10 Acne Products That Will Take You Back to High School
10 Acne Products That Will Take You Back to High School
Acne is one commonality that we all likely encountered in our high school years, so it seems logical we even used the same iconic spot-clearing products, too. Some of these brands might look different on the outside now, but deep down they're relatively the same pimple-blasting formulas we reached for way back when. Remember 10 tried-and-true products that helped you get through puberty unscathed when you click through our nostalgic roundup. But the best part is that they're still available and just as good at clearing up breakouts now that you're an adult.

Any future move to provide another internet cable out of New Zealand will probably need a "significant proportion" of local funding to succeed, says Pacific Fibre co-founder Rod Drury.
Pacific Fibre planned to lay a 12,950km fibre cable between Auckland, Sydney and Los Angeles.
The project would have cost an estimated $400 million.
But on Wednesday, the company announced it had failed to raise enough capital to go ahead.
Drury said yesterday that during negotiations the company discovered a "whole lot of political stuff", including tensions between the United States and China over investment.
Security issues over Chinese involvement in telecommunications infrastructure made headlines this year when it was revealed the Australian Government had banned Huawei from tendering for its national broadband network.
Asked if the United States had security concerns over potential Chinese involvement in Pacific Fibre, Drury replied:
"What I will say is you start connecting cables and those are the sort of national concerns that all governments would have.
"But that's why it was important we had a significant portion of New Zealand funding into the project. If you can't get New Zealand funding you have to look offshore and then you start getting more into these sort of issues.
"It would have been much easier if we had the cable largely New Zealand funded ... but we didn't."
Drury said it was unlikely another private company would get a cable project like Pacific Fibre's off the ground.
While he was not advocating Government funding for the cable project, he had hoped other funding vehicles in New Zealand would have got on board.
"A frustrating thing about being in a small country is you can't get everyone together and make it work," he said.
One possible investor could have been the $19 billion New Zealand Superannuation Fund.
But a fund representative this week said it undertook extensive due diligence on Pacific Fibre, but was unable to "gain enough confidence" in the opportunity.
Although Chinese-backed company Axin flagged its intentions last year to build a 3000km cable between Australia and New Zealand, it has not since revealed any significant progress.
Pacific Fibre chairman Sam Morgan said on Wednesday there was "plenty of talk but very little walk" from other players who spoke about a cable project but his team were the only ones who "put their money where their mouth is".

Car News
Diesel Cars Gaining Acceptance Among Shoppers
- Acceptance of diesel cars improving with U.S. drivers
- New study says one-third of shoppers will consider diesel
- Most shoppers call fuel economy a major reason
Nearly one-third of shoppers say they'll consider a diesel car when it comes time to buy. That's the latest from a new study by the National Association for Convenience and Fuel Retailing, which surveyed 1,200 Americans who buy gasoline.
According to the study, a whopping 31 percent of respondents said they'd consider buying a diesel-powered car. That's a big number for the U.S. market, which has chosen gasoline cars in favor of diesel power for decades.
The study says the number-one reason such a high percentage of buyers would consider diesel fuel is better gas mileage. Nearly 60 percent of those saying they would consider a diesel car listed fuel economy as a reason. Other top reasons included that diesels are better for the environment, and the perception that they're more reliable than gas-powered cars.
A growing number of shoppers seem to be embracing diesel even though it offers a few downsides. Namely, diesel models are typically more expensive than their gas counterparts. And diesel fuel tends to be more expensive than regular gasoline by around 25 cents on average.
Still, shoppers looking for a diesel-powered car will find an increasing number available on today's market. Recent diesel additions include the Mercedes GLK250 BlueTEC and the Chevrolet Cruze. Other popular diesel models include several from Volkswagen, such as the Jetta and Passat. BMW also sells a popular diesel-powered version of its X5, dubbed the xDrive35d.
Some reasons shoppers cite for choosing a diesel car aren't necessarily accurate. For example, while older diesels were more reliable than gas models, many researchers find little measurable difference today. Also, while diesel vehicles use less fuel than gas models, they're often responsible for more emissions.
But as shoppers improve their outlook on diesel cars, it's likely more automakers will add diesel engines to their U.S. lineups.
What it means to you: As more shoppers embrace diesel, look for more diesel gas stations -- and more diesel vehicles to choose from.

HALLE, Germany (AP)—Rafael Nadal pulled out of the Gerry Weber Open on Saturday to rest ahead of Wimbledon.
Nadal said the grueling physical demands of recent weeks, including the French Open, led to his decision to withdraw from the grass-court event.
The 11-time Grand Slam winner plays fellow Spaniard David Ferrer in Sunday's French Open final, after coming through a ferocious five-set encounter with top-ranked Novak Djokovic in Friday's semifinal.
''After these past months and all the matches I have been able to play my doctors have recommended to rest after Roland Garros,'' said Nadal, whose place will be taken by wild card Mischa Zverev of Germany.
Nadal's withdrawal leaves Roger Federer as the favorite to win his sixth title at the Halle tournament, which begins Monday.
Nadal said he would begin grass-court preparations a few days after his eighth French Open final.
''We all know the transition is not easy and after these past months I have to approach this in a different way,'' the 27-year-old Nadal said.
Nadal played in Halle last year despite suffering knee problems. He was knocked out in the last-16 by beaten finalist Philipp Kohlschreiber and was eventually forced to take a long injury lay-off after Wimbledon.
''It is a shame and regrettable that Rafael cannot come, but I can understand his decision,'' said tournament director Ralf Weber. ''I know that it was not an easy one to take, but the player's health comes first.''

ROCK ISLAND, Ill. – The GC squad captured their second top ten finish of 2011 on Friday as they raced 9th place in Rock Island, Ill.
Pitted against 33 teams and 403 total runners, Greenville was led by Senior Xavier Ortiz who crossed the Saukie Golf Course timeline with a personal best effort of 25:55.7. Ortiz claimed the top spot for the Panthers and finished 29th overall in the contest.
Other notables included sophomore Bryant Simpson and senior Coree Woltering who finished in the two and three spots for Greenville in Friday's race. Simpson completed the course in a time of 26:22.2 while Woltering crossed seconds later at 26:25.0.
The contest included six SLIAC member institutions with Principia outpacing Greenville for the top spot within the 33-team invitational by a close point margin of 255 to 298. Webster University posted the next closest team total within the conference, finishing with 706 points for 24th place. Westminster, Fontbonne, and Eureka followed in 25th, 26th, and 30th to round out the SLIAC spread.
Greenville College men's cross country will again take the course Saturday, October 8 as they travel to Terre Haute, Ind. to race in the Rose-Hulman Gibson Family Invitational at 11:00 am.

A lot of mobile shoppers were making merry with wine on Thanksgiving weekend. Mobile commerce sales were up 100% year over year for the weekend at e-retailer Wine.com Inc., and 22% of total sales for the period ranging from Thanksgiving Day through Cyber Monday came through Wine.com's m-commerce site, its iPad app and through customers shopping the Wine.com e-commerce site on a tablet.
Tablet sales made up about 90% of mobile sales, with two-thirds of tablet sales coming through the browser and one-third stemming from the app. Wine.com is expecting a surge in tablet sales after consumers open their presents Christmas morning.
"With the arrival of the iPad mini, I expect sales through tablets will grow as more people get the mini for Christmas," says Rich Bergsund, CEO. "When the iPad came out, the first Christmas there were iPads there was a big surge in business for the weekend after Christmas. It's about convenience. Computers became ubiquitous, but then phones and tablets are even more present. People are ordering more on the weekends and after hours. If you're like me you have a laptop at work, an iPad at home, and a smartphone with you everywhere you go—there's not a time when you can't be shopping. We're seeing that with our customers, who are running multiple devices."
The mobile conversion rate for the holiday weekend is up 15% year over year at Wine.com, No. 110 in the Internet Retailer Mobile 400. Bergsund declines to give the exact figure but says the tablet conversion rate is similar to that for desktop computers and that the smartphone rate is less than half of the conversion rate for tablets and desktops. He gives partial credit for the conversion lift to a promotion they launched immediately before the holiday weekend—a 30-day free trial of Wine.com's Stewardship program, which offers free shipping for all orders for $49 a year.
"We've had the program for a few years now and regular customers really love it," Bergsund says. "Thousands of people have signed up for the free trial. That's a big number for us, and people in that program are people who buy a lot of wine. The feedback we get is they really like the convenience of it, they don't have to worry about the cost of shipping, they can buy one bottle or two cases, it's convenient and a great value."
Mobile traffic for the holiday weekend was up 100% year over year. Half of mobile traffic came from smartphones and half from tablets. Bergsund says much of the smartphone traffic is consumers researching wine; the vast majority of purchasing occurs on a tablet.
And, as is the case with a great many retailers, consumers using Apple Inc. devices—the iPhone, the iPad and the iPod Touch—are the most lucrative mobile shoppers for Wine.com. More than 90% of mobile sales stem from an Apple device.
"It's about our demographic," Bergsund explains. "The Wine.com demographic is an affluent and educated group, and that's the sweet spot for mobile devices Apple sells. They charge a premium and they are worth it, and those consumers are our demographic. Plus, the user interface is easier on Apple than other platforms; most mobile sites work better on an iPhone than on other alternatives."
While 22% of sales were mobile on Thanksgiving weekend, Wine.com's regular mobile sales percentage measures in the high teens, Bergsund says. He predicts in 2013 that regular number will increase to 25%.
"I'm hoping people buy a lot of iPad minis," he says. "A driver of mobile purchasing is when these new devices come out that everyone loves; they are fun and engaging and people take them everywhere, and they work great with e-commerce sites."

State Rep. Susan Wismer, (D-Britton) announced today that she will begin collecting signatures for a campaign for the Democratic nomination for Governor this week.
"South Dakotans need and deserve a state government that works for them," said Wismer. "It's time we had a Governor that stands up for middle-class South Dakotans, invests in education, and brings a fresh voice to the conversation, instead of the machine that has controlled Pierre for a generation. That's the kind of leader I intend to be."
Wismer is a third term Democratic legislator from Britton. She is a small business owner; she and her sister have operated a tax and bookkeeping practice for over 25 years.
She and her husband Mark, also a Britton native, are the parents of three children. Her family has a long history in South Dakota politics. Her grandfather Art Jones was a rural electric leader and State Senator; her uncle Curt Jones was a State Senator from 1970-1986.
Wismer has served on Appropriations Committee since the beginning of her legislative service. She is a current member of Government Operations and Audit Committee, and has served on the Legislative Redistricting, Legislative Planning, and various summer study committees. She is a representative to the Midwestern Higher Education Compact and on the planning committee for the International Legislators Conference. She is an alumnus of the Midwestern Council of State Government's Bowhay Legislative Leadership Development Program. She was a member of the first class of South Dakota Ag and Rural Leadership.
Wismer is a 1978 graduate of Augustana College in Sioux Falls, with a major in English and a minor in Journalism, and passed the CPA exam in 1982. In her community she has served as secretary treasurer to the Britton Economic Development Corporation and Britton Area Hospice for over 20 years. She is a member of First Presbyterian Church of Britton and has participated on several Presbytery committees.
"I owe the voters notice that they will have a choice in the race for Governor this spring in the primary and in the fall. I will continue the important work of being a state legislator through the course of this year's session. I would appreciate your patience as I work through the legislative session, along with my busy tax season at my office. I owe my constituents and my clients my full attention until April 15, after which I will turn my attention to the campaign full-time."
An official statewide kickoff tour will be announced in the coming months.

Teddy Bear Skin Rugs by Agustina Woodgate
Here is repurposing at it's "bear-y" best (ahem, sorry) — intricately patterned rugs hand-sewn from used teddy bears by artist Agustina Woodgate. There is something both wonderful, hilarious, and ever-so-slightly disturbing about the idea of cherished toys finding new life as fuzzy floor coverings.
The Miami-based artist, originally from Argentina, likens the works to rugs from the oriental tradition adding a sense of gravity to their playful kitsch:
The rugs not only reference the personal histories of the toy's owners, but investigate the rug as an object organizing and displaying memories and lineages. In Eastern Cultures, the oriental rug centralizes the living space in pattern, operating beyond utility to depict the spiritual and mental world in woven form.
Visit Agustina Woodgate's website to see more of her work.

Detroit judge: I'll keep Rosa Parks case
Detroit judge: I'll keep Rosa Parks case
DETROIT (AP) — A judge accused of misconduct in a dispute over the estate of Rosa Parks says he won't step aside from the case.
Wayne County Probate Judge Freddie Burton Jr. says an attorney who wants him disqualified has offered nothing but "insulting" and "malicious" allegations. His response was filed last week.
Steven G. Cohen has accused Burton of conspiring with two lawyers to put the estate of the civil rights pioneer in debt. Parks left almost all her estate to the Rosa and Raymond Parks Institute, which Cohen represents. When Parks' nieces and nephews challenged the estate, the judge appointed two lawyers as fiduciaries.
The Michigan Supreme Court reversed some of Burton's decisions in December, including the appointments of fiduciaries.
Cohen wants the chief judge of Probate Court to disqualify Burton.

Wayne State University researcher to evaluate success of text message diabetes intervention
DETROIT — A Wayne State University researcher has received a combined $36,000 in grants from the Southeastern Michigan Health Association and Greater Cincinnati HealthBridge, Inc. to help determine the success of a Type 2 diabetes intervention program currently being piloted in southeast Michigan, greater Cincinnati and New Orleans.
In "Txt4health: A Program Evaluation," Lorraine Buis, Ph.D., assistant professor of nursing specializing in adult health, will focus on txt4Health, a 14-week text message-based behavioral intervention targeting Type 2 diabetes and its risks.
Txt4health is a joint venture of the American Diabetes Association; the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention; the Office of the National Coordinator for Health Information Technology (ONC); Voxiva, an interactive mobile health services company; and the Southeast Michigan Beacon Community, Greater Cincinnati Beacon Community and Crescent City Beacon Community in New Orleans.
The entities piloting the free program are all part of the Beacon Community Cooperative Agreement Program, which comprises 17 diverse communities nationwide in which an ONC grant initiative is helping to build and strengthen health information technology infrastructure that supports clinical quality improvement and population health goals.
Txt4health delivers tailored messages to users based on their individual risk for developing Type 2 diabetes. It includes several different approaches to promoting lifestyle and behavioral changes, including physical activity self-monitoring, physical activity and weight goal setting, tailored physical activity and nutrition messages, and motivational messaging.
The first part of Buis's evaluation will involve a retrospective analysis of system data to understand participant usage of txt4health. The second will consist of a participant survey to understand user perceptions and satisfaction with the program.
"This two-phased evaluation will help us understand how a public health text message program focusing on type 2 diabetes is perceived by users within the community," Buis said. "In addition, this evaluation will shed light on how individuals use an automated text message-based intervention."
Wayne State University is one of the nation's pre-eminent public research universities in an urban setting. Through its multidisciplinary approach to research and education, and its ongoing collaboration with government, industry and other institutions, the university seeks to enhance economic growth and improve the quality of life in the city of Detroit, state of Michigan and throughout the world.

On Sunday May 9th at 12:30pm Talking Pictures Festival at the Hinman Theater at the Hotel Orrington presents a special screening of the powerful documentary about the International Criminal Court entitled The Reckoning: The Battle for the International Criminal Court Admission is $10. For more information about the film festival go to http://www.talkingpicturesfestival.org/Home.html
SUNDAY, MAY 9 • HINMAN THEATER at HOTEL ORRINGTON EVANSTON, IL 12:30 PM • HINMAN THEATER at HOTEL ORRINGTON THE RECKONING: THE BATTLE FOR THE INTERNATIONAL CRIMINAL COURT USA I 93 min I Director: Pamela Yates
Launched in 2002, the International Criminal Court (ICC), is the first international tribunal of its kind: it is a permanent criminal court that prosecutes individuals – no matter how powerful – for crimes against humanity, war crimes, and genocide. THE RECKONING follows dynamic and charismatic prosecutor Luis Moreno Ocampo and his dedicated staff as they build their cases against genocidal criminals. Facing multiple challenges, these prosecutors go after warlords, military brass and heads of state while convincing the international community to muster the political will to prosecute those who commit unspeakable crimes. THE RECKONING paints a fascinating and often heartening account of the pursuit of global justice from this tiny court in the Hague.
"The Reckoning is a riveting look at the ICC's efforts to bring to justice the perpetrators of some of the world's worst crimes while those offenses are still taking place." – DeWane Wickham, USA Today

Q: For Fall 2009, can I still use my Visa card to make payments to the Office of the Bursar for my tuition charges?
A: Yes. As long as your account balance is paid in full prior to November 5, 2009. Fall tuition payments made after this date will be made via TouchNet PayPath and will be assessed the 2.75% convenience fee.
Q: After November 5, 2009, how can I make payments to the Office of the Bursar without incurring the additional 2.75% charge?
A: Online electronic check payments will remain available at no additional charge. In addition, personal checks, money orders and cash payments will be accepted in person at the cashier's office.
* Please note that service fees are not considered to as part of a student's educational expenses, that is, service fees are not permitted to be added to a student's budget for consideration of additional financial aid.
Q: Will I be able to use Visa for misc. payments made to the university such as parking services, book store purchases, etc.
A: The university will continue to accept visa payments for service not related to your student account. Please note that students electing to have their parking permit charged to their student account will not be able to use Visa cards to pay this fee.

NEW DELHI, India - Days before Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's visit to India, authorities in India are said to have cancelled a $500 million Israel anti-tank missile deal.
An Israeli arms company, Rafael Advanced Defence Systems said the Indian Defence Ministry cancelled the $500 million Spike missile deal.
The company said the cancellation of the anti-tank missile order came before the contract was signed, arguing that India nixed the deal despite the company having fulfilled all its requirements.
Ishai David, a spokesman for the Rafael Advance Defence Systems said, "Rafael has now received an official notification from Indias Ministry of Defence concerning the cancellation of the Spike deal. It should be emphasised that the cancellation was made prior to the signing of the contract and despite Rafaels compliance with all the demands."
The company added in its statement, "Rafael regrets the decision and remains committed to cooperating with the Indian Ministry of Defence and to its strategy of continuing to work in India, an important market, as it has for more than two decades, to provide India with the most advanced and innovative systems."
However, on Tuesday, India announced that it would buy 131 Barak surface-to-air missiles from Rafael Advanced Defence Systems in a $70 million deal.
The Barak missiles, also made by Rafael Advanced Defence Systems, are to be used for India's first aircraft carrier which is currently under construction.
Over the last few years, Israel has become a major defence supplier to India, selling an average of $1 billion of military equipment each year.
In mid-January, Netanyahu will lead a business delegation to India on a four-day trip.
India is the centrepiece of Netanyahu's initiative to cultivate ties with developing nations that have traditionally supported the Palestinians.
However, last month, India favoured the Palestinians by voting in support of a UN resolution denouncing the Trump administration's recognition of Jerusalem as Israel's capital.
Since Prime Minister Narendra Modi came to power in 2014, India, which has long-standing territorial disputes with neighbours China and Pakistan, has signed several big-ticket defence deals.
However, it has been moving away from relying on traditional ally Russia for military hardware.
In April last year, the two countries signed a military deal worth nearly $2 billion which includes the supply over several years of medium-range surface-to-air missiles, launchers and communications technology.
So far, however, it is unclear whether the deal announced on Tuesday was part of that deal.
Meanwhile, the Indian defence ministry added that it had approved the purchase of 240 bombs from Russia's JSC Rosonboron Exports for $188 million.
It said in a statement, "This procurement will address the deficiency of precision-guided munitions in the IAF (Indian Air Force) arsenal, besides enhancing the offensive capabilities of the IAF."

By Metal Allison
I feel like riding a really fast horse to get some chicken so I'm going to Louisville. Actually I am going to a convention, but there was always time for chicken!
I would describe the scenery on the ride in, however, my cab driver was driving so fast my face was smeared up against the window sliding from left to right with every jerk of the wheel. The only thing I could make out was billboard after billboard telling me to, "Ask Gary!" Whoever the hell this Gary dude was, he's got the answers apparently.
I arrive at the hotel to the most quick and painless check in ever! "You mean I don't have to call Crash, Kent and John in yet another frustrated panic that I will be sleeping in my booth or the hotel lobby?" My room was actually in my name and ready! Finally! I knew with patience I would one day experience this effortless check in I have heard about. I happily take my key and the elevator up to my room.
Seems a little odd to me that there was still a pile of towels and a room service tray outside of the door, but I'm sure housekeeping just got a little behind. Okay, so it also struck me as a little odd that my non-smoking room reeks of cigarette smoke, with the sound of something similar to a garbage disposal full of ill-tempered badgers coming from behind the door. I continued on, opened the door to a pitch-black room where I was greeted with a man yelling, "Who the hell is it?!" Oh come on! I knew that check in was too easy.
I was escorted to my booth by Troy Timpel, which happened to be next to Philadelphia Eddie's booth. "She ain't naked!" Eddie yells. "But she is pretty." Chris responds "Ehhh! How many of these you need until you start taking your clothes off?" he said this while pointing to his bar set up in his booth of Malibu and orange juice and the ingredients to make buttery nipple shots.
He was the icing on the cake of colorful characters I encountered that weekend, including my new best friend for the weekend Captain Crazy Pants. He managed to visit my booth once and hour all weekend winking, blowing kisses, spouting out random nonsensical statements, doing little dances and at the end of the night he was sporting a light-up jester hat and American Flag sunglasses.
I also saw him taking line drawings from booths after people had packed up. When I told him that was stealing, he responded with, "I ain't stealing if they leave it! It's like finding a TV in the alley!" Christ!
Across from me was Tattoo Charlie's with one of the sweetest banners I have ever seen. Wizards, babes, lightening, saber-toothed tiger whaaaaat! Next to this was Charlie's Historic Tattoo museum booth, which held a ton of really cool stuff including a photo that Rollo took for Esquire magazine 30-plus years ago.
I did my usual rounds to see who all was there. Timeless Tattoo, Acme Tattoo and 5 Star Tattoo were there to name a few. I also had the chance to hang out with Hawk from Hawk's Tattoo. He is one of my favorite people to talk to at conventions when I get to see him. He even brought me tacos one night!
My friends texted me to tell me they were coming to the convention and if I have any "recommendations" as far as who they should get tattooed by. "Yes, but it will costs you a nugget meal from Chick-fil-A!"
Once they arrived with my nuggets (per our agreement) I suggested he hit up Jay Fish from Acme Ink Tattoos or Dennis Pase from 5 Star Tattoo. They went and got tattooed while I enjoyed my nuggets. Everybody's happy!
I attempted to experience the "nightlife" my first night there on 4th Street as suggested by the gift shop clerk. I figured this had to be good. I walked outside the hotel and I was hit by a closed off street similar to that of my home state Florida.
Tons of neon and over sized guitar, horrible radio-play music blaring, stacks of chain restaurants and groups of people in baseball hats, frosty lipstick and those neon tube necklaces yelling, "Dude, I'm so wasted!" I was back in my room in under 10 minutes. I did make it out the following night with my friends to Cohoot's.
The bar was cool, and a lot like the bars I frequent back home in Chicago. I had a song sung to me about my butt. Oddly, this was not the first, or even the second time this has happened. I also hit the punching game and got "anemic" as my score. Whatever, you should see my choke slam!
On that note, "Watch yo-self Louisville!" Thanks for everything including that hibernating bear that yelled at me, that stupid guitar, the sweet song about my butt and those delicious little nugs.

If you have your heart set on an 8-inch Samsung Galaxy Note, your wait may finally be over. Rumors about an 8-inch Samsung Galaxy Note tablet have been floating around the web for a few month, but now we have official confirmation from Samsung's JK Shin that the tablet will make an appearance at Mobile World Congress next month. No other details about the Samsung Galaxy Note 8 were revealed, but if the rumors hold true, we could be looking at a decently spec'd tablet sporting a 1.6GHz quad-core Exynos processor, a 1280 x 800 pixel 8-inch display, 5 and 1.3-megapixel cameras, 2GB of RAM and up to 32GB of internal storage running on Android 4.1.2.
While we know most the specs and the expected launch date, we still don't have a clue what the Samsung Galaxy Note 8 will look like. The Note 10.1 wasn't necessarily an ugly tablet, but it certainly isn't as eye catching at the Nexus 10. Let's hope Samsung has its design team working overtime to come up with something that will grab as much attention as Apple's iPad Mini.

The Birth: In the multi colored primordial slime of preexistence, the creatures that share the ecosphere are awakened by a new, different creature. This human like creature has decided to himself drown, be swallowed whole and let his lungs fill up with this rainbow colored substance. For to be reborn, you must let several yourself get completely swamped in the irrelevant, it says to himself. It's only when the creature is fully underneath everything does it realize its true purpose, it's reason for creating in his own habitat. The creature's realization has made something else grow within the slime…a new organic form of breathing, growing, colored energy. This new energy will bloom with multi colored petals, buds, stalks and leaves. But sadly It will wither and die like everything else. The creature subconsciously made this plant to be used as a blueprint for generations to come, in that everything is created, blossoms and then perishes.

"The President has stripped his events of anyone who might disagree with him, which is completely un-American. It is dangerous for a President to be the bubble boy of American politics. But it might explain why the President can't admit the problems of people without jobs, without health care, without prescription drugs, or trying to put their kids through college. He doesn't know about them because he refuses to even see them."
I couldn't agree with that comment more...today, or when it was uttered, about then-President George W. Bush and his campaign, by then-DNC chairman Terry McAuliffe. The incident that inspired that comment happened in Medford, Ore., eight years ago this month, when three women were barred from a Bush rally for wearing T-shirts that read "Protect Our Civil Liberties." And that was not an isolated event. Even after Bush was re-elected, in early 2005, the White House barred certain folksfrom a rally in Fargo, N.D., because they had the audacity to belong to a local chapter of (heh) Democracy for America. (The link is from Fox News, so it must be true.)
I remember this era well because it was in 2004 that I started blogging and in February 2005 -- the same month as the fiasco in Fargo -- that I launched Attytood. And frankly, these kind of clampdowns on free speech are exactly the thing that radicalized me after two decades of struggling, and often succeeding, to be a journalist with the opinion side of his brain castrated (is that a mixed metaphor?). I started feeling differently not long after 9/11 -- starting with Ari Fleischer telling me I had to watch what I said and with Congress passing the Patriot Act to find out what was in it, and amped up by a magnitude of 100 when the Iraq War lies started flowing. There were things happening in this country that "he said, she said" journalism was powerless to stop. And these restrictions on the ability of Americans to speak their mind freely sickened me more than just about anything.
The other day, I got that sickening feeling (no relation to this) all over again. This time, it was from reading news accounts right here in Philadelphia that a 17-year-old high school student had been mocked and riduculed by her geometry teacher for wearing a Romney-Ryan T-shirt, who told her to remove the shirt and who likened the GOP ticket to the KKK.
My first thought that this was every bit as bad as the Bush-era campaign rally incidents that I had written about seven or eight years ago. But then I realized that in some ways this is worse. Those earlier abuses happened at political events, where, unfortunately, we've learned to expect tomfoolery. This was coming from a teacher at a school -- where kids are supposed to learn how to formulate their own opinions on the world...and then express them. Where young people should learn (despite what they say deep in the heart of Texas) critical thinking. And where they also find out that the First Amendment can indeed make America exceptional...if we can keep it.
My initial reaction over the weekend also was that not only should the teacher -- who's tried very badly to explain this as a joke gone awry -- apologize but that Mayor Nutter should add this as a stop on what feels like a non-stop, city-wide apology tour. Those things happened more or less, but they did not send a strong enough message about free speech and public education. I headlined this blog post "Why the Romney T-shirt teacher doesn't need to apologize"...followed by an asterisk.
The asterisk stand for...because Lynette Gaymon should be fired, for turning a public classroom into a no-free-speech zone. End of story.
I was reminded of the incident 10 days ago at Philadelphia's Puerto Rican Day Parade where a cop who'd been squirted by water slapped and knocked down a woman who, to make matters even worse, seemed to have nothing to do with the incident. The police commissioner looked at the video, thought about it for a day or two...and moved to fire the offending lieutenant. Well, Lynette Gaymon slapped the First Amendment and knocked it to the ground. Short of physical violence or sexual abuse, it's hard to imagine worse behavior from a teacher.
Which is why an apology should be too little and too late to save her job.

Over the past two years, corn growers in eastern North Carolina have noticed fertility problems on sandy soils. Agronomists are at a loss to pin-point one specific reason. A common factor is that growth concerns tend to show up on lighter, sandier soils rather than on heavier soils.
Growers can limit the effects of fertility problems on sandy soils by testing and applying nutrients according to soil type, says Bob Edwards, regional agronomist with the North Carolina Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services.
Growth problems often occur on sandy soils for several reasons. Fertility certainly changes more readily in sandy soils, especially when there is excessive rain. Besides fertility, pre-emergence herbicide stress may also be involved. Nematodes such as stubby root and others may also be a factor and hardpans that limit root development can also form on some of these soils under no-till conditions.
In 2003, cool weather early in the growing season stunted growth of crops on lighter-textured soils. This year, excessive rain had the same effect.
"If we have stress early in the season about the time corn's germinating and beginning to grow — whether it be a lot of rain or cold weather — then corn on this lighter-textured soil doesn't recover," Edwards says. Tests generally show a low pH with marginal calcium and low magnesium. "This is happening to growers who are on top of their management."
Luby Measley, who manages Parrott Farms in Kinston, N.C., has seen the problem in sandy fields.
"The last two years we've had problems with either cold weather or rain," Measley says. "This year, we had two heavy rains as the corn was trying to come up. I had to replant some of the corn acres."
Measley came back and applied sulfate of potash magnesia to help correct the problem. That particular field had average yields of 92 bushels per acre, although judging from the stalk size the fertility concerns for the next season are justified. As is his annual practice, Measley will do a soil test.
"I suggest to growers to take their soils samples by soil type," Edwards says.
David Hardy, chief of the soil testing section at the North Carolina Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services, agrees.
"Growers know their soils better than anybody else," Hardy says. "Because fertility on sandy soils can change significantly from year to year, growers need to be concentrating on management units whether it is by intensive grid sampling or by splitting up the fields based on soil types."
The Parrott Farm used GPS to soil test and apply nutrients about four years ago, Measley says. They won't use GPS every year, but will soil test each fall.
Corn and soybean production on the farm is no-till. Edwards points out that soil samples on no-till land need to be taken at four inches, instead of eight inches. "When you till, you mix the lime deeper and so you take the sample at eight inches," Edwards says. "If you take the sample down to eight inches with no-till, you will be over-applying lime and could tie up micronutrients." Edwards also recommends early sampling so that lime can be applied well in advance of the crop being planted. He also says this is more important in no-till than conventional-tillage systems.
"Since lime does not readily move into the soil with water, with chronic soil pH problems, it is more beneficial to incorporate lime to better manage fertility," Hardy says.
Hardy says lime is still one of the best investments growers can make. Since magnesium is subject to leaching on sandy soils, dolomitic lime that contains calcium and magnesium is usually encouraged.
"The number one fertility problem we see year in and year out is low soil pH," Hardy says. "This growing season, about 40 percent of the samples where in-season growth concerns with corn were found had soil pHs below 5.5."

Andrew Joseph Dikken has petitioned to enter a guilty plea on two counts of second-degree murder, according to a motion filed at the Yellow Medicine County Courthouse Oct. 16.
Andrew Joseph Dikken has petitioned to enter a guilty plea on two counts of second-degree murder, according to a motion filed at the Yellow Medicine County Courthouse Oct. 16.
Dikken, 28, of Ren-ville, is charged with two counts of second-de-gree murder for the Sept. 2 shootings of Kara Monson, 26, of Granite Falls, and Chris Panitzke, 28, of Red-wood Falls.
Each second-degree murder count carries a maximum possible sentence of up to 40 years in prison.
According to a complaint report, Panitzke told police officers Dikken gained entry to the Monson household, turned on a light and opened fire on the pair as they lay sleeping. Monson died at the scene, while Panitzke passed several days later – Sept. 8.
Dikken remains in custody at the Yellow Medicine County Jail where he is being held on $3 million bail.
According to the petition, the minimum jail sentence the court must impose on Dikken is 632 months or 52-and-a-half years imprisonment.
The sentence, as per judicial protocol, must be served consecutively, 306 months on the first conviction and 326 on the second.
Dikken would have to spend a minimum of 35 years behind bars, even if he were able to reduce his prison time by one-third through good behavior, according to the West Central Tribune.
As a result, Dikken would not be eligible for release under a supervised probation program until the age of 63.
The petition also states the prosecution is unwilling to discuss a reduced sentence in exchange for Dikken's guilty plea. There has also been no indication as to whether the prosecution would seek to convene a grand jury, which would be required to bring about first-degree murder indictment and subsequent life sentence. A plea hearing has been scheduled for Wednesday, Oct. 30 at 8:15 a.m. at the Yellow Medicine County Courthouse.

Highway 40 Re-opening: Final Predictions
Well, the wait is over. St. Louis's two year traffic nightmare is about to come to an end.
What's that? It wasn't really that bad? Oh, I guess you're right, but you wouldn't have known that from reading this blog – dead since the original shutdown began in January of 2008. The original predictions of mayhem (including some of my own) thankfully didn't come true. Yet, as the highway plans to re-open, I thought it would be a good time to embarrass myself some more by issuing some final predictions.
Highway 40 traffic will flow more smoothly
There are a lot of good improvements accompanying the Highway 40 reconstruction, most notably on the mainline highway itself. The ramp from eastbound 40 to northbound I-170 has been a welcome relief for West Country drivers headed to Clayton or Washington University. Fewer — yet longer — on-ramps will eliminate congestion. Back in 2007, I predicted better traffic for Highway 40, and today's Post-Dispatch article confirms it. I look forward to seeing it.
So, the mainline highway design is the winner, but what about the crossing arterials?
Brentwood and Hanley intersections will suffer
A big reason for the anticipated improved traffic flow at Highway 40 and I-170 is the merging of the Brentwood and Hanley exits into one. From either direction, there's just one off-ramp and one on-ramp for both Brentwood and Hanley combined.
This is great for flow on Highway 40, but it also increases the amount of traffic going through the lights at Brentwood and Hanley. Exiting eastbound 40 for Hanley? You'll have to stop first at Brentwood. On Hanley wanting to get to westbound 40? Again, plan on a stop at Brentwood. Same story if you flip eastbound/westbound and Hanley/Brentwood.
See the plans in all their details on MoDOT's site.
Fortunately, Brentwood will have less traffic due to the ramp from eastbound 40 to northbound I-170. Yet, all told, I think you'll see more traffic and probably more congestion at the Brentwood and Hanley intersections. Keep an eye here over the next few weeks — first to witness all the confusion and complaints over the merged exits, and then to see if traffic flows well at these intersections.
Lindbergh intersection at risk for gridlock
You might think that the Lindbergh intersection is old news. After all, it's been open nearly a year without any significant issues. However, traffic exiting Highway 40 to Lindbergh has been lower than it will be after the re-opening, and I'm a little worried.
As you know, the new interchange at Lindbergh introduced a new stoplight for the Single Point Urban Interchange (SPUI). This light is awfully close to the Lindbergh-Clayton intersection (see image), and — prior to construction — southbound Lindbergh traffic would routinely back up under the Highway 40 overpass. If that were to happen with the new interchange, it could block traffic from getting through the interchange at all, causing gridlock. Additionally, those drivers going from eastbound Highway 40 to southbound Lindbergh have no merge lane, just a yield sign. Backed up traffic on Lindbergh will block these drivers from getting off the highway.
Careful timing of these lights will go a long way toward avoiding gridlock, but I wonder if these close intersections can handle it.
So Long
Well, that's all my predictions for now, and likely my last post for this blog. I'll leave the site up for another couple months, but I suspect by February, the Highway 40/I-64 closure will be a distant memory.

Hysterectomy and Pap Smears
Medical Author: Melissa Conrad Stöppler, MD
Medical Editor: William C. Shiel, Jr., MD, FACP, FACR
Viewer Question: Is it necessary to have a Pap smear if you have had a hysterectomy?
Dr. Stöppler's Answer: In some types of hysterectomy, the entire uterus is removed, including the cervix (the opening to the uterus). If you have had your cervix removed, you usually won't need to have regular Pap smears. In other types of hysterectomies, the cervix is left intact, and the portion of the uterus above the cervix is removed. In this case, the cervix is still present and Pap smears are still required.

Hoodwinked Too! Hood vs. Evil (US - BD RA)
Gabe suffers through a movie so bad it retroactively makes the prequel worse...
Red (Hayden Panettiere), Wolf (Patrick Warburton) and Granny (Glenn Close) are back, and this time they're on the trail of an evil witch named Verushka (Joan Cusack), who has kidnapped Hansel and Gretel (Bill Hader and Amy Poehler) in order to…you know what? Nobody cares about this. I'm just going to move on with the review.
I gave the first Hoodwinked! a pretty soft review all those many years ago. I watched the film with my friend's kids, and they seemed to laugh enough at the jokes for me to assume it was working. I also found a few bits funny as a grown-up, specifically Japeth the mountain goat, who had been cursed to sing everything he wanted to speak (and who once again steals the show). But the animation was hideous, the jokes missed more than they hit, and the concept had been already driven into the ground by the increasingly terrible Shrek films. Hoodwinked Too! Hood vs. Evil is more of the same, and this time a couple of almost clever concepts (the value placed on food is still amusing) and dashes of banter just witty enough to not make me reach for the player's off button ("chill a pill, and then take one") aren't enough for me to overlook the fact that it is just generally a bad, lazy pile of bad pop-culture references spoken by a surprisingly A-list level of voice talent.
I honestly ponder the possibility of the Weinstein Brothers holding incriminating pictures of this cast, because the only major cast members they lost between films were Anne Hathaway and Tom Arnold, who were replaced by two more actors above the film's grade – Hayden Panettiere and Martin Short. Not to mention the inclusion of Joan Cusack, Amy Poehler and Bill Hader. The other, more likely possibility is that the Weinsteins just threw enough money at these actors to compel them to look the other way concerning the script (or lack thereof). The first film had a low enough budget to give it a bit of a pass, but I've seen enough homemade, self-financed CG animation productions to know that price doesn't make as big of a difference anymore (you can't get Pixar levels of detail, no, but you can achieve very much). To prove my point I'd like to note that Jimmy Neutron: Boy Genius and 9 both boast the same $30 million price tag, Igor cost $5 million less, Alpha and Omega cost $10 million less, Battle for Terra cost $26 million less. The average episode of Star Wars: The Clone Wars, an often massively complex, and action heavy series, also costs less than a third of Hoodwinked Too's unnecessary budget. Considering all these numbers (which I'm basing on wikipedia estimates), and the fact that these often mediocre, but unmistakably better looking features achieved so much, I can only assume that the cast had to have raked in about half the money, and that 99.9999% of what was left went into 3D conversion and bribing theater owners into showing the film.
This is a clear-cut case of lazy filmmaking, ugly character design, and flat production design. If I didn't know better I'd assume that this was the animators' first run, and that rendering hasn't completed yet. There are lighting effects and textures, but in the case of any other film we'd assume these were temporary. You know, so the investors will have an inkling of what the final product will look like. The character animation is hampered by bad lip-sync and lumpy character designs, but occasionally features enough expressive exaggeration to make me assume some of the animators are actually talented, specifically whoever is responsible for Verushka, the evil witch voiced by Joan Cusack. For some reason the filmmakers aren't content to stick by the relative strength of their mile-a-minute dialogue, and try to make Hoodwinked Too into a 3D action spectacular. This means everything is framed too tightly, the already detail free backgrounds are blurred, and characters are continuously flying face-first at the audience. The lack of geographic sense, physical weight, or moving backgrounds doesn't help the team's aspiration. It's hard to be excited by a character falling when there's no real indication of the height they're falling from.
Have I mentioned this is a cheap looking, generally ugly animated film? Because my god is this a cheap looking, generally ugly animated film. Hoodwinked Too is so poorly put together the 1080p bump just barely makes a difference over the included DVD copy. The background textures, as mentioned, look incomplete, and the details are blurred in close-up. These stick out against the characters and their costumes, which are almost acceptable in their textural qualities (specifically Wolf's hair, and Hazel and Gretel's little outfits), and create some minor edge haloes. The colours are brighter on the Blu-ray, especially the greens and reds, and more sharply set against each other than on the more compression bound DVD, but the use of harsh black as a shading agent (rather than the more common complimentary hue) creates a few messy blends. None of these complaints appear to be the fault of the disc's compression, but the filmmakers' shortcuts.
Flat writing, flat visuals, might as well go for the hat trick. There's very little in the way of impressive sound design here, even during the big 3D action sequences. There is one scene where our heroes slide down a metallic beanstalk, which features some effective directional momentum, and another where the three little pigs chase Wolf and shoot mushroom cloud inducing missiles at him, which features some heavy LFE punch, but overall there isn't much outside the front three channels. The vocal performances are pretty consistent, with the exception of Joan Cusack, whose character occasionally wears a mask. The production accidentally uses the slightly muted 'mask-on' effect during her villainous diatribe, which she makes while not wearing the mask. The terrible pop songs that play as Red wanders the city, and while Kirk the Woodsman's friends attack the pigs impresses with their rear channel back-up vocals, but otherwise Murray Gold's score mostly only has a stereo presence.
Special features begin with a series of featurettes under the 'Voices' menu, (19:10, SD) which mix interview footage with brief behind the scenes bits. These include 'Hayden Panettiere as Red', 'Patrick Warburton as Wolf', 'Heidi Klum as Heidi', 'Wayne Newton as Jimmy 10-Strings' and 'David Ogden Stiers as Nicky Flippers'. The brief extras also feature three music videos ('I Can Do it Alone', 'You Know It' and 'Perfect Two'), two storyboard sequences, a production artwork gallery, trailers, and two teasers for Hoodwinked Too mobile device video games.
Hoodwinked! wasn't a good movie, but Hoodwinked Too! Hood vs. Evil is almost irredeemably bad. It's ugly, it isn't funny beyond a few minor grins raised by the talented mega-cast, it's terribly written, and it wastes $30 million dollars like few independent animated films in recent memory. Yes, that is significantly cheaper than the average Pixar, Dreamworks or Blue Sky production, but you could make four Waltz with Bashirs, two Persepolises, and one Triplets of Belleville for that money. The more I think about this one the less I like it, so I'll just leave you with a warning to stay far, far away.

Starz Animation did the feature animation for this, "Gnomeo & Juliet" and "9."
"9" had some stunningly beautiful animation, which doesn't explain why this latter film is badly animated.

Frankly, Gnomeo and Juliet looks pretty good too. My theory stands.

"9" was awful. "Gnomeo & Juliet" wasn't that good at all. The first "Hoodwinked" was funny and I think the second one will be a rental.

Really ? No one saw the first one. Why would they think it was popular enough to warrant a sequel ?

Junebug, I have been one of your strongest supporters, both here and behind the scenes. And yet, when I tried to help you in the emergency room, by suggesting things that would help you communicate by the members here, you attacked me, and said you couldn't trust me. This hurt my feelings, and makes me wary of interacting with you. Some of the so-called chill you are experiencing is because you've hurt people's feelings, and ignored most attempts to help.You believe in love and compassion, yet you've jumped on the very people who are trying to show compassion to you.Perhaps you can't hear this, but I still care about you. I still want to hear your opinions. I still want you to participate here. But I also don't want to feel attacked when I do so. I have feelings too.
...I care about you too Traveler. I care about all of you.
Quote from: junebug72 on January 26, 2014, 05:47:58 AM...I care about you too Traveler. I care about all of you. Cool. How long's your hair? I kept checking mine for growth, and now, 4.5 years after treatment mine is only a few inches from my waist!
Right about an inch. I think I will keep mine short.
Religions need books because they don't have gods.
Quote from: junebug72 on January 26, 2014, 02:31:01 PMRight about an inch. I think I will keep mine short.Don't mind me, but I always thought women (but not men) looked better with long hair. Men just look weird, though.EDIT: Which is not to say that women look bad with short hair. Just that they look better with long hair.
Hey, JB, yes I still have the tattoos. They've softened into dark, soft blue dots.And, yes, I still have neuropathy in my feet. My oncologist said if it was still there after a year that it was likely permanent. I've only had two real problems with it. First, it feels really creepy to wash my feet, especially my toes. The hot water seems to trigger it to be worse. The other is that I have to be really careful not to hurt myself, and I no longer go barefoot outside. I went out once to take my recycling out with bare feet. I dropped a glass jar, which broke. When I went inside, I was leaving bloody toe prints. I didn't feel a thing, but I had sliced my toe all the way to the bone.
Glad to hear you are still persevering with the treatment, junebug. How long will the radiation therapy last?Peace and long life.
Glad you're currently in the clear and this is the last stage save for followups. You and the other cancer survivors here and Lori; y'all have wills of drop-forged steel to have endured your travails.
Forge ahead, junebug.

So you received a downvote. So what?
As I've explained to you a billion times - it doesn't matter. It doesn't affect anything. It doesn't have any influence over anything. The moderation system and the algorithms it uses aren't impressed with a few comments getting a few downvotes. Your standing within the system is excellent, and not affected by this in any way, shape, or form. The system is smarter than that.
In fact, the system even alerts us of abuse, when a particular uses is oddly downvoted - say, by the same user, or in rapid fashion, and so on.
I honestly don't know how many times I have to point this out to you. Stop worrying so much over something that means nothing. Heck, this whining is why I originally wanted to hide comment scores altogether in favour of showing user standing.
We still may.

Falcons release Clabo
Flowery Branch, GA – The Atlanta Falcons have released offensive tackle Tyson Clabo.
The move is designated as a post-June 1 release.
"Unfortunately, we had to make another difficult decision regarding our roster today," said Falcons coach Mike Smith about Clabo. "Tyson was a valuable contributor to our football team during his time here and we appreciate everything he did for this team and in the community."
Clabo joined the Falcons in 2005 and was a member of the practice squad before being signed to the active roster in 2006. He started each of the 101 games he played for the club, including all 16 games each of the past five years.
The 31-year-old Wake Forest product originally signed with Denver in 2004 and did not play a game for the Broncos.

This month Nupur has announced BB6 and I was delighted to see the theme.We can blog any recipe that we have tried from another blog.My reason for happiness-I have many entries for her event 🙂
A couple of days ago I tried this Onion Chutney from Geetha's blog.Although I prepare onion chutney by another method,this one is a keeper.Tangy and yum,a perfect side dish for our morning breakfast.
I used:
Onion- 3 ,sliced
Tamarind extract – 1 tablespoon
Red chillies-3
Urad dhal-1 tablespoon[white]
Salt to taste
Oil-1 teaspoon
To season:
Oil-1 teaspoon
Mustard- 1 teaspoon
Cumin seeds-1/2 a teaspoon
Curry leaves – afew
Asafoetida powder- a pinch
- Heat a little oil in a pan and put in urad dhal and redchilles.Fry till the dal turns brown ,remove from heat.Keep aside.
- In the same pan ,heat the remaining oil and saute onions till translucent.Cool.
- Powder the dal and chilli and put in onion,salt and tamarind extract and grind to a paste but not too smooth.Remove into a serving dish.
- In a smaller pan,heat oil and put in the ingredients under seasoning.When it splutters,pour over the chuney,mix well and serve.
- This chutney must be tangy so add tamarind pieces/ extract accordingly.
- Grind the dhal first and the onions for a perfect chutney.
Bon appetit…


text: Thursday, September 22, 2011 Move Forward Ads to Air on Sirius/XM Radio During October Move Forward ads will run on select channels on Sirius/XM satellite radio during the weeks of October 3 and October 10. The 30-second spots highlight ways in which a physical therapist can help alleviate pain and restore and improve mobility, and encourage consumers to visit www.moveforwardpt.com to learn more and find a PT. The ads will run numerous times each week during Sirius/XM Stars (Rosie O'Donnell, Barbara Walters, Dr Laura, Deepak Chopra, etc), CNN, MSNBC, CNBC, Oprah Radio, and Martha Stewart Living. Channels were chosen for ability to reach baby boomers, a key target market for APTA's branding campaign. Click on the following links to listen to ad 1 and ad 2. Comments Love the adds. I wish you could have them on Doctor radio (sirius 81). There are often topics on the shows which are directly related to PT issues. Listeners are a health conscious bunch but may be more familiar only with doctors. Posted by Jane Sullivan on 9/23/2011 3:25 PM Ads are pretty basic, didn't really grab my attention too much. They feature mainly Outpatient type services of a Physical Therapists. That is only one arena we work in. Broaden the outlook!! Posted by Amy Pyle on 9/23/2011 4:23 PM I like the 2nd ad but not the 1st. Having these ads run on Sirius/XM (I own stock) is a great move but I believe that the choice of channels is a mistake. The reality is that 90% of the subscribers listen to the Howard Stern show and not much else. The Dr. Laura show I'll give you because this may reach many women who are the primary deciders for family's health care needs.

It should not be _that_ hard to add a slight audio "click" each time the user successfully enters a keystroke. Why hasn't any kernel programmer does this for the XO?
Among my multiple physical disabilities is the need for some kind of feedback that lets me know when my keystrokes have been successful. It seems evident that since the XO keyboard must be pressed hard _and_ that at least some users do not watch the display but instead watch where their fingers are going, that having this audible feedback would be a definite plus.
