love love love this powder.. I use it on top of the Lucidy Foundation and it gives a gorgeous light finish with a bit of radiance to the face.
I hate mask effect powders or glimmer and glitter effects. I leave that to the younger ladies.
will continue buying.

My aunt had this when I was a child. I used to steal it from her and use it! It is translucent..but I do not remember it being shimmery . It is not matte either. This compact has some luminizers in it which can be good or bad depending on what you want. It could help someone who wants to brighten their skin tone, but accentuate certain areas.The packaging is very elegant so that is good too.
This is an average powder. It's neither amazing nor terrible. I only bought it because at $12 a refill, it's quite affordable and I really wanted an Estee Lauder collectible compact.
~Doesn't oxidize
~Goes on smooth
~Doesn't look cakey
~Good for blotting
~Smell isn't that strong
~No lucid effect...quite average
Overall, I will probably keep buying this powder until I find something better. It's good setting and blotting powder but it doesn't control shine or any of that stuff.
I used this in translucent and while it is actually translucent (doesn't change color of brow corrector or blush), I don't feel it's "luminous" as Lauder claims. It wasn't that chalky but it seemed to just sit on top of my foundation and took away the natural look of my foundation (MUFE HD). I've been using MAC blot powder and feel like I can find better but this definitely isn't it. The fragrance was the biggest turnoff as it's very strong and lasts awhile. I try to limit how much fragrance my products have and this isn't worth it.
As I've reached my 50's there are alot of problems I've had with finding powders that gave me a natural finish. Fine lines are beginning to set in, and the minerals lines have all but seemed to either be chalky or accentuate lines. Until this. After reading several reviews on another blog of woman in my age group I splurged abit and purchased this and it is by far the finest powder I have ever used. I think if I applied this correctly since its somewhat buildable I could even use this as a foundation, yet its' sheer enough over a foundation and sets all day!!! NO creasing in lines, beautiful finish. Why are there companies out there these days producing finishes that believe the mature woman wants to "glow" like a sparkle glo-lite? You will LOVE this powder...what a pretty pretty finish!

Love this powder! Looks amazing over my estee lauder double wear.
'Sets your foundation without making you look cakey or too over the top. Don't think it controls my oil as much as I would like but nothing seems to. Smells great aswell which is an added bonus :)
This powder looks so beautiful on me! It keeps the oils in my face at bay all day with NO touchups! I don't look completely matte with it on which I really like. I have naturally tanned skin so translucent powders usually look really weird and creepy because of the white cast they give me but this one does not! It sets my foundation beautifully and keeps it on all day too. Refills are also only $11!! I think I'm in love :-)

Ideal for my needs. BEAUTIFUL packaging and just the right size for my purse. I like that I can buy refills for it.

My skin is normal to dry I'd say, and this powder gives me a light and luminous finish. I love it. I like my MAC Studio Careblend powder as well but EL gives a more sophisticated look. packaging is simple yet pretty, with EL's signature color blue and gold. I like that the mirror has a decent size so I can get a view of my entire face without having to hold the compact far.
One lippie off because I realized that there isn't much product in each pan for the price. I don't use it very often and I am seeing the bottom already. if you get used to using this powder everyday you would need to repurchase each month. that is expensive.
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
What I don't like about this is the fact that it's not cheap (I've found very comparable or even equal drugstore powders for less) and the customer serviced I received buying it both times was a negative experience. I don't know if it's just this counter, but the women were such snobs to me. It was almost as if it was a freaking burden for them to help me. I HATE that, especially when I'm spending money. I may not buy again for this reason, I don't know.
I like the powder enough, though. It doesn't look chalky or powdery which is a plus. It doesn't irritate my skin or break it out, but it does dry it out if I use too much. But I don't, so it's not a problem. I tend to use powder as a way to set my moisturizer. I hate the feeling of foundation so I don't wear it. This goes on nicely.

Agenda item 89 (continued)
Environment and sustainable development
(d) Elaboration of an international convention to combat desertification in those countries experiencing serious drought and/or desertification, particularly in Africa
Report of the Secretary-General (A/49/477)
Note by the Secretary-General transmitting the reports of the Intergovernmental Negotiating Committee (A/49/84 and Add.1 and Add.2)
Draft resolution (A/49/L.4)
At Rio de Janeiro, with the adoption of Agenda 21, we launched a historic process which led to the finalization of the convention to Combat Desertification in those Countries Experiencing Drought and/or Desertification. The culmination of this process at the Paris signing ceremony is a recognition, not only of the fact that the international community is fully conscious of the ravages caused by drought and desertification, but also of its commitment to deal with this problem.
This is no longer a problem affecting a few countries which are left to cope with it on their own, but one of global dimensions. The international community, through this Convention, has undertaken the responsibility of dealing with the issue in a collective manner within an operational framework that calls for strengthened partnerships. The Convention is the first international and legally binding instrument deriving from the Rio Conference that links environment and development.
In countries affected by desertification and drought, the twin menace has grave socio-economic consequences. It affects every aspect of human activity. The Convention therefore recognizes that "desertification and drought affect sustainable development through their interrelationships with important social problems such as poverty, poor health and nutrition, lack of food security, and those arising from migration, displacement of persons and demographic dynamics".
The problem of desertification and the effects of drought affect an estimated 900 million people in over 80 countries. Within these countries, those touched are among the poorest and the most marginalized. These problems stunt economic growth and development and have in some cases led to the impoverishment of many a developing country.
Poverty has grave socio-economic implications and is destroying the present world order. Societies have begun to disintegrate as people compete for increasingly scarce resources. This scarcity of resources, especially of food stocks in the developing countries, has led to internal strife. Every year, one or two countries descend into internal political chaos because they can no longer provide sustenance and hope for their peoples. The spreading chaos can no longer be quarantined behind barbed wire to protect the islands of the privileged. The affluent countries are unable to insulate themselves. Failure to deal with desertification and the effects of drought accelerates the process of impoverishment of the people in dry lands and exacerbates the emergency cycle of famine and drought relief, thereby diverting resources badly needed for addressing long-term issues of development. The adoption of the Convention provides the international community with the tools it needs to deal with the issues of poverty and food scarcity, which are multiplied in countries afflicted with drought and desertification.
I have the honour to inform this Assembly that Pakistan signed the Convention at the Paris ceremony. The economy of Pakistan has an agricultural base and we are increasingly concerned at the rapid loss of good cultivable land to the expanding deserts. The loss of such land has brought immense misery to the small landowners and tillers. Families have been uprooted in the provinces of Sindh, Baluchistan, the North West Frontier and Punjab as land erosion sets in. In search of a livelihood, such farm-based families are forced to migrate to larger cities. To stop such human suffering is of critical importance to the Government of Prime Minister Benazir Bhutto. Every inch of agricultural land is precious to us and therefore our commitment to the Convention rises out of our own immediate concerns as do our efforts to work together with the international community to deal with this environmental problem, which directly affects the lives of millions of human beings.
The Convention and its annexes form a legally binding instrument. Signing it is therefore a declaration of intent on the part of all signatories that the obligations identified in the document are binding upon them.
The adoption of the Convention also reflects a tacit agreement that the African countries afflicted by these two problems require immediate attention. We stand by our brethren from Africa and sincerely hope that the implementation of the Convention will assist them in their efforts to alleviate some of their economic problems, which are the direct result of these twin problems.
The actions taken by the developing countries at the national level to implement the Convention not only require political commitment but also substantial new and additional resources. The increased resources are critical for developing countries to reclaim the land swallowed by deserts. According to estimates, nearly $22 billion will be required annually over the next 20 years to finance the rehabilitation of land and halt the decline in fertility. Such additional resources would be difficult to generate in the already financially strapped developing countries.
It is quite clear that adequate technology and know-how are critical for land reclamation. Such technology is available in the developed countries that have decades of experience with such problems. It is therefore essential that the developed countries step in with adequate new financial resources. Such resources should be made available to the signatories of the Convention that have reflected their commitment to dealing with this issue through national action but are unable to implement their programmes in this area due to a lack of resources.
In Pakistan we have attempted to undertake some remedial measures through reforestation projects and the construction of tube-wells. Within the context of our national conservation strategy, and linking it with the social action programme vigorously pursued by the present Government, we have launched land-reclamation projects and projects to support displaced and impoverished families. The problem is large and the resources of the Government limited. We look forward to any additional resources that can strengthen our hand in carrying out our efforts to combat the onslaught of desertification and land erosion.
We are convinced that the United Nations Sudano-Sahelian Office of the United Nations Development Programme can play an extremely important role in assisting the developing countries in the implementation of the Convention. That Office can provide advice to developing countries on acquiring the required expertise. We welcome the decision of the Administrator that following the adoption of the Convention the Office will now deal with the needs of all countries facing the problems of drought and desertification.
The arduous journey of drafting a legal document is over. We are now stepping into its implementation phase. In order to ensure that the Convention does not become just another well-bound document in the archives, political commitment at the highest level is essential. Implementation will require concrete national action with appropriate international support.

Here we go!
A few days ago, I announced the upcoming PSP Genesis competition, a massive PSP homebrew contest. I announced it would be one of the biggest psp scene contest ever in terms of prizes. I'm extremely proud to announce that thanks to the massive positive reaction from several sites of the PSP scene, the PSP Genesis competition is going to be THE biggest PSP contest ever.
As I type this, the cumulative amount of prizes is 3200$, of which almost 3000$ is cash. Want to know more? Is it enough if I say that the first prize is the impressive amount of 1600$? did I lie when I said that my personal contribution of 100$ would be only a small part of the prizes?
What else? 750$ for the second best entry, 400$ for the 3rd one, 100$ for the members' vote on /talk, A PSP Go for the members vote on psp-hacks.com, as well as my personal contribution of 100$ for my favorite open source entry.
Many thanks go to npt, psp-hacks.com, pspslimhacks.com, wololo.net, the first sponsors of this massive event. We are still welcoming more sponsors of course, so if you're interested to become a sponsor of this contest, please check the sponsors' page.
And if you're a homebrew developer… Well, I do believe that the prizes should be motivation good enough. So go and check the rules, you have until May, 15th to submit your entry!
(We are still ironing out a few things, we didn't expect something that huge, please bear with us as it's our first time organizing such an event)

my words exactly!
I wanna win cause I have to buy a new laptop!
The one I have right now sucks.. xD -
Wicked prize.
I'm not a developer, but i am waiting at the edge of my seat for how the competition will play out.
"100$ for the members' vote on /talk, A PSP Go for the members vote on psp-hacks.com" waaaaaaa!!!!!
time to start coding
Yes, it is quite a large number. But, since this is intended to get people coding with a "masterpiece" in their mind, as, by simply winning this I imagine it could mean a lot of different things to different people. : )
2k11 PSP Homebrew!
more like 3k 2011 PSP Homebrew :p
I don't think some body got a chance to win if TN whit his HEN is on this competition
or Liquidzigong's whit his Custom Firmware 6.35 PRO-A……so every body else be prepare to have the 3r Price….or less.
and Games …good Games ..come out of this competition…..I don't think so…..not for 3200$.
The cost of a 3D program like 3ds max to make a character is 4000$..and plus programing etc. -
Oh man, gotta pull out all stops for this competition, but will 3 months be enough, I wonder.
Speaking of being in the judge's heads, you can read the topic 'Meet the judges' here: http://wololo.net/talk/viewtopic.php?f=25&t=2808
A thread to get to know a little more about the people involved in the judging. See that they are all unique people, with tastes and ideas just as diverse as the scene itself.
wow… I'm going to download every entry and vote.. nice.. There's still no good snes emulator out there. Adhoc for NESTER J.
damn this is huge. i wont compete in any way however. i have enough shit as it is. besides, i have a psp hacked and thats all i need
wololo would be possible to insert a GSM module in the slot Memory Stik Duo by turning PSP into a phone? Maybe even put Android .. Transforming psp-go in Sony Ericsson Xperia Xplay .. it would be possible or just a dream?
No, that would require some illegal hacking there. I was an IT developer for phones for 4 years. I helped design Android Froyo, and the basic outline and compatibility modules of Android 3.0. You would require: GSM module, SIM card adapter, An antenna of some sort, A transmitter, and satellite communications. You would need to hack and open a backdoor in the satellite network of a phone company, and rewrite some code to recognize your modified SIM card, and to make it see the GSM module as a phone. Expensive stuff and illegal. Then you would need some hardcore OFW/CFW hacking and some Kick-Ass coding capabilities to get the PSP to actually recognize the GSM module, meaning porting some Phone code over to psp code, and then making it think that it is supposed to be there. Or just make some SICK kernel homebrew. Too hard mate, not possible. Just buy the Xperia Play.
AND, I am going to be in this contest if I can refresh my coding skills. I need to figure out the Ad-Hoc and possible infrastructure stuff. Look out for JailBust!!!
haha nice… adhoc for some emulators.. but they wont give you credit I guess cause I think your not allowed to just modify others' code… sad.
@StefanoB to use your psp as a wlan phone is possibel with a hb. To insert a GSM module in the slot Memory Stik Duo; i can say it is possibel to change the slot to a multi cardreading port or if u a good to a (limited)usb port.. to use the psp org.usb-port for a GSM module should be much easyer.
I think this would be a dream 4 most of the psp user!!!
i don´t know a hb as street fighter, good idea
Batalla.Ninja.v2.5 http://www.mediafire.com/?2b4bwoo6x2n1j9u
it i kind of street fighter homebrew ) new release (o:
wordlessssss)))) cant w8t to see the winees homebrew))))
can somone make fallout 3 for psp?
or a better youtubing homebrew
if i can learn how to hand code and build a website in a week. I can learn how to code for the psp. Now anybody got any links on where i can start.
Lua: http://www.evilmana.com/tutorial/psp-lua-programming/ or http://www.retroemu.com/forum/index.php?/forum/27-tutorials/
C/C++: http://www.psp-programming.com/tutorials/ or http://forums.psp-hacks.com/f141/the-ultimate-start-to-programming-t259069/
If you have no experience at all programming with c/c++ you should probably go with lua as c/c++ might take longer to get the hang of.
lol learning to write some basic html, and learning C well enough to create a decent homebrew are on two completely different skill levels.
hey this took a little bit more than some simple html ( blackbeltchamber.org ) though i must admit i had some help from dreamweaver
I hope many people will participate in this.
more ppl= more ideas= more homebrews! -
Sounds great. I hope to get surprised by some awesome HB's. *sigh* I wish someone would make a GBA emulator with Ad-Hoc…

Why should I learn how to read a time line?
To understand history, we need to know when things happened. We also need to know in which order they happened. We can read history books and other books for this information. But, sometimes it can be confusing to understand what happened first and next!
Reading a time line can clear that confusion. A time line not only shows when events took place, but it also shows the amount of time that passes between events. In this way, a time line helps to give a sense of sequence, or order, to history.
Let's read a time line!
Now, take a closer look at the time line below. Notice that the name of each event appears below or above the date it happened.
Use the time line to answer the questions.
Which event took place in 1825?
Was the National Road built before or after Ford's Model T? How do you know?
How much time passed between the year Model T was developed and the year in which Ford sold fifteen million cars?
Did the steam engine come before or after the steamboat?
An elevator with a safety clamp was invented in 1852, which led to the first passenger elevator to be built. In which part of the time line would that event appear?

Two quality defensive midfielders, but Shevchenko remains vital
As tournament co-hosts, Ukraine have not had to qualify and have spent much of the last two years playing friendly matches.
Coach Oleg Blokhin has only been in charge for just over a year and has really been experimenting during that time.
He has used 41 players in his 10 friendly matches at the helm and still doesn't look to have settled on his best 11 for the tournament.
Undoubtedly the main threat in the Ukraine side, even at the age of 35, is captain and main striker Andriy Shevchenko.
The former Chelsea and AC Milan man, who is now back at Dynamo Kiev, has scored 46 goals in 105 games in an impressive career for his country, which stretches back to 1995.
He has not played as much for Kiev this season, but still managed six goals in his 16 Ukrainian Premier League games.
Dynamo Kiev winger Andriy Yarmolenko was hailed as the 'new Shevchenko' when he burst onto the scene with a goal on his debut in 2008.
In recent years he has established himself in the Kiev first team, scoring 30 goals in 84 games to date.
The 22-year-old is a quality wide man, but can also be used as a support striker.
He has seven goals in 18 caps for his country meaning opposition defenders will definitely need to keep an on him.
Goals scored in last 10 games: 18 Goals conceded in last 10 games: 18 Top scorer: Four - Yarmolenko

Pumping Iron In The Print ShopIn the intensely demanding printing China printing, with presses and bindery equipment walking at full tilt, the continuous strain for productivity is often an open invitation to unplanned downtime.Vacuum pumps are integral to cheap wedding dresses and bindery operations. Since pump failure can bring down mighty presses or bustling bindery lines, it is vital to have pump models that are simple to service as well as quick access to repair parts and replacement units as well as responsive service and technical support.Of coursework, a large portion of the Sexy dresses 2012 of such issues is in lost production time, which is gone forever. But the largest cost of all could be a missed deadline that leads to the loss of a customer and perhaps millions of dollars in future revenues - all over a cheap piece of support equipment.While advancements in major printing and bindery magnetic buzzer are enabling more impressions and increased output, it is often the small workhorses, such as vacuum pumps, that are integral to the method. A vacuum pump that is down for maintenance can bring down multi-million-dollar printing or bindery iron without notice, sometimes for days.A premium-quality house, and the largest U.S. minority-owned children book printing, Graphic Press produces first-class work such as annual reports, catalogs, brochures and direct mail pieces for the automotive, travel, telecommunications, entertainment and financial industries as well as major promotion agencies and graphic design studios."A vacuum pump that requires booklets printing can mean hours or days of downtime," says Marco Gazares, a maintenance supervisor at Graphic Press in Los Angeles. "That is always the major consideration, since it affects scheduling in not only printing but also bindery operations. So, naturally it can generate delivery issues."Graphic Press has invested heavily in multiple Magazine printing to make sure quick turnaround while maintaining highest quality. Equipment includes large Heidelberg sheet-fed presses and Goss rotary (web) presses. A full-service, onsite bindery provides stitching with optical signature recognition; folding, scoring and slitting of printed forms."Many of the projects of these roll forming machine are time critical," Gazares says.

Those standards also apply to smaller equipment and slitting line such as the assortment of vacuum pumps used in the printing and bindery operations."I think there's several cut to length line you need to think about when you are specifying or replacing a vacuum pump," Gazares explains. "Quality is a major reason, but quality incorporates several elements: durability, ease of service and repair, access to replacement parts and pumps, and availability of quality technical support and repair service."WN

My first real love was H.K. It was during holidays so we were separated by this fucking distance. I loved him
2 months ago
My previous boyfriend.
I'm not the type of girl who needs a man, I mean who sticks to a guy just for love. I am not desperate. When I saw him first in our orientation for Freshmen in high school, he sat beside me because he arrived late, but we never talked in the classroom until we became seatmates, I knew that he'll fall for me(but right now, I pretty know that he didn't love me that much, he's just infatuated to me- IDK) and I fall for him too. I don't actually fall for a guy, but when he made a move, I bit the opportunity but we just became "in a relationship" when we were in Junior high school. I thank him for everything. I thank him for all the laughs and tears; shouts and whispers; love and hate; hope and sorrows; for the arguments and reconciliations; and for ALL the bittersweet mem'ries.

Our research team has now carried out the fifth survey of American Catholics. The first survey, done just after Easter in 1987 and in anticipation of Pope John Paul II's second visit to the United States, was designed with the hope that our bishops and the pope would find value in a demographic profile of American Catholics as well as a sketch of their beliefs, practices and attitudes.
The fifth survey, also completed in the weeks after Easter, and now six years into the reign of Pope Benedict XVI, provides a portrait showing both persistence and change in the beliefs, practices and attitudes of Catholics as they head into the second decade of the 21st century.

Lost Ladybug Project
Have you seen ladybugs near where you live? Did you know that the ladybugs you see may not be from a native ladybug species? Over the years, native ladybugs have become rare, while species of ladybugs that come from other places have become more common. The Lost Ladybug Project is looking for native ladybugs (and counting invasive ladybugs, too) to find out why the native species are becoming so rare.
You can help by finding and photographing ladybugs! Visit the Lost Ladybug Project website with your parents to learn how to find ladybugs and send in your pictures.

Several native ladybug species are disappearing and being replaced by ladybugs from other places. The nine-spotted ladybug and other species have become so rare that scientists are hoping kids can find some in their neighborhoods. Cornell University wants kids go out and search for ladybugs and send in pictures to include in their database. To find out how you can help, visit http://lostladybug.org.

Best Place around.
Everytime I visit this place the experience gets better and better. Their a certified Kirby dealership and they dont sell anything other than Kirby Vacuums. I wasted my time a long time ago trying to go to other places that werent certified and they just ripped me off and sold me parts that werent even kirby parts which is why its important to go to a certified Kirby, The manager Dave is extremely knowledgable and helps me out every time i need it. Which is pretty rare because my Kirby Has lasted 20 years and I have only had to bring it in twice. The rebuild was well worth the cost because It will last another 20 years.

Kirby Vacuum Excellant Place to be!. I love my Kirby Vacuum and I love the location at 4824 North 35th Avenue. The manager is a very nice gentlemen and helped my mom out. He carried her machine from her car and he only fixed what was broken. I recommend this place to everyone and the kirby vacuum to anyone who is tired of throwing their money away on walmart vacs.
Great place to buy a kirby vacuum. I have loved this location and the manager at this location for years. Great customer service, great product who doesnt love kirby? Honors warranties and is very helpful. love this place

Through my relationship as a Best Buy WOLFBlogger, I was given a chance to review the Rocketfish Keyboard iCapsule for my iPad 2 this month and received it for free. I'm actually typing out my post on it right now in my local coffee shop.
So far, I've really liked using the integrated Bluetooth keyboard. The keyboard even has some cool shortcuts including volume controls, copy, cut and paste buttons and a feature which locks the screen with one click. However, there is no Delete or End button which can be a pain for writers. I can also use my pictures as a screensaver with one click. The keyboard gives you the tactile experience some people crave when typing. It's my favorite part of the entire case and I can type much faster with it than the iPads native touch screen.
The biggest downfall is the bulkiness of the hard shell case. With my iPad inside, it weighs almost 5 lbs. It's also 10 inches wide and 1.4 inches tall which is actually bigger than my smallest netbook. However, it's much more convenient than carrying around my apple keyboard and trying to juggle both when walking into a client meeting. When the case is closed, both the keyboard and iPad itself are protected from bumps and, God forbid, drops.
Another cool feature is the iPad automatically shuts off when the case is closed which is a great battery saving tool.
One other issue is you can't use your iPad in portrait mode, only horizontally. That can be a big problem for designers like me who need to see the "big" picture of their work.
All in all I've received a lot of compliments on the look and design of the case when it's opened and closed. People tend to think it's pretty cool and it's become a nice conversation starter.
I would recommend it to people who write a lot and take a lot of notes. College students would love using it in class and professionals can easily use it during meetings and pack it into a small briefcase with no issues. I'll be using mine regularly and hope to write more blog posts in coffee shops with it in the future!
You can find the iCapsule here.

SHEFFIELD — On second look, Helen Keller Hospital was given a clean bill of health by the Joint Commission.
The hospital recently underwent a follow-up survey to inspect citations noted from a March visit by the Joint Commission, and hospital CEO Doug Arnold said the second check resulted in no citations.
The Joint Commission is a national not-for-profit accrediting agency that accredits more than 19,000 health care facilities in the United States.
In March, the agency cited Helen Keller for 36 compliance issues. The commission has 1,779 standards it reviews for hospitals.
As a result of the March citations, the hospital was subject to a follow-up survey on just the areas of concern listed in the previous report.
"The reviewer found no issues," Arnold said.
After the first survey, Arnold said the hospital took steps to correct the citations listed, and all were approved by the commission.
Both Eliza Coffee Memorial Hospital in Florence and Shoals Hospital in Muscle Shoals also are accredited by the Joint Commission.
Rebecca Michael, quality care manager at Helen Keller, said putting the facility under the microscope is the best way to ensure excellence in patient care.
"You want that additional set of eyes to come in and make sure your practices are best practices," she said. "You want that critique. The reviewer talked a lot about us being good already, but pushing us to the best practices."
In September, Helen Keller was on the Top Performer on Key Quality Measures lists from the Joint Commission for the second year in row. The list of honorees was culled from required reporting of standards of care data during 2011.
"The level of patient care hasn't changed," Arnold said. "It has always been high."
Hospitals with full accreditation, like Keller, ECM and Shoals, are reviewed at least once every three years.

How Childhood Cancers Differ From Adult Cancers
En Español (Spanish Version)
We sometimes look at children and only see smaller versions of ourselves. But when we look deeper, we know that children have needs, wants, likes, dislikes, and even medical issues that vary greatly from their adult counterparts. Pediatric oncologists and other physicians who work with children are well aware of these differences. Childhood cancers are quite different from cancers in adults.
Differences Between Childhood and Adult Cancers
Childhood cancers differ from adult cancers in many ways.
Childhood cancers are much less common than cancers in adults. Cancers in children and adolescents account for a small percentage of all cancers that are diagnosed.
Risk Factors and Causes
Many cancers that affect adults are related to lifestyle risk factors, such as tobacco or alcohol use, poor diet, or sedentary lifestyle. On the other hand, the causes of most childhood cancers are not known.
Types of Cancers
Childhood cancers tend to occur at different sites from those common in adults. Among the most common childhood cancers are
, brain tumors, and
bone cancer
. Each of these cancers also occurs in adults, but adult cancers tend to strike the lung, colon, breast, prostate, and pancreas. There are some childhood cancers that almost never occur in adults, and some cancers that affect adults but virtually never occur in children. At the same time, there are cancers that, while more common at one age than another, can affect both adults and children.
Treatment Facility
Most adults who are diagnosed with cancer are treated in their local community by their primary care physicians and cancer specialists. Children's cancers are much more rare than those of adults, so specialists in many smaller communities do not have continuing experience with the management of these diseases. For this reason, children usually are best treated by teams of doctors who specialize in the diagnosis, treatment, and management of childhood cancers. Such teams are much more likely to be found in eminent children's hospitals, university medical centers, and cancer centers.
Over the past 20 years, there has been an increase in the number of children diagnosed with cancer. But, according to the National Cancer Institute, the death rate has decreased and the five-year survival rate has increased.
Common Childhood Cancers
The most common childhood cancers are leukemias, lymphomas, brain tumors, and bone cancers.
is a cancer of the white blood cells. It affects bone marrow, causing it to produce large numbers of abnormal white blood cells. These white blood cells crowd normal, healthy blood cells out of the bone marrow and blood, leading to the common symptoms of leukemia: pale skin, bleeding, bruising, and serious infection.
Young children are most likely to have a type of leukemia called
acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL)
is a cancer of the lymph nodes, part of the body's immune system that helps fight infection. Lymphoma occurs when lymphocytes, a type of white blood cell, become malignant and multiply out of control. The abnormal cells crowd out healthy cells and create tumors that may occur in lymph nodes or in other organs such as the liver or spleen. Lymphomas are divided into two categories,
non-Hodgkin's lymphoma
Hodgkin's lymphoma
, which differ to some extent in their treatment and prognosis.
Non-Hodgkin's lymphoma is more common in very young children, while Hodgkin's disease is more common in adolescents.
Brain Tumors
Brain tumors
of the brain and spinal cord comprise the most common types of solid tumors in children. Not all brain tumors are cancers, but even the non-malignant ones may affect one or several of the functions controlled by the brain, including memory and learning, the senses, and emotions. Tumors may also affect body movement and may lead to seizures or other complex symptoms.
The incidence of brain tumors peaks between the ages of 5-10. Brain tumors occur somewhat more often in boys than girls.
Bone Cancer
Bone cancer
is commonly found in the legs or arms, and around the knees. Bone cancer in children most likely occurs during adolescent growth spurts. Osteosarcoma, a type of bone cancer, occurs more often in boys than girls. While cancer is very rare and pain is common, children who have unexplained persistent pain in a bone or joint should generally have an
to make sure there is no cancer.
There are many other uncommon childhood cancers that cancer specialists are called upon to diagnose and treat. Fortunately, effective therapies exist for many of these cancers. The diagnosis of cancer can be a trying time for a child and family, but helpful and caring treatment can make a difference.

HeatherN comments on the case of a Catholic man who remains celibate due to his same-sex attraction.
There are a million potential reactions to reading an article about Steve Gersham, who has same-sex attraction but remains celibate for religious reasons. I know I at least went through half a million of them as I read the article and visited the author's website. Mostly though, what I felt was sadness tinged with a bit of pity. I know no one likes to be pitied (I hate it), but there it is. Now before you jump all over me, let me try to explain why.
At first glance you might think I pity Steve (the author) because of his celibacy, but that's not it. By all means, be celibate; that's fine. It's the reasoning behind Steve's celibacy that elicits my pity. This is a man who views his sexuality as a cross to bear, his great burden in life. As he says on his website:
"This is always true: SSA [same-sex attraction] is a cross, but cowardice is not. Some things are meant to be endured, and some things are meant to be overcome. Like the alcoholics say: Lord, grant us the wisdom to know the difference."
That is what makes me so sad when reading the article. This is indicative to me of a culture and society which values leading a righteous life over self-acceptance. It treats homosexuality as something that is damaging and bad for him, as if having sex with a man could harm him in some way. And that is so very wrong.
Just to add: I totally get that Steve is pretty freaking brave writing so honestly about his experience. I do not mean to direct any of this toward Steve personally, but rather toward the social and cultural norms that create and perpetuate the idea that homosexuality is a problem.

Look at the word collaborate. Now strip away the first three letters. Then strip away the first three letters and you'll see something interesting. Right there in the middle of it all is the word "labor" and that is exactly what collaboration is, sharing the work.
Collaboration may well be the best illustration of what it means to be the body of Christ. when a few people bring what they can do to the table and work together, weaknesses are erased and more is accomplished than we could ever accomplish on our own.
The apostle Paul even went to far as to call himself and his partners in ministry God's co-workers (or co-laborers if you will) in 2 Corinthians 6:1. That is the best collaboration of all. After all the best effort we can make—the best investment of our time and talents is to be a part of what God is doing.
What are you waiting for? Seek the Lord. Find people with a similar vision. Utilize all your gifts in community. Be the Body of Christ.

Bare Metal Recovery, Revisited
As you look at the script make.fdisk shown in Listing 2 [available at ftp.linuxjournal.com/pub/lj/listings/issue100/5484.tgz], keep in mind what happens at what time. Like C source code, some things happen later on, at runtime. Others happen at the time the program is compiled, like evaluation of defines and inclusion of header files.
On examining make.fdisk, the first thing we see is that it is a Perl script. Next is a brief description of what the script does. This is followed by a timestamp and two copyright statements. Then we see the usual announcement that the code is free software and distributed under the General Public License. Next is a detailed description of the problem with fdisk we've already seen—and the solution. It is good coding practice to document a program in this manner; it makes the program almost self-documenting.
Now we get to actual Perl code. The subroutine cut2fmt takes a series of column numbers and calculates a format string for later use with unpack. Right after the subroutine we use it to create a format string to unpack the output from fdisk.
After that is a series of definitions of the columns in fdisk's output. With these, we can index into the array created with unpack by name rather than by column number. This should make the script easier to read and more maintainable.
The directory where the rebuilt hard drive will be mounted is named $target so that the first stage restore can find it. Make sure this agrees with the definition of $target in your copy of the script restore.metadata.
Next, the code massages the device name to produce the filenames where we will send our output. Then we define the path to the directory where we will place the output files.
Labels are tools that Linux uses to abstract partitions. The problem with using device filenames in fstab is that if you add or remove a hard drive you may affect which device file another partition shows up under. Labels travel with the partition, so that with mounting by label you always get the correct partition. They are a problem for us because tomsrtbt doesn't handle labels.
The next section of code executes mount with a command-line switch to make it show the labels. If there is a label in any given line, we save the label and the device filename in a hash. That way, later on when we make the filesystem in the partition, we can assign the label. Also, we need to mount the partition by a device filename so that we can restore to it. We make a hash mapping from device filename to mountpoint so that later on we can build the mountpoint directories and mount the partitions.
Next is a typical Perl command to spawn a process and put the results into a filehandle, in this case FDISK. It is complete with error checking. Then we open our output file, which will eventually be redirected as input to fdisk.
Now we begin a loop to parse each line of the output from the system call to fdisk. We are interested in any line that has the device in it. If we find one, we massage it a bit, unpack it into the array @_ and further massage the array members.
If a partition number is less than five, it is either a primary partition, meaning it can have a filesystem in it, or an extended partition, meaning it can have a number of logical partitions in it. In either case, we write the commands to build the partition to the output file. If it is a Linux swap partition, we have to tell fdisk to change its partition type.
If we see a primary partition that is either FAT (but, for now, not FAT32), Linux or Linux swap, we append the appropriate command to the $format to make the partition a FAT, ext2 filesystem or a swap partition. Later on, we'll use $format to create the output script.
A partition number of five or greater only can be a logical partition, that is, one contained within an extended partition. As far as we are concerned, these are either Linux ext3fs, Linux swap partitions, FAT or anything else. As above, appropriate fdisk commands are sent to the output file and appropriate commands to create filesystems are appended to $format.
We look to see if there is a label for each ext2 partition. If there is, we use a command that will recreate that label on the new partition, otherwise we use the same command without a label.
You will notice that there are two commands to make each filesystem, with one commented out. The one commented out makes the filesystem with no bad-block checking. If I were installing to a brand-new hard drive, I would consider using this. The other does bad-block checking. I prefer to check for bad blocks when reusing a hard drive. The bad-block check is a simple read-only test, which is reasonable most of the time. You can add a write test, which is much more thorough but takes longer, by adding -w to the command-line options for bad blocks. The write test is destructive, but since you will be building a new filesystem in the partition, you don't care.
At the end of our line-parsing loop, if any partition is marked "bootable" (typically a MS-DOS, Windows or Windows NT partition because LILO ignores the bootable flag), we send the commands to make it bootable to the command file.
The last thing we do for the command file is send a "v", which will have fdisk verify the newly built partition table. Then we send a "w", which will cause fdisk to write the partition table to the hard drive and then exit. We then close our two files.
Next, we open the file that will become our script and send an appropriate header to the script, similar to the header for this script. The first thing the script actually will do is use dd to write zeros over the first 1,024 bytes of the hard drive. This will clobber any existing master boot record (MBR) so that we don't have to worry about deleting partitions before creating the new ones.
The next step is to create the command that will partition the hard drive, using the command file we've already created. Then the code walks through the hash of mountpoints, creating a comment line, a command to create the directory and then a command to mount the device filename to the directory.
We have to mount starting at the root partition so that mountpoints are created in the correct partition. For example, suppose /usr/local is on its own partition; we have to mount /usr before we build /usr/local. To ensure that is done, we sort the keys of the hash and process the hash in that order.
The last thing we do is change the mode of the files we've just created. Since paranoids live longer, we disallow anyone but root from even reading the script, and make it executable.

Last Week to Enroll - Leadership Orlando Deadline This Friday |
There is no "right" time! As busy as we are, it can be challenging to find the time to participate in Leadership Orlando. Our experience has shown that there is no time like the present to make a commitment to the future – personally and professionally.
Setting aside one day a month to explore the Central Florida Region and to build relationships with classmates and faculty, may seem difficult. But for those who do, the experience is well worth it and, in fact, they miss the camaraderie and the wealth of knowledge gained each month about our region and the present and future assets that reflect our competitive advantage and quality of life.
Just listen to what members of Class 83 have to say:
So far, Class 83 has been more than I expected. What a terrific group of people and information. Keep it coming!
Overall, I would give a ranking of 9 out of 10 for the leadership class experience and new relationships I have gained as a result of the class.
Excellent use of my time! I have connected with several folks outside of LO, so it does work.
Behind the scene tours are the best - getting to ask questions of those who have the most knowledge about the places we visit.
And from graduates of Class 82:
This has been the very best program I have been involved in. The price seemed a little steep at first, but looking it back it was worth every dollar. I established relationships (personal and professional) with all market sectors. I have spoken about Leadership Orlando to everyone I meet and have encouraged each of them to participate.
Best professional development experience I've had in my 4 years here in Orlando. And one of my best overall.
If you have been looking for the "right" time to participate in Leadership Orlando, or know someone who should be in the room for these discussions, now is indeed the perfect time to be a part of America's largest Community Leadership program, Leadership Orlando. Preparing for the future of our region is up to each of us. Now is the time to learn about the issues, participate in the difficult conversations and help in guiding our future.
Class 84 begins in September, with Adrian Jones, General Manager of LEGOLAND Florida serving as Class Chair. The online enrollment form and the full schedule may be accessed at www.LeadershipOrlando.org. Should you have questions, contact Kathy Panter at 407.835.2499 or via email at firstname.lastname@example.com.
