You're Probably Not Doing This Important Skin Step — But You Should Be
Lately, I've noticed when I look in the mirror that it's not the skin on my face that seems to be aging faster than I'd like — it's the skin on my chest, or décolletage, as it's often called in beauty land. And, it's driving me nuts since I'm pretty sure it's my fault for neglecting this area over the years.
"Now that women are transforming their faces and necks," says Dr. Francesca Fusco, a Manhattan-based dermatologist, "they are keenly aware of a disconnect when they wear a low-cut top, which reveals a contrast." This difference is made apparent by brown spots, mottled discoloration, red splotches, and vertical fine lines on the chest — all signs of aging.
Dr. Fusco says the skin on the décolletage is thin and subject to photo damage, and it should be treated differently than that of your face. More importantly, though, we need to stop ignoring it completely (oops...). While more women are applying some UV protection to their face daily in the form of sunscreen, moisturizer with SPF, or foundation/BB cream with broad spectrum, they are not as vigilant about their chests. "In many cases, it is because they feel a covered chest is sufficient. However, a T-shirt alone does not provide enough UV protection and is at best an SPF 6 to 8, so broad-spectrum coverage is just as important on the chest." Duly noted.
So, what should we be doing? First and foremost, guard your chest from the sun. As for treating the damage that may have already been done, Dr. Fusco says retinol remains a gold standard in anti-aging programs, and that applies to this area of the body as well. "I recommend starting with an OTC retinol every night. The morning routine should include a brightener, followed by a broad-spectrum sunscreen or moisturizer with a sunblock," she advises.
Vichy LiftActiv Retinol HA Concentrate, $55, available at Vichy; SkinMedica Lytera Skin Brightening Complex, $125, available at SkinMedica.
All that said, you may also find this summer that perspiration and those layers of sunscreens produce tiny acne spots or heat rash called "miliaria." Dr. Fusca recommends trying a nightly mask once or twice a week like the First Aid Beauty Facial Radiance Overnight Mask, which will help hydrate skin. I also love Wei East's Natural Firming Throat and Décolletage Pads.
Follow that up in the morning with a gentle exfoliating pad like First Aid Beauty's Facial Radiance Pads. After exfoliating, you can apply a multipurpose topical like Hydroxatone Declatone Neck and Décolleté Complex. These layered together will help prevent (and fight) those crinkles, spots, and lines.
So, if you've ever watched a Real Housewives episode and been transfixed by the fact that their necks look 10 years older than their faces, you get why expanding your beauty routine below your chin is important. Just say no to Mismatched Face and Chest Syndrome, ladies.
First Aid Beauty Facial Radiance Overnight Mask, $38, available at Sephora; Wei East Natural Firming Throat and Décolletage Pads, $15.99, available at Wei East; First Aid Beauty Facial Radiance Pads, $30, available at Sephora; Hydroxatone Declatone Neck and Décolleté Complex, $59, available at Ulta.

A plan by Dunkin' Brands (DNKN -0.1%) to grow by 330-360 net new restaurants this year is below the expectations of analysts, but could provide a more measured pace of westward expansion that poses less risk than growing wildly. How big is Dunkin' Brands? Even without a presence in California, the company already serves more coffee than Starbucks in the U.S. at 1.7B cups per year.

Maserati recalls 718 Quattroportes for traction control issue
Maserati only recently started selling the new automatic transmission version of the Quattroporte sedan and now it's being recalled. Apparently there is a problem with the low voltage threshold for the traction control and stability control that causes it to shutdown prematurely when it thinks the battery is low. The software problem evidently doesn't affect the anti-lock brakes, which should continue to function normally. Only 718 cars are affected by the recall that requires a replacement of the electronic control unit, though considering the Quattroporte is a six-figure car, that number likely represents a decent portion of those on the road.

In fact, ZOCALO operates a taqueria itself in Grant Park. But its Decatur and Midtown locations offer more substantial menus. The chili en nogada a stuffed poblano pepper with walnut-cream sauce, garnished with pomegranate seeds is a seasonal favorite. But you should also try anything with the restaurants homemade mole sauce.

"You'll continue to see enforcement against distributors and large-scale growers as the Justice Department has outlined. They will use their limited resources on those groups and not on going after individual users," said Kerlikowske, who is also a former Seattle Police Chief.

Shoppers who buy groceries with cash instead of credit or debit cards are less likely to purchase impulse items, say researchers who followed the shopping habits of 1,000 households over six months. "Cash payments are psychologically more painful than card payments, and this pain of payment can curb the impulsive responses to buy unhealthy food items," the authors say.

A Biltmore Christmas
Four-in-One Collection

October 1896
Charity gazed from one sister to the next, having no idea how hard saying good-bye would be. They huddled together in a tight hug, each face as somber as the next. A lump tightened her throat.
Each of them — the four Bradford sisters — was an interesting combination of Mama and Papa. Charity hated how their images had faded in her mind. She never wanted to forget them, but a dozen years had effectively erased many of the memories. So grateful for the photograph tucked away in her Bible. Otherwise, she might not remember their faces at all anymore.
"What a pathetic sight you are." Mama Elsie wrapped her arms around Charity and Melissa. "You'll only be three miles away, child."
Charity smiled at the woman who'd become like a mother. "I know." She brushed a tear from her cheek. "But I've never spent a day apart from Selma or Melissa, and we see Peggy often. An hour away by foot seems terribly far."
"You don't have to go," Mama Elsie reminded.
"I do." Charity couldn't explain the burning desire within but knew she must leave. She'd been in this orphanage since she was eight. After reaching her adult years, she'd taken a job here to remain close to her sisters, but now at twenty, she couldn't bear these walls any longer. She had to get out and breathe the fresh air, feel the sun on her face, and live life beyond this gray existence.
She stepped back, breaking the hug. "You've been good to us and loved us as your own. Now I must make my own way in this world, and someday perhaps I can care for you." She held Mama Elsie tight and kissed her cheek.
"Ah, Charity, my little dreamer." Mama Elsie returned the kiss. "You've always been the most like your father, a bit of wanderlust in you, child."
No truer words were ever spoken. Charity dreamed of a different life, a life filled with travel, perhaps helping others less fortunate than herself.
She turned to Melissa, taking her into her arms. "I can hardly believe it. My baby sister is fifteen!" She tugged at the cap Melissa wore. Melissa had shoved much of her auburn hair inside the hat. "Someday you'll outgrow your desire to be a boy. You'll meet a man who'll make you want to be every bit a woman."
Charity spoke with authority, though all her knowledge came from books not life.
"Like Mr. Darcy?" Selma teased, and her three sisters giggled.
Charity raised her chin. "Make fun if you will, but I shall one day have my own Mr. Darcy." She'd read Pride and Prejudice so many times that some of the pages had come loose from the binding. "He is the epitome of a man."
In truth, for twenty-year-old Charity, spinsterhood was looking more probable with each passing day, which was one reason she'd taken the job at the Biltmore. Free room and board and a chance to save some of her salary for the future. She wanted more than she'd known as a child.
Charity released Melissa from her long hug and moved to Selma. She and Selma shared the same light brown hair, the color of their mother's, or so Mama Elsie said. Both Selma and Melissa inherited their papa's striking emerald eyes. "You're almost eighteen. It won't be long until you join Peggy and me out in the real world. Prayerfully consider the future God has for you. If you're lucky you'll be like Peggy and know exactly what you love, finding a way to do it each day."
"Baking makes me happy." Peggy said those words often.
"I do not love laundry, but it is a means to an end." Charity smiled to soften the truth of her words. "What that end is, I am not so sure, but God will direct my path. I claim that promise daily."
She and Selma hugged. Selma hung on tightly and sniffled. "I will miss you terribly."
"And I you. Do remember that I have one day off per week and a half day every other Sunday. I will walk home often. I promise." Kissing Selma, she moved on to Peggy.
Charity took Peggy's hand. "If you grow tired of your job at Reynolds House, maybe you could work in the kitchens at Biltmore. Wouldn't it be fun to be there together? Though with our work hours starting at six and ending at nine in the evening, we would not garner much time together. Maybe our two hours off in the afternoons would coincide." Charity shrugged.
"I will give it some thought," Peggy promised. "Though I'm quite content with my present position. I'm treated well."
Charity wrapped her arms around her older sister. "You, my dear sister, would be content anywhere, as long as you found dough to knead and ovens to bake in." They both giggled.
Charity believed Peggy's deep love for kitchen work stemmed from feeling connected to their precious mama. They often had worked together preparing family meals before the Good Lord took Mama and Papa home to be with Him.
"I do wish I had a passion for something that rivaled yours for baking." She stared into light-blue eyes the exact shade as her own. "You have no idea how blessed you are."
"God has a plan for you, and when you find it, your passion will ignite." Peggy's words held promise.
I certainly hope so. She knew God said it. Her head believed it, but her heart feared she'd never discover God's purpose for her.
"I must leave now." Charity let her gaze roam over the four dearest faces in all the world. She picked up the satchel and walked out the door, turning back to face the group who'd followed her outside into the crisp autumn air.
"Wait," Peggy called. "I'll walk with you a ways. I need to get back to work myself. I only came to say good-bye."
She hugged the two girls and Mama Elsie. "I will see you soon," she called to them as she rushed to catch up with Charity. Both looked back and waved once more.
"I feel as if I'm two people," Charity said. "I'm filled with excitement as I embark on this new life; yet I'm sad leaving behind the known and familiar. Did you experience such emotion when you left home?"
"I did," Peggy assured. "But as I said earlier, I'm very pleased with my life and the happiness I feel when I cook."
"Imagine, I shall not only have my own bed, but own room. A private room. Even as a laundress, I will have all the amenities the house has to offer. Indoor plumbing! Can you imagine such a luxury? Forty-three bathrooms in one house."
Peggy giggled. "That's more than the entire village added together. Seems ostentatious when most homes don't even have one, and I would hate to clean forty-three bathrooms."
"Me, too, but would not mind using them, not one bit. When Miss Bohburg hired me, she showed me the servants' quarters. She is Swedish, speaks with a heavy accent, and is in charge of the laundresses." Charity sucked in a breath. She'd been talking so fast, she'd nearly forgotten to breathe.
Excitement built as she shared with her sister and dearest friend. "The rooms are comfortable with nice beds. Mine has a white iron head- and footboard. Covered walls. A wooden rocker, a dresser, even a rug on the floor, making it feel very homey. I shall enjoy my room very much and should I grow lonely, there are twenty other bedrooms on my hall filled with other servants. We will all live together on the fourth floor."
"Maybe someday I shall come for a visit and see for myself."
Charity spun around, raising her eyes to the sky. "Guess what is the very best of all Biltmore has to offer?"
Peggy shrugged and shook her head.
"A library with more than ten thousand books in eight languages!"
"Since you only read and speak English, the other seven languages may prove worthless to you." Peggy poked her in fun. "Are servants allowed to borrow books?"
"We may check them out one at a time! That is more books than the library at Biltmore Village houses."
"And you do love to read!"
"I will keep you informed if I find any that you must read."
"Thank you. What will your job entail?"
"They use handmade French linens in their guest bedrooms and intricately embroidered damask linens on tables and dressers. I will work in brown laundry in the basement. That is where the kitchens are as well." Charity stepped over a rock. "Anyway, they use wooden washboards and after the linens dry, we also press them. From everything I saw, it's an intricate operation. Miss Bohburg says though Biltmore is a private home and the largest in the United States, it is run like a hotel."
"So you will work in the basement and live on the fourth floor. Where does the kitchen staff live?"
"They have rooms in the basement near the kitchen, but all the servants eat together in the servants' dining room, which will give me a chance to meet people. Can you imagine not knowing a single soul?"
"Maybe Mr. Darcy lives there," Peggy teased.
"Mr. Vanderbilt does. He is very rich and very single." Peggy's mouth dropped open. "And strikingly handsome. But surely you don't think he's your Mr. Darcy."
"You never know. I've read about him. He's shy and reserved and loves reading. What a pair we'd make. We could spend quiet evenings in the library together, travel to Europe and New York on holiday."
Peggy's cheeks pinked as Charity shared her deepest dreams. "Your life station is quite different than his. The two of you marrying is not only highly unlikely, it would be frowned upon."
Charity noted the worried expression on her dear sister's face. She laughed. "They are only dreams. I will not count on them coming true, but will do my best to make his acquaintance. Perhaps my beauty will capture him, and he will not be able to chase me from his mind." Charity did not believe she possessed any outer beauty, so all her words were in jest.
"Honestly, being a servant at Biltmore is as close as I'll ever get to wealth. Do you wonder why some are born with everything and some with nothing?"
"I guess the good Lord puts us where He wants us. Perhaps if we had wealth, we'd not have time for Him."
Two gentlemen on horseback passed. They tipped their hats. "Good afternoon, ladies."
Both girls said hello in unison.
"Now that was a fine specimen," Charity whispered and grinned at her sister.
The familiar pink hue returned to Peggy's cheeks. "Which one?"
"Either." Though she favored the one with raven hair and black eyes.
"You, my little sister, must do a better job corralling your thoughts. A woman with men on her mind can only fall into trouble."
Charity enjoyed toying with Peggy. Sometimes she was far too serious. "I only say those things to glean a reaction from you."
Peggy rolled her eyes. "Charity, you have craved adventure since I can remember, and now you embark on the biggest one of your life. I remember when Papa would leave, you'd cry to go with him. You wanted to preach to the Indians, too."
"And here I am at twenty, finally starting my own life. Do you think Mama ever resented Papa being gone so much?"
Peggy shook her head. "Papa preaching the Good News to all who would listen made her time alone with us easy to bear. After all, she had a stake in his ministry, too."
"You and Mama were so close." Charity's quiet words held awe.
"I think in some ways she relied on me, since Papa wasn't there much of the time."
"Isn't it strange that the first time she left us behind to travel with him, they were killed? I wish she'd stayed home. At least we'd have one of them." Charity gazed at her sister, remembering.
"But God did provide Mama Elsie and the orphanage. We have never wanted for a thing, and we were always well loved."
That was all true. "But how nice it might be to own more than two day dresses."
"Two is twice as many as one," Peggy reminded her. "I'd better turn back now. I think this is about the halfway point. You have another mile and a half or so to go."
Charity set down her small suitcase and hugged her sister tight. "I love you."
Peggy smiled and Charity recognized the expression on Peggy's face. She was about to expound some older sister wisdom. "Don't get so caught up in dreamin' that you miss what God has for you in the here and now." With that, Peggy turned and headed back toward Biltmore Village.
Charity watched her walk away, repeating her parting words again and again in her mind. Peggy walked the opposite direction for several minutes, then spun around and waved once. When she was nothing more than a speck on the horizon, Charity pivoted and headed toward her future.
The majestic Blue Ridge Mountains rising in the distance beckoned her onward. She'd read many a travel book, savored the pictures, but had never laid eyes on a place prettier than western North Carolina. No matter where the Lord led, she hoped this area — her favorite place in all the earth — would always be home.
"Thank you, Lord, for the promise of a new beginning and for my job at Biltmore. Even if I hate laundry, I shall cherish every moment of my stay there."CHAPTER 2
Joseph Malachi Claybrook followed his older cousin Elizabeth to the fourth floor observatory.
"You must stay here at the Biltmore while building your own home." Her request sounded more like an order.
"This is your family, not mine," Clay reminded her.
And in truth, Clay knew she and George Vanderbilt were much more distant in relationship than Elizabeth cared to remember. She called him cousin, but actually their grandfathers were cousins.
"I spoke to Cousin George, and he welcomes you. If you recall, his father, your father, and my father were all dear friends back when we were children." Elizabeth sat erect at the edge of a chair, pushing her bustle off to one side. "I shared your plans to build a mansion near the Biltmore estate, and he was most interested. He'd love to sit with you and hear of your plans."
Clay paced to the window. The magnificent view drew his gaze across fields and outbuildings to the mountains in the backdrop. "I'm not building a mansion but a modest home."
Elizabeth gave him a pouty look and poured them each a cup of tea. "Why ever would you settle for modest? Grandfather Claybrook's death left us and our siblings a tidy sum of money. You surely can afford a step or two above modest." Elizabeth liked flaunting the family money. He did not.
She raised a disapproving arched brow. "What sort of parties could one throw in a modest home?"
"You know me...." He settled on the chair across the small table and faced her, picking up the delicate china cup and sipping the warm tea. "I've always been restless in New York City. I hate the crowded feeling it brings. High society and parties leave me discontent."
"You're foolish, Malachi. The world could be your oyster. Why would you throw away your station in life?"
"Because none of that truly matters. I had no peace in my life until I came to North Carolina for a holiday with family. We attended revival meetings with my mother's family." He wandered back to the window. "A tent revival led by The Reverend Abraham Bradford, and he led me to salvation in Jesus Christ that very night. I was thirteen at the time and found peace with Jesus here in the Blue Ridge Mountains. Sadly, that was his last tent meeting. He and his wife were killed the following day in a tragic train wreck." He faced his cousin. "Do you have peace, Elizabeth?"
His question apparently startled her. She stammered, "Frankly, I've never thought about it. But I do have money and can do whatever I want, whenever I care to. That gives me peace."
Clay felt sorry for her. "I remember to this day the good reverend speaking on money being God's tool to use, not just for our comfort, but to help those less fortunate. I plan to invest heavily here in the orphanage in Biltmore Village. It is where Reverend Bradford's children are growing up, and in his honor I wish to give them a fine facility, rather than spending all I have on me."
Elizabeth rolled her eyes. "Waste your share of the family's money, if you like. I shall hope that when you meet with George, he will redirect your thinking on this whole matter."
Clay only smiled. "The matter is settled, Elizabeth. I followed my heart and have returned here, as was my plan since age thirteen, to build a home on the land adjacent to Biltmore."
"Well, no matter. George wishes you to make yourself at home here while you build."
The thought tempted Clay. He'd be much closer to oversee the project than if he stayed at the boardinghouse in the village. Plus he'd heard the kitchen staff here was top-notch.
"Would there be room for my horse in the stables?"
"I'm certain of it."
"Then perhaps I will consider George's most generous offer." He'd left his horse with a stable hand. "If you'll excuse me, I'd like to go down and check on Buck now and get him settled. We've traveled a long journey."
Elizabeth's mouth hung open in a most unbecoming fashion. "You rode from New York?"
Clay again grinned at his snobby cousin. "What better way to see God's beautiful creation?"
As an aristocrat, he could afford hotels and nice stalls for Buck. He didn't really travel like the true pioneers did, with a bedroll and a saddle under his head. He and Buck did spend one night under the stars, but only one.
"I'll see you at dinner," Elizabeth called after him. Sounded more like an order than a request. He shook his head as he started down the grand staircase. She always was a bossy thing.
He exited through the back and found Buck tied to a tree. He led him down toward the stable area. "Do you want to live here with these high-class, pretentious people?" he asked the large buckskin.

All four of my kids loved these! What better review could I give? Even I really liked these, and I'm not a popcorn ball fan. The kids are already talking about the next time we make them and the first batch isn't even gone yet! :)
Great Great Great....everyone loved the chewy texture and the terrific taste. Thank you for such a fantastic recipe.
I made these a bit smaller (I got about 30 in a batch)tinted them in pastel colors, wrapped them individually in plastic wrap, and used them in 2 seperate Easter egg hunts as "popcorn eggs". They were a hit! My 10 year old son and I had a great time making these - our only problem was trying to keep my 2 year old daughter from snatching them up as soon as they were rolled into balls. My husband has requested I make a batch just for him SOON. Thanks for such a fun and tasty recipe.
The first batch I made exactly like the recipe, and they were not as chewy as I preferred, more like regular popcorn balls. So next batch I doubled the marshmallows, and used 1/2 cup corn syrup and about half the powdered sugar. They were harder to work with but even 4 days later were soft and chewy and didn't hurt my teeth
I just made this and I can't believe how good they tasted.
Made these for my daughter's class party. We had so much fun making them and the kids loved them!
I am 47 years old and I think these are the first popcorn balls I have ever made. Made a batch for Halloween and I was impressed with how fast and easy these were to make, not to mention how good they tasted. This will be a great recipe to have the grandkids help with come Christmas time....thanks for sharing!!
These were very good. They were soft, chewy and stringy. I think I didn't quite add enough popcorn-Next time I will add just a little more. My 7 year old had a qreat time helping me make these. Thanks DivineMom5 for submitting this recipe.
I'm not going to rate this because I think I did something wrong. They didn't come out chewy at all - just very crumbly. They cooled down really quickly and were then impossible to shape. Maybe someone can tell me what I could have done wrong....
This was a wonderful recipe. It made 14 popcorn balls for us. This is a definate try again recipe. Everyone loved them even the neighbour, she went out and made them the very next day for herself!! Thanks!

NEW YORK CITY—Had anyone been playing a drinking game with instructions to imbibe when the word Manhattan was uttered during a discussion of the city's investment sales market Thursday morning—drinking coffee, of course—they would have been severely under caffeinated.
That's because the panelists emphasized their interests in Brooklyn and Queens, with a particular focus on up-and-coming areas, and "urban suburban areas," such as Yonkers. Condos, versus multifamily properties, also were in favor during the conversation, which took place at a bi-annual forum put on by Ariel Property Advisors.
"In Brooklyn, the price of land today has forced everyone to look at condos as an alternative to rentals," said Martin Nussbaum, principal, Slate Property Group. "And I'm talking about Brooklyn because in Manhattan, in terms of the price of land, that ship has sailed. There's just nothing available."
The young firm has invested in—and is closely watching—Park Slope, but not the already "mature" portion of the brownstone-lined neighborhood. "We're particularly interested in Fourth avenue," he says. "We have three projects—on First, 10th and 15th streets—totaling about 400 apartments. It's the bookend between Park Slope on one side and Gowanus," which was mentioned by several speakers as an area primed for resurgence. With Whole Foods there, the rezoning that I think is coming and the proximity to Barclays Center, people are banking land there."
Nussbaum continued, "When we first bought these sites, we underwrote as rentals but shifted to convert to condos. When you start to look at the economics of condos of Brooklyn relative to Manhattan, price points have jumped significantly in Manhattan but we haven't seen that pop in Brooklyn because there's not as much product."
Adds Matthew Baron, president, Simon Baron Development, "We are actively looking at condo deals today, because rentals just aren't happening. We're pretty long on Long Island City. If you work in Manhattan and want to live in a doorman, amenitized building, you will pay $50 to $60 per square foot versus $70 to $100 in Manhattan and you're in the city before you can blink. And with the density starting to come in, you're seeing retail come."
RXR is bullish on Long Island City too, especially the office market, noted Seth Pinsky, EVP at the firm. It is under contract to buy the area's Standard Motors Building.
More generally, RXR is laser-focused on outlying areas, he said. "There are a lot of opportunities in urban-suburban markets but no one is looking at them. We're looking at mixed-used, multifamily high rise with some retail in Downtown Yonkers."
Pinsky explained, "What's interesting about a market like Yonkers is that there's been significant investment by the public sector so the infrastructure is in these communities. What's missing is the institutional capital that will allow the neighborhoods to take off."
However, he cautioned, "You hear about 'the next booklyn, queens but these areas should be playing off the strengths they have, like their proximity to the city and the ability to live in a walkable suburb and own a car while being close to major transportation and not far from the city."

Think credit-card debt is a problem? Take a look at the lives ruined through the corporate thug tactics, usurious fees and vicious harassment employed by some of the nation's largest student-loan providers in this shocking exposé from Collinge, founder of StudentLoanJustice.org. The author had a manageable $38,000 in loans-until he missed a single payment. Fees and charges quickly piled up, and his debt mushroomed to more than $100,000. The author reveals that since lenders make far more money from defaulted loans than they do from borrowers in good standing, they go to extraordinary-and illegal-lengths to force borrowers into default. There are currently more than five million defaulted loans on record, and incredibly, student loans are the only type of loan in U.S. history to be nondischargable in bankruptcy. The author exposes the engineers (and profiteers) of this predatory system and urges Congress to restore standard consumer protections to student loans, concluding with a call to arms for progressive changes, refinancing rights and a plethora of practical advice for borrowers. Comprehensive and stirring, this extraordinary book is whistle-blowing at its finest. (Feb.)Copyright © Reed Business Information, a division of Reed Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
The Student Loan Scam: The Most Oppressive Debt in U.S. History and How We Can Fight Backby Alan Collinge
View All Available Formats & Editions
This has occurred in large part due to federal legislation passed since the/i>
The Student Loan Scam is an exposé of the predatory nature of the $85-billion student loan industry. In this in-depth exploration, Collinge argues that student loans have become the most profitable, uncompetitive, and oppressive type of debt in American history.
This has occurred in large part due to federal legislation passed since the mid-1990s that removed standard consumer protections from student loans-and allowed for massive penalties and draconian wealth-extraction mechanisms to collect this inflated debt. High school graduates can no longer put themselves through college for a few thousand dollars in loan debt. Today, the average undergraduate borrower leaves school with more than $20,000 in student loans, and for graduate students the average is a whopping $42,000. For the past twenty years, college tuition has increased at more than double the rate of inflation, with the cost largely shifting to student debt.
Collinge covers the history of student loans, the rise of Sallie Mae, and how universities have profited at the expense of students. The book includes candid and compelling stories from people across the country about how both nonprofit and for-profit student loan companies, aided by poor legislation, have shattered their lives-and livelihoods. With nearly 5 million defaulted loans, this crisis is growing to epic proportions.
The Student Loan Scam takes an unflinching look at this unprecedented and pressing problem, while exposing the powerful organizations and individuals who caused it to happen. Ultimately, Collinge argues for the return of standard consumer protections for student loans, among other pragmatic solutions, in this clarion call for social action.

Longtime McKinney Officer Blasts Police Conduct At Pool Party, Says Department Has A Race Problem
CREDIT: Fox 4 Screenshot
Incidents in Baltimore, Ferguson and elsewhere have pitted police and their allies against the community. But the reaction to a video that exposed the brutal treatment of black teens at a pool party in McKinney, Texas may be different.
Pete Schutle, a former McKinney police officer and "longtime reserve deputy," spoke to Fox4 Dallas and blasted the conduct of Eric Casebolt, the police corporal shown slamming a 15-year-old girl in a swimsuit to the ground.
"I don't care what she was yelling at that officer. Anything would not have justified throwing her to the ground and pushing her down and throwing her face into the concrete like he did," Schutle said.
Schulte also said there was no reason for Casebolt to have drawn his weapon and described Casebolt's reaction to the situation as "crazy." Watch:
According to Schulte, the video indicates that the McKinney police had a race problem. "There is an indication based on watching the video that the white people who were around the officers weren't talked to, they weren't pushed away, they weren't told to get on the ground, they weren't put in handcuffs. The only individuals McKinney police were doing that to were those that were African-American," he said.
A group called Next Generation Action Network is organizing a protest of the McKinney Police on Monday night at 6:30PM.

No joke – over 50% of diet products simple don't work. So what about Unjury? We wanted to know, so we took a look at all of the information we could find to create a complete review. We closely examined the ingredients, side effects, customer service and scientific studies. Moreover, we focused on hundreds of consumer and dieter responses from the internet. Lastly, we condensed all of the facts to give you the important details you need.
What You Need To Know
To start, Unjury is a company that specializes in "premium quality" protein powders, as well as other vitamins. According to the official website, the supplements help with weight-loss and overall health. They claim to have the best taste and highest quality available. Chocolate, vanilla, strawberry sorbet, chicken soup and unflavored options are available. As for the price, a container sells for $22.95, which is 17 servings. You can add the mix to water, milk, coffee and other beverages at any time of the day.
Unjury has been available since 2008 and can be purchased via the official website. A 100% satisfaction guarantee is posted online. Also, single servings of protein powder are for sale, which is convenient, but read on…
Unpleasant Taste – "Be Aware?"
The first thing we noticed about Unjury ingredients was the less than desirable taste. According to our Research Editor, "There are numerous customer complaints posted online concerning the bad flavor and texture of Unjury protein powder. This is something that all dieters should be aware of before spending money."
One dieter commented, "The smell and taste made me very sick, so I refused to use it."
"This stuff tastes terrible," said another user.
Scroll below for one of the best products we've seen over the last year.
Results – "Nothing There"
From what we could gather, there are no clinical studies that show Unjury Protein supplements aid with weight reduction, which means the comments from dieters may not be far off the mark. According to one customer, "Many of the ingredients in this protein raise concerns in me – like the fructose and sucralose."
Another user stated, "It did not create a full feeling as advertised."
After doing plenty of research, we concluded that if a certain facet of a weight-loss supplement or diet program is especially burdensome or problematic (bad taste, lack of clinical backing, too many complaints) the chances of success are minimal. So, if Unjury is not what dieters expected, that could be enough to turn them away.
The Science – "Any Proof?"
Aside from Unjury protein being boasted as high quality on the official website, we could not pin down any real scientific research supporting this supplement for weight-loss. Since we were unable to locate clinical trials, we at DietSpotlight don't feel comfortable suggesting it.
The Bottom Line – Does Unjury Work?
Well ladies and gentlemen, what do we have to say this time? We are always excited to see a good protein supplement that can function as a meal replacement to assist with weight-loss, but there are definitely some customer complaints about Unjury. Not to mention, this formula does not appear to be supported with any clinical research and the taste is not the best.
If you need to get rid of excess body fat faster, we encourage you to go with a diet supplement that is backed by real science, does not cost a fortune and has positive customer reviews.
Among the best products we've seen in 2016 is one called Leptigen. It offers a unique blend of four key ingredients, which are proven in documented clinical studies to help increase fat loss and elevate metabolism. You should also be aware that we can't find any discussion of bad side effects and consumer reviews posted on the internet show people are seeing excellent results.
Also, we love that the makers of the formula behind Leptigen are so confident that they're offering a Special Trial Offer.

Vt Lottery announces million-dollar winner
BERLIN The Vermont Lottery has identified the $1 million winner who purchased the lucky Mega Millions ticket in Berlin.
Irving Lawrence Jr., of Berlin, bought the ticket at the Maplewood Convenience Store. The ticket was worth $250,000, but since Lawrence bought the $1 Megaplier, the total winnings quadrupled.
In a news release Tuesday from the Vermont Lottery, Lawrence said his 10-year-old grandson had recently opened a fortune cookie that said the familys financial situation was going to change.
The lottery said the Lawrence family did not have any immediate plans for the money but were planning a trip or two as well as some home improvements and investments.
The Maplewood Convenience Store will receive $1,000 for selling the winning ticket. Lottery agents receive a 1 percent bonus for selling tickets worth at least $500.MORE IN This Just InBURLINGTON As part of a federal effort to dismantle drug trafficking organizations in Vermont,...

Yeah, I know, you clicked because you were curious about the title... But to answer your question, I'm writing about the following article : http://www.1up.com/do/newsStory?cId=3178534 ... It's talking about how "Other OS Install" is being removed from the upcoming PS3 firmware update, and if you read the comments, you find quite a few people screaming their faces blue about it.
Why? Why is this such an integral feature that people need to scream "PS3! IT ONLY DOES NOTHING!" Fine, so they yanked PS2 backwards compatibility, I can agree that it really sucked to yank this feature, but that was because most of the later Gen consoles (and handhelds) had a history of being backwards compatible... This whole 'Install Other OS' stuff is something I thought was interesting, but ultimately not something the casual player was going to use. I've already talked to a few people that keep repeating the same response of "If I want a different OS, I'll use a laptop or desktop" and I'm kinda curious to see if Sony has any numbers about people who are logged into the PSN with a PS3 that's running a different OS.
I'm also kinda peeved that everyone takes this approach that Sony's out to screw their players. How the hell does that compute? If a company keeps pissing off thier customers, they leave... it's true from everything from video game consoles to clothing... But no, people lose something they haven't made serious use of anyways, and suddenly it's grounds for raising Cain.
People, it's a gimmick that I honestly have heard more buzz about NOW, when it's about to be cut, than BEFORE... You know, from all the people saying that the Other OS support was soo useful and was the second-largest reason for getting a PS3, right after the games. After all, who buys a PS3 to play games?

The Master of Science in Digital Media program at Georgia Tech (formerly known as Information Design and Technology) offers arts and humanities based advanced study in digital media design and critique. Its faculty includes leading theorists and practitioners who approach the design of digital artifacts as a defining creative and intellectual challenge of the 21st century, comparable in its cultural complexity and historical importance to the inventions of the book, the photograph and the moving image. The diverse student body brings a wide range of cultural and disciplinary backgrounds to a studio and seminar based curriculum which prepares them for leadership positions as designers, producers and critical analysts in a changing digital culture.
To graduate with the Master of Science in Digital Media, students must take a minimum of 36 credit hours while meeting the following requirements:
Fall semester of first year
LMC 6310 The Computer as an Expressive Medium (3 hours)
LMC 6313 Principles of Interactive Design (3 hours)Spring Semester of first year
LMC 6399 Discovery and Invention in Digital Media (3 hours)
Fall and Spring, preferably first year
LMC 6650 Project Studio (3 hours; repeatable)
Students may choose from elective courses in DM or related disciplines, such as Architecture, Industrial Design, Cognitive Science, Computing, Management or Policy Studies. If a student chooses to take more than three elective courses outside DM, they must get approval from the DM Director of Graduate Studies. Available courses may be found on the "Courses" page.
All students will take 6 credits of either project (LMC 6800) or thesis (LMC 7000) work.
8-10 week full-time non-credit internship between the first and second year
Although the Institute sets the minimum course load for part-time students at 3 hours per term, the Digital Media Program does not enroll part-time students. Students with GRAs, fellowships, tuition waivers or student visas, and students assigned to the Institute by the armed forces for the purpose of pursuing a degree, are required to be enrolled for a minimum of 12 credit hours of letter grade or Pass/Fail credit per term.Graduate Research Assistants (GRA's) typically enroll in LMC 8998 for 3 hours of audit credit as a means to gain course credit for the GRA. One 3-hour course may be taken on an audit basis with permission of the Director of Graduate Studies, exclusive of any GRA course audit hours. Audit credit does not count toward the degree.
The Georgia Institute of Technology is accredited by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools Commission on Colleges to award baccalaureate, masters, and doctoral degrees. Contact the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools Commission on Colleges at 1866 Southern Lane, Decatur, Georgia 30033-4097, telephone 404-679-4500, http://www.sacscoc.org for questions about the accreditation of the Georgia Institute of Technology.

Contemporary Dutch architecture differs greatly from the buildings of the 17th century golden age, such as the Dutch Anping Fort (Fort Zeelandia) in Tainan City. At that time, buildings made of bricks and stone were mostly geometric, each serving one specific function: military, commercial or medical. By contrast, modern buildings are abstract, asymmetrical, concept-based and unpredictable. More importantly, they are polyvalent, meaning that they can be used for a variety of functions without any adjustment being required to the building itself.

A new study has come up with a clever way to get kids to eat their fruits and veggies. It showed those finicky eaters were more likely to eat healthy snacks if they were in McDonald's wrappers.
The McDonald's logo is leaving an impression on children as young as three years old.
To know it is to love it... If you're a kid.
"I like McDonald's. With the playground and the food," said one child.
McDonald's is a fast-food favorite of millions of children, but the hold this hamburger joint has on kids be stronger than what parents thought.
Researchers had preschoolers ages three to five sample identical McDonald's foods in name-brand and un-marked wrappers.
The finding: overwhelmingly kids said the same foods wrapped in the McDonald's wrappers tasted better.
"These are young kids who can't read don't see signage just recognize McDonald's," said Mac Clous with the Daniel's College of Business at the University of Denver.
Clous said the study shows how powerful brands can be even among young kids, and we can't blame McDonald's he says, it caters to kids in many ways.
But parents beware.
"Be careful what your kids seeing and watching and recognize its making a strong impression," he said.
About 77 percent of the kids surveyed said french fries in a McDonald's wrapper tasted better than the same fries that were unwrapped, and 54 percent said they preferred McDonald's wrapped carrots over ones that were not wrapped.

Nurses, by virtue of the close relationship with patients, are in a unique position to promote sexual health and provide sexual health advice to people in their care. Although nurses espoused the ideals of person-centred and holistic care, evidence from research studies suggested that, for a number of reasons, nurses did not consciously and proactively engage with patients in relation to sexual concerns. In today health-care environment, where patients are seeking information about the impact of illness and treatments on their sexual function, nurses have a responsibility to proactively engage with patients' sexual health concerns in an informed and sensitive manner. The aim of this paper is to provide nurses with guidelines on how they might include this aspect of care within their everyday work.

HEADLIGHT LENS Filed April 19, 1928 Jwoontoc 1 Patented Aug. 27, 1929.
Application filed April 19, 1928. Serial No. 271,266.
This invention relates to lens, but more particularly to automobile headlight lamps, and an object of this invention is to provide simple and eflicient cut-glass lens, which reduce the glare in headlights, but is adapted to produce a bright and satisfactory light for illuminating the road surface in front of and at the sides of the vehicle.
Other objects of the invention will hereinafter appear.
The invention is shown by way of illustration in the accompanying drawing, in which:
Fig. 1 is a front elevation of the lens; and
Fig. 2 is a transverse sectional elevation on the line 2-2 of Fig. 1.
The illustrated embodiment of the invention comprises a lens having a pattern on the inside composed of two figures used in the cut-glass industry, namely, the rolled-over or rounded scallop 1, andbeading cuts 2, there being two sets of rounded scallops, one on each side separated by a central area of beading cuts. The rounded scallops extend vertically of the lens in parallel relation to each other, and the heading cuts extend in a similar manner.
The scallops and beading cuts are preferably cut with stoneshaving water running on them, and in this manner a peculiar translucent, soft grey finish is obtained, which is a perfect medium to soften and mellow the light thrown by the reflector, and yet permit the light to pass freely through the lens. It will be observed that on each side of the rounded scallops are relatively deep grooves 3, cut in the glass.
The soft grey finish is secured on the sides a of these grooves by means of the cutting stone above mentioned, and familiar to those skilled in the glass-cutting trade.
It is well known to every glass cutter that the deeper the cut, the whiter and more silver grey it appears when viewed from the opposite side. As the pattern on the lens is on the inside, the figures at the lens are out sufiiciently deep to produce the silver grey appearance when viewed from the opposite side. This is the result desired.
It has been found impractical to place the scallops and relatively deep cuts horizontally, because in that position the front side of each cut shows a bright band of light, which is undesirable, and would prevent illuminating the road surface at a proper distance in front of the vehicle.
As shown on the drawing, the rounded scallops 1 on opposite sides of the beading cuts 2, are inclined in opposite directions away from the beading cuts. This has been found advantageous, in that it greatly diffuses the light anddirects it sharpl to the sides of the vehicle, and produce a bri hter light than directly in front of the ve icle. It is further to be observed that the rounded scallops 1 are inclined away from the central area increasingly so that they come to the outer edge to, position the apices of the scallops and are disposed approximately at right angles to the curvature of the reflector.
The beading cuts 2 forming the central area of the lens narrow and confine the central light rays of the lens, and illuminate a central portion of the road surface far in advance of the vehicle. Another object in employing the rounded scallops, relatively deep grooves and beading cuts is, that they gather more light than a flat surface. 1
With this lens it has been found that the sharpness of the glare from the reflector.
ing the lass clear in front of the eading cuts in t e central area, or vice versa, and cut and dull the entire outer surface as desired.
It is to be understood that numerous changes in details of construction and arrangement may be effected without departing from the spirit of the invention, especially as defined in the appended claim.
What I claim is:
A cut-glass lenscomprising a glass plate, a pluralit of beading cuts in the central portion 0 such plate, and vertical parallel scallo s on opposite sides of said beading cuts, t e scallops on one side of said beading cuts being inclined in one direction and the scallops on the other side being inclined in the opposite direction, and said plate hav-
