Mauro Ferrari, Ph.D., a nanomedicine scientist at The University of Texas Health Science Center at Houston and The University of Texas M. D. Anderson Cancer Center, has received a five-year, $7 million Innovator Award from the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) Breast Cancer Research Program to develop a targeted new delivery system for breast cancer drugs. . If this new approach proves successful, it could increase the efficiency of drug delivery by concentrating more drug at the site of a tumor. A more efficient drug delivery system has the potential to reduce side effects associated with these drugs.
In global competition, Ferrari was the sole recipient of the DoD Breast Cancer Innovator Award for his proposal submitted in 2008, making him the 17th recipient of this unique award in the last eight years. The Innovator Award is offered to support visionary individuals who have demonstrated creativity, innovative work and leadership in any field who will focus their talents on breast cancer.
"Dr. Ferrari is translating advances in nanotechnology into the prevention and treatment of human diseases; that is why we are here," said Larry Kaiser, M.D., president of the UT Health Science Center at Houston. "His work in the area of cancer is particularly promising and Dr. Ferrari's leadership in this collaborative approach is significant."
Right now, when doctors inject a breast cancer drug, only a small percentage reaches malignant cells. The remaining drug circulates through blood vessels and can kill healthy, non-cancerous tissue. Side effects can include fatigue, hair loss and diarrhea.
With conventional chemotherapy, approximately one of every 100,000 drug molecules reaches its intended destination.
Ferrari's proposed solution to this problem is to package these drugs in miniaturized carriers engineered to search out, recognize and release their payload at the site of the tumor. These nanocarriers are about one hundr

Hate the new design
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
- Fit: Runs large
Height: 5' 7"Weight: 120 lbsSize Purchased: 2 tall
I bought a pair of Monarch pants a couple years ago and they were the best-fitting, most flattering hiking pants I have ever worn. It is very difficult for me to find hiking pants that fit correctly, let alone look good one me. The back pockets made my butt look great! I lost some weight and excitedly ordered a new pair without noticing that they changed them and boy, am I disappointed. The back pockets are truly awful, asymmetrical, and flatten my butt. They don't fit the same and are extremely unflattering. I am really upset that I wasted so much money on a pair of pants that fit the same as a cheap pair from REI.
Breathable, functional, LONG inseam
- Familiarity: I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions
- Fit: True to size
Height: 5' 11"Weight: 135 lbsSize Purchased: 4/Tall
Very comfortable, flattering and functional. The fit is streamlined without being at all tight or constricting. The zippers on the legs hit right at my knee (as can be seen on the product photos), which I thought might be uncomfortable on long hikes, but this has not been an issue so far. The zip off legs can be pulled over my rather huge hiking boots, which is super convenient.
I tried these and the prAna Halle pants, and much preferred the Monarchs for their bigger front pockets and slightly thinner, more breathable fabric.
Finally, hiking for tall women!
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
- Fit: True to size
Height: 5' 11"Weight: 155 lbsSize Purchased: 8 Tall
Love these pants. Spent three weeks hiking in Switzerland and these were my goto pants/shorts! Long enough for my 36" inseam, a little extra rise for us tall women, very nice fabric, dry quick, zip off legs come off over boots, internal drawstring for a little extra customization. Perfect.
Read, Employee
Long Enough and look great
- Gender: Female
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
- Fit: True to size
Height: 6' 1"Weight: 150 lbsSize Purchased: 8 Tall
These pants are great. The am tall and the Tall size is long enough for my long legs. I have worn them backpacking, in vacation, running around on a Saturday and pretty much any time I can.

Zen describes several kinds of patience that can be practiced at work: acceptance of difficulty and hardship, not acting hastily, and acceptance of what is true. Let's explore these.
Acceptance of difficulty. Our lives at work can be transformed when we completely accept that difficulty is to be expected and cannot be avoided. This doesn't mean we take the negative attitude of "what will go wrong today?" Instead, we just pay attention to our own state of mind. We make our best effort. We meet each situation as it arises.
Not acting hastily. Given how difficult, unpredictable, and stressful our work lives can be, it is easy to respond quickly and impatiently. In difficult situations, just stop, think, and look more carefully at what really is the cause of the difficulty. When your computer crashes you can get upset and yell at whoever is in charge of your computer systems. Or, when your computer crashes, what if you just stop, take a breath, and notice your breathing, notice what is around you.
Acceptance of what is true. Most of our impatience comes from our wanting things to be different from what they are. Our overnight package did not arrive overnight. This is just true. There is nothing we can do to change what is. We can take actions to expedite the package's delivery, but this action includes accepting what is difficult, not acting hastily, and accepting what is true.
Some questions:
When are you patient and when you are impatient at work?
What is most difficult for you at work?
What part of this difficulty do you create?
How can you transform this difficulty?
Adapted from Z.B.A. Zen of Business Administration.

Van slams into South Knoxville bank
KNOXVILLE — A Seymour woman escaped injury today after her van inexplicably zoomed from a parking space and into a South Knoxville bank.
Barbara Crisp, 65, said she had conducted business Thursday in the Regions Bank, 7320 Chapman Highway, and was backing from a handicap parking spot when the mishap occurred about 1 p.m.
"I put it in reverse and it's like the gas pedal stuck," Crisp said. "I was hitting the brake, but it was like the gas was struck."
The dark blue 2005 Kia Sedona van zipped about 30 feet across the parking lot and parallel parked against the side of the bank. The van stopped because it struck a stone wall jutting from one corner of the bank.
Crisp said he has owned the van for about a year and had not experienced any similar problem.
The bank didn't appear to suffer any structural damage. No one was injured.
"The ambulance came, but I'm all right," Crisp said. "Just scared."
Crisp was cited to court on a charge of not having proof of insurance. Crisp said she has insurance but didn't have her updated insurance card with her.

Taking the Next Steps to High Performance in Federal Financial Management
Steinhoff, Jeffrey C. Cgfm, Cpa, Cfe, Price, Laura Cgfm, Cpa, The Journal of Government Financial Management
Passage of the Chief Financial Officers (CFO) Act of 1990 ushered in a new era in federal financial management. The CFO Act and the companion legislation that followed significantly changed the landscape of the federal CFO. The legislative framework moved the CFO far beyond basic accounting responsibilities to a role of agency leader in providing support across the range of programs and operations. The expectations for the CFO were raised appreciably, as were the requirements.
Today, the federal CFO is at a crossroads. By any measure, there has been ground-breaking progress in federal financial management. The federal finance organization of today does not at all resemble what you would have seen two decades ago. At the same time, AGA's latest annual CFO survey shows that CFOs feel overly burdened by compliance requirements and routine finance operations.1 The federal financial management community has talked a lot about the next steps in the journey. But what do those next steps entail or better yet, what are the attributes that represent a high-performing federal finance organization?
Based on research of authoritative sources, such as policies and guidance developed by the Office of Management and Budget (OMB), the Department of the Treasury (Treasury) and the Government Accountability Office (GAO), this article seeks to capture the concept of what high performance means for a federal finance organization.
High-Performing Federal Finance Organizations Operate in Three Areas of Responsibility
Federal finance organizations operate primarily within three distinct areas of responsibility (hereafter referred to as dimensions): as the provider of accounting and finance support services, as business support to program managers, and as the financial adviser to the agency's highest levels of management. Accordingly, CFOs and their staff have roles and responsibilities associated with each of these dimensions. Properly balancing these roles and responsibilities is key to the finance organization's success.
* Dimension 1 - Finance Operations: The finance organization carries out basic finance functions, including budget execution and processing of transactions, financial reporting, compliance with laws and regulations, and financial risk management, with excellence and ease.
* Dimension 2 - Program Operations: The finance organization supports the achievement of the agency's programs with reliable, useful and timely financial information, cost-effective internal controls and highquality financial analyses.
* Dimension 3 - Enterprise Operations: The finance organization is a leader at the enterprise level, involved in agency-wide strategic leadership.
High-performing finance organizations are those that have moved far beyond the basic accounting, control, compliance and financial reporting tasks that represent the "back room" of finance in the first dimension, to a role in regularly providing value and insight to program managers and those in the executive "board room" of the agency, where decision support and strategic leadership occur.
The dimensions are interrelated and complementary. High performance in one dimension can enhance performance in other dimensions. There is also some natural overlap among the dimensions as a high-performing finance organization will concurrently work across the three dimensions in addressing a particular information need or management initiative. The finance organization plays various roles across each of these dimensions. Within these dimensions, the finance organization will carry out roles that either create value or preserve value. An example of creating value is assisting program managing in integrating performance metrics when formulating budgets and operational strategies, which helps improve operations and drive performance. An example of preserving value is implementing a comprehensive fraud risk program that assesses and mitigates fraud risk. …

As mentioned in a previous blog post, one of the main highlights of Windows Server 2008 is Componentization. Replacing the old "Add/Remove Windows Components" is the new Server Manager, which manages installation and removal of Roles and Features (the new way components are grouped). I just installed a few virtual machines with the new June CTP, an MSDN-and-TechNet-subscribers-only release that is also known as the IDS3. Since I already had the list of roles and features from the Beta 3 blog post, I decided to compare what changed both in the Full and Server Core installations. In both cases, I used the Enterprise edition. Here are all the details:
Jose Barreto just informed me that he has an excellent list of what has changed between Server 2008 Beta

Lord Heseltine hints at 'exciting' news ahead for Humber region
Posted: July 02, 2014|
The Humber Local Enterprise Partnership (LEP) waits with bated breath as the Tory-led coalition gears up to announce the regional winners and losers of its annual £2 billion Local Growth Fund, as championed by Tory grandee Lord Heseltine. Meanwhile, Labour's Lord Adonis gets the party seal of approval for his plans to create 'super-councils' armed with radical tax-raising powers, boosted by a £6 billion pot of Whitehall cash. The Telegraph's parliamentary correspondent, Soraya Kishtwari, compares their proposals for devolution.
IN the blue corner is political heavyweight Lord Heseltine, one of the "big beasts" of the Thatcher era and current adviser to David Cameron on economic growth. In the red corner we have Lord Adonis, the original architect of High Speed 2 and the head of Labour's growth review.
As early as next week, the Humber LEP will learn whether or not it has been successful in securing a share of the Government's £2 billion bonanza to get local growth and infrastructure projects off the ground. The Humber Local Enterprise Partnership (LEP), headed by crossbencher Lord Haskins, will be hoping for a significant share of the local growth fund, after submitting its bid on March 31.
Lord Heseltine warns it is unlikely to receive the full amount it has requested, as the fund has been "heavily oversubscribed". He suggests, however, that its Growth Deal will not be rejected outright, saying there is scope for its projects to be "phased".
He tells the Telegraph: "I can't reveal what's coming – but it will be very exciting."
The Humber LEP is competing alongside 38 other LEPs across England for a slice of the £10 billion Whitehall cash available over a five-year period.
It has put in a bid for £156.4 million, of which it is seeking £61.7 million as part of the first tranche in 2015-16, for a variety of infrastructure and business projects including better flood defences and optimising the use of port land around the Humber Estuary. Among the planned investments is a £3.7 million upgrade to the Cleethorpes flyover, £8.2 million to replace traditional street lighting units and £23.81 million to improve Grimsby Docks' flood defences, minimising the risks for 15,915 households, as well as business properties, including the ABP Port estate and road/rail infrastructure.
The former cabinet minister describes the process – which has seen bids spearheaded by LEPs, backed by local councils, academics and business figures – as "unprecedented in English history".
The Conservative former deputy prime minister, who has been advising the Government on the bids, says: "It's fair to say they have exceeded our expectations, they are heavily oversubscribed compared to the money that's available. But the money that's available in 2015-16 – £2 billion – is merely the first year of a long-term programme."
In 2012, Lord Heseltine urged the Government to take bolder action to stimulate the economy in his report No Stone Unturned, in which he urged a greater devolution of power from Westminster to the regions. Essentially, he was arguing for places like Grimsby and Cleethorpes to be financially empowered to drive their own growth, saying that local political and business leaders were better placed to make that happen than faceless Whitehall mandarins.
Lord Heseltine says to realise its ambitions, the Humber just needs to "think big", as he suggests that the fund is about enabling them to turn ideas into tangible benefits for local people and business.
Thinking out loud, he says: "What could we do with the traffic from Europe across that Atlantic bridge? Traffic flow has to go all the way around, but is there another way?
"It's not rocket science. It's a scaringly obvious question and we've now got the mechanism to ask that question and we've got a Government that is saying we're listening, there could be something here."
According to Lord Heseltine, unlocking Grimsby and Cleethorpes' full economic potential means investing in better education to cope and cater to the demands of the growing renewables industry.
He argues that North East Lincolnshire will not be able to compete unless it invests in nurturing future talent. With 20 per cent of children leaving primary school without decent literacy and numerical skills, he says joined-up business and political thinking is needed to "close the education gap".
"You cannot compete in tomorrow's world with that level of underperformance," he warns.
He urges Education Secretary Michael Gove, whose controversial plans to drive up education standards have been met with fierce criticism by the teaching unions, "to go further, go faster; a reverse of what the Establishment pressure on him is to do.
"They want him to ease up and to take the foot off the acceleration. My advice would be do the opposite.
"We tolerate indifferent standards and Michael Gove is not doing that and he's absolutely right."
In many ways, Lord Adonis seems to be singing from the same hymn sheet.
He, too, acknowledges the skills shortage and need to improve education levels and has put forward proposals to establish 100 new technical colleges.
Fresh from unveiling his proposals on devolution – see the article on the right – he insists his plans would do more to boost regional prosperity.
His key recommendation, to give councils full control over the extra income generated from business rates, certainly goes a step further than Lord Heseltine is prepared to support.
The Tory peer says that allowing regions to use tax as a "lever" for raising levels of growth is something he has "wrestled with for years". But in the end, he resisted the idea because it would further entrench divisions between richer and poorer areas.
"The areas that argue for it are always the rich ones," he says.
"If I was a rich area, I would argue for it, but the fact is that someone has to pay for the less rich ones."
The peer says there is a public "assumption" that taxes will provide equal services across the country, in health, education and local government.
But Lord Adonis dismisses those fears as "very pessimistic".
He says: "Growth rates do vary widely, but it's not just London that's growing. The North East has done very well in terms of exports over the last ten years and has huge growth potential."
But there remains more that unites the two men than separates them, with both supporting a more collaborative approach between local authorities, businesses, LEPs, schools and universities.
"On education, infrastructure, regional growth, productivity and living standards, the UK lags much of Europe and North America. Having once been the world's dynamo of new products, ideas and processes, British firms struggle to grow, find the skilled workers they require and export.
"England's business leaders and local governments need empowering to invest in infrastructure, skills and economic development.
"While big numbers dominate discussions about economic growth, the real story exists in the company, or the cluster, or the school, or the city," says Lord Adonis.
Lord Heseltine wouldn't disagree.Follow us on Facebook and Twitter

Multiple Self Decrypting files
Created: 03 Aug 2012 | 2 comments
We have a Windows environment and no PGP products installed. A client sent us a few hundred self decrypting files. Is there any way to do a mass decryption?
Any help is greatly appreciated!
Discussion Filed Under:
Comments 2 Comments • Jump to latest comment
Do they all have the same passphrase? You can decrypt multiple files in PGP Viewer, not sure if that applies to SDA's, because the whole point of SDAs is to give files to people without PGP. If you're never going to have PGP in your environment, the answer is no i think.
Surely they can put them all into a folder and give it to you again in 1 SDA ? That would be the easiest option

Integrating economic and human resources, AFODENIC offers affordable and adaptable financial services aimed at strengthening the family unit of their clients, who include students, producers, and micro- and small entrepreneurs from rural and urban areas.

Concurrent and Successive Loans
Our Field Partners often work with borrowers over a series of loans as the borrowers build credit, take out bigger loans, and expand their businesses. In order to make it easier for our Field Partners to post loans for borrowers who have been listed on Kiva before, we allow them to post successive and concurrent loans for their Kiva borrowers. This means that our Field Partners are able to post a borrower's second, third, etc., loan on Kiva without having to re-enter all of the borrower's information.
This borrower has been listed on Kiva before, so you'll see an updated loan description, as well as excerpts of the original descriptions from earlier loans. Most borrowers take out loans consecutively, meaning that they receive a second loan after having repaid the first. However, sometimes our Field Partners give out concurrent loans, allowing borrowers to take out one primary loan and a secondary "add-on" loan along with it. These "add-on" loans are typically smaller than the borrower's primary loan and serve a different purpose. Because Field Partners can now post loans as successive and concurrent loans, you will be able to track borrower progress over time and see the various ways a borrower is working with our Field Partners through funds from Kiva's lenders.

An endangered sea turtle surprises scientists by showing off an otherworldly glow underwater.
Technically Incorrect: John Podesta, a senior White House adviser who's leaving to, reportedly, head up a Hillary Clinton bid for the presidency, says his biggest regret on departing is not securing the release of "the UFO files."
These crop circle towels add a touch of alien beauty to any home, whether you believe spacecrafts have landed on Earth or not.
For years now, Crave's Eric Mack has been telling the story of the UFO he saw over a decade ago. Turns out he's probably had it all wrong that whole time.
The public now has access to near-constant images from the International Space Station, Mars rovers and an orbiter circling a distant comet, providing plenty of new "evidence" we are not alone.
Scientists from Australia dress sea turtles in little swimsuits to collect and study their poop. Yeah, the story loses a bit of its cuteness after that little fact.
The truth is still out there & FBI agents Mulder and Scully plan on uncovering it in this new footage, which includes flashbacks, explosions, familiar faces and a possible dead alien, from the upcoming "X-Files" revival show.

Brent Oil Slides as Libyan Rebels Enter Tripoli; Premium Shrinks
Aug. 22 (Bloomberg) -- Brent oil fell in London, narrowing its record premium to the main U.S. oil grade, as investors bet that Libyan production may recover after rebels entered the capital city of Tripoli in a push to force out Muammar Qaddafi.
The European benchmark contract tumbled more than 3 percent amid speculation Qaddafi's regime is crumbling. Libya's output dropped to 100,000 barrels a day last month, a Bloomberg News survey showed. That's less than 10 percent of the 1.6 million barrels the nation pumped before the uprising started in February. Prices rose in New York as the dollar weakened, making crude more attractive for protecting against inflation.
"If the rebels continue to gain control as more liquidity comes into the oil market we could see prices fall more," said Torbjoern Kjus, a senior analyst at DnB NOR ASA in Oslo, who predicts Brent will stabilize at about $100 a barrel. "We have no idea right now how much the oilfields and infrastructure have been damaged. But all the incentives are there for western companies and countries to get production back as quickly as possible."
Brent oil for October settlement dropped as much as $3.47 to $105.15 a barrel on the London-based ICE Futures Europe exchange, and was at $107.42 at 1:41 p.m. London time. The contract was at a premium of $23.93 to West Texas Intermediate, the main U.S. grade, compared with a record $26.21 at settlement on Aug. 19.
'Room to Fall'
Crude for October delivery, the most actively traded contract on the New York Mercantile Exchange, gained $1.08 to $83.49 a barrel in electronic trading. September futures, which expire today, rose $1.05 to $83.31. They fell 3.7 percent last week, a fourth weekly decline. Prices have slumped 28 percent from their 2011 peak on May 2.
"Brent has a lot more room to fall," Victor Shum, a senior principal at Purvin & Gertz Inc. in Singapore, said in an interview with Linzie Janis on Bloomberg Television's "First Look" today. "In the near-term, it could fall below $100. If Qaddafi is gone in a matter of days, expectations are that Libyan oil flow will resume quite quickly."
Brent, more sensitive to global supply disruptions than WTI because it's a benchmark for half of the world's oil, advanced 19 percent in the first half of 2011 as an armed rebellion against Qaddafi disrupted the country's supplies. Libyan rebels said they captured two of Qaddafi's sons as they pushed into Tripoli yesterday.
Moving Average
Brent is trading below its 200-day moving average, signaling a breach of technical support, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. This indicator is around $107.90 a barrel today. Prices tend to extend declines when chart-support levels are broken.
Hedge funds and other money managers increased bullish bets on Brent crude by 1.5 percent in the week ended Aug. 16, according to data from ICE Futures Europe.
Speculative bets that prices will rise, in futures and options combined, outnumbered short positions by 49,608 contracts, the London-based exchange said today in its weekly Commitment of Traders report. Net-long positions rose by 756 contracts, from 48,852 a week earlier.
New York futures rose on speculation that further measures by the U.S. Federal Reserve to stimulate the economy will support demand for fuel in the world's biggest crude consumer.
Prices in New York and London have declined for the past four weeks as debt crises in Europe and the U.S. deterred investors from holding riskier assets. Hedge funds and other speculators cut wagers on rising crude prices by 0.1 percent to 142,769 in the week ended Aug. 16, according to the Commodity Futures Trading Commission's Commitments of Traders report.
OPEC Action
The Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries will react if prices continue to slump, Iranian OPEC governor Mohammad Ali Khatibi said, according to comments on the oil ministry's website. Still, he said there's no need currently for the organization to convene an emergency meeting.
Crude may recover if operations in the Gulf of Mexico are disrupted by this year's Atlantic storm season, which runs between June and November.
Hurricane Irene became the first hurricane of the season, strengthening from a tropical storm as it moves over Puerto Rico, the National Hurricane Center in Miami said in a statement today.

Always amazed when I see a fresh discussion of Movie Film. I am almost tempted to do an FAQ on my web space.
1) 35mm Movie film comes with Bell and Howell perfs, BH1866 vs KS 1370 for "normal film" Not a big deal for still cameras. A bit of a problem if using still Film in a movie camera.
2) All this film uses Process ECN-II - All of the curent film has a "REM-JET" back which will destroy c-41 Chemistry. (black gunk everywhere) So it eaither has to be done at home or by a movie lab.
3) all has a orange mask, and can be printed on colour paper. All has lower contrast than still film.
4 Most movie labs don't have a still splicer. They can get away with overlapping 6 inches of film at each end. Only a few folks have he sort of splicer that a still lab uses (heat seal paper) since the processers often run at 100FT/ Minute or better, they need a good splice.
5) to get slides it must be printed on 2383 or the equivalent product from Agfa or Fuji. The movie printers can't change filtration fast enough to allow for anything other than all 5 feet being printed at one flter seting (called Timing for historic reasons in the movie biz)
6 ECN negative has always had fairly good stability, the print stock used to be iffy as the major customers destroy prints after 6 months.

Everyone raves about this, so I thought I'd give it a shot. The feel is really different. It does have the bouncy texture. It is so hard to apply. I've tried so many methods and it doesn't apply the way I would like it. It feels somewhat of a rubbery texture. I would not recommend this to anyone.

Ugh...I knew this was a mistake the first time I tried it. The texture of the stuff in the compact is interesting, but trying to actually apply it was horrific. Virtually nothing came off on my finger and, when I pressed harder, it came out in small chunks. It was very difficult to apply to my skin. Wish I could return this.

I have fair skin and bought the Fresh Pink in 05. I used this product on top of my foundation and I don't suggest that. It moved and didn't blend in very well. I do have oily skin so that may have effected the movement of the blush and the why it looked caked on right after applying it. I think it would be best on a non-oily face and someone who doesn't used any foundation.

I have this in pink plum. I love the feel and mouse like formula. I find it super easy to work with and it gives a fresh healthy flush. I plan to buy more. I also like this better or as much as the color pop blushes.

I used to love the mousse blusher that Maybelline had, so when they discontinued it, I bought this one in hopes it would have a similar effect. I do like the finish of this one more, as it is a satin finish instead of glittery. However, I find the texture really difficult to work with. The product moves around in the pan so much and the product doesn't go on the skin as nicely as a powder does. If you can make it work on your skin, it would be a great blush but I haven't found a way. Will not be repurchasing, but I will try to use up what I have.

This is a really nice blush for me! The light pinks ones go really well on my fair skin, and goes good for a bright energetic makeup look, the creamy consistency makes it go on the skin very smoothly and it gives me a dewy and healthy glow. I use my fingers to apply it because i found it a bit hard to use a brush, all it did was stab the blush and mess it up, so I just use my fingers (after washing them so I don't put any bacteria from my hands on my face) since it's so creamy I like using it more in the winter so my skin looks extra soft and stays put, definitely would recommend if you like creamy blushes.

I have two of this blush, in Candid Coral and Peach Satin. But I find that Candid Coral is actually more peachy, and Peach Satin is more coral than their names suggest. They don't have any detectable glitter in, but somehow still gives off such a nice sheen, you can see it clealrly when you swatch them on your finger. On my cheeks Candid Coral looks really fresh, while Peach Satin gives me a subtle vibe of warmth. Anyway, I had Peach Satin first, and it was an interesting experience enough for me to get the other one.
Anyway, you heard me, interesting experience. It was tricky to use, it's soft and almost feels like a marshmallow, but if your press your finger on it, it's not bouncing back. Pressing also does not deliver much pigmentation. The best way to get color off it, is by swirling gently on the surface of the blush, either with your finger or a brush, a stipple brush is the best, I use the E.L.F Stippling brush. The sub-tropic summer heat also helped me a lot in understanding and working with this blush. At first I bought it, it was during the cold winter and I just couldn't get it to work, I thought it was a lost cause. But in the summer, it's so hot here, that mine melted in the pan, not liquidy-melted, but it softens considerably, so I couldn't stab my finger in anymore, and I learnt how well the swirling motion worked. Either way, it's still pretty problematic, as I worry that it will run out gradually, it won't stick to the pan anymore and using it would be such a pain. I wish they had just made it a solid one, like the NYX cream blush, and save us the hassle. Like with the Age Rewind concealer, the guys at package design should really stop getting so "creative".
Other than than, the pigmentation and the staying power are really good, I'm pale so I have to use a pretty light hand, and after 6 hours or even more, it's still there. Also, like other cream blushes in general, it looks more real/natural and less "painted" on me. I don't think you necessarily have to use your finger and some heat to make it work, as a brush works out fine for me, it blends out very easily. Also, the price. It was a bit more expensive than the usual drugstore blush, and compare to other blushes from Maybelline as well. I will probably repurchase it out of habit, but only if it's on clearance.

I was not a big fan of this product personally but I feel like this would be a great product for some other people. Unfortunately, I was not one of those people it was working for. I liked the colour pay off - no complaints there - my biggest issue was the consistency. It was abnormally thick and had a weird kind of cream texture to it in my opinion. It look alright on my skin, no sliding or anything, stayed put and did its job, but I didn't really like the way it felt on my skin - again, it's a problem with the weird consistency. I have oily skin so maybe this would be better for dry skinned people? I'm not sure. I am acne-prone and this did not break me out at all so I wouldn't worry about that happening. Overall, there are way better blushes at the drugstore so I would not repurchase, continue use, or recommend to a friend. This is definitely a miss by Maybelline.

I don't understand the low ratings for this, but I guess I kind of understand, as these can be tricky to understand how to use.
I looked at these several times before finally buying my first one. I bought my first one, maybe a year or two ago (so much for reviewing a product right away), and it kind of sat in my stash, untouched and un-opened, bc it kind of intimidated me. But I was watching someone on youtube last year who said she just taps it on to her cheek and then blends it with her fingertips. I tried that, and it worked like a charm!! Also someone suggested using a stipple brush. I find just using my fingers works best. I will say that as you use it and the product is used over time, the product becomes kind of mushy (? sorry can't think of a better word at the moment?), but it just gets like really soft and malleable, it almost looks like playdoh (maybe it is just mine?!) as you use it over time. But the product stays fresh in the pan a long time....I had thought it would dry out really fast, but it has not. I've been using the one since last summer and it is still as fresh as when it was new (if a little sad-looking bc of being 'pushed' around) and the color is just as nice as when it was new.
I have this in one of the pink shades and also Pink Plum, and I greatly love both colors. Colors stay true, but the one drawback is they do not last long throughout the day. I only get a few short hours (maybe 3 hours?) before I have to re-apply. But for a quick outing or just running out for lunch or something, it works just fine. I would not use this for a long work day, because you might be a slave to the mirror, re-applying every couple of hours. But my skin is wonky lately, so someone else may not have that issue. But I did take a lippie off because of short-staying power.
But this had no irritation to my sensitive skin, and I detect no scent.
I keep meaning to get more shades, I better get on that! Things I like always seem to be discontinued! ;)

This is by no means my favorite blush. Its not very pigmented, and when I try and layer it to get more color it gets too dark and fake looking. HOWEVER, I love using it as a base for my blush! I use Plum Wine under blushes to pull more purpley tones and Pink Plum to pull more pink from coral blushes. They help my blush stay on for hours, so I would repurchase for that reason alone. The packaging sucks however, and you dont get much product for the price, but this is a must have for anyone looking to make their blush last for hours

CARACAS, Venezuela — Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez's cancer relapse and his sudden announcement that he will undergo a fourth cancer-related surgery in Cuba have thrown the country's future into question, and his designated political heir has begun trying to fill the void.
Underlining the gravity of the situation, Vice President Nicolas Maduro broke into tears on Monday at a political rally hours after Chavez flew to Havana.
"Chavez has a nation, he has all of us, and he'll have all of us forever in this battle," said Maduro, who wiped away tears while speaking to supporters. "Even beyond this life, we're going to be loyal to Hugo Chavez."
Maduro called for the president's supporters to rally behind his candidates in upcoming gubernatorial elections on Sunday, and he also inaugurated a new cable car system in a poor neighborhood. Maduro, who spoke passionately and wore the red of Chavez's socialist movement, seems set to take on a larger role as the president's chosen successor.
Chavez said for the first time on Saturday that if he suffers complications, Maduro should take over for him and should be elected president to continue his socialist movement.
Analysts say Maduro faces monumental challenges in trying to stand in for his mentor and hold together the president's diverse "Chavismo" movement, while also coping with economic problems that are weighing on the government.
Maduro may inherit political power, "but he definitely can't inherit the charisma" of Chavez, said Luis Vicente Leon, a pollster who heads the Venezuelan firm Datanalisis. He said that during his nearly 14 years in office Chavez has been the glue that has held together groups from radical leftists to moderates, as well as military factions.
Leon said it's unclear if Maduro has what it takes to hold the movement together if Chavez dies. "Internal divisions could make the revolution unstable in the future," Leon said.
Political analyst Vladimir Villegas, who has known Maduro since his adolescence, said the vice president's experience years ago as a public transit union leader will probably help him in the difficult task of mediating between different groups of Chavez allies.
Maduro is considered to belong to a radical leftist wing of Chavez's movement that is closely aligned with Cuba's communist government. But Villegas said he thinks Maduro will know how to contain his radicalism for practical purposes.
"The priority will be the preservation of political stability, for which it will be necessary to begin negotiating with internal groups and even with the opposition," said Villegas, who hosts a radio program. "This situation is going to force him to proceed with caution."
Villegas also said that Maduro will need to "hold on to the trust if the Chavista base and to neutralize the fractions that are going to bet… on him not doing well."
Before leaving for Havana early Monday, Chavez met with military commanders at the presidential palace and promoted his defense minister, Diego Molero, to the rank of admiral in chief. Chavez showed Molero and other military commanders a golden sword that once belonged to independence hero Simon Bolivar.
Holding the sword, Chavez told the officers that he fully trusts them. He also warned of potential conspiracies by enemies, both foreign and domestic.
"I'm totally sure that our homeland is safe," Chavez told them. He urged them "not to give in to intrigue."

Why Biodiversity Matters
04 Jul 13
Close your eyes and picture a farm.
In your mind you may see a landscape with rows of different veggies, various fruit trees, and maybe a few cows or goats nibbling at the grass.
Wrong. The reality today is very different.
Over the past hundred years, the variety of seeds planted has dwindled from hundreds to just a handful. Animal diversity is suffering a similar fate. Large commercial farms that focus on specific animals or plants to maximize yields and profits have caused the variety in our food supply to plummet.
Today the human race relies on just three cereals - rice, wheat and corn - to provide for 60% of our caloric needs. In less than 100 years, we have lost three quarters of vegetable, fruit and legume varieties and a thousand breeds. Along with these plants and animals, we have lost hundreds of breads, cheeses, meats.
Why should we care? Well, we need biodiversity to grow food, or in other words, to survive.
If we only grew one type of corn, a plant disease could easily wipe it out. When there are many types of corn in a field, some may be resistant to the disease. Food security depends on resilient, diverse crops and animals being able to overcome diseases and the effects of climate change.
The diversity that keeps life going also applies to things like soil microbes that carry nutrients to a variety of insects and birds, who in turn pollinate valuable crops. These are adversely affected by the chemical pesticides and herbicides that often go along with industrial farming.
Meanwhile, it is small farmers, fisher folk and herders – among the poorest people in the world – who hold much of what's left of the world's biodiversity in their hands. Biodiversity offers more nutritional options, opportunities to raise incomes, a reservoir of plants to use for medicine, and most importantly a safeguard for our future food supply.
This new video from Slow Food tells the story of why biodiversity is important for our food and our future.
What can you do?
To move forward, Slow Food is focusing not on what we have lost, but on what we can still save.
To help protect biodiversity and food cultures, everyone is invited to nominate a product to the Slow Food Ark of Taste - our catalogue of edible plants, breeds and products linked to specific regions that are at risk.
This biodiversity project launched by FAO in partnership with Slow Food highlights some of our Presidia projects in Africa, working with communities to continue and improve traditional food production.
