Child Fatally Struck
MADISON, Wis. (AP) – A 1-year-old girl struck by a vehicle on a Madison street has died of her injuries. Police say the girl was in a wheelchair which her mother was using as a stroller when she rolled down an embankment and onto East Washington Ave. about 3:30 a.m. Thursday. The child was taken to the hospital where she was pronounced dead. Authorities say the driver who hit the girl remained at the scene and is cooperating.

This year, your second grader's language skills will grow exponentially. Simple sentences grow into compound sentences and descriptive words take your child's writing to the next level. While the Common Core Standards are rigorous — young writers are expected to use information from "provided sources" to answer questions and to conduct "shared research and writing projects" — remember that this year your child will be building skills in gradual, steady progression, starting with a new facility with words.
So long, "invented spelling"?
All that sounding-it-out practice is about to pay off! After years of rhyming and practicing high-frequency and sight words, your child has learned a lot more than you may realize about the rules of spelling — and this year she'll show you exactly what she's learned.
Gone, for the most part, are the phonetic spellings with missing vowels between consonants — "ct" for cat and "becs" for because, for example — that characterize "invented spelling." Instead, your child will learn to correctly use and spell irregular plural nouns (e.g. mice and feet) and the past tense of irregular verbs (e.g. hid, sat, told). She will begin to understand the concept of root words and how a word's meaning can be modified by adding a prefix (e.g. happy/unhappy) or suffix (e.g. clear/clearly) and how words can be combined to create compound words (e.g. lamppost and playground).
Your child will also more easily recognize tricky spelling patterns (think cage versus badge and boy versus boil) because of all the work she's done to learn phonemes and the conventions of spelling. But now when your second grader is confronted with a new word, in addition to using root words and context to figure out what it means, expect your child to look it up! This year, both dictionaries and glossaries become common tools of the writing trade. You'll find your child challenged to use both regularly — especially for weekly spelling tests. (See our weekly second grade spelling lists for examples.)
3 types of writing in second grade
Under the Common Core Standards, second graders should build on the three kinds of writing they've been improving on since kindergarten: opinion, informative, and narrative writing. Opinion and informative writing will likely start with kids reading one or more books and responding to what they've learned. In an opinion piece, your child should introduce his topic clearly, state his opinion about that topic, give a few reasons to support his opinion using linking words (e.g. because, and, also) to connect his evidence to his opinion, and then write a full sentence or a few sentences to conclude his opinion. In informative writing, your child should introduce his topic clearly, use facts and other information — such as definitions — to write a few clear, well thought-out points about his topic, and then write one or more sentences in conclusion.
Writing a narrative is essentially telling a story, and your child's story may be inspired by books, experiences, or pure imagination. Your second grader's story should describe an event — or a series of events — using details to describe the characters' actions, thoughts, and feelings. In addition to careful use of descriptive verbs, adjectives, and adverbs, your second grader should use sentence order, verb tense, and temporal words (e.g. after, following, later) to clearly put the events in order. At the end of a second grader's narrative writing, there should be some sense of the story coming to a close. (Hint: not just by tacking on "The End.")
Check out these three real examples of good second grade informational writing:
•"1,000 ways to save water!"
•"Lots of ways to save wate!"
•"Ways to save water"
See what second grade writing looks like
bttr, better, best!
Strong writing means not rushing into writing — and not stopping after the first draft. It's a lesson your second grader is likely to learn through experience this year. Don't be surprised to see your child spending more time on a single piece of writing — prewriting, creating a first draft, revising, and editing.
Writing begins with learning. Collectively called prewriting, this first step involves reading and processing new information and ideas, taking notes, organizing their thoughts, discussing what they've learned, and, often, rereading and looking for additional sources. Once a first draft is turned in, the teacher or other students will go over it with your child. They may ask questions about the work to elicit details or facts that could be added or clarified, prompt your child to find more information, make sure your child's word choices convey what she means, make sure there's an introduction and a conclusion, and help organize the order of events in the story. Using all these questions and suggestions as guidance, your child will do a revision — adding, reordering, and refining the draft.
After one or more revisions, the teacher will likely help your child with the final edit — focusing on spelling and grammar, capitalizing proper nouns, making sure nouns and verbs are in agreement, and checking that periods and question marks are used correctly. These steps — prewriting, doing a first draft, revising one or more drafts, and editing the final piece — help second graders learn that gathering and recalling information, organizing their thoughts, strengthening and clarifying their ideas, and improving grammar and presentation are all essential to the writing process.
When your child is working on a writing assignment at home, it may be tempting to correct spelling and grammar errors or make other suggestions, but it's a good idea to talk to the teacher before you jump in. She may prefer to see your student's unvarnished effort so she can work with your child to get it right as part of the learning process.

Research and sources and publishing, oh my!
Reading a series of books about wetlands and writing a report. Answering questions about habitats by recalling information from a specific book. Recording observations about an experiment. Sound like second grade writing? Under the Common Core Standards, kids learn to do research with the careful guidance and support of their teacher and peers. Together, second graders will learn to gather information and draw on what they've done in class to answer questions and deepen their understanding of a topic. In their writing, this means that kids will learn to pull information from provided books, websites, class presentations, and other sources to form their opinions, arguments, and narratives.
Working with peers is a skill emphasized in the Common Core Standards, so your child will likely work on at least one group project. She'll also be expected to give other students feedback to improve their writing drafts by adding details or facts and making sure information is presented in the correct order. The standards also call for students to work together and with the teacher to "use a variety of digital tools to produce and publish writing." In some cases this may mean typing and printing a report — but don't be surprised if your second grader's work is published as part of a class blog!
What how second graders research and discuss a topic
Second grade G & P
What are G&P? Why, grammar and punctuation of course! Second graders learn to use handy new language tools this year — starting with apostrophes to show possession (e.g. Matt's dog) and create common contractions (e.g. isn't and don't), commas for greetings and closings when writing letters (e.g. Dear Mom, and Love, Isla), and capitalizing the first letters of holidays, products, and geographic names.
Your child should also learn to use new and increasingly precise words to express herself, including collective nouns (e.g. the group, the class), reflexive pronouns (e.g. myself, ourselves), and adjectives and adverbs to add detail in their writing. But adding detail isn't enough: your second grader needs to learn how adjectives and adverbs are different and choose between them based on what they're modifying (e.g. "The small horse ran quickly" – the adjective small modifies the noun — horse — and the adverb quickly modifies the action — ran.)
To put these tools to the test, your second grader will be challenged to write — and rewrite — simple and compound sentences to show what she's learned about language, grammar, and structure.

What about the big H?
Despite what you may have heard, the Common Core Standards don't do away with handwriting — but neither do they spell out specific benchmarks beyond printing the alphabet in kindergarten and first grade. The standards acknowledge that your child still needs to know how to write legibly — and that means penmanship matters. The standards also say that, with assistance from a teacher, kids need to use digital tools to produce and publish their work, but no specific typing skills are outlined until third grade. What does this mean for handwriting, cursive, and typing? Schools will handle this differently, so it's a great question to ask your child's teacher.
Updated November 2013 to align with the Common Core Standards

My little lactivore is 14 months ( can't believe we've made it this far) and is nursing around 8-10 times a day when I'm home all day (this is down from 10-12 times a day a couple months ago). He is in daycare 3x a week while I'm at work and I send 13-15 ounces (whatever I pump at work) for the day. He is pretty hit or miss with solids. He always eats breakfast, lunch, dinner, and a couple small snacks. Sometimes he eats more than my husband during a meal, but sometimes he just picks at his food a little bit and wants to go play after a few bites. He is anemic and on an iron supplement. He gets constipated easily, even without the supplement, but does not seem to be in pain from it. Because of the anemia and constipation, I am reluctant to introduce cow's milk just yet (although I will eventually as this is what the rest of us in the house drink).
I absolutely love nursing my little guy, but I'm feeling a little drained lately. I'm thinking about dropping a pumping session.* Do you think it is okay if I send 10ish ounces and have him take water with his lunch, even though he doesn't always eat well? He usually nurses once overnight, once in the morning, and 2-3x from the time we get home to the time he goes to bed. I've seen that technically he should be okay without expressed milk if he is nursing 3-4x at home, but I doubt that would be sufficient for him. He will nurse all. night. long if he doesn't get what he deems enough milk during the day, and I would rather pump during the few days I work than stay up all night to nurse.
He's been working on his first set of molars since he turned 12 months. I think the last molar is about to cut through, and I can already see his canine teeth bulging around the gum line. I don't feel like I should start setting limits on nursing while he is teething, but eventually I would like to ease up on some of the nursing sessions a little bit. I think that this may happen naturally because he does cut down on nursing a little bit in between each tooth eruption, so maybe I'm worrying prematurely. Plus, cutting out one pumping session may be enough to rejuvenate me. However, I'm tired enough right now that I'm just looking for a light at the end of the tunnel. I'm curious how long some of you have continued to nurse on demand, and at what age you started to set some limits on nursing?
Sorry this is so long and rambly. Did I mention I'm tired?
Thanks in advance for any advice or encouragement!

Google Fiber Captivates Kansas City
Survey finds 60% of qualified population interested in Google Fiber's high-speed Internet and multi-channel video products
1 Gbps for $70/mo. or 30 Mbps for free portend to be disruptive forces in a mature cable, telco and satellite marketplace
Jan 07, 2013, 03:00 ET
LOS ANGELES, Jan. 7, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Google's brand recognition, along with the prospect of higher Internet speeds, has enticed 30 percent of possible subscribers in its Kansas City metro area footprint, coined "fiberhoods," to pay a $10 pre-registration fee, according to original research from Ideas & Solutions! Inc. (http://www.ideasolutions.com)
In addition to those pre-registrants, the "Google Fiber Matters: Consumer Demand Study" found another 30 percent of the qualified population expressing interest in Google Fiber's high-speed Internet and video offerings.
"Google Fiber has conducted a remarkable marketing campaign," said Glen Friedman, president of Ideas & Solutions! Inc. "Historically, pay TV 'overbuilders' penetrate about one-third of their marketplace over time. This level of interest in the beginning is unprecedented. For Google Fiber, the challenge moving forward is to do an equally good job on the fulfillment."
The Internet giant employed a host of measured marketing tactics in Kansas City beyond the usual advertising and news coverage. Google and Google Fiber used their online advertising juggernaut, together with social media; they also hosted local promotional events planned by neighborhood organizers, opened a Google Fiber store, operated a Google ice cream truck and planted yard signs.
Google's marketing efforts paid off with a positive perception among subscriber prospects. The study measured 11 brand attributes comparing Google with the incumbent pay TV operators in the Kansas City fiberhoods. Survey results showed Google Fiber surpassing the incumbents across all 11 attributes. Even its weakest brand attribute - consumer privacy protection - scored higher than that of the pay TV operators, collectively. Nearly 60 percent of respondents trusted Google with their privacy, while only about 40 percent trusted their pay TV operators. This, despite the fact that parent company Google has had to defend itself in the past on privacy issues.
In other brand comparisons, Google Fiber whipped the competition. When asked about new largely IP-based TV applications on devices, about 88 percent of respondents selected Google Fiber as the better provider, compared to 12 percent who favored the incumbent. And in terms of cloud-based services, 90 percent of respondents picked Google, compared to 10 percent for the existing pay TV operators.
The survey data reflects that consumers associate parent company Google with the Internet and therefore are more accepting of Internet-related services from Google Fiber than from their pay TV providers.
"The downside to such high expectations is living up to them," said Friedman. "It's not easy to deliver and maintain a high standard of customer service and customer experience. Although Google Fiber ranks higher than the incumbents in 11 areas of branding, the company is unproven in its ability to deliver and fulfill a complex Internet and video service offering."
One specific area measured where the existing pay TV operators have some advantage is with video. A key reason for consumers not making the switch to Google Fiber is concern they won't receive all their favorite channels. Of the survey respondents who have paid the pre-registration fee, 40 percent intend to get broadband services from Google Fiber but take pay TV services from another company.
When it comes to video, the incumbents have the advantage of long-standing programming relationships. Unfortunately, video is their lower-margin product and Internet is their higher-margin product, making any erosion of their Internet subscriber base especially problematic. With its strong marketing, Google Fiber has gotten the attention of Internet subscribers. It will now be up to the incumbents to strategize their response.
Study Methodology: A total of 1,303 interviews were fielded. From Oct. 19 to Nov. 4, 2012 - a few weeks just prior to Google Fiber's first customer installations - 532 online interviews were completed among Kansas City fiberhoods with adults 18-74 years of age. An additional 771 online interviews were conducted nationwide, for benchmarking purposes, among adults age 18-74, Oct. 19 to Nov. 12, 2012. The survey instrument averaged 15 to 25 minutes in length, depending on the number of pay TV subscription services and electronic devices utilized by survey respondents.

In 2002, a French Stock Exchange Regulatory Authority (Commission des Operations de Bourse – COB) investigation revealed alleged manipulations in an open-ended collective investment scheme, aka SICAV, an acronym in French for "Societe d'Investissement A Capital Variable", translated as "investment company with variable capital", which was managed by Financiere Rembrandt, founded by Cyril Vernes – nephew of the late Jean-Marc Vernes.
Further, the COB came across curious movements of funds between France and Luxembourg, amounting to billions of francs. The technique used consisted in renting a "delocalized screen", which according to one investigator "allowed one to place orders from a Parisian computer as if they were in Luxembourg". In addition to this tax evasion, there was a large amount of traffic on security bonds issued by the French State, which most agreed to be an extremely complex financial manipulation.
In a decision dated 12th February 2002, the Securities and Exchange Commission (COB) inflicted a lifetime ban on Cyril Vernes, Chairman of Financiere Rembrandt at that time, from exercising financial management activities and services for third-parties. Through a decision dated 28th December 2005, the French Council of State (Conseil d'Etat), acting in its proceedings, dismissed the appeal brought by Cyril Vernes against the decision to impose such sanctions.
This ban was confirmed by a judgment identified as Vernes v. France no. 30183/06 of 20th January 2011 (final on 20 April 2011), by the European Court of Human Rights (ECHR), which was seized of this procedure, but found that there had been a three-fold violation of Article 6 § 1 of the Convention.
According to the ECHR, these violations resulted from the impossibility for Mr Vernes to request public hearings before the COB, his inability to know the identity of the persons composing the formation of the COB who had imposed the sanction, and of the presence of the government commissioner in the deliberations of the formation of the judgment which pronounced itself on his appeal to the Council of State.
Further appeals to the Council of State did not change the original decision made by the COB since the irregularities identified by the ECHR concerned procedural rights rather than substantive rights and the finding of violations.
So, until any future favorable decisions to his favor and while being banned for financial fraud, Cyril Vernes is not permitted to exercise financial management activities or services for third-parties in France and probably anywhere else in Europe, but…
Welcome to Lyford International Bank and Trust…
The new bank, Lyford International Bank & Trust (formally Hottinger Bank and Trust Limited), of which Cyril Vernes is now the chairman, is based in Nassau, Bahamas. In this venture, Cyril Vernes is associated with another well-known figure in Swiss private banking sector and businessman, Frederic Hottinger, as well as with a few others including Elo Rozencwajg, Heather L. Thomson and James Weir stated as board members.
As for the activities of the bank, the Lyford International Bank & Trust Web site states the following:
"Lyford International Bank and Trust, formerly the Hottinger Bank, was established in 1996, and resides and operates entirely under the regulatory and legal framework of The Bahamas. Situated in the lovely Lyford Cay area of Nassau, we continue the tradition of bespoke private banking, holding true to the renowned service-principals of our ancestry – excellence, privacy, and courtesy. We weigh our financial management success and expertise in centuries and draw on a heritage and reputation derived from two distinguished Swiss banking families, Vernes and Hottinger."
The other Swiss banking family
It is interesting here to note that Frederic Hottinger was previously associated with a now bankrupt Swiss bank, Hottinger & Cie. In 2012 the FINMA ordered the Swiss bank to be closed due to insufficient funds. According to press reports at that time, Hottinger & Cie lost an estimated total of over 24 Million Swiss Francs is two distinct frauds:
The first fraud concerned Lugano, of which 51% was owned by late Henri Hottinger, Frederic Hottinger 's father. This issue ended up giving a certain Mr Z. prison term in Italy. Mr Z. was suspected to have used 10 million Euros from funds of a foundation in charge of the maintenance of churches in Italy to build supermarkets which resulted in significant losses. The investigators also found traces to the Neapolitan underground behind Mr Z.
The second fraud would have cost the Hottinger & Cie bank an estimate of 5 million Swiss francs, namely the embezzlement of customer funds committed by an active manager at Hottinger & Partners in Geneva.
In the end, there was an estimated total loss of 24 million Swiss francs for Hottinger & Cie.
The Swiss bank Hottinger & Cie collapsed as a result of a triple effect. First, its operating costs were too high. In Zurich, the bank rented a six-story building, while it occupied only one and a half floors. Secondly, it employed 55 as staff, which is a large number in relation to the mass of funds it had under management. Indeed, the mass of funds under management had dropped from 4 to 1.5 billion Swiss francs over the latter 5 years of the bank's existence. Thirdly, the impact of the two proceedings which already had cost the bank 5 million Swiss francs and would have still cost 10 million more at the end of the procedures if it was to continue. This would be in addition to the cost of attorneys' fees and the arbitration.
To wind this story up, the Lyford International Bank & Trust Web site states: "We weigh our financial management success and expertise in centuries and draw on a heritage and reputation derived from two distinguished Swiss banking families, Vernes and Hottinger". What financial management success and expertise are they talking about?

The Sony Honami is getting quite a bit of attention even among US phone enthusiasts, who have little experience with Sony devices. We don't get many Sony phones here, and those we do get are often very late to the market. Luckily, we have the Sony Xperia Z, even if it is exclusive to one carrier.
This latest leak is a teaser for the conference in Berlin, taking place on September 4th. At first, the image just looks like a purple stripe. But looking closer, it's actually a device in purple. The power button is visible, but the edges are rounder than the Xperia Z. It looks to be the rumored Honami, which has been leaked before. And it looks like it'll come in purple, just like the Xperia Z.
A system dump from the Honami was also leaked previously, and someone has posted a video of the software running on his Xperia Z. It looks like Sony has put quite a lot of time into the software, because it looks far better than other Sony ROMs. The animations are fancy and pleasant, the design is Holo-ish but good looking, and the camera app is feature packed. It's probably a very early build, and modified by a ROM dev, but it still gives us a good look at what may come on the Honami.
The device is rumored to launch with a 5-inch 1080p "Triluminos" display, the X-reality engine (the successor to the Bravia engine), a 2.2GHz Snapdragon 800 quad core processor, 2GB of RAM, 16GB of storage with a microSD slot, and the 20.7 megapixel camera with the G-lens and BIONZ image processor. And just like the Xperia Z, it'll be dustproof and water resistant. It sounds very impressive, so we can't wait for the announcement. What do you think of this device?

Healthy grab-able breakfast stuff
If you read my other thread about looking for healthier dinners, you probably know what I'm after. DH is a very unhealthy eater. He never eats breakfast during the week, lunch is usually whatever he grabs at a convenience store if he eats at all. Then he comes home and inhales anything in front of him when he gets home around 5. He's barely hungry for dinner, then eats junk again right before bed. I've already started with healthier dinners, but now I need him eating better the rest of the day.
He doesn't like to eat first thing in the morning, so breakfast needs to go with him (he leaves for work at 4:30). He's a truck driver, so there's no fridge or microwave. I'm trying to find a variety of things I can prep/bake/freeze/whatever ahead of time so he can grab a few things to eat throughout the day. Maybe hearty muffins, protein bars, etc. The two biggest concerns for him are minimizing cholesterol and sodium. I'll have veggie sticks and fruit available for him too.

Re: Healthy grab-able breakfast stuff
there are some great recipies out there for making your own protein bars if you google it. I have seen some that look super yummy though I havent yet gotten around to trying it myself. Those would be decent for breakfast or snack.
Another healthy snack option is homemade fruit leather. I have done this before. Puree fruit, line an edged cookie sheet with wax paper or plastic wrap, pour the puree in, and put in the oven (about 150-200 degrees) with the door cracked for several hours... It acts as kind of a dehydrator if you dont have one. It wont melt the liner either. Onces its done, peel it off and cut.
How about trail mix with lots of nuts, granola and dried fruit? maybe even a few m&m's. As few is better than a ton of junk food right?
For breakfast, what about oatmeal in a thermos or even making a big batch of breakfast burritos to freeze, and thaw one out the night before... pop in in the micorwave before he leaves then put it in a thermos? It should keep it warm for a few hours That way he can just open the thermos and hold it to eat while he is driving.

Re: Healthy grab-able breakfast stuff
You can make refrigerator oatmeal, homemade larabars(does not have any added sugar or salt), paleo waffles(they have higher protein content and no extra sugar) then you can just put peanut butter or nutella on them, hard boiled eggs, egg loafs(can be frozen), trail mix, premade egg mcmuffins, muffins(freeze large batches and take out the night before). If you go to www.thefoodee.com they have some good recipes that are good for you too. We follow the whole9 diet so we use that site a lot.

Re: Healthy grab-able breakfast stuff
I was thinking the oatmeal in a thermos too... maybe with some apples or raisins? Would he eat sandwiches? Some people don't care if breakfast food is actually typical breakfast food, and a turkey sandwich would be easy to take and eat.

Re: Healthy grab-able breakfast stuff
My husband likes some of the unhealthy stuff too (though he will eat a lot of the healthy stuff, but not all)
I'll sometimes stick things in the fridge or on the counter for him to take along with his lunch, like a little jar of nuts or fruit. He likes homemade granola bars with peanut butter. I was going to suggest overnight oatmeal too but my husband doesn't touch oatmeal usually unless it's in granola bars or granola. He loves plain Greek yogurt (either Chobani or Cabot brand) with a bit of raw honey, with or w/o homemade granola. I try to make it healthy but tasty still - using coconut oil etc.
I think I might try the paleo waffle idea sometime. I started using coconut flour recently and while I'm sure he still prefers the regular pancakes, he does like the coconut pancakes and they are so much healthier and filling! So that's something you could try, maybe. I've also done veggie sticks with hummus (usually carrots, celery and cucumber) and he'll eat those. Lately we've been doing a tomato/cucumber salad - not really breakfast, but at least it makes for a healthy lunch or snack that he enjoys
He likes banana muffins though he doesn't really like banana flavoured things. I've made them with whole wheat flour from the catcancook site and he likes them that way esp. with chocolate chips, even though he doesn't care for whole wheat flour usually. Not the healthiest, but still better than a lot of breakfast choices!
Oh I'll make quiche sometimes too in a pie plate, and there are always leftovers, so that's pretty easy to grab and microwave, and super healthy. I should start doing that again.

Re: Healthy grab-able breakfast stuff
I was also going to suggest sandwiches. There are plenty of "breakfasty" options: almond butter and banana on whole wheat; turkey bacon, lettuce, and tomato; veggie omelette, etc. You can also do eggs and veggies (and whatever else he'd like) in a wrap.

Re: Healthy grab-able breakfast stuff
I second Lara bars! There are so many fun flavor combos you can google! My kids love em too!! And pretty easy to make
I also have a new love of muffins, did banana bread muffins, spread with peanut butter so yummy and easy and protein in there too ( I did oh she glows' recipe) also you can do mini baked omelettes in the muffin tins, so they are eat-out-of-hand'able. Fill em with all the egg faves! And then today I did mini deep dish pizzas in muffin tins, you can customize each one differently if u want, use any pizza dough recipe u love and toppings too! Ooh also my SIL just found a great ww muffin mix base recipe then u make em any way u want-blueberry, apple cinnamon, she did peaches and cream-yummy! I can get that for u if u want

Re: Healthy grab-able breakfast stuff
Great ideas! My hubby is same as OP- (occasionally) drives truck and doesn't like to take the time to grab something out of the house before he leaves, but then when he's crazy hungry, he stops at a convience store (which takes more time and $) and gets a bunch of unhealthy food.
Muffins are great, but could be rather crumbly, and DH don't like a mess in the truck, and *gasp* likes to be able to eat while driving if he doesn't get chance to stop. I like the thermos idea!

Re: Healthy grab-able breakfast stuff
You can make a quick raw apple porridge as follows:
Pulse 1/4c cashews in a food processor
Add 1 TBSP ground flax seed, one chopped apple, and a squirt of lemon juice.
Drizzle a bit of honey or agave on top and pulse to combine.
Scoop it out into a bowl with a lid and sprinkle some raisins or dried cranberries or blueberries or whatever else on top. Put the lid on it and stick it in the fridge with a spoon on top.

Lately, I've been trying several new foundations and variations–BB Creams, CC Creams, and the like. This includes Kiehl's BB Cream SPF 50 ($37/ 1.35 oz.). This is a generous tube with great intentions.
Really, Kiehl's has all the right boxes checked. It has a great sunscreen rating at SPF 50. It contains Vitamin C and advertises that it can (over time) color correct skin tone irregularities. It gives serious medium coverage. There's a generous 1.35 ounces in this travel-friendly, lightweight squeeze tube for a well-priced $37. Who wouldn't love it?
Well, I didn't love it. First, the scent of this product is strong (it's a sunscreen type of a scent) and it just didn't seem to fade. Also, Kiehl's BB Cream has a heavy feeling on my skin that I just could accept. I tried this for a few days, but ultimately found that it just didn't ever quite feel right. I was too conscious of it.
The final straw was that the product just didn't make my skin look better. Unlike Shiseido's Urban Environment Sun Protector (available here), the Kiehl's didn't meld with my skin and improve the texture and glow. The Shiseido offers a more cosmetically elegant solution to the suncare protection question. Note, however, that Kiehl's coverage is stronger than Shiseido's, so if you are looking for some strength in that department, that has to weigh in too.
There's a lot to love about Kiehl's BB Cream, and I know there are a lot of fans out there. It comes in four colors–Fair, Fair/Light, Light, and Medium. I chose to try the product in Light, which was a bit too dark for me. Here are swatches of Kiehl's BB Cream in Light next to MAC Pro Longwear Liquid Foundation in NC15 and Shiesido Sun Protection Liquid Foundation (the one in the blue bottle) in SP 20:
Here are the ingredients for Kiehl's BB Cream:
We're so fortunate to have such a good range of foundations available, and I had high hopes for Kiehl's. I've heard great things about it's (now discontinued) tinted moisturizer. I think that my skin and the texture of this one just didn't seem to be compatible. Perhaps you've had better luck?

The real-life murder of an idiosyncratic Dutch politician inspired this docudrama, which imagines a possible scenario behind the killing.
Jim De Booy (Thijs Römer) is a new photographer who is on assignment, taking pictures of a popular television actress during an appearance at a radio station, when Pim Fortuyn, a controversial right-wing political figure, is shot to death shortly after finishing an interview at the same studio.
When Jim develops the pictures, he discovers he accidentally caught the assassin on film, and he begins investigating the crime. Jim finds an ally in his research in Ayse (Tara Elders), who was once involved with the animal rights group that has claimed responsibility for the killing.
However, while most people believe the killing was the irrational act of leftist fanatics, Ayse and her beau, Erdogan (Cahit Olmez), have another take to tell -- it seems members of the Dutch intelligence community had infiltrated the group and were pressuring the animal rights activists to attack Fortuyn.
Could this have had anything to do with Fortuyn's opposition to a bill that would finance the purchase of a new fleet of fighter jets backed by powerful American business interests? 06/05: The Sixth of May was the final feature film for writer and director Theo Van Gogh.
In a strange coincidence, Van Gogh was shot to death (as well as stabbed) in the fall of 2004 by a Muslim extremist who was offended by a film he made for television about the treatment of women in the Islamic community.

Scientists with the LSU AgCenter are trying to develop more environmentally friendly chemicals to help clean up future oil spills.
Scientists with the LSU AgCenter are trying to develop more environmentally friendly chemicals to help clean up future oil spills.
Dispersants, chemicals used to break apart oil slicks and dissipate them into the water, caused controversy during the 2010 BP oil spill in the Gulf.
Over a period exceeding 12 weeks, BP used more than 1.8 million gallons of the dispersant Corexit to break up the oil into tiny droplets. More than 770,000 gallons of the chemical were used at the oil's source on the ocean floor.
Studies have shown dispersed oil is more toxic than either oil or dispersants alone, said LSU AgCenter wetlands biologist Andy Nyman. Its toxicity is longer lasting, possibly as long as six months based on laboratory studies.
LSU AgCenter scientists, working with researchers from Columbia University and Iowa State University, are working to create and test a new less-toxic chemical called a surfactant. Surfactants, one of the most-important ingredients in oil-spill dispersants, allow oil to dissolve in water. They can also be found in many household products such as shampoo or dishwashing soap.
In Louisiana, Nyman and Chris Green, an LSU AgCenter toxicologist, are testing the chemical's toxicity on killifish, a baitfish also known as cocahoe minnows, found in the Louisiana marshes.
Killifish is a good species for testing because it adapts to a wide range of salinity, and other scientists have used it for toxicity testing, Green said.
The $211,000, three-year study is being paid for by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and the National Science Foundation.
The project was in reaction to the BP oil spill and the need for a more effective and environmentally friendly dispersant, Nyman said.
Finding greener surfactants could also benefit people's everyday lives, Nyman added.
"It's even bigger than spills because what I've come to realize is that these surfactants are not just in dispersants, they're in a lot of household products we use every day," Nyman said. "It could help to reduce the toxicity of many products we use."
Green said he has also been testing the toxicity of more common surfactants and household products, such as dishwashing detergent, on killifish. Those results are not yet published.
Iowa State researchers are making a new surfactant through a fermentation process using bacteria, soybean wastes and bagasse, fibrous residue from crushed sugar cane stalks. They are working to make the fermentation more efficient, while Columbia researchers are studying the effectiveness of the surfactant's potential to disperse crude oil.
Scientists still aren't sure why dispersed oil has been found to be more toxic than oil or dispersant alone. But Nyman said he suspects it may be because dispersants break up the oil into the water, exposing marine animals to a lot more oil at once and overwhelming the body's ability to process it.
Scientists will also be looking at surfactant molecules to figure out what makes them toxic and whether their shape has anything to do with their toxicity.
The research will not produce immediate results that can soon be used commercially, Nyman said.
"This is very preliminary research. I think we're a decade or two away from seeing something in the marketplace," he said.
LSU AgCenter officials said they're also planning a mobile lab this year to demonstrate the toxic effects of surfactant chemicals, crude oil and common household detergents using fish and larvae. That will help raise awareness of the project and the benefits of developing safer dispersants.
During the spill, the use of dispersants to break down oil was presented as a trade-off. Oil was dispersed into the Gulf to avoid what officials feared could be worse environmental damage if large slicks of oil came on shore into sensitive wetland and beach habitats.
"We're not trying to say the use of dispersants was necessarily a bad thing. In some situations they may be needed," said Brian LeBlanc, LSU AgCenter and Sea Grant coastal ecologist. "We're simply trying to develop less toxic, more effective methods of dispersing oil."

Amelia Takes Flight
By: Brian/Alex T.
Wisconsin, Age 11
She first became interested in flying when she saw an airplane at the 1908 Iowa State Fair. Her first flight was at an air show with her dad. That motivated her to fly. Her flying teacher was Neta Snook, who was the first women to graduate from Curtiss School of Aviation. After that, Amelia Earhart bought her own plane and began setting records, but then she sold it.

I have moved from San Francisco to Carbondale, Colorado. As I have explained to my California friends, it's not in a howling wilderness.
It's just down the road from Aspen, home of the famed Aspen Institute, Aspen Music Festival, Aspen's International Design Conference and the Rocky Mountain Institute.
Once a silver mining town, Aspen was reborn after WWII as a retreat that sought to nurture mind, body and spirit. That's the "Aspen idea," and it made the little mountain town an international crossroads for ideas, arts and architecture. I have long felt called to come back here.
And so I returned to my home state just in time for Colorado Architecture Month.
I can almost hear my West Coast friends chuckling. Colorado architecture? What the heck is that?
I recently listened to some bright folks wrestling with that very question. The occasion was an American Institute of Architects (AIA) event called "Aspen's Significant Architecture, Past, Present and Future."
During the evening, Aspen architects Willis Pember, Suzannah Reid and Harry Teague gamely picked out a number of Aspen area buildings that could warrant that "significant" moniker. While applauding their choices, I also found myself fretting over a major omission. Since I couldn't very well climb onto the stage and add my two cents, I will use this post to nominate a few buildings of my own – and to point out why Aspen and its little Colorado valley have a golden opportunity to play a significant, and even crucial role, in contemporary architecture.
But bit of background is in order first.
A Climate for Change
As Harry Teague told the AIA's audience, a distinctive regional architectural style usually arises out a combination of cultural influences and climate. Traditional, pre-architectural buildings around the world provide plenty of examples.
For example, Islamic culture – specifically the Muslim prohibition against depicting the human form – influenced the handsome, geometric (and cooling!) tile that adorns homes in Morocco. A Zen aesthetic influences Japanese homes and temples.
Climate gave rise to New England's salt box houses with their long, asymmetrical, wind-breaking roofs. It was also the impetus behind India's bungalows. There, people do most of their living on deeply shaded porches that surround a central courtyard. The roofless courtyard creates a "stack effect" that allows sweltering heat to exhale upward and ventilate the home's living quarters.
Back to the Future
Now, as human activities threaten to undermine the ecosystems that support us, architects who are interested in sustainable building have begun to plumb traditional, pre-architectural dwellings for inspiration. Before modern engineering harnessed fossil fuels and nuclear reactors, no one imagined creating buildings that would have to be scaled by elevators or lit by electric lights. Our ancestors couldn't import exotic materials from afar, or fill their homes with electronic devices, or create landscapes that were alien to the local climate. With no option but to use local materials and to adapt to the weather, they built green and came up with some impressive passive heating and cooling strategies.
At the turn of the 20th century, cheap fuel transformed building technology and gave rise to modern architecture.
Today, residential and commercial buildings, taken together, use 76 percent of all electricity produced in the US. The architectural sector consumes "a whopping 48 percent of total US energy consumption," according to architect Edward Mazria, author of a ground-breaking 2003 article called "It's the Architecture, Stupid." In that article, which was published in Solar Today, Mazria argued convincingly that it is architects who hold "the key to the lock on the global thermostat."
Although still too few of them know this, one thing is certain: our use (and abuse) of energy will transform architecture all over again in the 21st century.
Considering the stakes involved in climate change, I was surprised that the Aspen architects neglected to include Amory Lovins' green home at Snowmass in their survey of significant local buildings.
I was doubly surprised when the whole issue of sustainability – not just energy, but water, climate and air quality – rated scarcely a mention.
Aspen Influences: Buckminster, Barns and Bauhaus
As Willis Pember noted during the AIA event, Colorado's vernacular buildings include mining structures, ranches and barns, log cabins, and the Victorians that were in vogue when the 1879 silver rush peopled the place with white folks. (Truth be told, Ute Indians settled the region eight centuries before all this happened. But the Utes lived a nomadic lifestyle and their wikiups weren't meant to last.)
Silver mining faded and Aspen, which was first called "Ute City", struggled through the Great Depression. At the end of WWII, the town was a bit dilapidated, but it still had a newspaper, an opera house, a post office and the iconic Hotel Jerome. The west side was filled with Queen Anne and Victorian homes, and in 1941, a downhill and slalom championship breathed new life into the town. The east side and modern architecture got a big boost when architects Fritz Benedict and Bauhaus-trained Herbert Bayer arrived in the mid 1940s.
During the 1950s as the Aspen ski resort began to grow, a few Bauhaus-style modern residences were built. Among these avant garde structures were Frederick "Fritz" Benedict's Hallam Lake residence, built for novelist John Marquand, and the "Waterfall" house he built for D. V. Edmundson. Both houses have been demolished.
A similar fate may soon befall another mid-century modern Aspen landmark, the Given Institute for Pathobiology, which was designed by distinguished Chicago modernist Harry Weese. (It's owned by my alma mater, the University of Colorado, which wants to sell it – or more precisely, the land on which it stands – because CU is strapped for money.)
Aspen also felt the west wind blowing in from California, picking up influences that ranged from Yosemite's famed 1927 Ahwahnee Lodge to Buckminster Fullerton's geodesic domes, plus a dose of Haight-Ashbury-type weirdness in the form of buildings erected by Chip Lord's Ant Farm avant-garde architectural and media group. They were the folks who planted all those Cadillacs in the ground. (Oh yeah, I'm right at home here!)
Among the modern buildings the panel named as being significant were architect Victor Lundy's house (still standing and used as a vacation rental), the Aspen Interfaith Chapel, the Aspen Bank, the Institute for Physics and the Aspen Institute. The three tents used by the Aspen Music Festival, designed by Eero Saarinen, Herbert Bayer and Harry Teague, also merited nomination.
Among the as-yet-to-be-built modern buildings that promise to be significant is the new Aspen Art Museum. Plans for the 30,000 square foot building have been drawn up by Japanese architect Shigeru Ban. (I'm happy to note that the new AAM will be built green, and it will exceed LEED standards.)
Nicolette's Picks for Significant Architecture
No one asked me, but I'm going to nominate a few more buildings as being significant.
The first, already mentioned, is the Amory Lovins home. Located in Snowmass, about nine miles from Aspen, the Lovins' residence was built in 1983 to be an energy-saving showplace. Judy Hill Lovins, who I met at the AIA event, told me that the house recently received an award recognizing it as the spark that lit the international Passivhaus movement. (Lovins' house is now being remodeled with the goal of burning no fossil fuels.)
Another of my favorite local buildings is the Waldorf School on the Roaring Fork, located about 25 miles from Aspen. As regular readers know, I'm a fan of straw bale building. The insulating quality of the walls creates a deep, contemplative hush inside the house while also providing thermal insulation. The walls can be shaped into curves or angles that hold deep-set windows, and they can be used to create stunningly handsome buildings. I love the Waldorf School's roof line and the way its angles echo the mountains that surround it.
My third pick is a rammed earth solar house that captured my imagination when I read about it in a blog called Carrie's Design Musings. Designed by Studio B Architects and built by Quentin Branch, it's the first – and only – rammed earth home in Aspen. Rammed earth building has been around for hundreds of years; to make rammed earth, the builder compresses a mixture of damp earth with sand, gravel, clay or cement.
The process was used to build the Great Wall of China and pyramids in Mexico, and this house is only slightly less humble. It has won three awards and has been featured in Elle Decor, as well as in Carrie's blog. It's for sale – for just $10.8 million. (Take a look at the photos in Carrie's "My Aspen Love Affair" post; the interior by Larry Laslo is also stunning.)
My Own Love Affair with Aspen and her Valley
I have known and loved Aspen for decades. I grew up hiking and skiing in the area. In my teens, I graduated from the Outward Bound wilderness school in nearby Marble. After my first year at CU in Boulder, disillusioned and wondering what Beowulf had to do with the rest of my life, I dropped out to find meaning. I sought it in Aspen, and wound up living the Roaring Fork Valley for a year.
What appealed to me about Aspen years ago is what appeals to me again: the stunning setting, the town's walkability, its sense of history, its artsy feel and its scale. (The AIA panelists, who included local entrepeneur George Stranahan, builder Steve Hansen, and Amy Guthrie of the Aspen Historic Preservation Commission, were chuckling over whether three stories would be too much on Main Street!)
In many ways, Aspen reminds me of Mendocino, California, a small town perched prettily above the Pacific. It's similarly filled with artists, artisans, hippies and holiday makers, and it has taken similar pains to preserve its Victorian-era architecture. Like Mendocino, Aspen is filled with folks who love the setting, and who by extension, want to preserve the natural environment.
But arguably, what has set Aspen apart is its devotion to ideas. Aspen, and by extension much of the Roaring Fork Valley, is a place where leading thinkers come to converse and solve the vexing problems of our day. It's a cultural crossroads, a place where Albert Schweitzer, Arthur Rubinstein, Mortimer Adler and Ansel Adams have all come to speak and perform. The place has attracted presidents, statesmen, diplomats, judges, ambassadors, and Nobel laureates.
That's why I think that it's not enough for Aspen's architecture to be attractive or avant garde. This is a place that matters, a spot filled with people worthy of taking on a significant challenge. And heaven knows, we certainly have one before us.
