Did Conservative Media Get Anything Right About The IPCC Report?
Research ››› ››› MAX GREENBERG
In the weeks leading up to the release of the U.N. Intergovernmental Panel On Climate Change's (IPCC) fifth assessment report summarizing climate science on Monday, conservative media have spread a variety of myths about the process, credibility and findings of the group. Contrary to misinformation, the report reflects that scientists are more convinced than ever that manmade climate change is real and dangerous.
FACT: IPCC Reiterates That The World Is Warming
MYTH: The IPCC Now Says The World Is Cooling
- A Washington Times editorial claimed the IPCC's fifth assessment report "is said to admit that the planet has been cooling, not warming." [Washington Times, 9/5/13]
- In an editorial titled "United Nations' Panel Admits Global Cooling?," Investor's Business Daily asked "on what, we wonder, will the IPCC blame the coming cooling period." The editorial continued that The IPCC itself was "reportedly" predicting such a period. [Investor's Business Daily, 9/9/13]
- The Washington Examiner claimed that a leaked draft of the IPCC report "says that the world is not warming but actually cooling, and will continue to get colder until the middle of the century." [Washington Examiner, 9/9/13]
- On The Five, Greg Gutfeld cited the Daily Mail to claim that "A leaked report ... has led scientists to the fact that the country [sic] will be cooling until the middle of the century." He later added, "That's from the U.N. Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change." [Fox News, The Five, 9/10/13 via Nexis]
IPCC: Warming Is "Unequivocal." The IPCC's Summary for Policymakers (SPM), which was released on Friday in advance of the full report, reports that "Warming of the climate system is unequivocal":
Warming of the climate system is unequivocal, and since the 1950s, many of the observed changes are unprecedented over decades to millennia. The atmosphere and ocean have warmed, the amounts of snow and ice have diminished, sea level has risen, and the concentrations of greenhouse gases have increased.
Each of the last three decades has been successively warmer at the Earth's surface than any preceding decade since 1850.
The summary included this chart showing annual and decadal temperatures:
IPCC Projects Warming To Continue. The IPCC concluded that the world will continue to warm under all emissions scenarios as seen in this Wall Street Journal graphic -- even one in which carbon emissions are cut aggressively (Scenario 1).
The IPCC stated further that "Most aspects of climate change will persist for many centuries even if emissions of CO2 are stopped. This represents a substantial multi-century climate change commitment created by past, present and future emissions of CO2." [IPCC, 9/27/13] [Wall Street Journal, 9/27/13]
IPCC Now 95% Certain This Warming Is Being Caused By Man. The fifth assessment states that "Climate models have improved since the [2007 version]" and human influence is now thought "extremely likely" -- representing 95 percent certainty - to be the dominant cause of global warming since the mid-20th century. As reported by The Economist:
The report is more definitive than in the past about the role of people in causing climate change. It say that it is "extremely likely"--IPCC speak for having a probability of over 95%--that man is responsible. This contrasts with the tentative tone of the early IPCC reports. "The observed increase [in surface air temperatures] could be largely due to this natural variability," said the first one, in 1990. The next report in 1995 merely suggested a link between rising temperatures and human activity. That link was deemed "likely" (which means probability of 66%) in 2001, and "very likely" (90%) in 2007.
[IPCC, 9/27/13] [The Economist, 9/27/13]
FACT: The Report Summary Directly Addresses Short-Term Temperature Trends
MYTH: The IPCC Doesn't Mention The Temperature "Pause"/Speed Bump
- In a Washington Times op-ed, Paul Driessen claimed the IPCC "deleted all references to the 17-year temperature standstill." [Washington Times, 9/30/13]
- Washington Examiner columnist Ron Arnold said that after Marc Morano, who promotes climate misinformation at the website Climate Depot, told him a list of claims supposedly casting doubt on climate change including that "Global temperatures have failed to rise for 15-plus years," Arnold complained that "none of that was in the IPCC report." [Washington Examiner, 9/20/13]
- NewsBusters reported on "allegations" that "IPCC scientists are trying to avoid including the temperature hiatus in their report." [NewsBusters, 9/25/13]
- A FoxNews.com article published the day of the SPM release claimed the IPCC "could not explain" why temperatures over the prior 15 years have "stopped rising." [FoxNews.com, 9/27/13]
Natural Variability Tied To Short-Term Trends. On the third page of the Summary for Policymakers (SPM), the IPCC noted that the warming trend over the prior 15 years was about 0.05°C (0.09°F) per decade, but that this relatively minor warming does "not in general reflect long-term climate trends":
In addition to robust multi-decadal warming, global mean surface temperature exhibits substantial decadal and interannual variability (see Figure SPM.1). Due to natural variability, trends based on short records are very sensitive to the beginning and end dates and do not in general reflect long-term climate trends. As one example, the rate of warming over the past 15 years (1998-2012; 0.05 [-0.05 to +0.15] °C per decade), which begins with a strong El Niño, is smaller than the rate calculated since 1951 (1951-2012; 0.12 [0.08 to 0.14] °C per decade)
The observed reduction in surface warming trend over the period 1998-2012 as compared to the period 1951-2012, is due in roughly equal measure to a reduced trend in radiative forcing and a cooling contribution from internal variability, which includes a possible redistribution of heat within the ocean (medium confidence). The reduced trend in radiative forcing is primarily due to volcanic eruptions and the timing of the downward phase of the 11-year solar cycle.
The Natural Resources Defense Council's Dan Lashof explained at The Huffington Post:
Natural variability and short term factors, such as volcanoes, always have and always will cause year-to-year variations in the climate. That means that the shorter the time period you look at, the larger the uncertainty in determining any trend, and the more sensitive the result to the starting point. Again, the IPCC report makes this clear: "Due to natural variability, trends based on short records are very sensitive to the beginning and end dates and do not in general reflect long-term climate trends."
Specifically, the uncertainty bounds on the 15-year trend starting in 1998 (the period of the claimed slowdown) range from -0.05 degrees per decade to +0.15 degrees per decade, which encompasses the central estimate of the warming trend since 1950 of 0.12 degrees per decade. That's what statistically insignificant means. Moreover, if you look at a 15 year trend starting in 1995, rather than 1998, the trend estimate is +0.02 to +0.24 degrees per decade, which is FASTER than the overall trend since 1950
[IPCC, 9/27/13] [Huffington Post, 9/27/13]
Short-Term "Speed Bump" Does Not Contradict Long-Term Trend. In a blog post for the Union of Concerned Scientists, climate scientist Brenda Ekwurzel explained that short-term temperature trends of lesser warming are merely a "speed bump," chiefly caused by ocean heat absorption and other factors, and a precursor to long-term waming:
Even as a car slows down to go over a "speed bump," there is no question the car is still advancing down the road. Similarly, the global average surface temperature trend of late is like a "speed bump" and we would expect the rate of temperature increase to speed up again just as most drivers do after clearing the speed bump.
We keep getting questions about this air temperature trend that has more to do with where the excess heat is primarily going -- the ocean -- and the rate at which heat transfers to the deep ocean, as well as other factors that can temporarily offset the influence of heat-trapping gases. These include ocean cycles such as phases of the El Niño Southern Oscillation in the Pacific Ocean. Or tiny pollution particles as well as tiny particles emanating from volcanic eruptions that reflect sunlight.
More importantly, society tends to focus quite heavily on the surface temperature since that is where most of us live our daily lives. We know that is just one of the many ways we measure climate change. A look at the big picture shows a world that continues to face disruption from human-induced climate change.
Indeed, a chart published in the SPM showing comparisons of observed and simulated temperature anomalies still reflects long-term warming:
[Union of Concerned Scientists, 9/25/13] [IPCC, 9/27/13]
FACT: Actual Temperatures Consistent With IPCC Projections
MYTH: Recent Temperatures Show IPCC Models Useless
- Numerous conservative outlets seized on a Mail on Sunday article, titled "Global warming is just HALF what we said," that claimed a leaked IPCC draft said the temperature was rising at just half the rate predicted in the 2007 IPCC report. [The Mail on Sunday, 9/14/13] [Hot Air, 9/16/13] [Investor's Business Daily, 9/17/13]
- Washington Examiner columnist Ron Arnold claimed that the report would offer the "stunning concession" that "that computer-modeled forecasts of imminent planetary catastrophe were catastrophically wrong." [Washington Examiner, 9/20/13]
- The Washington Free Beacon reported that critics of the IPCC report say that "their skepticism is based on discrepancies between the UN's climate models and actual, observable conditions". [Free Beacon, 9/30/13]
- The National Review's Michael Barone said that the IPCC's models were a "failure" because, he claimed, "Global-warming models predicted [temperatures would increase over the last 15 years]." [National Review Online, 9/27/13]
Observed Warming Is Within The Range Of Previous IPCC Projections. According to the IPCC, even though past temperature projections were never intended to predict changes over short time spans, "the observations through 2012 generally fall within the projections made in all past assessments" (emphasis added):
Observed changes in global mean surface air temperature since 1950 (from three major databases, as anomalies relative to 1961-1990) are shown in Figure 1.4. As in the prior assessments, global climate models generally simulate global temperatures that compare well with observations over climate timescales (Section 9.4). Even though the projections from the models were never intended to be predictions over such a short time scale, the observations through 2012 generally fall within the projections made in all past assessments. The 1990-2012 data have been shown to be consistent with the FAR projections (IPCC, 1990), and not consistent with zero trend from 1990, even in the presence of substantial natural variability (Frame and Stone, 2013). The scenarios were designed to span a broad range of plausible futures, but are not aimed at predicting the most likely outcome.
The bars on the side for FAR, SAR and TAR represent the range of results for the scenarios at the end of the time period and are not error bars. By contrast to the previous reports the AR4 gave an assessment of the individual scenarios with a mean estimate (cross-bar; ensemble mean of the CMIP3 simulations) and a likely range (full bar; -40% to +60% of the mean estimate) (Meehl et al., 2007). In summary, the trend in globally-averaged surface temperatures falls within the range of the previous IPCC projections. During the last decade the trend in the observations is smaller than the mean of the projections of AR4 (see Section 9.4.1, Box 9.2 for a detailed assessment of the hiatus in global mean surface warming in the last 15 years).
Warming Over Last 50 Years Almost Exactly As Estimated. The 2007 IPCC report actually said was that the rate of warming since 1951 was estimated to be about 0.13°C (0.23°F) per decade in the past 50 years. The new report said observations almost exactly bear that estimate out -- we have been warming at 0.12°C (0.22°F) per decade since 1951. The Mail on Sunday misreported a line from a different section of the study. [Carbon Brief, 9/16/13]
FACT: Fossil-Fuel Backed Group's Anti-IPCC Report Is Not Scientifically Rigorous.
MYTH: The NIPCC "Counters" The IPCC Report
- Fox News reporter Doug McKelway cited a report from the "Non-governmental International Panel on Climate Change" (NIPCC), published by the Heartland Institute, conflating it with the IPCC's forthcoming findings and concluding that "evidence of global warming is coming under increased scrutiny and increased doubt." [Fox News, Happening Now, 9/18/13 via Media Matters]
- A Washington Times op-ed lamented that "Until recently, countering the International Panel on Climate Change reports with the views of climate scientists who do not support the scare has been exceptionally difficult," but that the problem has been "solved" by reports from the NIPCC. It went on to quote a NIPCC contributor who compared his group favorably to the IPCC, saying "the authors and contributors to the NIPCC publications represent independent and often senior scientists who are beholden to no one, and have no political agenda to pursue. NIPCC presents the science as it is, not as it can be spun." [Washington Times, 9/16/13]
- In a column praising the NIPCC at the expense of the IPCC, Paul Driessen characterized the latter "versus" the former as "facts versus gloom-and-doom assertions." [Townhall.com, 9/19/13]
- The Washington Free Beacon suggested that the NIPCC comes from a "[p]urely scientific perspective" without noting any critiques of its process. [Free Beacon, 9/27/13]
IPCC Reports Authored By Hundreds Of Volunteer Scientists, Exhaustively Reviewed. Mother Jones explained:
More than 800 climate scientists serve as authors and review editors in the three working groups. They come from 85 countries, with 301 of them from developing countries. These scientists call on hundreds more scientists for assistance. Together, they diligently mull reams of peer-reviewed climate science.
The results of this collaboration are draft reports that are debated, revised, and refined. For a sense of the exhaustiveness of the reviews, consider this: Working Group I has held 12 meetings in countries all over the world since 2010. It received 21,400 comments from 659 experts on its first draft, and then 31,422 more comments from 800 scientists and 26 governments on its second draft. [Mother Jones, 9/26/13]
NIPCC Authored By A Few "Skeptics," Does Not Undergo Rigorous Review. Climate Science Watch noted that the NIPCC "does not follow the same rigorous scientific evaluation process as the IPCC," echoing what two climate scientists told Media Matters. Kevin Trenberth of the National Center for Atmospheric Research stated that the NIPCC is "not open for review at any point":
The NIPCC has no standing whatsoever. It is not a reviewed document, it is not open for review at any point and it contains demonstrable garbage and falsehoods. In contrast the IPCC process is rigorous, open and there are 2 major reviews. This is irresponsible journalism.
Princeton University professor Michael Oppenheimer added that citing the IPCC and NIPCC in the "same breath" can be misleading:
Media who cite both IPCC and NIPCC in the same breath (or in close proximity) are clearly either uninformed or attempting to confuse the public, unless of course, they are attempting to clear up any confusion about the two organizations by making clear that NIPCC does not represent the expert consensus on climate change. If NIPCC is ever cited, it should be within the latter context.
[Climate Science Watch, 9/9/13] [Media Matters, 9/18/13]
NIPCC Backed By Fossil-Fuel-Supported Heartland Institute. The NIPCC is published by the Heartland Institute and is funded by it and two other advocacy groups. Heartland has received backing from some corporations with a financial interest in confusing the public on climate science, and received over a quarter of its budget between 2002 and 2011 from Donors Trust, a group that bankrolls climate denial campaigns and has been called "the dark money ATM of the conservative movement." Heartland's president has acknowledged that "the main motivation, frankly, for the Heartland Institute being involved in this [climate change] debate" is to prevent the U.S. government from adopting policies that favor renewable energy, which he claims would cause an "economic disaster for the country." This involvement has taken the form of a billboard campaign associating "belief" in global warming with the Unabomber, among other things. [Media Matters, 9/18/13] [Media Matters, 11/28/12] [Media Matters, 2/28/13] [Media Matters, 7/7/11] [Media Matters, 5/4/12]
FACT: Many Experts See IPCC As Conservative In Its Approach
MYTH: The IPCC Is "Alarmist"
- A Washington Times op-ed claimed the IPCC "has become one of the world's strongest advocates of climate alarmism." [Washington Times, 9/16/13]
- The Heartland Institute's James Taylor wrote in Forbes that the IPCC's "goal" is "to scare people into implementing the energy restrictions and wealth redistribution prescribed as a cure for the mythical global warming crisis." [Forbes, 9/26/13]
- In a later column, James Taylor compared a report backed by the Heartland Institute favorably to that of the IPCC, under the headline "Objective Science Unmasks Global Warming Alarmists As The True Science 'Deniers.'" [Forbes, 9/20/13]
- A Washington Times op-ed claimed that IPCC authors "devised ways to cover up the 'bad' news" about the alleged end of global warming in order to produce a "scary report." [Washington Times, 9/30/13]
NY Times: IPCC Has "Ben[t] Over Backward To Be Scientifically Conservative." The New York Times observed that, as evidenced by two examples involving sea level rise and climate sensitivity measures, the IPCC has sometimes shown to be "bending over backward to be scientifically conservative":
Climate change skeptics often disparage these periodic reports from the United Nations, claiming that the panel writing them routinely stretches the boundaries of scientific evidence to make the problem look as dire as possible. So it is interesting to see that in these two important cases, the panel seems to be bending over backward to be scientifically conservative. [The New York Times, 9/10/13]
Scientists: IPCC Authors Made Cautious Choices. Scientists not involved in the IPCC process told The New York Times that the report's authors "made a series of cautious choices in their assessment of the scientific evidence":
Climate scientists not involved in writing the new report said that the authors had made a series of cautious choices in their assessment of the scientific evidence.
Regarding sea level rise, for instance, they gave the first firm estimates ever contained in an intergovernmental panel report, declaring that if emissions continue at a rapid pace, the rise by the end of the 21st century could be as much as three feet. They threw out a string of published papers suggesting a worst-case rise closer to five feet.
Similarly, the authors went out of their way to include a recent batch of papers suggesting the earth might be somewhat less sensitive to carbon dioxide emissions than previously thought, even though serious questions have been raised about the validity of those estimates.
The new report lowered the bottom end of the range of potential warming that could be expected to occur over the long term if the carbon dioxide level in the atmosphere were to double, reversing a decision the panel made in the last report and restoring a scientific consensus that had prevailed from 1979 to 2007. Six years ago, that range was reported as 3.6 to 8.1 degrees Fahrenheit; the new range is 2.7 to 8.1 degrees. [The New York Times, 9/28/13]
IPCC Reviewer: Message "More Conservative" Than In Last Report. A chief scientist at the Netherlands Environmental Assessment Agency who reviewed the latest IPCC report told the BBC that the fifth assessment would be more "cautious" than the fourth:
There is a feeling among many scientists involved with the process that this report will be more complicated and cautious than in 2007.
"Overall, the message is, in that sense more conservative I expect, for this IPCC report compared to previous ones," said Prof Petersen. "The language has become more complicated to understand, but it is more precise. [BBC News, 9/23/13]
Research Suggests IPCC May Be "Opposite" Of Alarmist. Skeptical Science noted that research has shown that the IPCC is actually more likely to underestimate effects of climate change:
[T]he evidence suggests that changes in climate are occurring faster, and with more intensity, than the IPCC have predicted. It is not credible to suggest the reports were biased in favour of the theory of anthropogenic global warming when the evidence demonstrates the IPCC were, in fact, so cautious.
In fact, there is evidence however to suggest that the exact opposite is actually the case, both in terms of the scientific evidence itself (see below) and the way the work of the IPCC is reported. A recent study (Freudenburg 2010) investigated what it calls 'the Asymmetry of Scientific Challenge', the phenomenon in which reports on science fail to evaluate all outcomes, favoring certain probabilities while ignoring others. They found that "...new scientific findings were more than twenty times as likely to support the ASC perspective [that disruption through AGW may be far worse than the IPCC has suggested] than the usual framing of the issue in the U.S. mass media".
Claims that the IPCC is alarmist are not supported by evidence, and there are clear indications that the opposite may be the case. [Skeptical Science, 8/1/13]
LiveScience: IPCC's Consensus-Seeking Can Lead To Underestimating Climate Impacts. LiveScience pointed out that the consensus-seeking nature of the IPCC makes it more likely to underestimate climate change impacts:
Since the IPCC's conclusions require consensus among the panel members, the organization's reports tend to feature fairly conservative estimates, with a tendency to underestimate rather than overestimate the potential impacts of climate change. [LiveScience, 9/18/13]
FACT: The IPCC Process Is Inclusive
MYTH: IPCC Authors & Reviewers Are Biased And Shut Out "Skeptics"
- A Wall Street Journal op-ed by a photographer and blogger Donna Laframboise in advance of the 2013 IPCC report attacked past editions for featuring authors and reviewers with alleged conflicts of interest because they had written reports or were employed by environmental groups. [Wall Street Journal, 9/25/13]
- In a column for Forbes hyping the newest NIPCC report, the Heartland Institute's James Taylor wrote that "the United Nations IPCC piles on laughably biased authors and truly sad incompetence," citing the work of Laframboise. [Forbes, 9/20/13]
- A Washington Times op-ed lamented that "eco-activists" among other IPCC authors were "editing the science to reflect the politics." [Washington Times, 9/30/13]
Scientist: "Climate 'Sceptics' Can And Do Participate, Some As Authors." Climate scientist Kevin Trenberth explained that "Climate 'sceptics' can and do participate" in the IPCC process:
"Two major reviews are carried out in producing the report. The first is by experts and the second includes governments. Climate "sceptics" can and do participate, some as authors. All comments are responded to in writing and result in many changes in the report. The process is overseen by two or more review editors for each chapter."
Climate Science Watch explained further that "The IPCC seeks input from as broad a range of scientists as possible, including those with industry ties":
The IPCC seeks input from as broad a range of scientists as possible, including those with industry ties. Notable climate skeptics like Roger Pielke Jr. and Richard Lindzen have contributed to past reports, and Richard Tol and Hans von Storch, two prominent skeptics, participated in the current review. In addition, the IPCC has included experts from some of the largest companies in the fossil fuel industry, like ExxonMobil, Chevron, Shell, and BP.
[The Conversation, 9/28/13] [Climate Science Watch, 9/25/13]
IPCC Has Incorporated Conflict Of Interest Policy. One of the new IPCC guidelines taken on after a 2010 review of the panel's structure and process was a conflict of interest policy covering "all individuals directly involved in the preparation of IPCC reports," including authors and review editors.

Summer Flowering Lily Bulbs
Buy Lily bulbs (Lilium) online from Bulbs & beyond!
Lilies are one of the most versatile and exotic looking summer-flowering bulbs. The botanic name for the Lily is Lilium, which is a member of the Liliaceae family. Most lily species are native to temperate (including subtropical) regions of the northern hemisphere. Lilium is a "true lily" as opposed to many other plants that have "lily" in their common name but are not true lilies.
Along with Dahlias and Gladioli, Lilies are one of the most popular summer bulbs from Holland. Lilies look equally stunning in the garden, as pot plants, or as cut flowers in a large vase. Lilies look especially nice when planted in clusters of larger numbers.
When buying Lily bulbs online at Bulbs & beyond, you can choose from a large selection of Lily bulbs of the Asiatic Lily and Oriental Lily varieties. We offer some of the most popular Lily bulbs such as the lovely "Lily Red Alert" and yellow "Lily Dazzle", as well as the classic soft white "Lily Ercolano". However, we also offer some more exclusive varieties. Please take some time to browse our Asiatic Lily bulbs and Oriental Lily bulbs on offer.
Planting Lily Bulbs
Once you have bought your Lily bulbs online, please ensure that you open the box upon receipt so that the bulbs can "breathe". Lily bulbs should be planted in April or May at a depth of around 15cm and around 20cm apart in well drained soil. Lilies like to be watered during the growing season. Please be mindful not to plant your Lily bulbs in an overly windy spot as they are quite tall (80-120cm) and prefer a spot slightly more protected against the elements (for example near a fence or row of shrubs). Lilies love sunlight but also tolerate part shade so are very easy and forgiving, even for the novice gardener.
Tip: Please be aware that asiatic lilies and oriental lilies are toxic to cats.

the best for you
the best in you
What does it say who tried ...
"I love the taste and texture of each juice! They are perfect not only to start the day full of energy, but also in situations where I need an extra energy boost late in the afternoon and there is still a lot of work to do.
"In order to increase my stamina and strength to run marathons, I have looked for the best way to eat protein in a natural and tasty way. INIUs PRE-WORKOUT juice gives me a good amount of natural protein and this reflects in my running."
"I am a sports fan. I train every day, so I know how important it is to help the body restore its levels after doing physical exercise, in order to be balanced as well as to help cells absorb all the good energy they need."
"I have an intense professional life, 3 daughters and I love playing sports! It is not always easy to reconcile everything ... With INIUs ENERGIZING juice, I finally have more energy to embrace my daily challenges every morning." Joana Gouveia
"A must have! I have finally found the solution to my lack of patience in preparing a good breakfast. Now, in just a few seconds, I have the most complete breakfast ever! INIU is here to make our lives easy. Before and after working out... An extensive juice line everyone should try and see for themselves! "
"These juices - have tasted them all - are wonderful, especially to start the day. Since I started taking INIUs juice at breakfast, I now have the first meal of the day low in calories but very healthy and energy-giving. Any of the juices, despite all those ingredients often not having a very nice taste, are a fantastic combination that results in a great flavor. I am personally a big fan of the ANTI-CELLULITE juice. But the best thing of all is that you just need to take it from the freezer 15 minutes before, add water and put it in the blender: there is nothing quicker, easier and more practical. Congratulations to the team!"
"I thought the juices were an excellent substitute for a mid-morning or mid-afternoon snack. They are healthy, tasty and make you feel satiated quickly."

Senior Stephanie Houtman
NORTH DARTMOUTH, MA-The University of Massachusetts Dartmouth's women's basketball team lost a nail-biter to visiting Southern Maine, 75-71, in the first game of a Little East Conference doubleheader at the Tripp Athletic Center Saturday.
The victory was a milestone for the Huskies as it marked the 600th career win for USM head coach Gary Fifield in his 24 seasons with the team.
The Corsairs, playing without starting forward Colleen Moriarty (Canton, MA/Canton HS) due to injury, led 39-38 at intermission paced by 16 points from junior guard Erica Batchelder (Stoughton, MA/Stoughton HS/Salem State), including four three-pointers. UMass Dartmouth continued to lead through much of the beginning of the second half, building a 53-47 advantage with 12:12 remaining off a three-pointer by senior guard Stephanie Houtman (New Bedford, MA/New Bedford HS/Bridgewater State). But, the Huskies would mount a charge, going on a 13-1 run in the next four minutes to erase the deficit and build an eight-point lead at 62-54 capped off by a three-pointer by sophomore guard Erin McNamara (West Newbury, MA/Pentucket Regional).
Houtman, who was honored prior to the game on Senior Day, rallied the Corsairs, connecting on back to back threes, cutting the Huskies' lead to 65-63 with 5:16 to go. The Corsairs would find themselves down just a single point after sophomore forward Erika Bornemann (Canton, MA/Canton HS) connected on a layup at 70-69. The UMD defense answered the bell on the Huskies ensuing possession and the Corsairs had a chance to take the lead on the next possession. Batchelder would miss from outside but followed her shot and was fouled by USM senior forward Courtney Cochran (Waite, ME/Woodland), who was whistled for a flagrant elbow, giving Batchelder two free throws and UMD the ball. Batchelder would make both attempts, giving UMD the lead, 71-70, but it would be the last points scored by the Corsairs. They turned it over on their next possession, leading to a layup by USM junior guard Jordan Grant (Concord, NH/Concord HS) with 49 seconds to play. Corsair freshman forward Kelsey Garrity was called for an offensive foul on the ensuing possession and then committed a defensive foul, sending McNamara to the line, where she made both shots. Grant would account for the final score, making one of two from the stripe with just four seconds remaining.
"This was a Herculean effort by our team as it really was a David vs Goliath situation," said UMass Dartmouth Head Coach Amanda Van Voorhis. "I think we made a statement that we can play against anyone in the conference. They beat us up inside and obviously it hurt not having Colleen. We are excited about what we've accomplished this year and even more excited about what is to come."
The Corsairs were led by Houtman, who capped Senior Day off with a game-high 22 points. Batchelder had 21 points and Bornemann recorded a double-double with 10 points and a game-high 19 rebounds. The Huskies had three players in double-digits. Junior forward Haley Jordan (Falmouth, ME/Falmouth) had a team-high 20 points, Cochran had a double-double with 19 points and 10 boards and senior guard Nicole Garland (Portland, ME/Deering) chipped in with 12 points.
The Corsairs dropped to 15-10 and 6-8 in the Little East Conference with the defeat, while the Huskies improved to 20-5 and 11-3 in LEC play with the victory.

On the Street….The Sales Exec., NYC

I'm liking these "what to wear for work in the summer" series. Dress plus jacket – good outfit for summer in the corporate world. Not sure those shoes would cut it in my workplace though – but maybe there's another pair in that biggish bag….
Wrong footwear over and over again. Although this one seems the golden HermĂŠs!! These days people went crazy about the "wrong footwear choice". Is it the only thing they can think of?
I disagree, that´s the perpect one, in a sea of women in high heels, it seems to me that this girl has a lot of personality
Love her sandals!
Great jacket and shoes!
she looks happy! that's the bst part. i love the jacket, the scarf, her hair… the gold of her shoes is fantastic with the navy and pink. my only criticism is that the strappiness of the sandals seems just too open and summery considering how warm the top part of her outfit looks.
She looks comfortable.
I love it.
i have the same houndstooth jacket! i'm so excited. thanks for giving me ideas on how to dress it up, Sart. :)
somehow the scarf with sandals doesn't work here.
I LOVE this.
wow. amazing. where can i get those shoes?!?!
that jacket? ahhh she is me if I had money to buy clothes all the time.
nice sandals
The sandals are by the Jessica Simpson collection available at any department store.. believe it!! I've passed by them many a time, maybe now that they've been featured here I have to get them!
Aw, she's cute.
I like that she looks like she could dash off to her next meeting or run and catch a taxi–real life fashion.
have you thrown us a wide ball? i love the girls happy face and great smile (she reminds me of Reese Witherspoon) but apart from that nothing she's wearing even remotely goes! I'm at a loss! One your comments maybe entirely appropriate right now?
typical upper east side girl. not impressed.
this is one sexy biatch
i live everything!! does anyone know who makes the sandals?
scarves! i'm obsessed with scarves. i am particularily fond of how she is wearing her scarf.
the shoes are actually from nordstrom. THANK YOU VERY MUCH homey
Wow, the shoes are from Nordstrom?! So she knows how to be stylish AND not have to drop a ton of cash? Now THAT's skill!
I love scarves too, but I think that despite the lovely spring color of this one, it's too much of a winter weight to wear with this outfit. Maybe mousseline would have been better?
this is the first scarf for several post, I thought maybe we had done with it. I thought the blanket around the neck had displaced it. So is this a retro scarf?
This is obviously a beautiful example of Midwestern charm combined with Manhattan chic. The casual yet classy shoes, the Frenchish scarf, the YSL bag – but most of all the small, the natural hair, the "I love life and I'm okay with me" energy – Wow!
I love those swingy jackets…I made one in plaid late last year. Provide a little warmth and little cool at the same time, and that classic, elegant cut is perfect for showing off your favorite checks, plaids, and houndstooths! ("houndsteeth? xD) ^^
I have those Jessica Simpson sandals from Nordstrom and I never know what to wear with them…the navy skirt looks good!
I love the whole colour combination! Ok disagreeing with a lot of people here, but I love the scarf and sandles too!
This offbeat fashion ratatouille is much more interesting than typical New York black matchiness.
typical ivy league type look. boring.
wow a mix combination of summer and winter wear….fabulous!!
Talk about every trend over the last six months… the black and white jacket, the gladiator sandals, the scarf, the aviator-ish sunglasses… she's a Sienna Miller wannabe.
Love the outfit with sandals included…. would it work within my profession? Within a degree. I would carry an extra pair of shoes in the car or boots to make it all work. But, this outfit is on the mark.
Everything she's wearing attest to her being comfortable. I don't like this particular pair of sandals but it's always great to see a woman wearing shoes that are comfortable and practical.
oh hay carrie bradshaw…
Wow, if this is her 'corporate look', I'd like to see what she wears for a night on the town!
Looks like what an Aussie would wear in New York. Kinda cute!
Must be pretty relax to be a sales exec in NYC then :) Anyway, nothing really new here but this is cute, love the jacket! :)
In my formerly corporate life, I wore flats to and from the office and had a large file drawer full of heels at my desk. My work heels were more formal than what I'd wear to go out, so I didn't miss having access to them over the weekend. It also saved me from carrying shoes around, and wearing flats for walking 20 mins to the subway spared my poor bunions.
I don't really love her sandals with her outfit, but they sure beat track shoes as foot-friendly walking shoes for schlepping across town.
None of the styles go.
The bottom works together, but topping it with that jacket reads as lazy to me. The cut of the jacket requires a little more effort.
I like the feeling of spring in her look: combining warmer scarf and jacket with light sandals and short skirt. It looks comfortable and cosy, but also with a twist of careless girliness.
where is that jacket from ?!
Interesting combo, was this taken on a weekday or casual Friday?
Very nice look! I'm in love with the sandals!
The sandals are a surprise – I love them with the scarf ! My idea is sandals till it snows!
I'm sure I'm way in the minority in thinking this outfit would have so much more style if the skirt were an inch or two longer. As it stands, she looks…teenaged. To me.
I've seen this look all too often before… she looks like she stepped out of my university. Everyone looks like this, there. It's flattering, but soooo generrrrrrrrrricccccc.
New York to London…spring to summer…casual to business. This is all about transition. From the scarf and jacket to the skirt, and to the purse and to the business case, and from the hounds-tooth jacket to the navy skirt. This seems to be all being able to leave the office and not feeling tied down to the clothes she wears inside the office. Though, the sandals did pop off when I first glanced at the picture. Also the hair works casual or business.
Great shoes. Not with the proper outfit though.
I love her outfit, but not for work. I am astounded that everyone thinks this is appropriate for work as a sales exec. I'm in sales, and NONE of the execs at our company in NYC or Chicago ever dress this casual to work. Bare legs, mini? We'd get fired so fast there would be no time to say "I'll go home and change." It's not uptight or outdated to avoid showing too much skin at work. How about some nice flats and tights with this instead?
fine individual pieces but together, does not make a sartorial outfit. gold sandals & pink pashmina scarfy thing makes the look, ordinary…i've probably seen this type of "look" on a dozen window displays on broadway. where is the creativity? must be my least favorite of all postings.
Why is everyone wearing a scarf this summer? Hiding something? Sore throat protection? How does that match with the sandals?
Only joking, love the mix of colors.
she's pretty – love the skirt – but needs more feminine shades….
The shoes are perfect for those of us who work in a creative environment. I love them and will be on the hunt for some this weekend.
Adorable. Where, pray tell, is the jacket from? It could easily be an H&M piece. Or not.
I love the summer scarf. But then again, I live North of the 49th, so I can technically claim to wear a scarf year round ;) Welcome to the 12-month scarf club!
A total stunner. I think she looks absolutely smashing.
And that's coming from a very, very incredibly straight man from NYC.
The only exchange I would make would be me for her notebook. With those sandals, I would let her walk all over me. Meow.
A short tight skirt that doesn't make her look trashy. I like this a lot, there is a lot of balance in this outfit.
So very 'lady'! I love it and wish I saw more of it on the street — very Lauren Conrad-goes-to-NYC.
luv the sandals. first thing i noticed. everything about them are right. right gold tone, nice criss cross around the ankle.
also nice proportion of the wide jacket with tight dress.
a little more things going on than i'd normally prefer, but overall looks good on her.
I love all the things but not sure together. Something is wrong here…maybe the color of the bag, wich is too formal (black) for those pretty sandals…
love this outfit, gorgeous, gorgeous, gorgeous! the scarf, and sandals, look fab!
She looks beautiful but I'm not digging these flat gladiator sandals on anyone. Plus, they're just not comfortable and that's the whole reason for a flat (except if you're very tall of course). The only thing I like about them is the color, it really helps the outfit.
cute combinations :)
love , love , love. The sandals are amazing and the combination is just perfect !
Loving the shoes …. I have just bought a pair of gold sandles in the summer just past – they look fab with nice tanned legs !
De verdad no tienen ni pizca de conciencia de lo que dj x marina fm significa en realidad.

NEW YORK (Reuters Health) - The United States could prevent up to half a million deaths over the next decade if Americans cut their salt intake to within national guidelines, according to a new study.
That finding - which comes the week New York City announced success toward its goals of cutting salt levels by one-quarter by 2014 - is based on computer simulations using data from various studies on the effects of extra sodium on blood pressure and heart risks.
The Institute of Medicine recommends most healthy people get 1,500 milligrams (mg) of sodium per day, with an upper limit of 2,300 mg. But the average American eats more like 3,600 mg each day, largely through processed food.
"Reducing sodium intake is important for everyone, not just a small subset of people who are salt sensitive," said Pamela Coxson, the study's lead author from the University of California, San Francisco.
Although the health effects of a salt cutback may be small for the average person, she said, the results show they add up when projected across millions of Americans.
Still, one blood pressure researcher not involved in the new study said the models don't reflect the full picture of health consequences tied to too little or too much salt.
Coxson and her colleagues ran three salt-reduction scenarios through models that predicted how a lower-sodium diet would impact a person's risk of having high blood pressure or dying of cardiovascular disease.
The most realistic scenario was a gradual decline in Americans' average sodium intake over ten years to about 2,200 mg per day. That goal would be "optimistic but potentially achievable," the researchers wrote in the journal Hypertension.
Based on their calculations - and taking into account uncertainties about sodium's direct effect on the heart - Coxson and her colleagues calculated 280,000 to 500,000 fewer Americans would die over the next decade as a result of that reduction.
A more dramatic and immediate decline to 1,500 mg of salt per day across the U.S. population could prevent up to 1.2 million deaths, largely from heart disease or stroke, the researchers calculated. But that isn't very realistic, policy-wise.
"The gradual reduction is something that many countries around the world are working on in various ways," Coxson told Reuters Health.
For example, she said, some countries have worked with bakers to cut back on sodium in bread, and others have focused on meat and canned goods.
"The big majority of our intake of sodium is coming from those types of processed foods," Coxson said.
"The individual at home with their salt shaker only controls maybe 20 to 25 percent of their intake."
Dr. Michael Alderman from the Albert Einstein College of Medicine in Bronx, New York, said the researchers' calculations are missing data on how too little sodium can also raise heart risks, through its effect on blood fats and insulin.
"They begin with the hypothesis that lowering sodium intake, because it will lower blood pressure - and nobody debates that - will inevitably translate into a reduction in cardiovascular events," he told Reuters Health.
But in reality, he said, "The net effect of these conflicting consequences of reducing sodium will be the health effect."
Alderman said there's no evidence eating less than 2,000 mg of sodium per day is beneficial for the average person. "Like every other essential nutrient that I know of, too little is not good for you, and too much is not good for you," he said.
For people who do want to cut back on their sodium, Coxson said diet changes are possible despite the influence of the country's salty, processed food environment.
"The best thing would be if we could all shift our consumption a little more toward fresh fruits and vegetables, and away from processed foods," she said.

Rockdale Co. alum Kevin Ware recovering after surgery | News
Title (Max 100 Characters)
UPDATE: -- Louisville guard Kevin Ware is recovering following successful surgery on his broken right leg.
School officials say the sophomore had the bone reset and a rod inserted into his right tibia. The surgery took two hours. Ware is expected to stay in Indianapolis until at least Tuesday.
INDIANAPOLIS -- School officials say that Louisville guard Kevin Ware has been taken to a local hospital after sustaining a broken lower right leg during the first half of Sunday's Midwest Regional final against Duke.
The injury occurred with 6:33 left in the first half as Duke's Tyler Thornton made a 3-pointer. Ware tried to contest the shot and his leg buckled when he landed, bending almost at a right angle.
Louisville spokesman Kenny Klein said hospital officials told the school that Ware was "resting comfortably" and that the pain is "under control."
Klein also said that a team of doctors is being assembled to treat Ware but was uncertain whether that meant Ware would undergo surgery in Indianapolis at Methodist Hospital.

Musharraf faces 4th death-penalty case as Pakistan names him in Bhutto's murder
Pakistani investigators Tuesday named former military dictator Pervez Musharraf as the prime suspect in the December 2007 assassination of ex-prime minister Benazir Bhutto, raising the tally of capital charges leveled against the once all-powerful army chief over the last week to four.
The Federal Investigation Agency, Pakistan's national police force, named Musharraf in a document seeking his indictment by the court hearing the Bhutto case in Rawalpindi, a city adjacent to Islamabad that houses the army headquarters.
Musharraf ruled Pakistan from 1999 to 2008 after leading an October 1999 coup d'etat against Nawaz Sharif, who was then in his second term as prime minister and is now back in the office after his party won May elections.
The Federal Investigation Agency gave little indication of what evidence would be submitted against Musharraf, but it did say it included sworn statements from two Bhutto associates, Briton Victoria Schofield and American Mark Siegel. Both have previously said Bhutto had told them that if she were assassinated when she returned to Pakistan after a decade in exile, Musharraf should be held responsible.
Bhutto and Schofield attended Oxford University in England together in the 1970s and were close friends. Siegel was her longtime Washington lobbyist.
The FIA move came a day after Sharif announced to Parliament that his administration would prosecute Musharraf for high treason for twice abrogating Pakistan's democratic constitution – first, when he led the 1999 coup and then, in November 2007, when he declared a state of emergency to facilitate the sacking of the rebellious Supreme Court chief justice, Iftikhar Mohammed Chaudhry.
The two counts of high treason both carry the death penalty if he is convicted.
The court has given the attorney general's office until Thursday to specify its planned method of prosecution, but the constitution specifies that treason charges must be heard by a specially formed tribunal of three Supreme Court judges.
Musharraf was also formally arrested last week for the 2006 killing of Akbar Bugti, a former chief minister of western Baluchistan province who rebelled against Musharraf's rule in 2004, starting a low-intensity but brutal insurgency that continues to rage. Again, if convicted on the charge, Musharraf would face the death penalty.
He also has been charged with the illegal confinement of the judges he sacked in November 2007 under anti-terrorism charges that, upon conviction, would carry jail terms calculated in seven-year multiples with chain-gang-style hard labor.
Such legal accountability against a former military dictator is unprecedented in Pakistan's 65-year history, during which it has been ruled by four military juntas for half that time. Even in previous democratic administrations, the military and its Inter Services Intelligence directorate have exerted more power than the politicians and twisted public opinion against them through propaganda campaigns in a weak and intimidated news media.
Probably acting on unofficial advice from the government and the military, no Pakistani news organization has even mentioned the possibility of a former army chief being executed for treason, despite the media being relatively free from censorship.
The current army chief, Gen. Ashfaq Parvez Kayani – who is Musharraf's protege and successor – in a rare public speech in April, before the May general election won by Sharif's Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz party, had complained about the former dictator's arrest and prosecution by a caretaker government.
However, political analysts reputed as being privy to the military's political thinking wrote Tuesday that Sharif had discussed the matter with Kayani before announcing the decision to prosecute Musharraf. They believe that Kayani, while unhappy, had swallowed the decision because of reassurances that it would not publicly be styled as a trial of the military as an institution.
Musharraf is widely hated by the Pakistani public and has found few, if any, people to speak up in his defense.
The exception is Musharraf's attorney, Ahmed Raza Kasuri, a small-time politician. His sole claim to fame in Pakistan is that he accused Bhutto's father, Zulfikar Ali Bhutto, who was prime minister from 1973 to 1977, of ordering the killing of Kasuri's father.
Zulfikar Ali Bhutto was convicted of murder and hanged in 1979 after a trial that Western jurists dismissed as a farce staged by Gen. Zia ul Haq, who'd overthrown him in what was the third of Pakistan's four military coups.
Kasuri previously had warned that any trial would force him to name others involved in imposing the November 2007 emergency – a long list of politicians, civil servants and military commanders, including the incumbent army chief. His tactic has been dismissed as an attempt to blackmail the military into intervening on Musharraf's half.
In a 2009 ruling, Chaudhry, the reinstated chief justice, ruled that Musharraf was solely responsible for the October 1999 coup, effectively giving other soldiers involved amnesty from prosecution. Most commentators believe the same amnesty would be applied in a treason trial of Musharraf.
Analysts in Islamabad said Sharif had many reasons for taking on the military immediately after assuming the office of prime minister for a third time. He stepped down in his first term in 1993 under intense military pressure, and was overthrown in 1999, jailed and exiled by Musharraf during his second.
Sharif has said repeatedly that he carries no vendetta against Musharraf or anybody else.
The analysts said Sharif had chosen to act because he intends to rule by the letter of the constitution. The imminent retirement of Kayani in December, and competition among generals to be his successor as army chief, have created a one-time political window for Sharif to hold Musharraf accountable for his actions.
"Sharif and his advisers debated and weighed the matter, and decided that they must act," said Rauf Klasra, the Islamabad-based editor of Dunya, a popular Urdu daily newspaper.
Sharif would face a difficult decision in the event Musharraf were to be convicted and sentenced to death by the courts. The constitution provides for a pardon by the president, a job held until September by Asif Ali Zardari, head of the opposition Pakistan Peoples Party. He or his successor, who would be nominated by Sharif's party, would act on Sharif's advice as prime minister. In turn, Sharif probably would seek Parliament's opinion which, if true to Pakistan's political formbook, would be inclined toward reducing the death sentence to life imprisonment or exile – as Musharraf had done to Sharif in 2000.

Houston-area home sales were up again in January, but by the smallest one-month increase since the summer of 2011, a new report shows.
Buyers closed on 3,957 single-family homes last month, up 1.7 percent over a year earlier and the lowest one-month sales volume since February 2012, the Houston Association of Realtors reported Tuesday.
For most of last year, home sales were in pre-recession territory, reaching a monthly high of 7,700 last spring.
The supply of homes for sale was flat in January compared to December at 2.6 months of inventory, meaning it would take that long to sell all the homes on the market based on recent activity. An inventory of six months is considered a balanced market.
"January is traditionally a slow time of year for home sales, but throw a depleted supply of inventory into the mix and you get exactly what the Houston market experienced last month," HAR chairwoman Chaille Ralph said in a statement. "Until more housing inventory hits the market, we are likely to continue seeing lower sales volume and higher pricing than we did throughout 2013. It's the basic economic principle of supply and demand playing out."
The median price of a single-family home — the figure at which half the homes sold for more and half for less — jumped 18 percent to $177,000.
The increase was due largely to strong sales in the $200,000 to $600,000 range, according to the housing data, which are based on sales through the Multiple Listing Service, which includes properties primarily throughout Harris, Fort Bend and Montgomery counties.
Here are January sales broken out by price segment:
- $1 – $79,999: decreased 46.3 percent
- $80,000 – $149,999: decreased 7.9 percent
- $150,000 – $249,999: increased 9.7 percent
- $250,000 – $499,999: increased 41.6 percent
- $500,000 – $1 million and above: increased 45.3 percent
Additional market data was released Tuesday:
- Month-end pending sales totaled 3,730, a 3.9 percent gain over last year and another possible indication of a steady but lower volume of sales when the February numbers are tallied. Active listings, or the number of available properties, at the end of January fell 15.9 percent to 28,211.
- January sales of townhouses and condominiums spiked 35.8 percent from a year earlier, with 432 units trading hands. The median price fell 2.3 percent to $131,570, while inventory dropped to a 2.5 months supply versus a 4 months supply in January 2013.
- Single-family home rentals were up 23.6 percent compared to a year earlier, while townhouse/condominium rentals were up 13.3 percent. The average rent for a single-family home increased 4.3 percent to $1,616, while the average rent for a townhouse/condominium rose 8.3 percent to $1,508.

I'd like to learn about modular forms. My background is mostly computational algebra and group theory, and I've had little-to-no training in complex analysis. I've briefly seen modular forms in a short literature review I did on Monstrous Moonshine. I've been scouting out various books, and most have a reasonably strong analytic focus.
While I'm happy to learn enough analysis to get into modular forms via the standard recommended textbooks, I was wondering:
Is there a good reference for learning modular forms that had a particularly algebraic or computational bent?

Superfood Powders
Hi Everyone! You're not going to believe this! Straight from our Maca fields, which are located at 13,000 foot elevation in a National Reserve in Peru, we've started to separate out all of the Maca colors and we've created some new revolutionary products that have never been seen before, especially at this high grade of quality! We are now offering Black Maca, Black Gelatinized Maca, and Red Gelatinized Maca. Of course we still have our Regular (yellow-colored) Maca, Gelatinized Maca, and Red Maca Powder, as we've always had.
Raw Maca vs. (Cooked) Gelatinized Maca!
Which is better?!
In a previous newsletter, I mentioned that I was going to reveal some of the things going on in the Superfoods industry that I'm not too happy about...
Ingredients: 100% Pure Organic Premium Peruvian Cream Maca

Help! Has anyone swapped out their Jabsco head?
3 years ago I replaced it with an identical but new unit and installed it with the same issues as the original one.
Our seems to perform horribly and need new joker valves every six months. I want to replace it with something a bit nicer and more reliable (and less needy).
Any suggestions? Brands?
We are looking to keep it manual (mechanical) and utilize the same system for waste that we currently have. Everything but the head and pump works great.

Our favorite beauty products of the year continues with our favorites in skincare, nails and haircare. Are some of our picks the same as yours? Keep reading…
Without a doubt Elizabeth Arden Prevage Moisturizer has been Carla's favorite moisturizer of the year, she can't sing its praises enough. It's definitely pricey but the texture makes it last forever and it tames her skin like nothing else… she is hooked.
This year we got to know Talika Lash Conditioning Cleanser and our lashes were grateful for the introduction. This product not only removes mascara better than most makeup removers but also conditions lashes at the same time.
Sampar Skin Quenching Mist is as good as it gets if you're obsessed with refreshing your skin with mists like we are. Not only does it have a devine rose scent to it but you can spray on as much as you'd like, no greasy residue left on your skin with this.
Suki Lemongrass Cleanser is another goodie from 2008 that we brought with us into 2009. You can use it as an extremely effective exfoliator or let it foam up for gentler way to clean your skin. Plus the lemongrass will definitely perk you up.
Garnier's Nutri-Pure Detoxifying Wet Cleansing Towelettes are our top pick for cleansing wipes. These refreshing oil-free wipes have a clean fruity scent and do not dry out your skin if you're having a "lazy" day and is the only thing you use to wash your face at night. Not that we do that or anything…
Thank you MAC for Style Black and the MAC Volcanic Ash Thermal Mask. It makes our skin so soft after just one use and there is something incredibly therapeutic about slathering sooty black ash all over your skin and rinsing it off with a hint of heat. Love!
Four months under our belt of using NARS Cleansing Oil and it's still rocking our world. And the best part is the bottle isn't even a quarter of the way empty!
Duri Rejuvacoat has saved my nails this year. This base coat not only helps strengthen nails (boy does it ever!) but has actually improved how my some of my nails grew. Some of the odd bends I have in my nails actually straightened out a bit.
Since I'm all about nail care this year (hello fellow ex-nail bitters!), It Cosmetics Nail Love has been in my handbag at all times. Why hasn't anyone though of this before? This nail pen includes oil to condition nails but also has a rubber slanted tip to help push your cuticles back. Convenient, no?
For color, the Barielle All Lacquered Up collection has been my favorite from this year. My friend Michelle from All Lacquered Up helped create a collection of shades that I am absolutely in love with and I turn to them over and over again… I'm talking to you Glammed Out Garnet and Get Mauving.
It all starts with the nail polish remover and Zoya Remove + Nail Polish Remover is my favorite nail polish remover of all time. The delivery method is fantastic, formula is not toxic, conditions the nails and I'm all for a product that helps calm me and steady my hands before applying nail polish. The lavender scent does just that.
We were really excited when we started seeing forest greens step on to the Fall trend scene, which is why we fell hard for OPI's Here Today, Aragon Tomorrow from the Espana collection. So deep and sultry, even if it did take nearly three coats to get it just right.
When my hair needs refreshing, Ojon Revitalizing Mist takes care of my hair with just a few spritzes. This product is also a leave in conditioner. If I don't have time for my usual routine, this detangles and leaves hair soft. I hope Sephora brings this back as a Beauty Insider deluxe sample, the small bottles are perfect for travel and I lost mine.
Frederic Fekkai's Advanced Full Blown Volume Shampoo shampoo gets us excited, ala old school Herbal Essence commercials-style. The smell is refreshing with a hint of lime and gives LIFE to fine hair. The effect is really noticeable when blow drying with a big round brush.
If we could bathe in MoroccanOil products, we totally would… it conditions hair like nothing we have ever used. It is safe to say that MoroccanOil Treatment has completely rocked our world. It conditions, protects against heat, adds shine and tames flyaways. What more could we ask for?
Klorane Gentle Dry Shampoo isn't exactly new but it is new to us this year. This product has saved my life in the morning (when I'm running late!) countless times this year and it is the only dry shampoo I keep re-purchasing. Why is that? It is gentle and does not irritate my scalp like other dry shampoos do.
So what about you? What are your favorite skincare, nails and hair products new to you this year?

How to convert CD-i image files
>> Sunday, May 31, 2009
This article contains information about what we know about CD-I pictures formats and what we've done in trying to decode them. Requirements : You will need a Hexadecimal editor to extract a track of bytes. You will need to install the shareware ISOBuster to extract the files (or another working tool). Well the problem is : how do I convert CD-i pictures ? The easiest solution would be to get the picture you want to decode and then using the convert tools found at icdia.co.uk. Unfortunately, that doesn't work because the pictures are wrapped into huge files and - what kills any chance - all "headers" of the image data are missing. Till we find a better way, here are the steps needed to see some of the pictures. NOTICE : We've only decoded two formats : CLUT8 and RLE7 at 384px width. There are many other formats used by CD-i.
CD-i's CLUT 8: The CLUT8 (Color Look Up Table, 8bits/pixels) is an uncompressed image format. At the begin of a CLUT8 file there is a header (describing dimensions of the image but seems to be not in the CD-i files). Then, there is the palette with the color codes. The first color (e.g. 10 10 FF) is the color 0, the second is the color 1, etc... The palette ends with the characters "IDAT". The next 4 bytes are the remaining length of the file. Next part, each byte describe one pixel with a code reffering to the color read before in the palette. If the header is not present, you have to guess the width. The width of these images usually is 384 pixels.
The CD-i RLE7 is similar to CLUT8 but it's a compressed format. However its size is generally smaller, its palette may not contains more than 128 colors (against 256 for CLUT 8). RLE is one of the simplest compression methods. Here are the rules: If the first bit of the byte is false, the next 7 bits are the color code (reffering to the palette) to be drawn 1 time. Else, the next 7 bits are the color code (refering to the palette) to be drawn x times. x actually is the following byte. In the second case, if the following byte is 0 then draw the color to the end of the image's width. For example, we have an image 2x4 pixels with two colors. if the pixel part is the next 5 hexa bytes : 0x80 0x00 0x01 0x00 0x81 0x00, the output will be :
0 0 0 0
1 0 1 1
Extract the CD-i files: CD-i disks can be read by ISOBuster and you can use it to extract the files from the disk. It can took more minutes if the disk is scratched. Extract the Track into a ISO file and then open it with ISOBuster. You should see all the CD-i files. It's recommended to extract them normally.
Find recognizable image data: We're close. You may want to use the program we made to search image automatically. However, We've tested it with only one CD-i (hotel mario) so it might not be able to find all the images. If you use the little tool below, it would be more tedious but you might get more results. Open suspected files that may contains such data - their name usually end with .rtf - with a hex editor. Look for the string "IDAT" or this list of bytes : "0x49444154". If the search found matches, you probably have found image data. If not, try another file. Extract the bytes in two files - needed step for the tool. Look at the bytes before "IDAT". That should be the image palette. Extract these bytes in a separate file named image.palette.
IDAT is followed by 4 bytes indicating the number of bytes describing the pixel part (useful to know the end of the file). After these 4 bytes, the pixel part begins. Extract the pixel part in a new file, for instance "image.data". The end of this part just ends before a lot of zeros.
Now you have two files : a palette file and a data file, both without the 8 IDAT xxxx bytes. Now you must determine the format. RLE and CLUT images use both a palette, but the pixel part of the CLUT is uncompressed. You will notice it by looking at the bytes : each next byte is a number close to the previous one, and the file is big ? It should be a CLUT file. Other if it looks more like the example it may be RLE.
Decode into ... HTML ! It's up to you about the way you want to decode the image (see the About formats section if want some tips). Open the suited tool (RLE drawer, Clut Drawer) and tell the program where is the palette and the data of the image. Choose a name for the HTML output file (e.g. image.html). Beep ! You can now open the toasted HTML file.
Fixing the colors: Some colors may not appear correctly. Make sure that the palette file contains x bytes, x must be divisible by 3(each color is 3 bytes, RGB). Try to add 1 or 2 "00" bytes at the begin of the palette file and try to decode again. CD-i Image drawer: An image extractor that tries to look for image data and CD-i RTF files. Extracts in BMP. Functions :
Extr selected : Extracts the selected image.
View : view the selected image.
Edit : edit the location of the image in the RTF file.
QuickFix : If the image is not at the center, it will try to adjust it.
Multiframe : Extracts a set of images, after the selected one. Useful when you want to extract the video frames.
Analyse : find all the images recognized in the RTF file.
Extract : extract each element of the list.
Issues : many. Crops the top of some images, or the bottom (+- 6*384 pixels).
Tools: CLUT8 Drawer (Little tool that converts a CLUT 8 image splitted into a palette file and a data file into a heavy HTML file) and RLE7 Drawer (Little tool that converts a RLE 7 image splitted into a palette file and a data file into a heavy HTML file.)

Hospital 555
Hospital 555 was the contested birthplace of the first Deadly SpaceMan. The inhumane events that took place here led directly to the current period where the BrikVerse is consumed with war, destruction, mayhem, and Awesome. The hospital was staffed by limbless ProtoFig Mediks who captured unsuspecting citizens and performed horrible genetic experiments on them.
Eventually these insane operations came to fruition, and the Minifig was born. The gene-splicing madness successfully gave this new fig arms, hands, and legs. Consumed with rage and bloodlust after having been submitted to experiments more gruesome than previously thought possible, the first minifig who survived broke free from his restraints, killed the ProtoFigs who gave him his new body, and he escaped into the world; a deadly killer genetically engineered for destruction. This first minifig was the Deadly SpaceMan.
This is also how babies are made.

Team USA overcame a two-goal deficit with an incredible rally in the second half of its match-up with Slovenia and appeared to seal the deal -- until the referee controversially nixed the Americans' game-winning goal.
At least U.S. fans can take heart from England's scoreless tie with Algeria later Friday, which keeps Team USA's chances of advancing in the competition well alive.
Two first-half goals from Slovenia had dealt a massive blow to the USA's bright start to the 2010 World Cup.
Valter Birsa hit a spectacular long-shot that beat U.S. goalkeeper Tim Howard in the 13th minute at Ellis Park in Johannesburg which was followed up with a cool finish from Zlatan Ljubijanic who beat an offside trap by an unorganized American defense just before halftime.
Team USA went into halftime in a deep hole and with elmination from the tournament looming. But the second half brought on a dramatic change in form.
Three minutes into the second half, the U.S. came roaring back and star midfielder Landon Donovan sent a scorching shot from a difficult angle into Slovenia's goal, giving fans hope of at least a tie. The tie finally came from a strike from midfielder Michael Bradley -- coach Bob Bradley's son -- in the 81st minute.
Moments later an apparent U.S. goal was negated by a controversial foul call that replays did not support -- and referee Koman Coulibaly, of Mali, did not explain according to Yank players.
"I'm a little gutted to be honest," Donovan said, according to Fanhouse. "I don't know how they stole that last goal from us. I'm not sure what the call was. He (the referee) wouldn't tell us what the call was."
The coaches were similarly mystified by the call.
"We still don't know why the goal was disallowed…Noone knows. It is important to understand that the players put a lot of emotion into the game and now they want a fair outcome," coach Bradley said, Reuters reported.
The result will have an important impact on Team USA's chances of advancing in the tournament: A win would have put the USA in prime position to make it to the knock-out round while a loss would likely have sent them home early. A tie means the U.S. still has something to play for when they face Algeria.
The high scoring game matched the pace of second round games of the group phase where teams have scored early and often.
Both teams came into the match riding a wave of momentum and confidence after the US achieved an unlikely draw against England and Slovenia won against Algeria -- putting the Eastern European nation in pole position in Group C with three points.
Team USA was favored to win against Slovenia which boasts a tough defensive line which allowed just four goals in the qualifiers for the World Cup. USA, the biggest nation in the tournament is ranked 14th in the latest FIFA rankings, while Slovenia, the smallest nation is ranked 25th.
The USA vs. England game last Saturday drew record viewership numbers.
Wednesday's matchup with Algeria is make or break for Team USA. The Americans can assure their spot in the second round with an outright win; a tie and England's loss to Solvenia; or a tie and an English tie as long as the U.S. leads in the number of goals scored in the first round.
