The first thing that is slightly alarming about SkinMedica's TNS Essential Serum ($250, 1 oz) is that the primary ingredient has 'human' as an adjective -- human fibroblast conditioned media (HFCM) to be precise. Human fibroblasts are cells that make up part of the skin's connective tissue, including collagen, and when skin is damaged, the body stimulates their production as part of the process of repair. The logic behind topical application of human fibroblasts, according to SkinMedica, is to trigger this same process of repair in the skin through external signals.
SkinMedica is apparently one of the first companies to start manufacturing human fibroblasts for cosmetic purposes, although this product and process has been used for several years for treating burn victims. This is a potentially exciting development for the field of anti-aging treatments; except for the fact that a lot of people have been upset by rumors that human fibroblast cells might be derived from actual human sources, like embryos and foreskins and all number of other nefarious methods.
The first thing I did after receiving a full-size sample of SkinMedica's TNS Essential Serum to try out was to check the veracity of these rumors. And lo and behold, it all seems to be true. Human fibroblast cells have been obtained from human foreskins for research purposes at least, and these are also commercially available in the U.S. So let's just say that my first thought before actually trying SkinMedica's TNS Essential Serum was that this stuff had better be damn good for me to be potentially slathering my face with male genital cells.
Having said that, it's getting to the point with my skin now that I am really willing to try just about anything. I have noticeable lines on my forehead and deep creases in the nasolabial folds even though I am only 37. My problem is clearly related to collagen breakdown: typical signs include fine lines, wrinkles, sagging skin, etc., all of which I have. I have noticed good results in the past using Retinol-based products. But, as I learned from Truth in Aging, the problem with this approach in the long term is that I may simply be hurtling myself toward even faster cell death (i.e., the Hayflick limit) while doing nothing to actually rebuild damage.
SkinMedica's product works on a different principle, in that it is designed to stimulate the skin's own repair process via a powerful three-pronged approach. First is rebuilding of the skin's extracellular matrix with ingredients like HFCM, palmitoyl tripeptide-5, and silk peptides -- all of which are designed to stimulate the rebuilding of collagen.
SkinMedica TNS also fights free-radicals with antioxidants, including Co-enzyme Q10, Vitamin C, Green Tea extract, Blackberry, etc. (I am happy to say that SkinMedica TNS does not, however, contain spermine because things would just be way too weird if it did). And finally, for instant cosmetic effect, SkinMedica TNS also contains a few 'specialty ingredients' such as aminobutyric acid, which purportedly acts as a neuromuscular inhibitor, relaxing facial muscles; and hyaluronic acid, which acts as a kind of molecular sponge, resulting in a smoothing effect. In other words, short of making you a cup of tea in the morning, this product has just about everything you need for the ultimate beauty sleep.
And after about seven nights of use, I really began to notice a major difference in my skin. The lines on my face have been plumped and smoothed, and the overall texture is more refined and clear. I was recently Facebook tagged in a random-night-out candid photo. This would normally be horrifying event for me, but instead I look positively radiant (and that isn't even a exaggeration). But the verging-on-Benjamin-Button-type drama is reserved for my neck and décolleté.
Here I have noticed quite miraculous effects. I am a side-sleeper, which usually means that I wake up in the morning with a neck resembling a crumpled piece of paper. However, I have been waking up of late ready for my close-up, as it were. I have also noticed a marked improvement in the tone of my skin: age spots have faded and general redness and discoloration have been reduced. In fact, SkinMedica TNS Essential Serum is so effective that I am beginning to think that it might join YBF Correct as one of those products I simply cannot live without.
Having said all that, I do have a couple of minor criticisms about this SkinMedica TNS. The first is the scent. To me it is ghastly. I don't know how to describe it, except that it conjures up really cheap creams full of badly blended chemicals (all I can think is "human fibroblast, human fibroblast"). If you are a big fan of the all-natural product, you might have a hard time getting used to this (and so might your bed partner; I get to add this to my 'Hurray! I am single' list).
Another thing is the color. Again, it looks horribly artificial. The pump simultaneously dispenses two potions that you are instructed to mix on the back of the hand: one is a bright orange serum, the other is a peachy opaque lotion. I am quite confounded by the choice of coloring because it makes the product seem tacky and cheap. And cheap it ain't. At $250, SkinMedica TNS Essential Serum is a pretty pricey product, and that right there might be another reason to be put off.
However, If you aren't ready to move on to dermal fillers, which purportedly also help to stimulate collagen regrowth (and I only had to take one look at Mickey Rourke at the Oscars to remind myself not to go there), and if your budget doesn't stretch to a course of lasers, then SkinMedica TNS might be for you.
And if you're still upset by the whole foreskin issue, I should point out that it is entirely possible to produce human fibroblasts from animal sources. Moreover, regardless of the source, it seems that only an initial crop of cells is obtained and these cells are then cultivated (cloned) in a nutrient solution (i.e., a conditioned media), rendering the final product entirely artificial. This means that any Orwellian nightmares of rooms full of men donating their foreskins to the anti-aging cause are completely unfounded. SkinMedicaTNS Essential Serum probably isn't going to be making the purists happy any time soon, but at least you will not be committing any crimes against humanity if you decide to splurge.

SkinMedica's list of unauthorized reseller's DOES NOT list SkinCareRx.com nor Dermstore.com. I have called SkinMedica directly & provided the Lot# from the bottles for expiration date information and the product was given thumbs up! The expiration date was in excess of a year & a half. If anyone knows of a problem with authenticity issues with the above mentioned sites, please post for all of us to consider. Yes, I would stay away from any sites mentioned on SkinMedica's Consumer Warning list.
I used to work at a dermatologist office where we sold TNS and I can say the stuff is AMAZING and worth the price. One bottle should last you about six weeks, as one pump of the serum should be applied thinly to the skin twice a day. It's best to apply the srum and let it sit on the skin for a few minutes before applying something else...I would usually go make the coffee or brush my teeth while it sunk in.
When using a follow up product (moisturizers, eye creams, etc.), be sure there isn't any kind of glycolic acid or retinol that can eat away at your very expensive serum you just aplied! I had a great retinol cream I wanted to continue using, so I used that at night and the serum in the morning.
Also, while the Essential Serum is great with the extra chamber full of peptides, vitamin C, etc....I was really incredibly happy just using the Recovery Complex
, which is significantly less than the other. I just felt that for an extra $100 it should do more but after trying out the more expensive Essential Serum for six weeks, I didn't feel it did anything better for my skin than the TNS Recovery Complex.
One beauty tip the SkinMedica rep gave me is to apply the serum to the back of your hand...if you have any left over, use the back of your hands to rub the remaining serum onto the skin since hands and thin skin give away age more than anything. There also used to be a TNS body spray, but I don't know if they sell it anymore.
And always buy from a dermatologist...you generally don't have to be a patient just to purchase the products. That stuff on the Internet is usually fake.
ONLY BUY FROM DOCTOR"S OFFICE OR SKIN MEDICA. There is a list on there website of unauthorized resellers. http://www.skinmedica.com/authenticity
I have been using Skin Medica TNS 4-5 years, if not longer. I have done La Mer and all the other fancy department store creams...It is hands down the best, and yes I get Botox. I take excellent care of my skin. My skin is flawless. I am a neurotic and vain 42 year old woman and absolutely have no worries about paying $250 for a quality product...but I would really hate paying $106 to Amazon or Ebay for a fake product that I am putting on MY FACE. So if you are considering this product...IT IS FANTASTIC, but expensive and you must buy from a reputable source.
And the bottle only lasts 4 weeks. Do not be fooled by other reviews. Worth every penny.
Don't be squeamish about the contents...have you ever eaten a hot dog?
beware of buying this on Amazon, when I did it was NOT the real stuff! so technically I lost a lot of money....I've used both the retail legit and the Amazon/Ebay way and I can assure you if you try to save money, you won't see the results everyone speaks of (including myself). I've been using it for over a year now and it's far and away the best anti aging product I've bought.
Also, it's true what someone above said about the recovery complex...it's much cheaper if you want the results for less money. I would recommend this method over the Amazon way. My only con with this product is it doesn't spread over my face evenly but I found a little trick. Keep your fingers a bit moist from the shower or damped your face slightly, then add the recovery complex and it should be easier to apply.
For all of you who just strated trying this TNS serum. What if anything were you using before you started the TNS?
Please wait...

For decades, increased automation has led to greater productivity, displacing some classes of jobs, but creating whole new industries.
Innovations like robots in factories, ATM machines and self checkouts in stores have all met with some grumbling, but have also lowered prices while providing more convenience.
Generally,the chattering classes have taken it in stride. After all, when poorly educated workers' jobs are being replaced, they can be trained to do higher level work. The attitude has basically been, "when computers can replace human thinking and intuition, then we'll worry about it."
Well, according to Race Against The Machines, a new book by MIT's Erik Brynjolfsson and Andrew McAfee, it's time to worry.
The game show Jeopardy! is one of the most successful in the history of TV. It has run for over four decades and won numerous accolades including a record 30 daytime Emmy awards. The game itself is a unique blend of knowledge and intuition. The contestants are given answers and have to guess the questions. For example:
"Hard times," indeed! A giant quake struck New Madrid, Mo., on Feb. 7, 1812, the day this author struck England.
To get to the correct question, "Who is Charles Dickens?," you would have to understand that "Hard Times" is a hint (in this case, the title of a novel), not a reference to the earthquake that hit Missouri and also know that Charles Dickens wrote in the 19th century and was likely to be born in England in 1812.
It's not the kind of thing you would assume that computers could do well. Getting it right involves a complex process of elimination as much as it does knowledge and calculation. Nevertheless, in February 2011, IBM's Watson not only played competently, but it positively wiped the floor with two of Jeopardy's most accomplished champions.
One of the competitors, Ken Jennings, who holds the longest winning streak and is the biggest money winner in the show's history, wrote as his final answer, "I, for one, welcome our new computer overlords."
If computers can win at Jeopardy!, they can do a whole lot more.
The discovery process in a big lawsuit can involve hundreds of thousands of documents. To go through it all, an army of highly paid lawyers usually sit in a room for days, chugging coffee and reading every scrap, looking for the rare stray thread that can break a case. The bill often runs into millions of dollars. However, as a recent New York Times article explains, that's changing fast.
New e-Discovery firms such as Blackstone, Clearwell and Autonomy can do the same work at a fraction of the time and cost, with much greater accuracy. More than mere keyword searches, the algorithms can understand concepts and identify anomalies such as changes in tone and mode of communication.
The upshot is that one lawyer can do the work of hundreds. What's more, the computers never get tired or bleary eyed, never have personal problems that might affect their work and never ask for a raise. In fact, if history is any guide, we can expect their price to plummet.
There is probably no activity more uniquely human than the creation of culture and information. We are, in fact, the only animals on earth who are capable of it. The ability to understand concepts in art, music and other humanistic domains has always been something that separates us.
However, now computers are invading the creative domain as well, with as much speed and force as machines conquered the domain of physical work a century ago. As outrageous as that may sound, you've already enjoyed their handiwork without even knowing it.
Music labels use Music X-Ray software to judge the potential of new hits, while movie studios deploy a similar service, called Epagogix, to evaluate screenplays before sinking serious money into a project.
You've also probably read sports updates and financial profiles from Narrative Science, a company that turns raw data into very humanlike articles and might have even picked up one of the 200,000 books written by an algorithm Phillip Parker designed. They're available on Amazon.com, which can recommend books that the clerk at your local bookstore has never heard of.
Admittedly, most of the computer generated content is very basic, albeit competently done. However, David Cope, a music scholar and composer has built algorithms that make music of such high quality and emotion that even critics can't tell the difference. As the power of our technology continues to improve at an exponential pace, we can expect the lines to blur further.
Clearly, IBM didn't go to the time and trouble to build Watson just to show up Alex Trebek on a game show. The ability to sift through millions documents and make actionable conclusions is something that has a variety of applications. The newest frontier is medicine.
IBM is now sending Watson to medical school and major healthcare companies like WellPoint plan to begin deploying the technology to suggest diagnoses and treatment to doctors. As electronic health records become standard and other data intensive technologies such as genomics mature, we can expect computers to take a larger role.
After all, we can't expect human doctors to instantly read every new journal article, keep track of every potential drug interaction and spot obscure anomalies among thousands of patients, but supercomputers like Watson can. If the trend follows what's happening in legal research, we may see medical automation transform the impending doctor shortage into a doctor surplus.
The Simulation Economy
So how can computer outperform accomplished humans in highly intuitive tasks that normally require years of training and experience? A lot of it has to do with simulation. A computer can try countless permutations in a matter of seconds and then choose the best course.

I've adressed the problems with sentient machines in my book,
"The Phantom of the Internet," by A.Miller
Basically it's a pending political crisis.
The problem is not the machines. Like Mr. Satell says, we have no problems with machines *helping* us with our work. The problem is the confusion, where it exists, of not knowing the boundaries, dividing lines, and/or differences between us and the machines. By "us" I mean: we humans are *not* machines as such, despite the incessant preaching and proselytizing by the pharisees that we are. We *created* the machines, and are and will always be, therefore, vastly superior to them.
The problem is our own erroneous *attitude* that we have or will inevitably be beaten by them. Any player on a sports team with such an attitude would be quickly be sent to the bench.
The correct and useful attitude to have and to maintain is to simply use them to get more work done.
How is a book published in 2011 considered "new?"
A little US fact checking is in order. New Madrid is in Missouri, not Montana.
Thanks for bringing more attention to this critical development.
Creative-destructive aspects of technology will continue to accelerate. Inventor and futurist Ray Kurzweil often points out that we typically think linearly when considering the future impacts of technology – while technology advances exponentially.
I suspect we will go through a phase where technology enhances our creativity, but the brain wiring that is behind creativity will eventually be surpassed by much faster and unlimited digital "wiring". (We are limited due to brain mass – not so for the digital world). How this will play out is hard to say, but it seems likely to me that many more jobs will be taken over then created. Global economic and personal financial implications abound.
(For more see a report I authored on this at http://retirementsingularity.digitalentrance.com/the-end-of-retirement-as-we-know-it )
You singularity people (Kurzweil, included) remind me of the old fable of the blind men and the elephant, each man examining only one part of the animal, and each in turn concluding (erroneously) the nature of the beast.
Even your "impressive" exponential projections of technology advance are only that: projections. NO future is inevitable. Projections based on data, and exponential or not, and are therefore based on the PAST.
There no life in the past. Life is only in the present. Man as a live spiritual being is NOT an animal, NOT his body, NOT his brain, NOT even a mind. The spirit is none of these. It CREATES these.
It can also change its intention instantly as well as be unaffected by any of its creations if it so chooses.
If the machines somehow get out of hand, they can be modified and/or destroyed.
Computers will outperform us in anything that is routine, but it can't make sense of "Pride and Prejudice."
Our strength is making sense of unstructured things, not doing things well that are structured.
Our brain is geared for making art, not function like a robot. That part can be done by robots now and better than us.
I have been watching this unfold since reading Kurzweil in 2005. 50% fear, 50% can't wait.
Old school economist say "it always works out. Don't worry."
Futurist like Martin Ford say, "we will have to pay people not to work just to have demand" in has book Lights in the Tunnel.
Peter Diamandis and Steven Kotler say we will have so much, it will be wonderful, in their book Abundance. We will have all the food and medical we need.
I am glad to hear that the same accelerating technology will simulate whole economies and start to figure this out. Of course.
Life span will increase, automation will increase, national debt will increase, number of retires will increase, food will increase, the money supply will increase. ideas will increase. People now working fast food will design stuff we all want cause robots took their jobs.
Finding something for humans to do is not really the problem. Jobs per se are not the problem. There will always be something for us to do. The problem is that as machines improve and displace human workers our efforts will be devalued. Our wages will drop. Our economy will still generate exponentially growing amounts of wealth, but the wealth will be passed to us not as wages, but as income on investments. Those who own the best stuff will get rich, those who try to sell their body into the work force will become poor.
In the past, where most things of value were generated by human labor, we could maintain a fairly reasonable balance of wealth equality. All someone had to do, in order to get a fair share of the wealth of our economy, was study and learn a valuable skill, and then work all day long. But as we shift to a time where labor value drops through the floor, income will be a game of taking control of resources. Whoever owns the most and best robots and other smart technologies, will end up with a monopoly on the entire economy. We will see escalating wealth inequality grow not only because wages are dropping, but also because in the game of investing, there is no second place – the best investor tends to dominate the market – aka see Warren Buffet.
The economy is trying to tell us something and we are not listening. Dropping wages are not a sign of a broken economy. It's working just fine in that regard. It's just telling us that it doesn't want humans to do the work anymore. In effect, the economy is telling us, "Thanks for all the work for the past 40,000 years, but you need to stop working, we machines will take it from here."
So, the problem is not jobs, the problem is a highly unstable economy where all the wealth accumulates into the hands of a very few, while the bulk of humanity lives in poverty. This is the end result we get when we mix free trade capitalism, with advancing technologies.
Technology advance is not a curse, it's a gift from heaven – it' is creating untold wealth as it advances. The problem is that our society is not set up correctly to share the wealth fairly.
This is where we must stop and ask ourselves what the goal of our society is. Is the purpose of our society to make a small number of humans super rich and powerful so they can take over the world while the rest of humanity suffers in poverty? Or is it perhaps, to create a society where "all men are created equal"? We each must answer that for ourselves, but I know my answer. The society I want to live in, is one where the goal of the society, is to elevate the stand of living and the happiness of every human in the society as high as we can. We are failing to do that right now, because we have not been offsetting the shift in wealth and the decline in wages that are being driven by advancing technology.
We must share the wealth more fairly and not let so much accumulate into the hands of the few. Before the great depression of 1929, the top 1% was receiving around 23.9% of all the income in the nation. And it caused the market to crash. As we recovered, we returned to greater sharing, and in the economic boom times of the 50s and 60s, the top 1% of the nation were receiving only around 10% of the income. But then we decided as a nation we were putting to much wealth redistribution into our economy, and we started to remove it. We lowed taxes on the rich, cut social programs, and by 2007, the top 1% were back to receiving 23.5% of the income, and it causes us to crash AGAIN. Lesson not learned.
As technol advances, we must KEEP adding adding more wealth sharing in order to stabilize the inequality at fair levels that will allow the machine economy to grow, while at the same time, actually making life better for everyone, not just the rich.
We have had the right idea as we add endless social programs to our government to offset the wealth inequality. But we have been going about the wrong way – and the result is a huge obtrusive, inefficient government. The correct way to create wealth sharing is not to make the government so large, that everyone in the country ends up working for the government. That's what we have been headed for, and that's not the right solution. That's what we tried to turn away from in the 70s – which led us back to the second great recession.
It's now time to fact the facts, and do massive welfare reform, by implementing wealth redistribution correctly. Don't let the government tell us what welfare we must pay for. Give the money to the people, and let them each decide for themselves, what they want.
The solution is straight forward. It's called a Basic Income Guarantee that taxes the entire economy, but makes the most rich pay more. But not more in the sense of a progressive tax, but instead, pay more with a flat tax, so every dollar gets taxed the same. Then, hand out that money, to very person in the country as a fixed pay from the wealthy, to the poor. Everyone gets the money, including the wealthy – no government agency will decide who gets it, and and how doesn't.
The point of this is not to "steal" from the rich. It's to offset the wealth inequality and bring it back down to fair levels, without having to force complex and specialized laws and tax rules on anyone. The entire welfare state can, and should be replaced with this one very simple economic tool for keeping wealth inequity fair and balanced.
it can be see as an automation tax, that takes wealth out of the entire economy – with no attempt to identify which business are more responsible for putting people out of work, and paying everyone a share to allow them to have a free share of the wealth created by our advancing automated economy.
The tax would start out small, but grow over time as technology continues to devalue wages and when we get to the point no one is working, and the only way people make money is by asking the machines what to invest in, the redistribution will just be a way of forcing the people that make the best investments, to share some of the wealth with everyone else – so that nobody is broke and wealth inequality stays at whatever level society believes is socially and morally justified.
We can not win the race against the machines any more than John Henry did. But we can and must decide what type of society we want to build for ourselves and our children. The economy is telling us what many are not ready to hear, but we must listen – the age of human labor is drawing to a close.

In this year's fitness challenge, we set out to demonstrate that maintaining the suggested health guidelines (2.5 hours a week of exercise and a low-fat, high-nutrient diet) was possible for full-time working professionals—even in a busy office. We enlisted two workplace teams, each with five members: the Atlanta office of international consulting and accounting firm Ernst &Young and the Decatur, Ga., recruitment office of Everest, a national health care, business and technical college. Each team member was given a personalized diet plan and nutrition counseling, and through the course of the 14-week challenge, each team worked out with its own personal trainer. In addition to competing for pounds and inches lost, both teams went head to head in the Competitive Edge Sports obstacle course workout for us to discover who would be the Fittest Office!

I too added extra cinnamon and added some cloves and nutmeg. I like to cook everything with olive oil and I didn't have any problems with consistency. If you want to add a special touch (both for the eyes and the tongue), blend 6oz of cream cheese with 1/4 to 1/2 c. white sugar (depending on how sweet you have made the bread and how sweet you want the cream cheese to be) and 1 egg or 1/4 cup of egg substitute. Put 1/3 of the batter in the pan, then 1/2 of the cream cheese mixture, 1/3 of the batter, the rest of the cream cheese mixture, and the rest of the batter. You can take a butter knife and run it through a few times if you want a swirl. I made muffins and reduced the cook time to about 35-40 minutes.
This is a quick and easy bread. It makes a nice, sweet, slightly crispy crust. I used regular canola oil since I didn't have sunflower oil. It makes it a little heavier but it is still very good. I also made a maple cream cheese spread to go on the top. I will make this again.
I've baked this a bunch of times, and it always makes a delicious loaf of carrot bread--really good with whipped cream cheese. Since I like spice cake, I add a bit more cinammon and a little ground ginger. To make it a low-carb treat, I substituted 3/4 cup of Atkins Bake Mix for 1 cup of the flour, reduced the oil by 1 tablespoon, and used Splenda instead of white sugar--the results were excellent! This one's a keeper.

Bobby Fulton
Real Name
James Hine
Date of Birth
October 4, 1960
Place of Birth
Former WWE star Nikolai Volkov and former NWA star Bobby Fulton were forced to wrestle on a mat at an independent wrestling show in a small town in Ohio recently, as promoters were unable to secure a ring for them to work on.
November 17, 2013
To further their story line, WWE has revealed that Stephanie McMahon has invited Brie Bella to make an appearance on the next episode of Monday Night Raw. This should move them closer to the long rumored match at Summerslam 2014. The belief is that this also gives the company an opportunity to showcase Daniel Bryan and capitalize on the fame that he recently picked up by detaining a burglar.
July 28, 2014
In an attempt to get as much out of his name value as possible, WWE has been utilizing Ric Flair during live events as a special guest referee. The hope is that his appearance will help convince some fans to attend the show. As of right now, he has been booked on a couple of shows throughout the summer in this particular role. No word yet on what WWE plans on doing with him on television, though.
July 26, 2014
On Monday Night Raw this week, Xavier Woods, who is only used sporadically on television by WWE, made a surprising appearance after a tag team match featuring Curtis Axel, Ryback, Kofi Kingston and Big E Langston. He cut a quick promo about how Kingston and Langston cannot get very far in WWE by being nice guys. This is the start of the long rumored stable, which has already been compared to the Nation of Domination by fans online.
July 22, 2014
While Ric Flair made his much anticipated return to Monday Night Raw this past week, WWE reportedly has no plans for the former world heavyweight champion. He was supposed to make another random appearance on Smackdown, but that was changed at the last minute due to the script being completely reworked. Flair will sporadically be making appearances for WWE heading into Summerslam 2014.
July 19, 2014
In the previous generation, Sean Waltman was the benchmark when it comes to fans giving him heat because they legitimately resented the performer. It looks like Eva Marie is going to be taking that mantle now. During a recent appearance at a WWE NXT live event, the red haired diva was treated rather rudely by the audience. Things became even worse after she put on a very sub par performance as well.
July 19, 2014
While many were afraid that the injury would cause him to lose his push, the fact that management has Wade Barrett scheduled to make an appearance at WWE Battleground 2014 is a good sign that the elevation will continue once he makes his return. The belief is that Barrett will be handing over the Intercontinental Championship to the winner of the battle royal, while planting the seeds for a future feud.
July 15, 2014
While it was still noticeable last night, WWE medical personnel worked fervently last night to repair the black eye on Bray Wyatt before he stepped in front of the cameras. They drained fluids from around his eye to reduce the swelling. Then, makeup artists did as much as they could to hide the darkness. WWE worked around the issue by having Erick Rowan and Luke Harper attacking Chris Jericho in the ring before Wyatt made a brief appearance on the stage.
July 15, 2014
WWE has a very big announcement being set up in Tokyo this week. It's such a major move in Japan that they even have Hulk Hogan making an appearance at the event. The belief is that this is where the company will reveal that they have signed Kenta Kobayashi, one of the better performers in the country, to a contract to join the WWE roster.
July 11, 2014
Since leaving WWE earlier in the year, CM Punk has remained relatively quiet, making sporadic appearances at NHL and MLB games. The former world heavyweight champion is going to be making a higher profile appearance later on this month. Punk will be the co-host of the kickoff show for the Alternative Press Music Awards, which is being held at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in Cleveland.
July 9, 2014
Since his company is folding and he is joining the Great Muta in Wrestle-1, there are talks that Tajiri could be making an appearance in TNA very soon, as the two companies have been working closely together nowadays. Tajiri still has some name value due to his stint in WWE, and he has a connection with characters like Rhyno, Bully Ray, Tommy Dreamer and Devon.
July 6, 2014
A car dealership in East Hanover, New Jersey decided to pay Chris Jericho some money to make a promotional appearance, and it paid off big time. The former WWE star managed to draw in approximately 800 people to the event, some of whom stuck around and checked out the vehicles that were being sold. Jericho's drawing power is so tremendous that he can easily generate a good income by doing various appearances across the country.
June 29, 2014
On the independent wrestling circuit, Matt Hardy requires a $1500 paycheck for each appearance. The promoter also has to pay for his hotel and airfare. Plus, Reby Sky gets an additional $300 for appearing as well. Since TNA really wanted Hardy to help boost interest in the latest series of Impact Wrestling episodes, the company opted to pay him twice his asking price.
June 29, 2014
A familiar face is expected to show up on Impact Wrestling soon. Rumors are going around that Gene Snitsky has signed a contract with TNA. Aside from an imposing stature, he also brings with him a little name value, thanks to his memorable stint in WWE. No word yet on how long the deal is supposed to be, so there is a chance that his appearance might be temporary.
June 26, 2014
Monday Night Raw is heading to Montreal next month, and Bret Hart has been signed to make an appearance. WWE is also filming Smackdown in Canada that week, so there is a very good chance that Hart might be making a second appearance for the company. No word yet on what he will be doing on the show, but rumors are suggesting that it will not be anything big.
June 24, 2014
In a rather interesting bit of news, reports are surfacing that the audience at Monday Night Raw did not react much when WWE announced that Daniel Bryan would be making an appearance at Money in the Bank 2014. That comes as a surprise because he was really one of the most popular guys in the industry before he left to have surgery on his injured neck. It should be interesting to see how fans react to him at the pay per view itself.
June 24, 2014
Next month, Booker T will be holding the first ever internet pay per view event for his Reality of Wrestling promotion, and he's calling in a big name to help him out. Diamond Dallas Page has signed on to make an appearance at the show. The former WCW champion is unlikely to be wrestling at the event, but he could take part in a physical altercation in an in ring segment.
June 9, 2014
While his character quit WWE on Monday Night Raw this week, Batista is still very much working with the company. The former world heavyweight champion will still be making an appearance at a WWE NXT event later on this month. Afterwards, he is expected to take off for a couple of months to do promote Guardians of the Galaxy and film another movie.
June 4, 2014
Rumors going around right now is that CM Punk will be making an appearance at Payback 2014 tonight because the event is taking place in his hometown of Chicago. However, the former WWE champion revealed that he will be approximately 20 miles down the road from the pay per view. Punk will be attending an NHL game instead of making his return to wrestling.
June 1, 2014
During a recent interview to promote his upcoming appearance at Slammiversary 2014, Kevin Von Erich revealed to the Dallas News that he normally avoids traveling because of a bad back suffered from years of being an in ring performer. The Texas legend stated that he was willing to travel from his home in Hawaii to the TNA pay per view because he wants to see his son performing on a national stage.
June 1, 2014
On Saturday night, Jim Ross is doing his one man show at the House of Blues in Chicago. The longtime WWE commentator is hoping that a very famous resident of the city will make a surprise appearance at his event. Ross publicly stated that he does not know if CM Punk will be there, but he hopes that the former WWE champion checks out his act.
May 30, 2014
While most fans have probably never even heard of him, Bobby Fulton did get a brief stint in WWE. It was during the summer of 1997 when he was given tryout matches against Tommy Rogers, whom he teamed with as the Fantastics. He stated that Jim Cornette used them to convince Vince McMahon to start a light heavyweight division.
February 8, 2014
While he is more known for his partnership with Tommy Rogers, Bobby Fulton decided to use the Fantastics name when he teamed up with his brother, Jackie Fulton. The two of them defeated Stan Lane and Tom Prichard in Johnson City, Tennessee to capture the Smoky Mountain tag team championship.
August 8, 1992

Victor Lipman, Contributor
I write about management and corporate life.
Being (somewhat) active on Twitter, and fascinated by the vast amounts of wildly random but often extremely useful information endlessly tweeting across it, I'm always interested in who's using it. So when I just happened across a study this evening from earlier this summer analyzing Twitter's global usage patterns, I gobbled it up like some of those Christmas treats I've been eating too many of. The findings surprised me. The world's most active city in terms of posted tweets? No, it's not New York, Tokyo or London (though they're all in the top 5).
It's Jakarta, Indonesia. In addition to New York, Tokyo and London, Sao Paulo is in the top 5. And the number 6 city, just ahead of Paris and Los Angeles, is Bandung, Indonesia. (For context, Bandung's population is approximately 2.4 million, and Jakarta's is a bit over 10 million.)
Not that we need the slightest bit of further evidence of the global nature of social media, but I still felt the study, "Geolocation Analysis of Twitter Accounts and Tweets," by the Paris-based research firm Semiocast, contained numerous morsels of #twitterly interest. Among them:
The top 5 countries in terms of Twitter accounts are the U.S., Brazil, Japan, U.K. and (no surprise) Indonesia. The next five are also an eclectic group: India, Mexico, Canada, Spain and the Philippines.
With over 140 million accounts, the U.S. has 27 percent of all Twitter users, and that percentage is declining. San Francisco, where Twitter is headquartered, is not among the 20 most active (#tweetiest) Twitter cities, but Riyadh (number 10) and Istanbul (number 12) are.
Arabic usage on Twitter continues to grow; it's now the 6th most tweeted language.
In short, the study may not have been terribly nutritious, but it was tasty… much like Twitter itself.
Implications for businesses? The world, of course, is only 140 characters away. And Indonesia's vast market of 237 million is closer than ever.

Also on Forbes:
Hi, I'm from India but work in Ghana(West Africa). As many would agree, africa is not really a happening place when it comes to technology. Twitter has been the saviour for us here. I follow various tech giants like Microsoft, Google, Apple, etc., and tech mags like Techcrunch, AllThingsD, Engadget to know the latest in tech space and keep in pace with the outside world. As a S/W developer, I get to know about new dev tools/ techs/ market places/plugins/updates. It would be very difficult for me to go and surf through each website and find what I want. Instead, twitter aggregates all the reqd info for me in a 140 char desc, which I can surf through easily and then dig in to the info which I want to know. I would say, twitter's biggest contribution is in bridging the gap b/w first and 3rd world countries
Living in Bandung, I can truly say that your story is correct. But, people just don't believe me when I say that Indonesians LOVE twitter. (We are moving from Facebook to twitter. And people from Facebook don't believe me.)
Indonesians love to talk (yadayadayada … :)) It's more natural to do it over twitter compared to facebook. It's strange to change status 20 times in FB, but it's okay (or even encouraged) to do it on twitter.
Second, most Indonesians use regular phones (not smartphones) and network is still slow here. Twitter is easier (lighter) on these phones + networks. Thus, more interactions are possible.
1. Twitter has much simpler privacy rules. Either the public can read your tweets, or not. FB has much more complex rules.
2. So many Twitter client to choose from, compared to FB's client (is there any 3rd party client?)
3. Low bandwidth. In Indonesia, the cheapest internet access also means the slowest. Twitter fits perfectly with this condition, accessed mainly from smartphones (Blackberry still rules in Indonesia, then Android, and then iPhone), not from the PC.
My name is Afina, Indonesian, and yes, I tweet a lot, because updating Facebook more than five times a day is socially unacceptable :)
I follow people that will help me to develop my mind indirectly. I need people's opinions; mostly about politics, economy, and what's going on lately. I find it is important on having Twitter, here are my reasons:
1. My parents do not own Twitter account so I guess I can 'scream' in every way I like on Twitter.
2. It will not allow you to tell people more than 140 characters.
3. It is very easy. Whenever you agree on someone's tweet, you just need to retweet it. Voice your own mind.
4. Very Afina, because what I like most from Twitter is reading my friends' opinions, thoughts, and those unimportant things they will never tell me directly.
5. Your following approximately describes who you are, or at least, describe what you like. Jokes, politics, entertainment, anything.
6. Whenever you feel like informing something, just tweet :D Trapped in a traffic jam (so other people will avoid your troubled route), whether you already voted for the country, or about your cute son, or about anything. This actually applies on blablabla-news accounts. And by this way, it is very easy on knowing what happens outside the classroom, is canteen full already? Or is the food stall closed?
7. You can always know what your idols do, love, and think. You can also measure whether they deserve a follow or not.
8. Someone said that in Indonesia, whenever you want to apply for a job, some staffs from the company you are applied to will check (or 'stalk' to be precise) on your social medias, like Twitter and Facebook. If you can manage yourself well while managing your social medias, this is a good news :D
9. Very handy, because it is easy to read, even via cellphone, for it is only provide tweets less than 140 characters.
Happy Tweeting!

Getting Fire Prevention Messages into Schools, Then Homes
Presented by Daniel Byrne
Presentation Date: Tue 08/06/13 - 12:00 PM CDT
Sponsored by: Alert-All Corp.
Too many fire departments wait until October to make contact with their local school. A solid fire prevention program, complete with needed reinforcements through constant exposure, takes more than one visit per year. This webcast will help fire departments develop a year-round partnership with local schools to create constant contact and exposure with the students. Attendees will learn about fire safety programs that are geared towards elementary school children, including fire survival, what to do after the fire has started, and fire prevention. The best fire department program can quickly become marginalized when children return home to uneducated parents. Any school programs need to involve a concentrated effort to reach parents at home and get them involved with the information that we provide to the their children.

She will also swim in the yard 100 freestyle, where she is seeded fifth at 0:50.89, and will compete as the eleventh seed in the 100 yard butterfly at 0:56.54.
Junior Kaitlin Reilly will join Pennington in the 100 yard butterfly event, after she qualified with a time of 0:57.91.
The Pride will also send three divers to the national stage and is the only institution in the country to have three student-athletes compete in the meet. All three divers will be competing for the first time in the national level as junior Courtney Keefe, sophomore Paige Rhodes, and freshman Jennifer Thompson will represent Springfield College.
Springfield will also look to score points in the relay events as it will compete in several races. The Pride will swim the 200 yard freestyle relay, where it is seeded 12th with a time of 1:35.10, and will also swim the 400 yard freestyle relay, as it is seeded 13th place with a qualifying time of 3:29.68. In the 800 yard freestyle relay, the Pride qualified as the 16th seed in 7:39.88. Springfield qualified in a pair of medley relays, owning a time of 3:57.32 in the 400 yard medley relay, and a time of 1:46.69 for the 200 medley relay.

Bees fascinate and inspire people, young and old. Bees improve our health and nutrition through pollination of fruits and vegetables. They produce honey, a delicious natural sweetener and an effective burn and wound remedy. They collect tree resins, called propolis, which have remarkable antimicrobial properties that benefit human and bee health.
Bees are vital to our lives.
But bee health is failing due to a paucity of bee-friendly flowers, chronic exposure to pesticides, and debilitating diseases, and parasites.
Bees need our help.
Join us in our effort to bring back a bee friendly world.
Our vision is to create research and discovery facilities to showcase the beauty and complexity of the bee society and their direct connection to food, agriculture, floral landscapes, and medicine.
The Bee Research and Discovery Center will be unique among bee labs nationally. The center will encompass two prominent sites at the University of Minnesota: the Research and Teaching facility will be on the St. Paul Campus and Public Education and Discovery facility will be at the Landscape Arboretum.
The Public Discovery facility has recently received funding from a generous donation through the Landscape Arboretum, and plans are underway for its construction.
We are now seeking funding for the most essential space: the Research and Teaching facility.
Research and Teaching Space: The Essential Core
Honey bees, our nation's most vital pollinators of natural, urban and agricultural ecosystems, are being threatened by diseases, parasitic mites, pesticides and habitat destruction, which in turn threatens our nation's food supply. The University of Minnesota has maintained an internationally recognized research, teaching and extension program on honey bees since 1918. Given that Minnesota is the fifth largest honey producing state in the nation, North Dakota is second and South Dakota is ranked fourth, the program at the University of Minnesota is uniquely situated at the heart of apiculture activity in the United States, and is a premier provider of bee research and teaching.
The current bee research facility on St. Paul campus is no longer adequate to accommodate the growing and urgent need for increased bee research and beekeeper training. A new state-of-the-art Research and Teaching facility will be transformative for bee research. This facility will efficiently combine research and teaching space to improve bee health and biodiversity, train new undergraduate and graduate students, mentor new beekeepers and assist commercial and backyard beekeepers. The new research facility will showcase the importance of bees to agriculture and to human nutrition, health and food safety. And it will expand and enhance our internationally recognized research program and provide substantial benefits to the University through increased federal funding and interdisciplinary and international collaborations.
Bee Landscaping
The Research Space surroundings will be artfully landscaped with bee-pollinated trees, shrubs, and gardens. Here students can experience floral landscapes from the perspective of a pollinator and appreciate how pollinators, in turn, shape our environment. Landscape designs will teach how everyone can help to improve habitat , protect bees from harmful pesticides and promote bee health and diversity.
With your help, bees will survive. With your help, bee research and education will thrive for generations to come. Through your generosity, the private funds we raise for the Center for Bee Research and Discovery at the University of Minnesota will:
• Construct a state-of-the-art research facility on St Paul campus
• Construct a public space at the Landscape Arboretum to showcase a friendly world from a bee's perspective
• Endow a faculty chair to attract and retain top faculty in this critical research specialty
• Establish a graduate fellowship to train tomorrow's experts
Support Excellence! Support Bees!
"Together, we can protect American agriculture and the food we eat every day by helping the honey bee get back on its own six feet." - Professor Marla Spivak, Entomologist and honey bee expert at the University of Minnesota

Development Officer

By Emily Younker
Michelle Million-Worley brushes off the thanks that volunteers assisting in the rebuilding of Joplin usually receive. Instead, she considers herself the thankful one — thankful, she said, for the chance to do something meaningful to honor her daughter, Rayni.
"Rayni loved helping people, and immediately after she passed, I knew she would want me to continue," she said. "She was an amazing child. She was so giving."
Million-Worley, of Poplar Bluff, on Saturday wrapped up nearly a week of volunteering for tornado rebuilding efforts in Joplin in memory of her 15-year-old daughter, Shelby-Ruth Rainwater "Rayni" Worley, who died Nov. 7 from complications of a surgery. She said it was her first trip without her daughter by her side.
Million-Worley said she is still working to process her grief, but she takes comfort in knowing how many people her daughter had touched. Rayni donated her old clothes to children living in shelters, volunteered with Vacation Bible School classes and wanted to provide meals to the homeless, she said.
To continue that mission on behalf of her daughter, Million-Worley volunteered with Samaritan's Purse, an evangelical Christian relief organization that has been in Joplin since the May 2011 tornado. She put up drywall and built the railing of a deck at a house on East 25th Street in Duquesne. On Friday, her last full day in Joplin, she was learning how to cut concrete blocks at a house on the 2500 block of South Virginia Avenue.
"She (Rayni) couldn't have done stuff like this because of her lungs and the dust," she said, "but this is her kind of thing."
Rayni was born with severe combined immunodeficiency syndrome, which causes abnormalities in the immune system. As she grew older, she also was diagnosed with pulmonary fibrosis, which involves the scarring of the lungs, and pulmonary hypertension, which is high blood pressure in the arteries of the lungs. Because of her illnesses, which had been diagnosed as terminal cases, she was homebound through the eighth grade and spent a few hours each day at her high school with other students, her mother said.
Million-Worley said Rayni went into cardiac arrest in the middle of a scoliosis surgery last fall. For two days afterward, she was responsive but on life support. She spent the next two weeks heavily sedated, and at that time Million-Worley made the difficult decision to remove her daughter from life support.
Million-Worley said as she worked this week that she felt connected to her daughter.
"Helping people makes me happy; helping people made Rayni happy," she said. "This week I've had a lot of joy. This week I've laughed a lot."
She said being in Joplin has sparked an understanding of what families — particularly those who lost a child — faced after the tornado.
"I just feel for the people here," she said. "Unfortunately, I think any parent who has lost a child has a special bond with someone else who has."
Million-Worley said she chose Joplin because it is relatively close to her hometown, as she was afraid of being far from her friends and family during her time of grief. She and Rayni had also taken a detour through Joplin shortly after the tornado as they drove back to Poplar Bluff from a medical conference they had attended.
"I remember stopping at a gas station, and we were in awe," she said. "The devastation — Rayni was just taken aback."
After her week in Joplin, Million-Worley said she will return home to work and save up enough money to allow her to take another break for volunteer efforts.
"I've already asked about coming back," she said.
Local mission
Michelle Million-Worley and her daughter, Rayni, years ago launched Rayni Day Miracles, a nonprofit organization serving children with life-threatening illnesses. Million-Worley continues to work with the organization after her daughter's death.

Every great nation should have an equally great capital city to celebrate its history, culture, and political structure. George Washington recognized the importance of establishing and locating the American capital and worked closely with architects, designers, and builders to create some of the city's most prominent and enduring features.
From his vantage point, Washington delighted in watching the construction of the city that bears his name. Washington, DC developed according to his belief in a strong democratic government, filled with edifices and ideas that would become "the Pillars on which the glorious Fabrick of our Independency and National Character must be supported."
The George Washington's D.C. Ceramic Coaster features an image of the U.S. Capitol building with a surround of pink cherry blossoms.
The round, cork-backed ceramic coaster is 3 ½" in diameter.

Hillary Clinton's Benghazi Hearing Proves Women Can Handle Combat
Secretary of State Hillary Clinton was strong and focused as she testified to Congress on Benghazi.
If there was any question, ahead of the Pentagon's decision to allow women in combat roles, about whether females could handle it, one needed only to look at the other major story of the day: Secretary of State Clinton taking apart the men in Congress who thought they could bully her into submission.
Lifting the ban on women in combat is long overdue, especially after the valiant performance of female soldiers in Iraq and Afghanistan. True, men are largely physically stronger than women, but modern wars are fought with technology and sophisticated weaponry. We're not looking at battalions going at it in hand-to-hand combat. And one of the biggest physical readiness problems the military is experiencing now is obesity among recruits, a health matter that affects both sexes.
[See a collection of political cartoons on Afghanistan.]
The "unit cohesivenes"' argument is still out there—it's the same one that had people insisting that gays should not be able to serve in the military. Women, some critics (still!) are fretting, will be a distraction to the male soldiers. Again, an old argument, and one used to keep women out of all sorts of jobs for which they are equally, or more than equally, qualified to do. Aside from the inherent insult to women—that women's purpose is largely ornamental, and they should leave the real work to the important men—the argument is nonsensical. The incentive to keep one's focus is even stronger in the military, since allowing one's mind to wander could get you killed—or court-martialed. It's hard to believe that commanders can train men to kill people and face death themselves, but be unable to discipline them to pay attention to their work, and not the charms of their female colleagues.
You want to see how strong women can be? Watch the tapes of Clinton testifying before House and Senate committees on the Benghazi affair. She was resolute, she was frank, she was humbled, and she expressed a sincere determination to find out what really happened the day four foreign service officers—one of whom was a personal friend of hers—were killed. She talked for seven hours on a highly emotional and complex topic. When first-term Sen. Rand Paul of Kentucky told Clinton that if he had been president, she would have been relieved of her duties, one could almost see the sides of Clinton's mouth turn up slightly (since the idea of Paul having been president is kind of like the rest of us in our living rooms on Super Bowl Sunday, saying, "Well if I were the Ravens coach…"). But she kept it together, controlling her emotions for the sake of professionalism.
[See a collection of political cartoons on Congress.]
And when Sen. Ron Johnson of Wisconsin continually sought to create a cover-up scandal, suggesting that the administration deliberately misled the American public about what led to the attack, Clinton would not be bullied. Johnson bizarrely asserted that the cause of the attack, a spontaneous demonstration or a planned attack, could have been determined in hours or days, an absurd notion to anyone who has been in a war zone or such a violent and chaotic situation. Clinton raised her voice, saying, "What difference, at this point, does it make? It is our job to figure out what happened and do everything we can to prevent it from happening again."
In other words, she was strong and focused. Just what we expect from the men and women in the military.

Hawaii Before Statehood: Color Photos, 1959
The image and legend of Hawaii as a tropical paradise endures for countless reasons. Few places on earth can boast more dramatic or romantic landscapes; the weather is generally gorgeous; the variety of climates one can encounter within the space of a few miles — from arid to tropical to near-alpine to sun-splashed beach — is mind-boggling; the waters surrounding the islands partake of those impossible shades of green and blue that painters have sought for centuries to capture on canvas. The pace of life is utterly, soothingly humane.
But paradise, as we all know, exists only in fairy tales — or, if a paradise did once exist in the North Pacific, it long ago gave way to the complex, ambiguous and often politically fraught realities of the modern world. The Hawaii of the travel brochures — as marvelous as it might be in theory, and even at times in fact — is a beautiful construct, but one that often ignores the island chain's bumpier, and endlessly fascinating, history. (For instance, how many Americans in the contiguous 48 know anything at all about the nonviolent "democratic revolution" of labor strikes and major acts of civil disobedience that roiled the islands in 1954, reshaping Hawaii's political landscape for all time?)
Here, on the anniversary of the enactment of the 1900 law that provided a government for the territory of Hawaii, LIFE.com presents a number of color photographs from 1959, the year Hawaii officially became America's 50th state. In a March 1959 article, "Hawaii — Beauty, Wealth, Amiable People," for which these pictures were made, LIFE painted a largely rosy picture of the place:
The first proposal to make Hawaii a state was put forward more than a hundred years ago when President Franklin Pierce cast his eyes across the Pacific and proposed that the splendid and strategic islands be taken into the union. Pierce's plan faded and it was not until 1898 that Hawaii was annexed as a U.S. territory. Proposals to make Hawaii a state have been on the books of Congress for more than 40 years. Now it seems almost certain that in this session Hawaii will achieve its aim. [Hawaii was granted statehood in August 1959.]
As a territory, Hawaii has developed a sturdy economy based on U.S. military expenditures at Pearl Harbor and elsewhere, and on sugar, pineapple, tourism and livestock. The islands, which have a total area roughly that of New Jersey, have bred an incredibly polyglot and racially integrated population of nearly 600,000. [Note: Hawaii's current population is 1.4 million.] This mean that Hawaiian statehood, besides conferring full U.S. status on a potentially rich and decidedly vital area, would also indicate to all the peoples of the Pacific and of Asia that the U.S. can still be the tolerant, hospitable melting pot of old.

Stay up-to-date with KAKE News:
Kansas, like the rest of the country, has seen less than half the number of people getting sick from West Nile virus so far this year as normal.
The Kansas Department of Health and Environment says it's seen 13 cases reported in the state, compared with 32 at this point in 2007. Nationally, health officials say they've recorded 712 West Nile cases, compared with 1,982 last year.
But they can't figure out why.
West Nile is carried by mosquitoes. Health officials say there may have been environmental conditions this year that prevented the disease from spreading as rapidly.
But Emily Zielinski-Gutierrez of the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention says residents should still take precautions to avoid being bitten by mosquitoes.
