St. Bonaventure University will honor three individuals for their selfless contributions to the Rochester community at its Gaudete Medals ceremony on Thursday, April 24, at the Rochester Riverside Convention Center.
St. Bonaventure's Gaudete (gow-DAY-tay) Medal honors business and community leaders who exemplify the spirit of St. Francis of Assisi through their joy, hope, positive outlook on life, sincerely compassionate spirit and desire to serve humankind. Recipients of the Gaudete, which means "Rejoice!" in Latin, have inspired, encouraged and enlightened others through their personal and professional lives.
Cocktails begin at 6 p.m. with dinner at 7 p.m., followed by the medal presentations. The public is invited. For more information on Gaudete event sponsorships and individual tickets, contact Anne Goergen at firstname.lastname@example.com or 716-375-4085.
The honorees are:
Ronald Salluzzo, SBU class of 1972, is a partner in the Higher Education and Academic Medical Centers markets of Attain, LLC, and serves as the firm's chief risk officer.
His past work experience includes roles such as the National Industry Leader for Higher Education at KPMG; managing partner of KPMG's Rochester Office; chief financial officer of Harris Interactive; chief risk officer for BearingPoint; and executive vice president at Bearing Point responsible for the state and local and education practice in North America.
Salluzzo holds memberships on the Board of Trustees of Stevens Institute of Technology, Board of Managers of the Eastman School of Music at the University of Rochester, and the Board of the St. Ann's Community Foundation.
Past community activities include treasurer of the Eastman Commons Community; chair of the Board of the Rochester Philharmonic Orchestra; treasurer of Rochester Community Baseball; vice chair of the Board of the Visiting Nurse Service; vice chair of the Board of the United Way of Greater Rochester; and treasurer of the Shakespeare Theatre in Washington, D.C.
Serving as a St. Bonaventure University trustee from 1994 until 2004, Salluzzo and his wife, Sharon, have been major donors to endowment programming for the new William E. and Ann L. Swan Business Center. They have also been active supporters of the Gaudete Awards ceremony, serving as event chairs in 2008.
Fr. Laurence Tracy has been honored numerous times for more than 40 years of service and support of Rochster's Latino community. Fr. Tracy is well regarded for his work in social justice, peace activism, racial equality and workers' rights.
Fr. Tracy was one of the founders of the Bilingual Council of the Rochester City School District.
"Father Tracy is loved by the whole community because he is the only shepherd who has loved, cried and who fights for the Hispanic people," said Belen Colón, a parishioner of St. Michael's Church who has known the priest since 1966.
The Latino Rotary Club honored Fr. Tracy for his dedication to service by dedicating a garden to him outside St. Michael's. The Rochester City School District also presented him with the Community Pioneer Award during a Hispanic Heritage ceremony.
"He's lived in this community his whole life," said Diana Hernández, Rotary president. "He gives of himself. He is selfless. He has created a legacy that we want to keep alive."
But his service isn't isolated to Latinos; he helps all communities who are in need of advocacy, she said.
"He really has a heart for everyone," Hernández said. "He is a brother, a coach, a mentor, an organizer and a visionary."
Hon. Patricia D. Marks left the District Attorney's office in 1984 to become a Monroe County Court judge, where she served until her retirement in January 2011. Prior to her retirement, she served as the Supervising Judge of the Criminal Courts in the Seventh Judicial District.
Marks is the executive director of the Veterans Outreach Center and played a key role in establishing the Monroe County Mental Health Court in 2009.
She continues her service to community in a leadership role in her church and by volunteering. This summer, she hosted five visitors from the Ukraine to assist people in developing countries interested in our legal system as they strive to explore a democratic society.
Law enforcement groups, universities, local associations, and veteran's chapters have recognized Marks for her work.
She was honored in 2010 with the Excellence in Public Service Award from the New York State Bar Association, which recognizes individuals who demonstrate a higher calling in government through their commitment to service, honor and integrity in the public sector.
In 2012, Marks received the Woman of Distinction award by the New York State Senate.

CORTLAND, N.Y. – Sophomore wide receiver John Babin (Warwick Valley) caught 10 passes for 135 yards and three touchdowns and broke the school single-season record for touchdown receptions as Cortland defeated visiting William Paterson, 35-7, in a New Jersey Athletic Conference (NJAC) matchup.
Babin has 12 touchdown catches in seven games this fall for the Red Dragons (5-2 overall and NJAC). The previous school record of 10 scoring catches in a season was set by Eric Hajnos in 2009. In addition, Babin tied a school single-game record that he already held a part of with his three touchdown catches. Babin and Hajnos are now the only two players in school history to catch three touchdown passes in game twice.
Graduate student quarterback Dan Pitcher (Cortland) completed 20-of-32 passes for 262 yards and a career-high tying four touchdowns. He has now thrown a touchdown pass in nine straight games and 20 of his 21 games as Cortland's starting quarterback since 2009. Pitcher was 15-of-21 for 203 yards and three scores in the first half to help the Red Dragons take a 28-0 halftime lead.
Senior tailback Dorian Myles (Lackawanna/Hamburg) rushed for 120 yards on 21 carries. Senior tight end Brian Haber (Northport) caught three passes for 63 yards and a score and freshman Bronson Greene (Clifton Park/Shenendehowa) rushed for a touchdown.
William Paterson (2-5, 1-5 NJAC) scored its points on a Javon Hodges (Parlin, NJ/Sayreville War Memorial) 45-yard interception return with 11:49 left in the third quarter.
Cortland's defense limited the Pioneers to 93 yards of total offense, including 20 net rushing yards on 28 attempts. Junior linebacker Chris Bright (East Meadow) led Cortland with eight tackles, 1.5 for lost yardage, and a forced fumble. Senior linebacker Cody Allen (Medina) intercepted a pass that set up a Red Dragon touchdown drive and freshman linebacker Jesse Scanna (Holbrook/Sachem North) registered 1.5 sacks and two pass breakups. Junior Pete Furey (Niskayuna) averaged 41.0 yards per punt and pinned the Pioneers inside the 20-yard line on three of his four kicks.
William Paterson freshman quarterback Joe Salame (Lodi, NJ) finished 8-of-14 passing for 73 yards and Joe Muraglia (Belleville, NJ/Queen Peace) finished with three receptions. Junior safety German Decena (Union City, NJ/Emerson) and senior defensive back Doug Dudek (Rockaway, NJ/Morris Hills) led the Pioneers with 10 tackles each. Sophomore Cory Mundt (Rockaway Hills, NJ/Morris Hills) averaged 45.9 yards per punt on seven kicks.
Greene's 2-yard scoring run capped a 5-play, 71-yard drive midway through the first quarter to give Cortland a 7-0 lead. Babin caught 7-yard and 14-yard TD passes from Pitcher at the 11:23 and 10:02 marks, respectively, in the second quarter to extend the lead to 21-0 and Haber's 7-yard TD grab with 29 seconds left gave Cortland its 28-0 halftime advantage.
Hodges put the guests on the board with his 45-yard interception return, just diving inside the left pylon at the end of his run, with 11:49 left in the third quarter. Babin capped the scoring with a 32-yard just inside the right sideline of the end zone with 3:18 left in the third.
Cortland finished the game with 408 yards of total offense. The Red Dragons eclipsed the 400-yard mark for the sixth straight game, extending a school record.
Cortland will play its final regular-season home game next Saturday versus The College of New Jersey at 1 p.m. and William Paterson will host Morrisville State next Saturday at noon.
Babin's Big Receiving Day Leads Cortland Past William Paterson, 35-7

MP745, New March 2006
Editor's noteThe following abstract describes a publication that is intended for print distribution or as a downloadable PDF. Please see links to the PDF file and ordering information on this page.
Warnings from government agencies and public interest groups point out that the agricultural sector is at high risk of terrorist activity and specifically, that the U.S. food supply is vulnerable to the intentional introduction of pests, diseases, and abiotic (nonliving) disorders, including damage caused by fertilizers and chemicals.
Therefore, it is incumbent upon those in the agricultural sector to join national homeland security efforts by instituting comprehensive preparedness activities so that producers, family members, employees, and agricultural consultants know how to respond appropriately to a suspected biosecurity problem. However, agroterrorism is not the only threat to U.S. agricultural producers. Theft, vandalism, and natural disasters (e.g., tornadoes, floods, and fires) also create emergency situations for producers. For this reason, the underlying philosophy of this guide is that preparedness practices in plant biosecurity management will also facilitate rapid and appropriate responses to any emergency situation.
This guide will provide you with tools to:
Individuals involved in the agricultural sector must have the knowledge and skills to respond to emergencies in a timely and efficient manner. Preparedness is the key to knowing how to react calmly and appropriately to an emergency situation, avoiding lost time and costly mistakes. This guide describes twelve emergency management steps to help improve the preparedness of individuals living and working on your premises:

as i noted myself on the wings and eyes- i was exaggerating, for a lack of a better example.
it just seems to me that of all the possible mutations, even the fact that only "one" bacteria experienced the "correct" random mutation and adapted to nylon - is itself astonishing.
Doone, I still don't understand how this is possible? Out of that number above, 5 x 10 ^30 , that means only ONE bacterium out of that enormous number needs to have a random mutation which allows it to digest nylon?
It makes no sense. The odds are against the bacterium in every way.
(Just kidding doone and Wassabi!)
I just learned something ... I have trillions of little bacteria babies in my intestines. Yummy.
are you amazed by bacteria that do other things? Like live in our intestines or inside volcanoes and steam geysers? It seems that you are concerned with nylon as a synthetic substance and so has to be somehow different but as doone has already shown it is no more amazing than bacteria feeding on anything else, even if it is more unusual to us right now. Lots of nylon+being able to eat nylon=lots of baby bacteria.
As for kangaroos, we seem monkeys instictually cling to thier mother, all mammals instictively suckle. It doesnt seem like a stretch that at some point in the past a genetic mutation led to slightly more loose skin around kangaroo nipple which protected or cradled the joey. A trait that could be selected for over time since it led to better young survival. I have no idea if this is the proposed evolutionary path but you get the idea.
"a Unicorn simply designed it into the DNA 6k years ago, and we don't have to ask that question any more"
this was not an "intelligent design" question...
rather i was wondering something else.
is there such a thing as genetic memory? something that would explain how the roo "knows" where to go?
on one hand, we have instincts, on the other, if you take an animal grown in captivity and put it back in the wild, it will starve.
so which is it? genetic or taught by parents?
i have to tell you, you've probably been answering creationists for so long you can't tell the difference between a troll and a curious person...
please be a bit less haste when jumping to conclusions....
so which is it? genetic or taught by parents?
Hmm, now I detect sarcasm. I mean, no way it can be "taught", right? Perhaps I did misunderstand what you're looking for.
the answers i got here were satisfactory. a joey making his way to the mother's pouch is no more remarkable than chimps latching on to their mothers, or blind puppies making their way towards a mother's tit.
similarly, i've read that baby seagulls are attracted to the color orange, which directs them towards their mother's mouth.
i do wonder how this innate attraction developed in the first place.
because- no, i don' think you can teach it. it has to be an innate instinct.
how in the world would you teach a just now born joey towards the pouch? you can't. it has to be in there already. and it's curious how that might have developed.
and once again. I AM NOT A THEIST IN DISGUISE. i think i've written on this site long enough to show for it.

This Week in the Civil War
This Week in The Civil War, for week of Sunday, March 16: Freedom for African-Americans in Louisiana.
The New York Times reported on March 21 that African-Americans freed from the yoke of slavery by federal forces in control of New Orleans and the state of Louisiana consituted a "new success" for the Union government. The Times noted that many of those liberated by the advance of the federal army could not read or write previously. But in New Orleans alone, some 1,900 young African-Americans were already attending day schools and learning both reading and writing, according to the apper. The Times added that adults freed by the Union had also begun finding paid work. "Facts furnish the best proof of the success of any system; and, when we compare the condition of fifty thousand negroes in this State last year with their condition now, we need hardly allude to a thousand particulars," The Times said.
This Week in The Civil War, for week of Sunday, March, 23: Lincoln clarifies his 1863 Amnesty proclamation.
President Abraham Lincoln, on March 26, 1864, issued a proclamation refining his Proclamation of Amnesty and Reconstruction issued in December 1863. Originally, Lincoln had offered a full pardon to all who had engaged in rebellion but had desisted and subsequently sworn an oath of allegiance to the Union — with the exception of ranking Confederate leaders and military officers. He also had said a new state government could be formed in areas reclaimed by the Union once a tenth of eligible voters in those areas had taken such a loyalty oath. The initial proclamation came after federal forces had begun recapturing several areas of the Confederacy. With his new proclamation of March 1864, the president made clear that his 1863 amnesty did not apply to anyone under military or civil confinement, nor to prisoners of war and those detained for crimes of any sort. Lincoln wrote: "On the contrary, it does apply only to those persons who, being yet at large, and free from any arrest … shall voluntarily come forward and take the said oath, with the purpose of restoring peace and establishing the national authority."
This Week in The Civil War, for week of Sunday, March 30: Forrest's Confederate raiders occupy Paducah, Ky.
Forces of legendary Confederate cavalry leader Nathan Bedford Forrest swept into Paducah, Ky., on March 25, 1864 and briefly occupied the city — forcing a Union garrison of hundreds of troops to relocate to a fort there. The Union garrison, backed by two gunboats on the nearby Ohio River, refused surrender and shelling of the Confederates by the gunboats ensued. Forrest's raiders destroyed supplies and rounded up horses, generating panic among civilians before they withdrew. The Associated Press reported on the raid in a detailed dispatch dated March 26, 1864. AP said an estimated force of 5,000 Confederates captured Paducah at 2 p.m. a day earlier, sacking the place and firing weapons. AP reported that a Union officer in charge of the garrison occupied the fort below the city with about 800 men. "The rebels made four assaults on the fort, and were repulsed each time. Three of our gunboats opened on the city during its occupation by the enemy, much of which was burned," The AP reported. Some 3,000 civilians had fled the Confederate advance, AP noted, adding they returned home to considerable damages once the raiders pulled out. AP added "Twenty-five houses around the fort were destroyed .. as they were used by the rebel sharpshooters as a screen" during the incursion.
This Week in The Civil War, for week of Sunday, April 6: The Red River Campaign.
Union forces in the spring of 1864 launched a joint Army-Navy incursion up the Red River in a bid for control of western Louisiana and Arkansas. It would be the last major campaign by the Union's so-called Mississippi Squadron. The aim was to penetrate deep into the Confederacy and shut off a key Southern supply route from Texas. Thousands of Union soldiers marched inland from New Orleans toward northwest Louisiana with plans to join up with the naval fleet steaming upriver. The Union gunboats began gathering on the lower river in mid-March 1864 and moved upriver over coming weeks. But Union commanders encountered problems with low river levels and could only move 12 of their gunboats north of the falls near Alexandria, La. On April 8, 1864, Confederate forces under Maj. Gen. Richard Taylor attacked federal forces at the Battle of Mansfield in Louisiana. Though outnumbered, the Confederates assaulted Union fighters on two flanks, pushing them back until a fresh Union division met the Confederate attack. Attempts by the Union to regain momentum failed and federal forces under Maj. Gen. Nathaniel P. Banks were forced to retreat, ending the Red River Campaign and handing the Confederates a decisive strategic victory.

Wall Street steadied after a two-day plunge caused by news that the Federal Reserve was getting ready to wind down its massive bond-buying program by mid-2014.
Markets were a lot calmer Friday. The Dow Jones industrial average was down 24 points, or 0.2 percent, at 14,732 as of 11:24 a.m. Eastern Daylight Time. The Dow and other indexes were moving between small gains and losses in early trading.
The Dow plunged 560 points Wednesday through Thursday, wiping out its gains from May and June. The Fed's easy money policies have been a big driver behind the stock market's bull run the last four years. The plunge came just three weeks after the Dow hit a record high of 15,409.
The Standard & Poor's 500 index fell six points, or 0.4 percent, to 1,582 points. The S&P hit its own record high a month ago.
Kim Forrest, senior analyst with Fort Pitt Capital Group, a portfolio management firm in Pittsburgh, said the market had the "right reaction" to the news that the Fed would wind down its stimulus if the economy continues to improve, but the move may have been overblown.
"We're getting news that made the market uncomfortable," she said. "We shouldn't be sitting at these highs given the fact that the Fed signaled that someday it's going to take some liquidity off the table. So the reaction is right, the magnitude is probably a little off."
The yield on the 10-year Treasury note rose to 2.49 percent from 2.42 percent late Thursday. The yield has risen sharply since Wednesday as investors sold bonds in anticipation that the Fed would slow, and eventually end, its bond purchases.
The yield, which is a benchmark for interest rates on many kinds of loans including home mortgages, is at its highest level since August 2011. On Tuesday, the day before the Fed's announcement, it was 2.19 percent. It hit a low for the year of 1.63 percent on May 3.
Technology shares fell more than the rest of the market after business software maker Oracle reported disappointing earnings late Thursday. Oracle plunged $3.04, or 9 percent, to $30.17, the biggest drop in the S&P 500 index. Oracle is struggling to adapt as customers shift away from software installed on their own computers toward software that runs remotely.
Oracle's results are a poor omen for business spending on technology. Technology stocks in the S&P index fell 1 percent, the most of the 10 industry groups in the index.
The Nasdaq composite index, which is heavily weighted with technology stocks, fell 30 points, or 0.9 percent, to 3,333. Apple, the biggest stock in the index, fell $8.15, or 1.9 percent, to $408.75. Microsoft fell 26 cents, or 0.8 percent, to $33.23.
The price of gold recovered after plunging the day before. Gold was up $6.40, or 0.5 percent, to $1,292.40 an ounce. Crude oil fell $1.15, or 1.2 percent, to $94 a barrel in New York.
The dollar rose against other currencies as traders anticipated that U.S. interest rates would rise as the Fed winds down its bond purchases.
Among other stocks making big moves:
— Darden Restaurants, which runs Olive Garden and Red Lobster, fell $1.16, or 2.3 percent, to $50.07 after rising expenses hurt its fourth-quarter earnings.
— CarMax, which runs used car dealerships, reported that its first-quarter profit jumped 21 percent as sales rose. Its stock rose 63 cents or 1.4 percent, to $45.20.
A Fed policy statement and comments from Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke started the selling in stocks, bonds and commodities Wednesday. Bernanke said the Fed expects to scale back its bond-buying program later this year and end it by mid-2014 if the economy continues to improve. The bank has been buying $85 billion a month in Treasury and mortgage bonds, which has made borrowing cheap for consumers and businesses. The program has also encouraged investors to buy stocks instead of bonds.
The S&P 500 is still up 11.9 percent, for the year, not far from its full-year increase of 13.4 percent last year.
Overseas, Japan's Nikkei index rose 1.7 percent, but other Asian markets fell. European markets slipped. France's CAC-40 fell 0.3 percent and Germany's DAX fell 0.9 percent.

The CTTSO
Identify and develop capabilities to combat terrorism and irregular adversaries and to deliver these capabilities to DoD components and interagency partners through rapid research and development, advanced studies and technical innovation, and provision of support to U.S. military operations.
History and Organization
The Assistant Secretary of Defense for Special Operations/Low-Intensity Conflict (ASD SO/LIC) established CTTSO in 1999 to consolidate its research and development programs previously administered by the Office of the Assistant Secretary of Defense (Command, Control, Communications and Intelligence). The research and development effort that supports the interagency Technical Support Working Group (TSWG) was the first program to transition to CTTSO. The TSWG is divided into 10 subgroups, each chaired by senior representatives from federal agencies with special expertise in those functional areas. The Explosive Ordnance Disposal/Low-Intensity Conflict (EOD/LIC) Program, which develops advanced technologies for Joint Service EOD and Special Operations Forces (SOF) missions, transitioned in 2001. In 2007, the Irregular Warfare Support (IWS) Program was initiated to satisfy a growing need to improve the capacity of the United States to counter insurgencies and fight an irregular war. In FY16, portions of the EOD/LIC and IWS Programs that support the CTTSO mission were transitioned to TSWG under the Improvised Device Defeat/Explosives Countermeasures and Irregular Warfare and Evolving Threats Subgroups, respectively.
The CTTSO and Other Agencies
The Combating Terrorism Technical Support Office (CTTSO) is charged with providing a forum for interagency and international users to discuss mission requirements to combat terrorism, prioritize those requirements, fund and manage solutions, and deliver capabilities. The CTTSO accomplishes these objectives through rapid prototyping of novel solutions developed and field-tested before the traditional acquisition systems are fully engaged. This low-risk approach encourages interdepartmental and interagency collaboration, thereby reducing duplication, eliminating capability gaps, and stretching development dollars.

Detroit Privatization Needs a Tune-Up
Detroit Privatization Needs a Tune-Up
Imagine if you had to pay a million dollars to get your car's oil changed. If you're a Detroit taxpayer, that's exactly what it's costing you each year to provide oil for the city's 500 police cruisers.
Private garages change oil for around $30. At this price, the million dollars spent by Detroit's public works department, which performs the police oil changes, should buy each cruiser a new oil change about every six days.
Most cars require an oil change after 3000 miles. To need so many oil changes, Detroit's police cruisers must each travel 200,000 miles per year.
To do that, the 500 cars must all drive 23 miles per hour, 24 hours per day, seven days per week—without ever stopping to catch a criminal.
The police do catch criminals, so the explanation may be that Detroit's department of public works, with no competition for its oil changes, is less efficient and more costly than the private sector.
The city should let private firms compete for the oil change business. Doing so could not only save citizens hundreds of thousands of dollars each year, but help keep Detroit's police force rolling smoothly.
For the Mackinac Center, this is Joseph Lehman.

Before I tell you about Shakira the Siberian Husky, let me ask you: Have you had a good cry yet today? You know the kind of hearty sob session I'm talking about -- just the sort of unbridled boo-hoo-hoo you need at the end of a long Monday like this one. Well, anyway, if you haven't ... read this and weep, my friends. (In the best possible way!)
Because when Shakira disappeared from her Georgia home 5 years ago, her owners were afraid they would never, ever see her again. Even though Shakira had been outfitted with a $15 microchip which was supposed to prevent just this sort of thing from happening. (Unfortunately, workers at the Georgia animal shelter where Shakira originally showed up didn't find the microchip.) In fact, Shakira might have been euthanized at that shelter! Thankfully, Free Spirit Siberian Husky Rescue stepped in ...
Free Spirit had an adoption all set up for Shakira in Illinois -- but at the last minute, one of the workers found the microchip! HOORAY!!!
Can you imagine how Heather Jackson, Shakira's original owner back in Georgia, must have felt when she got the phone call?! So happy that she and her brother drove over 700 miles overnight to pick up the 6-year-old dog! Even though as soon as they got there, Jackson had to turn right back around and drive 14 hours straight so she could go to work.
Although I'm sure her 3 overjoyed children were more than happy to take over and shower Shakira with 5 years worth of hugs and kisses. Yay! Everybody's happy! The dog is back! (Are you crying?!)
What would you do if your lost dog suddenly turned up after 5 years?

How We Picked the Winners
Beauty brands sent us their best skin-care products for consideration. We focused on those products that made anti-aging claims on their packaging and came on the market after January 2007, looking for topical treatments in all price ranges that were sold in a variety of venues, including drugstores, department stores, and beauty specialty shops.
A crack team of prescreened the products. Good Housekeeping's beauty editors, Good Housekeeping Research Institute scientists, and five renowned dermatologists (our Anti-Aging Awards Advisory Board) inspected labels, debated ingredients, and sampled the latest lotions and potions before selecting the 90 most promising entries — those most likely to succeed — for our lab and consumer study.
Other magazines might have stopped here, but this is where our work really began:
We recruited 820 female volunteers, ages 35 and up, to participate in testing. Each treatment was distributed to at least 20 women, who used the product for the amount of time recommended on labels in order to see skin improvements.
We played fair: Product labels were covered with black electrical tape so volunteers wouldn't know what they were trying. Panelists were asked to stop using any other anti-aging skin-care products while they participated in the study; instead, GHRI dispensed standard moisturizers (with SPF 15 for day use) that didn't make claims beyond hydration. Before lab measurements or photos were taken, all volunteers had to remove their makeup and have their skin conditioned in a humidity chamber set to 70 degrees Fahrenheit and 40 percent relative humidity.
The chemists and biologists in our Beauty Lab assessed the condition of our volunteers' skin using state-of-the-art equipment. These tools of the beauty trade included a Visia Complexion Analyzer that electronically counts wrinkles and age spots, examines skin's texture, and exposes UV damage before it appears on the skin's surface; a Cutometer to measure changes in skin firmness; a Chroma Meter to take color readings on age spots and red patches; and a Corneometer to measure the moisturizing efficacy of lotions and creams.
Volunteers filled out a standard questionnaire for each product tested, providing feedback on everything from the formula's effectiveness to its scent and ease of use. Hundreds of off-site testers from around the country also answered our questions but did not participate in the lab tests.
After 18 months of research we tallied the lab and consumer data and found our winners, at last!
For a behind-the-scenes look at the testing, check out our video:
Meet (and Heed) Our Experts
The Good Housekeeping Research Institute scientists were the brains and brawn behind this massive undertaking. They designed the studies, recruited the volunteers, compiled the questionnaires, oversaw the lab research, wrote the reports — and picked up some terrific beauty tips along the way.
Birnur K. Aral, Ph.D., health, beauty & environmental sciences director
Aha moment: "In analyzing the Visia images for the anti-aging serum study, I was shocked to see that the most striking results were obtained with women 60+. One 80-year-old subject will, in my opinion, make for the best 'before' and 'after' pairing ever. Now I will definitely add the winning serums to my routine."
Charmaine A. Gillespie, chemist
New product obsession: "Consumers liked Chanel Ultra Correction Lift Lifting Firming Day Cream SPF 15 ($150, department stores) so much that I am convinced I need to try it. This project also upped my concern for sun protection. Through Visia evaluations, I've seen people with darker skin who have a lot of UV damage."
Mary E. McConnell, product analyst
Testing trials: "The toughest part was keeping track of everyone! We had more than 1,800 consumer questionnaires to enter in the computer. Plus, we must have gone through at least 100 rolls of electrical tape to cover up product labels."
Our Anti-Aging Awards Advisory Board previewed the products and provided valuable expertise.

Acknowledging that comprehensive immigration reform in the U.S. is a longshot at best, Irish Foreign Minister Eamon Gilmore says the Irish government is exploring new options for securing a future stream of visas that would allow for legal immigration to the U.S. from Ireland.
Gilmore was in New York last week for meetings at the United Nations and with members of the Irish American community. During a press briefing at the Irish Consulate on Friday evening, he admitted that his government, in office since February, is working diligently behind the scenes on the immigration issue.
"We are concentrating our efforts on securing an E-3 visa. These discussions are continuing and we are pursuing that," said Gilmore, referencing the annual 10,500 E-3 visas that are available exclusively to citizens of Australia which allow for indefinite employment in the U.S.
But Gilmore said the government is looking at "other approaches" as well.

US Homeland Security focuses on undocumented who overstay their visas
"It seems to me that the whole issue has been log-jammed for a long time," he said. "We are looking at new approaches, and we are discussing that with our diplomatic staff here."
Gilmore would not reveal specifics about a new Irish government strategy on U.S. immigration for its citizens, but he vowed a serious effort.
"We are looking at every possible variation you can think of to see if we can secure additional visas for Irish people to come to the U.S.," he said.
Gilmore also said that both himself and Irish Taoiseach (Prime Minister) Enda Kenny raised the issue of Irish immigration to the U.S. with President Obama during this year's St. Patrick's celebrations at the White House, and that Irish diplomats in Washington, D.C. are in continuous discussions with Capitol Hill leaders about the matter.
As far as the undocumented currently in the U.S., Gilmore says the government has not and will not forget them.
"Their difficulties are of great concern and we are continuing to work on it," he says.
The foreign minister, who is also the Irish tanaiste (deputy prime minister), met with a number of Irish immigration groups during his time in New York, including the Irish Lobby for Immigration Reform, the Emerald Isle Immigration Center and the Coalition of Irish Immigration Centers (CIIC) in the U.S.
CIIC President Siobhan Dennehy said of the meeting with Gilmore, "Lack of immigration status is the basis for most of the workload of the Irish centers across the country. Undocumented Irish immigrants suffer many social issues as a result of living life in the shadows including depression, drug and alcohol abuse, family issues, detentions, deportations and long-term imprisonment.
"The CIIC appreciates the Irish government's continued support of the services provided by our member centers to the undocumented Irish and the government's continued work on their behalf."
Meanwhile, Gilmore spoke to the press on a number of areas, including the candidacy of Sinn Fein's Martin McGuinness for the Irish presidency.
McGuinness, a former leader in the IRA, is entitled to run, Gilmore says, but as leader of the Irish Labor party he is focused on his own candidate, Michael D. Higgins.
"I'm not going to enter at all into comments about other candidates," Gilmore said, even though McGuinness – and his controversial past in the IRA – has attracted a huge amount of attention.
"Voters will look at which candidate is best placed to be the guarantor of our constitution, to be a unifier of the Irish people, and someone they can be proud of to represent the Irish abroad. I believe that is our candidate," he said.
Gilmore also said that the government is committed to having a constitutional convention on the issue on extending voting rights to Irish immigrants living abroad.
"We've set ourselves the objective of having that completed by the anniversary of the 1916 rising," he said.
With regards to the United Nations, Gilmore applauded Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas for calling on the world body to recognize a Palestinian state during his speech last week in front of the UN General Assembly.
"I think it is entirely fitting and appropriate that President Abbas brings his case to the UN," Gilmore said.
"That's what the UN is for, and that's the first place that it should be brought to. Ireland's view is that we support the right of the Palestinian people to a state. They have as much of a right to a state as the people of Ireland."

From what I hae been able to gather on forums such as Candlepower.com & forums.mtbr.com the risk while real, it is low and it seems that this is often caused by the battery being overcharged by being left on after it is fully charged.
Interesting stuff - thanks for the info
I have 2 batteries
Charged 1 x abt 8 hrs last night
Left the other to charge today from 6am till I got home at 6pm - so 12 hrs
I've had these for over 12 months now and I've never had a problem...but I understand what you are saying
I use them every weekday (With front and rear plugged in on a y adapter) and most weekends - average about 12 hrs a week on them
They certainly have been value for money
I still have a third Battery that I have NEVER USED !!!

Undocumented immediate relatives of American citizens seeking permanent resident status in the U.S. will find the legalization process less onerous thanks to a new rule announced by the Department of Homeland Security this week that will allow them to apply for a necessary inadmissibility waiver while still in the U.S. instead of abroad.
The waiver can take many months to be approved, and up until now the prospective immigrantwould have to wait for approval while outside the U.S, away from the U.S. citizen sponsor. While the green card candidate will still have to travel to a U.S. consular post abroad for a final interview, having the waiver cleared while still here will save time and help to keep families together.
"This final rule facilitates the legal immigration process and reduces the amount of time that U.S. citizens are separated from their immediate relatives who are in the process of obtaining an immigrant visa," Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano said in a statement.
"The law is designed to avoid extreme hardship to U.S. citizens, which is precisely what this rule achieves," added Alejandro Mayorkas, director of the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Service.
"The change will have a significant impact on American families by greatly reducing the time family members are separated from those they rely upon."
Those who will benefit from the new rule are immediate family members of U.S. citizens - spouses, parents and minor children under 21. Those who are not eligible to utilize a process known as adjustment of status, which allows for waiver application and interview in the U.S, will now be able to apply for a provisional unlawful presence waiver while in the U.S.
USCIS says the applicant must be an immediate relative of a U.S. citizen, inadmissible only on account of unlawful presence, and demonstrate the denial of the waiver would result in extreme hardship to his or her U.S. citizen spouse or parent.
Individuals who have accrued more than six months of unlawful presence while in the U.S. must obtain a waiver to overcome the unlawful presence inadmissibility bar before they can return to the U.S. after departing to obtain an immigrant visa.
The new rules come into effect on March 4.

Thanksgiving can sometimes seem gluttonous and maybe you don't want to spend your day overeating and drinking. Never fret, however there are great and charitable events you could attend instead. In case you want a break from the loud family chatter, the mounds of food, and the holiday shopping sales, you might want to take look at this list. There other ways to celebrate the holiday that reminds us of our gratitude for all we have.
Turkey Trots: All over the country, in most cities there are marathons on Thanksgiving Day and many of them are to raise awareness or money for a charitable causes. For instance Boston has its annual 5K Road Race to benefit the Central New England Chapter of the MS Society. There are hundreds of these Trots all over the country. Find one near you on this helpful Turkey Trot website, which lists local races as well as helpful running tips.
Turkey Day Rides: If running is just not your style, there are also hundreds of Turkey Day Bike Rides. Before feasting upon a meal, burn some extra calories while promoting alternative transportation and raising money! For example, Milwaukee hosts its annual 2 hour ride which is free to the public. Sacramento, CA also hosts a huge Turkey Day Ride, it is in its 23rd year. It's a family event and people of all ages are welcome and is followed by a feast. The ride is really underground and grassroots and proceeds go to local and national charities. Guaranteed your town has a local ride as well and you can find many on your local bicycle associations.
Charity Yoga: Maybe runs and bike rides have a little too much cardio action. If you are looking for a little something more relaxing and soul soothing way to spend your holiday check out charity Yoga. Tacoma, WA hosts such an event.

The Blackhawks had all kinds of airplane trouble trying to get back to Chicago on Sunday after Game 5 in Arizona.
They had won the night before to extend their first-round series against the Phoenix Coyotes. They couldn't wait to get home to extend the series again to a win-or-die Game 7. Then they endured six hours of flight delays.
Please return your momemtum to its locked and upright position.
It's a bad sign. At least, it's a bad sign if you believe in cockamamie foretelling methods such as omens, ESP and Mike Quade's interim record.
Even if you don't believe any of that nonsense, there are unforgiving numbers that argue the Hawks should've stayed in Arizona. They should've volunteered to play Game 6 in Jobing.com Arena. Game 7, too, and pass the SPF 45.
That's the only place the Hawks have won during this series. They took Games 2 and 5 --- in overtime, of course --- which gave them two of three on Coyotes ice. They have lost the only two games played in the United Center. Heck, they have lost every game in the United Center when the Coyotes have shown up at any point his season. Madhouse, indeed.
This is a not the time to be the home team, and that goes for the entire NHL. These Stanley Cup playoffs are all about the road team.
In this series, the home team is 1-4. The Kings just eliminated the Canucks --- standing ovation --- by winning three games in Vancouver, making that another series in which the home teams went 1-4. In all, home teams are 16-23 in the first round. That's a .410 winning percentage, a stunning drop from the .551 winning percentage they posted during the regular season.
On Sunday, the road teams won two of three games, both in overtime, and here's something else for you: Road teams are 10-3 in overtime this postseason.
There's no place like home --- no more miserable place, that is.
The question is why. The answer is not necessarily good for the Hawks.
The game plan for visiting teams, see, is pretty basic. First, withstand the initial assault by the jacked-up home team. Second, keep it simple by chipping the puck in and chipping it out. Third, frustrate the home team into mistakes because the local heroes inevitably hear fans grumbling or even booing, and even if they don't, players on the home team feel the need to entertain, which leads to mistakes, which leads to an early summer.
Road teams want to bore you, and there's nothing more boring in these playoffs than the Coyotes, unless it's Gary Bettman trying to justify the lobotomized decision not to suspend Shea Weber.
Knowing the Coyotes' strategy is one thing. Finding a way to counter home-ice disadvantage is another. The Hawks could kneecap Mikkel Boedker walking down the United Center hallway. They could score on their power play. They could Mapquest the Coyotes' crease to find the most direct route and to prove to themselves that it actually exists and in fact they can get there from here.
But there also something that Hawks fans can do. I have a plan because, after all, I'm a pleaser, not a teaser. I have an idea for fans that might help the Hawks take Game 6, and it has nothing to do with putting out an APB for Patrick Sharp. Nope, this is about the fans' making the United Center look like Sweet Home, Glendale.
Hawks fans should organize their own "whiteout.''
You saw what the Coyotes fans looked like: all white shirts and sweaters, a tradition that goes back to when the franchise was stuck in godforsaken Winnipeg, which has about four frost-free days a year and topped Buffalo in a poll as North America's hemorrhoid. I can't remember who sponsored that survey. Use the Google-O-Matic thingy to find out. Or maybe I just made that up.
Whatever, that's when the Hawks have won their games --- under "whiteout'' conditions. They can't get anything done in the ring of red that has been the United Center. The red ring has been a white flag.
It's simple, Hawks fans: You own white sweaters with the Indianhead crest, so wear 'em.
Are you telling me Chicago can't do "whiteout'' better than the lizard-looking, cacti-hugging Coyokels?
Hey, if teams can resort to staying at hotels before home games to break such bad spells, then fans can chip in, too. What's more, it also gives you a chance to break out another piece of your Toews-centric, Kane-inspired, Hossa-tinged wardrobe. Don't listen to the fashionistas about what they're showing this spring. Make your own trend: a bright new style called Home Victory.
If you're superstitious, it hasn't been working, pal. If you're not superstitious, it can't hurt. Wear the white sweater tonight. Don't think of it as copying the other guys. Think of it as the greatest kind of warfare tactic: turning an opponent's strength into a weakness.
And besides, you can still boo the snot out of Mike Smith.
