Right-Wing Media Praised GOP For Walking Out On Default Crisis Talks, Now Attack Obama
Research ››› ››› JULIE MILLICAN
Following reports that President Obama and House Majority Leader Eric Cantor (R-VA) had a "blow up" while negotiating solutions to the default crisis, in which Cantor accused Obama of "abruptly walking out" of the talks, right-wing media have attacked Obama as a "petulant child" for allegedly doing so. However, in June, right-wing media praised Cantor and Sen. Jon Kyl (R-AZ) for walking out of default crisis negotiations led by Vice President Joe Biden.
Cantor Accuses Obama Of "Abruptly Walking Out" Of Default Crisis Negotiations
Politico: Obama And Cantor Had A "Blow Up." On July 13, Politico reported:
President Barack Obama abruptly walked out of a stormy debt-limit meeting with congressional leaders Wednesday, a dramatic setback to the already shaky negotiations.
"He shoved back and said 'I'll see you tomorrow' and walked out," House Majority Leader Eric Cantor (R-Va.) told reporters in the Capitol after the meeting.
When Cantor said the two sides were too far apart to get a deal that could pass the House by the Treasury Department's Aug. 2 deadline -- and that he would consider moving a short-term debt-limit increase alongside smaller spending cuts -- Obama began to lecture him.
"Eric, don't call my bluff," the president said, warning Cantor that he would take his case "to the American people." He told Cantor that no other president -- not Ronald Reagan, the president said -- would sit through such negotiations.
Democratic sources dispute Cantor's version of Obama's walk out, but all sides agree that the two had a blow up. The sources described Obama as "impassioned" but said he didn't exactly storm out of the room.
"Cantor's account of tonight's meeting is completely overblown. For someone who knows how to walk out of a meeting, you'd think he'd know it when he saw it," a Democratic aide said. "Cantor rudely interrupted the president three times to advocate for short-term debt ceiling increases while the president was wrapping the meeting. This is just more juvenile behavior from him and Boehner needs to rein him in, and let the grown-ups get to work."
On exiting the room, Obama said that "this confirms the totality of what the American people already believe" about Washington, according to a Democratic official familiar with the negotiations, and that officials are "too focused on positioning and political posturing" to make difficult choices.
Cantor insists he never interrupted the president, and was "deferential," seeking permission to speak. [Politico, 7/13/11]
Right-Wing Media Attacks Obama For Having "Tantrum" And Leaving "In A Huff"
Fox & Friends Compares Incident To Reality Star Flipping Table And Attacking Co-Star. While discussing reports on the dispute between Cantor and Obama on its July 14 show, Fox & Friends repeatedly cited Cantor's claim that Obama "walked out" of the meeting and compared the dispute to an incident on Bravo's reality television show Real Housewives of New Jersey, in which one cast mate, Teresa Giudice, got into an argument with another cast mate, Danielle Staub, which resulted in Giudice flipping a table in a restaurant. Guest co-host Clayton Morris stated of Obama's actions: "This sort of reminds me -- I don't know if you ever saw -- I know you're a big fan, Real Housewives of New [Jersey], this sort of reminds me of that. ... This reminds me of a little testiness that the president may have had." Fox & Friends then aired a clip of the reality show. [Fox News, Fox & Friends, 7/14/11]
Malkin: Obama Had A "Hissy Fit." From the July 14 Fox & Friends:
CLAYTON MORRIS (guest host): Let's bring in syndicated columnist Michelle Malkin this morning, because she's been watching these debt discussions very closely, and Michelle, I guess you have some inside scoops on that heated talk yesterday when it almost came to blows between Eric Cantor and the president. What happened?
MICHELLE MALKIN (Fox News contributor): Well, I wouldn't say I have an inside scoop. In fact, I wish that Obama had abided by his campaign promise to allow cameras into these meetings and negotiations. However, we have had leaks come out from both sides of the aisle about what happened yesterday, and from all accounts, it seems like the president had a, well, hissy fit. It has been described as him storming out of the room or possibly absconding with a miffed look on his face.
But in any case, for grassroots conservatives like me, it is very heartening to see House GOP leaders and in this case, Eric Cantor, standing up and forcing Obama's hand in these matters. We've heard that Obama said, "Don't call my bluff," which to me, is more than a tacit admission that he's been bluffing to the American people, and I think that that's really what needs to be called out here is that the lies and the obfuscation and the demagoguery about the issue. [Fox News, Fox & Friends, 7/14/11]
Ace: Obama Acted "Like A Teenage Girl Whose Parents Just Don't Understand Her" And "Ran Away In A Huff." From Ace of Spades:
Pro tip...don't tell people you're bluffing.
And then like a teenage girl whose parents just don't understand her, he ran away in a huff.
The usual suspects are claiming that Obama didn't run away but even Democrats said he did.
Some Democrats are saying it was Cantor who "rudely" interrupted Obama three times.
Given Obama's history of rudely treating the Supreme Court at the 2010 State of the Union and his obnoxious treatment of Paul Ryan at his entitlement speech, all I can say is if it's true is...good for Cantor. [Ace of Spades, 7/13/11]
Verum Serum: Obama Is "Captain Thin-Skin" Who Got "Cranky And Walked Out On The Meeting." From a July 13 Verum Serum post, titled, "Call His Freaking Bluff":
So the President, aka Captain Thin-skin, got agitated at the debt ceiling negotiations and yelled at Eric Cantor. He reportedly said:
This may bring down my presidency, but I will not yield on this.
Predictably, the spin is not that Obama is cranky and walked out on the meeting, but that Leader Cantor is rude, or got a lecture, or something. All that matters to most of the media is that Obama is always the good guy.
This is why negotiations like this never, ever work out for conservatives. In the end, it really does matter that almost the entire media is on the President's side. It matters that the judgment call about whether the President is said to be cracking or standing on principle will always turn out favorably for him. It matters that the Greek chorus of the left is already damning Cantor for failing to play the President's game. In these close situations, the press is never averse to putting a thumb on the scales. [Verum Serum, 7/13/11]
Drudge: "Drama Obama." From the Drudge Report:
[Drudge Report, 7/14/11]
Hoft: "Obama Picked Up His Toys And Walked Out." From a June 13 Gateway Pundit post by Jim Hoft:
FOX News just reported that Barack Obama walked out "abruptly" on Republicans today during debt talks.
The President wants to raise taxes and Republicans won't let him.
So Obama picked up his toys and walked out.
LEADERSHIP. [GatewayPundit, 7/13/11 emphasis in the original]
RedState: "Our Petulant Child President." From a RedState post titled, "Our Petulant Child President":
This isn't a surprise to anyone who has been playing attention to our child president over the past three years. The Obama administration has been a veritable Mecca for narcissism and incompetence from the time Obama took the oath of office.
Now, for the first time since taking office, Obama is forced to make a decision that entailed personal risk. It isn't a pretty sight. [RedState, 7/13/11]
HotAir: Obama "Threw" A "Tantrum." From HotAir:
Before he threw his tantrum, Obama also reportedly told Republicans today that Friday's the deadline for deciding whether both sides should continue to pursue a real deficit-reduction deal or whether they should shift to looking for some sort of fallback plan a la McConnell to avoid default. So, the good news: The first stage of the debt-ceiling drama will kinda sorta be over in the next 48 hours. The bad news: Three more weeks of the next stage to come, guys. Three. More. Weeks. [HotAir, 7/13/11]
But Right-Wing Media Praised Cantor, Kyl For Previously Walking Out Of Talks
Hannity: "I Like The Fact That Both Cantor And Kyl Walked Away From The Table." From the June 23 broadcast of Fox News' Hannity:
SEAN HANNITY (host): I think it is make or break too. Look, I know you have proposed, you along with Senator Orrin Hatch, cut cap and balance. Very simple. But, you know, and I like the fact that both Cantor and Kyl walked away from the table. Why don't you explain why this is significant? I can't even believe Democrats are still talking about more stimulus, more tax increases, what is your proposal?
SEN. JIM DEMINT (R-SC): Well, it really is pretty simple. It recognizes that the only way that we are ever going to stop this spending addiction in Washington is if we are forced to by the constitution. So, the key part of this is passing a balanced budget amendment to the constitution. And sending it to states to ratify. Sean, they say they can be done. But those who say that are going to keep telling us, we've got to spend more than we are bringing in indefinitely. So, there are three parts to this. We are going to oppose any increase in the debt limit unless we cut spending immediately. Unless we have caps on spending over the out years to bring us to a balanced budget. And unless we pass a constitutional amendment to the -- an amendment to the constitutions to force us to stop the spending. So, we are asking people all over the country to sign up. If you allow me the Web site is cutcapbalancepledge.com. We've got thousands of Americans who signed up. Several senators and congressmen have signed up. Presidential candidates are signing up. And frankly, if anyone who doesn't sign up, really doesn't belong in Washington right now. We can afford anyone else who doesn't understand, we need to balance our budget.
HANNITY: All right. As of this year, 70 percent, our public debt will be 70 percent of GDP. The CBO projects out that in a few short years, less than a decade, it is going to be over 100 percent. Then we're on track to be over 200 percent. In other words, that would be twice the amount that we take in. And Tim Geithner has suggested last week that spending cuts alone are irresponsible. We need quote, "revenue increases." Code word, a tax increase. And this week, the Democrats said, they want another stimulus plan. I mean, how many times do you have to bang your head on the wall before you reach that definition of insanity? Why would they continue to double down on these policies?
DEMINT: Well, Sean, it is amazing. If you look at a graph with the revenues, I mean, we are bringing in about as much money as we ever have. But the spending line goes straight up and continues out over 10 years. We don't have a revenue problem, we've got a spending problem. But if we cut the spending, you would see the revenue begin to grow. As we take the pressure off the private sector. So, Republicans owe it to Americans Sean, to tell them where we stand and what we are willing to fight for. That's what this pledge is about. And I would encourage all your viewers to go, to cutcapbalancepledge.com, sign up and when they put in their zip code, it will tell you who your congressmen and senators are. Hopefully, people will call them, e-mail them, make sure they sign this pledge. I think we need to go to the math. If we can get 41 senators to sign it, we can force them to pass a balanced budget before they get any increase in the debt limit. [Fox News, Hannity, 6/23/11, accessed via Nexis]
Hoft: "Republican Leaders Pulled Out" Because "Dems Insist On Job-Killing Tax Hikes." From a June 23 Gateway Pundit post, titled, "GOP Lawmakers Pull Out of Budget Talks After Dems Insist On Job-Killing Tax Hikes":
Majority Leader Eric Cantor told reporters yesterday:
"Job Creation Is Not a Government Program."
Republican leaders pulled out of the bi-partisan budget talks after democrats [sic] continued to insist on job-killing tax hikes. [Gateway Pundit, 6/23/11 emphasis in original]

Hello All,
This is my first post over here on the AR side. I have a good friend and his son who are new to shooting and want to pick up a basic AR15 for range shooting. I believe that they will doing most of thier shooting at 100yds bench and off hand. They are not into reloading so it will be with commercialy
availble ammo. I am into old milsurp and AK platform stufff so I was not able to really give them any good recomendations on what to buy. Lots of choices out there. So, if any of you could give me some tips on a good basic set up for a complete factory rifle that would make a good starter I would like to pass them on to these guys. It does not need to be tricked out and the best bang for the buck would help keep the intro price ticket as low as possible. Once they get one and start shooting I am sure they will be adding options and looking for diffrent upper assemblies and such. I am not going to warn them about the new addiction they are about to develop.:naughty:

Arsenal Ladies manager Laura Harvey was "delighted" after seeing her team kick off their Women's Champions League campaign with a 4-0 win at FC Bobruichanka.
The Belarus champions made life difficult for the English treble winners and Arsenal had to settle for a slender half-time lead after Ellen White's early goal.
But the visitors showed their class in the second half and ran out comfortable winners thanks to further goals from Jordan Nobbs, Jennifer Beattie and Katie Chapman.
"We dominated throughout without playing particularly well." said Harvey.
"I'm delighted to have a four-goal cushion for the second leg next Wednesday.
"It was a hard ask for the girls to go from a tough Super League season straight into the Champions League, but they've coped well.
"We could have got more goals than we did, but we're still set up nicely for the second leg and I'm confident that we'll go through to the last 16."Copyright 2017 The Arsenal Football Club plc.

Colorful Cooking: Egg strudel
October 23, 2012
Eggs are protein rich and a great food for weight management. One egg has 70 calories and its high protein count helps build and preserve muscle, something especially important as we age. Starting the day off with a healthy breakfast containing eggs will help maintain your weight, increase brain function and keep you full until lunch with good-for-you protein. Eggs contain many vitamins and minerals. They have vitamin D, which helps the body metabolize calcium. The colorful yolks are rich vitamin A, riboflavin, choline, folate, lutein and zeaxanthin. The whites contain niacin, magnesium and potassium. To crack open the benefits of each of these vitamins and minerals, please log onto Colorfulcooking.com/blog and I will descramble their benefits and why they are so good for you. Pregnant women benefit from eating whole eggs. Eggs are packed with B vitamins that are good for momma and baby while pregnant and breast feeding. Choline contributes to fetal brain development and helps prevent birth defects. Plus, eggs are inexpensive, so eat eggs and then you'll have an excuse to buy all those cute little outfits and rattles. Once the baby outgrows the cute outfits, check out the chicken nugget recipe that toddlers to seniors will enjoy. It's easy and healthy served with a side of applesauce, spicy sauce or pear chutney.Tracy Miller adds fruits and veggies to all her meals, log on to Colorfulcooking.com for more recipes.

Council of Europe Anti-Racism Commission to prepare report on Malta
Strasbourg, 11.05.2012 - A delegation of the European Commission against Racism and Intolerance (ECRI) visited Malta from 24 to 27 April 2012 as the first step in the preparation of a monitoring report. During its visit, ECRI´s delegation gathered information on the implementation of the recommendations it made to the authorities in its 2008 report and discussed new issues that have emerged since.
The delegation held meetings in Valletta with representatives of all relevant ministries and other competent authorities, independent experts and NGOs.
Following this visit, ECRI will adopt a report to be published in 2013 in which it will make a fresh set of recommendations on measures to be taken by the authorities to address racism, racial discrimination, xenophobia, antisemitism and intolerance in the country. Among these, three will be revisited in two years' time as part of an interim follow-up procedure.
In its 2008 report, ECRI highlighted the following concerns: the policy of systematic detention of irregular migrants; the lack of free legal aid from the outset of the asylum proceedings; and the authorities' response to cases of racial discrimination in access to places of entertainment, public transport and the private housing market.
ECRI is a human rights body of the Council of Europe, composed of independent experts, which monitors problems of racism, discrimination on grounds of ethnic origin, citizenship, colour, religion and language, as well as xenophobia, antisemitism and intolerance, prepares reports and issues recommendations to member States.

This is my first time on this forum. I'm coming back into teaching after 10 years doing other things. I have decided to go freelance and I will be proposing business english courses to french companies. I do recognise one or two titles from the past but would like to know what teachers could recommend these days as a basic stock of books to start off with. The problem for me is that I live in the middle of nowhere and do not have access to a decent bookshop where I can browse and choose.
Thank you for any bright ideas you may have. I hope to be of help to others in the future once I get my business going !

Posted by Stephen Mann on May 23, 2012
While sitting at a hotel desk at "silly o'clock" this morning preparing for the Forrester I&O Forum in Las Vegas, I saw a Tweet from Ian Aitchison of LANDesk that was an obvious but little realized truth:
"Is the IT industry unique in its obsession with its own possible future demise? The sky is always falling in. #ITRapture"
IMO the average IT organization does appear to be somewhat Chicken Little-like and my response of "I think it is because IT is obsessed with itself :)" started me off …
While we have not necessarily fallen in love with our own reflection, it is difficult to argue that we are not overly obsessed with what WE are doing rather than what the business is doing – as per yesterday's blog "Why Is IT Operations Like Pizza Delivery?"
Consider this exaggerated story
You meet two people at a soiree (that's a posh cocktail party BTW). The first introduces themselves: "Hi, I'm Ian. I work for LANDesk. I do all sorts of product marketing nonsense." The second does the same. Well, I say the same; there's a big difference – "Hi, I'm Stephen. I work in IT."
Posted by Stephen Mann on May 22, 2012
Whilst with a software vendor yesterday I reused a favorite IT service delivery analogy that was inspired by, or was it borrowed from, James Finister at least two years ago. At the Forrester I&O Forum in Las Vegas this Thursday I will use it again when Glenn O'Donnell and I present on "A Mindset Change Is Needed: Support The People, Not The Technology."
To me the analogy is indicative of the fact that despite all of the investments organizations have made in increasing IT service management maturity and IT service delivery we still seem to measure our relative success in terms of IT rather than business outcomes.
So consider this somewhat frivolous analogy: comparing IT operations to pizza delivery operations
The pizza company has a palatial store and has invested in the best catering equipment (read state-of-the-art data center). It employs highly-qualified chefs who take pride in creating culinary masterpieces. When the pizza leaves the store it scores ten out of ten on the internal measurement system. This is, however, measuring at the point of creation rather than the point of consumption.
Now consider the customer view of the pizza when it arrives: it is late, cold, has too much cheese, the wrong toppings (even toppings that are unrecognizable to the customer), and it costs more than the customer expected (and wanted) to pay.
How much of this example can be applied to IT delivery?

Former State Rep.-elect Stacie Laughton, right, the first openly transgender person elected to the New Hampshire legislature, has announced her intention to run in the special election organized to replace her. Laughton is shown as she rings a bell for the Salvation Army Thursday morning in Nashua. Simón Rios/Union Leader Correspondent
Transgender female intends to run for seat she vacated
"This is purely based on what my supporters, my friends, my family have asked me to do," said Laughton, 28, D-Nashua, who was elected in November to represent the city's fourth ward.
Laughton identifies as a transgender female. She resigned before taking the seat after revelations of her criminal background, which included a felony conviction in Laconia that landed her for 4 1/2 months in the county jail.
Ringing a bell for the Salvation Army Thursday morning, Laughton said she decided after resigning to give politics a break. But supporters from around the city and state told her she shouldn't have bowed out.
Meghan Owen, a transgender Green Party candidate who ran unsuccessfully for the U.S. House seat in Texas' 25th district, is one of those supporters, Laughton said.
"She said I shouldn't have given up. It was a major inspiration for the trans community and I should've stuck in there," Laughton said.
Laughton also said she enjoys the support of the mother of a transgender third-grader in Nashua, who made headlines when she switched schools, and the district agreed teachers would address her as a female.
"I told her that I was able to declare and put my name on the ballot; she says, 'You put your name on that ballot, you hear?' That started to get me thinking, do I really want to do this?" Laughton said.
She recognized that she can't necessarily count on the support of Democratic leaders in the state, and she speculated that they probably don't want her to run.
Asked if she stands a chance, Laughton said, "We'll see. I think time will tell."

As such, we also are committed to helping customers maintain a secure network environment, particularly as it relates to the use of multifunction products (MFPs) - those that print, copy, fax and scan. Since all MFPs, regardless of vendor, contain hard drives and software, they require security precautions associated with other network peripherals. We introduced the industry's first office MFP in 1995 and are in the forefront in the development of security features for these systems.
We strongly endorse the internationally recognized ISO 15408 Common Criteria for Information Technology Security Evaluation and have validated more than 50 of our office MFPs to this standard. This gives Xerox one of the industry's broadest arrays of printers and copiers certified to meet our customers' strictest security requirements. Our policy and practice is to have an entire multifunction system evaluated - not just individual features or a security kit.
Although we test extensively for security vulnerabilities in our software before we bring a product to market, we recognize that someone with intent and the requisite knowledge may, at times, find a way around security protections. We encourage people to notify us of any network security concerns, and we move immediately to provide a solution. We develop software patches for vulnerabilities and post them here. In addition, we quickly update our manufacturing process to integrate the security fixes.
We manage security throughout the product life cycle, from design to development, manufacturing, deployment and, ultimately, to disposal. Security functionality is completely integrated at the individual device level and extends seamlessly to the fleet. State-of-the-art encryption is used extensively to protect customer information, both while at rest in the device and in motion to and from the device. The authentication and authorization features are unmatched in their ability to control usage; yet, they also are easy to use. We put special emphasis on the care and handling of machines that are returned to us after lease expiration or otherwise. Disks in these devices are destroyed or completely re-mastered to remove any residual customer information before they are reused.
Ensuring the security of the systems and networks supported by ITO for our clients is paramount. Security solutions can be designed to meet the needs of a specific client and utilize a robust suite of solutions and products to meet those needs. Solutions such as application security, vulnerability management, access and identity management, encryption and user provisioning aid clients in managing their risk. Security is integrated into client solutions from the beginning of the engagement and maintained throughout the life cycle of the contract.

In Focus: Kate Somerville
BT'ers, I must confess: I am a bit of a skincare daredevil. I'll try anything once, and in my profession there is A LOT to try. So when I find myself going back to the same product even after I've run out, I know it's something special. Case in point: Kate Somerville's ExfoliKate. I'm a crazy hoarder of the stuff; I love it that much. So of course I was stoked to go behind the scenes with Kate Somerville herself, "facialist to the stars" and the master behind the brand, to talk about her skincare philosophy, favorite products, and the Nobel Prize (!) winning ingredients in her new Age Arrest Anti-Wrinkle Cream.
Talk to me about your philosophy, "Solutions based skincare" – What does that mean to you? How does your philosophy inform the products you develop?
I battled a variety of skin concerns growing up, so I have always had a strong desire to understand and improve skincare. From my personal experience, and my daily experiences at my Skin Health Clinic, I have seen how transformative skincare can be. When developing my own skincare line I knew I only wanted to offer customized, results-oriented solutions. And so, I set out designing each product in my line after the treatments offered at my Clinic. Working with my team of scientists I took a scientific approach to every formula to ensure the most effective solutions for each skin concern. While developing new treatments I look to the skin concerns that I see on a daily basis at my Clinic, all of my products are developed, tested and proven in my Skin Health Clinic. I focus on creating results without downtime, and providing real solutions for real results.
I read that your new Age Arrest Anti-Wrinkle Cream was created with the help of Nobel Prize winning science. THE Nobel Prize, really? Explain!
Yes! I'm always on the lookout for new, innovative treatments and technologies. Recently I saw that there was an exciting discovery that unlocks the mystery on how we age, and more excitingly, what we can do about it! Scientists discovered that we have telomeres in each of our cells chromosomes that help protect our DNA. Over time telomeres begin to shorten, and when telomeres get critically short, skin cells begin to die and we see the signs of aging. I wanted to be at the forefront of this exciting development on the protection of telomeres. Age Arrest Anti-Wrinkle Cream is the first and only treatment in the world with Telo-5™ Technology, an entirely new way of addressing aging in the skin. Exclusive Telo-5™ Technology is based off the Nobel Prize-winning research, and is designed to combat the comprehensive signs of aging.
Besides the Telo-5™, what other great ingredients are in the cream? How do they promote anti-aging and combat wrinkles?
Working with Telo-5™ Technology are Age Defying Peptides with anti-glycation properties to help reduce the degradation of collagen and improve the appearance of firmness. To help diminish the appearance of wrinkles I included a new bio-ferment Extract of Laminaria Kelp which works synergistically with our skin's natural Hyaluronic Acid.
At my Skin Health Clinic, I have treated many clients with sensitive skin who are also concerned with the signs of aging. Seeing this I wanted to ensure that even sensitive skin would be able to use this cream. Adding a propriety blend of Sea Whip Extract and Algae Plasma provides immediate and lasting soothing for sensitive skin. In fact, Age Arrest Anti-Wrinkle Cream has been clinically tested to be safe for sensitive skin.
Inquiring minds want to know. What Kate Somerville products do YOU use everyday?
My regimen varies based on what my skin needs that day. I always start with cleansing my skin. In the morning, I use ExfoliKate Gentle as my cleanser to provide light exfoliation. I use Dermal Quench Liquid Lift morning and night. I really see a difference if I miss this step because it instantly hydrates and reduces wrinkles! I live in Southern California, so applying a daily sunscreen to protect against the damaging effects of UVA and UVB rays is very important. I love Daily Defector Waterlight Broad Spectrum SPF 50+ to provide a physical-only sunscreen in a lightweight formula. Deep Tissue Repair Cream with Peptide K8™ is my "dream cream". I alternate this rich and hydrating cream with Age Arrest throughout the week because they address aging in different ways. If I need an extra boost of moisture and firmness, I will add a drop of my new Dilo Oil Restorative Treatment.
Our BeautyTalk community is full of budding aestheticians and makeup artists. What advice would you give to ladies just starting out in the business who would like to own their own clinic some day?
I'm very lucky because skincare is more than just my job, it's my calling. I have made it my mission to make people feel confident in their own skin; with this passion work never feels like "working". Of course, my career took a lot of perseverance and dedication. I have heard "no" numerous times. Don't be afraid of hearing "no". If one door closes, then you need to trust that a better opportunity will present itself. When I opened my first Clinic inside a doctor's office, I didn't know anything about running a business and was scared to death! But I overcame this fear and just did it. I was like a sponge, absorbing all that I could in the process. You need to know what you want, not be willing to stop, and ignore criticism.
Over the years, I've seen so many people who were overcome with grief because of their skin challenges. I can't tell you how many people have cried in my chair because they were feeling distraught and powerless. Clients need to know that they can trust you, and this will help you achieve a loyal customer base. Have a broad perspective when treating skin. Skincare is more than just skin deep, it goes further than what you initially see. Consider lifestyle and diet habits. I sit with my clients and tune into their skin and their stories. If a treatment isn't working for them maybe they need to switch their lifestyle habits to see the results.
Strive to offer your clients the best and latest advancements. At my Skin Health Clinic I was–and still am–adamant that we must offer the most innovative and advanced technologies, and the most effective ingredients. Strive to become the authority in your field! GOOD LUCK!

LOVE Kate Somerville products!
I know I can't count how many times I've recommended Kate Somerville's products on here I guess it just take some longer than others to know how truly great it is!
I LOVE Kate Somerville! The products are so great, my favorites are the exfoli kate, somer360 towelettes and Deep Tissue Repair Cream. SO amazing I think everyone needs to try her line!
I've read mixed reviews on the Exfolikate but sounds like folks here love it! What are the pros and cons? I have her 2-in-1 Retinol Night Cream and love it (but you have to be patient and diligent with use)
@ Kimchikween, when I first got a sample of Exfolikate I wasn' too blown out of the water, but it was enough after I gave it a second go and using it PROPERLY did I really see and feel results!
It's not just a typical scrub where you apply, gently massage, then rinse off. It's a scrub that contains physical and chemical exfoliating elements so to get the full results and benefits you have to let it sit on skin after the massaging part.
Exfolikate combines gentle microbeads to give you that nice, physical sensation of "polishing" off dead skin and breaking down dry skin while remaining gentle and not tearing or irritating (compared to using sugar granuals or fruit seed powders). The formula also contains a slew of potent chemical based exfoliants such as papaya, pineapple, pumpkin enzymes plus a slew of glycolic acids (fruit enzymes derived from begamot and orange), lactic acid (milk proteins/enymes), salicylic acid (a beta hydroxy acid that targets balancing oil production while keeping pores purified), and soothing ingredients like honey, aloe, and vitamin E to maintain moisture balance, calm, and ease skin. The Intense formula is the one out of her 3 exfoliators that contains cinnamon, a powerful stimulant while containing anti-oxidants. It can provide a slight tingling or even warming sensation to skin, if you find it too powerful or overwhelming, don't leave it on skin as long, rinse after 30-45 seconds, if it's no issue you can leave it on skin for upwards of 1-2 minutes.
The chemical based exfoliants help brighten and even skin tone, promote healthier cellular regeneration, help to buffer the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, keep pores clarified, and helps break down dead surface skin that physical particles might not remove.
Now when I use it, I can leave it upward to the 2 minutes and my skin actually stays feeling super smooth and refreshed for at least 4 days.
@kimchikween - Also (and I wouldn't recommend this for everyone, but I know a lot of spas do it, and I could rub a sandblaster on my face and it wouldn't really do anything), I use it with my Clarisonic because it's a smooth exfoliator that doesn't have any nuts or anything in it.
@lylysa - That was a very thorough explanation.
@ Candace, thanks! ^_^
I'm really glad I gave that product a second chance!
And to Kimchikween, they also make a Gentle formula that contains soothing botanicals and doesn't have the cinnamon extract if you don't want to chance your skin with it. Their Acne version is also cinnamon free and contains a higher dose of salicylic acid to keep pores clean and French green clay to tackle oil.
@candacebt if you'd like to try the Age Arrest or new Dilo Oil I have them at my desk (enabler alert). Love Kate Somerville, hope to visit her spa one day or have one of the Kate Somerville treatments offered at The Four Seasons in Wailea (Maui)...
I've been smoothing that Dilo Oil on my hair and loooove it, it's not greasy feeling and doesn't leave a film on my strands.
@ Makeupmaven....oh Maui...TAKE ME WITH YOU!!!
@lylysa I need endless $ so I can get all of the Four Seasons treatments both in Wailea and in Chiang Mai...a job testing their services all around the world exists right?
@ Makeupmaven, if so, sign us both up! We'll work hard to test all the treatments and services so we can report back! Ohhhh what hard work!!!
@lylysa & makeupmaven- News flash girls ya'll aren't going without me.
Her products sound amazing - my skin has changed over the last couple of years and become very sensitive. Having to use lots of products that contain no scent, etc. I really miss some of my products that I use to purchase at Sephora. My skin has improved significantly but still very sensitive (I am also have a very fair complexion). I know hormones, age, diet, etc. are all contributing factors. I live in a foreign country but they do have Sephora stores and I have been going religiously to a dermatologist as well. In your opinion would they be safe for me to use. This is for people with sensitive skin or the creator of these amazing sounding products herself.
Why your product is so expencive that not evey one can afford. I think u just care about rich customer but not about average persone. That seems like very much mean and care about money not aboUt product. Be real woman not bussiness all the time.
@ Nancu, whoa...
Though we may all feel differently on a line, the manner at which you approach and share your side would be much better received if not coming across as a personal strike or attack.
You may feel the products in Kate Somerville's line are expensive, but that's why the beauty world has brands and products that cater to consumers of all different budgets, price points, and salaries. I am in no ways considered "rich", nor is the majority of the population in the United States, yet I am still able to enjoy products she launches as well as products from other brands (that are indeed lower in cost and some higher in cost). If you find her products are too expensive for your tastes, then merely do not purchase them, there's no need to seemingly convince others to follow in your views. I mean, none of the other posters nor myself replied with statements or comments that sounded like we were working actively to force everyone to purchase her products or vehemently state her line is the holy grail and end to all end of brands.
Using the lumped phrase "u people" is very snide and disrespectful, we were merely sharing our likes and experiences with the line and products, and for you to come in and make accusations that Kate Somerville is some high-priced line where the creator doesn't care about the average consumer market, only cares about money, and isn't "real" because she has a business to run while also making a separate statement addressing the posters in this thread in a light which might as well be calling us fools for being duped into buying her items is not something taken lightly.
How would you feel if someone claimed a more budget-friendly line you were a fan of as nothing but cheap and not wise for not utilizing higher end ingredients? Please be considerate of how you choose to come across here in Beauty Talk. This is a wonderful place that aims to stay positive and promote healthy interaction, not a place to start conflict, drama, or stir the pot. If you merely don't like the line, just state that you're personally not a fan or that there is no appeal for you, there's no need to rattle off about how you feel Kate Somerville has some personal vendetta against consumers or lay insults to those who are fans of her line.

Dear Lucy
You answered one of my questions before and were very helpful.
Now I need your advice again…
The situation:
My new class is very reticent to speak English aloud - either to themselves, to partners or to the class. How can I change this? In fact, they hardly like to speak at all - in any lesson…
8 students aged 17-20, completing an apprenticeship in technical work.
First year (of 3) covering English, total of 40 hours a year.
No exam, but students are expected to become competent in listening, speaking and reading (less so writing) to deal with English customers, colleagues, business trips, e-mails, technical instructions and the like.
All students have had between 4 and 7 years of English at school.
Next week they will have their second lesson with me.
About me:
Trinity qualified (1 month course) June '07
Freelance in Germany from Sept '07 - Sept '08 (Technical college)
Full time employee at FE Vocational college since Sept '08
Modern language department of 1 (me)
2nd year of teaching Business English
What happens in class (English and, according to my colleagues, other subjects as well):
Absolute minimal talking or noise. In my first lesson I nearly always use a game to get my students back into using English. The game involves asking and answering questions in groups of 3. The game was completed, but the loudest sound was the dice falling on the table top… Everyone was very quiet, and clammed up immediately if I got closer. I tried to monitor from a distance, but even when I pretended to be busy, I couldn't hear them!
Direct questions were never answered, whether in front of the group or one-on-one.
Since I'd very much like to improve their speaking skills, what tips do you have to promote their speaking confidence/speaking in class?
What works and what doesn't? Pre-printed dialogues? Narration?
I'm open to all ideas - likewise, if other readers wish to share their tips, please PM me.
I hope this message is clear enough to understand my dilemma. If not, please ask!
p.s. I have the students again in a week's time - prompt answers preferred!

Had a dream that everyone was either given 4 years or 4 hours to live.
Made me realize that even when our time is clocked that even seconds can be the longest moments of our lives.
We need to stop using time as a crutch, but instead as a tool. Enjoy what we have , cherish what we need and throw away what's in the past. 4 hours, or 4 years, life might seem as short as you make it..but in its entirety it's pretty long. What happens in between is entirely, up to you.
What do you guys think?

Discussion in 'Pistons and NBA' started by theWORM, Jun 19, 2008.
i'm not going to sit here and harp on billups, but his skillset, age, somewhat arrogant/cavalier attitude, and the emergence of stuckey make him fairly expendable in a move to bring back a strong 3/4/5.
I took the time to read all 13 pages of this thread. Some posts I skipped, some I took the time to read in it's entirety. As others, I am kind of on the fence with Chauncey. With a slight lean towards trying to trade him. The pros...The ability to use his strength to post up most point guards.Low TOsAbility to hit clutch free throws (99% of the time)The cons...2 on 1 fast breaks and him stopping at the 3point line to shoot.His inability to contain the "faster, more athletic" PGs of the NBA.Lack of a killer instinct.Confidence vs Cockiness... doing vs saying... walking vs talkingEgo... things have never been the same since he became an All-Star...more so when he was in the MVP race talk.I would not be saddened if he was moved. The only person of the starting 5 I would not like to see moved is Prince (he has shown that he can be a #1 or #2 option in this offense).
Prince is my favorite player, but he has trouble forcing points when we need them. He's way better as an opportunistic scorer and a fast break finisher.
Couldn't agree more (except he isn't my favorite player, actually I am not sure I have one...maybe Maxi).
Bup-Bup isn't the weak link on this team. He may be our best player. Tay is a weak link only in the way we use him. He doesn't get the ball at half court so he can create in the open [half] court. Rip isn't a problem either.
All I can say is be careful what you wish for. I love Chauncey and his game and I for one will miss that big smile and just smooth persona if he got traded somewhere. The Pistons are an incredibly gifted team that has one of the best track records going and we'll see how well they do this year with a new coach. The Piston player that should be traded is Sheed not Chauncey. Sheed is just too much of a distraction and he is a truly gifted athlete but his shenanigans on the court and his constantly running his mouth and high technical count are just irritating. Give me a player that's willing to take the last shot and carry the team on their back any day of the week. It's a rare quality for players to want to step up and either be the hero or the goat and Chauncey is always willing to take on that role. So I'm all for making a trade but not Chauncey.
Question: Is Chauncey's ego larger or smaller than Baron Davis'? http://www.mercurynews.com/breakingnews/ci_9686357 "Given that stalemate, it's possible that Davis, who wants to stay in the Bay Area but was disappointed with the lowball offers from the Warriors, will ask to be dealt. And the team source said that the Detroit Pistons, rebuffed initially in their attempts to pry forward Carmelo Anthony from the Denver Nuggets, are now looking at Davis as a potential target." Supposedly would include Sheed and Al Harrington as well.
If it was Chauncey + filler for Baron straight up, I'd do it in a a second. Don't like Al Harrington, and Chauncey + Sheed for Davis is too much.
Sorry, but I disagree. As far as coaching goes, Flip was the biggest hindrance to this team, but if I'm looking at players to bounce #1 is #1. For all the BS 3's with 18 on the shot clock and standing out at the top of the key, along with running the pick and roll only to fade out for a jumpshot even further away than where he started (nevermind the constant playing for fouls as opposed to finishing the play). Our offensive woes stem primarily from not getting dribble penetration and simply passing the ball around the arc. If moving Chauncey results in us getting any number of players in return who are more apt to drive the lane than stand and shoot, or kick and kick, or however anyone wants to look at it. That will do 10X more to improve this team's play than simply brining in another guy to hoist 25 shots per night.
Billups/ Prince / Max for #2 (Beasley) and Marion (S&T) We are: Stuckey/ MLE or #29 RIP/ Aflalo Marion/ Johnson or #29 Beasley/ Dyce/ Johnson Sheed/ Dyce/ Samb We could ride the Stuckey/ Beasley train for a LONG time
Great point. I would really hate to see us jump on a trade too fast. I want to see how this team looks under Michael Curry before that. Patience is a virtue.
That is an excellent point. We have a new coach and the team will probably have a different vibe this year. Why don't we wait until the season starts to see how it feels? We can see how ready Stuck/ Maxiell/ and Amir are before pulling the trigger on big trade. As it stands, we know that we have a team capable of getting to the ECF. It is also possible that we still have a team capable of winning it all if the coaching change works and the youngsters step up. Unless it is obviously in our favor, I would hold off on a trade until December-ish.
I tend to agree. The problem with our offense and defense is that we have no big man down low. You need someone in the post and it sure is helpful to have someone like Big Ben to play rover down low. Even Kobe would tell you how much easier his job was when Shaq (or Bynum) was there.
Now I am not saying NO changes should be made. The Pistons need to have a great pickup. Throw some effort out to get a guy like Artest (at this point he is worth the risk). If things do not work again then a trade has to be made. I know things have not worked 3 years in a row but I still think the coach will make a difference in that aspect. Usually when a team remains the same it does not have the same success as the previous year. Personally I work my *** off in anything I do. When success starts coming to me though i tend to lose that killer instinct just a little bit. When I have a coach that thinks like me or people that think like me around me I don't have that problem. I think the Pistons have that same problem.
I doubt that. I know what he could tell you though...
AAAhhh!!! You know, I wouldn't put it past Sager in a bad suit to ask Kobe that.
Can't we just package a starter with Maxiell or Amir to get an upgraded starter? Like Sheed + Max for a Bogut. Or something like that? (I guess we'd have to pick up E-Gadz too, eh?)
Seems silly to trade Maxi when he is almost exactly the player we would like to trade for (plays D, rebounds, block shots ...) although it would be nice if Maxi was big enough to play center (especially since he barely big enough to play PF).
Separate names with a comma.

The Canisius baseball team used a four-run third inning, followed by six shutout innings to defeat the University of Akron 4-3 at the Demske Sports Complex on Tuesday afternoon. The Golden Griffins improve to 28-10 overall, extending their overall winning streak to eight games and home winning streak to six games.
Akron scored the first three runs of the game, getting a solo homer to right from Jared Turocy in the second inning and a two-run homer to center from Joey Havrilak in the third inning. The Griffs came back in the bottom of the third with a two-out rally. A solo homer down the left-field line from senior Christian Segar got the Griffs on the board. Freshman Brett Siddall singled to left on a 0-2 pitch and junior Jimmy Luppens reached on a four-pitch walk. Junior Jesse Kelso hit a three-run homer to center to put Canisius up 4-3.
Neither team would score the rest of the way as junior Mike Tolsma threw 4.2 scoreless innings in relief of starter Iannick Remillard. Tolsma allowed two hits and struck out one to improve to 2-0 on the season. Remillard allowed three runs on four hits and struck out two in three innings. Sophomore Aaron Casper got the final four outs of the game to pick up his first career save.
Segar and Kelso were the only Golden Griffins with two hits in the game as Canisius hit into three double plays on the day. The Griffs also had two baserunners throw out attempting to steal, including a strikeout and caught stealing to end the first inning.
Canisius returns to the field on Thursday afternoon, when the Golden Griffins play at Binghamton. First pitch is scheduled for 4 p.m.
Notes: The eight-game winning streak is the longest for the Golden Griffins since a nine-game winning streak during the 2008 season (March 22-April 2)… Only four of the 27 outs recorded by Canisius pitchers left the infield, as the Griffs' staff had 13 groundball outs, three strikeouts and seven pop outs… Freshman Anthony Massicci extended his hitting streak to 12 games with a fourth-inning single… The home run for Segar was the first of his Canisius career… The eight-game winning streak for the Griffs is the fourth-longest active streak in the country... The game was played in 1 hour, 52 minutes.

MAS, thanks for understanding. I apologize if I sounded a bit harsh. Maybe it's because I was a comics geek way before I was a zine geek, and I saw what happened with the comics collectible market in the 90's so I probably over-reacted. By the way, what zine did you do?
how much are the old cometbuses going for on ebay anyways? the only case i know (not that i research this) of old zines being of big value are the old SST zines raymond pettibon made, because he's such a big commodity in the fine art world these days.

If the applicant does not extend the two-year period as requested, the board may deny the applicant's demand for a hearing before a full board or a full three member panel.
(c) If a hearing takes place before a board consisting of an even number of members and they are unable to reach a majority decision, the application shall be reheard before the full board. In any case wherein the hearing takes place before less than the full board, the parties may stipulate that the absent member or members may read or otherwise become familiar with the record and participate in the vote on the decision.

"Thank you for your interest in Springfield Custom services!
Cost to checker the front strap, 30LPI, would be $250
for hand checkering or $140 for machine checkering. (Machine checkering
is rougher than hand checkering and may also have some burrs and overruns
compared to hand checkering.) Your lightweight frame will need to be
refinished after the checkering is done which will add an additional $100 to
the cost of checkering. Return shipping and handling charges when the work
is complete would be $30. Estimated turnaround time would be approx. 8
weeks from receipt of the pistol in our shop for the work.

Angela and Carlino were married at The Lodge at Sonoma on September 28. "The outdoor lawn has an amazing rock wall around it that we knew would make a great background for the wedding ceremony," Angela said. "And the stone building, where we had the reception, had incredible exposed ceiling beams hung with lanterns." Besides the bride's Maggie Sottero lace wedding gown with an illusion neckline, two of her favorite details were the flowers and entertainment! Bouquets were filled with orange and purple roses, dahlias, and orchids, and many guests raved about the mixture of music that was played. "We loved the entire day," she said. "Having all of our family and friends there, the toasts, the food, and the music. It was a living dream. I want to go back and do it again!"

Obama WH gave orders in 2011 not to enforce law against Occupy protestors
posted at 12:52 pm on August 8, 2012 by Howard Portnoy
In an interview published in the August edition of the magazine Black Enterprise, President Obama was asked to respond to criticism that his administration hasn't done enough to support black businesses. His answer in part was "I'm not the president of black America. I'm the president of the United States of America."
The statement is obviously intended to recall his groundbreaking speech at the 2004 Democratic convention in which he declared that "there is not a liberal America and a conservative America—there is the United States of America. There is not a Black America and a White America and Latino America and Asian America—there's the United States of America."
Those words have proven hollow to those who have opposed the president's efforts to "remake America" and especially the Tea Party, whom he accused of racial bias in early 2011, calling the movement part of a "subterranean agenda" designed to stir up anger and anxiety at having a black president.
The Occupy movement, in contrast, at least at first, struck the president as all that was good and right about America and the freedom to dissent. On Oct. 6, 2011, he publicly acknowledged that the protesters' message "expresses frustrations American people feel." A week later, he went "all in," formally aligning himself with the movement. Senior campaign adviser David Plouffe announced in an interview:
We intend to make [the anti-Wall Street anger] one of the central elements of the campaign next year. One of the main elements of the contrast will be that the president passed Wall Street reform and our opponent and the other party want to repeal it.
I'm pretty confident 12 months from now, as people make the decision about who to go vote for, the gut check is going to be about, 'Who would make decisions more about helping my life than Wall Street?'
Ultimately, the Occupiers made it clear that the Obama administration was part of the problem, not the solution, and the White House withdrew its support. But not, it turns out, before the administration had ordered officials with the General Services Administration (GSA) to "stand down" and not arrest Occupy Portland protestors who may have broken the law.
Judicial Watch reports having obtained records from the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) via a Nov. 11, 2011 Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request that include internal DHS correspondence. An e-mail exchange between DHS/National Protection and Programs Directorate Chief of Staff Caitlin Durkovich and GSA Public Buildings Service Commissioner Robert Peck (since fired) specifically address Occupy Portland protests taking place on federal property in Portland. On Nov. 6, Durkovich wrote:
I am sorry to be emailing you on a Sunday night, but wanted to let you know our Press Shop has received a couple of calls from Portland media outlets about a group of 11 protesters who again set up camp at Terry Shrunk Plaza in Portland last night. They have chained themselves to a large drum filled with concrete. GSA controls the permits and has asked FPS [Federal Protective Services] not to enforce the curfew at park and the prohibition on overnight encampments. Reporters have asked if we will be arresting the protestors as FPS did last week.
Our FPS Commander in Portland says they are standing down and following GSA's request to only intervene if there is a threat to public safety.
Peck responded:
Caitlin: yes, that is our position; it's been vetted with our Administrator and Michael Robertson, our chief of staff, and we have communicated with the WH [White House], which has afforded us the discretion to fashion our approach to Occupy issues…The arrests last week were carried out despite our request that the protesters be allowed to remain and to camp overnight…
The Washington Examiner reports that the Obama White House denied on multiple occasions during last year's Occupy protests that anyone in the Obama administration had given aid or encouragement to the demonstrators.
Writes Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton:
We now have a new GSA scandal … that involves the Obama White House. These documents clearly show that federal agencies colluded with the Obama White House to allow the Occupy Wall Street protestors to violate the law with impunity. These documents tell us that the GSA and DHS can't be relied upon to protect federal workers or property.

Wendy Garland, a New Jersey woman with disabilities, died last week after her primary caregivers, her mother and sister, abused and neglected her. Helene Hutchinson and Florence Garland have been charged "with neglect of an elderly or disabled person." Garland, who had cerebral palsy and Down syndrome, had not received medical attention in over two years. She lived and died in a dilapidated, overheated room filled with roaches, trash and feces.
Her family waited more than two hours after discovery of her body to call 911. In an attempt to mask their abuse, her mother, sister, brother-in-law, and nephew moved furniture and carried her from the 100-degree room she died in to the front door of the air-conditioned first floor. The house was a grim scene:
Police say both the first and second floors were infested with roaches, flying insects and rotting food...The toilet on the second floor was broken and full of feces, there was a bucket of urine on the floor in the bathroom and the shower area was filled with garbage, police said. In the victim's bedroom, the ceiling had collapsed and beams were visible.Wendy Garland's death is evidence of the danger in assuming that related caretakers have their family member's best interest in mind. Able-privileged caretakers, particularly those who are kin to the person they care for, are given latitude where it's not deserved. Their "sacrifices" earn them the benefit of the doubt, and someone else's disability becomes their "burden". Caregivers and family of PWD are often centralized in conversations about disability, and some shift those discussions to themselves. This is ableist. While family members and caretakers can be both critiqued and praised in disability discourse, the focus should always be on the person with disabilities.
The death of Wendy Garland is horrific. Her abuse went unnoticed, unchecked because of ableism: societal devaluation of people with disabilities and misplaced trust in abled family members. Garland's death is a direct result of abuse on the part of her caregivers, the people in her life that some want to canonize and position as her selfless saviors. Parents, partners, siblings and other folks taking care of persons with disabilities can be wonderful, but they are not necessarily helpful: they can hinder, they can neglect, they can abuse, they can hurt, they can kill.

as predicted --
now that the 'crunch' is in full swing --
the mall ninjas who thought all "steel cased ammo is crap" have changed their tune.
i wounder how many colts who are 'built for battle" and not a range toy are getting their gas ports opened up to run that crap wolf/tula right now?
you don't see the ninjas pulling out that "god chart" much anymore either , or saying they shoot 40,000 rounds a year on training--LOL
an el-cheapo SMG barrel and model 1 bolt can probably shoot all the ammo they got and then some and not even be worn--
i think our colt m4s got their barrels pulled @ around 6,000-7,000 rounds mostly due to throat erosion . we had quite a few of those MPI colt "god bolts" snap too.
at that time it seemed that colt was making the bolts extra hard to meet some obscure 50,000 round wear rule for m193. that didn't go over all that well in the m4s firing mode "0"--
so we rotated bolts and barrels like you change oil in your PU.
don't ever tell a ninja that though or you'll be banned for 'dissing' the god chart--LOL!
one mystery about the old ar/m16 to me is why some of them will run with that small .063 gas port and low pressure wold/tula ammo and others with the exact same set up need a bit more port.
my lmt 16" needed a tiny bit more, the LMT 14.5" no problem with the .063, i don't know what the DSA 14.5" has--but whatever it is --it sure runs good.
all the ninjas want you to know that if you open up a colt .063 port to a .078 to get it to run--you have just 'bubbaed up" that colt and are now an outcast--LOL

Statement by David Kupfer, MD
The promise of the science of mental disorders is great. In the future, we hope to be able to identify disorders using biological and genetic markers that provide precise diagnoses that can be delivered with complete reliability and validity. Yet this promise, which we have anticipated since the 1970s, remains disappointingly distant. We've been telling patients for several decades that we are waiting for biomarkers. We're still waiting. In the absence of such major discoveries, it is clinical experience and evidence, as well as growing empirical research, that have advanced our understanding of disorders such as autism spectrum disorder, bipolar disorder, and schizophrenia.
This progress will soon be recognized in the fifth edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-5). The new manual, due for release later this month, represents the strongest system currently available for classifying disorders. It reflects the progress that we have made in several important areas:

Green Bay Looks to Clinch League Title Outright at Detroit
By Justin Grones (@JustinGrones)
GREEN BAY, Wis. (GreenBayPhoenix.com) - After clinching at least a share of a 15th consecutive Horizon League regular season title in a win over Valparaiso on Saturday, the Green Bay women's basketball team (22-2, 12-0 HL) will look to clinch the championship outright with a road battle at Detroit (14-10, 7-5 HL) on Thursday night at 6 p.m CST. The game pits the top two home teams in the Horizon League, with both the Phoenix and Titans boasting undefeated marks on their respective home courts.
The Phoenix extended its winning streak to 17 games, tied for the fifth-longest regular season winning streak in program history, with an 80-38 victory over Valparaiso in the PinkZone game on Saturday. All 11 players saw time on the court and scored, including two new career highs. Redshirt sophomore Megan Lukan (Barrie, Ontario) led the way with a career-high 22 points on 8-13 shooting, including a 4-8 mark from long range. Before Saturday's game, Lukan hadn't made a three since the last matchup with Valparaiso on Jan. 26 and had just four total three's for the season. In addition to her high-percentage shooting, Lukan single-handedly outscored Valparaiso 16-13 in the first half.
SCOUTING DETROIT: Detroit is the only other Horizon League team with a perfect home record, boasting a 9-0 mark this season and a 15-0 overall streak with six wins from last season added on. The Titans have dropped two straight after getting swept out of the Windy City with losses at Loyola and at UIC. Before that trip, Detroit had won seven of its previous eight contests.
STOPPING SHAREETA, ROUND TWO: Green Bay will look to lock down post threat Shareeta Brown for the second time this season in Thursday's matchup. Brown leads the Horizon League in field goal percentage with a 57.2 mark and is second in the conference in scoring at 21.3 points per game. In the first meeting this season, Brown entered the contest as the second-leading scorer in the nation at 26.0 points per game, but the Phoenix held her to just eight points on 2-4 shooting in 30 minutes of action.
DOUBLED UP: Green Bay opened Horizon League play on Jan. 8 in dominating fashion in the win over Detroit at the Kress Center. In the 62-31 outing, the Phoenix defense was paced by senior Adrian Ritchie (De Pere, Wis.) who had a career-high seven steals. The Titans' 31 points is the lowest total by an opponent this season and also ranks in the top five for lowest opponent scoring totals against Green Bay in the last 30 years.
ON A ROLL IN THE POLLS: Green Bay moved up four spots in this week's AP Top 25 poll, coming in at No. 21 after spending last week at No. 25. The Phoenix also entered the USA Today Coaches Poll this week with a No. 23 ranking after serving as the top vote-receiving team in last week's edition. The team also stayed at No. 2 with two first-place votes in the College Insider Mid-Major Top 25 Poll. Detroit is also featured in that poll, receiving one vote.
TOURNAMENT TALK: Regardless of the rest of the season's outcome, with Saturday's win over Valparaiso Green Bay guaranteed it will host the 2013 Horizon League Tournament. In its five-year history, the Kress Center has hosted every conference tournament.
RANGER DANGER: Redshirt junior Breannah Ranger continued to make her case for Sixth Player of the Year with her second double-double of the season and of her career against Valparaiso. In the win over the Crusaders, Ranger put up 11 points and grabbed 10 rebounds, just one shy of her career-high 11 boards set earlier this season. In addition to averaging 7.7 points and a tied team-high 4.9 rebounds per game, Ranger is second in the Horizon League with a 55.0 field goal percentage.
NOTABLE CONNECTIONS: Detroit head coach Autumn Rademacher is very familiar with Green Bay, having played at Detroit against the Phoenix from 1993-97. During her senior season, she was a part of the Detroit team that upset Green Bay in the 1997 MCC Tournament Championship game to advance to the NCAA Tournament. After seven seasons at Western Michigan, Rademacher was an assistant coach on the Green Bay bench from 2003-04 until 2007-08 before accepting her current position in the Motor City.
FOLLOW IT LIVE: Fans can listen live as Bruce VandenPlas will have the call on The Fan 107.5 FM, 1400 AM and TheFan1075.com. Live stats and live video on the Horizon League Network will also be available. Be sure to follow @GBPhoenixWBB and @JustinGrones on Twitter for updates throughout the game.
NEXT ON THE SCHEDULE: Green Bay will round out the weekend with a road trip to Chicago to battle UIC on Saturday at 7 p.m. The Phoenix had a record day against the Flames on Feb. 2 with a 99-53 win at home, breaking the program record for assists in a game with 34 and scoring the sixth-most points in a single game in program history.

As we reported a couple months ago, the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus will both go on sale on September 19th in the US, UK, Australia, Canada, France, Germany, Hong Kong, Japan, Puerto Rico, and Singapore. That's the day you'll be able to go to an Apple Store, Best Buy, Wal-Mart, or your local wireless service carrier and buy an iPhone 6 (as long as it's in stock.) If you'd rather have it sent to you so that you can avoid the lines, you can pre-order the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus starting this Friday, September 12th.

iPhone 6 Plus: 5.5-inch Retina HD display, optical image stabilization, bigger battery for $299
Posted by Andru Edwards - Categories: Apple, Cell Phones, Corporate News, Handhelds
The iPhone 6 wasn't the only larger smartphone that Apple announced today at the We Wish We Could Say More event—meet the iPhone 6 Plus. Featuring a 5.5-inch 1080p Retina HD display, the iPhone 6 Plus is the biggest smartphone that Apple has released to date. It's got a display that's a full 1.5-inches larger than that of the iPhone 5s. Be sure to check out the details on the iPhone 6, since the iPhone 6 Plus has a fairly similar feature set. However, there are a few key differences other than size.
The iPhone 6 Plus display has the same 16x9 aspect ratio as the iPhone 6, 5s, and 5c, but packs in more pixels due to the 1920x1080 resolution. The result is a 401 pixel-per-inch density, resulting in 185% more pixels than the iPhone 5s. That means it'll be a lot sharper. It's also thinner at 7.1 millimeters, compared to 7.6 for the iPhone 5s.

Apple has developed the new A8 processor to power the device, bringing with it a 25% speed bost. A new M8 coprocessor can now measure distance and steps climbed thanks, in part, to a barometer. It can also decipher between running and cycling to better track your movements. The iPhone 6 measure in as just 6.9mm thin, which makes it the thinnest device Apple has ever made.
LTE is updated to 150 Mbps, and it supports 20 LTE bands, which is the most in any smartphone. VoLTE is also built-in, which will allow voice call data over an LTE network. 802.11ac Wi-Fi finally comes to the iPhone 6, giving it a 3x faster wireless connection.

Posted by Andru Edwards - Categories: Apple, Hot Deals, Music
At the end of Apple's We Wish We Could Say More event, U2 hit the stage to play their new song "The Miracle (Of Joey Ramone)" for the crowd. At the end of the performance, though, it was announced that U2 had a new album called Songs of Innocence. After a bit of banter that saw Bono telling Tim Cook that he thought it would be cool if Apple distributed the album to all iTunes subscribers, Tim Cook said it was a deal. The end result? Anyone with an Apple iTunes account gets a copy of Songs of Innocence completely free. Even better, you don't even have to redeem the offer. If you have an iTunes account, you'll find that the album has already been placed in your account under Purchases.
The offer is available in 119 countries for iTunes and Beats Music users until October 13th, when the album will be sold for a fee, and show up in other stores as well.

Posted by Andru Edwards - Categories: Apple, Wearables, Corporate News
After months of rumors, the iWatch has been made official, and it's called the Apple Watch. For the first time since the death of Steve Jobs, Tim Cook mentioned that he had "One more thing…" to talk about after unveiling the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus.

A video, narrated by Jony Ive, explained how the watch works.

iOS 8 will be released on September 17
Posted by Andru Edwards - Categories: Apple, Cell Phones, Handhelds, Software
During today's We Wish We Could Say More event, Apple announced that iOS 8 would be released to consumers as a free update on September 17th. If you're curious if your device supports the next Apple mobile operating system, check out the image above which details all of the iOS device it will run on. iOS 8 brings with it a host of new features, including:
- Photos: The new Photos app will allow you to access your entire photo collection with the iCloud Photo Library. New editing tools also make it easy to make your shots look even better, with all edits syncing back to the cloud and available on all your other devices.
- Messages: In iOS 8, Messages will allow you to easily send voice messages, quick selfies, and videos to your contacts. Easily share your location and see the location of friends you've chosen to share that info with as well.
- Keyboard: There are a few notable improvements to the keyboard in iOS 8. First, Apple now has a predictive typing system that learns the way you talk, offering up a quicker typing experience. Even more exciting, though, is that you will be able to download third-party keyboards from the App Store that will take the place of Apple's keyboard entirely. If you've been waiting for Swype on iPhone, it's almost here.
- Interactive Notifications: Notifications are interactive in iOS 8. For example, you can reply to a message right from the notification without having to switch over to the Messages app, or accept/decline a calendar invite right from the dropdown. Notifications are also interactive on the Lock screen as well.
- Family Sharing: Family Sharing makes it easy for up to six people in your family to share each other's iTunes, iBooks, and App Store purchases. Whenever one person buys a new song, movie, or app, everybody gets access to that content. Accounts must all share the same credit card number to be added to a family account. Members of a Family Sharing account also get access to a family Photo Stream, calendar, Reminders list, and can share location.
- iCloud Drive: Apple is finally allowing access to data stored on iCloud with the iCloud Drive feature. You can use iCloud as a storage folder for anything you'd like to put there, and can add storage space by upgrading to a higher tier.
- Health: Fitness tracking is one of the pillar features in iOS 8
- Continuity: Continuity will allow your Apple devices to talk to each other over Bluetooth. Start an email on your Mac, and continue it on your iPhone. Start messaging someone on your Apple Watch, and continue on your iPhone 6 Plus.
Apple also released the iOS 8 GM seed today.
