After an investigator has documented, evaluated, and processed the body, he or she must record the decedent's profile information. He or she should follow these steps:
Principle: Establishing a decedent profile includes documenting a discovery history and circumstances surrounding the discovery. The basic profile will dictate subsequent levels of investigation, jurisdiction and authority. The focus (breadth/depth) of further investigation is dependent on this information.
Authorization: Medical Examiner/Coroner Official Office Policy Manual; State or Federal Statutory Authority.
Policy: The investigator shall document the discovery history, available witnesses and apparent circumstances leading to death.
Procedure: For an investigator to correctly document the discovery history, he/she should:
Summary: The investigator must produce clear, concise, documented information concerning who discovered the body, what the circumstances of discovery were, where the discovery occurred, when the discovery was made and how the discovery was made.
Principle: Preterminal circumstances play a significant role in determining cause and manner of death. Documentation of medical intervention and/or procurement of antemortem specimens help to establish the decedent's condition prior to death.
Policy: The investigator shall document known circumstances and medical intervention preceding death.
Procedure: In order for the investigator to determine terminal episode history, he/she should:
Summary: Obtaining records of pre-terminal circumstances and medical history distinguishes medical treatment from trauma. The history, relevant antemortem specimens, and electronic data collected and/or transmitted may assist the medical examiner/coroner in determining cause and manner of death.
Principle: The majority of deaths referred to the medical examiner/coroner are natural deaths. Establishing the decedent's medical history helps to focus the investigation. Documenting the decedent's medical signs or symptoms prior to death determines the need for subsequent examinations. The relationship between disease and injury may play a role in the cause, manner and circumstances of death.
Policy: The investigator shall obtain the decedent's past medical history.
Procedure: Through interviews and review of the written records, the investigator should:
Summary: Obtaining a thorough medical history focuses the investigation, aids in disposition of the case, and helps determine the need for a post-mortem examination or other laboratory tests or studies. Potential sources of medical information should include but are not limited to nursing homes, hospice agencies, intermediate care and assisted living facilities. Electronic media can be a valuable source of information for obtaining a decedent's medical history.
Principle: The decedent's mental health history can provide insight into the behavior/state of mind of the individual. That insight may produce clues that will aid in establishing the cause, manner and circumstances of the death.
Policy: The investigator shall obtain information from sources familiar with the decedent pertaining to the decedent's mental health history.
Procedure: The investigator should attempt to:
Summary: Knowledge of the mental health history allows the investigator to properly evaluate the decedent's state of mind and contributes to the determination of cause, manner and circumstances of death.
Principle: Social history includes marital, family, sexual, educational, employment and financial information. Daily routines, habits and activities, and friends and associates of the decedent help in developing the decedent's profile. This information will aid in establishing the cause, manner and circumstances of death.
Policy: The investigator shall obtain social history information from sources familiar with the decedent.
Procedure: When collecting relevant social history information, the investigator should:
Summary: Information from sources familiar with the decedent pertaining to the decedent's social history assists in the determination of cause, manner and circumstances of death. Special attention may be required in dependent populations (e.g., infants, special needs and the elderly).

5 Questions With ... Scars On 45
English indie quintet Scars On 45 were the recent guest for an installment of The Recording Academy's 5 Questions With … series. Held at The Academy's headquarters in Santa Monica, Calif., Scars On 45 discussed the origin of their name, their songwriting process, the formation of the band, touring the United States, and advice for aspiring musicians, among other topics.
"I can honestly say that we've fallen in love with the place," said vocalist/guitarist Danny Bemrose on touring in the United States. "We can go from playing in New York and Los Angeles [to] San Francisco [and] Whitefish, Montana, and every single person [has] welcomed [us] with open arms."
Formed in Leeds, England, by Bemrose after he suffered a foot injury from playing professional soccer, Scars On 45 features Aimee Driver (vocals), Chris Durling (drums), Stuart Nichols (bass), and David "Nova" Nowakowski (keyboards). The group's sound is described as a combination of the "gentle melodic intensity of Snow Patrol or Keane with the added allure of co-ed vocals." The group derived their name from an interview with Emmylou Harris in which the GRAMMY-winning artist recalled her father advising her not to get any "scars on his 45s" as she played them. After their song "Beauty's Running Wild" was featured on an episode of "CSI: NY," the band was signed to Chop Shop Records and in January released an EP, Give Me Something. The band's "Heart On Fire" is featured on the soundtrack for the current season of "Grey's Anatomy." Scars On 45 are currently on tour throughout the United States with rock/R&B artist Marc Broussard.

Like many small towns in North Carolina's Piedmont region, Mooresville got its start as a farming community. Here, the main cash crop was cotton, and the location was chosen because of its fertile land, and its close proximity to a large natural well. The railroad came through in the mid-1850s, and an enterprising planter named John Franklin Moore built a depot on his land. Before too long, a small village had grown up around the depot, and Mooresville was born.
These days, the once quiet agrarian village of Mooresville is known as "Race City USA." This town of more than 30,000 people is home to over 60 NASCAR teams and related businesses, and an INDYCAR team. The North Carolina Auto Racing Hall of Fame and the Memory Lane Motorsports and Historical Automotive Museum are popular local attractions. Another thing that Mooresville residents love about their city is its close proximity to Lake Norman State Park. At the lake, locals and visitors enjoy swimming, boating, waterskiing, fishing, and more.
It's no wonder that Mooresville is growing so fast. It's close to Charlotte, has diverse employment opportunities, and offers an excellent quality of life to residents.
In addition to being a wonderful place to work, to live, and to raise children, Mooresville real estate has a lot of options for the discriminating house hunter. Looking for a luxury getaway on the waterfront? Mooresville water front homes are plentiful! Trying to find a reasonably priced place for your growing family? Look no further than the many affordable Huntersville homes for sale. How about a home only a short walk from 18 holes of golf? It's all here, in Mooresville, North Carolina.
Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices Carolinas Realty is the best place to start looking at homes for sale in Mooresville and your perfect home. Nobody knows Mooresville real estate in the Piedmont like we do, and our real estate experts are always eager to help. Use our experience and expertise to your advantage.

Starcraft 2 World Championship '12 Spoiler: South Korea Wins
Subject: General Tech, Shows and Expos | November 21, 2012 - 02:58 PM | Scott Michaud
Tagged: starcraft 2
Starcraft is one of those franchises which fit the spectator game mold. The action can start as early as two minutes in and either player could buckle and break at any moment. Spectators anticipate how chosen tactics will interact before the players are privy to all the required information and appreciate the skill of the execution as it happens.
Enough tournaments are held throughout the year that many upper-tier players need to choose where they will participate. The South Korean GSL and American MLG are two of the most popular tournament organizations but when developer-publisher Blizzard hosts an international tournament with $250,000 USD of prizes it instantly proves its worth.
The 2012 Battle.net World Championship wrapped up from Shanghai, China over the last weekend. Competitors from 14 countries on five continents clashed until we were left with South Korea taking Bronze, Silver, and Gold.
There was not too much Terran love present this year with just four of the 32 finalists needing to construct additional supply depots. Quarterfinals saw an even split between Protoss and Zerg which eventually paired down to a Protoss versus Protoss finale.
The Gold Medalist PartinG received a PartinG gift, heh heh, of $100,000. This prize makes him the second-highest earning Protoss competitor behind Korean MC of team oGs.
Blizzard has already booked next year's tournament to coincide with BlizzCon 2013 which will return after its 2012 hiatus.
I was watching these games live, via the Battle.net steams, very fun to watch these guys play at this level. Ive been playing StarCraft since 1998, it was actually the game that got me into PC gaming (well that and WarCraft).
The things the surprised me the most out of these finals were the fact that most of the players were playing Protoss, which at the MLG finals a few weeks ago it was mainly Zerg and Terran (almost 50/50) and only like 2 Protoss players.
Btw, if anyone still wants to watch any of the replays (they are all casted, some by "Day9"), its on Battle.net
Most the tournies its toss/zerg dominated. Terran is rather weak race of the game cause some building speed boosts they don't get the other 2 have. I watched quite a few of the regional tournaments over last 4-5 months. Its majority protoss or zerg that dominate. Only on a few times terran players make it decent way through.
Actually Terran was dominant for the longest time.
They don't have Chronoboost or Larva/Larva Inject but they do have MULEs and reactors.
Also, marines (ghosts late-lategame) are synergistic with just about any unit composition you can produce.

Independent living centers (ILCs) provide assistance to people with all kinds of disabilities. These agencies were created to promote independence and self-determination for individuals, as well as to offer support and information to families and communities. Services provided by ILCs include: peer support, information and referral, independent living skills training, coordination of personal care and other services, advocacy and community education.
ILCs are community-based, non-residential, non-profit agencies in the private sector. A majority of the members of the boards governing these agencies are people with disabilities.
The federal Rehabilitation Act establishes many of the definitions and requirements for the operation of the centers. In Wisconsin, section 46.96 of the statutes governs State contracts with independent living centers. The contracts are administered by Bureau of Aging and Disability Resources staff in the Department of Health Services. For questions, please contact Lisa Sobczyk at 608-266-9354 or by email at email@example.com.
Independent living centers receive a large share of their funding through federal and state grants. ILCs supplement their budgets with funds from other agenciessuch as United Way, county social service agencies and private foundations.

Kaka: 'Brazil has not convinced yet'
Kaka believes his fellow Brazilians can win the World Cup -- if they can get past Colombia in the quarterfinals.
The midfielder, who recently signed with new MLS team Orlando City after missing out on Brazil's World Cup squad, said in an interview on ESPN that the Selecao still have plenty to prove after sneaking past Chile on penalties in the round of 16.
"I think Brazil has played some good games but Brazil has not convinced yet with good football," Kaka said. "But Brazil has a lot of talent. Neymar is playing good.
"I think the game against Colombia will be a nice challenge for us Brazilians because Colombia is doing so great in the competition. If we win against Colombia I think Brazil can arrive in the final and win the World Cup too."
Should Brazil get past Colombia on Friday, Kaka sees the only other South American team remaining as the biggest potential threat to ruining the host country's party.
"Maybe Argentina because one final between Brazil and Argentina in Brazil would be amazing as a final, but I can't imagine Argentina beating Brazil in the final," Kaka said.
Orlando City, who will begin play in MLS in 2015, unveiled Kaka as the club's first designated player on Monday. Kaka said playing in the United States fulfills a career goal.
"I said sometimes, a few times, that one day I'd like to play in the American league, in MLS," he told ESPN. "And I think this time has arrived with Orlando because I'm a friend of Flavio [Augusto da Silva], the owner.
"I think Orlando has an amazing project and I've been convinced for this project. I think we can do a lot of good things together. I think this team has good potential to [show] America how fun is soccer. For a lot of reasons I've been convinced to play for Orlando next season."
Before joining Orlando City, Kaka will play on loan with Sao Paulo, the club with whom he began his youth and professional career before being sold to AC Milan in 2003.

Ex-receptionist accused of stealing $30k from pet clinicBy MARK HAYWARD
New Hampshire Union Leader
December 02. 2013 8:25PM
Police charged a former receptionist at a Goffstown veterinary clinic with embezzling $30,000 from her employer over a five-year period, a theft she allegedly covered up by altering treatment records of pets under the clinic's care, Goffstown police said Monday.
Police said it appears that Melissa A. Huszarski, 31, of 221 Snook Road, Goffstown, pocketed portions of cash payments made by pet owners who brought their animals to Glen Lake Animal Hospital. After charging customers, Huszarski allegedly deleted computer records about treatments and vaccinations delivered to the pets, police said.
"It was hundreds and hundreds of different transactions," said police Capt. Robert Browne, who said he brings his children's two Chihuahuas to the clinic.
The president of the company that owns the practice said Huszarski had been an enthusiastic worker and had received a five-year bonus check about a month before the irregularities were discovered.
"Everyone's very close there, and she had seemed to be an ideal employee," said Lee Garrod, president of Veterinary Critical Care, which also owns clinics in Lee and southern Maine. "Perhaps we should have done an audit trail, but you trust your employees, especially those who are so enthusiastic."
Garrod said managers realized something was amiss when they told a pet owner that his dog was due for a Lyme disease shot, citing the pet's veterinary record. The owner went home and returned with a printed invoice that showed the date of the vaccination and his payment, she said.
Browne said Huszarski would print out the invoices with the correct information for the customer, and then later allegedly altered the records. He said most owners throw away their invoice, and rely on the records of the practice.
Police started the investigation in early July after receiving a complaint from Glen Lake, Browne said. He said the police department put at least 40 hours into the investigation. The audit found that the thefts increased in frequency, from monthly, to weekly, to almost daily, Garrod said.
Garrod said Huszarski was fired in the summer. She started blurting out that it could have been anyone, even though no one had yet accused her of anything, Garrod said. Huszarski stormed out and no one has seen her since, Garrod said.
Garrod said the computer audit trail allows the clinic to know what records Huszarski had altered; proper notations have been made to those records.
Police said Huszarski is being held on $15,000 cash bail and is due to be arraigned this morning in Goffstown District Court. On-line descriptions of the Huszarski home say it is a three-bedroom, 2,300-square-foot home on two acres outside of the downtown. It is owned by a Florida couple.

The popular family game Scrabble has seen sales rocket by 65 per cent since it was revealed The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge are fans of the word game.
Last week, speaking on the ITV documentary 'Our Queen' Olympic boxer Anthony Ogogo recalled a conversation he had with Catherine. He revealed that Catherine told him the royal couple are fans of the game, but often are unable to finish the game due to arguments.
Since the revelation, sales of the popular word game have increased by 65 per cent on auction website eBay and once again shows how influential the young royals can be.
eBay spokesman Steven Heywood said: "Board games have always been a hit amongst British families, and it seems the royal family is no exception."
He continued "Scrabble is top of the list of the nation's game of choice."
The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge have been known to be competitive with one another, and took part in a friendly dragon boat race on Prince Edward Island's Dalvay Lake in Canada, during their Canadian tour in 2011.
William and Catherine seemed to enjoy the race, both being keen sporting fans, the Duke was in the middle of his team's boat rowing while the Duchess of Cambridge, sat in the back of her boat to steer her team's boat. Unfortunately for the Duchess, William's team prevailed as the winners, although after the race, William did console Catherine with a hug.
Last week, The Duchess of Cambridge, who is expecting her first child in July revealed she is hoping for a baby boy, and has said Prince William would like a little girl. The Queen confirmed earlier this year, that the royal baby will become a HRH Prince or Princess.

Large protest in Spain against planned part-privatization of national health care services
- Image 1 of 2
- Image 2 of 2
MADRID – Thousands of Spanish medical workers and residents are marching through downtown Madrid to protest against government budget cuts and plans to partly privatize their cherished national health service.
The demonstration is the latest of several, described as a "white tide" because of the color of the medical scrubs many protesters wear.
The protesters walked Monday behind a large banner saying, "Health care is not to be sold, it's to be defended."
Health care and education are currently administered by Spain's 17 semi-autonomous regions rather than the central government. Madrid proposes selling off the management of six of 20 large public hospitals and 27 of 268 health centers.
The Spanish government argues the sell-offs and cuts are needed to secure health services during a deep recession.

Looking for a part-time volunteer intern for the school year or a full-time volunteer intern for the summer?
Internships are a great opportunity for employers and for students. Employers can benefit from the immediate assistance of a law student at no cost. Students can learn about a particular practice area and gain practical legal experience. The Career Services Office would be happy to post an internship opportunity for you.
Please note that not every position qualifies as an internship. The U.S. Department of Labor Wage and Hour Division has established six criteria to be applied when determining whether an intern in the "for profit" private sector must be paid minimum wage and overtime under the Fair Labor Act.

The ultimate goal for every 4-H member is to be selected as a best of show winner, state fair delegate, or grand champion.
The following is a list of events and times for the 4-H members:
Dogs, Cats, and Small Pets
The smaller animal shows will be held Saturday, July 6 and will include dogs, cats, and other small pets.

These projects range from the introductory cooking projects involving cookie and coffeecakes to the advanced projects including pastry shells, yeast bread rolls, and homemade candies.
The table decorating contest will be an exciting highlight of the food show. Members who register for this project build a table setting and decoration around the theme. Members will be limited to 15 minutes to decorate their table around their theme. The top decorators in each age category will win cash prizes.
Older 4-H members are eligible to compete in the Chef's Challenge. This competition tests the knowledge members have retained over their years of cooking instruction. Members will draw a mystery recipe from a hat. Members are then expected to make the item in front of the judges and audience, using proper food sanitation, safety and preparation skills. The Chef's Challenge competition is slated to begin at 1 p.m.
Clothing Show
The clothing show will be held at 12:30 p.m. Monday, July 8. Clothing exhibitors have the option of making or purchasing their garments. These members will also model their garments at the fashion revue. The fashion revue will be held Wednesday evening in order to share the hard work that this project can involve with the general public during the 4-H awards show.
Well known rabbit and poultry judge, Mike Wilson, will begin the rabbit and poultry shows with his expert evaluations at 4 p.m. Monday afternoon in the rabbit barn at the fairgrounds.
General Projects
The busiest day of the year in the world of White County 4-H begins at 9 a.m. at the White County Fairgrounds. On Tuesday, July 9 members will bring in their general projects for conference-style judging. Members have worked a full year on everything from visual arts projects to photography projects to crops and woodworking projects. Registration for the day begins at 8 a.m. The show will be held in the floral hall building at the White County fairgrounds. The general project event is closed to the public until judging is complete.
Nearly 60 entries are scheduled to be judged Wednesday at the livestock barn. Swine, Beef and Dairy, Goats and Sheep projects will all be judged by class. This show usually takes most of the morning. In addition, 4-Hers showing sheep wethers will receive $10 from John Martin Williams Insurance Agency for each sheep wether they show. Donnie Seitz Lawn and Firewood Service will sponsor a drawing of $50, $25, $15, and $10 to boys and girls showing sheep wethers at this year's livestock show.
Archery Shoot
New this year will be an archery shoot for members of the White Co. 4-H Shooting Sports SPIN Club. This will be held at 12 p.m. on Wednesday, July 10 on the fairgrounds. Participants will compete in different archery shoots while being awarded placing's/ratings based on performance.
Tractor-Driving Contest
This year the 4-H tractor driving contest will be held at 2 p.m. Wednesday, July 10 at the White County Fairgrounds. White County 4-H would like to thank McLean Implement of Norris City for sponsoring this year's tractor for the contest by providing a John Deere for the 4-H members to drive. Participants will compete in different 'tractor agility' courses at the fairgrounds as well as parts identification and a written test.
Awards Program
All 4-H members will be recognized at an awards program at 6 p.m. Wednesday at the fairground grandstand (weather permitting). This year, Old National Bank will sponsor all the trophies and belt buckles earned by 4-H members throughout the week. In addition, nearly a $1000 in college scholarships will be awarded to White County High School seniors that graduated in 2013.
Auction of Blue Ribbon Animals _The Annual 4-H Auction of Blue Ribbon Animals will be held at 8 p.m. Wednesday evening, July 10. Businesses and individuals are encouraged to support the 4-H members as they further their agricultural endeavors. Money earned at the auction is often used by the members to purchase new stock, farm equipment, and automobiles or further their education after high school.
Returning as guest auctioneers are Rick Davis and George Johnson, and Kelly Leavens from All Things Photo and Design serving as photographer.
Last year the blue ribbon auction brought in over $25,000. In addition to animals, plates of cookies, pies and other baked goods are offered throughout the auction, so that buyers can support the 4-H program at all levels of donations.
Carcass Contest
The carcass contests are going to be similar to last year's contests. Enfield Packing Plant will be very 'packed' on Friday, July 19 when White County 4-H members along with Wayne County 4-Hers meet up for a combined carcass contest at 2 p.m. Because Wayne County 4-H fair comes to an end at the same time as White County's, the combination of the county's carcass shows will enable the judge (shared between the counties and whose hometown is Thompsonville) to make only one trip to this area. The carcasses will be scored on ribeye/chop area, rate of gain, marbling and color. The contest is fully funded by Enfield Packing Plant.
One of the 4-H organization's national slogans reads, "4-H is a community of young people across America who is learning leadership, citizenship and life skills." 4-H is a great asset to White County and the surrounding communities. These young people grow up here, learning leadership, citizenship, and life skills and then reflect the values of White County. For more information on the 4-H program in White County, contact Amy McCarty, extension program coordinator for 4-H at 382-2662.

It's ironic — and hard to admit — that, while I advise clients on money management, my husband and I have racked up $40,000 of credit card debt. That's why a few weeks ago, in order to save money, I moved to my dad's house with my husband and two toddlers.
How did this happen?
It began with using our credit cards to pay for home improvements and furnishings because we were obsessed with creating our "perfect" home. We also made the arguable mistake of buying an older house, not realizing the maintenance costs that could come with it:
- $9,000 for a basement waterproofing system
- $5,000 for a new furnace
- $10,000 for doors that lock and windows that don't leak.
Then, my husband lost his job twice in four years—a period during which we had two children. For several months, many of our essential expenses went on credit cards. We've only been able to make the minimum monthly payments, resulting in thousands of dollars in additional interest-related debt.
So how do we stop this revolving door of debt? To buy time, we can transfer balances to cards with promotional low rates. We can consider a cash-out refinance, home equity or other kind of loan. We might be lucky enough to have a friend or relative willing to lend us money to pay off our high-interest debt, although the relationship risks may not be worth it.
But none of these options would address the root of the problem: living beyond our means. If we can't (or won't) budget properly, the debt door will keep spinning, faster and faster. No matter what we do to pay down our debt, I am determined to stop adding to it and pledge to NOT live beyond my means anymore.

US 30-year mortgage rate at 2-year high: 4.46 pct.
WASHINGTON (AP) — Average U.S. rates on fixed mortgages surged this week to their highest levels in two years, and the rate on the 30-year loan jumped by the most in 26 years.
The increase is evidence that the Federal Reserve's comments about possibly reducing its bond purchases are already affecting consumers.
Mortgage buyer Freddie Mac said Thursday that the average on the 30-year loan jumped to 4.46 percent. That's up from 3.93 percent last week and is the highest since July 2011. The increase was also the biggest since April 1987.
The rate on the 15-year mortgage rose to 3.50 percent from 3.04 percent last week. That's the highest since August 2011.
Interest rates have jumped after Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke said on June 19 that the Fed could slow its bond purchases later this year if the economy strengthens. Since Bernanke's comments, the yield on the 10-year Treasury note has risen to a two-year high. Mortgage rates tend to track the yield on the Treasury note.
Mortgage rates remain low by historical standards. But the sudden jump in rates could make home buying more expensive with each passing week.
A buyer taking out a $200,000 mortgage at a 3.35 percent rate would pay $881 a month, according to Bankrate.com. The monthly mortgage payment jumps to $1,008 a month at a rate of 4.46 percent. That's an increase of $127 a month, which over 30 years adds $45,720 to the cost of the loan. The figures don't include taxes and insurance.
Patrick Newport, an economist at IHS Global Insight, doesn't see the rise in mortgage rates dampening the housing market over the long term.
"We will probably see some impact. ... Any time the price of something goes up, people buy it," Newport said. "But demand for housing is so strong right now. Higher mortgage rates won't do much to slow down the housing market."
Rates remain historically low, he noted, and there's still pent-up demand for houses after several years of depressed construction and a limited number of homes for sale.
A more pressing problem than higher rates is the availability of credit for home borrowers, Newport said. The biggest barrier for many homebuyers has been difficulty obtaining a mortgage. Banks have tightened lending standards since the financial crisis erupted in 2008.

SkinStore.com Announces the Addition of SkinMedica Lytera Skin Brightening Complex
SkinMedica's Lytera Skin Brightening Complex Addresses the Appearance of Skin Discoloration and Dark Spots
By: Marketwired .
Feb. 4, 2013 06:57 PM
GOLD RIVER, CA -- (Marketwire) -- 02/04/13 -- SkinStore.com, the nation's leading e-commerce specialty retailer providing scientifically sound solutions for healing and maintaining healthy skin, has added SkinMedica LYTERA Skin Brightening Complex to its assortment of premium products.
Featuring a proprietary blend of ingredients, SkinMedica LYTERA Skin Brightening Complex works to brighten and even skin tone by reducing the appearance of dark spots and skin discoloration. The luxurious formula contains highly effective antioxidants which help to reveal a smooth, luminous complexion. In clinical studies, Lytera demonstrated similar efficacy when compared to the somewhat controversial ingredient, 4% hydroquinone. A recent clinical study reported that 85% of patients saw a greater improvement in overall skin condition after 12 weeks of treatment, and 79% of patients reported greater improvement in evenness of skin tone after 12 weeks of treatment.
"Recent advances have given numerous options for those seeking anti-aging therapies. However, treatment of dark patches and hyperpigmentation is just as important in rejuvenation as fine lines and wrinkles, and there is a lack of truly efficacious treatments available in this arena," said board-certified dermatologist, Dr. Annie Chiu. "The strong clinical results and multi-modal formulation of Lytera Skin Brightening Complex makes it a unique and vital addition to any brightening regimen," added Dr. Chiu.
Christina Bertolino, Senior Buying Manager at SkinStore.com, said, "SkinMedica continues to be an industry leader by providing safe, effective products. LYTERA Brightening Complex is not only effective, but also Hydroquinone-free."

Employers, Students Brave Blizzard to Build Their Futures
By Kevin Hodur | Published
Michigan Tech's Career Fair is an event awash in numbers, statistics, efforts to quantify the success of our students and the health of the overall economy. The numbers so frequently tell the story.
Behind these figures, though, there are the students and employers themselves, and the careers and lives that they're building together. Tuesday, the Multipurpose Room at the Student Development Complex hosted hundreds of companies that braved a blizzard to meet the ambitious, motivated and talented students of Michigan Tech.
Largest Spring Fair Ever
Representatives of 229 corporations attended, and more than 2,000 interviews were scheduled.
Just inside the doors of the SDC is the Michigan Tech Sports Hall of Fame. Shortly before noon, it was a sea of winter jackets and boots. There is even a full-body hunting suit visible in the piles of synthetic fibers. Students have braved a blizzard, with more than a foot of snow, determined to show up and stand out. Classes have just been canceled due to the weather, a true Tech rarity. The question of canceling the Career Fair is moot, however: students are crowding the lobby, a half-hour before the fair opens.
Inside the room, most of the companies are set up and ready to go. Clusters of smiling professionals in colorful polo shirts are eager to spend a few minutes talking about their companies, keeping an eye on the main door and the rush of students they expect and hope for.
Randy Poirier is director of drives and propulsion engineering at Mercury Marine. He's also a graduate of Michigan Tech, so he knows what to expect at the Career Fair. "From Michigan Tech students we expect a good technical education, but also hands-on experience," he says. "The Enterprise program and Senior Design fit well with our organization."
Mercury Marine is planning on conducting 70 interviews while on campus, splitting between full-time positions and co-ops. "Tech has young, talented individuals, so this is one of our primary spots," says Poirier.
Across the floor, Christopher Strebel from Integrys is happy to be back on campus, having graduated eight years ago. His company is looking to fill five positions, "from intern to co-op and full time. " It's a familiar path for him: he smiles while looking out across the room from his corner booth, remembering being in the students' shoes. "That was me not too long ago."
At the opposite corner of the room, Rob Sweet of Jackson National Life Insurance is equally enthusiastic about recruiting at Tech. "We recruit more than half of our internships here," he says "And we make a significant number of full-time offers to those interns, too." Jackson recently opened an office in Michigan Tech's SmartZone facility, making a close relationship even closer, and Sweet relocated here to work in the office. The company's commitment to Tech runs deep.
Former students abound around the room, from Burlington Northern-Santa Fe to Bechtel and many of the booths in between. The pipeline of Michigan Tech students is a strong one, demonstrating the value of a Tech education.
High Starting Salaries
Tech graduates earn the 12th highest starting salaries in the nation among public universities; the average starting salary is $56,000.
For the Career Services staff , this is one of the biggest days of the year, months of labor brought to a head the help students find the next step in their paths. Dozens of employees, assistants and students are helping to make this event the success it is every semester. It's a carefully choreographed routine put on by a team of professionals. They take pride in the helping hand they are able to give to the students of Michigan Tech.
"This is the largest spring Career Fair we've ever had, beating last year's total by about fifty companies," says Julie Way, assistant director of Career Services. "And it's the largest career fair per capita in the entire country."
All of this effort tells the story of a Michigan Tech education. Brenda Rudiger, executive director of Alumni Relations, recounts one such tale as she exchanges stories with the many alumni here as company representatives. A student had his pants tailored for today and tried to pick them up this morning. But the blizzard left most local businesses closed. A few phone calls and a lot of tenacity later, he found a way to pick up his pants and be ready for the big day. "They're showing a special kind of dedication today," Rudiger says, understating it.
96% placement rate
Diana Olechiw, a first-year student in management information systems, is here to think about an internship and get a sense of what goes on at Career Fair. "I wanted to scope it out; that way when I really need an internship, I'm ready."
Out in the hallway, Dean Keithly, a mechanical engineering student from Rochester Hills, Michigan, is taking a break, a small, contented smile on his face. "Catching my breath," he says. "I think I've got nine or ten interviews lined up so far. I have a lot more booths to stop at, though."
Dyllan Walker, an environmental engineering student, feels equally confident, saying that "it all went really well, so I'm waiting for some calls."
Confidence was a theme for many students, with one electrical engineering student quipping, "it can be a little overwhelming, but yeah, I'm confident." Ryan Carli, a chemical engineering student, waits in line to meet with a representative. He is relaxed, chatting with a friend. "Nothing but confident," he says with a smile.
Tuesday evening and Wednesday will be filled with literally thousands of interviews. In the shadow of the biggest snowstorm of the season, these students are breaking the ice, paving the way for their next steps.
Back in the hallway, Glen Shaw, a mechanical engineering student graduating soon, is attending his final Career Fair, getting ready for the job he's always wanted. "I've got two interviews lined up already, and I expect to get nine or ten more," he says. He stops, thinking about what comes next. "It's not about how many," he says after a second. "These interviews are for the job I want, and they're near my family and friends." He's back in motion, flipping through his portfolio, ready to take another lap around the room. "It's exactly what I want to be doing."
Michigan Technological University is a public research university, home to more than 7,000 students from 54 countries. Founded in 1885, the University offers more than 120 undergraduate and graduate degree programs in science and technology, engineering, forestry, business and economics, health professions, humanities, mathematics, and social sciences. Our campus in Michigan's Upper Peninsula overlooks the Keweenaw Waterway and is just a few miles from Lake Superior.

Green light for online Ed.D. program
Lamar University's online programs have moved to the head of the class with the approval of its proposed online Doctorate of Education in Educational Leadership by the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board today.
The degree, which will be offered through a 100-percent online program, builds upon the university's experience in online education and its expertise in education as a NCATE-accredited institution of higher learning. The program complements the university's successful on-campus Ed.D. program. It will not impact the current on-campus program that currently enrolls 65 students and has seen a 95 percent graduation rate with more than 60 graduates to date, officials said.
The Ed.D. program will allow students to focus their studies in the areas of effective schools, diversity and multiculturalism, or higher education.
"Doctoral students are educators who want to become effective leaders in a wide array of settings where they emphasis is on student learning and quality teaching," said Paula Nichols, executive director of distance learning at Lamar. "Our program will prepare educators to promote effective schooling and success for all learners in an increasingly diverse society. Our graduates will be prepared for roles as leaders in schools, colleges, universities, health and human service agencies, and a variety of other public and private educational settings."
The program already has a waiting list of more than 100 individuals and a ready market of applicants in the more than 4,000 graduates of Lamar's online Master's of Education programs. The Texas Association of School Administrators estimates that more than 70 percent of current public school superintendents will be eligible for retirement within the next five years. The doctorate is required or expected in large urban and surrounding school districts with more than 75 percent of campus principals holding a doctorate degree. Almost all central office positions, such as executive directors, assistant or associate superintendents, and superintendents require a doctorate.
The new online Ed.D. program will be managed by the university using experience it has gained in its successful online master's programs, Nichols said.
"The online delivery of our existing and highly successful doctoral program will meet the needs of leaders in Texas education who are familiar with Lamar's model of five-week rigorous graduate-level courses," said Paula Nichols, executive director of distance learning at Lamar.
Enrollment in Lamar's two master's in education programs reached a peak of 4,100, comprising 21 percent of the university's total enrollment, helping Lamar become the fastest-growing state university in Texas and moving its Graduate College of Education from 211th in the U.S. in total enrollment to seventh in just 18 months.
The basic model of the master's program is delivery of Lamar's accredited instructional content from its faculty, but with the assistance of instructional associates to help students with more routine issues and concerns. The support of the academic coaches enables each faculty member to work with a much greater number of students than would be possible in a more traditional format. Experience not only shows that the model works, but that its educational outcomes meet, or exceed, those of the more traditional methods, Nichols said.
In 2010, a special committee of the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools, the accrediting body for the university, conducted a comprehensive on-site audit of the entire program. That committee noted that the educational model was well suited for Texas teachers as "self-disciplined inquiry-learners." The on-line students are exceeding the on-campus student's performance on the TExES Certification exam, official said.
Also in 2010, the Texas Education Agency's director of education standards and the deputy associate commissioner conducted a comprehensive audit of the Lamar online graduate education program and commended it for providing a comprehensive, research-based instruction program that was appropriate for distance learning.
Both the SACS and TEA committees commended the frequent feedback given to the graduate students, the monitoring of their field experiences and research projects and the daily interaction made possible in the program.

Searles Science Building - 219
I am interested in I/O-efficient algorithms and data structures, in particular in I/O-efficient graph algorithms and applications to Geographic Information Systems (GIS).
A significant part of my work has been motivated by scalability issues in Geographic Information Systems (GIS). I am interested in developing new methods and algorithms for representing, modeling, and analyzing massive terrain data in GIS. I am interested in algorithms that are not only of theoretical interest, but perform well in practice and scale to very large inputs, using techniques from I/O-efficient algorithms and cluster computing.

Sometimes there's no present like a good criminal defense attorney. Just ask St. Nick.
"Santa got pinched?" hot shot lawyer Eddie Hayes wondered incredulously in today's Daily News. "I thought you got jammed up for stealing things, not giving. This guy's giving it away!"
That's usually how things work. But not for one Brooklyn Santa who got slapped with a parking ticket while trying to deliver presents to children in Brooklyn this month. Luckily for this Santa, also known as Chip Cafiero, Hayes is being as nice as the parking enforcement agent was naughty.
The heartless agent tried to steal Cafiero's Christmas on Black Friday, when the 60-year-old retired schoolteacher was riding a horse-drawn carriage and handing out toys and candy canes. A sport utility vehicle carrying the toys and protecting the horse from traffic was double parked next to him.
Parents yelled out: "That's Santa's car. That's Santa's car," as the agent wrote the $115 summons.
With a client list that includes mobsters, molls, and crooked cops, Hayes is used to dealing with characters who are even more colorful than red-suited St. Nick.
"It's about time I had a client who's fully dressed," said Hayes.
And even though his main mode of transportation is a sleigh, when it comes to his pending court case, everybody is hoping that Santa walks.

Anyone know where I can get a replacement "E" key for my DX21? (for a reasonable price) As you can see, it was damaged at some point (before I got it) and fixed with Krazy Glue. It works fine but I really can't stand the look. I need another one.
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Ultimate Adventure 2013 - Day 6 - Drive Up The East CoastPosted in Ultimate Adventure on November 1, 2013
Photographers: 4 Wheel & Off-Road Staff
Our last road day was also our longest road day, over 600 miles. Shortly into the drive, our fearless leader and Editor-In-Chief, Rick Pewe led the group onto the silky smooth sand of Daytona Beach. We stayed just long enough to take a couple pictures and then it was back on the road, across a Ferry, and up the coast to South Carolina. Rigs were dropping like flies with problems, at one point nearly half the group was down making road-side repairs. After nearly 16 hours on the road the majority of the group made it to the hotel near Waterloo, NC. Although some did not make it to the hotel until 5:00 the next morning!
Check out a sneak peek photo gallery of Day 5 of Ultimate Adventure as we made our way from Florida to South Carolina!

I'd rather go back in the kitchen and wreak more macarons...

I'd rather go back in the kitchen and wreak more macarons...
17 comments:
Oh, I always love when the magazines put out their big fall issues. Fun. Makes me want to sketch the models--they always look great. I thought of you at Trader Joe's yesterday when I saw their macarons. They're "OK."..for Trader Joe's. (They're no Laduree, mind you, and they're certainly no M'lle Gillott's, either, for that matter.)ReplyDelete
Brush With Color:ReplyDelete
I haven't tried TJ's macs yet.
I'm saving myself for a taste test vs. NY Laduree...ahem
I thought Keene's re the shoes:)Because of you:)ReplyDelete
My artist friend has some..
Hmm..the striped sweater.. well if it was black and white..w/ leggings and flats maybe..beside the fire or on a boat:)
I'll stick to loving the look of macarons better too.
We don't even have a TJ:(
I would vote, Carol, but I don't think it would count, 'cause I'd only be doing so for the "Elle" of it.ReplyDelete
(Sounds like a joke George W. Bush
would make.)
EXCELLENT Bill!ReplyDelete
you made me laugh out loud!! :)
If French women are wearing this stuff this year I am staying home :(ReplyDelete
BEAR has it right.
OMG! I am losing it - our TWO Trader Joes have opened and I have shopped and shopped and totally forgot about the macs! I deserve to have to wear that cape with the platform shoes!!!ReplyDelete
Stick with PH for le rentree - at least he seems to have it right!
Hm, the macarons win hands down over most of these weird fashion items. Is Elle 'avin' a larf wif us?ReplyDelete
Amy, What a potential Dominatrix you are!ReplyDelete
Who knew???
- Anonymous3:37 PM
What a lot of trouble macarons are to make! Just the idea of getting each one to be the correct size puts me off. No wonder they cost! Australia is in the grip of the macaron craze too. French Fantasies in South Yarra, Melbourne make great ones; you can also buy good ones with your coffee in the National Gallery of Victoria in Melbourne.ReplyDelete
Those crazy yellow shoes are made for stomping along not for walking in. Gwendoline, Australia
I also can't wait for going to the Pierre Hermé store in NYC!I Paris, new colors "font leur rentrée", burgundy, purple,dark green. waiting for you!ReplyDelete

John Porter and Felix Masuku are on the run in the fourth episode of "Strike Back: Origins," debuting at 9 p.m. CST Nov. 11 on Cinemax.
As you can see in the exlcusive preview above, Colonel Tshuma (David Harewood) employs an elite tracker to pursue the pair after Porter (Richard Armitage) busted Masuku (Shaun Parkes) out of prison in last week's episode. Porter, assigned to kill Masuku, instead believes that he has information that could help Section 20 uncover a leak.
Section 20 agent Layla Thompson (Jodhi May) is stuck in Africa, trying to decide who she can trust—Porter or her boss, Hugh Collinson (Andrew Lincoln). Back in London at Section 20 headquarters, Collinson begins to doubt the mission when he discovers new information.
You may recognize Parkes from his roles as cameraman A.J. Poulain in ABC's "The River" and Harewood from his role of David Estes in "Homeland."
The episode was written by Jed Mercurio and Alan Whiting, and directed by Daniel Percival.
Check out photos for the episode in the SBO photo gallery in the Related Items to the left. There'a another preview clip below.
