Eau De Parfum: Edition 02 - Shiso
A perfume of cool air, pale sun, new life unfurling on the forest floor, this mystical perfume channels the energy of spring: sensual heat against cool, damp air. Shiso leaf (also known as perilla) is the unexpected star of this scent: It has a slightly spicy/fresh characteristic that's green, earthy, and delicate all at once. Its complex simplicity is similar to Ikebana, the art of Japanese floral composition: The shiso note is closely hinged on the other notes, so the scent begins simply and then slowly opens up into spicy greens, crushed stems, and ancient exotic woods.
- Offered in 0.5 fl oz or 1.7 fl oz
Non-Gmo Sugar Cane Alcohol/Alcool De Canne Sucre Non-Ogm, Aqua, Citrus Aurantifolia (Lime) Fruit Extract, Triethyl Citrate, Juniperus Mexicana Oil, Vetiveria Zizanoides Root Extract, Pogostemon Cablin Leaf Extract, Citrus Limon (Lemon) Peel Extract, Cistus Ladaniferus Resin Extract, Zingiber Officinale (Ginger) Root Oil, Salvia Sclarea (Clary) Oil, Cistus Ladaniferus Oil, Bulnesia Sarmientoi Wood Oil, Perilla Frutescens Leaf Extract, Eugenia Caryophyllus (Clove) Leaf Oil, Cuminum Cyminum (Cumin) Seed Extract, Aquilaria Agallocha Wood Oil, Evernia Prunastri Extract, Betula Alba Oil, Limonene, Citral, Linalool, Eugenol, Evernia Prunastri (Oakmoss) Extract, Geraniol, Citronellol, Farnesol, Isoeugenol

How we define "natural" fragrance
We say that goop fragrance is "composed entirely of natural ingredients" and "made with natural essences." What do we mean, exactly, by that?
First off, there is no official definition of the term "natural" by the FDA, which governs cosmetics. (source)
When we say that our goop fragrance is composed of natural ingredients, we mean that all of the ingredients were extracted from a plant by steam or heat extraction, cold pressing, or carbon dioxide extraction.
Below is a complete list of the ingredients in our perfume and an explanation for how each ingredient was extracted from the plant.
- Non-GMO Sugar Cane Alcohol
- Water
- Citrus Aurantifolia Fruit Extract - extract of lime obtained by molecular distillation.
- Triethyl Citrate – Citric acid extracted by molecular distillation from citrus peels and egg whites.
- Juniperus Mexicana Oil - extracted by steam from the Mexican juniper.
- Vetiveria zizanoides root extract - essential oil extracted by steam from vetiver roots.
- Pogostemon Cablin Leaf Extract - molecular distillation of patchouli leaves.
- Citrus Limon Peel Extract - cold pressed, essential oil of lemon peel.
- Cistus ladaniferus resin extract - labdanum absolute obtained through ethanol extraction
- Zingiber Officinale Root Oil - extracted by steam from ginger root.
- Salvia Sclarea Oil - extracted by steam from clary sage leaves.
- Cistus Ladaniferus Oil - labdanum absolute obtained through ethanol extraction
- Bulnesia Sarmientoi Wood Oil - palo santo concrete obtained through solvent extraction.
- Perilla Frutescens Leaf Extract - essential oil extracted by steam from shiso leaves.
- Eugenia Caryophyllus Leaf Oil - extracted by steam from clove leaves.
- Cuminum Cyminum Seed Extract - CO2 extraction of cumin seeds.
- Aquilaria Agallocha Wood Oil - extracted by steam from agarwood.
- Evernia Prunastri Extract - oak moss absolute obtained through ethanol extraction.
- Betula Alba Oil - extracted by steam from the birch tree.

Welcome to the first installment of the Monday Postmortem, a new feature here on MLSsoccer.com in which we break down the most recent week of action as the push for the playoffs heats up.
As potential weeks to launch a column go, this one could hardly have been better: There was a hat trick in Toronto (though not by a Red), one of the most hotly anticipated games in league history in LA, a pair of record unbeaten streaks extended and, of course, the unruly playoff picture.
Also: For the second straight week, no scoreless draws!
Let's get to it:
Showdown In Tinseltown
Has enough been said about this game? Maybe. Maybe not. So, here are three (hopefully) new thoughts on this one and its aftermath:
- The Dane Richards Paradox: We asked Mrs. MPM for a definition of "paradox" last night, and she immediately shot back: "a seeming contradiction that is nonetheless true." Well played, Mrs. MPM.
The Richards Paradox is that he is simultaneously boneheaded and brilliant. No player in the league, and maybe the world, combines the two qualities like Richards does. Frequently in the same play. Friday night's game encapsulated the phenomenon. Multiple promising attacks fizzled at his feet, causing Red Bulls fans to slam their foreheads, and he scored a goal and set up the other one in the Red Bulls' big win. It's really quite something. Fortunately for New York fans, though, the good has far outweighed the bad recently. Richards has three goals and an assist in his last five games.
- Joel Lindpere has been the most consistent Red Bull—and the most valuable. He scored the first goal of the year for New York back in March, setting the tone that he's maintained all season, up to and including Friday night. He was, as usual, excellent on both sides of the ball, and he banged one off the post to set up Richards' opening goal.
- He may not know the expression, but Hans Backe has been "playing possum." This solid, comprehensive victory was the Red Bulls' best result of the year—and it came without their most gifted player, Thierry Henry. For us, one of the leading indicators of Red Bull title-readiness was the excellent performance of the central defenders, Tim Ream and Carlos Mendes. When newcomer Carey Talley went down with an injury, Mike Petke came in to the middle and Mendes moved out wide. Number of beats skipped: zero—just like the number of goals allowed. Despite what their coach says, this team is ready to compete for a championship now.
Playoff picture
Toronto, Chicago and Kansas City all faced must-win games, and all three stumbled. Now the gate is even wider for the Western Conference to put dibs on six of the eight postseason berths.
It's not a done deal—the above three teams are still mathematically alive—but if we were looking at the possibility of six Western teams last week, we are now going nose-to-nose with it.
If the season ended today, here's what the matchups would look like:
Columbus vs. Colorado
New York vs. San Jose
Los Angeles vs. Seattle
Real Salt Lake vs. Dallas
Contenders to pretenders
Of the three Eastern Conference teams that couldn't get it done, Kansas City surprised us the most – We thought they'd ride the momentum of their dramatic comeback win over Houston on Wednesday, and take three points at home against Dallas. It didn't happen. They lost 3-1 and now sit five points shy of the eighth and final playoff spot with five games to play.
(Quick sidenote before we leave the Wizards: Did you see Kei Kamara's rocket off the bar against Houston this past Wednesday? [WATCH] He didn't score, but Sweet Mother of Science did he hit that thing. We're surprised the ball survived the impact. Too bad they didn't have the radar gun out at CommunityAmerica that night. That shot was Aroldis Chapman-esque.)
Toronto couldn't overcome three goals by the Quakes' Chris Wondolowski, and fell 3-2 to drop seven points south of Playoff-ville, which is pretty much a case of "you can't get there from here."
We know that MLS doesn't have a Most Improved Player Award, but if it did, league brass could hand it over to Wondolowski right now. The 27-year-old attacker out of Chico State had never scored more than five goals in a season before. He has 12 this year.
The Fire took a shot to the gut on Saturday at Toyota Park, in the form of an 88th-minute winner by Seattle DP Blaise Nkufo. The only goal of the game, it pretty much put Chicago out of business for 2010, 12 points behind with six games to play.
Colorado kept pace with the playoff in-crowd, earning a draw at Rio Tinto Stadium against a Real Salt Lake team in the midst of a busy stretch of games and resting several starters. A stoppage-time header by Real Salt Lake's Nat Borchers salvaged both the tie and RSL's record 24-game home unbeaten streak.
The defense rests ... when it should be working
While there were some terrific goals in Week 26, there was an equal helping of shoddy defending.
The Wizards-Houston game last Wednesday—as thrilling as Kansas City's 4-3 comeback was—featured some horrendously soft goals, and the euphoria of KC's victory papered over, to some extent, their real flaws on defense.
Those flaws were exposed on Saturday by a better team—Dallas—who pierced the Wizards D twice inside the first 15 minutes and extended their club-record unbeaten streak to 17 games. Dallas also finally, you know, won a game, instead of racking up their 234th tie of the season (we're ballparking that number).
Matador D was also on display in the Toronto-San Jose game, Philly's 3-0 rout of Chivas USA, and in Columbus's 2-2 fightback at New England.
Last ... and, sadly, least
The battle between once-great franchises Houston and D.C. United pretty much typified DC's season as a whole: Rookie sensation Andy Najar scored a goal and tormented Houston's D on many occasions, but United made enough mistakes to lose 3-1. Coach Ben Olsen put it perfectly: "We let each other down again."

For generations on Easter Sunday morning, churches everywhere transform into a collage of hats, especially in the black community.
On that Sunday in particular, and even on other Sundays of the year, one can expect to see straw hats, felt caps and velvet bonnets; every shape, size, and color, festooned with bows, jewels and feathers reaching for the heavens.
Also important to remember is that a hat is not just "a hat," it is an attitude and a way of being.
At the seventh annual H'attitude Awards Scholarship Luncheon on March 23, women of the North Sarasota community were recognized for the many "hats" they wear — both real and symbolic.
Women today often wear the hat of mother, father, business person and community volunteer.
More than 150 people attended the luncheon and hat show.
This year more men than ever also supported the cause. They included Ray Booker, Frank McKay, Dennis Cloves and the Rev. Neal McArthur.
Dr. Edward James II, host of "Black Almanac" on ABC7, served as master of ceremonies.
At this year's event, the Business Professional Women of North Sarasota honored two Women of the Year and a Member of the Year.
The Women of the Year recognition went to Helen James of Sarasota County for her work as a campaign volunteer establishing a phone bank and mobilizing volunteers for President Barack Obama's re-election campaign, and Faye Butler of Manatee County, a member and immediate past president of the Women's Council of Realtors Manatee Chapter since 1999 who volunteers with the American Diabetes Association, St. Jude Hospital for Kids, and Big Bro Task Organization for Unsung Heroes.
Gwen Sermon, a retired teacher and longtime BPW member, was the surprised yet humble recipient of the Member of the Year Award.
Lucinda Louis was recognized as the recipient of the Speak Off Contest award by BPW President Sandra Washington.

Pets Best Insurance Editorial Manager
Do you practice preventive care for your cats? Like any good cat owner, you probably do the basics: flea prevention, vaccines, and cat insurance. But what about the food you feed them? Do you believe that all cat food is the same? Are you intimidated by pet food ingredient lists?
While most cat owners research medications and cat insurance options in depth– many don't spend nearly as much time looking into pet food.
Veterinarian of over 30 years, Greg Martinez DVM is part owner of the Gilroy Veterinary Hospital in Santa Clara Valley. Dr. Martinez wishes his clients would pay a little more attention to what they feed their pets.
"30% of my medical cases are related to common allergenic commercial ingredients in pet food," wrote Dr. Martinez in an email.
Allergic reactions from pet food can appear as a variety of cat health symptoms. These include diarrhea, ear infections, and dry, itchy skin.
Hyperallergenic ingredients in cat foods that cause the most cat health care issues include wheat, soy, corn, beef and even fish. These are general ingredients you should seek to eliminate from your cat's diet. Taking that step will be more beneficial than ruling out "by-products." The term "by-product" simply refers to different parts of an animal, when in fact this is what cats are supposed to eat.
Cats are carnivores, meaning they need to eat animal-based protein. Pet food companies often rate their protein levels from plant-based proteins like grains, corn, and rice. These ingredients are often used to keep prices low, but they also keep the quality of nutrition low.
Starting at home, paying more attention to the ingredients you feed your cat can help him overcome or prevent issues that often result in stressful vet visits.

Planetary Annihilation: Total Annihilation With Planets
That headline may seem obvious, but wow. So Total Annihilation (and, more recently, Supreme Commander) were big, but Planetary Annihilation is shooting for the stars. And potentially shooting at them, as well. It's all the absurdly large-scale mechanized warfare you've (probably) known and loved since the late '90s, but now you can zoom out into space, build a fort on an asteroid, and then crash it into an enemy planet. So basically, total insanity. After the break, you'll find a video from Super Monday Night Combat maestros Uber Entertainment explaining their ambitious RTS (ambitiouRTS, for short) and – yes – asking for money.
As explained by Planetary Annihilation's Kickstarter, the project's being headed up by former Total Annihilation devs, and the aim is to raise a whopping $900,000 to realize their grand vision in full. It certainly looks and sounds promising, though – especially when backed up by words like this:
"Play a quick skirmish with a friend on a single planet map with a low unit cap or a 12+ hour game with 40 of your closest frenemies and thousands of units. You can also hone your skills against Planetary Annihilation's AI or team up with a friend against multiple AI's."
"Create custom or randomized maps with our procedural planet creator. Like what you see? Save them and share them with the Planetary Annihilation community… Our engine will allow you to explore vast, new procedural worlds with diverse terrain and build on everything from small, airless rocks to huge earth-type planets. No two maps are exactly alike."
Uber's also touting "advanced modding features" and a return to the RTS glory days of yore. So basically, it's the now all-too-familiar nostalgia-rooted Kickstarter song and dance, but linked to a serious attempt at doing something new. Or – at the very least – making the old stuff so big that it can no longer fit on a single planet.
I'd be lying if I said I wasn't rooting for it, but support it or don't – it's your call. As for me, I'm pretty hungry right now, so I'm gonna go bake some meatballs and have horrific trouble restraining myself from pretending they're tiny asteroid starbases.

The Samsung SM226CW got off to a good start as soon as it came out of the box as it looks great.
The shiny black bezel contrasts with the matt-silver strip running across the bottom of the display and the aluminium power button looks very smart. Samsung uses a blue LED to illuminate the power button, it looks really cool.
Sophisticated looks
The flying start came crashing to the ground when we found the picture looked strange on an analogue connection.
We had the Samsung display driver correctly installed and the resolution was set to 1680 x 1050 pixels, but the image was stretched to such an extent the icons in the system tray vanished off the edge of the screen. Even when using the Auto Adjust button it made no difference.
However, switching from analogue VGA to digital DVI transformed the Samsung, as we now had a pin-sharp image that was, more importantly, the correct size.
Colours looked vibrant and strong without being overpowering in Normal mode and we felt no need to make any adjustments beyond a tweak of contrast and brightness.
Display settings
However, if you like a variety of settings for different occassions, MagicBright offers are Custom, Text, Internet, Game, Sport, Movie or Dynamic Contrast and, as the OSD can only list four items at a time, they are spread over two pages.
That seems over complicated and we were unable to see any difference between Game and Movie.
Our advice is you should leave MagicBright alone to avoid unnecessary confusion, but of course that's something of a moot point as you won't consider buying the SM226CW unless you have a digital output on your laptop.

Man robbed in Monroe area on NYE
Police urge residents to report crimes immediately
MADISON, Wis. — Madison police are urging residents to report crimes as soon as they happen after a 22-year-old waited days to report a mugging, according to a release.
The 22-year-old reported being mugged around 1 a.m. on New Year 's Day a couple days later, police said. He was walking home from a New Year's party and was robbed in an alley near Monroe Street.
According to the release, he was between Regent Street and Oakland Avenue when he was mugged by two men who approached him from behind.
One of the robbers punched the man and the two robbers fled with his money, Madison police said.
The 22-year-old told police he did not know what to do after the attack so he ran to his apartment and went to bed, according to the release.
The two robbers are described as black men in their late 20s. One is described as being 6 feet 1 inches tall and was wearing a dark hooded sweatshirt. The second robber is described as being 5 feet 10 inches tall and wearing dark jeans and a dark-colored hooded sweatshirt.
Madison police urge residents to call 911 immediately following a crime because the faster officers can get to scene, the better likelihood there is that a suspect or suspects might be apprehended.Madison crime map

Both the PeeWee and Junior PeeWee teams are undefeated this season, as the MA Vikings continue to their march into the upper echelon of Peninsula Pop Warner football.
For the players, coaches and other volunteer supporters and fans of the Vikings, it's been a spectacular season of fun, success and learning the love of the game.
Good luck in this weekend's playoff semifinal match-ups!

Poster - thanks for the post. A minor correction on the location of the PeeWee game below -
MA Vikings Jr. PeeWees, extending their undefeated season, coached by Harold Atkins and staff, play Saturday at 9 a.m. at Thompson Field in Alameda vs. Berkeley Bears, as you correctly listed.
MA Viking PeeWees play Sunday at 11 a.m., @ WOODSIDE HS, vs. the Hollister Vikings.
The MA Vikings PeeWee squad, coached by Steve Stenstrom and staff to a magnificent 7-0-1 season earning the top seed in the playoffs at their age group, play Hollister AT WOODSIDE HS, not at MA. Hollister and MA played earlier in the season to a tie, the only game not won by the MA PeeWee team this season. One anticipates a great matchup and highly entertaining game at Woodside.
All winners this weekend advance to the Peninsula Pop Warner League Championship round next weekend in San Jose.
Good luck to all!

We've got a couple of casting stories for you this evening. First up, Jesse Eisneberg is set to star in director Richard Ayoade's (Submarine) adaptation of Fyodor Dostoyevsky's novella The Double. Vulture reports that in a spot-on bit of casting, Eisenberg will take on the lead role of a government clerk whose life is destroyed after what he believes to be an exact copy of himself begins working in his office and attempts to ruin his life.
Additionally, Nick Nolte has joined the cast of Taylor Hackford's revenge thriller Parker. Stars Michael Chiklis and Wendell Pierce tweeted their enthusiasm on the first day of filming, revealing Nolte's casting (via The Playlist). Based on Donald Westlake's series of crime novels, the film is intended to start a new franchise with the title character, this time played by Jason Statham. The cast includes Statham, Chiklis, Pierce, Jennifer Lopez and Clifton Collins Jr.

LAS VEGAS -- Miss Utah Marissa Powell is the latest beauty queen to trip on national television, not over her gown, but during the interview segment.
Asked about income inequality at the Miss USA pageant in Las Vegas Sunday night, the 21-year-old Salt Lake City resident gave a rambling, awkwardly-worded answer that included several long pauses and the phrase "create education better."
The cringe-inducing response was getting lots of buzz Monday. As a video of the episode racked up hundreds of thousands of views, pageant co-owner Donald Trump scolded the haters on Twitter, saying anyone can lose their train of thought.
The question was a bit of a head scratcher itself.
"A recent report shows that in 40 percent of American families with children, women are the primary earners, yet they continue to earn less than men. What does this say about society?" asked NeNe Leakes of the reality series "The Real Housewives of Atlanta."
Undaunted by the three-in-one prompt, Powell started off strong:
"I think we can relate this back to education, and how we are continuing to try to strive ... to ...," she said, before appearing to lose her way.
She picked up after a long pause: "... figure out how to create jobs right now. That is the biggest problem. And I think, especially the men are ... seen as the leaders of this, and so we need to see how to . create education better. So that we can solve this problem. Thank you."
Despite the stammering answer, she came in third runner-up.
Miss Utah is not the only beauty to mangle the interview. Face palm answers are part of the appeal of the live show and hers was certainly not the worst recorded in a pageant.
Miss South Carolina took that crown with her 2007 "such as"-filled response to a question about why Americans can't find their own country on a map.
That word soup answer managed to include South Africa, Iraq, nation building and an allusion to a map shortage in the U.S.
Miss California 2009 brought the phrase "opposite marriage" into the mainstream when she told gay blogger Perez Hilton she opposed same-sex marriage.
Last December, Miss Venezuela became the talk of the Internet after she attempted to answer a question in English during the Miss Universe contest in Las Vegas. Her answer was unintelligible at times, and fans said it cost her the competition. But at least she had a language barrier to blame.
Miss Utah, who was still trending on Twitter a day after her flub, was keeping quiet amid the fallout.
But she did have this to say on her Miss USA page, "It's not all about winning. It's about examining yourself, improving and striving to showcase your individuality."

Study on Policy Adjustments ---Based on Changing Policy from "Ban" to "Limit Fireworks in Beijing
Any policy adjustment has profound reasons, and policy of "ban" on fireworks and firecracker in Beijing changed to "limits" is also a response to specific issue under the concrete space and time. The discussion on the reasons of policy adjustment is helpful to understanding of the influencing factors of policy execution so as to bring the suitable policy into full display and unsuitable policy an end. Beijing city forbade setting off fireworks and firecrackers during1993-2005, while now Beijing lays a limit to set off fireworks and firecracker, which is interact ional result of policy environment, policy itself as well as policy subject and others.

originally posted by GE at IPR. Headline by Fred Church in the comments.
In response to House GOP leader John Boehner's comments to Reason's Dave Weigel — that conservatives considering a vote for Bob Barr "might as well vote for Barack Obama" — the LP has issued a press release with harsh words for the GOP and its leadership.
Libertarian Party spokesperson Andrew Davis said that Boehner's comments "reflect the same fallacy of thought that has put America in its current situation, with neither Republicans or Democrats offering the solutions voters want to hear."
Davis also said Boehner's comments were "a symptom of the same delusion that cost Republicans control in 2006."

"Mmm-mmm! Lookin' asexy! Why thank you..."
Asexuals are people who, for some yet unknown reason, were born without the innate capacity to understand why lady lumps are so very lovely, or why anyone would go to the trouble of writing, performing or producing a song about how lovely they are - much less why such a song would be worthy of winning a Grammy. Though some people (mostly complete morons) simply believe being asexual is just an excuse for being ugly.
Asexuals are not interested in sex at all, even though many are in happy relationships, marriages, and committed partnerships. Relationships between asexuals have a number of advantages, including a vastly reduced likelihood of having to spend many years corralling a herd of screaming brats through McDonald's drive-thrus and Wal-Mart.
Famous Asexuals in Fiction and Literature[edit]
There are a number of suspected asexual fictional characters, including Arthur Martin from the show Six Feet Under, and Doctor Who. In addition, all Imaginationland residents are asexual.
What to do if you think you may be asexual[edit]
If you are unsure whether or not you may be asexual, and are curious to know what sex is like without having to actually try it with someone, there are a number of ways this can be accomplished. Sex is an assault on nearly all of the senses, and can be simulated thusly:
- Sound: This can be approximated by repeatedly inserting a cucumber into a jar of mayonnaise.
- Smell: For this, you will need several ears of corn, a can of tuna, and either a scoop of used cat litter or a used diaper. Combine these ingredients in a trash bag, let sit at room temperature for 24-48 hours, then open the bag and take a whiff.
- Touch: Sneak into your local gym, steal several bodybuilder's sweat-soaked garments when they are not looking, take them home and wring them out all over yourself. For maximum effect, do this in conjunction with previous step.
- Sight: Watch a video clip of Terri Schiavo or Jim Carrey. This will give you some idea of the stupid facial expressions your partner will be making.
- Taste: Yeah... pretend this one is non-applicable for now.
If you are still curious to try sex after completing the above exercise, then you are most likely not asexual. If, on the other hand, you now wish to burn your genitals off with a flamethrower to prevent sex from ever happening to you, then there is a good chance you may be asexual. However, before you rush out to Flamethrowers 'R Us, you might want to visit this site and talk to other asexuals first, as Flamethrowers 'R Us offers group discounts: http://www.strait-a.net

Manufacturing industry was the largest contributor (46%) to total BERD. Property and business services, Mining and Finance and insurance industries were the next largest contributors to BERD at 23%, 11% and 9% respectively. The net increase in BERD between 2002-03 and 2003-04 was attributable to a 28% increase by the Mining industry, and a 13% increase by the Manufacturing industry. It should be noted that mineral exploration is excluded from the definition of R&D (table 25.8).
Manufacturing and Property and business services industries contributed the highest levels of human resources to R&D at 49% and 30% of total effort respectively. In 2003-04, the Mining and Manufacturing industries recorded increases in human resources devoted to R&D from 2002-03, of 43% and 6% respectively. Finance and insurance, and Property and business services industries also showed increases of 17% and 18% respectively. Wholesale trade recorded a decrease of 13%.(table 25.8).
Engineering and technology, and Information, computing and communication sciences were the research fields with the highest R&D expenditure, at 54% and 26% respectively (table 25.9).
Engineering and technology, and Information, computing and communication sciences research fields recorded the highest proportion of total human resources effort on R&D, contributing 49% and 33% respectively (table 25.9).
In terms of socioeconomic objectives, business directed 90% of R&D expenditure into Economic development ($6,532m). About 6% was directed towards Society, 3% towards Defence and 1% towards Environment. Within Economic development, Manufacturing was the subdivision with the highest expenditure ($2,929m) followed by Information and communication services ($1,125m) (table 25.10).
The same pattern applied to human resources devoted to R&D, with 88% (33,700 person years of effort) directed towards Economic development, 7% directed towards Society, 4% towards Defence and 1% towards Environment. Within Economic development the subdivisions with the highest proportion of total human resources devoted to R&D were Manufacturing (44%), and Information and communication services (20%) (table 25.10).
Information was collected by the ABS in 2003-04 on biotechnology-related R&D. Biotechnology is the application of science and engineering principles to living organisms as well as parts, products or models thereof, to alter living or non-living materials for the production of knowledge, goods and services.
In 2003-04, 304 businesses performed and/or paid another to perform biotechnology-related R&D, totalling $378m in expenditure. As businesses could both perform and pay another to perform their R&D, the sum of businesses in table 25.11 is higher than the actual count of businesses (304). There was $271m (4% of BERD) of biotechnology-related R&D expenditure, which was performed by 227 businesses. There were 155 businesses which paid $107m to others to perform biotechnology-related R&D (table 25.11).
Property and business services industry reported the highest number of biotechnology R&D active businesses and the highest level of expenditure on both biotechnology-related R&D performed by the business ($187m) and paid to another ($81m) (table 25.11).
Most businesses classified their biotechnology-related R&D to Human health which represented $263m or 70% of total biotechnology-related R&D. Agricultural biotechnology had the next highest expenditure of $43m or 11% of total biotechnology-related R&D expenditure.
Of the 304 biotechnology R&D active businesses, approximately half (155) paid others to perform biotechnology-related R&D. There were 145 businesses which paid one or more Australian organisations to perform biotechnology-related R&D on their behalf. Of these 66% paid a university or other higher education institution, 13% paid the Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation, 30% paid another government or private non-profit research institute, 27% paid a contract research organisation and 15% paid another business.
There were 36 businesses which paid overseas organisations to perform biotechnology-related R&D. The locations most frequently reported were the United States of America, England and Canada.
The most common reason cited for outsourcing biotechnology-related R&D was a lack of technical skill/expertise.
Expenditure on R&D carried out by Commonwealth, and state and territory government organisations in 2002-03 was $2,482m, a 5% increase on expenditure in 2000-01 (table 25.2).
The research fields in which most government R&D expenditure took place were: Agricultural, veterinary and environmental sciences ($761m, or 31%); Engineering and technology ($424m, or 17%); Biological sciences ($263m, or 11%); Earth sciences ($242m, or 10%); and Medical and health sciences ($198m, or 8%) (table 25.12).
A slightly different pattern applied to human resources devoted to R&D, with Agricultural, veterinary and environmental sciences accounting for 32%; Engineering and technology 17%; Medical and health sciences 12%; Biological sciences 11%; and Earth sciences 7% (table 25.12).
In terms of socioeconomic objectives, most government sector R&D expenditure ($1,341m or 54%) was directed towards Economic development (table 25.13). About 20% was directed towards Environment, 12% towards Society, 11% towards Defence, and 2% to Non-oriented research. Of the amount directed towards Economic development, $377m (28%) was directed towards Plant production and primary products; $278m (21%) towards Animal production and primary products; and $233m (17%) towards Manufacturing (table 25.13).
A slightly different pattern applied to human resources devoted to R&D, with 51% directed towards Economic development, 18% towards Environment, 17% towards Society, 13% towards Defence, and 2% to Non-oriented research (table 25.13).
Estimated expenditure on R&D carried out by the higher education sector in 2002 was $3,430m, an increase of 23% over expenditure in 2000, and 34% over expenditure in 1998 (table 25.2).
The major fields of research in which higher education R&D expenditure took place in 2002 were: Medical and health sciences ($864m, or 25% of total expenditure); Biological sciences ($410m, or 12%); Engineering and technology ($375m, or 11%); and Agricultural, veterinary and environmental sciences ($235m, or 7%). Direct labour costs accounted for 42% of total R&D expenditure (table 25.14).
A slightly different pattern applied to human resources devoted to R&D, with 19% on Medical and health sciences, 10% on Engineering and technology, 10% on Biological sciences and 6% on Agricultural, veterinary and environmental sciences (table 25.14).
In terms of socioeconomic objectives, most higher education R&D expenditure ($1,474m or 43%) was directed towards Society. About 29% was directed towards Economic development, 21% towards Non-oriented research and 6% towards Environment. The major subdivision within Society was Health with 28% of total R&D expenditure (table 25.15).
A similar pattern applied to human resources devoted to R&D, with 44% directed towards Society, 29% towards Economic development, 20% towards Non-oriented research and 7% to Environment (table 25.15).
Expenditure on R&D carried out by private non-profit organisations in 2002-03 was $360m, an increase an 24% on expenditure in 2000-01 (table 25.2).
Medical and health sciences comprised the major research field for R&D expenditure in the private non-profit sector, accounting for $221m (61%) of the total R&D expenditure in 2002-03. Labour costs continued to be the main component of R&D expenditure (50%) (table 25.16).
Medical and health sciences also comprised the leading research field in terms of human resource use (table 25.16).
In the private non-profit sector, Health was the main socioeconomic objective, accounting for 90% or $324m of total R&D expenditure. Education and training accounted for $20m (6%), while $11m (3%) was directed towards Economic development (table 25.17).
A similar pattern applied to human resources devoted to R&D, with 92% directed towards Health, 4% towards Education and training, and 2% towards Economic development (table 25.17).

Received the dress in just over a month, was a little big but that was my fault as I ordered larger just incase.

Before starting the quest for a maternity wedding dress, women should first determine how far along they are going to be at the time of the wedding. By carefully figuring this out, the bride to be can determine the size of the dress as accurately as possible. The fit of the dress is the next thing to decide upon, and many pregnant brides choose to accentuate their baby bump. However, this is optional, and brides who do not want to stress the fact that they are pregnant may go for a looser fitting. In any case, it is important to avoid trying to hide the pregnancy because often this just makes it more obvious.
Moms to be should think about fabrics when it comes to choosing their dream wedding dress. Different fabrics give different styles, with some of them being more comfortable than others. Women should have a clear idea about their budget for the wedding and choose their dress accordingly. When buying a maternity wedding dress, it is vital to make sure it goes well with the theme and colour palette of the wedding.

Hello I'm Denise from Castlegar, British Columbia, Canada. I've recently discovered Pixel and am starting to use it more and more. I am a mother of two beautiful children 9 and 10. Both our children are adopted from Russia and I started digital scrap-booking to get their life-books going, so wish me luck. We also just went to Disneyland in February. I have a home-based business of making jewelry, garden ornaments and a lot of alterations on clothes as well as a bit of upholstery work and I also work part time at a Credit Union. I love to Garden, quilt, camp, hike and paddle in our dragonboat. I am a breast cancer survivor and am a team member on a dragonboat team, Kootenay Robusters. I'm looking forward to using Pixel.
Introduce yourself!
Welcome everyone! Thanks for saying hello!
Hi everyone, my name is Ginny. My husband and I retired to PA a couple years back. We have 6 children and 10 grand children. I love to doodle, paint, garden, and sew a little from time to time etc.
Hi! My name is Erin and I'm from South Florida. I found PixelScrapper through Pinterest and was immediately drawn to the designer side of challenges and want to learn how to my graphic design skills to design all my ideas for scrapbook kits.
I started digital scrapbooking in 2008 but after about a year I had a computer die on my and I lost all of my pages and elements. Having a crazy work life and a 4-yo DD at the time, I lost all my motivation to start over again.
6 years later and I was recently laid off due to re-org and I am trying to start a graphic/web design freelance company, but also trying to explore other options (AKA figure out what I want to be when I grow up).
I'm on my 5th year as a Girl Scout Leader and have TONS of pictures to scrap into photo books just for that.
My other personal hobbies are reading, gaming (tabletop and video), Ren reentactment and theatre.
Hello everyone! My name is Sophia. I live on the gorgeous island of Maui, and I'm a newbie to Pixel Scrapper. I came across it as I was scouring the web for digital scrapbook freebies. I'm also very new to digital scrapbooking in general, I've only been doing it now for about a month (paper scrapping since I was about 10), but it's addicting! Especially with a 3 month old who loves to get his picture taken!
A warm welcome to you all! I hope you´re having fun with us!
Hello everybody, my name is May and I live in Massachusetts. I love designing, painting, and photography. I am a preschool teacher, as well as a business owner. I love Pixel Scrapper, and found it by accident not too long ago, and I am so thankful for all of the fabulous resources available. Thanks so much!!
Wanted to say hi and introduce myself. I am Cindy mom to 5 kids and I live near Houston Texas. I started scrapbooking a little bit in high school, I put together some books before leaving for college. But I really got started after I got married. My mother in law had-has- a room dedicated to scrapbooking and so I got started and she taught me alot. I have scrapped on and off over the years due to having kids and life. After I had my twins 8 years ago (well 6 years ago because I had no time for the first 2 years of their lives) I switched to digital scrapbooking learned I could scrap a page once and then slightly alter it and print it twice. I never made a big investment in paper scrapping because I could use all my mother in law had to offer. But I have invested in the software and some learning to learn to digital scrapbook. I go thru phases of working and then life getting busy, but right now we are scrapping, so far 20+ 2 page layouts since the start of the year. I am always looking to learn how to do better. I love templates because my time is limited and they help me work faster.
I also love to Cook and try new recipes and to sew and I love to swim!
That is me, we will see how much time I can spend here.
Welcome May and Cindy! Thanks for saying hello!
Hi everyone, my name is Cass. I live in Harare, Zimbabwe - a small country in southern Africa. I am a 40 year old mom to a son of 21, whom is currently away at University. I work restoring old photos, and have put together digital photo books for customers. I am always been interested in scrapbooking, but have found the hands on using actual paper a challenge... so I am really happy to start doing it digitally, totally in my element. I am really enjoying Pixel Scrapper, it's so inspiring.
I love photography and being creative and would love to do more with both as I now have a bit more time on my hands.
My name is Marzia (or Mitzina for web friends) and I am from Italy. I'm a scrapbook newbie, but I love anything is creative. I'm a primary school teacher and most of my projects are connected to children and school. I own a Silhouette Cameo cutting machine and I love using it in many ways.
You can see my works in my blog Le Cose di Marzia
Sorry for my bad English...
Welcome everyone! Glad to have you!
Hello, all!
My name is Jannina and although I am not a scrapbooker, I use the designs in projects that I create. All my life I have traveled. Born in Brazil to American diplomats in 1973, I was a nomad until about 4 years ago. My main residence is in Maryland, but I am in Florida for a few months. My formative years were spent in Chile, Guatemala, Portugal, and Virginia. I went on to live in Spain, Venezuela, Iowa, California, Florida, and now Maryland. I love to travel. Every November, like clockwork, I get "itchy feet." I try to go on a vacation around that time.
I have a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Design and Technical Theatre, as well as a Bachelor of Science in Digital Entertainment and Game Design. Although I was always type A personality and heading up the ladder, my bout with chronic migraines and Fibromyalgia stopped me in my tracks. I spent 2 years bedridden. However, I am grateful. It taught me to let go of all the superficial "important" stuff and focus on that which fulfills me. I spend most of my free time studying on alternative medicines and health practices, spending time with friends and family, reading, writing, painting, digital design and game design.
I have a greeting card line at MoonDreams Designs on CardGnome. I also have designs that I sell online for prints, canvases and other items (MoonDreams Designs on Zazzle). Another passion that I have is to help students and artists find alternatives to pirating software. Because of this, I began a blog in which I locate free or reasonably priced software and apps. Feel free to visit me at MoonDreams Designs Blog.
Keep Creating!
Hello everyone! I'm May, from Indonesia.
I have been playing around with Photoshop for some time, but only recently I try to create digital scrapbooking with it.
Thankfully I find this website. And I must say, I just LOVE it!
Thank you Marisa Lerin for founding this website.
The monthly blog hop is genius, it's creatively inspiring.
Welcome everyone! Thanks for saying hello!!
Hi! My name is Marti, I am from Kentucky, USA. I am happily married with 5 children and 3 grandchildren. I am also an ICU nurse, so I stay very busy!
I am not new to scrapbooking, in fact I used to manage a scrapbook store. I only got into digital scrapbooking about 6 years ago after we closed the store. I like both forms, but I love the versatility and cost effectiveness of digital. I am an amateur photographer, so I am never without photos to scrap!
Looking forward to hanging out here to get inspiration and motivation! Thanks Marisa!
Welcome Marti! Glad to have you here!
Hi. I just learned about your site from "Mayhemmama." My name is Sharon and I live in Missouri. I have been digital scrapping since 2008 and paper scrapping before that since 1996. I love the creativity of scrapping as well as keeping memories of my family. I usually print my layouts in Shutterfly books. I have also combined digital scrapping with my interest in genealogy and made a couple books about my family history and my husband's family.
Hi, my name is Robin Ackler from Pennsylvania, USA and I just joined this site. From just looking around I see some beautiful designs I can't wait to DL. I love making photobooks for my grandkids from our trips we take each summer and would love to share them once I find my way around this site.
Welcome! Thanks for saying hello!
Pixel Scrapper is my new happy place I currently live in Richmond, VA but I previously lived in Florida for over 30 years. I've also lived in Spartanburg SC, St. Louis, MO, and Erie, PA {where I was born}. I'm a young empty nester {I'm 43}. My daughter is attending college in Florida {I miss her like crazy} but I'm enjoying "me" time. I never did paper scrapbooking but blogging led me to digital scrapbooking which I love! I am really into vintage/retro designs and I've found several gorgeous vintage-themed items in here.
I'm also an animal lover---I have 5 cats and 1 dog.
Nice to meet you all,
Good Morning everyone,
My name is Jennifer and I like to call my self a Beginner when it comes to digital scrapbooking. I had started off with paper scrapping about 3 years ago but found it to be extremely messy and very time consuming. I started digital scrapbooking about a year ago and fell in love. I can neatly keep all my files in one place in separate folders instead of clustered all over the place in drawers.
I have looked upon the pixel scrapper site a while back and have had some things in my life that had pulled me away from my passion of scrapbooking. I know feel I have the extra time to get back into it again.
I do love all of the amazing kits made by the designers here and ways for each of us to get to know each other. I find this an amazing site. I have always wanted to make my own kits but do not know quite where to begin. So that is a work in progress. I am a mother of two beautiful preteen boys and have been happily married for the last 4 years. I do thank each of you for welcoming me to your great community and can't wait to get to know each of you.
My name is Vicki Andersen and I live in a little town in Utah. I have been digi scrapping for over 10 years. (probably abt 13-14 years) SERIOUSLY I was scrapping digitally when I found a really low end program and I didn't even know how to scan in color or even put in a text box and nobody knew what I was talking about and no one could help me. I was determined to learn how all this worked. Finally one day I discovered that I wasn't the only person on the face of the earth (which I thought at the time) doing this and I nearly fainted I was so thrilled. Since then I have learned everything I could and got a better program (Photo Shop) and I LOVE it. I have talked and talked and now I have several friends who also digi scrap and I love new sites. When I found this one I thought WAHOO because I do at least 150 pages per year and I always need new ideas and new kits. I hope to find new friends here and am excited to be a part of this community.
I'm Jeannie. I'm from Sioux Falls, South Dakota.
I started out making tags in 2010 or so & eventually got into making tagger kits around mid-2012. A lot of my kits are 'experimental' or inspired by a band I'm very very fond of. LOL BUT! I have fun making them & love seeing what others can do with them.
I have to say I stumbled across this site/ store, etc. recently & I'm in awe at all the fabulous talent here. You all are amazing at what you do & I love seeing the creations you all share.
Thank you for having me here.
Welcome everyone to Pixel Scrapper!
After introducing myself I started to wonder when I really did my first digi album so I went back through my books to see if I could find it...and I DID. I couldn't believe it. My first digi album I did in 1977 GACK I didn't know it had been that long. That would be 17 years since I first decided to digi scrap
Oh my goodness Vicki I did not even know digi scrapbooking was around then! I am truly amazed as I am fairly new to it all, just about a year and I know I have to much still to learn. I currently use GIMP and it is a work in progress I tell ya. LOL Nice to know some one here has been doing this for a while. And Nice to meet you
Hi, my name is Judy as you can see and I found this site looking through Youtube videos. I decided this looked like a wonderful place to call my home away from home and I wasn't wrong. This is a great place and Marisa, you have done a wonderful job building this empire.
If you'd like to see why I started scrapbooking, please see my about me. It's kind of a sad but bittersweet story. Hopefully, I can contribute to this community and l'm looking forward to many years here.
Thank you to all designers who give so much of their time.
This is a photo of my boy, who was rescued outside the nursing home back in 2012 and who is my heart. Hopefully my photo works.
Hi, I just stumbled on this site a few days ago and can't believe I didn't find it sooner. Looks awesome! I love to scrapbook/make cards and have a small home business that gives me an outlet for my love to create and keeps me busy!
Wow Vicki! That's A LOT of scrappin'!

Yesterday, Kevin brought you a story of how the mothers of high-profile recruits can impact where their sons play their college football.
Today, less than 24 hours from the start of National Signing Day, it's a father, in concert with his better half, who's attempting to influence where his son signs.
Malik McDowell is a five-star defensive end from Southfield, Mich., rated as the No. 2 strongside end in the country by Rivals.com and the No. 1 player in the state of Michigan at any position. The player would like to stay in-state and play for Michigan State. The father? Not so much.
"I want him out of Michigan. … We're basically at the same point, his mother and I, as long as he gets away from Michigan we don't care where he goes," Greg McDowell told 247Sports.com. "From when we talked Friday he's coming around because he knows how adamant we are about him not attending Michigan State.
"I don't have anything bad to say against Michigan State but I don't think they're the school for my son. I think the coaches are cool and they're establishing a good program, but this is my son and I choose to not want him there. If he were to choose Michigan State I don't know what I would do. It is what it is. I just want my son away from this environment and Michigan. I want him out of here."
The elder McDowell would prefer his son sign with either Ohio State or Florida State. McDowell took an official visit to Columbus this past weekend, two weeks after doing the same in Tallahassee.
Because of geography, though, the Buckeyes could have a leg up on the Seminoles — if Malik McDowell doesn't follow his heart and head to East Lansing against his parents' wishes, that is.
"(He is thinking about) what it's all going to turn out to be as far as family also," the father told the Detroit News. "I feel like he is thinking about my mom, his grandmother — a lot. His mom's parents are both deceased, so he only has my mom and my father, and my father is disabled. He wants to keep it close to home as far as my mom being able to come see him. Not just on TV. That's something where he is very thoughtful in that way about her."
McDowell, who's also considering the University of Michigan, is expected to announce his decision at 9:30 a.m. ET Wednesday morning, with his father stating that "hopefully he'll make the right choice for himself and the family as well."
No pressure, kid. No pressure at all.

All about arms
With all pitchers and catchers now accounted for, the team hit the field today for the first official workout of the Spring. Manager Bud Black addressed the club's battery candidates at 9:00 this morning and then it was off to Field 1 for running, stretching, PFP (pitchers fielding practice) and then bullpen sessions.
The Padres have 29 pitchers in camp this year, split into squads A and B. The 14 pitchers in squad B were the first to take the mound this Spring (naturally?) with squad A throwing in the bullpens tomorrow. Today's hurlers included Gregerson, Frieri, Street, Brach, Hamren, Vincent, Cashner, Mikolas, Thayer, Boxberger, Burns, Thatcher, Spence and Hinshaw.
While we're on the subject, let's glance back at the often overlooked accomplishments of last year's staff. Led by coaches Darren Balsley and Darrel Akerfelds, the 2011 Padres ranked 3rd in the Majors with a 3.42 ERA. Starters posted a 3.62 mark that ranked 4th among all NL clubs while relievers were 3rd in the league with a 3.03 ERA.
2011 marked the second consecutive year the Padres posted a sub-3.50 team ERA and the fourth time in the last six years that the club has had a sub-4.00 team ERA.
In the eight full seasons that Balsley and Akerfelds have been working together as pitching coach and bullpen coach (dating back to 2004), the club has posted a 3.91 ERA that ranks tops in the Majors over that span. During that stretch, the Padres have finished among the top three NL clubs in team ERA on four occasions ('06, '07, '10, '11), including two first place finishes ('06, '07).

Hello Brooklyn is a hip-hop and pop band from New York City. Since the band's creation in 2011, many talented musicians have helped shape and mold Hello Brooklyn's sound into its signature energetic singalong dance party that performs over 100 times per year. The band is fronted by lead vocalist Liz R. (NYU/Columbia) and keyboard / saxophone / rapper Ray Ramos (Villanova). The duo is currently starting their 5th year together on stage. Drummer Jeff Hatcher (NYU) has been with the band since March 2013. Anthony Rubbo (Montclair University/NYU) returns to the band in 2016 after spending the past year on tour with Ryn Weaver. Karl Markgraf (University of Northern Colorado) joined the band on bass in November 2015. We would like to say thank you to everyone that has been a part of this collective over the years. We've had some seriously amazing musicians come into our lives and we are grateful for their friendships. And of course we love getting to meet new people from club owners and bartenders, to sound crews and bouncers, this experience has fostered lifelong relationships. And to our friends, families and fans who continue to come out and see us... we thank and love all of you for your support and encouragement. While we take the quality of our show seriously, we never take ourselves too seriously... and that's what makes this whole thing so much fun. Our band could be playing in front of 500 people or 50 people and we will put the same effort into our show because we just love playing music. We just want to hangout and have a good time... to entertain you... to entertain us... and for the couple of hours that we are on stage and together partying with you the only thing that truly matters is that we're all feeling good and living a little out loud. Come out to a show and do what we do, let it all out. No stress... no drama... no worries and just follow our lead and scream and dance dance away! Liz, Ray, Jeff, Anthony & Karl Hello Brooklyn

They are hard to detect – tiny devices that look like markers or lip gloss, easily hidden in backpacks among a jumble of school supplies.
Teens can fill them with simple flavor cartridges, but they can also load them with marijuana oils or nicotine inserts that smell like watermelon or piña colada or nothing at all.
They are electronic cigarettes, and their sudden explosion in popularity on school campuses in the last 12 months is catching school officials across the state by surprise.
"This is coming on fast," said Greg Wolfe, a state Department of Education health education consultant. "There are types of behavior that can catch you unaware."
Though e-cigarettes have been around for several years, the sudden proliferation is matched only by the surge in destructive prescription drug use among teens a decade ago, Wolfe said.
"We are hearing that the number one topic among these school districts is the rapid onset among teens of using these electronic devices," Wolfe said.
So, with the new school year rapidly approaching, school officials, prevention coordinators and campus safety officers are scrambling to update policies, educate parents and figure out the best way to combat the trend.
Indeed, the e-cigarette craze is so new that most of Orange County's 28 school districts have yet to include the devices in discipline and tobacco-free campus policies, said Stacy Deeble-Reynolds, the county Orange County Department of Education's prevention coordinator.
"We have districts where administrators have not even heard of e-cigarettes or how they work," Deeble-Reynolds said. But that doesn't mean kids aren't using them.
"I have heard reports of students at junior highs being caught with e-cigarettes or paraphernalia," said Joanne Fawley, president of the Anaheim Union High School District's teachers union.
There are a variety of styles among electronic smokes, including e-hookahs; some are disposable, others are rechargeable; some look like pens or markers; others are clearly high-tech smoking devices. They all convert liquid flavor packs, including nicotine, into mist that can be inhaled by smokers.
But, so far, most information on how prevalent they are on campuses is anecdotal – because the devices are so easy to conceal.
"They are being used in classrooms and teachers aren't even aware of what they are," said Kimberlee Homer Vagadori, project director of the California Youth Advocacy Network. "The hookah pen looks like a pen, and you can just use it in class, chewing on it, and no one will notice it unless you are blowing out a lot of vapor."
Tobacco prevention coordinators say they don't know why popularity of the electronic vaporizing among teens surged in just the last six to 12 months. But they have a few theories.
One possibility: They come in cool colors and fun flavors, and manufacturers recently increased marketing efforts.
There is also less of a stigma attached to e-cigarettes than traditional tobacco products, Vagadori said.
"I think the youth are thinking, 'This is not tobacco," Vagadori said. "We hear all the time that it's just water vapor."
Indeed, many adult e-cigarette users say the devices have helped them quit smoking, and tout their lack of tar or carbon monoxide.
But there is little data yet to indicate what the long-term health impacts of the devices. Because they contain nicotine, the products can be addictive, Deeble-Reynolds said.
Still, even school officials tasked with preventing teen e-cigarette use say they aren't sure if the devices are all that bad.
"It is a difficult one because kids don't see it as that big of a deal and it's hard to argue that it's dangerous, other than smoking the nicotine," said Orange County Sheriff's Deputy Brian Gunsolley, a school resource officer at Laguna Hills High School.
There may even be a small benefit to their use: Gunsolley said as e-cigarette use has climbed, he's seen traditional cigarette use on campus drop.
"At the beginning of the year, kids were smoking more cigarettes," he said.
Penalizing students caught on campuses with e-cigarettes or vaping devices is also difficult.
To begin with, school safety officers have to catch the students.
"They can be odorless, and when they walk around on campus it's hard to see with 3,000 kids running around," said Orange County Sheriff's Department Sgt. Michael Pixomatis. "You can't just go up and search every kid."
At Laguna Hills High, Gunsolley finds most e-cigarettes through anonymous text tips from students.
And then there's the matter of what to do with students once you catch them.
Although it is illegal to sell or furnish e-cigarettes to minors, there is no law prohibiting minors from possessing them, said Sgt. Manuel Chavez of the Santa Ana Unified School District Police Department.
"There is really no law for us to enforce at this point," Chavez said.
The Sheriff's Department, which provides safety officers to schools in more than a dozen Orange County cities, cites students under a penal code that prohibits minors from possessing tobacco and tobacco paraphernalia, Pixomatis said.
But Chavez said his department doesn't issue citations because the code pertains to tobacco and contains no language about e-cigarettes. Instead, Chavez said Santa Ana officers write administrative referrals and confiscate the vapes.
It's unclear if e-cigarettes should be considered paraphernalia, or even how to tell if they are being used for nicotine instead of nicotine-free flavor inserts, law enforcement officials said.
"It's all vague and not spelled out as much as we would all like to be comfortable with," said Ed Harrison, a spokesman for the Orange County Probation Department.
That vagueness, however, disappears when the devices are used for smoking marijuana oils or concentrated marijuana wax.
If a Santa Ana school police officer catches a student using an e-cigarette for marijuana, they arrest the student for drug possession, Chavez said. Of the roughly dozen e-cigarettes Gunsolley confiscated last year, three were used for marijuana.
Gunsolley brings one of the devices when he gives presentations on emerging drug trends. It looks like a small, pink rectangular lip gloss. But when Gunsolley presses a button on the side, it emits a faint sizzling sound, and a small cloud of nearly odorless marijuana vapor pours out of the top.
One way of using e-cigarettes for marijuana is called waxing, Gunsolley said. The term describes a process where THC, the active ingredient in marijuana, is extracted from the plant and turned into butter or wax.
Gunsolley said he makes a point of going to e-cigarette websites to get a sense of the most current products so he can keep an eye out for them.
"We are always a little behind, because the nature of teenagers is that they are so secretive," Gunsolley said.
The Sheriff's Department is planning a series of public presentations in August to educate parents about the devices and other emerging trends, Gunsolley said.
"As a parent community, I think we are just learning about the drug delivery application of these devices," said Martha McNicholas, president of the Capistrano Unified Council of PTSA.
Even if campuses haven't seen issues this year, they acknowledge e-cigarettes may pose future challenges.
"It could become a tricky problem in a year or so," Fountain Valley High principal Chris Herzfeld said. "We could see an uptick in usage for a while, but I don't see it as a big problem right now."
To get a sense of how best to direct prevention efforts, the state is adding – for the first time ever – a question about e-cigarette use to its biennial Healthy Kids Survey. The agency will distribute the survey to schools this fall, and release the results sometime in 2015.
Prevention coordinators aren't waiting until then to tackle the issue. Deeble-Reynolds said the Orange County Department of Education OCDE plans to send out information this summer to local districts "strongly encouraging" them to update school policies to include language banning the devices and clearly specifying penalties for bringing them to school.
A few districts, like Huntington Beach City School District, already include e-cigarettes in their campus policies. Others, like Anaheim Union, are working with the OCDE to update their policies, Deeble-Reynolds said.
Capistrano Unified updated its tobacco-free policy at the end of last year to include the e-cigarettes. Starting next year, students in Capistrano Unified bringing e-cigarettes or other electronic vaporizing devices to campus will be subject to a minimum penalty of Saturday school for possession, and up to a five-day suspension if caught using the devices.
"It is one thing to say 'this is outlawed,' " Deeble-Reynolds said. "It is another to say, 'This is what we are going to do if you get caught.'"

NATO and the African Union pursue dialogue on Libya
On 31 May 2011, the NATO Secretary General, Anders Fogh Rasmussen, and the Chairperson of the African Union Commission, Jean Ping, met to continue discussions on the Libya crisis.
Jean Ping, Chairman of the African Union with NATO Secretary General, Anders Fogh Rasmussen during his visit on 5 April 2011
During the meeting, the Secretary General made clear that NATO's Operation Unified Protector was in full compliance with the provisions of United Nations Security Council Resolutions 1970 and 1973 to protect the civilian population against any attack or threat of attack. Mr. Rasmussen also stressed the importance of keeping up dialogue with the African Union, as well as all key international and regional actors, as part of the International Community's effort to come to a political solution to the ongoing crisis. Mr Rasmussen praised the very good practical cooperation with the African Union and renewed NATO's commitment to this relationship.
Mr Ping previously visited NATO Headquarters on April 5th, when he met the North Atlantic Council.

31 artists...31 days. Spend every day of March with me at The Altered Page to meet the 31 spotlight artists in my book The Pulse of Mixed Media: Secrets and Passions of 100 Artists Revealed. See their beautiful faces, read their 'quirky' bios written in their own words, see some of their art that led me to invite them to be a part of my book, and hear my story of what they each mean to me. Then click on over to their sites and see what they have to say about The Pulse of Mixed Media.
I feel naked without a camera in my hand. When you are a photographer I think it trains you to see life differently.
I can't imagine a world without art.
Angela Cartwright is a creative inspiration. As I am sure most, if not all of you know, she is Angela Cartwright the actress, of The Sound of Music and Lost in Space fame. And she is Angela Cartwright the artist, working in mixed media, photography and shadows, as can be seen on her blog and website. And she is Angela Cartwright the author of several art books and, along with Sarah Fishburn, the creator of the spectacular zine Pasticcio Quartz. And she is Angela Cartwright the designer of artful clothes and home decor.
She is also a wonderful, supportive, down-to-earth friend. She was a participant in my first online edition of The Pulse, way back in early 2008, and has been part of the later editions as well. She has generously spotlighted by art and my blog in her zine and on her own blog. I have appreciated the inspiration she has provided and look at her as a model of somebody who sets her sites on a goal and a dream...and works to successfully achieve that goal and make her dream come true. Thanks for being a muse to many Angela!

Deep within a flooded cave in Mexico's Yucatan Peninsula, along with skeletons of saber-toothed tigers and giant sloths, scientists found the oldest complete human skeleton yet discovered in the Americas. The skeleton of a teenage girl, nicknamed Naia, was first found by a team of divers exploring the Hoyo Negro cave in 2007. The deep pit, part of a complex cave system, reaches more than 100 feet below sea level.
Besides being a completely awesome exercise in underwater archeology, the team of scientists studying the skeleton think that it provides critical information that will help us understand the human colonization of the Americas.
The first humans arrived in North America from Northeast Asia via a land bridge. After entering what is now Alaska about 20,000 years ago, they slowly spread into the continent. But archeologists studying the remains of paleoamericans from several thousand years ago have found that, morphologically, the skulls and teeth of early Americans were more similar to modern people in Africa or Australia than to modern Native Americans or Siberian people. These differences suggest that either the Americans were colonized more than once or that evolutionary changes after colonization were responsible for the mismatched traits.
This question has remained under debate because very few skeletons of ancient Americans have been discovered to fill in the gap. Fewer than 30 remains have been found that are older than 10,000 years and only five from more than 12,000 years ago. Of these few remains scientists have, it's rare to have intact skulls and teeth to work with.
Which is why finding Naia submerged in a cave was such a big deal—she's by far the most complete set of remains found that is at least 12,000 years old.
How did researchers find out her age? Traditional radiocarbon dating on the collagen in the bones didn't work since the material was not preserved well under water. But there are some other indications of age. For starters, geologic history suggests that the caves began flooding about 10,000 years ago, as the last ice age ended. Before the cave permanently flooded, calcite crystals formed on the human and animal bones in the damp cave, similar to how stalagmites form from water droplets.
These formations, referred to as florets by the researchers, came in very handy. They were also found on other bones in the cave, those from saber-toothed tigers and ground sloths, which were largely extinct by 13,000 years ago.
The florets also allowed the researchers to try a radiometric dating method using thorium and uranium, which is commonly used on calcium carbonate materials such as the bone florets. It works because uranium in the water gets deposited in anything that precipitates from it, like the florets. Then, once the cave is inundated and the florets stop growing, the uranium decays to thorium. Measuring the ratio of the two isotopes allows the scientists to calculate an age.
Using this technique, the researchers determined that the minimum age of the bones is 12,000 years old. A separate analysis on the tooth enamel suggested a maximum age of 13,000 years, leading them to conclude that the 15- or 16-year-old girl fell into the cave between 12,000 and 13,000 years ago. Her broken pubic bones suggest that she fell, but otherwise, the skull and bones are largely intact.
Morphologically, the skull shape is similar to that of other American remains that are greater than 10,000 years old. The scientists report that her face is short and broad, with a broad nose and wide-set eyes.
Unlike many older skeletons, the scientists were able to extract DNA from one of her molars. Using techniques developed for DNA fragments from ancient specimens, they sequenced it and found that on a key characteristic, she fits in a lineage of Asian descent found only in the Americas. The signature in question in commonly found today in indigenous people from Chile and Argentina.
The DNA evidence linking her to modern indigenous Americans and the morphological evidence consistent with other skeletons studied from the same era strongly supports the idea that the Americas were only colonized once and that, subsequently, the new American populations evolved in their new landscapes.
