SAN FRANCISCO — Studio 211, a leading San Francisco hair studio specializing in hair extensions, today announced the availability of a new hair extension application method for fine, thin or damaged hair. The recently opened studio now offers its clients a thermoplastic tube application method that further protects the hair and ultimately boosts the clients self esteem. The new state-of-the-art method is a thermoplastic bonding technique originally designed by NASA engineers for use on the space shuttle to hold wiring together. Studio 211 uses this technology to attach extension hair strands to the clients hair at the base of the scalp. This high-tech method bonds extremely tightly actually hugging the hair without the use of glues or adhesives. “Clients with fine, weak and/or damaged hair can improve and strengthen their hair with the use of extensions,” said Giacomo of Studio 211. “This particular new technique uses a thermoplastic tube that shrinks once applied to the clients hair giving it an extremely strong attachment capability without damaging the hair with any kind of adhesive.” Studio 211 specializes in working with problem hair. Hair extensions add volume, strength and even highlights and color without further compromising the health of the hair by using harsh chemicals and coloring. Not only can hair extensions add thickness, body and coverage to clients with problem hair but the additional hair also protects the hair, giving it added strength. A clients hair with extensions does not break as easily and isnt as brittle or flyaway. The new thermoplastic bonding technique uses minute cylinders that are visually undetectable and allows the studio to apply extensions without glues thus further protecting their clients hair.
Consumers today, more than ever, demand results from their hair care regimens. If you are looking to deliver superior functionality from your hair care products, look no further than Crodas extensive line of hair care actives. With ingredients providing protection, repair and maintenance, for healthy-looking hair from root to tip, Croda has the right hair care active for you.

A Growing Number of Utilities Are Working to Lower Energy Consumption in Vending Machines MALVERN, Pa. — USA Technologies (NASDAQ:USAT) announced today that nine more major American utility companies have joined its EnergyMiser Rebate Program this year to help lower energy consumption in the United States. Twenty nine energy utilities now offering rebates ranging from $15 to $180 per unit for USA Technologies EnergyMiser energy conservation products. In addition, USA Technologies reported that one more utility has signed on to participate in the EnergyMiser Turnkey Program, where more than 100 utilities have provided utility customers with EnergyMisers at no cost, including installation. “We believe the increase in utilities joining both programs, and consumer interest in installing EnergyMisers is largely in response to the fuel crisis in the US, which continues to drive up energy costs,” said Barbara Scott, Product Manager, USA Technologies. “Fuel prices are showing no sign of easing and already analysts are forecasting that the cost of heating this winter could rise by an average of 40 percent or more,” she said.

Ever wonder why were all so hung up on beauty–why its important to both men and women, no matter our race or place in the world, and why people across different cultures have similar ideals? “There are evolutionary roots to beauty,” explains psychologist Nancy Etcoff, a faculty member at Harvard Medical School and author of Survival of the Prettiest: The Science of Beauty. “Essentially, beauty is a biological advertisement of health.” In other words, people are attracted to visible signs of good health like clear skin, shiny hair and rosy cheeks because these were the clues our ancestors used to determine whether someone would make a good mate. These days, the natural signs of beauty are easily enhanced. The perfect-hued lipstick and blush, for example, impart a healthy glow, and the right moisturizers can keep your complexion soft. Improving on natures gifts is anything but vanity; Etcoff explains that beautifying yourself is simply another form of self-care. “More and more, people are viewing their health and their looks as being united. Its not simply putting on makeup or getting your hair done–its taking care of yourself and your body.” All the more reason to care for your skins specific needs, When you find a makeup look thats just right for your age, attitude and complexion, the beauty/health connection is confirmed. Here, three experts–makeup artists Sue Devitt, Bobbi Brown and Carol Shaw–offer advice on creating a look thats right for you. Though its impossible to hold back the clock forever, the common beauty goal for women in their late 20s: and early 30s is stalling time for another few years–and with the right makeup, enhancing the glow that already exists, explains Sue Devitt. THE BASICS Skin thats properly cared for is still in good condition now–and a sheer foundation (like the shimmering Shiseido

Catherine Matheson [*] NAVAJO FAMILIES WHO HAVE CHILDREN WITH DISABILITIES In the United States, many have come to believe that families and family involvement are the most important factors in supporting children with disabilities. Families exist within an ecocultural environment that is complex and powerful, and it is within the family context that development in all its forms begins and is nurtured. We cannot understand what family involvement means without understanding the culture of families and the informal systems that families use to adapt and operate. In this chapter, the example of Navajo families with children with disabilities underscores and shows in high relief the heavy reliance on cultural support for families that is part of any family system. As early-intervention and family support programs continue to grow in the United States, we need to understand and sustain those benefits of indigenous systems that provide support and relief to families even as we seek to engage families in the use of supports that may be offered by private and public agencies. Two complementary systems operate to fulfill the needs of Navajo and other American families who have children with disabilities: one is the indigenous adaptive system and the other is the public health system that has been established nationally in the United States with local options. One example is the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA 1997), parts B and C, providing early intervention, preschool, and school-age services. The indigenous system was in existence long before the IDEA, but has not been recognized as such. Both systems attempt to increase the well-being of families, but because all adaptive systems have a cost, neither system is totally benign. Each system extracts some payment for the benefits it provides. When discussing costs, our intent is not so much to point out financial costs, which are often involved, but to show that costs to families can be more subtle, such as the erosion of family responsibility and satisfaction with the efforts the family makes on behalf of the child with a disability. Thus, in the Navajo sample, families identified medical disabilities and sought help for medical problems from professionals but were sometimes unable to resolve their anxiety until they involved spiritual services or indigenous healing practices. Conversely, Navajo families did not identify learning disorders in the preschool age group that we interviewed. Learning and language disabilities were primarily identified by professionals and schools, who in turn sometimes found families apprehensive and reluctant to adopt an active role in early-intervention efforts that they had not sought themselves.

[ILLUSTRATION OMITTED] Following its $100 million acquisition by Tanfield Group Plc in June, Snorkel International has introduced a full line of aerial work platforms to its portfolio that Tanfield said will be the principal brand sold in North America going forward. The U.K.-based Tanfield also owns the UpRight brand of aerial lifts, which the new Snorkel additions are based on. The Snorkel series will encompass eight new machines made up of electric scissors, mast and articulated boom lifts, and rough terrain vertical lifts that are used in the construction and industrial maintenance markets. The eight models selected as Snorkels lineup were chosen, Tanfield said, based on the high demand for their size class. Prior to the acquisition, Snorkels portfolio comprised a full line of self-propelled booms, articulating booms, telescoping booms, aerial lifts and self-propelled scissor lifts. “The current Snorkel management team has done a superb job of developing Snorkel over the past few years,” said Darren Kell, CEO at Tanfleld. “Snorkel can now instantly expand into a full-line manufacturer for quality rough terrain scissors and big booms. Our research tells us that there is a pent-up demand within Snorkels customer base for this type of machine.” Within the new lineup are two diesel-powered models, introduced as the SR2684SL and SR3084SL rough terrain boom lifts. Sold in Europe as the SL26SL and SL30SL under the UpRight brand, the new SR2684SL and SR3084SL have a platform height of 26 and 30 ft., and are powered by 1.13 L three-cylinder Perkins 403C-11 diesel engines rated 19.5 hp at 3000 rpm.

ExpertSource: TOPIC: The role of account planners has gotten more complicated as new forms of communication continue to evolve, according to an article by Ad Age. Account planners, once sole decision makers, are more likely to work on a team involving other disciplines, such as media planners, connection planners, trans-media planners and channel planners. The account planner must now consider all forms of advertising and must be familiar with the various ways consumers spend their time. However, experts point out that account planners are still crucial in defining that key element that consumers will relate to in a product, whether the medium is television or a social networking site.

Lawyers Poker: 52 Lessons That Lawyers Can Learn from Card Players By Steven Lubet
Most debates about lawyers professional responsibilities ultimately devolve into discussions of the “role” of lawyers-including the functions lawyers serve in the legal system, how lawyers should achieve those functions, and how lawyers should reconcile conflicts between competing interests that are potentially affected by their conduct. The notion of a lawyers role can be helpful for identifying principles of behavior. Thus, for example, whether attorney-client confidentiality is appropriate and whether exceptions should be acknowledged depends on the conception of lawyers from which one starts. If lawyers are to be clients sole and fully-allied champions, then strict confidentiality rules make sense. If lawyers are to be objective intermediaries between clients and society and have independent obligations to the law, exceptions seem more acceptable. The task of code drafters is facilitated when they can proceed from the assumption that a single paradigm governs the lawyers role-either a paradigm encapsulating a theory of behavior (how lawyers ordinarily act) or a paradigm encapsulating a normative ideal (how lawyers should act). When code drafters rely upon multiple paradigms (for example, lawyers should act as clients alter egos and as officers of the court), inconsistent regulatory mandates can result, and lawyers may become confused about their functions. The ABAs 1908 Canons of Ethics, which prevailed in most American jurisdictions throughout the early twentieth century, suffered from an emphasis on inconsistent ideals.1 The bar was in a state of disagreement about lawyers roles and lawyers had no point of reference for determining how to act.2 Therefore, when the ABA adopted the first concrete professional code in 1969,3 it became important for the drafters to identify an over-arching theory. By emphasizing the lawyers place in the adversarial system, the 1969 code served a forceful unifying and educational function.4 Nevertheless, an ethics codes overemphasis on a single paradigm can lead to undesirable results. It tends to produce idealized rules that either rest on counter-factual assumptions or impose obligations on lawyers that are so inconsistent with their personal incentives that violations become routine. In modern times, an exclusive focus on the adversarial ethic seems less important than in 1969 because lawyers have developed a shared sense of core obligations to clients and of the part lawyers play in the legal system. The recent history of lawyer regulation reflects a desire on the part of the bar to fine-tune the basic message of the 1969 code-to recognize more nuances than, perhaps, a single image of lawyers can accommodate.5 The task of drafting professional rules is complicated by the fact that the public perception of the bar is not unitary. Society views lawyers in many different, and sometimes inconsistent, ways. These multiple conceptions influence code drafters. In practice, the modern legal ethics codes incorporate a number of “images” of lawyers as bases, or catalysts, for disciplinary rules. Relying on these images has consequences for how the codes treat lawyers and, as a theoretical matter, for how the rules should be drafted. Part I of this Article identifies some of the different images of lawyers that exist6 and the ramifications of emphasizing each image in the professional codes. Initially at least, this Article takes no position on the accuracy of the images in describing lawyer behavior-for example, whether lawyers act in a selfinterested manner or whether lawyers feel bound by unenforceable professional norms. As a practical matter, each of the images has solid footing in some respects. That is to say, each is based on a valid characterization of how lawyers act in some situations. Part I will suggest, however, that relying upon multiple paradigms inevitably fosters schizophrenia on the part of the code drafters.
