Match report: Nigeria beat Burkina Faso 1-0 to win 2013 Africa Cup of Nations
Posted: 10 February 2013 Time: 22:25
Sunday Mba scored on Sunday night to hand Nigeria a 1-0 win over Burkina Faso in the Africa Cup of Nations Final.
For a gallery of last night's action CLICK HERE!
It is 19 years since Nigeria took the title – and Stephen Keshi becomes only the second man to win the trophy as player and coach (the other being the late Egypt legend Mahmoud El Gohary).
Burkina Faso played a hard-fought game, but were ultimately outclassed by the Super Eagles, who sealed the win with a Nigeria-based youngster in Mba, supporting Keshi's philosophy of getting rid of the 'egos' in the national team set-up.
The match started as a scrappy affair, although Nigeria settled soonest.
Brown Ideye was the first to have a go when he shot over an empty goal, after Burkina Faso goalkeeper Daouda Diakite could not hold onto an easy catch after a corner.
Aristide Bance, who made an impression in the semi-final, had a couple of chances soon after, sending a long-range effort over the bar, and then hitting a free-kick from 20 metres just wide.
Nigeria broke the deadlock on 40 minutes, and credit must go to the Super Eagles for persisting in the box. The referee waved play on after a foul outside the area, and Victor Moses could have got a penalty but stayed on his feet to send the ball to Ikechukwu Uche in the box. The ball then broke to Mba, who flicked it up over a defender and, before it hit the ground, sent a fizzing volley into the net.
The Stallions almost came straight back into it, when Jonathan Pitroipa went down in the area after a challenge from Kenneth Omeruo. The referee did not consider it a penalty, and rightly so. Shortly after that Bance hit yet another long-range shot over the bar.
Just before half-time Mba, high on confidence after his goal, shot well over with a long-range effort from outside the box.
Just after the restart Nigeria could have doubled their advantage when Moses lost his marker and played the ball to Ideye, but his shot from a tight angle was just tipped wide by Diakite at the far post.
A few minutes later Moses found himself in a one-on-one situation approaching the keeper, but took too long to have a shot, allowing the defence to catch up with him, and the opportunity was lost.
On the half-hour mark Nigeria went on a speedy counter-attack, culminating in Moses finding substitute Ahmed Musa in the box, but the striker fell over with a goal in his sights.
Burkina Faso then went on a counter attack of their own, with Prejuce Nakoulma playing in substitute Wilfried Sanou, who hit a great shot towards the far post, but Vincent Enyeama made a fantastic finger-tip save to keep Nigeria in the lead.
Nigeria then had two chances in close succession: Moses was denied by Diakite from close range, before Ideye failed to get on the end of a ball across goal.
But Nigeria held onto their lead nonetheless, and went on to lift the trophy for their third Nations Cup victory.

DPA ranked among the top 200 physics departments in the world according to research impact and excellence
October 16, 2012 - The University of Delaware is listed among the top universities in the world, based on a new report on the production and impact of scientific papers. The 2012 Performance Ranking of Scientific Papers for World Universities, released Oct. 9 by National Taiwan University, is based on statistics of scientific papers that reflect three major performance criteria: research productivity, research impact and research excellence.
In the rankings of the world's top universities by fields, UD is listed at 298 overall, just after Sichuan University and just ahead of Shandong University and the University of Nebraska. In addition to the overall ranking, the report also included rankings of individual subjects areas and fields.
By subject, UD had three in the world's top 100. Chemical engineering was ranked 38, just behind the University of Minnesota and the University of Queensland and just ahead of the University of Colorado, the University of British Columbia, Hanyang University and Stanford University. Mechanical engineering was ranked 85 and civil engineering 91.
Other subject areas ranked were: Chemistry, which was ranked 129; materials science, 132; environment and ecology, 142; geoscience, 162; electrical engineering, 188; physics, 199; mathematics, 244; plant and animal science, 278; and computer science, 285.
Among US physics departments, DPA rank is 63, tied with Washington University St. Louis, Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute (RPI), and New Mexico State University.
By field of study, UD earned world rankings in engineering, 135; natural sciences, 180; agriculture, 197; and social sciences, 242.
"These rankings highlight the substantial impact being made by our research and scholarship," said Nancy Brickhouse, interim provost. "Our faculty are thought leaders whose contributions to their fields are impacting fellow scholars around the globe, and we are proud to again be listed among the world's top universities."
The Taiwan ranking, formerly published by HEEACT (the Higher Education Evaluation and Accreditation Council of Taiwan), evaluates both short-term and long-term research performance of a university.
HEEACT published its first worldwide university ranking based on scientific paper performance in 2007.

January Partners
I'm finally doing it. I'm launching my own company. This is my window. The time is now. Over my 13-year career I have worked for investment firms and M&A advisory firms, and spent some time in sales and operations. Now I am raising my own small fund to acquire a small existing company and take over the CEO spot. I chose the name "January" for several reasons: (1) It is the month I was born, (2) it was the month I lost my father to cancer earlier this year and (3) it is the month of new resolutions and new beginnings. I left my last job because the founders were unethical. I also had my first child in April. So I have had many life changes over the past year and this is a very meaningful venture to me.
About me: born in N.J., college in North Carolina, grad school at Stanford, lived in NYC for 10 years, Yankees fan, UNC sports fan, athletic, do triathlons, married with a daughter, like to hunt and fish, like the outdoors, like rivers, spent my summers in Barnegat Light, NJ (where there is a lighthouse - Google Barnegat Lighthouse).
Small business owners - I must appear credible in the eyes of entrepreneurs and owner/operators of small companies. These are people that started their own companies from scratch and have run them successfully for years. They might be ready to retire and want someone to take care of their "baby."
Lenders - when I buy the company, I will need to borrow money. I want banks to have confidence in me and my firm.
Business Advisors - small business owners will hire advisors or investment bnaks to help them. I must appear credible to them. Remember I am a 1-man shop but will have investors backing me.
Investors - I must have a professional logo on my website and business card so that investors believe I am credible and capable.
* Need logo that is web-ready and print-ready (business cards and brochures)
* Prefer a clear background because I don't know what color my website background will be
* I may also need some help with buttons & borders that match the logo for the website
*** I went to college at UNC-Chapel Hill. I like the school colors which you can see here: http://www.unc.edu/index.htm
* Along with the "Carolina blue" you might add some greys and darker blues
* Not too many colors
* I want something unique, but not crazy.
* It should look professional
* Be creative with creating the logo and how the text is written. The word "January" is more important than "Partners"
* I prefer logos that "read" left-to-right rather than those with a lot of height. I will need to put the logo at the top of the website and on letterhead, and prefer it stretches more left-to-right than up-and-down.

The routine use of mammography to screen healthy women for breast cancer is leading to the widespread detection and treatment of tumours that would never have caused symptoms, a study in the New England Journal of Medicine asserts today. The results inject yet another dose of controversy into an area that is already hotly debated.
The study examined the effects of mammography screens on breast-cancer incidence between 1976 and 2008 in US women over 40. The authors conclude that more than one million women diagnosed with the disease would never have developed symptoms. In 2008 alone, they estimate, more than 70,000 women had such breast tumours diagnosed, accounting for 31% of all breast cancers diagnosed in women 40 and older.
"Our study raises serious questions about the value of screening mammography," the paper concludes. "The harm of overdiagnosis [is] probably larger than has been previously recognized." The diagnosed women, the authors add, have undergone treatments involving surgery, radiation, hormones and chemotherapy "for abnormalities that otherwise would not have caused illness".
The study does not address the situation of women who have an inherited genetic predisposition to breast cancer. Women in this group tend to get an aggressive form of the disease at much younger ages, and need to be actively screened using mammography.
Screening storm
The findings add to the ongoing controversy over breast-cancer screening. In 2009, the US government's Preventive Services Task Force caused an uproar when it recommended against routinely screening women in their 40s. Last month, a review commissioned by the UK Department of Health found that there was overdiagnosis of breast cancer, but concluded that the country's national screening programme was still worthwhile.
The latest study1 has sparked both praise and harsh criticism. The American College of Radiology in Reston, Virginia, which represents the physicians who interpret mammograms, called it "deeply flawed and misleading". But Frances Visco, president of the National Breast Cancer Coalition in Washington, DC, which has concluded that breast cancer screening does not reduce significantly mortality from the disease, says the benefits of mammography have long been overstated. "This is a very well-done study looking at three decades of data and it has confirmed what a number of studies from other countires have shown: That we really haven't reduced late stage, metastatic diagnoses through screening."
The study authors -- oncologist Archie Bleyer of the St Charles Regional Cancer Center in Bend, Oregon, and H. Gilbert Welch, a professor of medicine at Dartmouth College's Geisel School of Medicine in Hanover, New Hampshire -- examined the change in incidence of early-stage and late-stage breast cancer after large numbers of women began to have screening mammograms in the mid-1980s.
As expected with the advent of a widespread screening programme, they found that diagnoses of early-stage disease more than doubled during the three decades, with an increase of 122 cases for every 100,000 women. The authors argue that if the screening was working as intended and stopping those cancers from progressing to a more harmful disease, then one would expect to see a roughly equivalent decrease in late diagnoses.
Instead, they found that, assuming a steady underlying rate of breast cancer incidence, the number of late-diagnosed cancers decreased by only 8 cases per 100,000 women. Their inference: many of the early cases being detected through screening would not have gone on to cause symptomatic disease. They also conclude that mammography's contribution to the sharp decline in breast-cancer mortality rates during the same period must therefore be small.
Wider worries
Cancer biostatistician Colin Begg, who is chairman of the Department of Epidemiology and Biostatistics at the Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center in New York and was not involved in the study, says that there is unquestionably a large number of excess diagnoses due to screening. But, he adds, the study is on "much shakier ground" in minimizing mammography's contribution to declining mortality.
"This is a critical issue, since I suspect women contemplating screening are much more concerned about preventing death from breast cancer than they are about the impact of a false-positive diagnosis," says Begg. He adds: "The positive impact of screening on mortality has been studied in numerous randomized screening trials, and they provide much more compelling evidence on this issue than this descriptive, retrospective analysis."
The paper "is going to lead women to think that mammography is terrible", says Daniel Kopans, a professor of radiology at Harvard Medical School in Boston, Massachusetts, who helped to draft the statement by the American College of Radiology. "Some women will avoid screening as a result, maybe a lot of women. And they will die."
"We are not against screening," Bleyer says. "It does save lives. But a need to be more concerned about the harms [of screening] becomes more apparent from the results of our study."

Yesterday on the blog we talked about a Reuters story which quoted Erin Arvedlund, author of "Too Good to Be True," of saying the Wilpon family lost $700 million in the Madoff scam and would be forced to sell the team by early of 2010.
Fred Wilpon told the New York Times, "I'm fine, my family's fine, my business family's fine."
Wilpon also said the family has an emotional attachment to the Mets and would not sell the team. Wilpon said the team's revenue from its share of the MLB television deal, luxury suits, ticket sales, concessions, ad revenue at Citi Field and its share of SNY were not affected by the scam. He said the Madoff losses were significantly less than $700 million, but did not specify.
Wilpon paid $135 million to buy out Nelson Doubleday's share of the team in 2002, and the Mets, according to Forbes Magazine, are currently worth $912 million.
Major League Baseball monitors the finances of each team quarterly, and president Bob DuPuy said the team is under no financial distress.

Mann Bites Dog: Why 'Climategate' Was Newsworthy
Mark Boslough
Skeptical Inquirer Volume 34.2, March / April 2010
When a dog bites a man, that is not news, because it happens so often. But if a man bites a dog, that is news.
—John D. Bogart
As evidence for human-caused climate change has mounted, global warming denialists have responded by blaming the messengers. Climate researchers have endured abuse by bloggers, editorial writers, Fox News pundits, and radio talk show hosts who have called them liars and vilified them as frauds. The attacks had become increasingly vile as the past decade, the hottest in human history, came to an end. Angry activists have called for firings and criminal investigations, and some prominent scientists have received physical threats.
Politicians have also gotten into the act. In 2005, Sen. James Inhofe (R-OK) referred to global warming as the "greatest hoax ever perpetrated on the American people." Rep. Joe Barton (R-TX) sent a harassing letter to Michael Mann (now a professor at Pennsylvania State University) and his coauthors of the famous "hockey stick" paleoclimate paper, demanding that they drop everything to provide him with extensive documentation about what he claimed were "methodological flaws and data errors" in their work.
Denialists have attempted to call the science into question by writing articles that include fabricated data. They've improperly graphed data using tricks to hide evidence that contradicts their beliefs. They chronically misrepresent the careful published work of scientists, distorting all logic and meaning in an organized misinformation campaign. To an uncritical media and gullible non-scientists, this ongoing conflict has had the intended effect: it gives the appearance of a scientific controversy and seems to contradict climate researchers who have stated that the scientific debate over the reality of human-caused climate change is over (statements that have been distorted by denialists to imply the ridiculous claim that in all respects "the science is settled").
Science, however, has ground rules. Those who don't follow the rules are entitled to their opinions but cannot legitimately claim to be participating in a scientific debate. One rule that must be followed for scientific results to be accepted is that they must be subjected to review and published in a scholarly scientific journal. This is a necessary but insufficient condition (nobody is compelled to accept the conclusions of a paper just because it has been refereed).
This rule is not intended to create a "high priesthood" of scientists or keep others from participating. On the contrary, the culture of science welcomes dissent and encourages contrarians to publish their ideas so they can be subjected to the same scrutiny that is applied to conventional thought.
Peer review is designed to screen out material that is demonstrably wrong, flawed, illogical, or fabricated. Non-specialists are not always able to quickly spot errors in a highly technical piece of work, so experts are recruited to make sure any mistakes are corrected and necessary documentation is provided before the science is published.
The first thing I do when I read an editorial or blog entry is check to see if the supposed science has been published in scientific literature. If not, I don't see why I should bother to read what nobody could be bothered to put through scientific peer review. My reasoning is not that such material is necessarily wrong, but without any scientific review I have no assurance that anyone has checked to see if the equations are right, data sources correctly cited, figures properly attributed, or other workers' conclusions fairly represented.
The global warming debate continues, at least among the science-challenged. The calculation of the mass of CO2 produced from burning a gallon of gasoline was the subject of a recent vigorous disagreement on the letters page of our local newspaper. This is a question that a decent high school chemistry student should be able to answer, but the highly opinionated letter writers were not able to resolve their differences, despite the fact that reaction stoichiometry is indisputably settled science.
Likewise, a competent high school physics student understands how the so-called greenhouse effect works and that conservation of energy is also settled science. It has been known for over a hundred years that adding CO2 to the atmosphere increases its infrared opacity, and when this happens, more energy from sunlight enters Earth's atmosphere than escapes. The atmosphere must heat up on average. There is no scientific debate about this fact, and nobody has ever published a "zero-warming" theory to explain how it could be otherwise.
There is, however, a healthy, open, honest, and active scientific debate in the peer-reviewed scientific literature about the degree of climate change. The best scientific estimate of the amount of warming (when CO2 levels double, which is likely to happen this century) is about 3°C. There are scientists who disagree—some think it's higher and some lower—and have published the basis for their disagreement.
Having lost the scientific debate, denialists have now resorted to hacking into a computer system and stealing private correspondence to distract those who prefer controversy to science. To those of us in the scientific community, it came as no surprise that researchers who had endured personal attacks had trouble rising above the fray. But the harsh tone of some messages by Mann and others caught the attention of the voyeurs who read them precisely because they were in sharp contrast to the way scientists usually speak in public. The attempts to force editors not to publish papers critical of the scientists and suggestions to boycott journals were inappropriate and unsuccessful (journal editors resisted pressure and published the papers anyway). They also were not unusual—certainly not beneath those in the opposite camp. And even though the widely reported "trick" used to "hide the decline" was legitimate (using real temperatures instead of a faulty tree-ring proxy to represent the temperature record), it sounded like something denialists would do, so it was assumed to be crooked.
The very fact that Climategate was newsworthy is evidence that reporters hold scientists to a much higher standard than they hold denialists, even if they won't admit it in their quest to report a controversy.

Former Ravens defensive tackle and current Poly coach Larry Webster brought more than 60 players from the Engineers' varsity, junior varsity and freshmen squads to Tuesday's practice at the Ravens' training complex in Owings Mills.
And while the youngsters were mesmerized by the likes of Ray Rice, Ray Lewis and Ed Reed, they also got a chance to meet wide receiver LaQuan Williams, a former Engineer himself.
If the student-athletes were excited about Williams, he felt the same way about their visit.
"It means a lot," Williams said. "It goes to show that dreams can come true. Like I told those kids out there, go for your dreams, because it's possible they can come true. Don't ever let anyone tell you that you can't make it. Seeing those kids reminds me of where I came from and how far I've made it."
Williams, who defied the odds as an undrafted rookie to make the team's active 53-man roster in 2011, said he enjoys inspiration to the members of the Poly football team.
"I'm a guy that made it out, and I'm playing for my hometown team. So that's something that I take pride in," he said. "I want to give back to the community. I want to be the guy that is out here and being an inspiration for the kids."

It's not what USDA did in its July 11 report that's important. It's what it didn't do — lower U.S. trend yields for soybeans and corn.
"When you cut to the chase on the report, USDA left the yield estimate unchanged," said Don Roose, president and CEO with U.S. Commodities. "Current crop ratings say we're not sitting on those types of yields. So we're just going to watch and see how the weather unfolds."
Roose forecasts a 134- to 135-bushel yield on corn and 38.5 bushels on soybeans, compared to USDA's estimate of 137 bushels and 39 bushels, respectively.
A lower yield could have a big impact on production, the analyst noted. "For each bushel that you drop on soybeans, we lose about 74 million bushels of production, and for each bushel of corn you drop, that's 69 billion bushels."
Why does Roose think the yields will decline? "We know that the crop ratings are under a year ago on both corn and soybeans. We also know that historically from mid-July on, crop ratings continue to deteriorate. And when we start out sub par to other years, we usually see yields continue to ratchet down."
Another factor that may be bullish for beans later on are old-crop ending stocks, now estimated at 255 million bushels. Many analysts believe that number may end up being a little smaller. "I think there's still an opportunity to see some new sales, and ending stocks may drift a little lower on the next report," said Brian Scott, grain analyst with Allendale.
Are we picking up a theme in the government report? You bet, says Roose. "The government is being very conservative. When there is a weather market, they don't want to move numbers down too low and then have to move them up again.
"I think they've walked the tightrope very conservatively on the world numbers on China, Argentina, Canada and the United States. I think they'd rather err on being a little too large early on."
Those lower production numbers are largely reflective of weather problems all around the world.
So when will nervousness over increased demand and weather begin affecting the market? "The end user probably doesn't want to get caught chasing the market up to higher levels, like he did in 1995/96," Roose said. "Right now, we're in a big rally, but we're still cheap. The demand out of China is positive, and it's a long-term type of demand that we really need.
"We probably have put in our contract and seasonal lows," he added. "We've had a market since January that's been in a contra-seasonal move. We should be moving lower this time of the year and we're moving higher. It's due to a number of reasons, a sloppy start here and globally.
"We have a market that has a strong solid base under it," he said. "This is the first time since 1995/96 that we've seen the market in this position. We're losing production and increasing demand right in the face of changing the farm bill. Overall, the downside potential short-term is limited and quite possibly, long-term."
USDA forecast winter wheat production at 1.974 billion bushels, up 3 percent from the June forecast. Ending stocks for wheat were estimated at 610 million bushels, down from the old crop estimate of 873 million bushels.
The agency forecast U.S. soybean ending stocks at 345 million bushels, compared to the old crop estimate of 255 million bushels. Corn ending stocks were estimated at 1.828 billion bushels, down from the old crop estimate of 2.053 billion bushels.

This post was almost given the title: "what's with all the jars with three fingers of stale beer?" But, that isn't very snappy, now is it? To say nothing of its terrible SEO qualities.
The answer to the question is, as they say, somewhat complicated. One of my favourite recipes in my cookbook, the Canadian Craft Beer Cookbook, is not really a recipe at all. It's more of a process – three in fact – for turning good beer into excellent vinegar.
I go through the why's and how's in some detail in the book, but the short version is something like this: just as there is a microbial action that converts the sugar in wort to the alcohol and carbon dioxide in beer; there is also one that further metabolizes that alcohol into acetic acid. Different microbes and different results, but they are similar. (more…)

About Chris O
Lives in London
Since Aug 2007
Hi. I'm Chris, an American freelance creative living in London. I keep busy working as a blogger, photojournalist, community manager, consultant, curator and more. The opportunities and challenges keep getting bigger, better and more meaningful for me every year! I'm having so much fun. Favorite destinations are many and my list of must-see places to visit seems to get longer the more I travel! I'm a huge fan of Lisbon, Istanbul and Queenstown – to name but a few preferred repeat locations. I also love heading back to the States every chance I find and cannot get enough of the Deep South – Texas, Louisiana, Georgia, Florida, Tennessee and the Carolinas – and Hawaii holds a particularly special place in my heart as well. And even though I've been based in London for years, it and the whole of Britain still yield myriad wonders for me.
Here's a look at the best of Orlando beyond all its majorly mega attractions.

Nothing's beefier than a Beefy King fresh cut roast beef sandwich (although the King's pastrami sandwich comes close). A mainstay on the Central Floridian fast food scene for nearly half a century, foodies in the know make a dash here when craving something meaty served quick and with a smile.
This masterfully restored Spanish farmhouse designed by architect James Gamble Rogers II, evokes a sense of 19th century Spain — even as it overlooks a modern day golf course — and serves the greater Orlando community as both an historic museum and unique events space.
The Charles Hosmer Morse Museum is home to the world's largest collection of Louis Comfort Tiffany art, including the chapel interior that Morse designed for the 1893 World's Columbian Exposition in Chicago. You'll find one of America's most important collections of pottery here and more.
Located on campus at Rollins College, Cornell Fine Arts Museum has a collection featuring more than 5,000 works — ranging from ancient to contemporary — with important pieces by Chagall, Picasso, Warhol, Moore, Basquiat, and many more. The museum also holds the only European Old Masters collection in the Orlando area.
Opened in 1949 and still owned by the same family, Gatorland is Orlando's longest running theme park. This 100+ acre attraction features a free-flight aviary, petting zoo, animal shows, alligator breeding marsh, a Screamin' Gator Zip Line, and more; along with the chance to see lots and lots of alligators and crocodiles, including four rare leucistic 'white' alligators.
Not to everyone's tastes perhaps — the Holy Land Experience is a Christian theme park in Orlando based on the religious history of first-century Jerusalem. It contains recreations of famous artifacts and also stages in-depth re-enactments of the Stations of the Cross, and life size cut-outs of Tammy Faye Baker.
Voice of the Beat Generation, Jack Kerouac, lived in this humble house for a year during which time he wrote the novel 'The Dharma Bums.' Today, the house is home to a highly esteemed 'Writers in Residence' Program and welcomes interested guests who arrange visits beforehand.
This 50-acre 'botanical oasis' set in downtown Orlando is a designated US Historic District, and as vibrantly beautiful as any garden you could ever hope to visit.
One man's trash/another man's treasure and so much more can be found at this gargantuan flea market. A visit here is not just a chance to sift through jazzy junk however — Renninger's is also home to a popular antiques market, as well as hosting a range of events throughout the year.

Dion Watts needed a new logo design and created a contest on 99designs.
3 winners were selected from 108 designs submitted by 13 freelance designers.
Watts MMA & Fitness
We are a Mixed Martial Arts (MMA) school. We started as a Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu school and added Muay Thai kick boxing. Now we have changed our name from Simi Valley Jiu-Jitsu to Watts MMA & Fitness. We also have a bigger location and have added CrossFit, Karate, Cardio Kick Boxing and Boot Camps. I want a cool logo that can work for kids and Adults. I am hoping for something without too many colors so that I can make t-shirts and not go broke. Also I would like the logo to possibly have two versions. One that says Watts MMA without the fitness added. This is not a must but a plus.
We are trying to target Jiu-Jitsu fighters, kids and Fitness nuts first. Then, MMA fighters. Although MMA is what we are set up for, there is not as much money in it :-( So a logo that looks good on a t-shirt and is easy to spot is what I am looking for.
I am pretty open. I am not opposed to animals or skeletons being used but would rather a simple clean logo with just words and a symbol. Triangles are in Jiu-Jitsu logos a lot. If it works, fine but not necessary since we are not just a Jiu-Jitsu school anymore. I will attach some logos I like. I probably tend to think old school skateboard logos in my head but I really want something current even if it is new to me.

It has now been a little over two weeks since I went for a Rejuvenize peel from La Papillon Spa. The Rejuvenize peel is a medical grade chemical peel from SkinMedica and is only performed in doctor's offices or by trained professionals at medi-spas. This type of chemical peel requires several days of downtime, where you won't want people who don't live in your house to see you. I got my peel right before the largest snow storm in Maryland history hit, but had I not been snowbound, I would have been homebound for three or four full days. This peel is normally prescribed in a series of three. My results show what happened to my skin after one peel.
To recap, this peel doesn't hurt, but does tingle when it is applied. It also can feel like you have a sunburn from time to time. Essentially, you are putting a controlled chemical on your skin to remove several surface layers of skin, so you should expect a small amount of discomfort. However, it the amount of "uncomfortable-ness" isn't anything that would make me hesitant to do this again. You can read everything that happened during my peel here, or keep reading for the results.
Under a Woods Lamp, which highlights sun damage, here is what I looked like pre-peel:
I was able to go to work for the first twenty-four hours. I started peeling dramatically around hour thirty-six.
While you are in the peeling process, you can't use any of your regular skin care. No eye creams, no serums, no moisturizers. Once I was cleared for returning to my usual routine (around day 8), I needed a little help. Without the use of my normal products, my skin needed a little boost to get back into the swing of things. To get my skin into its most glowing condition possible post-peel, I used SkinCeuticals Rextexturizing Serum. This product claims to surpass the results of using a 20% glycolic acid daily. It also helps boost hydration and helped my skin continue to look even more radiant and luminous post peel.
When my skin seemed to be dehydrated in the week following the peel, Madeleine suggested I switch from my Kate Somerville Quench to something a little stronger. She suggested I use SkinCeuticals B-5 Gel, which is like a tall drink of water for your skin. Once I used the B-5 a few times, I noticed a distinct improvement in my skin's hydration levels.
And here is what I look like two weeks after having the Rejuvenize Peel:
The biggest improvement, I think, is in the overall texture of my skin. My skin had a slightly rough texture that normal exfoliation wasn't fixing. Now, the texture of my skin is much more smooth and my skin looks luminous and healthier.
So what does this look like without any makeup and with a light, sheer foundation in natural light?
(Here is another shot of my skin in different lighting that really shows the improved texture of my skin.)
Want a Rejuvenize peel for yourself? Visit the SkinMedica website to find licensed professionals. In Maryland? Call La Papillon at 410.252.1400 or visit them at www.lapapillonspa.com.
This peel was provided for the purposes of review. Products were also partially furnished by Jan Marini and SkinCeuticals for the purposes of review.

Emilie Rose eBooks
Bestselling Silhouette Desire author and Rita finalist Emilie Rose has sold 27 projects to Harlequin/Silhouette since her first sale in 2001, and her books have been released in over 20 countries around the globe.

Community Service
Central Penn College Gives Back!
Each term, Central Penn College sponsors a campus-wide community service day. Students, Faculty and Staff are encouraged to attend and give back to their community. Projects can range in scope from manual labor to serving meals or volunteering for a special event. Service locations vary across the area surrounding the Central Penn locations in Summerdale and Lancaster.
Past Service Locations
|Leg Up Farm Playground Build
Mt. Wolf, PA
On Halloween day Central Penn students, faculty and staff volunteered their time at Leg Up Farm, a therapy center dedicated to improving the lives of children with special needs and their families through an effective combination of therapeutic programs and services, education and advocacy. Participants assisted with their community build project and played a vital role in the organizations goal: building a brand new playground, from scratch, in one week. Central Penn organized volunteers for the first day of the build, and when a photo of the completed project was shared with the participants, they couldn't believe their eyes! Check out the photos below!

Northern Rockies Sky for June: Ursa Major and the Big Dipper
A monthly look at the night skies of the northern Rocky Mountains, written by astronomers Ron Canterna, University of Wyoming; Jay Norris, Challis, Idaho Observatory; and Daryl Macomb, Boise State University.
If you look directory overhead right after sunset this month, you will see the easily recognizable constellation Ursa Major and the Big Dipper. The Big Dipper is a part of the Big Bear. H.A. Rey, the creator and author of the children's book series "Curious George," had a unique way of viewing the stars and the big bear, as seen in this month's chart.
Ursa Major, the big bear, is one of the oldest constellations and is referenced in the Bible and in Homer's writings. In Greek mythology, it is associated with Callisto, the beautiful maiden sworn to chastity. She eventually was seduced by Zeus, had a son, and lived in the forest as a bear.
The Big Dipper, also known as the Plough, has seven very bright stars. In Hindu legend, these stars represent the seven Sages. Since the Big Dipper is used to find the north direction, mariners, campers and even the slaves in the Civil War's Underground Railroad have used it.
Today, we know the properties of these seven stars, the two brightest being Alioth and Duhbe (means the back of the bear). The most interesting of the seven stars is Mizar, a double binary star with a fainter nearby companion, Alcor, another binary star.
June Planet Alert: Right after sunset, toward the west, you will see Venus, and nearby, Mercury, which is at its greatest elongation from the sun. Saturn is seen near Spica between the constellations Virgo and Libra.
Oh, the summer solstice is June 21, so welcome summer -- we badly need it.
Astronomy from Orbit: Gamma-ray Bursts --The Interplanetary Network
(Best URL: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/InterPlanetary_Network )
Last month we discussed the Vela satellites -- designed to monitor the Earth for nuclear explosions, but which also discovered gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) of cosmic origin in 1967.
Since GRBs are brief (durations spanning less than a second to a few minutes), one-time events, the direction to a GRB is a priori unknown. Some gamma-ray instrumentation of that era was collimated with slats (like a venetian blind) and used to point at known sources, but these instruments could be of no use for determining directions to GRBs.
Instead, by analyzing the difference in time of arrival of an intensity spike in a GRB time profile -- as observed by two Vela satellites -- the GRB's direction could be determined to within a few degrees accuracy. Here's how that works: Geometrically, the difference in arrival time of the intensity spike for the satellite pair translates into a source position lying on a hyperboloid of revolution. Extrapolated to a large distance (e.g., way outside the solar system), the intersection of a hyperboloid with the distant star sphere is a circle.
Three participating satellites yield three circles that happen to mutually intersect in two points; four satellites reduce the position solution to one point. With wider satellite separations (therefore longer light travel times between pairs) and narrower intensity spikes, the GRB localizations are more accurate. The Vela satellites were in high Earth orbit separated by an order 100,000 miles, so the difference in light travel time was roughly a large fraction of a second. The resulting few-degree accuracy eliminated all terrestrial and solar system sources, but left the rest of the cosmos suspect.
By 1978, the Velas' capability was augmented with the addition of spacecraft flying to Venus, including NASA's Pioneer Venus Orbiter, and the Russian Venera 11 and 12, as well as the German Helios 2 orbiting the sun. Then, with the light travel time differences between these spacecraft of up to a few minutes, GRB localizations were reduced to a few arc minutes.
Still, no apparent counterparts at visible, ultraviolet, infrared or radio wavelengths were found within the smaller localization error regions that the "Interplanetary Network" (IPN) produced. As the years have gone by, satellites have expired and others have joined to IPN, and GRBs continue to be localized by the IPN to this day.
However, clues to the GRB distance scale and its eventual elucidation awaited development and launch of GRB instrumentation in the 1990s -- to be discussed next time.

|A Rainbow Snake captured in a trap in southwestern Georgia
Possessing such bright colors, you might expect that Rainbow Snakes are hard to miss. But, they are rarely seen. Some say we don't see these snakes often because they're so aquatic, spending much of their time completely submerged. There is likely some truth to this, even when Rainbow Snakes poke their head out of the water to breathe, they may still be concealed by vegetation or root masses. Other people say that we don't see the Rainbow Snake often because their populations are declining and they are truly rare.
This is a tough sell. When an animal is hard to find, it's exceedingly difficult to know how their populations are doing. It is just impossible to know how many animals there are at any given time. But, the hypothesis of declining populations may have some merit. One scientific article from 1945 reported that Rainbow Snakes were among the most commonly observed snakes in the marshes of Kent County, Virginia. That's a hard fact to fathom for many herpetologists I know, most of whom have never seen a single Rainbow Snake in the wild (myself included).
Around 1950, a population of Rainbow Snakes was found in Glades County, Florida, near Lake Okeechobee. Since the animals were distinct from Rainbow Snakes elsewhere, they were considered a separate subspecies. No other animals from this area were ever found again. After many years of fruitless searches, the United States Fish and Wildlife Service recently decided the subspecies was extinct.
If Rainbow Snakes are declining, what is causing their populations to crash? The answer may relate to their habitat and food preferences. This species happens to be relatively picky about both. Rainbow Snakes prefer flowing streams and rivers with clear water. So, pollution and damming may ruin their habitats. Interestingly, adult Rainbow Snakes are thought to eat almost exclusively eels, Anguilla rostrata. Eels have their own problems, and no eels means no Rainbow Snakes.
But, I'm going way off topic from what I originally intended to write about. Rainbow Snakes (and their close relative, the Mudsnakes) are just fascinating animals. I recently submitted a short note describing some aspects of their natural history, I'll write more about them here if the note gets published. In any case, back to the topic at hand.
The article I saw yesterday, which describes a Rainbow Snake sighting in Virginia, contains this quote, "The raimbow (sic) snake and it's (sic) close relative, the mud snake, will thrash about…and actually try to stab the handler with its tail that ends in a somewhat sharp point."
That sounds fairly terrifying. And, I think it's safe to say that it kind of implies that Rainbow Snakes can, well…stab a person.
They can't.
Rainbow Snakes have a scale on the tip of their tail that is hardened, compared to the other scales on their body. They sometimes do exhibit the very intriguing behavior of pressing their tail against your skin. But, it's a gently prodding touch, not anything close to what would be required to break your skin (a side note: whenever I have handled Rainbow or Mudsnakes they have been very docile and don't mind my touch; they certainly did not "thrash about").
It's actually a mystery as to why Rainbow Snakes press their tail against people handling them. It seems to be much too gentle of a touch to deter predators. Some have suggested that Rainbow Snakes may use their specialized tail tip to help handle their slippery eel prey. In any case, it is likely that this behavior has led to the origin of a couple entertaining snake myths, including that of the stinging snake and the hoop snake. I'll tackle these myths in a future column, this one accidentally went too long.
Have you ever seen a Rainbow Snake? I would be very interested to hear of the experience below (especially if it stabbed you).
Much of what I write is based on my experience in the field, however I also rely on the research of others, citations of some relevant scientific articles are below.

The wearing of hats is a serious business. The American tradition of switching from felt to straw hats for summer, i.e. between Memorial Day and Labor Day, and then back again, was once taken so seriously that in September 1922 there were riots in Manhattan when sartorially zealous teenagers (!) went round knocking the straw hats off men who had yet to make the seasonal switch back to felt hats. Happily things are more relaxed these days, but it still makes sense to wear a straw hat in the heat, when it will provide the sun protection for which it was invented.
For this reason we were intrigued when one of the most notable style details that we spotted on our recent trip to LA was a nascent resurgence in the popularity of the straw hat. Hats have, largely, been out of fashion for 50 years; the great decline in their popularity has been traced back to President Kennedy's 1963 inauguration, when he controversially avoided appearing in the top hat that was traditionally worn to the event. In reality, President Kennedy communicated rather than caused the decline of hat wearing. For a variety of reasons, which are set out in Mr Neil Steinberg's excellent 2004 book Hatless Jack, headwear went from being an essential part of a man's outfit to an eccentric affectation within a generation.
For stylish men, however, the hat never went away. From author Mr Tom Wolfe to actor Mr Johnny Depp via British jazz musician Mr George Melly, creative guys seem drawn to wearing hats. It's a tradition continued by musicians like Mr Bruno Mars and K'Naan, and actors like Mr Brad Pitt. The easiest way to wear a straw hat is to follow the example of the Angelenos whose style we admired, and choose a hat with a small brim, possibly in black straw. However, if you do like the classic Panama style, give the look some attitude by wearing the hat with a tilt.

It's easy to get the right size by measuring
your own head:
Take a soft tape measure and wrap it around your head, positioning it mid-forehead and just above the ears. Make sure it's in a straight line and is neither tight nor loose. Record the measurement in inches or centimeters and order with confidence.
Mobile food trucks serving gourmet food are the latest trend in LA dining. But you'll have to find their location on Twitter first. Who knew 140 characters could lead to such culinary delight?
We recommend: Buttermilk's red velvet chocolate-chip pancakes with cream cheese icing.
Find on twitter at www.twitter.com/ButtermilkTruck
Nestled in the underbelly of the Beverly Hills Hotel and decorated like a page ripped out of a 1950s House & Garden, the Fountain Coffee Room serves the best milkshakes and floats in LA.

23The former priests were many in number, because they were prevented by death from continuing in office, 24but he holds his priesthood permanently, because he continues forever. 25Consequently, he is able to save to the uttermost those who draw near to God through him, since he always lives to make intercession for them. —Hebrews 7:23-25
Scripture assures us that Jesus Himself is praying for you and me—this minute. Hebrews 7:25 makes the following amazing statement: "Consequently, [Jesus] is able to save to the uttermost those who draw near to God through him, since he always lives to make intercession for them." Jesus lives to intercede for you. He can and will completely save those who trust in Him for salvation. What He accomplished on the cross He continues to apply to your life as He talks to His Father about you. Amazing!
The word intercede includes the sense of pleading—Jesus is continuously and persuasively presenting you before His Father! Before you ever kneel down to pour out your heart to God, Jesus Christ has already called out to His Father on your behalf. Even before you ask, He knows from firsthand contact what you need—because He's with you.
Much of Hebrews focuses on the uniqueness of Christ. Among His special roles is the mantle of priest that He carries out as no one else can. Throughout the history of Israel, priests were part of daily life and a crucial aspect of anyone's relationship with God. But priests were always as human as those they served. Only Christ became the priest who could do perfectly what every other priest could only do in part.
One of the indelible pictures of Jesus in the Gospels occurs at the end of the Last Supper. In John 17, when Jesus offered what we call His High Priestly Prayer, we're given a good idea of how Jesus intercedes for us. Not only did He pray for the disciples who were with Him, but He also prayed for us today when He called us "those who will believe in me through their word" (v.20). Before He returned to His Father and long before we were ever born, Jesus was already interceding for us. Once He accomplished His mission to provide us with salvation, He took on the task of preservation, keeping us in prayer continuously.
Here's a challenge: If you could hear the Lord praying for you in the next room, you would not fear a thousand enemies. So right now, think of the Lord Jesus in the next room, on His knees in front of a couch or chair. His nail-pierced hands are held out and He's lifting you and your need to His Father. He knows your exact situation. He's asking His Father to give you strength, wisdom, and patience. He knows you will crash and burn on your own, so He is praying for your faith to overcome your fear.
Remember Jesus' words to Peter before Peter's biggest failure: "Simon, Simon, behold, Satan demanded to have you, that he might sift you like wheat, but I have prayed for you that your faith may not fail. And when you have turned again, strengthen your brothers" (Luke 22:31–32). Jesus doesn't let your inevitable stumbles and falls keep Him from praying for you. So don't let your failures keep you from Him.
Because it's an incredible assertion in Scripture that Jesus Christ is not only with you, but "he always lives to make intercession for [you]."
Lord, thank You for the encouragement and comfort that comes from knowing Your Son is praying for me. I know He has Your attention and that together, You will always do what is best for me. You continually give me good reasons to do better as I remember You are helping every step of the way. Forgive me for my failures, and like Peter, show me how You can continue to use my life despite my tendency to fall short. That's when You demonstrate Your power and mercy. In Jesus' name, amen.
