherwise might be lost in estate taxes, capital gains taxes, or income taxes. How do I get started? Wheaton's Office of Gift Planning Services is pleased to help you plan your gift. Attorney Dave Teune is available to provide additional information and assistance. Call (630) 752-5332 or email Gift Planning Services at email@example.com. You may also contact your Regional Director of Development with gift planning questions.
