Should term limits be imposed on Congress?
This debate has made for many impassioned, provocative, yet fruitful discussions between myself and others. On the one hand, some call for the imposition of term limits (much like the 2-term limit on presidencies) on Congress in order to ensure the interests of "The People" are valued. These same persons believe that should term limits be imposed, Congress will be more openminded, able to understand the youth of the nation, be more attentive to the problems of today versus those of yesterday, and more technologically advanced, educated, and modernized.
On the other hand, some argue term limits would destroy all sense of stability in the Congress. These same persons claim that Congressmen and women who have served for terms on end are much more aligned with the political system, experienced in writing, debating, and passing legislation, and ultimately hold a better understanding of America and its governmental institutions than their newer and/or younger colleagues. As such, they argue term limit imposition would damage the Congress, "The People's" representation, and ultimately the United States.
Still, others compromise and call for term limits on the House of Representatives, which is meant to be more volatile and more keen to the immediate concerns of the "The People" while leaving the Senate immune to term limit imposition, as it is meant to be more stable and more keen to the longterm concerns of the Union.
Dec 10 2012: Congress members should definitely have term limits. if you are re relected infintely only because you have been part of the senate is kind of ridiculous. It's like America's democracy is afraid of taking one step out of its political comfort zone. It's a poor excuse that our government will lose stability. By putting this term system in our Senate gradually, Stability would not be lost and a new and better democratic system would be placed in order.Nov 29 2012: Age and citizen restrictions have been a part of the Constitution since it's creation so that is a rather moot point.
I want the right to vote for who I believe is the best and most qualified candidate. I apologize for using the word "like" in my above statement I did mean "who I feel is most qualified for the office." Again, if I cannot vote for the most qualified person due to term limits, I feel that my right to vote is being limited.
Nov 29 2012: I agree that the qualifications for the office of POTUS cause, ironically, the possibly most qualified person to be ineligible. That is the limiting nature of qualifying requirements. Remember, the question here is not about the President, but about Congress.

Nov 28 2012: They started term limits in Calif in the early 90s. It did not change anything. The reason is that the staffers stay on and train the freshman law makers to the same old crap.
- +1
It might be worth a try but if you kept the same support staff of which it would be hard not to I'm skeptical it would make much difference.
I think the real problem is the culture of the beltway. The only thing that will create real change is an educated constituency that will vote out politicians that stray and putting the Charlie Rangel types in jail. But alas with the dumbed down population we have now that is not likely to happen.
Nov 29 2012: I agree. Citizens need to have more political efficacy and there needs to be a larger form of effective grassroots lobbying in America.Nov 28 2012: Each of us should evaluate this subject based on facts, and that would be on our own states representatives and what they have contributed to the country and to your state. In my case that would be Carl Hayden 56 years in Washington, Barry Goldwater 27 years, and John McCain 18 years.
Of the three Carl Hayden put the Central Arizona Canel in place. It was designed to bring water to the desert farmers, however it was cost prohibative and never met expectations. Barry Goldwater and John McCain, in my opinion, share the same footnote in Arizona politics. They had a deep and abiding love affair with themselves. Their whole career has been to glorify themselves. In the case of McCain he reminds us of his "Hanoi" days every time we see him. I cannot name another Hanoi prisoner .... can you? John McCain is a ledgend in his own mind. Neither Goldwater or McCain have contributed one thing to my state. McCain did sponsor the "crybaby Law" because more people donated to Bush than to his campaign ... this was the direct result of the Political Action Committee (PACs).
So Arizona has three Senators who served 101 years in Washington and we have a canal that is to expensive for farmers to water from.
Two ... McCain and Goldwater ... ran for president ... that led me to my thought that all politicians should resign their position in concert with the announcement to run for another office effective immediately.
I cannot think of one good reason that if any of these three were term limited that it would have had any negative effect on the United States or the State of Arizona.
I think that Politics are a service and not a profession. As a profession they lose touch with reality. Politicians are a case of the rich getting richer ... not for sure that was the intention of the founders.
So I vote for term limits. Although I don't see that it will make a difference. One bad penny for another doesn't help much.
Thanks for the time. Bob.Nov 27 2012: I am actually against mandated term limits (in general) as I find that it limits democracy.
As each member of Congress has to run for re-election every 2 or 6 years, if we are unhappy with that person we can vote them out of office (thus limiting their term). I feel that my choices are curbed then I cannot vote for someone who I would like in office.
Nov 29 2012: Do you object to age and citizenship restrictions also? The simple fact that you would like someone to be in office does not suffice as justification and qualification. Surely you agree there must be rules and regulations defining qualifications for elected representatives, even the POTUS. The question is not about the Executive branch, but the Legislative.
Dec 11 2012: Congress is elected through popular sovereignty, and represents the people. The point of a Congress is to make laws that would benefit the people. If the people feel that they are not benefiting from those laws, then out they go.
Essentially, the public opinion of a representative determines his/her term.Dec 11 2012: Yes. Competition breeds improvement. I dont have to improve or even be successful if theres no outside pressure.Dec 10 2012: I believe that term limits should be placed on our Congressmen and women because it would allow for a more efficient Congress. The representatives could focus on actually doing their jobs, rather than simply passing legislation to get themselves re-elected and make themselves look good. The term limits would also allow for a greater degree of representation of the House was capped at 2 terms, or 4 years and the Senate at 1 term, or 6 years. I feel that that is sufficient time to get familiar with how Washington works and to become acquainted with the legislation.Dec 10 2012: I agree that term limits would cause instability in Congress. Term limits would force Congressmen to work faster in order to pass their desired legislation before the end of their time in Congress, and therefore rush the political process. This could cause major unnecessary mistakes and errors in the law making process.Dec 10 2012: I can see both sides of this argument. I do believe that members of Congress are getting too comfortable in their positions, for it is very difficult for new candidates to win against incumbents. It would be beneficial to get fresh perspectives on the issues. However, I understand the argument against term limits. More time spent in Congress means more time to analyze important legislation. More time in Congress also means the Congressmember gains more experience, and will be better prepared for new issues that may occur. I hope to get more information and pick a side after tomorrow's debate.
Dec 11 2012: I agree with you in that both sides of the argument have valid reasoning. I think that term limits would also change the focus of a Congress person's career as a whole by forcing their efforts into their Congressional duties rather than their own reelection. But at the same time, a Congress made up of brand new faces every few years might not only upset stability but also create the same issue that citizens complain about today: the inability of Congress to "get anything done."Dec 10 2012: We believe that term limits can be helpful in Congress. If a politician knows they can not be reelected, their efforts will be more focused on America's issues, not their own campaign. They will not have to make legislation just to get reelected. This will limit the amount of pork barrel legislation passed by Congress. Term limits will allow congressmen to keep more than just their district in mind. More legislation will be passed. Congress will become more efficient. And most importantly the unqualified that continue to win elections because of their incumbent status will be forced out of Congress.
ALSO by CLAUDIA.Dec 10 2012: I believe that term limits should not be imposed on congress because with them it will cause the people of congress to push things through without really taking an in depth look at a bill. These things take a lot of time to be passed ansd with a term limits many things would not even be able to be seen through all the way with the term limits.Dec 10 2012: I believe that term limits should be implemented on Congress. If other areas of the government are expected to maintain stability while respecting term limits there is no reason there should be an exception made for Congress. If Congress had term limits it would force members to make changes faster, more efficiently, and concentrate more on the people than on their on success.Dec 10 2012: We think that term limits should be enstated in congress because it allows for more of America to be represented . The point of a democracy is to emcompass the voice of many, therefore, with term limits on congress men and women, it allows American citizens to choose who they want to be in office. With no term limit, this allows for a congressman to stay in office for however long he chooses, however, the country may not be satified with his work in office.
- Diana and DaijaDec 10 2012: I for one, absolutely agree with term limits being implemented on the congress. As the senate serves for six years, and the representatives serve for two, if they each are able to serve for a twelve year maximum, that is more than fair. That's two terms for senators and six for representatives. With the term limit in place these politicians will not focus on their reelection, and instead work for what their constituency needs.Nov 28 2012: Number 1 the ruling elite will never destroy their careers by voting for a term limit constitutional amendment.
Number 2 - if by chance a limit is imposed it will be for 2 or more terms which negates much of the benefit of
having only 1 term.
The only possible constitutional amendment that will pass thru the political elites is one that does not affect their careers and in fact offers new career possibilities which brings me to my solution which also involves the internet and term limits:
Keep everything in our US federal government pretty much the same so the political elites will not be affected - but create a new "Board of Directors" whose members are elected at large to serve 1 term and 1 term only. Their primary mission will be to preside over an internet based "advisory" initiative and referendum system that gets direct citizen input - but they will also have congressional voting rights as possible gridlock swing votes.
In the actual Board election the top raw vote getters would win and thereby be inclusive of third parties. Elections would be held in odd numbered years so we don't have to wait 2 years for the possibility of anything getting done in congress. Half of the board would be elected in each election.
Certainly this would work better than temporary adhoc super committees. Modern organizations run with a Board of Directors - should not our government also have one?
One final point - I think the president's job is too big - Democrat or Republican, even super man/woman would have a tough time. Past presidents have "on the side" helped out but there is still a "training" period. I think it is time to formalize this help by making past presidents members of the Board automatically - they would serve as long as they wanted to, miuch like supreme court justices. and provide added above the fray, big picture, senior statesman qualities.
T. Limits, internet democracy entre', less gridlock, citizen input, improved executive
Nov 29 2012: "if by chance a limit is imposed it will be for 2 or more terms which negates much of the benefit of
having only 1 term."
I'm not sure that representatives never having to worry about reelection outweighs the negative effects of political parties having to field new candidates every election and every representative being a rook who still has to learn on the job (and there won't any experienced mentors to teach them because no one would have more than a few years experience). A 1 term limit is probably not a good idea.
How are you going to be an effective member of, say, a defense oversight committee when you don't get time to read up on all the files and learning the tricks the military tries to pull on you. And that's just one example, something like the ACA act took a long time to make and negotiate about, probably longer than 2 years, so large legislative changes like that would be impossible if you keep replacing all representatives every 2 years. You'd get Italian-style government (new elections and negotations every 2 years so nothing gets done and the country slips away because its laws and regulations are outdated).
Nov 29 2012: The whole point is to get problem solvers in there and less of the politics as usual Democratic/Republican partisan all or nothing mentality - which you still have if you like
because this is a "tweek" "addon" to the existing system that is not subject to term limits.
Your so called rooks are likely] to be above the fray big picture types inclusive of ex US presidents, vice presidents, Ross Perot's, Ralph Nader's, Colin Powel's etc..
Because their main job is overlooking our democratic processes and taking citizen input via
advisory internet initiatives and referendums we have a part of our government that isn't lock step with a static party platform focused on "the base" and reelection.
Thanks for your commentsNov 27 2012: After the Presidency of Bill Clinton I think term limits should be removed from the Presidency anyway. Imagine where we would be, if Bill Clinton were President during those 8 years after "term limits" kept him out of office.

Nov 29 2012: Gee whiz, edward.. I cannot imagine you not appreciating what President William Jefferson Clinton did for our economy and national debt. And I know you must be aware of the enormous negative impact George Bush had on the national debt, respect for the USA internationally, the war in Iraq where he ignored the financial impact on American taxpayers such as yourself, and of course Republican George Bush's creation of the worst financial crisis since the Great Depression. I do not understand how it is you select facts that support your preconceptions, rather than looking at the truths and reality. Try truth, try facts. That's the only way we can get our lovely nation back on the track towards increasing well-being for all human beings.
- +1
Nov 29 2012: Oh, so your comment was meant to be supportive of the hedonist philanderer whose debauchery (truth) and blatant infidelity (fact) caused America to endure the first impeachment hearings since Andrew Johnson (fact)? Wow! Go figure. Character does not matter?
By the way, be careful about using the middle name of the POTUS. I was chastised recently for including the name Barak Hussein Obama in a post.
The national debt today is not the same number it was when Barak Hussein took office (fact). Select that fact when assessing your liberal party of choice and its contribution to well-being for all humans. Do you think 8-years will be enough time for Barak Hussein to clean-up Bush's mess? Thanks again for the strong argument in favor of term limits.Nov 29 2012: The impeachment process was the creation of jealous, ambitious, questionable Republicans who despised the many successes of the Democratic, properly elected President of the USA. That Republican-caused impeachment process cost the American taxpayers/citizens in many ways. You know that. I wonder how you would describe the 8 years our nation was drained and diminished by Republican George Bush. Furthermore, I suspect you are against term limits because you know Republican George Bush would not have been re-elected, if there were no term limits and Bill Clinton would have been re-elected, if there were no term limits.
Nov 29 2012: Your argument continues to strengthen the pro side of the term limit debate. You said, and I quote: "I do not understand how it is you select facts that support your preconceptions, rather than looking at the truths and reality. Try truth, try facts." Well, truth and facts are that William Jefferson was found impeachable for perjury and obstruction of justice by independent (not Republican) counsel. Do you really argue that no wrong was done by Mr. Bill? It is not impossible that he would have been returned to office for a third term. As you point out the only thing that saved this country from such a travesty was term limits. Long live term limits! At least we fellow Americans can agree on that.Nov 29 2012: edward, see my addition to above comment. No, we sisterfellow Americans do not agree with you about term limits. Let's put it to a vote now. If it were possible to re-elect Bill Clinton as President, that is exactly what would happen, barring illegal and improper interference in the election process by Republicans. You know that is true, edward.
Nov 29 2012: Oh my, now you drop the gender bomb. "Sisterfellow"?? That is irrelevant and inappropriate.
Sorry Mr. Bill can't run now because Barak Hussein has the job.
I do not know "that" (whatever you intend by that word) is true. Actually I don't know anything you have said thus far is true, with the exception of the absolute necessity of term limits. Right On sister!Nov 27 2012: Does the same thinking behind term limits for POTUS not apply to Senators and Representatives? If it does then there should be term limits. If it does not we should determine why not and take the appropriate action.Nov 27 2012: The people who were elected base on their support of term limits sometime changed their views over time esp. when they would be applied to said supporters.Nov 27 2012: "Should term limits be imposed on Congress?"
For some reason American MPs stay on much longer than their foreign counterparts, so yes, a term limit (say 12 years) might be in order. Far more important problems exist though: terms should be longer than 2 years so there's actually some time left to do stuff besides campaigning and districts should be abolished to prevent the rampant gerrymandering that currently exists (which is perhaps the reason so many MPs get reelected time after time after time).Nov 27 2012: Yes we should have Congressional term limis. While yes, the people have the right to vote the congress people often do not make informed decisions. America is full of people who vote based on the lies that the congress candidates tell them. This can lead to an ineffective congress. Also with the same congressmen in office we would never have new legislature.Nov 27 2012: Term limits should be imposed because it may decrease the chance of corporate interests effecting politics. For example, companies that continually donate to a representative's re-election fund, that representative will obviously favor the company on Capitol Hill when it comes time to vote.

There's nothing like gameday at Kyle Field! Currently the biggest stadium in Texas, Aggies Football has been played at Kyle since 1927, and after several expansions, now holds a capacity of 82,600 fans at every home game. One of the most intimidating stadiums in America, the Aggies' home record is spectacular, a testament to the help of the famous "12th Man" that the rabid fans in College Station become.
This incredible panoramic poster features a glorious game day on the campus of A&M. Like all prints in photographer Rob Arra's Everlasting Images series, every detail of the scene is in perfect focus, and as you pan across the image you feel like you are actually there. From a unique end-zone view, you can see it all: The massive Bernard C. Richardson Zone of seating beyond the far goalposts; the various Championship markings along the facades of the west grandstand; the famous "Welcome to Aggieland" and "Home of the 12th Man" signs on the eastern facades; the masses of students, alumni, and fans hanging on every play; the marching band, yell leaders, and sideline entourages; and, of course, the action on the field, as the visiting side lines up for a third quarter field goal attempt. If you've been to Kyle Field for a game, or if you're just an armchair fan, you'll love this piece - just looking at it makes you feel like you're there on gameday, cheering on the Aggies at the top of your lungs. Worthy of a nice frame and a central location on your sports wall-of-fame!

Recipe by Charlotte Pierce
"This is extremely easy and the crust doesn't get all soggy the second day. Fat-free ingredients work well. Garnish each slice with a dollop of whipped topping if you like."
Hmm. None of these ingredients are on sale today.

1 (10 inch)
pie crust, baked and cooled
1 tablespoon
grated lime zest
1 cup
fresh lime juice
1 (14 ounce) can
sweetened condensed milk
1 (3.5 ounce) package
instant vanilla pudding mix
1 (8 ounce) container
frozen whipped topping, thawed
This recipe was wonderful with a slight modification. Instead of using a tub of cool whip I mixed my own cream and didn't add any sugar to sweeten it. It cut down on the sweetness of the pie (and the recongnizable sweetened condensed milk flavor) and enhanced the tartness. This will now be the only recipe I use to make this pie.
The lime flavor in this pie is great but I could taste the sweetened condensed milk which I do not like - This recipe was just OK

my mom and i LOVE key lime pie and this was incredible! we also watch what we eat very carefully, so i used fat free sweetened condensed milk, fat free whipped topping, sugar free pudding, and a reduced fat crust...no one could tell it was low fat at all! they were amazed when i told them. i added 1 drop of green food coloring to give it the light green color. the presentation was lovely and this great pie was a real hit!
Love, love, love this recipe!! It was so easy, yet tasted like I slaved over it! I used the bottled Key Lime juice instead of regular lime and my sister and I (who are both avid Key Lime pie fans) thought the tartness was perfect, but my husband thought it a little too tart and added whipped cream to the top of his to cut the tartness. We all agreed the only way to improve this would be to melt white chocolate and pour a thin layer over the crust before adding the filling. I also used the graham cracker crust. I will be making this frequently this summer!
My family loved this! Some reviewers said only 3/4cup lime juice would be better so I started with that, tasted it, and decided to add more, so it was probably just under 1 cup. I also used real whipped cream (had some leftover), and a store-bought graham cracker crust. It was delicious, creamy, a pretty color, and not too sweet or too tart. There was enough filling leftover to make a little parfait. Mine was a bit gooey, I found it's better frozen and served straight out of the freezer.
So easy and Delicious. I used lemon pudding rather than vanilla pudding. I used 3 regular limes(not key limes) and 1 lemon. And used half the amount of cool whip called for. I kept everything else the same. The result was a thick and lite Lime Pie. I made it for dessert and my family of 4 adults ate the whole thing that night. HIGHLY RECOMENDED!!!!
I was very impressed with this "no bake" pie recipe! Super easy, my 11 year old basically made it. We used a store bought nilla wafer crust and it turned out fine. The only advice I would give is to make it a day in advance, it tasted better and was *thicker* the next day. Thanks for posting this! We will make it again and again,
Delicious! This is one of the best Key Lime Pies I've tasted. I used a graham cracker crust and only 3/4 cup of lime juice (I think it would have been a bit too tart with any more). Thanks so much for a great recipe!

Clean Shwer Fresh is unique, very clean yet light and feminine. It is a flower base, very faint and white floral..add the citrus and sheer woods with a touch of pure white musk..its a really good one..a tiny bit sweet, but not that Sugary food sweet. Best way to describe it is like ur Hair smells after freshly washed and conditioned..a clean hair smell. u don't need much as its an eau de parfum, not a cologne. This is the big sister to Philossophys Pure Grace, which is a little sharper and greener. Its a keeper.

Have been looking for a just showered fresh scent for a long time. I like to wear a scent not a scent to wear me. I love this scent so clean and light, just enough to draw a possitive attention. Perfect to wear anytime.

Very nice, subtle scent. Feminine, but not overly flowery. Crisp, clean just showered scent. Nice for any occasion.
Written by Scarence on September 16, 2009Read Review details ►
Clean Shower Fresh is supposed to imitate a freshly-showered smell. It is sharp at first, but dries down to a barely noticable scent. Not as nice as Clean Original or Clean Ultimate. Will not purchase again.

Promega HisLink™ Protein Purification Systems (Cat.# V8821, V3680 and V3681) provide a reliable and easy method for the purification of polyhistidine and HQ-tagged proteins directly from a crude lysate in either a manual or an automated format. Depending on the system used it is possible to purify tagged proteins using large-scale or high-throughput methods. Matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization-time of flight (MALDI-TOF) mass spectrometry is a valuable tool for analyzing purified proteins. However, purified polyhistidine-tagged protein samples often contain materials that are not compatible for analysis with MALDI-TOF mass spectrometry. Previously we have described a method of eluting polyhistidine-tagged proteins using the MagneHis™ Protein Purification System (Cat.# V8550) for analysis using mass spectrometry. In this article, we show that the polyhistidine-tagged proteins can be eluted from HisLink™ Protein Purification Resin using 40% ethanol or 0.1% trifluoroacetic acid (TFA) in 50% acetonitrile. These samples can be directly analyzed by MALDI-TOF mass spectrometry and produce extremely clean data. The elution conditions reported in this article can be used for the high-throughput MALDI-TOF MS analysis of polyhistidine-tagged proteins.
Laurie Engel, Becky Godat, Rod Flemming and Tonny Johnson
Matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization-time of flight (MALDI-TOF) and other alternative methods of mass spectrometry (MS) analysis have become essential methods of protein analysis(1)
. Using MS methods researchers identify proteins, peptides(3)
, post-translational modifications(5)
, protein profiles, protein:protein interactions, protein:small molecule interactions(8)
and study protein structure and function(10)
. Polyhistidine-tagged protein purification systems provide large amounts of a protein or small amounts of multiple proteins for study. However, the elution buffers used in these systems contain salts (e.g., imidazole) that cannot be used in mass spectrometry analysis. To be compatible with MALDI–TOF MS analysis, eluted samples need to undergo tedious dialysis methods or size exclusion separation techniques to remove salts. Previously we have described a method of eluting polyhistidine-tagged proteins using the MagneHis™ Protein Purification System (Cat.# V8550) for analysis using mass spectrometry(11)
. In this article, we describe a method for the elution of a polyhistidine-tagged protein from HisLink™ Protein Purification Resin using 40% ethanol or 0.1% TFA in 50% acetonitrile. These elution conditions allow direct MS analysis and provide clean mass spectrometry data necessary for high-throughput analysis using MALDI-TOF MS.
Polyhistidine-tagged calmodulin was purified from E. coli strain BL-21 (DE3) using HisLink™ Resin as described in the HisLink™ 96 Protein Purification System Technical Bulletin (#TB342). Wash and elution conditions were optimized to decrease substances that interfere with mass spectrometry analysis. The resin/protein complex was first washed twice with 500µl of 100mM HEPES (pH 7.5) plus 0.5M NaCl to decrease nonspecific binding to the resin. The particles were then washed four times with Nuclease Free Water (Cat.# P1193) to remove the NaCl and buffer from the resin. The protein was eluted from the resin using either 0.1% TFA in 50% acetonitrile or 40% ethanol. Samples were dried using a SpeedVac® DNA 110 Concentrator and were resuspended in 200µl of Nuclease-Free Water. A portion of the rehydrated samples was removed for protein gel analysis, and the remainder was dried and sent to HT Laboratories (San Diego, CA) for MALDI-TOF MS analysis.
Gel analysis showed that the protein of interest (His-calmoulin) was eluted from the resin using the various elution conditions (Figure 1). The amounts of protein recovered using the alternative methods appear to be less than the MagneHis™ Elution Buffer (control); however, the protein amount is sufficient for MALDI-TOF MS analysis. MALDI-TOF MS data show the MagneHis™ Elution Buffer (containing imidazole) causes extensive background interference (Figure 2); however the samples eluted with 40% ethanol or 0.1% TFA in 50% acetonitrile show clean protein peaks well above background (Figures 3 and 4).
Polyhistidine-tagged proteins eluted using conventional elution buffers contain substances that interfere with mass spectrometry analysis. By modifying the wash and elution conditions necessary to purify polyhistidine-tagged proteins, analysis using mass spectrometry is achieved easily and efficiently. Results generated from the alternative elution conditions have the defined protein peaks and reduced background that are necessary qualities for successful MALDI-TOF MS protein analysis.
For each rehydrated sample, 50µl of sample was combined with 20µl SDS loading buffer. This mixture was heated at 95°C for 5 minutes. The prepared samples (20µl) were loaded and run on a 4–20% Tris-glycine gel (Invitrogen). The gel was stained in SimplyBlue™ Safe Stain (Invitrogen). Lane M, Protein marker; Lane 1, MagneHis™ Elution Buffer (0.5M imidazole); Lane 2, 40% ethanol; Lane 3, 0.1% TFA in 50% acetonitrile.
Protein eluted with 0.1% TFA in 50% acetonitrile showed decreased background interference compared to protein eluted with MagneHis™ Elution Buffer (Figure 2).

Salt and pepper, silver, pewter, charcoal. Whatever you call it, gray hair happens to all of us at some point. But why do some people go gray in their 20s, while others don't see the first sign of silver until age 50? And if you're going gray early, what should you do about it?
WebMD spoke to gray hair experts about the science behind premature graying, possible health concerns, and advice for every stage of the process.
What's 'Premature'
Hair goes gray when color-producing cells stop producing pigment, says Jeffrey Benabio, MD, a dermatologist at Kaiser Permanente in San Diego, Calif. Naturally occurring hydrogen peroxide can also build up in the hair, bleaching the color.
Typically, white people start going gray in their mid-30s, Asians in their late 30s, and African-Americans in their mid-40s. Half of all people have a significant amount of gray hair by the time they turn 50.
A white person is considered to be prematurely gray if his or her hair turns gray by age 20; gray before 30 is early for African-Americans.
Medical Problem?
Contrary to popular belief, stress has not been definitively shown to cause gray hair. Scientists don't know exactly why some people go gray early, but it's largely determined by genetics.
Some autoimmune and genetic conditions are associated with premature graying, including vitiligo, Werner syndrome, and alopecia areata - which causes only the colored hairs to fall out and look like the hair turned white overnight, Benabio says.
A vitamin B-12 deficiency or problems with the pituitary or thyroid gland can cause premature graying that's reversible if the problem is corrected, Benabio says.
Some research has suggested a connection between premature graying and lower bone density later in life. However, a 2007 study of about 1,200 men and women in Rancho Bernardo, Calif., showed this not to be the case.
"Your level of bone density is all related to activity level, your weight, your height, your ethnicity. It's not really related to your hair or the things controlling the color of your hair," says researcher Deborah J. Morton, PhD, an epidemiologist at University of California, San Diego.
Hiding the Gray
There are lots of choices for concealing gray, says Ron King, owner of Ron King Salon and bô Salon in Austin, Texas and a national spokesman for L'Oréal Professionnel. They include:
1. Semi-permanent or demi-permanent color: Lasts a few weeks and is a good option for people just starting to see gray, King says.
"If you have a lot of your natural colors running through, you don't want to take that away," King says. "You can just blend it without disrupting what you already have that's already beautiful and natural."
2. Highlights: Scattered strands are lightened to blend the gray with the rest of your hair.
3. Once you have 45% to 50% gray, King suggests using permanent color. Some clients leave some gray around their face to make a statement.
4. Hair products: If you don't want to dye but still want to conceal the gray, King suggests a coloring tool such as spray-on airbrush hair makeup, which washes out with a shampoo.
Embracing the Gray
More young mothers, professionals, and even runway models are opting to "go gray," says Diana Jewell, a former marketing director at Vogue Magazine and author of the book Going Gray, Looking Great.
"The myth that gray hair makes you old is just that -- a myth. If you were young, vibrant, active, healthy pre-gray, you're still going to be that way. It's all in the attitude you bring to it," Jewell says. "If you think of it as merely another color choice, you won't be afraid of gray."
Journalist Anne Kreamer went gray at 25 and spent an estimated $65,000 on salon color treatments over the next 20 years. She chronicled her journey back to gray at age 49 in the book Going Gray: What I Learned about Beauty, Sex, Work, Motherhood, Authenticity, and Everything Else That Matters.
"If you look at an Anderson Cooper or a Steve Martin or men who have historically gone gray early, I think they look terrific and it becomes almost an iconic differentiation for them," Kreamer says. "The same is true for women, but ... we've been brainwashed into believing gray is unattractive and undesirable."
These simple tips can help you go gray with style:
1. If you've been dyeing, consider going "cold turkey" with a chic, short haircut.
2. Work with a colorist to weave in highlights and use toners to minimize the transition line between your natural hair color and your former hair dye, Kreamer says.
3. Get a modern haircut. King recommends a style with sharper edges, such as "a graduated bob of some type, some really smooth bangs, a really nice fringe."
4. Take care of your hair. Shampoos with a blue base can help prevent gray hair from developing a yellowish cast, says Jewell, who offers a list of products at goinggraylookinggreat.com. Using a conditioning mask once a month keeps hair well-moisturized.
5. Use a flat iron to make your hair look sleeker and shinier. Gray hair tends to get frizzy, and "a flat iron on your hair brings back the luster to it," King says.
6. Enjoy your life. "Beauty is not determined by the color of a woman's hair," says Cindy Joseph, a silver-haired model for Ford Models Inc. and CEO of Boom! By Cindy Joseph makeup line. "The ability to take joy in her life is what makes a woman truly beautiful."

MUSKOGEE — The Poteau Lady Pirates softball team will have to do it the hard way to make it to the Class 4A State Tournament next weekend.
The Lady Pirates blanked Sequoyah-Claremore 2-0 in the Class 4A Regional Tournament Thursday at Hilldale High School, but then lost in the winner's-bracket final 4-3 to host Hilldale.
The Lady Pirates (30-8) will play Sequoyah-Claremore at noon Friday in the loser's-bracket final, with the winner having to beat the host Lady Hornets twice in the championship round — which will begin at 2 p.m. Friday.
The Roland Lady Rangers were the first team to be eliminated from the regional, losing games to Hilldale and Sequoyah-Claremore.

The decision to cancel Luxembourg was taken in consultation with my doctor and the team. I am not happy about it but I understand that I must not rush it because the injury may well come back and make it even worst.
I know that if I am to play the rest of the indoor season fully fit, I simply have to be patient with my return to tennis. In the mean time I am continuing with my fitness program.
Thanks for all your support and hopefully see you in Filderstadt!

Indigo Roots
515 Main St.
Jasper Indiana 47546United States
(812) 634-7070
Editor's Review
A colorful shop on Jasper's historic town square has garden art, baby clothes, home accessories, upcycled goods and a resident cat who purrs while you browse.
Indigo Roots just feels like a happy place. Soothing Native American-sounding flute music plays as shoppers meander through the brightly painted rooms of home decorating trinkets, funny cow paintings, candles, wall hangings and much more. The shop, with its splashy lime-color walls and turquoise ceilings, bills itself as a "vintage, upcycled, repurposed, uncommon" place, and that description rings true. It's a great place to look for gifts or for a one-of-a-kind souvenir from your trip to southern Indiana.

The CERN/CLOUD results are surprisingly interesting…
The long-awaited first paper from the CERN/CLOUD project has just been published in Nature. The paper, by Kirkby et al, describes changes in aerosol nucleation as a function of increasing sulphates, ammonia and ionisation in the CERN-based 'CLOUD' chamber. Perhaps surprisingly, the key innovation in this experimental set up is not the presence of the controllable ionisation source (from the Proton Synchrotron accelerator), but rather the state-of-the-art instrumentation of the chamber that has allowed them to see in unprecedented detail what is going on in the aerosol nucleation process (this is according to a couple of aerosol people I've spoken about this with).
This paper is actually remarkably free of the over-the-top spin that has accompanied previous papers, and that bodes very well for making actual scientific progress on this topic.
The paper first confirms some results that are well known: aerosol nucleation increases enormously when you add H2SO4 into the air (the biggest contributor to human aerosol impacts via the oxidation of our emissions of SO2), it increases further when you add ammonia (NH3), and it increases even more when you increase ionisation levels from neutral, to ambient ground levels, and to upper atmospheric levels (as long as you are below what is called the 'ion-pair' limit). However, the most intriguing result is that despite going to a lot of trouble to make sure the chamber was ultra-free of contaminants, the researchers found that within most of the aerosols that formed, there were traces of organic nitrogen compounds that must have been present in almost undetectably low concentrations. The other intriguing finding is that aerosol nucleation rates in the chamber don't match (by a an order of magnitude or more) actual formation rates seen in real world near-surface atmospheric layers at realistic temperatures (only in unrealistically cold conditions do rates come close). The authors speculate (quite convincingly) that this is precisely because they didn't have enough volatile organic compounds (which are ubiquitous in the real world) to help get the nucleation started. This result will surely inspire some of their next experiments. All-in-all this is a treasure trove of results (and potential future results) for people tasked with trying to model or understand aerosol processes in the atmosphere.
Figure 1: Annotated version of fig 5 in Kirkby et al. Small dots are in situ observations, lines are other lab data. Colours for the CLOUD results are coded with respect to temperature. Going from open to filled symbols denote increasing NH3. All results are for ambient CR ionisation (changes in CR only make a difference below the ion-pair limit).

text: I agree with most of what you posted. I beleive Ireland is on an upswing and is improving. We have had many worse GM's through here up to Ireland tenure and many worse coaches since Shula when he was run out of Miami by some of the fans and media back then just like we are seeing with Ireland now. We also live in a generattion of instant gratification with little long term vision which also contributes to this fan and media outrage. My opinion does not mean I am against upgrading any position including the GM. I would like to add when they invented free agency years ago it took away from some of the real development of players and coaching aspects. Too bad IMO it was fun seeing the fringe players develop like Jim Jensen into stars for your home team.

The ice man cometh - ice cores reveal past climates

Ice work if you can get it
Recovering a 1.4 million year old ice core will be a huge challenge, so once again it's being approached via an international team known as IPICS. Crucial to the project's success will be selecting the right place to drill. But older won't necessarily mean deeper. According to Mulvaney: "It's not just a case of drilling deeper, because an ice sheet is at its coldest at the surface and its warmest at the bed. The ice sits on the Earth's mantle like a blanket, and the thicker the blanket, the harder it is for the heat to escape. If the ice sheet is too thick, the oldest ice at the bottom of the core will have melted."
"Deciding where to drill depends on the question you want to answer, but generally, ice core scientists tend to choose somewhere that's a dome, where the bottom of the ice sheet is relatively flat and where there is little ice flow, because as you drill deeper, you don't want to be drilling into ice that has flowed from somewhere else. We need to find somewhere where the ice isn't much thicker than at Dome C, but where it's colder at the surface. That will mean that it's also colder at the base, so the oldest ice will have stayed frozen. We also want a place with a low accumulation rate so that the ice ages faster as you get deeper," Mulvaney explains.
Given these criteria, the best bet in the hunt for a 1.4 million year ice core looks like Dome A, more than 4,000 metres above sea level and over 1,000 kilometres from the nearest research station. Before drilling begins, aircraft will survey the area to discover the shape of the bed and how much ice lies above it, and select the best possible site.
Even then, drilling will be tough. "The challenge of working at Dome A will be the high altitude - it's at more than 4,000 metres and because the Earth's atmosphere is thinner in the polar regions, that's like working at between 5,000 and 6,000 metres above sea level. Even working at Dome C - which is at 3,300 metres - had me gasping until I acclimatised," says Mulvaney.
As well as their huge scientific potential, ice cores play an important role in communicating the science of climate change. Few weeks go by when Mulvaney does not have visitors - including students, teachers, politicians and business leaders - to show around BAS's cold room and explain how a simple piece of ice can tell us so much: "What really amazes them is seeing the little tiny bubbles and knowing that in these is the actual atmosphere that was floating around in the past. They are surprised that I can hand them a piece of ice that's remained frozen for tens of thousands of years, and which is melting away as we speak."

The gym needs to be replaced and the school district has the plans in hand to demolish the old gym and replace it with a much more modern facility to better suit the needs of present-day students, coaches and athletes. The old gym is coming down within the near future.
On Thursday evening, Jan. 10, the girls and boys basketball teams honored the old gym by playing one last game in the edifice. All of the former coaches that graced the hardwood floors over the years were invited to attend. The teams also celebrated Parents Night, packing the three rows of bench seats that closely surround the floor.
The gym played host to Pawnee High School games through 1985 when the high school shut down and the district then finished at the eighth-grade level. The Indians were district champs in basketball several times over the years and went even deeper into the playoffs at times. The Pettus Eagles were the big rival, and the gym was always filled to the rafters for the local rivalry.
The old gym even hosted the famous traveling troop of hoopsters, the Harlem Globetrotters in 1979.
"It was a state of the art gym back in 1948," said former coach Roger Overby.
The gym reminds a visitor of a design used extensively by the military during and after World War II. It was and still is, at least for a few more days, in the style of a quonset hut, common and well known as the rounded ceiling of the barracks on almost every military base during those times.
The basketball court is within inches of the bleachers and fans can almost reach out and touch a player on the court. The lights have been in long need of repair, but the district decided to forego the expense and scheduled all of this year's games as road contests, except the one last night to honor the old gym, its coaches and the thousands of memories of those who have passed through the gym.
Former coaches in attendance on Thursday evening were honored at ceremonies between the two basketball games that pitted the Redwings and Indians against the visiting Nordheim Pirates. The coaches included Coach Moff (1954-55), Roger Overby (1960-65), Lacy Pogue (1966-68), Dorothy Pogue (1959-61), Genaro Gonzales (1972-81), Bobby De Leon (1975-2006), Mary De Leon (1973-79) and Belinda Belyeu (1981-2000). They were announced and joined by present coaches Abby Brown and Bobby Del Bosque at center court as the crowd in attendance acknowledged their contributions to the Pawnee ISD athletic department and to their children.
The Redwings lost a closely contested decision to the young Lady Pirates, 21-18, but hustled and played hard throughout. The Indians, however, sent the old gym off in style with a resounding 41-13 victory that capped off the building's 64-year service in Pawnee.

3 (14.5 ounce) cans
whole green beans, drained
1 pound
bacon, cut in half
1/2 cup
butter, melted
1 cup
brown sugar
1 teaspoon
garlic salt
When cooking for a party, time is always of the essence! So I turned this into a two-step process and it came out EXCELLENT, earning rave reviews from my guests! Not only was the taste great, but the presentation (the bundles) was impressive too, making me really look like a gourmet cook to my guests! The night before the party,I used fresh green beans and blanched them, then I lightly fried the bacon before wrapping the bundles, covered the baking dish with foil and put it in the refrigerator. The next day I made the sauce, poured it over the bundles sprinkled with garlic powder (instead of garlic salt), covered the dish with foil, then put it in the oven at 350 degrees for 1/2 hour. Turned the oven off, let it sit. Then right before serving time, turned the oven back on, removed the foil covering and cooked until heated through (about 10-15 minutes).
I made this dish because my older daughter thought it looked interesting. Both my girls thought this recipe was acceptable but said the sweetness was overpowering. My husband and I didn't care for it at all.

Yum these are my favorite. This is just like my recipe, glad I found yours before I posted mine. I used this as one of the appetizers I served at my wedding. Everyone loves these!! They look fancy like something you would see in a restraunt. Sometimes instead of wrapping them in bundles I will put 5 cans of cut green beans into a glass baking dish, sprinkle with garlic salt, cut bacon into peices and place on top of the green beans covering all,then sprinkle brown sugar over the top and pour one stick of melted butter over the brown sugar and bake at 350 for 1 hour or until bacon is crisp. I do this when I am serving a large group and it's better for those who want the bacon more crisp.
Wonderful recipe - The only change I made to this is that I used fresh green beans that I had steamed. The bundles are very yummy and make a wonderful presentation as well! Everyone raved about these at my Thanksgiving Dinner this year! This is a keeper!
You can also do most of the prep work in advanced for a big meal such as Thanksgiving I discovered. For this recipe I steamed my green beans in advanced then wrapped them in bacon and placed on a cookie sheet that was lined with wax paper and froze the bundles. Once frozen I took the bundles off and placed them in zip bags (only to free up space in my freezer and get rid of the cookie sheet). Then on Thanksgiving Day I pulled the bundles out and let them thaw on the baking pan I was planning to cook them on and continued with the recipe by adding the sweet sauce on top before baking. I was thrilled they turned out so well - and I didn't have to rush and make them at the last minute either!
Like other users I used fresh green beans. I also prepared a day ahead of time so life was easier the day of the dinner party. I boiled fresh green beans for 5 minutes and fried the bacon 4 minutes. After assembling the bundles I covered the casserole dish and placed in the fridge. When it was time I covered them with the brown sugar mixture and baked them for 30 minutes covered and then another 15 minutes uncovered to crisp the bacon. Turned out great!
The BEST green beans I every had!! I did not make in bundles, I just mixed the green beans and bacon together
and poured the butter and brown sugar mixture over it. It was made for a party and was a big hit!!!!!
I've been making this recipe for years now. It was one I got at a pot luck. My recipe differs a little and you might prefer it. I only use 3/4 of a cup of brown sugar (and I don't pack it very firmly), I use 1 tsp garlic powder, 1/2 tsp black pepper, and 1-1 1/2 tsp worcestershire sauce. I cover the whole thing and bake at 350* for 20 minutes, then take the foil off and bake for another 15 minutes. No broiling necessary that way. I give this recipe 5 stars because it is VERY good...but...it is NOT to be confused with a green bean side dish. Meaning you can only eat 3-4 of them...and they really are best in a pot luck setting, that way everyone gets 2-3 and it leaves you wanting more. If you were to eat it as your 'vegetable' for a meal then yes, I can understand the concern over the nutritional info.
Loved this recipe. I used fresh green beans, blanched them the day before, par cooked the back, rolled the beans in the bacon, made the sauce poured it over and covered overnight. The day of the dinner I cooked as directed. Made for a dinner for 10 and everybody loved them. They looked great and better still, they tasted great.

Neurodermatitis starts with a patch of itchy skin, but scratching it makes the area even itchier. Eventually you may scratch simply out of habit. This cycle of chronic itching and scratching can cause the affected skin to become thick and leathery.
Neurodermatitis — also known as lichen simplex chronicus — isn't serious, but breaking the itch-scratch cycle is challenging.
Successful treatment of neurodermatitis depends on identifying and eliminating factors that may be aggravating the problem. Over-the-counter and prescription creams can help ease neurodermatitis symptoms.

Comments On Mar 24, 2015:I was deciding on whether or not to use ATF or this. I have used other brands for years and decided to give this a shot as I heard nothing but good things about it.
Holds up good, I like to change my fluid every 8-10 hours of riding. If I make a trip to the desert for a weekend I always change it. I am pretty hard on my bikes, clutchless downshifts and upshifts. Slip the clutch, pop the clutch and use the clutch a lot to keep it in the powerband (2-stroke). Whenever I remove the old fluid it looks like when it went in the bike out of the bottle! It is the same red color, not grey, not black like other brands I have used. I like to stick with a formulated fluid with additives. This is doing the job well so far and is not too pricey.

A three-judge panel ruled Friday that a Virginia man who shot a gun at a gas station in Germantown during a 2011 fight must complete his sentence in prison.
Dmytro Solomatin of Reston had spent a year and a half in home confinement for the charge of first-degree assault, until his sentence — five years in prison — could be reviewed by a panel.
It was up to the three judge panel to hear Solomatin's appeal of his sentence, a mandatory minimum five-year sentence for a felony handgun charge.
On Friday, that panel — composed of Montgomery County Circuit Court Judges John W. Debelius III, Sharon V. Burrell, and Michael Mason — ruled that the sentence was appropriate and that Solomatin report to custody immediately.
On Aug. 6, 2011, Solomatin and Michael Rickley of Germantown got into a fight over an open gas pump. After being punched in the nose, injuring his hand, and hitting his head on the pavement, Solomatin — who legally owned a gun in Virginia — got his handgun from his car and shot out the victim's car tire, according to testimony at the trial.
Rickley's then-fiancée was in his car during the incident.
Solomatin was convicted of first-degree assault, the use of a handgun in a felony crime of violence and illegal possession of a handgun after a three-day trial last year, but was acquitted of attempted second-degree murder.
About a dozen of Solomatin's family members, including his wife and stepfather, attended Friday's hearing. Solomatin told the three-judge panel, "I have done everything I can to show the court I can play by the rules."
"I'm not a criminal," he said.
Scott Rolle, Solomatin's lawyer, called his client a "gentle soul," who has never had a criminal record. In appealing for a reduced sentence, Rolle told the judges that Solomatin had done everything he could to show the judges he is not a danger to society, including taking responsibility for his actions, cooperating with police, seeking counseling, doing volunteer work and supporting his wife and infant daughter at his job.
"He is the last person you would expect to find here today," Rolle told the three-judge panel, led by Judge John W. Debelius III. Making Solomatin go to prison for the remainder of the sentence would be "cruel, unusual, and frankly, at this point, vindictive," Rolle said.
Montgomery County Assistant State's Attorney Eric Nee told the panel that "the state feels [Solomatin] has not shown remorse" for his crime.
Montgomery County Police Officers still had not located the handgun he used in the altercation, Nee said.
Debelius called Solomatin's use of a firearm "grossly innappropriate."
Although Solomatin had attempted to redeem himself, Debelius said, the initial sentence of five years was appropriate, ordering him into custody immediately.
"As a victim of gun violence, I'm happy the three-judge panel upheld the sentence," Rickley said, in an interview, adding, "I never pursued him. I was always on defense."
"The ruling from the three-judge panel in the matter involving Mr. Solomatin was appropriate," Ramon Korionoff, a spokesman for the Montgomery County State's Attorney's Office, said. "Arguing over a gas pump and shooting at someone for it is not the way we resolve conflicts in a civil society. Making sure the defendant has time to think about the consequences of his actions will hopefully deter others from resorting to extreme measures to solve their perceived problems."

East Tennessee State Soccer Falls to Charleston
Sunday, September 23, 2001Johnson City, Tenn.-- The East Tennessee State women's soccer team (1-4-1, 0-2 SoCon) was defeated by the College of Charleston Cougars (1-3-1, 1-1 SoCon) 5-0 at the Liberty Bell Soccer Complex. The Cougars dominated the game from the start. Most of the first half was played on the Bucs' side of the field. Charleston's first goal came 22 minutes into the game when Jenn Grillo connected with a penalty kick to put them up 0-1. The Bucs would keep Charleston from scoring for rest of the first half. Just three minutes into the second half, Charleston's Lindsay Dorio hit a header from Marcy Crenshaw. Dorio would score again at the 53 minute mark with an assist from Becca Eddy to make the score 0-3. Then Eddy would score twice herself and both times with the assist from Tessa Morrell.
