OZONE, as well as causing breathing difficulties, could give you cancer. Government researchers in the US have uncovered the first serious evidence that the highly reactive gas, which is used in industry and which forms photochemical smogs in summer, might be carcinogenic. Although British government advisers are playing down the findings, Germany's health and safety scientists are recommending that ozone should be reclassified as a "suspected carcinogen".
A study for the US Department of Health's National Toxicology Program, funded partly by the car industry, found "some evidence of carcinogenic activity of ozone" in female mice. Females that inhaled air containing 2000 micrograms per cubic metre of ozone for two years developed tumours of the lung and bronchial tubes at twice the rate of female mice that inhaled no ozone. Smaller increases in cancer rates were found among females exposed to 1000 micrograms per cubic metre.
Although the same exposures produced ...

Propane gas leak caused Md. house explosion
Updated: August 19, 2011 - 10:58 am
Fire investigators say a propane gas leak is what caused a house to explode Tuesday afternoon in California, Md., injuring two people inside.
The leak, located in a crawl space pipe, allowed the gas to collect and explode, officials say, but it's still unclear what ignited the gas.
About 1:30 p.m., emergency personnel responded to a loud boom coming from a two-story home in the 45900 block of Patuxent Lane in California, Maryland, according to Deputy State Fire Marshals.
Bystanders quickly looked for any occupants and helped two people from the home.
Responding officials found a side of the single-family home had been blown away and a fire burning.
Carol Andrews, 67, and Robert Andrews, 80, were both taken to St. Mary's Hospital Center for treatment. Robert was released with no injuries and Carol was transferred to Washington Hospital Center for burn injuries.
Debris from the explosion has been found as far as 100 feet away. Damages to the home and its contents are estimated at $400,000.

stand your ground laws
by, 04-13-2012 at 01:04 AM (392 Views)
Things seemed pretty stirred up about stand your ground laws. I went through the CCW course. From what I was told in Michigan the way the law works is you aren't required to flee from anywhere you are legally allowed to be, but if you chase after someone who went after you and ran away you would get burned legally. Its all on the agressor legal risks pretty much.
I do support the law. It always seemed stupid to me to force citizens to run away from criminals, I'd rather car jackers, rapists etc have it be as hazardous as possible to continue their profession.
I don't think I agree with the its always murder if you draw a gun and their unarmed.
I remeber how viscious bullies were growing up. I also remember people getting attacked by unarmed people in various situations.
One of them I remember particular was what I called the bully house incident which was many years ago. Basically there were some of the local bullies from my high school that had graduated recently decided they wanted to throw a party. They didn't have anywhere to hold it so they found a house that a pair of old people lived at. Ya know the usual folks with canes, weak and almost defenseless in a scrap.
They basically beat the snot out of them and kept them trapped in the basement for the weekend (I think one of them had a broken arm alsofrom getting thrown down the stairs in their basement) while they partied, got stoned etc until the cops eventually got wind.
They got quite a few years in prison. Judges love that kind of case.
Would I think that because they were unarmed it would of been manslaughter if the folks in the house shot them? Not really. They had a right to stand their ground and to defend themselves in my mind. At the time it would of been they case they would of been convicted most likely. No stand your ground laws then. Also if they had shot one of them the agressor would of been able to sue them for damages.
Lets say they wanted to use a non lethal alternative. If they had used pepper spray the ones in the stores are over the 3% legal limit, felony. Stun gun, felony there too etc.
When you say people can't defend themself with force if attacked by a stranger who is unarmed and you aren't allowed to stand your ground it favors the strong and the viscious in any situation.
Other issue I have is that a fight on the street isn't like on a playground where a teacher would pull someone off of someone. If you get knocked down in a scrap the other person who jumped you doesn't have to stop. They can keep going until you're maimed, dead, crippled etc.
One of my roomates friends in college had that happen, after the guy beat him down he got in his car and drove over his head. The kid lived but the brain damage was pretty extensive.
That being said I myself took martial arts, have usually done pretty well in scraps etc (except for my broken jaw I got once). If I was attacked by someone unarmed myself (as I have been in the past on a few occasions) it would be unlikely that I wouldn't try to duke it out or use joint locks etc. Theres kind of a guy thing where you would feel less manly not being able to duke it out.

Welcome to the Russian Studies Program!
Russian is the official language of 148 million people in the Russian Federation. It is also an invaluable tool for anyone interested in the newly independent republics formerly part of the Soviet Union: Ukraine, Belarus, Moldova, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Georgia, Armenia, Azerbaijan, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tadzhikistan, Turkmenistan, and Uzbekistan. The demise of the Communist Party has brought the 380 million citizens of the former Soviet Union into a wider world of politics, culture, economics, business, and commerce. A knowledge of Russian can be a valuable asset to students in virtually any major. Never have the Russians themselves been more open and eager to communicate with people from other countries who can speak their language.

On Wednesday, December 18, 2013 the Auburn Police Division
arrested Shamon D. Williams, age 21 of Opelika and Shatarious R. Cobb, age 21
of Auburn on felony warrants charging them with murder. The arrests are the result of an
investigation of a police report dated December 15, 2013 of shots being fired
at Jackie Lee's Bar, located at 2514 S. College. Both Williams and Cobb were developed as
suspects during the course of the investigation which eventually led to
warrants being obtained for their arrest.
Officers arriving on the scene of the shooting located two
victims suffering from gunshot wounds in the parking lot. Both victims were transported to the EAMC
Emergency room. A third shooting victim arrived at the emergency by personal
Marquez J. Patrick, age 20 of Opelika died as a result of the

Protective case aside, the press image reveals the front of the HTC Ones successor. In line with previous leaks, the photo showcases the smartphone in a black color scheme.

Ron Klempner Rumors
Ron Klempner, NBPA general counsel: Coming out of the 1995 [CBA negotiations], the owners clearly did not get what they wanted, and they were looking for the first available opportunity to be able to go back in and get it. Garnett's contract provided them with all of the ammunition that they needed.
These developments have happened so quickly and quietly, however, that the National Basketball Players Association was not aware of these widespread biometric advances, and had not established a position on the issue, until ESPN The Magazine approached the union for comment in August. "If the league and teams want to discuss potentially invasive testing procedures that relate to performance, they're free to start that dialogue and we'll be glad to weigh the benefits against the risks," longtime NBPA counsel Ron Klempner said. "Obviously, we'd have serious privacy and other fairness concerns on behalf of the players. We've barely left the starting line on these issues."
Liz Mullen: "…and that the Hawks organization has determined that discipline of Ferry was warranted. (continued)"
Liz Mullen: Earlier today, @TheNBPA issued a statement from Acting Exec Director Ron Klempner regarding the Atlanta Hawks situation. Will tweet it.
Statement of NBPA Acting Executive Director Ron Klempner Regarding the Atlanta Hawks: "We've had continuing discussions with the league office about the incidents of disturbing statements attributed to representatives of the Atlanta Hawks' franchise. We recognize that there is an ongoing investigation regarding the circumstances, and we will continue to monitor these events and take any action we deem appropriate."
Jeff Zillgitt: NBPA acting director Ron Klempner: "We've had continuing discussions with the league office about the incidents of disturbing statements attributed to representatives of the Atlanta Hawks' franchise. We recognize that there is an ongoing investigation regarding the circumstances and we will continue to monitor these events and take any action we deem appropriate."
An 18-month payment schedule would allow a player to continue receiving paychecks through the 2017-18 season, even if games aren't played because of a work stoppage, according to an e-mail sent to players and agents by acting union Executive Director Ron Klempner, a copy of which was obtained by Bloomberg News. "As we have learned in the past, the owners have made provisions with the TV networks to continue to receive rights fees throughout a work stoppage, and there is no reason the players should not make every effort to take the same precaution," the e-mail said. The e-mail suggests players use the 18-month provision in any multiyear contract, though it highlights the 2016-17 season.
Klempner in a telephone interview said the agents are "very receptive" to the idea. "Every chance the owners have had they've opted out of an agreement," Klempner said. "We can't control what they're going to do. All we're going to do is prepare ourselves."
Specifically, the letter – which was written by interim executive director Ron Klempner – advised players who are free agents to use a provision which allows them to be paid over 18 months instead of 12 during the course of a season. The provision was negotiated into the current collective bargaining agreement during the negotiations that ended the 2011 lockout.
NBPA acting executive director Ron Klempner, however, wasn't satisfied with how the situation was handled, via Bloomberg's Scott Soshnick: Text from Ron Klempner, acting exec director of @TheNBPA: The playing conditions for tonight's game were completely unacceptable from the opening tip. In a situation like this, there needs to be more open communication before a decision is made that could potentially place players at risk.

Tracy Reese played to the audience during her fall 2013 collection, which looked to New York girls for inspiration. The looks were heavy on animal prints, including cheetah and zebra, and used alternative fabrics such as neoprene.
During the show, models walked through a portion of the audience, while one of them carried a Siamese cat. The runway adjustment created several additional front-row seats, prized among attendees, for the show.
"That's always important — we definitely don't want to lose any because you want as many people to be there where it's all at," Reese said. "Back in the day, the runways were off the floor, and you could see the shoes and everything and now only the front row even sees the feet. They're the only ones who see the most important accessory, which is the shoes. So we always want to have plenty of front row."

'The Five': Dana Perino Weighs in on the Veepstakes
Tonight's cuppa: decaffeinated Irish tea
At some point prior to the start of the Republican National Convention on Aug. 27 in Tampa, Fla., presumptive GOP nominee Mitt Romney will announce his pick for vice-president, and the summer's top political guessing game will be over.
And if you really, really must know before your technologically disadvantaged pals, you can download an app -- from both Apple's App Store and the Android Market (a k a Google Play) -- Called "Mitt's VP."
(But the app's description does point out that you may still get the news after Romney's wife, Ann.)
One of the people keeping an eye on the debate is former presidential press secretary Dana Perino (seen below with her Vizsla puppy, Jasper), who served from Sept. 2007 until the end of George W. Bush's second term. She's currently one of the regular panelists on Fox News Channel's weekday-afternoon roundtable show, "The Five."
"I thought it would have been interesting," she says, "for Romney to pick someone outside of government, and maybe a CEO, but then I realized, actually he didn't need to do that. He has business experience.
"A lot of those choices have to do with, 'I have certain strengths as a candidate and as president, whom would I trust to give me good, candid advice, and who can build up any of my weaknesses?'
"A lot of those choices have to do with, 'I have certain strengths as a candidate and as president, whom would I trust to give me good, candid advice, and who can build up any of my weaknesses?'
"The vice-presidential pick is so important, because it is your first management decision. It is what you tell the world would be your choice to take over if something happened to you."
It can be argued that the job of vice-president largely entails attending state funerals and inquiring after the president's health daily, but, as Perino has pointed out, it can also be an advisory position.
Here's Perino's analysis of some of the top names:
Rep. Eric Cantor of Virginia (at left), currently the House Majority Leader: "For VP? Did you hear that from his team? I'd vet stories carefully on that one. You could probably make that case logically -- young rising star in the Republican Party. He's good and smart and from Virginia."
Rep. Paul Ryan (below, at right) of Wisconsin, currently chair of the House Budget Committee: "He is more likely in the top five choices than people realize. But he may think he has a better chance of changing policy as the chairman of the House Budget Committee, like he is now.
"But if Romney asks you if you want to serve as vice-
president, you don't automatically say, 'No.'"
Former Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice: "I don't know how real that is. She is a close personal friend of mine as well; she would probably say the same of me. We spent hours together on airplanes, going around the world. I learned so much from her. I would trust her with my life.
"And I can see why Mitt Romney is at least probably considering her."
"And I can see why Mitt Romney is at least probably considering her."
Senator Robert Jones "Rob" Portman of Ohio, and former Minnesota Gov. Tim Pawlenty: "The Pawlenty rumor has persisted. There are considerable strengths that each of those candidates brings. Rob Portman, in particular, has a keen knowledge of the economic situation in the country and the government financing of it, because he was the head of the Office of Management and Budget. (He has) zero profile, but you know what,I kind of like that. I like boring; I like bland. I just want competent."
Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal: "What he has done in Louisiana is quite remarkable, on the reforms of healthcare and education. I thought he managed the Louisiana end of the BP oil crisis very well. He was mature and smart and got cooperation from the administration. He didn't put his personal politics first. I could see him being a good, strong possibility, too."
Florida Sen. Marco Rubio (at left): "I had a chance to sit and talk with him in May 2011. When I got home, my husband asked me how the meeting had gone. I said, 'Excuse me, I need a minute -- I think I just met a future president of the United States.
"I don't know if he'll be the choice. Candidates should not choose anyone for any reason except whether they think they are the best person for the job at the time. There are many good reasons to choose Rubio, though, if he's not the VP nominee, he will have an important role in the GOP for years to come."

With the Super Bowl here this weekend, it's a great time for the above "Press Hop" mix by DJ Steve Porter. Check out more of Porter's mixes on his YouTube channel.
Thanks to Nick Schling from my Presentational Speaking in Organizations class for this recommendation.
Nearly 30 years after it topped the charts, an Australian judge ruled yesterday that the Men at Work song "Down Under" copied the song "Kookaburra Sits in the Old Gum Tree." The claim revolves around the flute riff from the Men at Work song. Men at Work now face paying 60% of the song's income to the rightholders for "Kookaburra." Throughout the history of popular music, these kinds of instances have popped up here and there. The Beach Boys were required to give Chuck Berry writing credit on "Surfin' USA" when a court ruled that it was a copy of Berry's "Sweet Little Sixteen." Later, George Harrison had to surrender royalties for the song "My Sweet Lord" when a court found that he unintentionally copied The Chiffons' song "He's So Fine." And, of course, with the rise of sampling in the 1980s and 1990s, determination of what constitutes being copied and what doesn't became murkier.
What do you think? Is each of these songs a copy of the other? What should count as copying? And what other pop songs sound like previous ones?
Right Round by Flo Rida is a a twist on the 1980s classic "You Spin Me Round" by Dead or Alive.
Starting on February 18, Eric Clapton starts up his live concert machine again. This year kicking off the tour will be the newly inducted Rock and Roll Hall of Fame guitarist Jeff Beck. The second leg of the tour will then feature frontman of the Who Roger Daltrey, while the last leg of the tour features Steve Winwood. Last year Clapton teamed up with Winwood to record a live concert album from Madison Square Garden featuring classics like "Can't Find My Way Home" and "Forever Man".
It seems like Clapton is teaming up with other veteran rockers to conjure up a unique concert experience. It's like he is creating a live mash-up of two of your favorites. Elton John and Billy Joel keep touring together joining forces on stage. Besides Jeff Beck, Roger Daltrey and Steve Winwood, who else would you like to see play an entire show with Eric Clapton? Personally I think Eric Clapton and Phil Collins might be rather interesting.
This mashup is cross between Notorious BIG's Hypnotized and I Love Rock N' Roll by Joan Jett.
Last night We Are The World was recorded again with a new batch of celebrities. Can the original be outdone? Will be Ground Hog Day once more? Above is the remake here is a link to the original.
In the song Sweet Soul Sister by Train, he says that song by "Mister Mister" so I thought of this one.

Paul Walker interviewed about one of final roles 2 weeks before death
In what is believed to be one of the late actor's final interviews, Paul Walker spoke with MTV News about his upcoming film "Hours" two weeks before his tragic death in a car crash.
In the film, Walker plays a new father who struggles to keep his infant daughter alive during the height of Hurricane Katrina in New Orleans.
MTV says Walker, who was 40 at his death, plays the only character on screen for much of the movie.
"If you read this [script], just read it, and it doesn't move you, there's something wrong with you. You're probably a robot," he said in the interview. But it was the power of Eric Heisserer's script, he said, that was also frightening. "The only way it gets messed up is if I screw up. That's how I felt," the actor admitted.
"Hours" hits theaters on Friday, Dec. 13.
Walker will potentially star posthumously in two other films. He had just finished filming the crime drama "Brick Mansions," and had shot some scenes in the seventh installment of the "Fast & Furious" franchise, which has suspended production indefinitely in the wake of the actor's death.

Another article about Demi getting back to work on her music:
Demi Lovato is back in the recording studio to record new music for her upcoming album. The Sonny With a Chance star, who was recently released from treatment, seems healthy and happy as she is moving on with her life. Is it possible that Demi has an entire notebook filled with new songs? While in treatment, it's likely that Demi wrote wonderful songs so we just can't wait to hear them!
It's great to hear that Demi is getting back to her normal routine. Demi's fans are looking forward to her return, as they've been supporting the starlet throughout her treatment.

Developing the Mentor/Protege Relationship
An open and honest relationship is key for powerful mentoring.
Beverly Biernat DeJovine
Elaine Robbins Harris
During the course of the mentoring relationship, you and your protege can expect to go through three phases. First, if you are both new to mentoring, you will experience a period of anxiety and uncertainty, not knowing what to expect from the relationship. Next is the honeymoon phase, during which you and your protege enjoy the excitement of endless possibilities and new opportunities. The final phase is about testing the limits of the relationship. In this phase, both you and your protege will feel tempted to push the boundaries to see how candid and straightforward you can be in the mentoring relationship. As a mentor, there are some things you can do to move beyond these initial phases and into a deeper, more comfortable relationship with your protege.
Create a safe environment.
Provide an environment where your protege can feel free to be honest. The key to creating such an environment is to openly acknowledge your own struggles. By disclosing something personal about yourself-even your failures-you take the initial step toward creating trust. Your own honesty and vulnerability will help your protege open up and share. Emphasize that the information shared between you will remain in the strictest confidence.
Listen without judgment.
While sharing your own experiences is vital to the mentoring relationship, you must also learn when to set your thoughts aside and focus on what your protege has to say. Learn to listen without an agenda by resisting the temptation to make a point, teach a lesson, or offer some caution. When you abandon trying to come up with all the answers, your protege will begin to feel heard and valued.
Focus on learning.
As a mentor, you can gain knowledge from your protege and the mentoring experience by bringing a learning attitude to the relationship. Let your protege know that you may not have all the answers and that you can learn from each other. If your protege sees you as a fellow learner, there is a greater potential for a partnership. Find out what your protege can teach you that you would like to learn. Or together, investigate an area you both would like to learn more about.
Agree on objectives, not approaches.
A true mentoring mind-set focuses on the learning objective, not the process. Your role as a mentor is to open up possibilities for your protege, not to provide proven techniques for a given list of problems. It is important to adopt a style in which you offer options to your protege as a way to encourage him or her to try new approaches. Telling your protege what to do or how to do it can deprive him or her of a valuable learning opportunity.
Appreciate your differences.
You and your protege have entered the mentoring relationship with different experiences and different points of view. Recognize those differences while respecting your common needs and objectives. And remember, the more differences between you and your protege, the more learning that occurs for you both.
By establishing a deeper mentoring relationship, you expand the depth and breadth of your protege's growth as well as your own. To sustain the energy in your relationship, continue to share your experiences, remain interested in each other, and celebrate one another's successes.

Andy, people ALREADY have the choice, option, and right to do everything the bill provides. To pretend that they DON'T already have these choices is disingenuous.
The effect of such a law is not to add new rights, but to eliminate rights. If party "a" in a marriage wants out but has agreed to this covenant from family pressure, social norms, or more likely- the fear of appearing not committed to the person they are about to marry in the first place- party "b" in the marriage has a legal tool to hold against party "a".
I swear, the Republican party continues to steal away from the Dems the idea that government should control everyone's lives! The Repubs must be made of really tough stuff, otherwise the cognitive dissonance would cause their heads to explode.
He paid his taxes, followed the existing rules, and gave away $172,000 yet he is a hypocrite?
Really?! The guy who wants us to take care of each other gave away 21% of his AGI, and he's a hypocrite? I didn't vote for the guy, but sheeze, get your calculator out and put away your irrational anger.

Institute of Texan Cultures offers free admission for Smithsonian's Museum Day
(Sept. 21, 2011) -- The UTSA Institute of Texan Cultures will participate in the seventh annual Museum Day on Saturday, Sept. 24. A Smithsonian affiliate the ITC will join participating museums and cultural institutions nationwide to open their doors free of charge to all visitors who download the Museum Day ticket from Smithsonian.com.
Museum Day is a celebration of the dissemination of knowledge to anyone and everyone interested without a price tag, emulating the free admission policy of the Smithsonian Institution's Washington, D.C.-based facilities.
With support from CITGO, Museum Day 2011 is poised to be the largest to date, outdoing last year's record-breaking event. In 2010, museum goers downloaded 227,747 tickets resulting in more than 500,000 people visiting more than 1,300 venues in all 50 states, Washington, D.C., and Puerto Rico.
"Every year, we enjoy this opportunity to open our doors to the public and invite them to rediscover the story of Texas free of charge," said John Davis, ITC interim executive director. "We believe all Texans and visitors should have access to the story of Texas heritage, which is steeped in the struggles and triumphs of people from many cultures."
Museum Day coincides with UTSA's first Homecoming football game at the Alamodome and parking will be limited. The Institute of Texan Cultures encourages guests and game attendees to use Via Park & Ride from the UTSA Main Campus, Highway 281 North (Parkhills Baptist Church, south of Loop 1604), Crossroads, UTSA Downtown Campus or Madla Transportation Center. While UTSA faculty, staff and students receive free admission to the museum with their UTSACard, the admit-two Museum Day ticket is a great way to bring friends and family to experience the museum.
This year Susan G. Komen for the Cure is participating in Museum Day and museum visitors are encouraged to donate to this leading global breast cancer organization.
Download the Museum Day ticket at smithsonian.com/museumday. A list of participating museums is available at smithsonianmag.com/museumday/venues/. Visitors who present the official pass will gain free admission for two people to participating museums and cultural venues. One ticket is permitted per household, per email address. For more information about Smithsonian magazine Museum Day 2011 and links to participating museums' and supporters' sites, visit Smithsonian.com/museumday.

There's nothing worse than getting attached to a TV series only to have it ripped away prematurely. Thanks to recent projects like Veronica Mars and the Heroes miniseries, we have renewed hope for some of our favorite shows that were canceled too soon, specifically the poor ones that only got one season. Now that so many shows are being revived in different ways, we feel inclined to make some polite suggestions about how we'd like to see other shows brought back from the graveyard. Ready? Let's do this.

Sewell: Could you talk about those two words that you just used—"transcendent" and "numinous"? They are favorites of mine.
Hitchens: Well, this would probably be very embarrassing. I can't compose or play music; I'm not that fortunate. But I can write and I can talk, and sometimes when I'm doing either of those things, I realize that I've written a sentence or uttered a thought that I didn't absolutely know I had in me until I saw it on the page or heard myself say it. There is a sense that it wasn't all done by my hand.
Sewell: A gift?
Hitchens: That's the nearest I'm going to get to being an artist, which is the occupation I'd most like to have and the one, at last, I'm the most denied. Everybody has had the experience at some point when they feel that there's more to life than just matter. But it's very important to keep that under control and not to hand it over to be exploited by priests and shamans and rabbis and other riffraff.
Sewell: You know, that might be a religious impulse that you're talking about there.
Hitchens: Absolutely not. It's a human one. It's a big cultural task to separate the cultural achievement that religion laid claim to from the claims of religion itself. No one's going to deny the role of religion in, for example, architecture or devotional painting. The poetry of John Donne or George Herbert strikes me as having been produced by people who probably really believed what they were saying. I have to be impressed.
Sewell: You write, "Literature, not scripture, sustains the mind and … the soul." You use the word "soul" there as a metaphor. But what is a soul for you?
Hitchens: It's what you might call "the x-factor"—I don't have a satisfactory term for it—but it's what I mean by the element of us that isn't entirely materialistic: the numinous, the transcendent. I don't think the soul is immortal, or at least not immortal in individuals, but it may be immortal as an aspect of the human personality, because when I talk about what literature nourishes, it would be silly of me or reductionist to say that it only nourishes the brain.
Sewell: I wouldn't argue with you about the immortality of the soul. Were I pastoring a church again, I would love to have you in my church because you're so eloquent, and, I believe, some of your impulses—excuse me for saying so—are religious in the way I am religious. You may call it something else, but in a lot of our thinking we agree.
Hitchens: I'm touched that you say, as others have, that I've missed my vocation. But I would not be able to be this way if I were wearing robes or claiming authority that was other than human. That's a distinction that matters to me very much.
Sewell: You have your role, and it's a valuable one, so thank you for what you give to us.
Hitchens: Well, thank you for asking. It's very good of you to be my hostess.

Workplace snacks to get you through the busy season
So before the munchies or the need to burn the midnight oil strikes consider stocking your desk or office with healthy snacks like:
- Trail mix, granola, and/or dried fruits and nuts
- High fiber, low sugar cereal (the travel size boxes are also a great way to limit the size of your snack if you're trying to maintain or lose weight)
- High fiber, low fat crackers and natural peanut butter
- Cans of lower fat and lower sodium soup or packets of instant noodles
- Tuna salad kit
- Packets of instant oatmeal and hot chocolate, especially the low sugar/calorie varieties.
- Packages of low-sodium microwave popcorn
If your office has a refrigerator or you can bring in a cooler, add low-fat yogurt; fresh fruits and veggies; low-fat cottage cheese; rolls or bagels; cheese; and perhaps ,even a frozen meal or leftovers from home. You should also be sure to drink plenty of water everyday. Other good alternative to coffee and sodas are low-fat milk, fruit juices and sparkling water.
When people eat at their desks they are more prone to eat fast and furiously, not really paying attention to what or how much they are eating. Having healthy snacks, packaged in healthy-sized portions, is only part of the solutions. If possible take a few minutes to clear your mind, and your desk, when you eat. Not only will you feel better, but it will minimize the chances of getting crumbs in your keyboard!

I have used this stuff for about two weeks or so and I love it already! I used Maybelline's Instant Age Rewind as a concealer for breakouts and my dark circles, but I noticed after awhile my problem areas wouldn't get covered up as well and I decided I would pick this up. I was a little hesitant at first because I had never used any of PF's products before. I have acne-prone, oily, and dry skin and I get really worried when it comes to trying new products because I don't want to break out, but this is perfect for me! It's light enough for my skin, it's pretty thick, so a little goes a long way. It stays all day too and doesn't crease which is awesome too. I'm not sure how well it works as an under eye concealer but I will try it there when I run out of my Instant Age Rewind. I definitely recommend this for breakouts and I will repurchase.

I bought this concealer when I was rudely let down by Hard Candy's Glamoflauge concealer. Not only did their product not come in my shade, but it broke me out! :( For about $1 more, I picked up this concealer. And holy crap, it's amazing. I got it in Natural Light, and it blends in seamlessly, For girls with darker skin, unfortunately this won't work for you, but I have no problem with the lack of color selection. It covers like a dream, stays on all day long, and doesn't break me out! I would definitely recommend, as there are no cons to this product. :)

I really like this concealer for a drugstore brand. I have the soft green one. I have asian NC35 skin. I needed something to reduce redness, and I wanted try this after using the concealer stick (which wasn't impressive). This concealer is handy especially when I breakout.
-Reduces redness
-It was pretty cheap!
-Creamy consistency that you can spread
-not blotchy
-I can squeeze a tiny amount
-good coverage
-It will dry with a dry consistency, so if you have dry skin and don't put on moisturizer, it will look patchy
-I wish it was a teeny bit darker to match my shade
-4 Shades only (fair, natural light, soft yellow, soft green I believe)
You would of course need skin-color concealer on top or else you'll look green in one place which is really awkward. I would buy it again.

I purchased this in natural light, and it's a little light for me. I like to layer it under my foundation and it works perfectly. The pigmentation is great, and it's very buildable. It's a bit drying, but nothing too bad. Overall, it has great coverage and I would definitely reourchase.

When I first got this, I wasn't very impressed, it felt drying and it seemed to fade away after a few hours. However, I mixed it with some of my face moisturizer, and it's fantastic, and it lasts longer. I think it's just too drying to be used alone. The coverage is really nice though, and I've never had it cake up.

I purchased this concealer very recently, but so far I really like it.
This concealer is very pigmented, and I find that it blends in really well into the skin. My skin has yellow undertones, so when I first squeezed it out of the tube, I was a bit discouraged because of its pink-based color. But after blending it into my skin, it looked completely natural.
One of the cons to this product is that the color selection is VERY limited; there were only two shades available at my local CVS and both are VERY light. I got it in the shade Natural Light and it just barely matches my skin tone since it is winter and my skin is paler. So if you have a darker complexion, I would recommend wearing it under your foundation.
Another thing that might turn people off of this product is that it is a bit expensive (it was around $10 at CVS). However, I think that it is completely worth the price and I have even heard that it is very similar to Make Up For Ever's full coverage concealer ($32 at sephora).
Overall, I really like this product.

I've purchased this concealer twice now, mainly because the first one I got was too light for my skin (and I'm rather fair-skinned, so that was surprising). I think I might be able to thin that one out with a moisturizer and use it as a highlight, or maybe alone as an eyeshadow base. But I digress.
I've been suffering from cystic acne as of late (damn hormones) and nothing has ever covered the resulting redness prior to this concealer. This stuff is truly amazing. It is thick, but if used sparingly, gives pretty natural-looking coverage and doesn't look cakey. It's amazing on the acne scars as well.
I haven't yet used it as an under eye concealer as I don't generally tend to need one unless I'm really doing a full-face look. I've not done a full-face look in a while, so that's why I haven't given it a go on my under eye area. I don't have much of an issue with dark circles anyway, so this stuff might be overkill.
The color I got second time around is Natural Light and it is a perfect match for my skin. For the record, I do not know what my MAC skin tone is, though I'm thinking it's maybe an NW20.
I'm dying to try the "no foundation flawless skin" trick that gossmakeupartist on Youtube did with the MUFE Full Cover Concealer, as I'm guessing this stuff is pretty close in consistency and coverage.
Oh, and the packaging is grand. It really makes it easy to control how much you use, which with how full-coverage this is, doesn't amount to much. I suspect I'll have this for quite a long time.

I have very light/fair skin with pink undertones and wanted something that wasn't yellow and would look natural on my skin. This product (Fair Light 2723) matches my skin tone beautifully and blends well.
It comes in a little tube with a small opening that makes it really easy to use a little at a time and a little goes a long way.
This is great for discolorations of the skin. For me that means little pink marks of fading pimples that is erased from your skin with a little dot of this concealer.
Raised pimples aren't magically gone but they are covered and harder to see. I've had foundation that's done a bit of a better job with this area, but this concealer does a good job.
This is the best product I've used so far for blackheads. I have bad blackheads around my nose and this covers them well and a little goes a long way to do that, which I love.
However, this is not the best for large pores. I have large pores on my cheeks and this concealer can make them stand out more.
It's also not best for dry skin. If you have even a little bit of dry peeling skin then this light color of concealer can really highlight it.
Overall, I am very pleased. For Rx Physicians Strength I was hoping for a bit more coverage, but the color is great, it covers great for little problems and covers well for everything else.
I'm the type that doesn't like to go outside without any makeup, but with this concealer I'm good with covering the problem areas and am confident enough to stop there and leave the house. For work, I like to use this concealer, apply some foundation to have a more even tone and then use some powder for a nice finish and no grease look.
I give it a 4.5 rating

This product had full coverage and long-lasting is easy to spread works very well covering marks, under eye area and the worst red blemishes , I think is better to use under a foundation because the brand have limited shades.

I have had this product over a year no joke and I still haven't run out. I love this concealer I used to have horrid acne when I first bought this and it was the only thing that covered my acne without being caky. Fast forward 6 months after Retin A and I barely use this stuff but when I need it, it works so well. I have the lightest color my tube you can still read but I have had it in my bag forever as my go to concealer I like that it's thin because one little dab on the pimple then I tap it with my ring finger till it blends and it lasts with my BB Cream till I take it off.
I could not do without this stuff i think it's thin enough for under the eyes but I don't have much of an issue with under eye circles even though I'm a chronic insomniac..ha! But I bet this formula would work well because it wears pretty natural on the skin. When I cover a spot I don't even see it so for the money it's totally worth it to me. Another good thing this tube lasts forever I could probably have this till it goes bad you only need such a small amount to cover acne I luv it. It's one concealer I really recommend because for the price it is really good!

My cat begs for Nu-Cat.
Dose recommended on package is 2 x/day. Its a great way to get some supplements into my cat she asks for it morning and evening. Nice foil package but do seal it tightly to keep the chews from drying out a bit.

The Politics of Wrestling
by, 09-12-2012 at 02:06 AM (2725 Views)
Can't we alljust get along?
With the elections fast approaching, I see a country divided. People vehemently arguing their cause, fighting so desperately to prove why their side is right and the other side is wrong. Never before have I seen a population so divided. Wait, yes I have, I'm a wrestling fan.
For years the wrestling world has been greatly divided, but why? Why must we choose sides. Why do we fight so hard to prove why one company is great and the other sucks. It seems to be a problem that has plagued wrestling for as long as I can remember. I'm writing this blog in a lame hippy-ish way of trying to get each side to lower it's defenses and see things for what they are and that being a product that we all enjoy and love, Pro Wrestling.
I'm 27 years old. I had the pleasure of spending my adolescence watching some of the best that wrestling had to offer during the late 90s. I don't care who you were back then, you watched wrestling. Even the people who claimed to hate it still had a general understanding of who was who and what was going on. Wrestling in the attitude era was an unavoidable phenomenon, and just as unavoidable was the decision you had to make. Were you a WWF fan or a WCW fan? You had to pick aside, and once you did you fought tooth and nail to prove why your promotion reigned supreme.
My friends and I were WWF fans. Our world revolved around Stone Cold Steve Austin, The Undertaker, DX, The Hart Foundation and LOD to name very few. I didn't have cable or satellite for the majority of my childhood, but my friends were so adamant I keep up on the product, they recorded Raw for me every week. We bled WWF. T-Shirts, VHS tapes (I actually bought WrestleMania 9, can you believe that?), and video games; if WWF made it, we bought it. I bought WWF: The Music so when I played with my WWF action figures, they'd have formal entrances. In hindsight, Vince McMahon ran a good portion of my childhood. I wouldn't however, own a single piece of WCW memorabilia as to do so would have been considered blasphemy in my circle of friends and would have resulted in immediate exile.
WCW was the enemy. Hulk Hogan was (an still pretty much is) the bane of our existence. Any WCW wrestler was by default worthless. Hogan, Flair and Macho Man were washed up old men. Nash and Hall were overrated and living off their WWF reputation. Their product was horribly fake, their ring ropes were obnoxiously rigid and don't even get me started on Tony Shiavone. Their belts looked stupid and the Nitro Girls couldn't hold a candle to Sable and Sunny. It didn't matter what they did, or who was on their roster, they sucked no matter what. If I saw you wearing a nWo shirt, you were an immediate douche. We talked as though watching WCW would be similar to the end of Raiders of the Lost Ark and our faces would melt off our bodies.
I maintained a dark secret however, as I was a wolf in sheep's clothing. Every chance I got, I was secretly watching WCW. I'd go to the movie store and rent every WCW ppv I could get my hands on. I was enamored with it. The cruiserweights were amazing;turns out, Taka Michinoku wasn't the only high flyer after all. The work rate of the WCW midcard was amazing. They had so many amazing talent, workers whom I had never heard of or seen with the exception of PWI magazines at the grocery store. Sure the ring was a little smaller, and the ropes a little tighter, but this wasn't the travesty my friends and I had made it out to be. It was actually pretty kick-ass. Was it all kick-ass? No, but WWF wasn't always kick ass either(Brawl for All anyone?). WCW's main event wasn't always the best but the marque value of the names they brought to the table were undeniable and put asses in seats and tuned more TVs to Nitro than Raw for 80+ weeks in a row.
We lived in our WWF bubble. Were our opinions of WCW true? No, they were opinions. Opinions that were formed as a result of refusing to take our blinders off and see it for what it was, an alternative. We didn't HAVE to watch WCW, but at the same time it wasn't like we weren't allowed to either. We as a group missed out on some classic moments in professional wrestling because of pure bias. Granted, Raw and Nitro went head to head, so to an extent a choice did have to be made as DVRs and YouTube didn't exist back then. My point is however, that our refusal to accept anything other than what we thought was right did nothing more than hinder our experience as wrestling fans. It was the GREATEST time to be a wrestling fan and we only caught half of it.
In recent years I have become a sponge to all things WCW. The Monday Night Wars on Classics on Demand is one of my favorite things to look forward to. Any WCW DVD release is an immediate purchase for me. Granted, things have to be taken with grain of salt given Vince McMahons knack for interpreting history as he likes to remember it, but it's still new to me. As I stated earlier, I didn't have the means to watch Nitro live. So many of the moments I'm seeing, I'm seeing for the first time which makes it so much more enjoyable, but still not as enjoyable as it would have been had I been able(and more importantly, willing) to watch them live.
My point to all of this is that the most common thing I see in the blogs and comments ections are narrow minded views of today's wrestling. So many people who refuse to acknowledge the hard work of so many men and woman who want to do nothing more than bust their asses to entertain us simply because the logo in the ring isn't what we're accustomed to. I'm not saying that every WWE fan has to watch Impact or that every TNA fan should watch Raw or Smackdown. I'm just wishing that people could have a little but more of an open mind. I'm just as guilty of being closed minded now as I was back then, but I'm seeing more and more that I can like parts of each. I think CM Punk and Samoa Joe are two of the best wrestlers in the world today. I'm not going to short myself the enjoyment of seeing these guys do what they do best because of some bullshit brand loyalty. I don't have a contract with Vince or Dixie and if I don't like what I see on their programs, I'm sure there's something better on somewhere else.
Regardless of whether or not you're Republican or Democrat, you're an American. Regardless of whether you watch WWE or TNA, you're a wrestling fan. The nice thing about being a wrestling fan is that you don't have to vote for one or the other, you can enjoy both, which is something I wish more people would be willing to accept.

Queens College deployed IP-based video surveillance and physical access control solutions.
"We wanted to build the foundation for a more proactive approach to security that would accelerate incident detection, increase situational awareness, and automate response."
-Naveed Husain, Chief Information Officer Queens College
"Parent response to the physical security solution has been overwhelmingly positive."
-Dr. Joseph Bertolino, Vice President for Student Affairs, Queens College
Enhanced Student Safety
Better Control of Building Access
Recruiting Advantage
Next Steps
• Viewing from anywhere: Authorized people will be able to view video from any campus location with an Internet connection. "Later we might give permission to campus security personnel and local police to view real-time and archived video from off campus," Hussain says.
• Video analytics: An important component of the college's strategic plan for campus safety and security is to use video analytics to automatically alert staff to anomalous incidents. Types of video analytics that the college is considering include facial recognition, object recognition, and license plate recognition.
• Light Detection and Ranging (LIDAR): Using the Cisco cameras with LIDAR technology would enable campus security and first responders to view a 3-D model of objects and movement in hallways during emergency situations.
• Collaboration with outside security organizations: Queens College is considering augmenting its security staff with an independent campus safety organization. The partner organization would be able to remotely view and control camera feeds and building access controls, accelerating situational awareness and response.

Well it has been a wonderful few weeks. I've been promising a last post and so sadly…this is our final post. Our leaving Ghana was very hard but we had a fantastic few weeks. Play by play….
On Monday June 30th Elder & Sister Ivie and Elder & Sister Julander came to the mission home and met the Stevenson's. Then it was time to leave:
We said goodbye to Theresa
…..and Rebecca. We love them both!
And we felt very sad when we turned the mission over to the very capable President & Sister Stevenson. They will do AWESOME!!!
The Ivies and The Julanders traveled into Accra with us. It was nice to have them there at this very sad/exciting time. We stopped at the temple and yes…..
….we did the traditional jump. We were jumping into our newest adventure. I want you to know I really did jump of the stairs…I just landed quicker! Haha!
This is the next site that we saw:
Fifteen of our twenty grandkids. It was awesome. All but one family was there. They were busy with a family reunion…This was awesome and the two little ones that were babies when we left joined in…ran and gave us hugs without fear. It made Grandma cry!! I was so thrilled. I can't believe how much my grandkids have grown!
That was on Tuesday…we went back to our house and had grilled hamburgers and hotdogs. I don't know when they ever tasted so good! We took Wednesday and Thursday to unpack and get a little settled. Then we had a family gathering on Friday.
We started at our son's (Nates) house for a fun swim.
Then back to our house for pizza….
….fun with cousins
more sparklers……
Then preparing…..and anticipating….
…..fun fireworks!!!!
We had the privilege of being home for our sweet Annie's Baptism. We are so grateful that we got home in time for it. I felt honored to be able to speak at her baptism. She is such a sweet girl. Doesn't she look like a princess?
After the baptism we had a great buffet with lots of yummy food and family! It was a very special day!
We spent the next week just spending as much time with family as we could. It is so fun to have grandkids old enough to just come over and play games with Grandma and Grandpa! We really have enjoyed our family! We do miss our missionaries but are so happy to be home.
Our Homecoming was on the 13th. I can't tell you how touched we were by the people that were there. It reminded us of how very blessed we are to have had the opportunity to serve…not only as Mission President but our other two missions as well. We saw people from our first mission….from our second mission….missionaries returned home and families of those who are still serving in the Ghana Cape Coast Mission. It was such a wonderful day (well after we got the nervousness of speaking over with)! We had family members that we haven't seen for so long and it was great to have them there! There were several things that touched our hearts. As we sat on the stand and looked out at the congregation it was overwhelming the love that we felt for everyone there. I just want to tell all of you that are there how much we appreciate the love and the support that you have shown us. No matter what our connection, we are so blessed to know you! Thank you for following us through the last 3 years! I hope our paths will cross often!
I'm just going to close by testifying of the truthfulness of the gospel, the blessings that come into our lives as we serve our Father in Heaven and of the joy that comes as we share the gospel with others. Please remember the importance of your role in this great work. One thing that I have found out is the joy that comes into our lives when we take the time to help others "Come Unto Christ". Thank you all for the giant part that you have played in our lives…We love you all!!! President & Sister Shulz
Here are pictures of some wonderful people! Thank you so much for being there!
I can't go without thanking the Schiffman's. They were so kind to totally decorate for our little open house after our meeting. They had such fun decorations and really made it African looking.
They thought of everything. Even a book for those that were there to sign. Richard and Marilyn…Thank you! We love you! You are AWESOME!!!
We are missing 4 of our grandchildren but it was great to have 16 of them there.
The rest of these pictures are of all the wonderful missionaries and family of missionaries…some family and great friends!
