16 Best Bronzers
If your Casper-like complexion needs a touch of faux glow, try using one of these best bronzers
Why it's great: The combination of bronze tones "is truly multifunctional. It works as eyeshadow, a highlighter, a bronzer or blusher," says one reviewer. The "gorgeous, versatile color" is "perfect," adds another. One reviewer writes that this bronzer is "great for [her] sensitive skin." Others agree, saying this mineral-based bronzer "goes on smooth, looks natural and lasts all day until you take it off."

Thanks for putting this together. The Laura Mercer seems like something I would really like. Love Bobbi Brown's but was surprised not to see NYX's. The Matte works really well and is among my favorites also heard really good things about their new Illuminator one, but have yet to try it. Plan of fixing that soon

As a pale person, I am always on the look out for that perfect bronzer that will add dimension to my face, but looks natural and not the least bit orange. I love that you spend the majority of time praising the good bronzers, but also point out some of the worst.

CAIRO: A top aide to Egypt's President Mohamed Mursi, who quit when the leader issued a decree expanding his powers, has joined the country's biggest opposition movement, a senior opposition figure said on Friday.
Samir Morkos was Mursi's adviser on the transition to democracy and the only Christian in the Islamist leader's team.
He is one of at least two presidential advisers to have stepped down since Mursi issued the decree on Nov. 22 that made his decisions immune to legal challenge.
The president's opponents see the move as a power grab that threatens Egypt's nascent democracy.
Morkos only learned the details of the decree when it was read out on state television, he told the London-based Asharq al-Awsat newspaper this week.
Without waiting for Mursi to approve his resignation, Morkos joined the National Salvation Front "and is now sitting beside me in a meeting," opposition leader Ahmed Saed told Reuters.
Morkos did not answer phone calls seeking comment.
The Front has led calls for protests against the decree and tens of thousands gathered for a rally in Cairo's Tahrir Square on Friday, some chanting "The people want to bring down the regime".
The opposition movement, which includes former Arab League Chief Amr Moussa and opposition figure Mohamed ElBaradei, has called for broader civil disobedience to fight what it describes as an attempt to "kidnap Egypt from its people".
Mursi says the decree is designed to speed up the democratic transition and will lapse as soon as Egyptians vote on a new constitution.
In an attempt to end the crisis, an Islamist-led assembly raced through approval of the constitution on Friday and plans to send it to Mursi for him to ratify and put to a popular vote.

Handbook of Statistics in Clinical Oncology, Third Edition
Edited by John Crowley, Antje Hoering
Chapman and Hall/CRC – 2012 – 657 pages
Chapman and Hall/CRC – 2012 – 657 pages
Many new challenges have arisen in the area of oncology clinical trials. New cancer therapies are often based on cytostatic or targeted agents, which pose new challenges in the design and analysis of all phases of trials. The literature on adaptive trial designs and early stopping has been exploding. Inclusion of high-dimensional data and imaging techniques have become common practice, and statistical methods on how to analyse such data have been refined in this area. A compilation of statistical topics relevant to these new advances in cancer research, this third edition of Handbook of Statistics in Clinical Oncology focuses on the design and analysis of oncology clinical trials and translational research.
Addressing the many challenges that have arisen since the publication of its predecessor, this third edition covers the newest developments involved in the design and analysis of cancer clinical trials, incorporating updates to all four parts:
Accessible to statisticians and oncologists interested in clinical trial methodology, the book is a single-source collection of up-to-date statistical approaches to research in clinical oncology.
"A strength of the handbook is the large number of examples that are included in most chapters that expand on the theoretical basis underpinning the relevant methodology. Each chapter provides details of new developments in the specific methodology and provides a comprehensive list of references for the reader to seek further information when required. … The book contains a wealth of information about a wide range of statistical methodologies, some of which are not limited to clinical trials. … a valuable update to a resource that covers a comprehensive range of topics related to the design, analysis and interpretation of clinical trials in cancer research."
—Peter Baade, Australian & New Zealand Journal of Statistics, 2013
Praise for the Second Edition:
"The new topics and contributions in this edition include the recently developed tools for high-dimensional data and bioinformatics in clinical oncology research. A new section has been added emphasizing the importance and rapid developments of these topics over the 5 years since the publication of the first edition. Some of the original sections have been updated to include the state-of-the-art knowledge and tools in all topics. The end result is a comprehensive edited volume covering statistical and bioinformatics methods that provide the foundation for important research and clinical trials in cancer. … Like the last edition, this current edition will be an important addition to the libraries of all health research centers. The book will be prized as a reference book for biostatisticians, biomedical researchers, and oncologists for planning, conducting, analyzing, and interpreting cancer research."
—Journal of the American Statistical Association, Vol. 104, No. 487, September 2009
"This is a expanded and revised second edition of a text that was initially well received by the community. The book comprised of 33 chapters, grouped into 6 sections. … The text is extremely well referenced. The authorship represents the leaders in the field. A significant strength of this book is its example-driven approach to the 'out-of-the-box' but practical issues faced by those conducting cancer clinical trials. The book provides a critical assessment of the state of science through a thorough review of the methods, applications, and available resources. … a detailed and mostly comprehensive text on the topics of cancer clinical trial design, conduct, analysis, and interpretation."

Once Harrison allowed himself some needed time to rest following the events of 1974 and busied himself with other Dark Horse acts, he finally got around to recording his "contractual obligation" album - the bulk of which was cut at A&M Studios in Los Angeles in the summer of 1975. Among the musicians he used to record Extra Texture (Read All About It) were Jim Keltner on drums, Leon Russell on piano, and a young David Foster - then contracted with Dark Horse Records with a band called Attitudes - who provided three string arrangements and keyboards. Different bass guitarists appear on nearly every track, and include Klaus Voormann, Carl Radle, Paul Stallworth, Willie Weeks, and Harrison himself, playing synthesized Arp bass.
Specially for the album, Harrison completed "You", a song he had intended for Ronnie Spector to record, and which went no further than its backing track back in 1971. It subsequently became a US Top 20 hit, reaching #38 in the UK. The follow-up single, "This Guitar (Can't Keep From Crying)" - a lyrical sequel to "While My Guitar Gently Weeps" - was the last-ever new release on Apple Records in February 1976, and also the first solo Beatles single to miss the charts. "Ooh Baby (You Know That I Love You)" was the first of two Smokey Robinson tributes Harrison would release.
Released with a thick and heavily textured orange cover (hence its title), Extra Texture (Read All About It) was better received than Dark Horse by the critics, though it was still considered slightly below par by the general public. Harrison himself would later designate the album as his worst. Yet, there are many Harrison devotées who will find much to savour on Extra Texture (Read All About It). The album reached #8 in the US - his last Top 10 album there for twelve years - and went gold, while reaching #16 in the UK.
Points of interest: Perhaps a joke referencing the impending demise of The Beatles' Apple Records label, the Apple logo is presented on Extra Texture (Read All About It) all eaten away. In addition, Harrison is pictured on the inside jacket with the caption "OHNOTHIMAGEN" (i.e. "Oh, not him again!"); a humorous take on Harrison's dwindling popularity at this time.
Extra Texture (Read All About It) was remastered for CD release in 1992.

Red Hat and JBoss: No turning back for open source

Szulik said that it will take two or three years to fully judge the wisdom of paying at least $350 million for a company with anticipated revenue of $60 million in 2006.
Healthy business ahead?
However the combination of the two companies works out, the move validates the notion that corporate customers want more than just Linux when it comes to open-source software, analysts said.
Indeed, open-source databases and middleware are two vibrant areas of open-source development, which has prompted entrenched suppliers to change their tactics.
IBM acquired a very small open-source Java application server company called Gluecode for less than $50 million. Oracle and BEA are making their Java server software work well with open-source Java tools.
In the database realm, Oracle sought, but failed, to acquire MySQL, a successful open-source company that earned almost $40 million in 2005. Oracle also bought InnoBase and Sleepycat, two specialized open-source database providers.
Microsoft, too, is adapting to the expansion of open-source practices: It now provides source code for some of its products and has signed partnerships with JBoss and with SugarCRM, an open-source application company.
Some argue that apart from licensing tactics, Microsoft and open-source businesses are a lot alike. Like open-source companies, Microsoft appeals to software developers and has always sought to create an ecosystem of third-party providers.
"Look at commercial open-source companies. How different is Red Hat's business model from Microsoft's? I'd say it's pretty marginal," said Jason Matusow, Microsoft's director of corporate standards, in a recent interview.
Some people, including Don Dodge, an executive in Microsoft's emerging business group, note that only a small number of open-source companies have made the same impact as Red Hat, MySQL or JBoss.
Yet MySQL CEO Marten Mickos last week said he is convinced a billion-dollar open-source company will arise with the same market influence as existing software providers.
"Red Hat is the grandfather...and all the rest of the open-source companies are emulating their business model," Mickos said. "It's important for people behind to see that there's a healthy business ahead."

UC Davis affiliates are issued AggieCards to identify themselves as people associated with the university. UCDMC affiliates have a different card. AggieCards replaced the older style reg cards in Fall 2010 for students; they are optional for faculty, staff, visiting scholars, and retirees. In addition to identifying university affiliates, AggieCards can also be used as US Bank ATM/Debit cards if you open up a US Bank student checking account.
Warning: US Bank conducts a hard credit pull if you open an account with them. This is the worst type of credit inquiry. This lowers your credit score and can damage your credit rating. So be careful about opening accounts with them.
You can get an AggieCard in 161 Memorial Union, on the first floor across the hall from the MU Information Center between the hours of 10 A.M. to 4 P.M. (The office has moved to 1210 Dutton during MU renovations.)
There is a $15 charge to replace a lost AggieCard.
A valid AggieCard can be used to:
- Check out books from Campus Libraries including: Shields, Reserves, Physical Sciences and Engineering, Carlson Health Sciences and movies from Hart Hall.
- Ride Unitrans and Yolobus, if you're a registered undergraduate. Undergraduate student fees pay for unlimited bus riding on these services.
- Gain admission to the ARC if you are a registered student (your student fees pay for a membership) or you have purchased a membership.
- Get into your dorm or the 24 Hour Reading Room.
- Buy stuff with money from your US Bank student checking account at any place with an Interlink terminal. This feature is only available if you open up a US Bank student checking account. The card can be used to get cash at an ATM or can be used to make PIN based purchases. It cannot be used for signature purchases like a credit card.
- Swipe in to the Dining Commons if you have a meal plan.
- Buy food at the Silo & Davis Food Co-op with Aggie Cash.
- Identify yourself when using credit card at the Coffee House, Trudy's, the Silo, the Bookstore, and more.
- Charge stuff to your student account at campus bookstores, provided you have a second form of photo ID, and are spending more than $5.
- Charge stuff at the Bike Barn such as repairs and merchandise as long as the purchase is over $5.
Additionally, many places will give you a student discount on goods and services if you show them a student ID (like the AggieCard). Some Frat Parties also use AggieCards to keep non-students out. If you want to verify that an AggieCard belongs to a registered student, the Registrar has a website. This is how the ASUCD Elections Committee verifies that signatures on petitions belong to currently registered students.

'Real Housewives D.C.' preview: Are the Salahis gatecrashers? Vote!
Thursday's Sept. 30 episode and the finale on Oct. 7 may be the only times we'd actually suggest you watch "The Real Housewives of D.C." After all the headlines and Michael and Tareq Salahi's claims, we're finally going to see "the truth" behind the alleged gatecrashing (or so we've been led to believe).
Of course, the couple pleaded the fifth during their congressional hearing back in January. But when we talked to them back in August, they insisted they were invited guests.
Starting with Thursday's episode, Bravo will start to unravel the story surrounding President Obama's first White House state dinner.
In the preview clip above, Michaele shows a frightening amount of knowledge about the specifics of the event while Tareq is beaming close by.
Are these the details one knows if they're invited to the event? Or when one has staked out the joint?

RICHLAND, Wash. (AP) -- If you wanted to register for one of the free tours of the Hanford nuclear reservation this year, you're too late.
The seats filled up fast early Tuesday morning when registration opened on a website.
KONA reports people eager for a first-hand look at clean-up work can check the website for cancellations.
The bus tours are limited to about 2,500 seats for 60 tours from April through September.
The five-hour tour includes the B Reactor, the world's first, full-scale nuclear reactor that produced the plutonium used in the "Fat Man" bomb dropped over Nagasaki, Japan, to end World War II. The tour also includes the $12 billion vitrification plant to turn Hanford waste into stable glass logs for storage.

Indigenous People
The Parliament provides an opportunity for Indigenous people around the world to voice their concerns and aspirations, and to share their wisdom and insights. Topics from the 2009 Parliament included the environment, spirituality, rights and governance, culture (including history, education and language), colonization and de-colonization, and more as determined by the Indigenous Task Force. Indigenous perspectives were included throughout the Parliament programming.
A sampling of programs includes:
Protection Prayer in Emergency Room: the Collaboration between Physicians and Dine' Traditional Healers
Many indigenous communities face health problems not easily treated by Western medical interventions. Increasingly these communities have turned to traditional methods for the management of chronic or disabling conditions. This session discussed how traditional healers on the Navajo (Dine') reservation bring a spiritual dimension to patient-centered care.

After being forced onto a reservation in 1884, a prophecy revealed that the Nation would return to its traditional philosophies after 100 years. This film presents the history of the Northern Cheyenne and raises the question of whether a new generation of leaders can restore the traditional values of this embattled Nation.

Water is the Life Line of the Pueblo Indians
In the arid Southwest USA, Native methods of farming relied on rain and snow to provide water, but the rights to indigenous surface water have been contested in recent years. This presentation focused on the past and present significance of water and the challenges of preserving this essential lifeline for the Pueblo people.
Dr. Joseph Suina
Once we were worlds apart. Now we are part of the same world.
The Australian Aboriginal communities practice the world's longest continuous cultural and religious tradition, going back more than 55,000 years. Like other Indigenous or First Nation peoples across the world, they live close to the land and its waters. Their traditional knowledge and wisdom guides them in living in harmony with the environment. Across the globe, the lands to which they belonged were invaded; their families, communities and health were severely disrupted; and their respective religious beliefs were undermined.
Australian Prime Minister Kevin Rudd gave a public speech apologizing for all the wrongs Australia has committed against the well-being of its Aboriginal citizens. Click here to download the transcript (pdf).

Exclusive: Mighty Mouse Discusses Fight with Dodson, Benavidez vs. McCall & the Flyweights MMA News | Mixed Martial Arts | UFC News | BJPenn | MMA Fight | UFC Fights
Dodson is a great fighter, he has a lot of power and it was a great fight, Johnson told BJPenn.Com Radio. I thought my performance was pretty good, I wish I didnt have to get dropped a couple of times in the fight, but hes tricky and it took me awhile to find my groove in there. Overall Im glad I got to display different aspects of my game including the Muay Thai and the pressure I usually dont show when I fight. I have to say I was happy with the whole outcome.
What would a UFC fight be without a little controversy? At one point during the fourth round Johnson had control of Dodson against the cage and was scoring points with his knees, but Dodson kept putting his hand down on the canvas in order to stop those strikes. It seems Johnson landed a knee to the face of Dodson who had his hand on the mat constituting an illegal strike and the fight was stopped as doctors check on Dodsons eye. Some have questioned the rule and how some fighters seem to take advantage of it; Johnson had his own opinion in the subject.
I believe a downed opponent is a guy who has at least one knee down on the ground, assessed Johnson. It really is a funky rule; I agree that if you have a knee on the ground then youre good otherwise if its just a hand then its a little bit of a touchy subject. Its definitely something that should be looked at.
The fight that Dodson and Johnson put on will certainly help bring credibility to the flyweight division, but the fact remains the pickings for Johnsons next opponent are relatively slim. Two of the top ranked fighters are facing off this weekend at UFC 156 when Joseph Benavidez takes on Ian McCall, two guys Johnson has defeated in the past year. Some fans have called for an immediate rematch with Dodson, but that doesnt look as though it will happen.
Im not sure, the UFC always has their plans and they have Joe Silva and Sean Shelby who both do a great job of making marquee matches, Mighty Mouse admitted. Im really excited about the match-up this weekend between McCall and Benavidez. My job is just to continue to get better and let my body heal up so Ill be ready to fight again.
Speaking of McCall he was recently a guest on BJPenn.Com Radio and he told us he wanted to be feared and had plans on destroying Benavidez. If that did come to fruition, Johnson wouldnt be the only one to be surprised.
Id be shocked and say he did a good job, said the 26-year-old Washington resident. Ive always liked Ian, hes always looking to go out there and hurt somebody. I find it very humorous, but its going to be a great fight. Benavidez is tough, he trains with the best fighters in the world so well see how it goes.
Johnsons bouts against McCall, Benavidez and Dodson all went the distance and were all hard fought victories. All three of those opponents present different problems for Johnson, but did one of them offer a tougher test than the other two?
All three of them are all tough, they all present different challenges, Johnson admitted. I would say Dodson presents the challenge of the power and he was the squirmiest one because he does a good job of keeping distance between himself and his opponents. Benavidez and McCall are both more dynamic because they will fight you on the ground and try and submit you. When I fought Dodson I didnt have to worry about any of that. I knew I could get in on Dodson and fight in the clinch where as McCall can fight in the clinch and I know Benavidez likes to throw from there.

Ok, here is the question. You just opened the bottle and out pops the genie. He grants you five wishes. The catch is they have to be five real flesh and blood cars and you have to live with them for the rest of your life. No wishing for a gazillion dollar exoto car that you can sell and buy a hundred thousand Fiat 500's. You actually have to live with them. They are your transportation. No frigin race cars or homolgation specials! They got to go down the street. Oh, and mantainance is included, but you wrap it around a tree, TS man, they ain't fixing it unless you can pay for it. So, what do you choose and why?
Here is my list in not particular order:
1. '69 ram air IV GTO Judge - I fell in love with this car in the muscle car era and just like the lines of it. Homage to the big block street gran prix cars.
2. '60 250 GT California Spider SWB - Yea, Ferris Bullers day off car. A lot of Ferraris to choose from but I think this one had some of the nicest lines of any of the early(In my life) Ferraris. Has to have the 250 V-12. Oh, and I just don't like the look of a Daytona. Looks like it was designed by an ammunition maker.
3. '71 280 SL 'benz pagoda roof. A friend of mines dad had one while I was in college in ice blue and it was a great car to drive. The last year of this car were the most refined and best like so many last editions. The fit and finish were impecable and it was a great car to drive. This would be my daily driver. Easy car to live with.
4. '74 Porsche 911 carrara, Rated as one of the worst porsches ever build for maintance. It was the first year of the battering ram bumpers and had a lot of emissions stuff that went south. So why do I want one? I had a '74 911 and I want it back! Best/worse car I ever owned.
5. '03 458 Italia Yea, I hear you. Crazy exotic but I have seen several of these at cars and coffee in Irvine and I could walk around this car all day long just looking at it. I can't find a line that I don't like. And when one of these leaves the lot, Oh, my word! It is the most fun you can have with your clothes on. Or maybe even sans apparel.
Ok, your turn----- Oh one last question to put this thing into perspective- What do you drive now?
Me? '93 MR2 turbo. You?

Well just shoot me, lol. I picked up today what I thought was a set of party lights, like maybe something a DJ would have. I guess what it really was is the inside of a projection tv? When I started taking the glass lights off a liquid came out all over the table/floor. I thought it was water but it felt slightly oily. What kind of cooling fluid is this exactly? Is it the same stuff used in cars?
Has anyone ever taken one of these apart all the way? Should I just stop now and not even continue?

Theoretically, two decades immersed in Christian social justice culture might be thought to give a person a pretty devout and committed faith life.
Yeah, not so much.
I've worked for Christian organizations for 19 years—my whole career since university graduation, excepting a brief stint at the McAlpin's department store jewelry counter. During bridal season. (Never, never, and never again.)
Didn't intend it that way. I left school wanting to Do Good. I found ways to do that through the Lutheran Volunteer Corps, at Mary Mother of Hope House, a shelter for homeless women in Wilmington, DE; at City Gospel Mission in Cincinnati; Sojourners in DC; and Bread for the World, also in DC. I've been grateful to have faith communities built into my 9-to-5 life. For the most part, at least.
But I haven't consistently gone to a church in DC in years. My prayer life varies from day to day, dependent more on things like schedules and stress levels. I do have an awesome Bible study back in DC that I've been part of for years and that I miss. Talking about Scripture surrounded by smart, thoughtful people makes me less likely to want to toss my Bible aside when passages make me crazy and/or angry. And that gathering of folks would understand if I tossed it anyway. They'd also know I'd pick it back up.
But I think I've relied on my workplaces and their missions to attend to my spiritual life for me. To remind God, "Hey! Still here! Just so you know…"
Alas, I'm probably just a very lazy Christian.
I wish I could say I've become spiritually disciplined in Cape Town. I have a gift of time this year, time to think, write, pray, walk, cook, read, meet people, connect. But my days never quite work out as I envision. I didn't get a TV so I wouldn't waste time watching crap. Instead, I end up waist deep in the Big Muddy of the Internets too often.
I love J.L. Zwane, the Presbyterian church where I'm based in Gugulethu. But it's hard to feel part of the church community when my Xhosa is so limited. (I do know God is Thixo.) The emotional preaching style throws me back to a few overly exuberant and sometimes scary Southern Baptist preachers from my childhood. I don't know what words these men are saying, but I know what they're saying. After the sermon, I'm ready to repent, and I also need an ibuprofen.
I've discovered a church in Cape Town, Central Methodist Mission, right on Greenmarket Square, the main tourist market. They have a drop-in, 30-minute service on Tuesdays at 1 pm. Low-key, nice. Last week, the pastor, Alan Storey, spoke of ways to worship that God actually seems to prefer. Can the burnt sacrifices—God apparently has enough bulls and goats. Offer instead thanks and gratitude. Keep your promises, to God, to others. Call upon the Lord in times of trouble. And care for the widow and the orphan.
Now, soon after the service, I was heading out to Gugulethu for the Tuesday afternoon orphans' support group that I help out with. I kind of chuckled out loud at the literalness of the reading that day. At God's absurd humor. I'm far too often a lukewarm worshipper, and here I was about to do something that I'd never call worship.
I don't feel that I'm worshipping faithfully when I help with the orphans' group. More often, I feel…well, kinda pissed. A big beef I have with God at many moments is why there needs to be an orphans' support group. Why so much suffering seems concentrated in a few places rather than distributed for all of us to bear. These aren't new questions, I know, and I'm not expecting any new revelations.
But the revelations come anyway.
Naledi is darling and I fell in love with her instantly. She's 13 years old and lives in Port Elizabeth, about eight hours away. I met her when she visited her sister Annasuena, one of the girls of Amazw' Entombi, over the World Cup holidays. The three of us went to see Toy Story 3, made tacos and had a sleepover at my cottage.
Naledi was only five when the girls lost their mother. She can't remember her at all. Last year, her father also passed away. Now she's being raised by her father's girlfriend, who thankfully treats her very well. When I was with Annasuena and Naledi, I didn't feel like I was "caring for the orphan," or worshiping. We were just having a fun girls' day out.
In the car coming home after the movie, Naledi asked me, "Are your parents still living?"
Her question threw me for a moment. I'm three times this child's age, and losing my parents is still my biggest fear in life.
"Yes, they are, both of them," I said, with a small wave of something like guilt washing over me.
"Oh, you're very blessed."
I felt hot tears in my eyes then, and I was thankful to be wearing sunglasses. Naledi is the sort of girl who would get very upset if she thought she'd upset me.
I wish I could describe the tone of her voice. It wasn't any of the attitudes I could imagine speaking that sentence, if I'd lived her life. It wasn't envious, or sarcastic, or bitter. It was just pure.
You're very blessed. It's the closest I've ever come to hearing the voice of God.

THE vegetables of tomorrow could provide healthier meals, thanks to bacteria bred to produce high levels of vitamins and other important nutrients. The bacteria in question are harmless and already live on the surfaces of plants and within their tissues.
Bacteria-enhanced crops are the brainchild of Stephen Witzig, a PhD student at Salisbury State University in Maryland, and his supervisor Mark Holland. They have been studying a class of bacteria called pink-pigmented facultative methyl- otrophs (PPFMs). To most plant physiologists PPFMs are merely an annoyance, as they can contaminate cultures of plant cells. But Witzig wondered if they might be able to influence plants' nutritional value.
First, Witzig bred a particular PPFM called

AN Australian scientist has presented the first report card of a massive international scientific undertaking called the Global Change and Terrestrial Ecosystems project. The project, with an annual budget of US$44 million, pulls together ecological and environmental research done at the local level so that a picture of the state of the planet can be built up.
The report of the project's first six years of work was presented last month by Brian Walker, head of the CSIRO Division of Wildlife and Ecology, who used a conference of the Ecological Society of America in New Mexico as his forum. Walker is a former chairman of the project's scientific steering committee which vets the research and coordinates the exercise.

Lee Myung Bak Group Fated to Face Stern Judgment
|Pyongyang, May 9 (KCNA) -- All the candidates from the "Grand National Party" (GNP) were defeated in the "National Assembly by-election" held in south Korea in late April, bringing the worst election failure to the party of traitors.
Commenting on this, Rodong Sinmun Saturday observes: Though it was "by-election", it assumed the nature of making "an intermediary judgment" of all the policies pursued by the Lee Myung Bak regime during more than one year of its office and reflected the mind-set of the south Korean people. In this aspect the outcome of the election was a fair yet stern judgment made by the south Korean people upon the group of traitors swimming against the desire of the nation and the trend of the times.
The news analyst cites facts to prove that the present ruling quarters of south Korea have behaved quite contrary to the mind-set of the south Korean people by enforcing the unpopular and traitorous policies during this period. A ray of hope entertained by south Korean people for the "pragmatic government" was completely dashed, leaving them greatly disillusioned with the group of traitors and angered at it, the commentary says, and goes on:
In a word, the outcome of the election was people's stern judgment and warning to the Lee group of traitors which has gone arrogant, quite contrary to the mind-set of the south Korean people.
The GNP is now busy eradicating the aftermath of the election failure, trumpeting about what it called "personnel reshuffle" and the like. This is, however, nothing but a cynical ploy of those who still do not properly know what people's mind-set is like. What the south Korean people want is a total drop of the traitorous policies going against the desire of the nation and the trend of the times and an immediate resignation of the "pragmatic government."
The Lee group would be well advised to behave itself, seriously accepting the results of the election as the stern warning of the angered people to it and their firm will to put an end to the traitorous policy without fail.

Looking At Mona Together
Time: 50 minutes
Overview of the Lesson Focus on the first five questions which rely on visual evidence. Encourage a free flow of conversation and urge each student to participate in the discussion. Ask students to not only talk about what they see, but to physically point out what they notice in the reproduction. Ask students to justify their ideas with evidence they see in the artwork.
Focus on the first five questions which rely on visual evidence. Encourage a free flow of conversation and urge each student to participate in the discussion. Ask students to not only talk about what they see, but to physically point out what they notice in the reproduction. Ask students to justify their ideas with evidence they see in the artwork.
During the discussion, remember to focus on the major points of How to Look at a Work of Art which you have outlined on the board.Reaction:
How did this work strike you when you first saw it yesterday?
Encourage a number of students to express their first reactions. If you have trouble getting students to talk, be ready to read one or more stimulating comments from the journal pages completed in the first lesson.Description:
Describe subject matter - people, objects, symbols, action setting.
What do you see in the artwork?
Guide students to describe the woman, where she is seated, how she is dressed, her body posture, her physical features and facial expression. They should also recognize that this is a portrait, which they will discover later set the standard for High Renaissance paintings in many ways. The relaxed, three-quarter pose was a decided contrast from the stiff, profile portraits that were the norm at this time.
What is in the background?
Ask students to describe the landscape and geographic characteristics - hills, mountains, water and roads. Speculate on where the setting might be located.
Do you have an idea about the time of this artwork?
Students will obviously assume that it took place a long time ago ( 1503 -1507) and some may even know that it was done during the Italian Renaissance.
Is anything happening in the painting?
Hopefully students will see that although there is no overt action, that Mona's eyes and her mysterious smile indicate internal or psychological action.
What colors, lines, shapes, textures do you see? Do they relate to your first impression?
Students will notice the muted colors, the dark colors of Mona's dress and hair contrasted with the lighter background landscape. Point out the luminous quality of Mona's face and hands. Help students focus on details, such as the repeated lines on the sleeves of her garment, the curving lines of the roads, the oval shape of her face, the circular lines of trees and the jagged triangles of the mountains.
Perhaps the most important line in the image is the subtle curve of her mouth. Ask students if they see another line that is not directly shown - but implied. Call on a student to trace the direction of Mona Lisa's eyes to emphasize how she is looking to the right of the viewer.
How do you think this artwork was made?
Focus on clues that indicate that this is a painting. Students may consider the particular type of paint used - in this case the new oil medium. Help students see that there are no sharp outlines in this work. Later students will find out that Leonardo pioneered stumato or the layering of thin, translucent glazes. He compared this to "smoke" - suggesting that the forms seems to melt and blend together without definite edges.
Formal Analysis: How is the work organized?
What is the most important part of the painting? What is the focal point? Why do you think so?
Help students see that woman's hands and face stand out because they are light and luminous in contrast to her dark clothing and hair. Students may also notice that the composition is triangular. Ask them to trace the triangular shape of the figure. Another important aspect of the work is the use of perspective, with all lines leading to a single vanishing point behind Mona Lisa's head. Ask students to look for the horizon line, which is repeated in the railing behind the figure. The repetition of light draws the viewer's eye around the painting, but always back to the face and hands.
Formal Characterization: the overall impression or expressiveness (the mood of feeling)
How would you describe the mood or feeling of this painting? Why do you think so?
Students may think the work is intriguing, mysterious, haunting, sad, tentative, content or a range of other descriptions. The important thing here is to ask them to state what they see that provides evidence for their opinion. For example, the subtle colors and tones may support a sad or pensive characterization.
Interpretation: what is the meaning?
What is the artwork about? What is the artist trying to communicate?
Ask students to consider everything they have discussed from the visual clues in the work to offer an interpretation. For example, students may focus on the famous smile.
Why is she smiling?
Possible responses: I think she's smiling because she has a secret; I think she's smiling because she's happy; I think she's smiling because she thinks she's better than everyone. These are all projections of meaning based on visual qualities.
Help students expand these assumptions by referring to other qualities in the artwork - her placement and posture, the background, her clothing. For example, the student that thinks Mona Lisa is arrogant can point to the fact that she sits proudly, clothed in a luxurious fabric and is sitting in front of a beautiful landscape that she could own. Or, students may think that her facial expression- the direction of her eyes and the smile, are what creates the effect of intrigue and mystery.
2. Tell students that they have done a good job of discussing several interpretations for Mona Lisa relying only on visual evidence. The next questions on the guide, How to Look at a Work of Art, focus on information that is not in the work of art, but comes from external evidence - historical/cultural context learning about the artist and his life and what was happening at the time. These are the questions they will consider later in the unit to add to their interpretation of Mona Lisa.
Practice and Feedback
1.Give each student a copy of the Student Journal Page, Analyzing Mona Lisa, and ask them to write about the most important things they learned about the artwork . Forms for duplication are in the Master Copies Section.
2. Ask students to share their responses and new ideas about the artwork and record them on the chalkboard or chart paper. Refer to questions raised in the first lesson to see if they have been answered. Ask if there are new questions to consider. Summarize the various ideas about the meaning of the work. Summary of the Lesson
Tell students that they have made good progress about solving the puzzle of the Mona Lisa by discussing the visual evidence in the work and speculating on its meaning. In the next lesson, they will find out what some experts have said about the work, about the artist and the time during which he lived. This information will also help students arrive at an interpretation.
Informal Learning Assessment
1. Review student journals to see if students have described important aspects of their learning and added new ideas to their interpretation of Mona Lisa. See Student Performance Assessment Section for form to duplicate for this lesson.
2. Record your observations and general reactions to students' work and group discussion in your Teacher's Anecdotal Record. See Master Copies Section for forms to duplicate for this lesson.

Alec Baldwin, Other Celebs Turn Out for PCRM Gala
Photos of PCRM's 20th Anniversary Celebration Now Available Online
WASHINGTON—Celebrities and supporters of the Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine (PCRM) turned out on Saturday night, April 16, for PCRM's 20th anniversary gala celebration in Washington. Master of ceremonies Alec Baldwin was joined by Alicia Silverstone, Daryl Hannah, film director Morgan Spurlock (Super Size Me), and Emmylou Harris, who sang three numbers. The event, held at the majestic Organization of American States headquarters near the White House, attracted a crowd of nearly 400 people, including many prominent physicians. Initial PCRM estimates were that the gala raised $300,000.
Photos of the gala and the celebrities are available free to media. In addition, there was a silent auction of hospital scrubs hand decorated by a host of celebrities, including Whoopi Goldberg, Bill Maher, Rene Russo, Anthony Hopkins, Woody Harrelson, Noah Wyle, Jamie Lee Curtis, Clint Eastwood, rock legend Grace Slick, and others. One auction winner paid $2,500 for a walk-on part in the next film of Hollywood director Wolfgang Petersen (Das Boot, Troy, The Perfect Storm, In the Line of Fire).
Highlights of the 20th anniversary celebration included a presentation on a groundbreaking new insulin assay devised by PCRM scientists, the debut of a new public service announcement about healthy eating and cancer prevention narrated by Academy Award-winning actor Sir Anthony Hopkins, and presentation of The Benjamin Spock Award for Compassion in Medicine by Mary Morgan, widow of the late pediatrician.

This is Renyang Liu's story of the strange way in which HOST came to his rescue just before he went to spend New Year with hosts in Cornwall.
It was on a Sunday afternoon just before the end of the year., I took a train from Reading to Bournville in Birmingham to attend an interview. The dress code for that interview was formal so that I took my suit in the suitcase. However when I arrived at hotel I found I forgot to take a shirt with me. All the shops was closed, also there would be not enough time to buy a shirt on Monday. I asked the reception for help but got nothing. Then I met the chef in the hotel, who would like to offer me his shirt. Unluckily it was too large for me.
Then I came up with that the other student who will go to host together with me was studying in University of Birmingham. I had got in touch with him several days before, so I made a phone call to him to ask does he have a shirt and does he live far away from Bournville. Luckily he has a shirt, which turned out to fit well for me. Also where he lives was near Bournville. So I took a train and found him to take the shirt and we had a short talk. The feeling was wonderful as I got unexpected help when I almost lost all my hope.
The visit at New Year was much more enjoyable than I expected. I not only learned how British people celebrate the new year, but also enhanced lots of knowledge on traditional skills. Like gardening and how to make pasty, scone. What's more, the host is knowledgeable so that there was a lot of knowledge and opinion exchange on current affairs and the history. Also it's a good chance to relax myself.
Thanks HOST so that I can have the invaluable experience and made new good friends.

McQueary Family Health Sciences Hall dedicated
With the 5,000 square foot second wing completed and open to students, the McQueary Family Health Sciences Hall was dedicated at 3 p.m. April 20.
A significant gift from the McQueary Family helped fund the expansion of the building on the corner of Kimbrough and Cherry, which is currently used by the physical therapy, public health and biomedical sciences programs. The expansion houses an anatomy laboratory, classrooms and offices for various health-related programs. The anatomy lab will be used by physical therapy, physician assistant studies, sports medicine and nurse anesthesia students.
"The McQueary family has always been involved in this university for several generations," said Brent Dunn, vice president for university advancement. "We are so pleased we have a building that bears their name and honors their support for many years. They have an interest in all aspects of the university but have made their living in the health industry with their wholesale pharmaceutical company; so it is fitting the Health Sciences Hall is named in their honor."
William M. McQueary started a family business in the early 1900s when he opened a drugstore on the corner of Madison and John Q. Hammons Parkway. William McQueary's sons, William Les and Frederick Gordon McQueary, then founded McQueary Brothers Drug Company in 1924. The McQueary Family's legacy of giving was inspired by Les and Jennie McQueary, who enjoyed Missouri State athletics, leading to the couple's children, Fred M. McQueary and the late William T. "Bill" McQueary, serving as the first co-chairs of the Bears Fund in 1982. Fred and Ramona McQueary and Bill and Shirley McQueary, and their families, have continued the long tradition of support of Missouri State University.
"The state-of-the-art anatomy laboratory and high-tech classrooms made possible by this generous gift from the McQueary family will enhance teaching and learning and enable us to accept more students into highly competitive health programs," said Dr. Helen Reid, dean of the College of Health and Human Services.
More information about Our Promise: The Campaign for Missouri State University is available on the university website at www.ourpromise.missouristate.edu. Anyone wanting to give to the campaign can do so online.

It looks like it's about 99.5 percent certain that the unbeaten Zenyatta will run in Saturday's $300,000 Grade 1 Clement L. Hirsch Stakes, according to Del Mar officials.
A Del Mar spokesperson said early Sunday evening that the 6-year-old Street Cry mare, 17-0 in her career, will gallop at Hollywood Park on Wednesday morning and then ship down to Del Mar later that day.
Zenyatta is scheduled to gallop over Del Mar's synthetic Polytrack surface Thursday morning and then will school in the paddock later that day during the afternoon's eight-race card.
Trainer John Shirreffs is expected to enter Zenyatta in the Clement L. Hirsch when post positions are drawn Wednesday. He could still scratch her later if the track is not to his liking.
Zenyatta, 3-0 in 2010 following victories in the Santa Margarita Handicap at Santa Anita, the Apple Blossom at Oaklawn Park and the Vanity Handicap at Hollywood Park, would be trying to become the first horse to win the Clement L. Hirsch three times. She became the first three-time winner of the Vanity on June 13.
Shirreffs told The Daily Racing Form late last week that Zenyatta could possibly run in the Grade 1 Beldame Stakes at Belmont Park on Oct. 2, which could set up a possible showdown against 2009 Horse of the Year Rachel Alexandra.
Rachel Alexandra, 2-2 this year, is scheduled to run in the $300,000 Grade 1 Personal Ensign Stakes at Saratoga on Aug. 29.

I like this girl but she acts awkward around me?
I try to talk to her but she just seems stuttery and awkward, or barely says anything. she's been nice to me before at least. I wonder if she... Show More
Most Helpful Opinion
From what you describe, it sounds like she is just shy. I'm like that too. Does she look away from you or at the floor, blushes, ony says like 3 or 5 words in a sentence, that kind of thing? For some girls, including myself, it's just hard to get up the confidence to look a guy (especially a guy we like) in the face and flirt so boldy. I think she does like you, especially if she doesn't run away or avoid you. also, she just may not know how to flirt. Be patient and nice, try to let her know you want to get to know her and maybe even tell her straight out that she shouldn't be afraid to look you in the eye because you already think she's beautiful, that kind of sappy stuff ;)
What Girls Said 6
She's just trying hard not to make a fool of herself in front of you and since she already stuttered a million times she thought shutting up was the best resort. Maybe she doesn't know how to flirt and would like you to take the lead. I mean I used to be like that which is why I'm suggesting you go and just tell her your attracted to her. If she trips over her tongue again just try to make her laugh so she can calm down. She's acting that way because she obviously likes you but is not comfortable with the light you're blinding her with macho man hint, "she doesn't try to get away from me."
Can you be a bit more specific? It's a bit difficult to answer to a rather general question.
For example:
What do you mean by saying she's been nice to you?
What are the situations that she doesn't try to get away from you?
You mentioned she soesn't flirt with you. But do you try to flirt with her?
So you like this girl and the girl is acting awkward when the two of you are together. You are not sure if this is a good sign or a bad sign. It may be a good sign. Some girls have a hard time flirting or are shy. You should keep trying if you have the patience to do so. You will find out sooner or later how she feels about you.
