Darren Campbell explains tactical battle if Mo Farah races Usain Bolt
Sky Sports' Darren Campbell says a race between Mo Farah and Usain Bolt would be a fascinating tactical battle.
Last Updated: 29/07/13 6:56pm
British superstar Farah, the Olympic 5000 and 1000m champion, has challenged the 100m and 200m legend Bolt to a race for charity.
Farah has suggested somewhere between 600m and 800m would be fair for both men. And Bolt has confirmed he would be up for a 600m race.
Campbell, a former Olympic champion himself, told Sky Sports News: "You can already tell how excited everybody is to potentially see Mo Farah against Usain Bolt. I think the fact that they are both represented by the same agent could mean that this could happen," he said.
"How good this would be for the charities who would benefit from this race."
Former sprint star Campbell says a 600m race would be a far more painful experience for Bolt than Farah.
"Usain Bolt is a 100m, 200m runner. There has been talk in the past about him moving up to 400m. But the pain sprinters feel when they move up to 400m is phenomenal. It's not a distance he would like to run but in aid of charity, 600m would probably be the limit.
"Usain would have been blessed with a tremendous amount of fast-twitch fibres. He wouldn't have a fantastic endurance pace.
"As a 100m, 200m sprinter a lot of the work he would do would be explosive work. The fact that he runs 200m means he will do over-distance work and 600m would probably be the limit of what he would do in training. He will run 600m but he won't run it very quickly.
"It's mainly to give him a base so he can get through the rounds in the world championships and Olympic Games.
"If this was to go ahead you would probably find that it would happen during winter training or just before the start of the season when Usain has built up that endurance pace.
"After 600m there would be a lack of oxygen that he wouldn't be used to. A lot of sprinters hold their breath so straight away, just the breathing patterns and the way he would attack and run the race, these are the things that would give Usain Bolt problems."
Campbell said tactics would be key, with both men having to think carefully about how to tackle the race.
"I think what Bolt would do is he would just try and stay with Mo. It would depend on the pace that Mo decided to go off at. If I was Mo Farah I would just try and attack it from the beginning. If Usain is able to go with the pace, then his kick will be tremendous," he said.
"But Mo has been working on his pace this year and we've seen that with him breaking the British 1500m record. It's not that he hasn't got any speed but we're talking about (racing) the great Usain Bolt.
"The conditions won't play any part. Maybe it would at altitude. And I would think it would be in a hot country. For Usain to do it, maybe it would be in Kingston, Jamaica.
"Mo can run 50 seconds for 400m. Usain could probably run 45 seconds for 400m. But when you take it up in distance it becomes very, very difficult for Bolt.
"Linford Christie always used to say he could beat Kelly Holmes over 800m. I always thought, 'you think you can'. It's the pace judgement, doing that first 400m at a pace that's comfortable. And that's where Bolt would be at a disadvantage. What is comfortable for him? He wouldn't know. He knows that if he doesn't have a big enough distance, or stay with Mo, his kick wouldn't work."

Alaska Sen. Ted Stevens, a free-spending Republican in name only, recently took to the floor of the Senate to express outrage in reaction to the proposal by some members to shift a modest amount of budget earmarks for Alaska bridge projects to the rebuilding of an interstate highway in New Orleans that was demolished by the strike of Hurricane Katrina.
Mr. Stevens responded in the manner of someone who had been challenged to a duel to the death, raising his voice in outrage that anyone would for a moment consider that the funds previously pledged to enable him to bring home the bacon to his constituents could now be withdrawn.
Climaxing his fit of pique, Sen. Stevens threatened that if the Alaska projects' funding was rescinded, he would resign his position forthwith. It sounds like a great idea to me. Why did his fellow senators not take him up on it? We do not generally have such golden opportunities to oust from the Senate a big-government liberal like Mr. Stevens.

Zen Koans Explained: "Children of His Majesty"
People fear showing themselves in public without clothes. But why? Can you imagine if horses did the same thing? Horses with clothes... the hooved folly.
The koan: "Children of His Majesty"
Yamaoka Tesshu was a tutor of the emperor. He was also a master of fencing and a profound student of Zen.
His home was the abode of vagabonds. He had but one suit of clothes, for they kept him always poor.
The emperor, observing how worn his garments were, gave Yamaoka some money to buy new ones. The next time Yamaoka appeared he wore the same old outfit.
"What became of the new clothes, Yamaoka?" asked the emperor.
"I provided clothes for the children of Your Majesty," explained Yamaoka.
The enlightenment: "I see," said the emperor. "Are these the same 'children' that got my microwave? And the missing jewelry?"
Yamaoka averted his eyes. "I'm clean, I swear."
This has been "Zen Koans Explained." The force of constant propulsion.

Attributed to a man who lived in fifth-century-B.C. Greece, these timeless tales abound with simple wisdoms and useful truths, illuminatingly human-like animal characters, and intrinsic child appeal. Aesop's fables offer a wealth of opportunities for exploration in the classroom and can be used to effectively integrate Common Core State Standards into the curriculum.
Shared with students, the stories not only convey basic life lessons about how to act and behave, but can also be used to introduce literary genres, initiate discussion about human nature, and inspire creative writing and illustrating endeavors.
The books featured here showcase this body of work through a variety of narrative approaches and artistic styles, while remaining true to the tales' simple charm, witty plotting, and powerful punch. Included are an array of handsomely illustrated anthologies, stunning picture book versions, and collections in which authors add their own imaginative twists to familiar renditions. As entertaining as they are elucidating, all of these titles can be read aloud in the classroom or delved into independently by youngsters.
Two collections serve well as basic classroom resources. From the tale of a tiny mouse who saves a mighty lion with an act of courage and kindness to that of a cunning fox who bamboozles a vain crow out of a chunk of cheese, The McElderry Book of Aesop's Fables (S&S, 2005; K-Gr 4) recounts 21 favorite tales. Utilizing an amiably informal tone and accessible language, Michael Morpurgo spins the stories with humorous details and nimble dialogue. Emma Chichester Clark's sunny watercolors and the book's inviting format make it ideal for reading aloud or alone and a great starting point for introducing these selections.
For those seeking a more comprehensive anthology, Aesop's Fables (Andersen Pr.; 2011; Gr 1-6) gathers together 60 tales in an eye-catching volume. Striking spreads pair Fiona Waters's lively retellings and succinct morals with Fulvio Testa's lush-hued, sparkling-with-wit paintings. Use this lovely compilation for deeper studies, or recommend it to students who would like to read further.
Part of Mary Ann Hoberman's effective literacy-building series, You Read to Me, I'll Read to You: Very Short Fables to Read Together (Little, Brown, 2010; Gr 1-4) retells 13 of Aesop's well-known tales in buoyant rhyming verses arranged for two voices. Each part (e.g., Hare or Tortoise, the golden-egg-laying goose or her greedy Master, the grasshopper or the ant) is delineated by text in either orange or green, with the morals presented in a bright magenta that invites both readers to chime in.
Conveyed in rhythmic easy-reading text, the streamlined fables have a vibrant sense of immediacy that matches Michael Emberley's comical action-packed artwork. This interactive volume is tailor-made to support reading comprehension and makes a suitable choice for practicing fluency in student pairs, to use as a reading-buddy resource, or as inspiration for readers' theater.
Expanding upon 12 fables in an elegant oversize volume, Helen Ward regales older students with tidbits of Unwitting Wisdom (Chronicle, 2004; Gr 3-6). Each aptly titled tale is introduced with a stunning two-page painting and a teaser that foreshadows plot and themes (e.g., "Steady and Slow…in which a hare is too confident"). The artwork mingles natural details with whimsy to create a cast of realistic yet packed-with-personality animals. Lyrically written with a more formal cadence, the fables also sparkle with descriptive details, funny moments, and deftly delivered insights.
From "effervescent" to "tantalizing," the writing offers a trove of challenging vocabulary words to tease out and utilize. Compare these retellings to more straightforward versions and have students identify and discuss each author's particular interpretation, tone, and narrative voice. Take a closer look at the illustrations and determine how the images enhance the text and augment each tale's meaning.
In her introduction to her collection of 16 Aesop's Fables (Frances Lincoln, 2011; Gr 1-5), Beverley Naidoo makes a convincing argument in support of her theory that Aesop's roots may have been found in Africa. Thus, she sets her tales on the grasslands of that continent, peoples them with indigenous fauna and flora (a jackal rather than a fox, a rinkhals snake, or a tamboti tree), and flavors them with terms from various African languages (defined after each entry).
Combined with Piet Grobler's earth-toned paintings presenting a menagerie of comically expressive animals, the folksy retellings create a strong sense of place, while also conveying each fable's universal themes and gentle humor. Have students compare these renditions to traditional versions, identifying similarities and differences. Investigate the environment and particular species featured in the stories. Invite youngsters to choose a favorite fable and re-write it with details that reflect their own neck of the woods.
Picture Book Retellings
These dazzlingly illustrated offerings expand upon particular fables, providing impetus for students to make comparisons to versions found in anthologies. Helen Ward's retelling of The Town Mouse and the Country Mouse (Candlewick, 2012; K-Gr 4) describes how a rural rodent, accustomed to a quiet existence lived close to nature, journeys to visit his city-dwelling cousin where he encounters both wonders and dangers and learns to appreciate the simple pleasures of home.
Color-drenched paintings depict the beauties of the countryside throughout the changing seasons as well as the luxuriant trappings of 1930s New York City at Christmastime. Ward leaves off the traditional moral, allowing readers to draw their own conclusions.
In Fox Tails (Holiday, 2012; K-Gr 4), Amy Lowry weaves together four fables featuring this crafty though often over-confident character, creating a cumulative tale that stands solidly as a cohesive whole and remains true to the source material. Lively language and modern-day touches in the lighthearted artwork give the presentation an appealingly contemporary feel.
Read standard versions of the fables aloud and have students sort out the various plotlines and determine how they have been integrated together. Trace the archetypal characteristics of the fox or other animals that appear frequently in Aesop's oeuvre. Choose two or more fables and have youngsters come up with plot scenarios to connect them together.
Wordless except for a few well-timed animal sound effects, Jerry Pinkney's The Lion & the Mouse (Little, Brown, 2009; PreS-Gr 4) eloquently relates the story through a series of magnificent paintings that depict an African savannah setting with sinuous textures and shimmering hues. Riveting visual perspectives and realistic details convey the courage and compassion of both animals and inspire youngsters to voice their own narration of events.
Mouse & Lion (Scholastic, 2011) pairs Rand Burkert's expansive and dialogue-rich narrative with Nancy Ekholm Burkert's exquisitely rendered animals to emphasize the personalities of a skitter-scampering can-do rodent hero and a majestic leonine king. Have children compare the two versions, identify similarities and differences, and discuss how each rendition interprets the characters as well as the tale's traditional moral.
Take-offs and Twists
Cleverly and often comically reinterpreted, these engaging offerings will have kids consulting and comparing to the originals, and dreaming up their own fractured versions. Margie Palatini and Barry Moser's Lousy Rotten Stinkin' Grapes (S&S; 2009; K-Gr 4) introduces a know-it-all fox who enlists the help of various animal friends to concoct a preposterously elaborate plan to put his paws on some succulent but out-of-reach treats, resulting in pratfalls galore and an uproarious comeuppance.
In The Great Race (Walker, 2011; K-Gr 4), Kevin O'Malley's pun-filled text and droll artwork pit the fleet-footed and annoyingly arrogant rabbit runner, Lever Lapin, against slow but steady everyman, Nate Tortoise, a contest that results in an upset and a groaner of a newspaper headline (and amusingly reinterpreted moral): "Better Nate than Lever."
Luli Gray's Ant and Grasshopper (S&S, 2011; K-Gr 4), illustrated in hearth-warmed hues by Giuliano Ferri, expands upon the traditional lesson about the virtues of hard work and value of planning ahead to create an uplifting tale that emphasizes the importance of individuality and empathy. Industrious Ant spends much of his time counting the food items that he has stored away and has no patience for music-loving Grasshopper who would rather play his fiddle than worry about the future. However, when winter falls and Ant opts to share his bounty and his sympathies with the freezing Grasshopper, he realizes that friendship is the greater gift. Both discover that whether one's talents lie in tallying up beans or singing a tune, "Everybody counts."
Susan Stevens Crummel and Dorothy Donohue replace the traditional mouse cousins with City Dog, Country Dog (Marshall Cavendish, 2004; K-Gr 4), two pups with very different personalities who share a passion for painting. After meeting at art school, Henri T. Lapooch and Vincent van Dog attempt to maintain their friendship by visiting one another's homes, but Henri just can't abide roughing it in the countryside and Vincent has no patience for the fast city life. The two decide to meet at the beach, where they celebrate their camaraderie and revel in the moral, "Vive la différence!"
The upbeat text is seasoned with French terms (presented along with pronunciations and definitions) and the cut-paper collage illustrations incorporate painted references to the work of the real artists upon whom the characters are based, Vincent van Gogh and Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec. An author's note about the painters that includes reproductions of their works makes it easy to stretch this tale into a study of art as well as fables.
Up-to-date and Laugh-out-loud Funny
Two books treat these traditional tales with tongue-in-cheek humor and contemporary flair. Jon Scieszka and Lane Smith's Squids Will Be Squids (Puffin, 1998; Gr 3-6) presents a collection of 18 fables "…that Aesop might have told if here were alive today and sitting in the back of class daydreaming instead of paying attention…." Silly dialogue, familiar school-day details, oddball wisdoms, and off-the-wall artwork abound as beastly characters interact to illustrate such tried-and-true maxims as "He who smelt it, dealt it;" "It takes one to know one;" and "Don't ever listen to a talking bug." Irreverent, imaginative, and perfectly tuned to kids' sensibilities, this zany book will provide an interesting viewpoint along with barrels of laughs.
Classroom extensions abound with fables. Share these tales with your students, and have them draw inferences about morals, using evidence from the stories to demonstrate their mastery of the text. Discuss the animal characters and their behaviors and make comparisons to human characteristics. How does each book's artwork add to the text and enhance the storytelling tone?
Or, choose two anthologies that retell the same fable and make comparisons between the two versions. How do each author's narrative voice and each illustrator's artistic style differ? Have children select a fable to illustrate, act out, or prepare as a presentation on Power Point or another program. Challenge youngsters to try their hand at writing their own selections.
Make the experience multimedia by having students search out additional retellings on online sites such as "Aesop's Fables," which presents more than 655 tales (some with audio recording and/or images) or the Library of Congress's wonderful "Aesop's Fables Interactive Book" containing more than 140 tales with Milo Winter's enchanting early 20th-century illustrations and interactive animations, also available as an iOS and Android app.
A fabulous classroom chapter read-aloud, Candace Fleming's The Fabled Fourth Graders of Aesop Elementary School (Random, 2007; Gr 3-5) pairs a bunch of infamously difficult students with the equally quirky and free-thinking Mr. Jupiter (the only teacher willing to take them on). From "The Boy Who Cried Lunch Monitor" to a hare-versus-tortoise-style poetry-memorizing competition, the chapters present updated, cleverly re-imagined fables (complete with morals), all tailored to the classroom setting and adorned with entertainingly exaggerated humor, chuckle-inducing wordplay, and a plethora of puns.
Read aloud the fable that corresponds to each chapter and make comparisons, or challenge older students to identify the Aesop's tidbit that inspired each scenario. Have youngsters brainstorm adages appropriate to classroom behavior and expectations and then write a fable with a school setting. Check out the author's website to download an educator's guide to the book that includes ideas for general explorations of Aesop's fables. The high jinks—and literary references—continue in The Fabled Fifth Graders of Aesop Elementary School (Random House, 2010.)
Moral: Studying Aesop's fables today will lead to more-accomplished students tomorrow.
The Common Core State Standards below are a sampling of those references in the above books and classroom activities:
RL. K.1. With prompting and support, ask and answer questions about key details in a text.
W. K.7. Participate in shared research and writing projects.
RL. 1.9. Compare and contrast the adventures and experiences of characters in stories.

Our industry continues to struggle with driver retention and in finding ways to attract quality individuals to a career in trucking. At present, even with staggeringly high unemployment, trucking is still considered an undesirable profession.
What trucking needs is a paradigm shift. Under its current hiring methods, a trucker's job description is two-dimensional: a trainee, a trucker, and very little room for advancement or increase in compensation. This is where the shift needs to occur.
If carriers embrace a "student, trainee, apprentice, journeyman, master trucker and master trucker trainer" ladder structure, training new entrants and granting CEUs (continuing education units) that advance a trucker would shrink the turnover rate. Here's an outline:
A minimum of three months or 480 hours of trucking school, focused on driving basics such as backing and rules of the road. When broken down, drivers would need at least 120 hours driving a truck on streets and highways; 60 hours of backing and maneuvering a truck in tight situations; then 60 hours of understanding the mechanics of a truck and mastering the pre- and post-trip inspections. The remaining 240 hours of classroom instruction would be spent learning how FMCSA regulations and HOS work, and including a course explaining what life on the road is really like.
After the new entry-level trucker graduates from trucking school and receives a CDL, he/she would be placed with a master trucker trainer for a minimum of six months at his/her carrier. During the training period, anytime the trainee is in the driver's seat, the trainer is instructing from the passenger seat. In order for the trainee to move up to the apprentice level, he/she must pass a skills and knowledge test administered by a third party (not the carrier).
Once the trainee becomes an apprentice, he/she teams with a journeyman or master trucker for a minimum of one year to gain additional experience, sharing driving with the lead team driver.
To become a journeyman, meaning a solo driver or lease operator, the apprentice must pass a skills and knowledge test after completing 10 hours of CEUs. In addition, he/she must have a minimum of 12 months and 100,000 mi. of accident-free experience with no major traffic or out-of-service violations.
Master trucker
This requires an additional 30 hours of CEUs, covering driving, freight handling and trucking business skills and knowledge. He/she must have a minimum of five years and 500,000 mi., pass a master trucker's skills and knowledge test, and have an accident-free driving record.
Master trucker trainer
In addition to the required 30 CEUs to become a master trucker, he/she must complete a truck driver trainer certification course worth 30 CEUs, and pass a written test and skills exam. The trucker must be accident- and ticket-free for a minimum of five years to receive this certification.
This comprehensive program would reduce turnover and make trucking a career with advancement and good compensation based on skills, knowledge and experience.
Imagine picking the best of the best for your drivers.

I've been wearing the same two pairs of sneakers so often that my new friends in college didn't realize I had other shoes! Six months ago, I would've never be caught dead in sneakers. So what happened? Did my recent move to New York give me a certain edge that ditches the sequins for sporty chic?
Whatever happened, I can honestly say that sneakers are a major part of my wardrobe. They make me feel adventurous and ready for anything. I'll wear a silk romper, fur vest and a pair of New Balance sneakers and feel gorgeous. These are the two pairs that have changed my life!
Are Sneakers Fashion Forward?

Manipur nursing council, a dream turns realityFebruary 18th, 2009 - 8:49 pm ICT by ANI
By L.C. K Singh
Imphal, Feb.18 (ANI): With the holding of the first ever examination for the various nursing institutes in the State, the long cherished dream to have a Manipur Nursing Council has today become a reality.
It was the first nursing examination in Manipur under the Manipur Nursing council following the approval of the Council in the State by the government.
Manipur had been conducting the nursing examinations under the Assam Nursing Council (ANC) until July last year.
"Setting up the Manipur Nursing Council is very good. Earlier, when we had to go for our exams in Assam, transportation was difficult. But now, it is convenient and I am really happy," said Ch. Bidyabati Devi, one Manipuri student.
"To have Manipur nursing council in Manipur is a great privilege for us, the students, especially because in the past years we were writing our exams in Assam Nursing council and it gets difficult. Now as a student of Manipur, we are thankful to the government as well for providing us Manipur Nursing council," said Judith Shunate Hmar, a Manipuri student.
This will enable to take the exam in Manipur and save on the expenses incurred on travelling out of the state.
"I am very happy. There is no confusion during the examinations. I can solve any problem over here immediately and successfully with the help of my assistants, deputy and all the teachers, principal," said Th. Bimola Devi, Registrar of the Manipur Nursing Council. There are presently 1,334 students enrolled in the 19 nursing institutes operating in the state. Various initiatives are also being taken up to improve the infrastructure and other facilities of all the nursing institutes in the state. (ANI)

Allow me to introduce myself.
The name's Mechassassin, but most people call me Ban. There are a lot of things that I enjoy, but my biggest passion is definitely music. I enjoy all genres, and I am a musician at heart, and enjoy listening to music almost as much as I enjoy creating it. Other than music, I also enjoy drawing and making videos. I also want to practice voice acting too, since it's something I've always wanted to do as a kid. Hopefully I'll be able to get some practice and hone those skills on here this site.
I've been visiting Newgrounds for quite some time now. (I've been frequenting Newgrounds for about nine years now, if I'm not mistaken.) but I'm pretty new to the whole flash thing, so I'm definitely not as good as a lot of the others out there.
(I bet most of you are anxious to start picking on ze new guy, amirite? :D) I'll be posting some of my creations from time to time, and I hope that through Newgrounds, I'll be able to get the practice I need to improve.
Some of my favorite flash artists are Godlimations, Egoraptor, and Oney. I really look up to them, and a lot of the other flash artists on this site. My goal is that someday, I'll be as good as them, especially because there are a lot of stories I want to tell, and I feel that flash is a great way to tell them.
Let's be friends, yes? :D

Can you see it?
I was driving home from Putrajaya last night after lepak2 with my friends. It was drizzling all the way. Duffy's singing accompanied my cold, lonely journey. Looking from the rear-view mirror for on going cars, I was surprised to find something written on the glass at the back of my car. It took a while for me to register it but then the realization hit me.
It was '1 4 3', or 'I love you'. Either the culprit meant it per se or was just playfully referring to my book, I do not know. But there it was, '1 4 3', as clear as a sentence written on paper.
I can't resist but to stop the car and snap a picture of it. I tried a few angles from outside the car but I settled with 2 shots from the rear-view mirror.
It made me smile all the way home. Every time I checked the mirror, I saw it.
I do not know who wrote it, but whoever you are, you've made my day. Thank you.

Canada supports African science initiative
[JOHANNESBURG] Canada has become the first country to support an initiative by the New Partnership for Africa's Development (NEPAD) to revive science across the continent. The announcement was made during the first-ever African Ministerial Conference on Science and Technology for Development, held in Johannesburg this week.
The Ottawa-based International Development Research Centre has pledged Can$745,000 (US$563,000) to help African leaders promote the application of science and technology to economic growth and poverty reduction.
The money will fund projects to be completed before the next ministerial conference in two years. These include workshops and conferences, concept papers, feasibility studies and other research by the African Forum on Science and Technology for Development, a NEPAD programme.
"Africa can become an important player in science and technology at the international level," says IDRC president Maureen O'Neill. She adds that the IDRC hopes that other donors will match its support.
Finland is likely to be the next nation to step forward. Reijo Keurulainen of the University of Jyväskylä, an observer at the NEPAD science conference in Johannesburg, confirmed that Finland was particularly interested in funding research in open-source software at Africa's largest research agency, the Council for Scientific and Industrial Research, based in South Africa.
Finland has traditionally contributed a considerable portion of its funding through university partnerships.
Canada has already announced that it will spend Can$30 million on the Biosciences Centre of Excellence in Nairobi, Kenya, another NEPAD project (see Nairobi centre chosen to boost biosciences in Africa). Both amounts pale into insignificance, however, next to the Can$85 million which Canada is contributing to various research initiatives in Africa.
In total, the Canada Fund for Africa has Can$500 million (US$378 million) in its coffers, although it is not destined solely for science projects.
At the same time as the NEPAD science meeting, South African President Thabo Mbeki made his first state visit to Canada, where he signed a Joint Declaration of Intent with Canadian Prime Minister Jean Chrétien to strengthen bilateral cooperation.
The leaders agreed to co-operate closely in support of NEPAD and to work together to build capacity in HIV/AIDS, rural development and communicable diseases.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS) is a poorly defined medical condition diagnosed by exclusion, which, besides severe chronic fatigue as the hallmark symptom, involves inflammatory and immune activation stigma.
Although viral infections are not systematically found in CFS patients, the type I interferon antiviral pathway has been repeatedly shown to be activated in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) of the most afflicted patients. An abnormal truncated form of ribonuclease L (37-kDa RNase L) is also found in the PBMC of CFS patients and this protein has been proposed as a biological marker for CFS.
Recently, the levels of this abnormal protein have been significantly correlated to the extent of inflammatory symptoms displayed by CFS patients. We report here that active double-stranded RNA-dependent kinase (PKR) is expressed and activated in parallel to the presence of the 37-kDa RNase L and to an increase in nitric oxide production by immune cells.
However, PKR upregulation results also in a significant increase followed by a decrease in caspase 3 activity for the samples containing the highest levels of 37-kDa RNase L. This caspase 3 downregulation does not result from increased expression of the anti-apoptotic proteins Bcl-2 and Bcl-XL.
These results therefore suggest that chronic inflammation due to excess nitric oxide production plays a role in CFS and that the normal resolution of the inflammatory process by NF-kB activation and apoptotic induction is impaired. These observations draw new directions for the therapeutic approach of CFS. [Note: NF-kB is defined as a major transcription factor that regulates genes responsible for the innate and adaptive immune responses. Apoptosis is a type of orderly cell death.]

CINCINNATI (AP) — Corky Miller got a chance to play a major league game in front of his sons on Wednesday, and the journeyman catcher made the most of the opportunity.
Miller had a pair of run-scoring doubles and a key defensive play, helping the Cincinnati Reds to a 6-5 victory over Bartolo Colon and the slumping Oakland Athletics.
BOX SCORE: Reds 6, Athletics 5
Jay Bruce hit a two-run homer and a run-scoring grounder for Cincinnati, which won consecutive games for the first time since July 24 in San Francisco and July 25 in Los Angeles. Joey Votto had two hits and Zack Cozart scored twice.
Miller has spent most of the season with Triple-A Louisville. He could be headed back to the minors soon with Ryan Hanigan on his way back from a wrist injury.
With sons Caden, 8, and Chase, 5, in town for the Reds' family game, Miller increased his total to five RBIs in 14 games this season.
"It was fun looking up and seeing them," Miller said.
AL West-leading Oakland, which began the day with a one-game advantage over Texas, scored as many runs as it had in its previous three games, but still lost for the sixth time in seven games.
Colon (14-4) was knocked out in the third inning in his shortest outing of the season. The All-Star right-hander, who was pitching on six days' rest but weakened by a stomach virus, had made 15 consecutive starts of at least six innings and three or fewer earned runs.
"Bartolo didn't have his best stuff," manager Bob Melvin said. "His velocity was down a little bit. He had a stomach virus in the bullpen. He's had it before but worked through it."
"It's no excuse," Colon said. "I pitched bad. I wasn't throwing strikes like I did before the All-Star game. The velocity was down a little, but it is no excuse. I don't need to rest. The way the team hit today, I believe we can win. If they keep hitting like that we will win."
Miller's first run-scoring double gave Cincinnati a 2-1 lead in the second inning. The Reds added three more in the third, with Bruce going deep for the second straight game and Miller driving in Cozart for the second time on the day.
Colon allowed five runs and seven hits in 2 2-3 innings. He was 3-0 with a 1.57 ERA in his previous five starts, including a four-hitter in a 6-0 victory at the Los Angeles Angels on July 21.
Homer Bailey (7-10) won his second straight start despite allowing nine hits and five runs in 5 1-3 innings.
"They put the bat on the ball pretty well," he said. "You saw it last night with Mat (Latos). He didn't get a lot of strikeouts. When you put it into play, things happen."
Bailey left with a runner on third, but Manny Parra wriggled out of the jam. Parra, Sam LeCure and J.J. Hoover combined for 2 2-3 innings of two-hit ball before Aroldis Chapman tossed a perfect ninth for his 27th save in 31 opportunities.
Josh Donaldson and Eric Sogard had two hits and two RBIs apiece for Oakland, which finished with 11 hits. Donaldson hit a solo drive in the second for his 17th homer.
Stephen Vogt singled in a run in the fourth for the A's, but Bruce made a perfect throw to cut down Alberto Callaspo trying to score from second on the base hit to right.
"I always expect them to go," Bruce said. "When you don't, that's when you're caught off guard and look like an idiot."
Callaspo left with a left forearm contusion. The Reds originally reported that Miller had a right quad contusion, but he said after the game he banged knees with Callaspo. He still caught one more inning.
"Catchers are football players," Reds manager Dusty Baker said. "They're tough. I wish everybody was a tough as they are."
Oakland also had Sogard retired in a rundown off third in the sixth.
Bruce jumped on the first pitch he saw in the third, sending a long drive into the netting above the visitor's bullpen down the right-field line. The one-out shot came with Votto aboard after a leadoff single.
It was Bruce's team-leading 24th homer. He also is second on the Reds to Brandon Phillips with 78 RBIs.
NOTES: Sogard extended his hitting streak to 13 games. ... The Reds activated RHP Jonathan Broxton from the 15-day disabled list and optioned RHP Pedro Villareal to Triple-A Louisville. Broxton had been on the DL since June 15 with a strained right elbow. ... Oakland LHP Brett Anderson, out since May 1 with a sprained right ankle, is expected to pitch a simulated game Saturday. He threw 31 pitches with Single-A Stockton on Tuesday. ... Melvin planned on Tuesday to have Derek Norris start at catcher on Wednesday, but days off on Monday and Thursday prompted him to stick with his usual lineup against right-handed starters, which includes Vogt at catcher. ... Reds 3B Todd Frazier batter second for the first time in his career. He went 0 for 3 with a walk and was hit by a pitch while extending his career-worst slide to 0 for 31. It's the longest hitless slump by a Reds position player since Drew Stubbs was 0 for 32 in 2012.

12-year-old NC boy dies getting on school bus
COATS, NC (AP) — A 12-year-old Harnett County boy has died after he was struck and killed while trying to get on a school bus.
The boy was struck shortly before 7 a.m. Thursday on N.C. 27 near Coats. The victim was Adam Kempf, a seventh grader at Coats-Erwin Middle School.
The North Carolina Highway Patrol says the boy was struck by a van as he crossed the road to board the bus. Forty-three-year-old Fernando Ortiz-Soto of Sanford is charged with felony death by motor vehicle and driving without a license.
Neither Ortiz-Soto nor the other three people in the van were hurt.
There were about two dozen students on the bus. None of them was hurt.
It was not clear if Ortiz-Soto has an attorney.

Longnecks and appetizers: Foodie fun at the rodeo
Updated 10:22 am, Thursday, February 21, 2013
Just outside the Freeman Coliseum, a group of culinary students assemble what looks like a simple dish: tomato crostini.
The work that disappears in only a couple of bites began several hours earlier that morning. The dozen or so students from St. Philip's College began slicing tomatoes, rolling basil leaves and slicing them thinly and assembling the marinade for the tomatoes — extra virgin olive oil, salt, pepper, minced garlic and more fresh basil. The tomatoes sit in that marinade at least four hours before they're ready.
Once it's time for the culinary demonstration at the wine tent near the carnival, the young people are ready to assemble their creations. Among them are first-semester culinary students Priscilla Aguilar and Bridget Estrada, both San Antonio natives.
"My dad had me in the kitchen ever since I was little," Estrada said. "I was his guinea pig, I was his prep chef. He would always set me down with a cutting board. I remember cutting bell peppers for him, and it's always been something I have loved."
Along with the dozen or so other students, they placed the slices atop a smoking grill, closed the top and waited a few minutes for the breads to warm up and the edges of the bread to develop a bit of a char before pulling them off, placing them on top of serving platters for the line of rodeo-goers waiting for a taste.
More Information
Rodeo Wine Pairings
A second edition of the Rodeo wine pairing will take place Saturday with three demos. All are happening next to the wine tent near the entrance of the Freeman Coliseum. Here's the schedule:
Noon — Four-pepper beef tenderloin with green chile pesto, paired with a red wine.
2:30 p.m. — Grilled crostini with tomato, paired with a sweet wine
5 p.m. — Lime and chile rubbed chicken breast with a Texas pecan honey sauce, paired with a white wine.
It was all part of a demonstration and wine pairing at the rodeo, where the students prepared different dishes that paired with different award-winning wines from the rodeo's wine competition. At this demo, most of those waiting in line already had glasses of wine they had bought from the adjacent tent. Other sessions had more of an explanation of the wines and how they paired with different dishes.
Chef and instructor Will Thornton supervised the students and used a microphone to help banter a bit with the crowd.
When a woman in line asks how the students prepared the crostini, Thornton first tosses back a flippant response: "Whatever we feel like tossing on some bread." He paused for a moment for a chuckle and then explained the procedure.
The students, he said, are getting some solid experience early in their culinary careers.
"It's a good challenge for them and it's a great way to learn," he said. "As chefs, you have to do a lot of things like this so why not get experience doing it now?"
By the time the last of the crostini ran out, Thornton shifted back into the mode of a teacher.
"Well done. Good job, guys," he told his students. "Now let's clean up and get ready for the next one."

Chin, W. N. and Craciun, F. and Qin, S. and Rinard, M. (2004) 'Region inference for an object-oriented language.', ACM SIGPLAN notices., 39 (6). pp. 243-254.
Region-based memory management offers several important potential advantages over garbage collection, including real-time performance, better data locality, and more efficient use of limited memory. Researchers have advocated the use of regions for functional, imperative, and object-oriented languages. Lexically scoped regions are now a core feature of the Real-Time Specification for Java (RTSJ)[5]. Recent research in region-based programming for Java has focused on region checking, which requires manual effort to augment the program with region annotations. In this paper, we propose an automatic region inference system for a core subset of Java. To provide an inference method that is both precise and practical, we support classes and methods that are region-polymorphic, with region-polymorphic recursion for methods. One challenging aspect is to ensure region safety in the presence of features such as class subtyping, method overriding, and downcast operations. Our region inference rules can handle these object-oriented features safely without creating dangling references.

a [graffiti] tagger only tags.
graff is really diffrent then gallery art, and 'graffiti artist' suggests too much similarity imho.
so 'writer', or 'graffiti writer', is the best. its also the most used word inside the community.
scrachiti is just another form of tagging, so it doesnt have any special names.
im a graff writer.. and i just bumped into this site surfing. thought i'd help you out.

django-facebook 5.3.1
Facebook open graph API client in python. Enables django applications to register users using facebook. Fixes issues with the official but unsupported Facebook python-sdk. Enables mobile facebook authentication. Canvas page authentication for facebook applications. FQL access via the server side api.
Latest Version: 6.0.3
Contributions are strongly appreciated. Seriously, give github a try, fork and get started :)
- 5.3.0 will be released early December, getting started with Django Facebook will be a lot easier now.
Demo & About
Django Facebook enables your users to easily register using the Facebook API. It converts the Facebook user data and creates regular User and Profile objects. This makes it easy to integrate with your existing Django application.
I've built it for my startup Fashiolista.com and it's currently used in production with thousands of signups per day. For a demo of the signup flow have a look at Fashiolista's landing page (fashiolista.com)
After registration Django Facebook gives you access to user's graph. Allowing for applications such as:
- Open graph/ Timeline functionality
- Seamless personalization
- Inviting friends
- Finding friends
- Posting to a users profile
Updates and tutorials can be found on my blog mellowmorning
- Access the Facebook API, from:
- Your website (Using javascript OAuth)
- Facebook canvas pages (For building facebook applications)
- Mobile (Or any other flow giving you a valid access token)
Django User Registration (Convert Facebook user data into a user model)
Store likes, friends and user data locally.
Facebook FQL access
OAuth 2.0 compliant
Automated reauthentication (For expired tokens)
Includes Open Facebook (stable and tested Python client to the graph API)
Open Facebook API
Contributing and Running tests
Tests are run from within the example project. You can run them yourself as follows:
install from git
facebook_example/manage.py test django_facebook
A vagrant development setup is included in the GIT repo. Assuming you have vagrant installed, simply type the following in your shell:
# First get a fresh Django-Facebook checkout git clone firstname.lastname@example.com:tschellenbach/Django-facebook.git django-facebook # Go to the directory: cd django-facebook # Time to start Vagrant (grab a cup of coffee after this command, it'll take a while) :) vagrant up; vagrant provision # Finally done? vagrant ssh python manage.py runserver 0:8000
To have a working Django Facebook example up and running at 192.168.50.42:8000/facebook/example/. For the facebook login to work simply map that ip to vagrant.mellowmorning.com (Since Facebook checks the domain)
You can run the test suite by typing:
python manage.py test django_facebook

Natura Bisse C+C Vitamin Body Lift – Value $94
This gel is designed to tighten/firm skin, and help reduce the appearance of stretch marks. (Yes, please to all those things!)
I just tried it out, and I like how quickly the gel absorbs, and the scent is light and fresh (a little citrus-y).
Verdict: I'm really happy with the value of this month's box! I'm always skeptical of stretch mark reducing items, so I love that I have a full-size version of this product to sample and see if it actually works for me.

Troopers, big crowds as Texas lawmakers take up gun rights
Published 4:19 pm, Thursday, February 12, 2015
AUSTIN — Weeks of tension over Texas gun rights shifted to the grind of lawmaking Thursday when more than 100 people waited under heightened security at the Capitol to testify on looser firearm laws that Republicans have prioritized under new Gov. Greg Abbott.
State troopers arrested one man and a gun control group said it brought an unarmed bodyguard in the wake of clashes and unease, including a January confrontation between a Democratic state representative and activists in his office that led to him having a security detail.
But calm and order largely governed a Senate hearing over proposals to legalize concealed firearms on college campuses and open carry everywhere else. Despite its Wild West roots, Texas is one of only six states that prohibit gun owners from holstering handguns in full view.
That may change this legislative session, though. After nine hours of testimony, the committee voted 7-2 along partisan lines to approve both open and campus carry bills, likely fast-tracking them for a full Senate vote when lawmakers can begin passing bills next month.
That wasn't what many who testified hoped to see.
Austin Police Chief Art Acevedo, making an appeal to rivalry instead of ideology, quipped to senators that Texas shouldn't follow the lead of Oklahoma.
"I would follow Oklahoma any day over who we're following now, which is California, Illinois and New York," said Republican state Sen. Brandon Creighton, ticking off a list of Democratic strongholds.
A 34-year-old was arrested for criminal trespass at the Capitol as activists on both sides began crowding a corridor and filling two overflow rooms, Texas Department of Public Safety spokesman Tom Vinger said. He did not immediately provide details.
There were other moments of quiet tension. A volunteer with Moms Demand Action for Gun Sense in America, which said it brought security to the Capitol, gave testimony while seated next to a leader of a gun rights group she accuses of making threats against her organization.
Angela Turner said afterward it was "intimidating" in some ways but described feeling safe around troopers, who she said wouldn't be at grocery stores or playgrounds if Texas legalizes open carry.
Kory Watkins, head of the group Open Carry Tarrant County, has been denounced by other gun rights groups for brash comments and brazen protests that include carrying loaded long guns into stores. Panic buttons also became a concern of lawmakers after Watkins' group refused to leave the office of Democratic state Rep. Poncho Nevarez.
Watkins said he won't stop if open carry fails to pass.
"If you choose to go against my God-given rights, I will continue to walk around with an AK-47 with no license," he said.
But the mostly slow pace of the hearing was a departure from four restless weeks of politics and drama over the proposals — which Texas Republicans have repeatedly tried and failed to pass. Abbott says he will sign an open carry bill but roadblocks have slowed conservative momentum, including some of their own doing.
Republican Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick had expressed uncertainty about open carry passing the Senate, then appeared to walk back those comments after being met with criticism. High-profile opposition has also emerged.
New University of Texas System Chancellor Bill McRaven, the former Navy SEAL who coordinated the raid on Osama bin Laden, has told lawmakers he doesn't want students on his campuses carrying guns. Seven states have some form of law governing campus carry, according to the group Students for Concealed Carry.
McRaven didn't testify but a group of his undergraduates waited for their chance.
Some were concerned with police profiling minorities who might carry guns, a worry that Democrats have echoed.
"There's already a lot of prejudice on campus," said student Brandon Mond, "and I don't feel like guns on campus can make anyone feel safe."

Blood Brothers (tour – Tunbridge Wells)
Paul Lucas-Scott • Brighton, Bromley, Bury St Edmunds, Canterbury, Chelmsford, Chichester, Colchester, Eastbourne, Guildford, Ipswich, Newbury, Norwich, Reading, Southampton, Southend, Stevenage, Watford • 13 Jun 2012
Willy Russell is something of a ladies' man – or should I say, a leading ladies' man. First he gave us Rita / Susan, in Educating Rita, played so brilliantly – in the film version - by Julie Walters. Later came Shirley Valentine, a superb role that will always be so closely associated with Pauline Collins and, sandwiched in between, he created a third Liverpudlian leading lady, Mrs Johnstone, in his 1983 musical – Blood Brothers.
Although it's initial West End run only lasted six months, the Olivier Awards for Best New Musical, and for Barbara Dickson's performance as Mrs Johnstone, hinted at its future potential. Reopening, after a year long national tour, in 1988, the show is now the third longest running musical in London and, despite this longevity, it has never been re-written – giving us a show that greets its returning audience like a well known and well loved friend.
The terrace of slums along either side of the, incredibly highly raked, stage stand defiantly beside the two empty stretchers that are an indication of the tragic tale that is about to unfold. The overture begins and immediately it is apparent that credit for the atmosphere must go to the sound design of Ben Harrison and the amazingly dramatic lighting of Mark Howett.
In the dim light, as the police cover the bodies that now populate the stretchers, the newest member of the touring cast stands, menacingly, waiting to ask, "Did you ever hear of the Johnstone twins?" With a flawless Liverpudlian accent, an almost predatory persona, and an incredible voice, Marti Pellow, is quite simply perfect as the narrator, appearing and disappearing in the shadows around the set.
Playing characters that age from single figures to mid-twenty's in just a couple of hours is never easy but, Sean Jones and Matthew Collyer as the twins Mickey and Eddie manage the transition very well indeed. Their transformations are totally believable, but it is Kelly-Anne Gower, as the love interest, Linda, who steals the award as she morphs from little girl, to teenage temptress, to frustrated wife and mother to… well, most of us know how she ends up.
Jones's real-life wife, Tracy Spencer, gives a first-rate performance as Mrs Lyons, portraying her fear and paranoia with conviction. She is supported well by Tim Churchill as her long suffering, and work obsessed, husband. The rest of the cast are brilliant at covering the multitude of bit-parts and minor characters with Daniel Taylor, suitable vile as Mickey's older-brother Sammy.
Although she is vocally not the strongest performer on the stage, Maureen Nolan is every inch the Scouse mother. She gives everything she has to the part and rides the emotional rollercoaster right the way through to the tear-jerkingly painful end. In possibly the most dramatic five minutes ever to have been written for a musical, her performance of "Tell Me It's Not True", brings the capacity house to tears and, in recognition of such a magnificent performance, straight to its feet.
This amazing show is a theatrical masterpiece - don't miss it!

Ephesians 5
5 Therefore, be imitators of God, as dearly loved children. 2 And walk in love, as the Messiah also loved us and gave Himself for us, a sacrificial and fragrant offering to God. 3 But sexual immorality and any impurity or greed should not even be heard of[a] among you, as is proper for saints. 4 Coarse and foolish talking or crude joking are not suitable, but rather giving thanks. 5 For know and recognize this: Every sexually immoral or impure or greedy person, who is an idolater, does not have an inheritance in the kingdom of the Messiah and of God.
Light versus Darkness
6 Let no one deceive you with empty arguments, for God's wrath is coming on the disobedient because of these things.[b] 7 Therefore, do not become their partners. 8 For you were once darkness, but now you are light in the Lord. Walk as children of light— 9 for the fruit of the light[c] results in all goodness, righteousness, and truth— 10 discerning what is pleasing to the Lord. 11 Don't participate in the fruitless works of darkness, but instead expose them. 12 For it is shameful even to mention what is done by them in secret. 13 Everything exposed by the light is made clear, 14 for what makes everything clear is light. Therefore it is said:
Get up, sleeper, and rise up from the dead, and the Messiah will shine on you.[d]
Consistency in the Christian Life
15 Pay careful attention, then, to how you walk—not as unwise people but as wise— 16 making the most of the time,[e] because the days are evil. 17 So don't be foolish, but understand what the Lord's will is. 18 And don't get drunk with wine, which leads to reckless actions, but be filled by the Spirit:
19 speaking to one another in psalms, hymns, and spiritual songs, singing and making music from your heart to the Lord, 20 giving thanks always for everything to God the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, 21 submitting to one another in the fear of Christ.
Wives and Husbands
22 Wives, submit[f] to your own husbands as to the Lord, 23 for the husband is the head of the wife as Christ is the head of the church. He is the Savior of the body. 24 Now as the church submits to Christ, so wives are to submit to their husbands in everything. 25 Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ loved the church and gave Himself for her 26 to make her holy, cleansing[g] her with the washing of water by the word. 27 He did this to present the church to Himself in splendor, without spot or wrinkle or anything like that, but holy and blameless. 28 In the same way, husbands are to love their wives as their own bodies. He who loves his wife loves himself. 29 For no one ever hates his own flesh but provides and cares for it, just as Christ does for the church, 30 since we are members of His body.[h]
31 For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife, and the two will become one flesh.[i]
32 This mystery is profound, but I am talking about Christ and the church. 33 To sum up, each one of you is to love his wife as himself, and the wife is to respect her husband.

Pros: Inexpensive, works well, has sunscreen, makes your skin look great, non pore clogging
Cons: None!
I have trouble with base makeup. My skin is somewhat dry so anything powdery looks, well, powdery. Cream foundations are nice but seem to slip off my face and disappear in a short time. I have tried many liquid foundations and some were good, some not so good.
Maybelline New York has just introduced a new foundation called Instant Age Rewind and, when I saw it was packaged with a full size tube of concealer of the same name for under $8.00, I guessed at my shade and bought it.
I am amazed. This is really good foundation that covers well, looks natural and really does leave my face looking more youthful. At last, something that lives up to its hype!
The Official Word
This is from Maybelline New Yorks official website:
Instant Age Rewind Foundation
Firms skin and lifts away the signs of ageing instantly
Provides a younger- and healthier-looking finish
Brightens dull and tired skin
Hypoallergenic, doesnt clog pores, dermatologist tested
Good for normal to dry skin
The blue and white cardboard hanger has the foundation in clear plastic and, in my case, a full size tube of the concealer next to it. The foundation is in a heavy, tall, thin glass bottle holding one ounce. It has a simple gray screw top lid.
Why This is Unique
There are a few things that make this foundation stand out from many of the others. For one, it has an SPF of 18. Thats good news for anyone who wants to protect her face but doesnt want to wear sunscreen over her makeup. 18 is plenty for me when I am out and about and not sitting in direct sunlight.
It has caffeine in it. Many people use products with caffeine in them to tighten cellulite on their body. I dont recall any other foundation at this price with caffeine as an ingredient.
While it is made for normal to dry skin, it doesnt look dewy or greasy and doesnt clog my pores, something heavier foundations always do.
My Experience
I chose Creamy Natural for my skin which is the last in the light section. They have twelve shades available for light, medium, and dark skin tones. Although I consider my skin tone to be medium in general, this shade just looked right. And it was. It was exactly my skin color.
When I applied the foundation, I used my fingers. A lot of people use sponges but I just dont have time. It went on smoothly and seemed to instantly make my face more radiant. There are no sparkles or glitters in this but, for some reason, my face lit up. Maybelline says: Micro-pearls illuminate skin for a more radiant, brighter, younger look. I guess it was the micro-pearls that did it!
The foundation is light in texture yet covers well. It isnt for those who want full coverage but average skin types will fare well with this foundation. It evened out my complexion and left my face feeling very soft and natural. Although it is called a firming foundation, I didnt feel like my face was tight or being pulled like I sometimes do with other firming foundations. I felt like I had no make up on at all.
I used my regular gel blush with a hint of powder blush over it and did my eyes, threw on some lip gloss, and left the house for a long day or running around. About seven harried hours later, I managed to catch a look at myself in the mirror and my make up was still firmly in place, very natural looking.
I usually end up looking pale and sickly after a few hours without a touch up of make up so it was a pleasant surprise that I still looked fresh faced after all that time passed.
The foundation washes off easily with cleanser or soap and water.
The color chart on www.maybelline.com is very accurate but, as always, its best to try before you buy if possible. Barring that, be sure to purchase this (and any cosmetic product) at a store that accepts returns or exchanges of cosmetics if they are the wrong shade or consistency for you.
The Ingredients
For those with allergies of who want to see what they are putting on their faces, here is a list of ingredients in Instant Age Rewind:
Active Ingredients
Octinoxate 4.5%
Water , Cyclopentasiloxane , Cyclohexasiloxane , Glycerin , Butylene Glycol , Polyglyceryl-4 Isostearate , Talc , Cetyl PEG , PPG-10 , 1 Dimethicone , Hexyl Laurate , Tribehenin , Dimethicone , Phenyl Trimethicone , Magnesium Sulfate , Polymethylsilsesquioxane , Silica Dimethyl Silylate , PEG , PPG-18 , 18 Dimethicone , Laureth-4 , Diphenyl Dimethicone , Methylparaben , Diazolidinyl Urea , Disodium Stearoyl Glutamate , Propylparaben , Silk Powder , Retinyl Palmitate , Disteardimonium Hectorite , Tocopherol , Caffeine , Aluminum Hydroxide , Ascorbyl Palmitate , Propylene Glycol , Panthenol , Alcohol Denat. , Titanium Dioxide May Contain , Iron Oxides May Contain , Mica May Contain
For those wondering, Octinoxate is the cosmetic form of sunscreen, hence the fact that it is the active ingredient in this product.
Buying Info
Maybelline New Yorks Instant Age Rewind is brand new and you can get it bundled with the under eye concealer (which is excellent) at drug stores, department stores, and most websites that sell cosmetics. I paid $7.99 for both products. I believe the foundation alone sells for about $7.29 but, as always, sales and coupons abound, especially on new products.
You can also see and buy the product at both the original Maybelline website, www.maybelline.com, and the newer but somewhat buggy, www.maybellinenewyork.com which caters to many different countries as opposed to the old site that caters only to the US and Canada.
I really like this foundation. I was surprised that it blended so well with my skin and lit up my face the way it did. I didnt notice a huge amount of age rewinding but I am out to look as good, and as natural, as possible and this foundation certainly did that. It lasts an incredibly long time on my face and feels light and airy. I honestly cant think of any real cons with this product. It is inexpensive, readily available almost anywhere, and it does what it says.
You wont go from looking age 39 to 19 when you wear this, but your skin will look more radiant, you will look more alive and fresh, and your skin will be somewhat firmer without feeling tight. I definitely noticed that I looked more youthful but not dramatically -- just subtly more rested, radiant and fresh. This is a great new product from Maybelline and one I plan to use on a regular basis.
I have to give it five stars. Its that darn good.

I created the Lifejuice Smoothie for people such as myself who suffer from chronic illnesses that drain the energy out of you. I personally suffer from congestive heart failure, as well as many other inter-related illnesses. This drink has literally changed my life! This recipe produces approximately 32 oz. I have one at breakfast and save the other for an afternoon pick me-up. I am excited to hear if others have similar results!
Add ingredients to blender in any order. Blend on high for 30 seconds. Pour and enjoy! Add water as needed to dilute. Add stevia as needed for additional sweetness. I use a VitaMix Blender so I just toss everything in. If using a normal household blender, you will probably want to chop everything up before blending.

County moves toward abandoning Road 443
Rather than temporarily closing a minimum maintenance road in northeast Dawson County, commissioners voted on March 1 to proceed with measures to abandon Road 443 and transfer ownership of the land to adjacent landowners.
Bart Beattie previously asked that the road either be abandoned or improved so construction trucks and equipment could get into property where his family is building a hog confinement operation near Sumner.
Concerned about the condition of the minimum maintenance road, Beattie presented a petition to commissioners that included signatures from adjacent landowners, asking that the county abandon the road so he could make improvements.
Highway superintendent and engineer Jon Mooberry told commissioners that Road 443 is a dead-end road with no benefit to the county.
Mooberry recommended the county host a public hearing to abandon the road. It will be conducted during the next county board meeting on March 14 .
In other action, the county board:
withdrew pavement of 1.95 miles of Road 768 northeast of Gothenburg from the federal aid project list as a housekeeping measure. The road has already been paved with county funds and donations.
accepted a bid for $169,000 for a 2011 John Deere road grader from Murphy Implement for roads department use near Farnam. The only other bid from CAT was slightly higher.
appointed Dave Lahm and Curtis Sargent to a joint zoning board with the Cozad Airport Authority in anticipation of proposed construction near the Cozad airport.
approved opening a dual-control account for money received from county vending machine beverage sales as per a request from auditors.
chose not to participate in a survey by Douglas County, investigating the possibility of merging the assessor and register of deeds offices.
authorized further investigation by county officials into a change from MIPS network services to CSTG Inc. of Omaha for improved computer support and secure off-site backup.
