This product is a great color. It really does get your skin even in tone. It blended so well with my pale skin! I did feel much more oily once I started using it. After a few hours, my face became a little shiny and it appeared to need a re-apply much more quickly than some other powders. It stayed well under my eyes, but on the rest of my face, it seems to disappear easily. I'm almost done with the powder (purchased in August, it's now November), so I will buy a different brand this time.

While I really like the You're Bluffing concealer stick for covering up redness, I am not impressed with Get Even. #1 looked way too light for my skin, so I tried #2, but it's too orangey. And the coverage is too heavy and unnatural. Personally I would recommend Bobbi Brown's powders over any of the Get Even powders. And by the way, not everyone has a BeneFit counter in their area, so some people do have to order items without trying them first.

The powder does what it's supposed to do. I'm not too certain about the color yet, I havn't tried it in all lights. The included applicator stinks! Use a brush or different puff.....
I've decided I hate the color range, they could be much better. I prefer Lancome photogenic.

I LOVE this powder! I have tried so many and this one is the best I've found so far. I am very pale with combo skin prone to hormonal breakouts. I use the lightest of the 3 shades and it does an excellent job of evening out the ruddiness. Applying too much does look a little obvious as this has great coverage, great oil control and not alot of powder is needed.
I use this over foundation and sometimes just over concealer. The sponge applicator included is not the greatest (I use a brush) but the compact itself is nice and strong. This is the most I have ever spent on a powder and it's worth every cent!

This powder is awesome for blotting my face in the summer when it gets oily. It's not chalky and you don't look fake. There's only three shades to choose from but it's more versatile than you think. They blend in with almost any skin color as long as you choose the right shade. The powders are lighter than than it seems in the package so i'd choose one shade darker. I'm asian with a dark tan so i found medium on the lighter side. But still, no one could tell i was wearing powder even with the medium shade on. One complaint to the people at Benefit though: The sponge applicator included in the compact SUCKS!

My new absolute favorite powder! I actually don't think I've ever had a favorite powder but this is WONDERFUL. I'm using the 02 shade and it really does even out all my redness and even covers up the pimples I get every now and then during that wonderful time of the month. I've honestly never found a powder that I was confident enough with to not wear a foundation underneath, but with this I can do that and feel like it's enough coverage. This is one of my new favorite products in general and I will definately continue to buy it.

Holy Oily Grail! haha.. I totally have the oiliest skin in the land, George Bush would probably buy my skin because it produces so much friggin oil. Texas tea.. on me! Anyway, this powder saved my face. No joke. I am on Retin-A right now, my skin is going nuts, this is the only powder I use and probably the only one I will ever use. I am very fair, so I use shade #1, most people are #2. I use velvet sponges from the drug store as my replacement pads and I stop all the oil in it's tracks. I don't need to use that much since it seems to control pretty good. Yay.. I am so happy. I have acne prone skin and in the two years I've been using this powder, I've never had a problem with it.. I've only had problems with the stupid moisturizers and liquid foundations I've purchased in the past from other skincare lines.. ugh.

This product is a great powder if you want coverage and a long lasting matte appearance, BUT, it is very heavy feeling and enhances pore size because it has no light diffusing properties at all. Use with a brush or you'll look like a paper sack.

I stopped using liquid foundations as they usually "slide" off my oily face by midday. I'm now using Get Even for a flawless look that covers almost all imperfections. And it doesn't slide off the face. Don't be put off by the three colour choices - it's like they meld to your skin colour. I'm pretty fair and I use #2. The packaging does seem a bit cheap - don't even bother using the puff that it comes with - it fell apart within a couple of uses.

HOly cats! what a powder! This stuff comes in 3 shades. I am NC 20-25ish and I ended up going with shade 2. The lightest one looked like chalk to me. Anyway, I use this with a brush and it really covers imperfections, blots oil, and evens skin tone while not looking all made up. This is a heavy covering powder so I would think using a sponge would be too much...you still get full coverage with a brush! Dont let the colors throw you though b/c this is a correcting powder so it's not supposed to "match" your skin. I probably should have gotten shade 1 but since summer is coming the shade 2 will work better! Gave up my old EI powder and that says a lot!

1 Introduction
[2] Sea ice is the dominant factor controlling the physical and chemical environment of the Eastern Bering Sea [Stabeno et al., 2010]. Each year, sea ice advances ~900 km across the Bering Sea's eastern continental shelf, driven southward by prevailing winds from latent heat polynyas that form in the lees of islands and coasts [Niebauer et al., 1999]. Sea ice melts at the southern edge of the pack, cooling the water column and facilitating further ice advance [Pease, 1980]. At its peak in March–April, sea ice covers an average of >500,000 km2 of the Bering Sea [Brown et al., 2011], mainly limited to the shallow continental shelf regions, before retreating completely each summer. Large interannual variability in sea ice extent, as much as 40% around the mean, is superimposed on this regular annual cycle [Niebauer and Day, 1989]. This variability is largely in response to atmospheric circulation, which is in turn a function of the position and intensity of the Aleutian Low pressure system [Niebauer et al., 1999; Stabeno et al., 2001]. The year-to-year extent and duration of sea ice influence water column temperature, salt balance, stratification, and light and nutrient availability across the entire Eastern Bering Sea shelf.
[3] Given its overwhelming importance to the Eastern Bering Sea physical environment, sea ice also dominates patterns of primary production. For example, brine rejection during sea ice formation drives winter convection over the northern shelf [Stabeno et al., 2010], replenishing surface nutrients and setting the stage for an intense spring phytoplankton bloom. Enhanced light levels from meltwater stratification stimulate the bloom, which tends to follow the retreating ice edge northward across the Bering Sea shelf, beginning in April and lasting until surface nitrate is depleted [Niebauer et al., 1990]. Post-bloom production is also dependent on sea ice, which largely determines water column stratification throughout the year and hence, the wind-driven injection of nitrate into surface waters [Sambrotto et al., 1986; Stabeno et al., 2010]. Over half of the Bering Sea's annual net primary production (NPP) falls within a brief 3 month pulse from May to July, a pronounced seasonal cycle that is mediated by sea ice [Brown et al., 2011].
[4] Sea ice is thought to be especially influential to the dynamics of the spring phytoplankton bloom. For example, the Oscillating Control Hypothesis (OCH) [Hunt et al., 2002, 2011] postulates that in warm years when sea ice retreats early (before mid-March), there is insufficient light to support net production until May or June, after winter storms have ceased and thermal stratification has developed; hence, phytoplankton bloom relatively late in warm (3–5 °C) ambient waters. In contrast, in cold years when sea ice retreats late (April or May), meltwater rapidly stabilizes the water column and phytoplankton bloom relatively early in cold (<0 °C) waters at the ice edge [Alexander and Niebauer, 1981]. In this way, sea ice is thought to control both the timing and temperature of the spring phytoplankton bloom.
[5] Bloom timing and temperature are both thought to be critically important to zooplankton grazers, which may have cascading impacts on top predators. For instance, the copepod Calanus marshallae may depend upon early, cold phytoplankton blooms, both to avoid exhausting their overwintering lipid reserves [Coyle et al., 2011] and for the successful recruitment of copepodites in spring [Baier and Napp, 2003]. The success of this and other large, lipid-rich crustacean zooplankton may be critical to the recruitment of the economically important gadid walleye pollock (Theragra chalcogramma) [Hunt et al., 2011; Coyle et al., 2011]. Furthermore, ocean temperature during the spring bloom is thought to influence the proportion of organic matter accruing in the pelagic environment versus sinking to the benthos [Mueter et al., 2006; Hunt et al., 2011]. Thus, the OCH predicts that by altering bloom timing and temperature, changes in sea ice may profoundly alter food web structure in the eastern Bering Sea. However, Hunt et al. [2002, 2011] developed this hypothesis using data from a single mooring site, so the spatial applicability of these relationships is unclear. Moreover, relationships between sea ice retreat, bloom timing, and bloom temperature have not been quantitatively established; hence, the impact of sea ice on spring bloom dynamics in the eastern Bering Sea awaits a rigorous test.
[6] Sea ice has also been implicated in altering annual primary production in the eastern Bering Sea. For instance, it has recently been suggested that intense summer stratification during warm, low-ice years can reduce post-bloom primary production, creating unfavorable conditions for large zooplankton and weakening pollock recruitment [Coyle et al., 2008]. Conversely, Brown et al. [2011] showed that warm years of diminished sea ice actually had higher average chlorophyll concentrations and were more productive overall, although the causes of this enhanced productivity were unclear. Thus, although it has been suggested that sea ice can modify the timing, temperature, magnitude, and ultimate fate of primary production in the Eastern Bering Sea (with implications for upper-trophic level predators), the mechanisms behind these modifications and their ecosystem impacts remain uncertain.
[7] Here we use the wide spatial and temporal scope of satellite-derived data to examine the impact of sea ice on Bering Sea phytoplankton during spring and summer. We focus on the timing of sea ice retreat, because this metric encapsulates both the southward extent and the persistence of the ice pack, and because it is thought to have crucial ecosystem consequences [Hunt et al., 2002, 2011]. We construct the first long-term records of the timing of sea ice retreat to assess secular and decadal-scale ecosystem changes. We then analyze time series of sea ice cover, sea surface temperature (SST), and surface chlorophyll a (Chl a) concentrations, together with NCEP/NCAR (National Centers for Environmental Prediction/National Center for Atmospheric Research) reanalysis and biophysical mooring data, to explore patterns of spring bloom development in the Bering Sea during years of either early or late sea ice retreat. Finally, we assess summertime NPP in relation to water column stratification during years with contrasting sea ice conditions. We discuss the implications of our results for several current hypotheses of Bering Sea ecosystem change, which were generally developed without the benefit of long-term, broad-scale time series of sea ice and primary production.

Alex Jakubiak signed on Wednesday Picture: Damian Halliwell
David Pritchard, Chief Sports Reporter covering Oxford United. Follow us on twitter: @oxfordmailoufc. Call me on 01865 425458 / / U's News
MICHAEL Appleton believes Oxford United's victory over Bristol City this week will help him sell the club to transfer targets this month.
The U's brought in Alex Jakubiak on loan this week, but are still hopeful of boosting their forward options before the window closes on September 1.
Appleton has a shortlist, but is aware he is in competition with higher ranked clubs to sign the players.
In the context, the Capital One Cup win over Sky Bet League One opposition will make United a more attractive option.
The head coach said: "It probably does, the types of results and performances from Tuesday night will certainly help us to recruit players.
"We're being very patient, but I genuinely believe it's not about getting bodies in, it's getting the right ones.
"There are two or three there that are real interests of ours, but obviously they will have League One clubs who are also interested.
"We have to try and convince them that Oxford United is a better opportunity regarding being in a lower division."
The reward for the win at Ashton Gate is a second round tie away to West Bromwich Albion later this month.
While prizemoney in the competition is minimal at this stage, United's split of the gate at the Hawthorns will be a useful bonus, which could be invested in the squad.
Appleton said: "You never know, I will be speaking to Mark (Ashton, chief executive) and the chairman to see if it does.
"It would be nice to think we can make a few quid out of it and if we can use some of that to help the recruitment side of things that will also be good."

President Barack Obama calls for research on media in gun violence
Associated Press
NEW YORK — Hollywood and the video game industry received scant attention Wednesday when President Barack Obama unveiled sweeping proposals for curbing gun violence in the wake of the Newtown, Conn., school shooting.
The White House pressed most forcefully for a reluctant Congress to pass universal background checks and bans on military-style assault weapons and high-capacity ammunition magazines like the ones used in the Newtown, Conn., school shooting.
No connection was suggested between bloody entertainment fictions and real-life violence. Instead, the White House is calling on research on the effect of media and video games on gun violence.
Among the 23 executive measures signed Wednesday by Obama is a directive to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and scientific agencies to conduct research into the causes and prevention of gun violence. The order specifically cited "investigating the relationship between video games, media images and violence."
The measure meant that media would not be exempt from conversations about violence, but it also suggested the White House would not make Hollywood, television networks and video game makers a central part of the discussion. It's a relative footnote in the White House's broad, multi-point plan, and Obama did not mention violence in media in his remarks Wednesday.
The White House plan did mention media, but suggested that any effort would be related to ratings systems or technology: "The entertainment and video game industries have a responsibility to give parents tools and choices about the movies and programs their children watch and the games their children play."
The administration is calling on Congress to provide $10 million for the research.
The CDC has been barred by Congress to use funds to "advocate or promote gun control," but the White House order claims that "research on gun violence is not advocacy" and that providing information to Americans on the issue is "critical public health research."
Since 26 were killed by a gunman at Sandy Hook Elementary in December, some have called for changes in the entertainment industry, which regularly churns out first-person shooter video games, grisly primetime dramas and casually violent blockbusters.
Hollywood, in turn, has suggested willingness for self-reflection. Motion Picture Association of America chairman and CEO Christopher Dodd — a former longtime U.S. senator from Connecticut — earlier said the MPAA stands "ready to be part of the national conversation."
After the Newtown massacre, Wayne Pierre, vice-president of the National Rifle Association, attacked the entertainment industry, calling it "a callous, corrupt and corrupting shadow industry that sells and sows violence against its own people." He cited a number of video games and films, most of them many years old, like the movies "American Psycho" and "Natural Born Killers," and the video games "Mortal Kombat" and "Grand Theft Auto."
President Obama's adviser, David Axelrod, had tweeted that he's in favor of gun control, "but shouldn't we also question marketing murder as a game?"
Others have countered that the same video games and movies are played and watched around the world, but that the tragedies of gun violence are for other reasons endemic to the U.S.
Several R-rated films released after Newton have been swept into the debate. Arnold Schwarzenegger, the former California governor and action film star, recently told USA Today in discussing his new shoot-em-up film "The Last Stand": "It's entertainment. People know the difference."
Quentin Tarantino, whose new film "Django Unchained" is a cartoonish, bloody spaghetti western set in the slavery-era South, has often grown testy when questioned about movie violence and real-life violence. Speaking to NPR, Tarantino said it was disrespectful to the memory of the victims to talk about movies: "I don't think one has to do with the other."
In 2011, the Supreme Court rejected a California law banning the sale of violent video games to children. The decision claimed that video games, like other media, are protected by the First Amendment. In dissent, Justice Stephen G. Breyer claimed previous studies showed the link between violence and video games, concluding "the video games in question are particularly likely to harm children."
Justice Antonin Scalia wrote that the government can't regulate depictions of violence, which he said were age-old, anyway: "Grimm's Fairy Tales, for example, are grim indeed."

'Teen girls often struggle with stubbornness, insecurity, anxiety, stress, irritability, and envy—which can be crippling at this critical stage in their lives when they're forming their adult identities. Through the lens of culturally relevant television reality shows and magazine-type self-quizzes, this 10-week small group study will guide teen girls through an upbeat curriculum to transform their lives from head to soul. By exploring eight Christ-like character qualities, the study helps girls put discipleship into practice with a weekly 'Makeover Challenge,' and then wraps it all up with a 'Big Reveal' party. The participant's guide contains ten complete lessons, including discussion questions, self-assessments, Bible study guide, group exercises, and daily journaling pages. The leader's guide includes guidelines for facilitating a group, the complete text of the participant's guide, helpful hints for the group exercises and discussion questions, and handout pages to copy.'

Gay Muslims living in straight marriages end up exploiting "practicing sisters" and are fully abetted by clueless "Imams" who claim that they know many Muslims who have overcome their feelings through living a "good, Islamic way of life." Such Imams and gay Muslims are more concerned about identity politics than about human dignity and justice.
The Supreme Court of Canada has held that the Quebec government is infringing on the religious freedom of Loyola High School to require it to teach the Christianity portion of this course from a neutral, rather than a Christian, perspective. The Supreme Court of Canada has effectively held that the Charter's fundamental freedom of religion provision trumps the Charter's equality rights.
If the "Lake of Fire" fiasco that cost the Wildrose the last election is any indication, Albertans overwhelmingly vote against a party that smells of promoting homophobia, so there is no need to seek a "safe middle ground" on this wedge issue. In fact, the "middle ground" is not so politically safe for right wing parties. In two years, it will be far less safe. So why is Prentice talking tough but actually equivocating on an issue for which he clearly has overwhelming public support?
Different-sex parents, apparently, have a few things to learn about how to run a household from same-sex parents. New evidence concludes that because same-sex couples allocate household chores based on each individual parent's suitability for the job, rather than on gender stereotypes, children from those homes are growing up in happier and more harmonious family environments.
The truck driver tells us to trust him (apparently, this was enough for us to believe that he wasn't a serial killer) and opens up the back of the truck. And of course, anytime the back of a truck opens, you're obliged to look in. Sure enough, costumes. An abundance of them, along with heels I made sure to take note of and purchase later on.
Trinity Western University: Their "values" have once again come under scrutiny with their recent desire to have their own shiny law school. The most interesting part of TWU's covenant is the voluntary, obligatory commitment to abstain from "sexual intimacy that violates the sacredness of marriage between a man and a woman." In other words, no gay fornical kabootling. It's shameful thinking. Especially in Canada.
Did you hear about the Drag Queen Ken-Barbie? It "came out" with three, count 'em, three of Barbie's dresses? Mike, a Barbie-loving, 30-something year-old man who never left home would know all about that. Barbie seems to have turned into something of a gay icon. The coming out process is two-fold: "They disclose their sexuality. They profess their love for Barbie."
Years ago I found out that someone I love is gay. I was instructed to love the sinner and hate his sin. My fidgeting became loud and urgent. How could I be part of a community that knowingly marginalized? I watched his faith circle adjust to the news of his homosexuality. Christianity framed our world in a way that created this need for a period of mourning over something sacred. Personal. None of our goddamn business.
My best friend for a quarter century has been "out of the closet" all of his life. Me -- since I was 26. We find we agree on almost everything except Mariah Carey, Katy Perry and gay pride. He calls Pride "a bunch of half-naked gays taking up space on a main street -- why bother?" I say it is one of the most important celebrations a gay or lesbian may choose to partake in.
Call me a slow learner, but I suddenly realized why there have to be gay pride parades at all. It does not matter if it is a big city, small city, Canada or the U.S. There are not enough straight people supporting homosexual rights. And I couldn't help but wonder when the day will come that there will be no need for a Pride Parade.
Law students and associations across Canada have a bone to pick with Trinity Western University's aspirations to be Canada's first Christian law school. Given that it's controversial and it involves conservative Christians, no surprise it's also about sex. Still less surprise, it's about same-sex. Whenever someone is arguing for something, it's fair and often quite enlightening to look for his or her basic operating assumption. The conservative Christian obsession with homosexuality is no secret, but what exactly is its basis?
The Boy Scouts of America are debating opening their clubs to the gay community. Obviously this has led to controversy. When a religion imposes its view on those who do not believe, or follow a different path, there is discontent. If the Boy Scouts of America open their doors to gay boys, how does that affect the belief in God of the other boys?
One of my childhoods was happy. The B&W movies projected on our small TV screen, more often than not, contradicted the drama I was living in my own home movie reels. But there were exceptions. In fact, the images of our television's B&W movies were very real to me. Sidney Poitier was one of those images, and thankfully, he made repeat appearances.
Because today is National Coming Out Day, I was reminded of my own journey. Almost two decades ago, I came out of that supposed "closet" publicly and purposefully for when I finally figured out I was gay, I wanted to shout it to the world. I eventually found the label "gay" something to be proud of. The gay label is just one small part of the big picture. But take it away and I wouldn't be me.
As reported earlier this week, the fine folks running The Toronto District School Board have been up to a few things which have led me to conclude that they do, in fact, hate kids, or at the very least have some bad ideas on what to do with them. First on the docket was this little number. Now in the perfect world, an all gay school, or one that allows the "free expression of homosexuality" would be awesome, a big step forward as they say. But here's the problem with it. It is, for all intents and purposes, segregation. Removing a visible minority from the public high schools, and placing them in their very own school. Sounds good, but isn't that what they did in Little Rock, AK circa the late 50's. If I recall history class, there were riots and national guard deployments over that. And also note the idea of having an "inclusive society" generally implies having everyone working together, not in their own little sectors.
I came out to my family 10 years ago this month. It was, without question, the hardest thing I have ever done. For a long time, I tortured myself about my sexual orientation. It took a long time before I could even think that little sentence, the one I used to find so horrible and isolating, the one that goes like this: I'm gay.
Before we have another case like Jamie Hubley's on our hands, it's time for Canada to stand up loud and proud and say, "It gets better." Where is Prime Minister Harper's message that it gets better? I don't believe that Harper, his cabinet, the Conservative Party or other Members of Parliament are anti-gay. But I think their silence is deafening.

Neoseeker : Games : Playstation : Action : Platform : Crash Bandicoot 2: Cortex Strikes Back
BackgroundCrash Bandicoot 2: Cortex Strikes Back follows the action-platforming adventures of Crash Bandicoot and his arch-nemesis Dr. Neo Cortex. After his shock defeat at the hands of Crash Bandicoot, the mad doctor was lucky enough to crash into a planet possessing a powerful emphasis upon balance in the solar system. After running several tests on the planet's crystals, Dr. Neo Cortex came to the conclusion that these remarkably powered crystals were responsible for the balance and the alignment of the planets.
Unfortunately, some of these crystals were missing, and the solar system is in a desperate state of despair. Knowing this, Dr. Neo Cortex built the Cortex Vortex, a machine that in theory is meant to save the world. Unfortunately to complete the Cortex Vortex, Dr. Neo Cortex has sinisterly called upon the services of Crash Bandicoot to help him gain all twenty-five crystals.
GameplayAs Crash, it's up to you to find and collect all of the needed
crystals to save the world from destruction. You'll have to slide,
spin, jump, and run your way through immense levels inhabited by
fierce enemies and dangerous traps. You can collect Aku Aku masks
to help you advance through the levels quicker and safer, and by
collecting three in a row, you'll become invincible for a short
period of time.

Investigator's Assignment Nears End
Published: August 24, 2003
(Page 2 of 2)
When he got back to the United States, all his possessions could fit in an over-the-shoulder bag, he said. But his brother and two sisters took him out shopping. Soon he had new clothes and had bought a used maroon 1967 Corvette Stingray. He made other changes, as well. Within a year, he was married to Janet F. Johnson, whom he had met before shipping off. (They have two children, Katherine and Christopher.)
He rose steadily through the Navy ranks, handling a range of duties.
''Every job I had I was always studying how my boss did his job,'' he said. Some led and inspired; some ''yelled and screamed and threw things.'' If the boss did not do his job well, he said, that was part of his education, too -- ''and trust me, I've learned from some masters.'
The lessons led to a leadership style that builds loyalty.
''He's one of the greatest admirals we've had,'' said Ralph Nahra, who served with Admiral Gehman at NATO headquarters.
The Columbia board presented different challenges. Any member of the board, the admiral said, ''could have been the chairman.'' Discussions about the report took ''a lot of time'' and ''a lot of electrons.'' Each board member was an investigator and was responsible for writing the sections that they had focused on.
Ultimately, the writing process came down to hundreds of questions that had to be answered, he said, sometimes after extremely detailed discussion.
Each question required debate to ensure that every assertion was supported: In its final seconds did the orbiter spin out of control and the wing came off, or did the wing come off first and then the orbiter spun out of control? ''We spent hours on that,'' he said.
The offices of the board are simple, and have the look of a place nobody expects to be in for long. Floor-to-ceiling display boards are mounted in the hallways, with large posters showing the progress of Columbia's breakup, a reconstructed image of the shuttle's left wing with pieces recovered from the ground across Texas, looking like a jigsaw puzzle with crucial pieces missing. And there are favorite letters from the 4,000 sent in by the public. Many were helpful, board members say -- but some were like the note from the consultant who wrote, ''It is my opinion that the root cause of the problems is poor feng shui of NASA's buildings.'' He offered his services as a feng shui master.
And there is the slightly crazed humor of people pressed into intense association, like one image of James Hallock, the bearded, professorial director of the aviation safety division of the Department of Transportation who served on the board. In the picture, he holds an electric guitar to live up to his in-house nickname, ''ZZ,'' for his resemblance to hirsute members of the band ZZ Top. There is a reproduction of a movie poster from ''The Texas Chainsaw Massacre'' showing the film's mad killer, Leatherface, with his chainsaw at the ready. Someone has superimposed Admiral Gehman's face over his.
One member of the board, Brig. Gen. Duane Deal, said he was impressed with Adm. Gehman's grasp of detail and a management style that sometimes seems loose in the give and take of meetings, but still diligently works to get the job done.
''As we spent so much time in Houston, in Texan terms, he's the trail boss charged with corralling a herd of clever and confident cattle roaming the range, and he's been able to brand us without using a lasso,'' he said.
Others who have met with Admiral Gehman say they are impressed with the way he has run the board. Representative Sherwood Boehlert, the chairman of the House Science Committee, said: ''He obviously knows where he's going. He's obviously a guy who was not seaman first class but an admiral, a take-charge kind of guy.''
Admiral Gehman, who spoke the day after board members received the CD-ROM disk containing their complete report, will wind down his work with the board over the next months with a round of Congressional testimony and publication of four additional volumes of appendices to the report.
He smiles and says, ''I will be glad to go back to resuming my fully retired life.''
Maybe he will get back to his beloved historical fiction and cold war spy novels. Maybe he will even get to sail. But he does not seem to believe it, and a quiet retirement is not likely. He got a call last week from the commission investigating the power blackout.
''They called here asking for advice,'' he said.

She is, and has been, a lot of things — a goddess isn't one
After four years together and six months of marriage, it occurred to me the other day that my husband has no idea who I am. This realization came when our mutual Facebook friend delivered a notification to my phone: "You have been invited to 'Affirmation of the Goddess: A Coloring Book for Her,'" which included a picture of a purple woman with wings, surrounded by some bright arty shapes accompanied by the slogan, "I am divinely connected and allow...

Editor-At-Large: After grueling workout, she's CrossFit to be tired
They come to compete, "marred by dust and sweat and blood."Sounds a little dramatic to me, but so goes the description of a recent CrossFit competition in neighboring Carson that drew an astonishing 50,000 spectators and hundreds of athletes from 138 countries. This relatively new "sport" – the quotes are not...
Disaster planning and response
Fire sparks a reminder we need to be ready for disaster
I was surfing the Internet looking at the top viral videos of 2014, hypnotized by the cat superhero who saved a little boy from a vicious dog attack – pondering how I was going to tell J.J. that our cat Jake had knocked over and shattered the unity vase from our wedding, then started kicking and circling the sand, preparing to relieve himself amid the colorful grains that symbolized our newly-combined families – when the...

Feeling the heat when it comes to breaking the ice
They arrived early, ready to shake hands, smile and nod vigorously. Mounds of muffins and Danish would go untouched; too many people to meet, too much small talk to exchange. "So, what do you do?" they asked with urgency."Do you have kids?""What school do they go to?""That is so interesting!" The first meeting the 2016 class of Leadership Long Beach this week was rife with excited nervousness –...
For her, school lunch is love in a brown paper bag
It was the first day of school, and someone stole my lunch. My meticulously packed turkey on wheat with mayo congealed in the daytime sun; a packet of almonds, granola bar, grapes. Gone. This may be college – and I am no longer a student, but an actual part-time teacher now – yet the fact of being grown and mature matters not. The aching disappointment of looking forward to unfurling a paper bag and aluminum foil after a stressful day of work and study was...
Dodging the slings and arrows of journalism (and life)
I was an intern on the sports desk, vacillating between soaring confidence when the high school football coach praised my accurate stat-taking after Friday's night's game, and demoralized tears following a phone message and two emails from parents of players lambasting my coverage of the same game. "My son threw for 51 years, not 48 as YOU reported erroneously," one wrote. "What are you, an idiot? Who hired you?" chimed another.
Editor-At-Large: Thermal comfort and Amazing Women nominations
Women will always find something to whine about, writes Keith from Vancouver: "If we could harness the power of female whining, we would have an unlimited supply of clean, albeit annoying, energy."This in response to an article in the New York...
Newlywed trips over 'how's the married life' question
"So … How's the married the life?" At times the query is posed with trepidation, as if the asker is worried — or perhaps hoping — that I'll whimper with tears of regret or erupt in a tirade of bitterness. It has also been asked with a hint of mockery, as if the inquisitor is in on some joke about the walk down the aisle transforming women into whiny nags who ask their "hubbies" with childish voices whether...
Her dream vacation day goes down the toothpaste tubes
The tears began around the time I went to the bathroom to brush my teeth and found there was no toothpaste left, yet someone had helpfully returned the tube to its perch in the medicine cabinet. The world no longer made sense. Hope had been vanquished. Life was as dark and bleak as downtown Long Beach during a four-day power outage, as unsettling as a rainstorm in July. It was as frustrating as email going down in the heart of the work day this week, leaving all of us without a...
Suffering through aging pains to prove she's still young
"Our bodies change with age."So went the pleasant beginning of a manual on how to prevent sports injuries in "mature adults." Like receiving that first piece of mail from the AARP with graying men and women smiling and swinging in hammocks, I read it with a shudder of disgust."Be sure and warm up and cool down before and after exercising, and take time to stretch!" Stretch? Really? Is that necessary?Apparently so, along...
