I'm sure he's a nice guy and I don't mean to bash the guy, but his stories and characterizations are not right for this title. Like, he couldn't be more off the mark "not right". I'll be interested to see how his Uncanny X-Force does, which is another dark themed title.
Oh I'm sure he's a great guy and probably very friendly. But he's ruining this book, which means I would like him reassigned to something more suited to his talents. Ultimates isn't where he should be. I know Millar was kind of being a dick near the end of his time in the UU because he simply wanted out and to pursue more MillarWorld stuff, but as of right now anything Millar would bring to the table sounds like heaven compared to what we've been getting.

Wow, guys whats up with the overreaction?! I do not think that Humohries are going to do a family bond between Fury and the Scorpio. Yeah they both have an eye patch but that dosn't mean they are related like not all gingers are related and because they are related in the 616 doesn't mean they will be in the Ultimate Universe. I for one like the idea that the 616 lookalike version of Fury will be the commander of Hydra. That would be like the worst nightmare 616 Fury could imagine.
I know many of you just hate what Humphries has done in the Ultimate universe and I agree that he hasn't do the most amazing work but from my point of view he has done okay. I do understand why there is all the patriotism. They country is in ruin of cause that will inspire a new wave of patriotism just look at the economic crisis in europe (I am from Denmark). In all the countries where the crisis is taken it hard there have been an uprising of nationalism so it makes sense. And that the Ultimates could just swoop down and take away the local uprising also makes sense to me. The rebellions have barely had a mouth to get organized and prepared for leading a new country so of cause they are easy to take out. I will give you all that the dialog have been weak and the characterization also have been weak but rarely been all out of character except Hawkeye which have been oddly off his former performance. But I do understand why Cap has been more of a boy scout after being elected president. But what I really don't like if the wast of Modi. He could have been so cool have a power set of something of a mix of his father Thor and mother Hel and the being brought up by Loke as we see in New Ultimates. I still hope that someone will make a recon and explain it was only Loke in disguise as Modi we saw.
That got a little out of topic, sorry. But I am still looking forward to see a 616 lookalike Fury being the leader of Hydra!
I'll reserve judgement until I actually read the issue, but my hopes aren't too high. Humphries' work has been a steaming pile of poo so far.

1) Find a bad guy
2) Be Wolverine
Bring Back Ultimate Wolverine...again!
What's upsetting about it has nothing to do with family ties or whatnot. This is a perfect example of how NOT to Ultimatize a character. Nick Fury has already been Ultimatized, that should be the end of it. Instead, we are now getting someone who looks exactly like 616 Nick Fury, except he's a bad guy... It would be semi understandable if Ultimate Nick Fury was killed and this were a replacement of sorts, but he isn't and he isn't. It's like Humphries is trying to do something like when Kid Daredevil debuted, how he was wearing a classic yellow/black 616 Daredevil costume, or how Anthony was wearing a classic 616 Iron Man armor, but in this picture alone it is not working. Marvel has already tainted Ultimate Nick Fury enough by letting 616 have a version of him, just leave the poor man alone, lol.
Not only should white Fury not exist in the UU, it's already been done and even that was a little weird: During Ultimate Doomsday when black Fury was wearing the white costume. It was excusable because the white costume didn't even look like 616 Fury, aside from the white sideburns. That was an homage, and sort of worked. What we have here is 616 Nick Fury right down to the 616 SHIELD uniform.
Sure, we are literally making assumptions at best from what is only a small, unclear image... But if that cover is any indication of what's inside the issue, it's fair to say that it's going to be a let down...

The White agente from Doomsday was Fury himself? That i didn't remember, have to read that again
This is getting sad.I'm reading the point one issue and if i dont like it I am out.
Well, I have heard of Max Fury but I was arguing that I don't think the ultimatize would have anything to do with the family relationship between Max and Nick in the 616. I am hoping it will be a strange and cool mixture between Max and Nick from the 616. Ant Balfo I see your point I am just not accepting the premise that this is a Nick Fury ultimatize this is a Scorpio ultimatize. And to have the Scorpio look like 616 Nick Fury is kind of cool to me. But I am agreeing with Wolverine12 that our Ultimate do not have the standard they had under Millar and Hickman but it is on the other hand neither the standard of Loeb, thanks the gods for that!
Oh yeah now i remenber, later on Ultimate Comics Mystery 3, Sue even refers to that guy as Fury, I thought that was a joke

American Health Care Is Top-Notch
Are You Getting Good Heart Care?
Who's Paying the Health Care Bill?
Doctors Still Afraid of Malpractice Suits
Will There Be Enough Doctors?
When I worked in the emergency room of a major city hospital, I had access to highly sophisticated medical technology any time I wanted. It certainly made the difference in the outcome of many complex and challenging cases. But what I relied on more than any technology was judgment and intuition based on years of experience.
Just call it my "eyeball test." Are they alert and able to communicate? Do they have a strong grip and can they walk about on their own? First impressions of a patient formed in the initial seconds and minutes were often my best and most reliable guide to diagnosis.
Medical science has now confirmed that some decidedly non-technical measures can be powerful predictors of medical outcomes. For example, a firm handshake can indicate that a patient is healthy enough to undergo surgery. Or the amount of time it takes for an elderly patient to walk just 15 feet can help to predict heart-surgery risk.
A new study published in the
Journal of the American College of Cardiology
recommends testing
gait speed
as a predictor of physical and mental health in elderly patients. The amount of time it takes for an elderly patient to walk five meters (about 15 feet) correlates with the patient's ability to withstand the stress of surgery – in this case, the quicker the better.
A total of 131 heart surgery patients were studied for gait speed. Those who took longer than six seconds to walk 15 feet were nearly three times as likely to die or suffer from complications, such as a stroke or kidney failure. The slow walkers were also twice as likely to have a prolonged hospital stay or be discharged to a nursing home than the sub-six second speedsters. (Use of a cane or a walker didn't affect the results.)
The study also calls attention to some other low-tech methods of assessing health status of heart patients and those with other medical conditions. For example, a daily record of weight measured on the bathroom scale can detect an unhealthy build-up of fluid from heart failure. A couple of pounds of weight gain may indicate imminent worsening of heart failure and the need for prompt evaluation to avoid hospitalization.
The tape measure is another low-tech tool predictive of health for use at home or in the doctor's office. Waist measurement over 40 inches in men and 35 inches in women signal a marked increase in risk for metabolic syndrome, a precursor to diabetes. Either of these afflictions can increase the risk of kidney failure, retinal and heart disease.
Here's another use for a tape measure: Men with a neck circumference of 17 inches or greater and 16 inches for women are at greater risk of sleep apnea. If untreated, the sleep disorder is associated with increased risk of elevated blood pressure, stroke, traffic accidents, and heart disease.

American Health Care Is Top-Notch
Americans enjoy extraordinary medical care – this often gets lost in all the health care reform debate. Sure, we spend a lot of money on health care. In fact, we invest more than 80%of the world's research and development budget in pharmaceutical and medical devices. And we spend 17%of GDP on medical care. But the returns – both in high-paying jobs for hundreds of thousands of American workers and in medical breakthroughs – are the envy of the world.

Are You Getting Good Heart Care?
Many Americans are faced with serious cardiovascular problems. Nearly 17 million Americans have been diagnosed with coronary artery disease (CAD), and millions more are at risk of developing CAD. The disease predisposes people to heart attacks and stroke. Damage to the coronary and carotid arteries raises the risk of compromised vital blood flow to the heart muscle and brain.

Who's Paying the Health Care Bill?
One of the great debates in health care is about who pays the bill. Free-market advocates think that if consumers were more involved in paying for the cost of medical care, they'd be more judicious shoppers and help to reduce the rate of medical inflation. Single government payer system advocates prefer that employers and the government pick up more of the tab, which shields consumers from the actual costs of care, to expand coverage to more citizens.

Doctors Still Afraid of Malpractice Suits
With all the hope for positive change expected from Obamacare, a reduction in defensive medicine practice is notably missing. Two recent studies suggest that defensive medicine is widespread and adding significantly to the country's health care tab. About 90% of physicians surveyed acknowledge defensive medical practice and estimates of related costs run as high as $650 billion.

Will There Be Enough Doctors?
Improved access to health insurance is now the law of the land, but don't confuse insurance with improved access to care. The demand for doctors will grow dramatically as 30 million more people acquire health coverage under the new Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA). The Association of American Medical Colleges estimates that at current graduation and training rates, the U.S could face a shortage of as many as 150,000 doctors over the next 15 years.

Recent successes by the Tampa Bay Lightning's AHL affiliate have vanished this season as the Crunch flounder.
Former Tampa Bay Lightning and Syracuse Crunch assistant coach Martin Raymond takes the head coaching position with the Drummondville Voltigeurs.
A stripped roster and a coaching change has left the team and their fans a bit shaken in Syracuse.
As the Tampa Bay Lightning begins it's transition from Guy Boucher to Jon Cooper, much is left up in the air. Much is uncertain... All while two points remain up for grabs. two points the Buffalo Sabres want.
Tonight's game is not postponed on account of Guy Boucher's dismissal. What is going to happen? Dunno. What do you need to know about the Lightning leading into this game? Not sure, besides continued uncertainty.
Coaching and the Tampa Bay Lightning is a growing talking point among fans and media, so a report out of Sweden only adds fuel to the fire for the organization in general.
It's summer and things are moving along at summer's pace: a lurch and a stall. But there's still plenty to talk about in the world of hockey. Your links for this week.
Guy Boucher beign considered a candidate for the Montreal Canadiens head coaching job isn't realistic whatsoever. But don't expect that to stop speculation from happening.
Dani's weekly link potpourri from the Boltosphere as well as the rest of the NHL.

EAST COUNTY — To say Corey Hanewich was disappointed in the way the Lady Mustangs finished the 2008 volleyball season would be an understatement.
After an average season against one of the toughest districts in the area, Lakewood Ranch entered the district tournament with high expectations. But the fourth-seeded Lady Mustangs saw their season come to an unexpected halt in the opening round of the Class 5A-District 12 Championship as the fifth-seeded Charlotte Tarpons came from behind to defeat the Lady Mustangs in four games.
"Last year, we ended up losing in the district tournament, but I remember those four games were really close," Hanewich said. "When we lost, it was really emotional. It wasn't the best lost we've ever had."
Looking to put the disappointment of last season behind them, Hanewich and fellow senior Jessica Robertson spent most of the summer in the gym conditioning and preparing for this season. As the only two returning varsity players, Hanewich and Robertson will be called upon to lead a young Lady Mustangs team.
"I think we're going to surprise a lot of people," first-year varsity head coach Stacey Goodale said. "We're a very young team, but we've got a lot of heart and a lot of hustle."
Lakewood Ranch began its season Aug. 26 against Cardinal Mooney and The Out-of-Door Academy in the Cardinal Mooney Preseason Classic.
The Lady Mustangs will have their work cut out for them this season as they prepare to face a new district. After moving down to Class 4A-District 10, the Lady Mustangs are now in a district with Bayshore, Braden River, Dixie Hollins, St. Pete Lakewood, Osceola and Palmetto. St. Pete Lakewood, who won four consecutive Class 5A district titles before moving down to Class 4A this season, should prove to be the toughest test for Lakewood Ranch.
"I would like to go deeper into districts and hopefully hang closer with some of the bigger schools like Southeast," Hanewich said. "But as a team our main goal is pretty much to demolish Braden River."
Looking at the Lady Pirates schedule for the upcoming season, first-year head coach Steven Haugh couldn't help but cringe.
After all, having to play volleyball powerhouses Riverview, Sarasota and defending district champions Venice and St. Pete Lakewood in a span of two weeks would be enough to rattle even the most veteran of leaders.
"Those first four games will be a big test for us to see if we can play at the highest level of volleyball this area has to offer," Haugh said. "We're going to find out very quickly what we're made of."
A season ago, the Lady Pirates advanced to the regional semifinals for the first time in school history before eventually falling to district champion DeSoto. Braden River has high hopes for this season, including making another run at the district title.
"We want to do really well in districts and hopefully do extremely well in the county tournament," senior captain Allison Martin said. "We have a really young team, and we don't have a lot of experience, but we have a lot of natural talent. Right now, we're working on playing together, and hopefully then, we'll be able to click faster and succeed faster."
Leading the Lady Pirates this season will be Martin and fellow seniors Lauren Powell, Rachel Hubbard and Regina Aluise, regarded as one of the best setters in the area.
"We have four seniors who have been here, and we're going to count a lot on their leadership," Haugh said. "They're working very hard and bringing the fun back to volleyball."
Braden River opened its season Aug. 26 at Riverview and will begin district play against St. Pete Lakewood Sept. 9.
With 27 years of playing and coaching experience, Julio Cruz knows what it takes for a program to be successful.
Now as the new head coach of The Out-of-Door Academy's volleyball team, Cruz is looking to take a relatively young Lady Thunder team and build off of last season.
"The No. 1 thing is can we play together as a whole," Cruz said. "We just have to keep putting the pieces together until the puzzle is complete."
Seniors Jonna Marchese, Alana Rogers, Colleen McGrath and Hilary Hawkins will be called upon to lead ODA this season as the Lady Thunder prepare to begin playing in Class 2A.
The new district schedule still remains somewhat of a mystery to Cruz and the Lady Thunder who will be facing a majority of the schools for the first time. Joining ODA in Class 2A-District 11 this season will be Admiral Farragut, Northside Christian School, St. Stephen's Episcopal School and Shorecrest Prep.
"My expectations are for us to win at least the district with the schools that are in our division," Cruz said. "We have four seniors who will provide good leadership for the team. A lot of these girls have been playing together for a long time."
The Lady Thunder began their 2009 campaign Aug. 26 against Cardinal Mooney and Lakewood Ranch in the Cardinal Mooney Preseason Classic. ODA will begin its district season Aug. 31 at Shorecrest Prep.

Quantitative Analysis of Hsp90-Client Interactions Reveals Principles of Substrate Recognition
Cell, Volume 150, Issue 5, 31 August 2012, Pages 987-1001

SummaryHSP90 is a molecular chaperone that associates with numerous substrate proteins called clients. It plays many important roles in human biology and medicine, but determinants of client recognition by HSP90 have remained frustratingly elusive. We systematically and quantitatively surveyed most human kinases, transcription factors, and E3 ligases for interaction with HSP90 and its cochaperone CDC37. Unexpectedly, many more kinases than transcription factors bound HSP90. CDC37 interacted with kinases, but not with transcription factors or E3 ligases. HSP90::kinase interactions varied continuously over a 100-fold range and provided a platform to study client protein recognition. In wild-type clients, HSP90 did not bind particular sequence motifs, but rather associated with intrinsically unstable kinases. Stabilization of the kinase in either its active or inactive conformation with diverse small molecules decreased HSP90 association. Our results establish HSP90 client recognition as a combinatorial process: CDC37 provides recognition of the kinase family, whereas thermodynamic parameters determine client binding within the family.

The chaperone Hsp90: changing partners for demanding clients
Trends in Biochemical Sciences, Volume 38, Issue 5, 1 May 2013, Pages 253-262
Alina Röhl, Julia Rohrberg and Johannes Buchner
AbstractThe heat shock protein (Hsp)90 chaperone machinery regulates the activity of hundreds of client proteins in the eukaryotic cytosol. It undergoes large conformational changes between states that are similar in energy. These transitions are rate-limiting for the ATPase cycle. It has become evident that several of the many Hsp90 co-chaperones affect the conformational equilibrium by stabilizing specific intermediate states. Consequently, there is an ordered progression of different co-chaperones during the conformational cycle. Asymmetric complexes containing two different co-chaperones may be important for the processing of the client protein, although our understanding of this aspect, as well as the details of the interaction of Hsp90 with client proteins, is still in its infancy.

SummaryHeat-shock protein 70 (HSP70) isoforms contribute to tumorigenesis through their well-documented antiapoptotic activity and via their role as cochaperones for the HSP90 molecular chaperone. HSP70 expression is induced following treatment with HSP90 inhibitors, which may attenuate the cell death effects of this class of inhibitor. Here we show that silencing either heat-shock cognate 70 (HSC70) or HSP72 expression in human cancer cell lines has no effect on HSP90 activity or cell proliferation. However, simultaneously reducing the expression of both of these isoforms induces proteasome-dependent degradation of HSP90 client proteins, G1 cell-cycle arrest, and extensive tumor-specific apoptosis. Importantly, simultaneous silencing of HSP70 isoforms in nontumorigenic cell lines does not result in comparable growth arrest or induction of apoptosis, indicating a potential therapeutic window.

Add/View Comments (0)Design Principles of Protein Biosynthesis-Coupled Quality Control

- The protein biosynthetic machinery, composed of ribosomes, chaperones, and localization factors, is increasingly found to interact directly with factors dedicated to protein degradation. The coupling of these two opposing processes facilitates quality control of nascent polypeptides at each stage of their maturation. Sequential checkpoints maximize the overall fidelity of protein maturation, minimize the exposure of defective products to the bulk cellular environment, and protect organisms from protein misfolding diseases.

At 10 o'clock at night in Spain, photographer Cristian Borillo, half of the creative duo Hunter & Gatti, sat down to talk with JustLuxe about their work in the fashion industry. For a man that's had such a long and successful career he's surprisingly modest, and more passionate about photography as an art form than the list of famous clientele he's shot, or the designer labels he's worked with.
Dior's holiday cosmetic campaign brings back Russian supermodel Daria Strokous from their Fall/Winter 2013 line, to be the face of the Golden Winter Collection. Wearing a sparkling, sheer Dior gown and large ruby earrings, Strokous runs around looking like royalty in the new, limited-edition shades.

In case you just cannot get enough Lagerfeld between the numerous runway shows, photo shoots and Instagram snaps with A-list celebrities, you're in luck. The fashion icon has inspired a Rolex to be designed after him and it's coming out just in time to make your Christmas wish list.
Because there's never enough brooding and scowling in the world of fashion, Chanel has chosen angst-y Kristin Stewart as the face of the new Pre-Fall 2014 collection. The collection which premiered last night in Dallas was a star-studded affair, with a larger-than-life Western theme that could only be pulled off in Texas.
Plus-sized women's fashion is making small strides, but today it just took a big leap. International retail giant Mango will be launching their new spinoff label Violeta, which will be solely dedicated to women's larger sizes.
Admit it. With all the sparkle, glitter and color of the season, doesn't it make you want to get a little decked out? Aren't you already shopping around for a perfect NYE outfit that has a little glitz and glam?
Mobility in the industry seems to work in a very specific way—most run for the limelight, but Jillian Dempsey is content being the artistic muse. A popular makeup artist who works on A-list celebrities like Jennifer Lawrence and Kate Winslet, Dempsey has recently premiered her own line of fine jewelry.
Since we're in the midst of the biggest shopping (for others) season, it's almost a little hard to grab something for yourself. Don't you feel just a tiny bit guilty grabbing a pair of sparkly heels when you know you have yet to purchase gifts for your great Uncle Billy and half your friends? It can't be just us. But think about it—you're running around with all those shopping bags and the kids—wouldn't a small hands-free, crossbody bag make sense? And if it happens to be stylish and perfect all year long—totally justifiable. The two-tone First Class Mini Square by RoviMoss is compact, but holds literally everything. With two main sections you can fit your phone, wallet, camera, lipstick and Christmas shopping list. There's a wide selection of colors, both simple and metallic for the holidays. It's made of sturdy leather, but it's lightweight and wont weight you down—which is more than we can say for those shopping bags.
Day 6: Burberry Scarves - What better way to start off the week than with a little plaid perfection? Admit it, you've had your eye on a Burberry scarf for some time now, and if you happen to already own one, you're likely looking to add a second to your fall fashion wardrobe.
It's safe to assume that if you want one, everyone else on your holiday shopping list, probably wants one, too. With prices below retail, why not make two people happy this holiday season?
One for them...check. One for you...check.
$165 - $225
Skincare with a blend of gold, natural ingredients and luxurious gemstones seem to be one of the trendiest things in beauty—but are all those precious stones and metals really making any difference in your complexion?

And remember, there's no shame in treating yourself to a little holiday cheer – especially when you're not paying retail – so why not go a little logo luxe this holiday season?
$295 - $1,095
Since we covered the engagement of Kanye West and Kim Kardashian (who herein after will be referred to as Kimye) it feels like the whole world is grasping at straws, hoping for any tidbit of info about the star-studded nuptials.
Tomorrow's January/February 2014 release of Playboy is highly anticipated not only because it's the 60th anniversary edition of the magazine, or for those fascinating articles (yes, that's why you read it), but because our favorite supermodel Kate Moss is about to bare it all—and then some.
There's a lot of talk in the fashion world about the "It Girl," that girl that seems to always be pulled together and have the latest and greatest. Yet this girl is always a very serious representation of fashion.
We're here counting down the days until we get turkey, presents and a little of that holiday mistletoe. But while Christmas is well over 12 days away we figured it would be best to get a head start (aren't we responsible!) and breakdown our favorite fashion gifts for this yuletide season. Besides who would want to be running around looking for a partridge in a pear tree on Christmas Eve? Not us. Not again, anyway. So to make your holidays merry and bright we've created our gift guide for you to order from, return and order from again, all with plenty of time to wrap that sucker up and stuff it under the tree. And don't forget the two for you, one for me rule while Christmas shopping, because you can't expect Santa to know everything you want in your stocking.
Click here to start the countdown...
Day 12: Hermès Bangles - Kick off the 12 days of gifting in style with a statement piece that's as vibrant and chic as each woman on your holiday shopping list – including yourself, of course. The RealReal's collection of Hermès bangles includes both narrow and wide styles ranging from multicolored animal motifs to silver-and-gold tone classics.
Seriously, what woman wouldn't want to unwrap a Hermès box this holiday season?
$395 - $745
While elemental and artistic forms can inspire many designers, Stephanie Baechler has taken her interest in ceramics and fashion more literally than others. Her new Lodonite collection is not only influenced by rocks and gems, but uses an actual mineral glaze to achieve the same effect for her collection that is found in nature.
I-D Magazine has been showcasing fashion for over 33 years and to celebrate the relaunch of the accompanying digital edition, the magazine has pulled together a wealth of talent for a short promo video. Featuring modern day supermodels and titles from past issues, the video gives little vignettes of model moments.
Anyone who's seen a movie with Diane Kruger knows the woman is absolutely gorgeous. But not in the Hollywood façade type of way—it's much more of an ethereal beauty that only the select few seem to possess—unless of course her new Chanel skincare ads are to be believed.
Some of biggest names in fashion continue to be inspired by the speakers at TED. Isaac Mizrahi recently curated his favorite six TED talks that cover everything from environmental engineering to puppetry.
If you haven't seen "It" girl Alexa Chung rocking her iconic style basically everywhere, you're officially living under a rock. From her messy waves to her casual street style the girl absolutely oozes fashion, so it's not too surprising she landed a gig as the face of Longchamp.
During the holiday season it's almost inevitable that there will be designers working on some type of special edition item—beauty collaborations, Christmas scarves, cookware—if you can imagine it, it's likely been done.
Finding the best in luxury can be a daunting task, which is why we've taken it on for you.

History of Beth Israel Congregation
The first Jewish organization in the city was founded in 1860, when local Jewish merchants bought land for a future Jewish cemetery on North State Street. The following year, fifteen families formally organized the Beth Israel congregation. Meeting in a one-story schoolhouse on South State Street, the group started the first Jewish day school in Mississippi at a time when state public schools were nonexistent. Beginning as a traditional orthodox group in need of a teacher, chazen, and shochet for kosher meat, the congregation had joined the Reform movement by 1875, when a new brick building replaced the wooden structure that burned to the ground in the previous year. Beth Israel remained on South State Street until they moved to Woodrow Wilson Drive in the 1940s to be closer to its congregants. Twenty years later, the congregation followed its members once again, moving to a new home on Old Canton Road in northeast Jackson. Unlike many other cities, there was never more than one congregation in Jackson.
At one time, Capitol Street was home to sixteen Jewish businesses; none exist today and only three of the buildings remain. Harry Herman, for example, owned a men's store called "The Hub"; today, its site is now Jackson's Federal Building. As for the United States Bankruptcy Court building, that spot once housed a dry goods store called Millstein's. Jews were an important part of Jackson's merchant class. People such as Benjamin Hart, John Hart, Lazarus Kahn, Isadore Strauss, Henry Strauss, Aaron Lehman, and H. Goodman were some of the early Jewish settlers of central Mississippi.
Most of these businesses were clustered in downtown Jackson. The Horowitz family owned Mangel's and the Gordons owned a store named Vogue, which was located near Lefkowitz Jewelry and a farm supply store owned by the Ascher family. Joseph Ascher served on the Jackson school board. In the 1920s, Jackson's leading department store was "The Emporium," located on the northeast corner streets of Congress and Capitol, owned by Simon Seelig Marks. Marks, married to Josephine Hyams of Jackson, was a member of the Kiwanis Club as well as director of the Mississippi Merchants Association and vice president of Jackson's Chamber of Commerce. During the Great Depression, Marks was also the state director for the National Emergency Council. The Emporium itself sold any item one could imagine including victory war bonds during World War II. Although long since closed, restoration of the building occurred in 1988, as it was listed on the National Register of Historic Places. In 1889, Moise Cohen came to Jackson from Romania at the tender age of fifteen to join his brother, Sam, in the clothing business. For almost a century, the Cohen Brothers clothing store served customers on Capitol Street.
Jews were also involved themselves in the apparel cleaning business. In 1924, Gardner and Kahn Cleaning Company opened in the Jackson area. Later, his wife took over Kahn Cleaning Company, which was located on Capital and S. Gallatin Streets until its closure in the 1980s. Near the turn of the century, Isidore Lehman began his career in Jackson as a shirt washer in a cart for a Memphis laundry company. His hard work and determination led him to eventually become partner and owner of Jackson Steam Laundry. Located on 730 State Street, Jackson Steam Laundry was known for the slogan, "When clothes are dirty, 730." Lehman's store not only cleaned clothes, but it also served as a bathhouse for people without running water. Lehman was very involved in Jackson's civic affairs. He was president of many organizations including the Jackson and Mississippi Chamber of Commerce as well as Beth Israel synagogue, Hinds County Red Cross, and the local school board. His store stayed open until the 1960s and was demolished later in the 1970s. Other Jewish businesses existed in Jackson's early years as well including Jake Ehrman's meat market from 1890 to 1920 and August Hatry's Jackson Transfer Company.
Jackson Jews were also very involved in real estate as many Jews saw an opportunity after the Civil War to buy cheap land. John Hart was one of these gentlemen. After serving in Company A of the 6th Mississippi Brigade in the Civil War, Hart, formerly Hertz, used land to increase his wealth so that he could start J & B Hart Company in 1866. In the 1850s, he had been a poor immigrant making $10 a month in a butcher shop. Joseph Ascher was also successful at real estate. Born in Alsace in 1855, he came to Jackson to live with his Hart relatives in order to find a better way of life. Beginning as a simple peddler, he ended up concluding his life as a real estate tycoon. Isadore Dreyfus used land not only to make a fortune off his tenants but also to supplement his income from his successful insurance business. Jews enjoyed tremendous economic success in Jackson. Familes such as Strauss, Norman, Beck, Feibleman, Kahn, Bloom, Wolf, Lehman, Hatry, and Devy lived in the beautiful houses along State Street.
While the Jews of Jackson were quite successful, many found other ways to give back to the community. During the Great Depression, the Lehman family would serve breakfast to many hungry children who were walking to the school right across from the Lehman's home. Their relatives, Aaron and Celestine Lehman, started a home for elderly women in Jackson, while Aaron was a faithful school board member. Isidore Lehman's daughter Celeste was committed to preserving Jewish life in the Deep South. Celeste Lehman Orkin helped found the youth movement for Jewish children in the area in the 1950s. She was also the guiding force in the creation of the Henry S. Jacobs Camp in nearby Utica, Mississippi. In recent years, Josh Wiener and Jonathan Larkin have served on the Jackson School Board, expressing their commitment to public education at a time when most whites in the city have left for private schools. Macy Hart was one of the founders of Parents for Public Schools.
As businesspeople and civic leaders, the Jews of Jackson contributed much to their city. Most of them worked to assimilate into Southern culture, dropping the dietary laws and strict Shabbat observance. Jews were successful at becoming an accepted part of Jackson society. Newspapers marked many announcements of Jewish successes. Christian ministers and local and state political leaders took part in building dedications and other celebrations. Jewish residents were allowed into many clubs including the Masons and the Odd Fellows even though some Jews complained about never being accepted into high Jackson society.
The most glaring incident of anti-Semitism occurred during the turbulent civil rights era. Rabbi Perry Nussbaum came to Jackson and began to speak out in favor of civil rights. Some local Jewish merchants agreed with the rabbi, yet they were too afraid to speak out publicly because of threats of retribution. Nussbaum was deeply involved in interfaith work, and was active in the Mississippi Religious Leadership Conference and the Jackson Clergy Alliance. Nussbaum was also a member of the Committee for Concern, which helped African-American churches to rebuild after they had been attacked or burned. Nussbaum drove to Parchman State Prison in the Delta each week during the summer of 1961 to visit and lend moral support to the Jewish Freedom Riders from the North. On the night of September 18th, 1967, a group of Ku Klux Klan members planted a bomb which destroyed much of the Rabbi's office and part of the library. Although no one was hurt, this would not be the end. Two months later, the same Klan members bombed Nussbaum's home while the rabbi was home with his wife. Miraculously, no one was hurt. In response to the events, 42 clergymen and sympathetic citizens joined in a "walk of penance" to Temple Beth Israel, where they held a Thursday night vigil, which attracted a crowd of 150 people, most of whom were not Jewish. Later, the same Klan group bombed the temple in Meridian, Mississippi. When they later tried to bomb the home of a Jewish leader in Meridian, they were captured by the police.
Local newspapers and state officials denounced the attacks and expressed support for Beth Israel. In some ways, the attacks were a turning point as many white Jacksonians finally realized that the violence of massive resistance had gone too far, and it was time to change. Jackson Jews have been in the forefront of that change. In 1968, a full page ad ran in Jackson's daily newspaper calling for healing the racial tensions in the city and the state. It declared that all citizens regardless of race should receive equal treatment under the law and that there was no place for hatred or violence in Jackson. The ad was signed by numerous civic and business leaders of the city, including most of the city's Jewish merchants.
Despite the violence unleashed during the civil rights era, Jews have found a comfortable home in Jackson. While many other southern Jewish communities have experienced decline, Jackson's Jewish population has held steady and even grown. In 1937, 235 Jews lived in Jackson. Today, there are over 600 Jews in the city. While most young Jews do not return to Jackson after college, new families continue to move to Mississippi's capitol, which is currently home to the largest Jewish community in the state. From their early days as merchants to today's doctors and lawyers, the Jewish community has flourished in this part of the Deep South.

LS12HBd Earns TOP PICK from Sound and Vision at CEDIA 2013
Monday, September 30, 2013
Wisdom Audio selected Runco's new LightStyle LS-12HBd for their CEDIA Theater and the final result garnered Sound & Vision's "Top Pick". The screen was 21 feet wide and the new LS-12HBd delivered an image was bright and beautiful. The content ranged from video clips including animation (Pixar's WALL-E) to live action to concert footage (Peter Gabriel concert), in multiple aspect ratios including CinemaScope 2.35:1, and product presentations.
"Runco once again proved to be phenomenal partner for us at CEDIA Expo," stated Todd Sutherland, VP Marketing of Wisdom Audio. "We demonstrated a reference-level system in a very large room at Expo, using a 250-inch wide 2:40 Seymour Screen Excellence 4K screen, and Runco's new LS-12HBd was beyond impressive in its ability to handle this huge screen, and with an absolutely gorgeous image. The combination of superb audio and video performance accomplished what we all wanted as partners in this demonstration; attendees were swept away in an incredibly compelling experience, wanting more of each demo clip. Countless dealers, reps, manufacturers and international distributors commented to us that they fully expected the new LS-12HBd to be really good, but were frankly blown away with the job that it did on this huge screen."
Another CEDIA has come and gone and Runco didn't fail to wow audiences once again!

Aliens. Do they exist? I have seen many times the light fly across the sky. It may not be a shooting star. I will personally confess I've never seen an alien. Have you? The universe is far too large for us to be the only smart creatures. I remember that a Russian space thingy had gone to the side of mars and then went black. Was there something that it wasn't supposed to see? I ask you now, what do you believe?

Here's the latest one.
Do Aliens Exist?

I'm willing to let this thread continue the legacy. The original was basically a question then a solicitation to join a clan, while this one actually ponders the existence and, you know, asks what your opinion is. This OP is much better.
We have all the reason to believe that other species aside from us exist, since we have proven the necessary steps to show how life *can* start from once was simple chemical reactions. We might not have concrete proof that they are actually out there, but we do have the reasons to believe that they can exist, once the proper steps in the process have taken place.
So that's just proto-primitive life. If you want intelligent life, we have to accept that that other planet has been around long enough for said life to evolve to specialize in intelligence. This would take billions of years to naturally get to that point, then another tens of thousands to build the ladder of technology that they discovered/invented. This is if they have both survived nature and themselves.

I'd like to answer this with my favourite quote on the subject:
"Life is not a miracle unique to our earth but a chemical inevitability that is also occuring elsewhere in the universe. " - Hiroshi Yanagawa
However, I do not think there are any intelligent beings out there, and certainly no aliens in our immediate vicinity. I think all those reports on flying saucers and alien autopsy etc. are superstitious bull****. It doesn't make sense for allegedly so intelligent beings that can build all that fabulous stuff to be so stupid as to make corn circles we don't understand and randomly fly around the sky. The moment we will meet real aliens, if that ever happens, we will be certain of it. Except if they are bacterias on a possibly contaminated probe of our roboter, which is much more likely to happen :P

That is most likely true. But there could be some intelligent beings.
It doesn't make sense for allegedly so intelligent beings that can build all that fabulous stuff to be so stupid as to make corn circles we don't understand and randomly fly around the sky.
Think about it this way. Are some other cultures "strange"? Do we not understand their practices? Their practices may be as weird as their origins.

You're probably right.
But even if there were, even if life emerged in the closest star system, I doubt we'd come into contact with them any time soon, if at all.
You have to take into account the mind-numbing vastness of space. The Alpha Centauri system--the closest star system to our own--is about 4.37 light-years away from our own (or 4.21 light-years, if you count Proxima Centauri). Travelling at 670,616,629 mph (about 1,079,252,848 kph for non-Americans), or the freakin' speed of light, it would still take over 4 years to reach Alpha Centauri from Earth. Considering that the fastest outward bound spacecraft we've launched (Voyager 1) has only just reached speeds of over 38,000 mph (or just over 61,000 kph, and about 0.00005% the speed of light) and would take more than 70,000 years to reach Alpha Centauri (assuming it was headed in the direction of Alpha Centauri, which it's not), we've a long way to go before even thinking about visiting another star-system.
So why would some extra-terrestrial intelligence spend all that time getting to Earth just to make a crop circle, or anally probe some unfortunate human? In fact, why would they come to Earth at all, which is already so far out of the way?

Well Earth life is based upon carbon base forms. Maybe other planets' living species are based upon silicon or something like that to where it could breath something else rather than oxygen. There is a SLIGHT possibility that there are sea creatures that life on neptune's moon of europa which has an ocean under a lot of ice. That is not that far away, if we could get through all of that ice...

There may be billions of other planets, and billions of other galaxies out there. For us to think that Earth is the only planet that can support life, has life thriving on it, and provides what it does is simply NOT scientific.
I'm not saying they're aliens, but I believe there is a planet somewhere out there just like ours, and it's people are just like our people.

Not may, are. The only question is whether there's life on any of them.
and it's people are just like our people.
That would be extremely unlikely I think. Different paths for evolution, different environments, different everything would make it far more probable that any life out there isn't going to be similar to that on Earth.

Europa is one of Jupiter's moons, not Neptune's.

Someone once said to me, "I know the woman in a relationship always gets the bad rap for spending all the money, but in my house it's different. My husband can't help buying any new (and of course ridiculously expensive) gadget he finds. What do I do?"
I know women take all the heat in this area, and it irks me as well. Some new research shows that men are just as prone to overshop as women are. When women spend too much money, they have a "problem." When men do it, we call them "collectors." In other words, men get better spin. The first thing you need to do is figure out whether your husband has a problem. Is he a compulsive spender, as about 2 to 5 percent of the population is thought to be? Or does he simply spend too much from time to time? Compulsive shoppers are a lot like alcoholics. They get excited in anticipation of their next purchase. They get a little high when they're making it. And they feel a huge letdown when it's over. Compulsive shoppers also put their own or their family's future at risk by racking up bills they often cannot pay. If your spouse is a compulsive shopper, he needs professional help. If he's simply overshopping, he needs your help. Offer to be his shopping buddy, which may help curtail his urge to splurge. And help him figure out ways to avoid falling into that new-tech trap by getting off the e-mail or mailing lists that are tempting him or by finding a new hobby to occupy his free time. Now, if you think your husband's spending is to blame for the state of your finances, but you're not sure, it's time you started on Oprah's Debt Diet. Published on July 15, 2003

Dear Mr. President: Please abuse your powers
Unfortunately, it takes abuses before we wake up to dangers of untrammeled executive authority
Topics: Barack Obama, Janet Napolitano, National security, Homeland Security, Entertainment News
Last week, Secretary of Homeland Security Janet Napolitano declared the need for "legal tools to do things like monitor the recruitment of terrorists via the Internet." She wasn't specific about what she meant by that, but her remarks were widely understood, no doubt correctly, as a harbinger of yet another Obama administration encroachment on American civil liberties. (The most surprising part of Napolitano's pitch, in fact, was the word "legal" — after all, the administration hasn't bothered with such niceties in any number of other situations, as Salon colleague Glenn Greenwald has repeatedly pointed out.)
Yesterday, the Supreme Court upheld a law that can put you in jail for the "crime" of advocating lawful, nonviolent activity, if the government decides that your advocacy is somehow helping a group the government declares is engaging in terrorism. Authoritarian right wingers reading this may be pleased to hear that Jimmy Carter could be a criminal under this ruling. They should also be thrilled to know that the Obama administration fought hard for this ruling, and that Supreme Court nominee Elena Kagan, as solicitor general, argued for this gross encroachment on free speech and the First Amendment.
Again and again, this administration has endorsed and expanded on the Bush administration's consistent stance that the Bill of Rights, apart from the Second Amendment, must take a distant second place to the "war on terror" that by definition can never end. Politicians and pundits who once claimed to believe in civil liberties are in hiding. It speaks volumes about our media today that Jon Stewart is one of the few commentators to speak truth to power on these issues.
So the more I watch Obama channel and extend Bush administration claims of essentially unlimited presidential power, the more I conclude that we have essentially one hope at this point — and it rests, in part, on an awakening among conservatives who are today so enamored of authoritarian rule.

Postpone your next round of derm office injectionsjust a few well-placed dabs of shimmer will plump your pout. "A little highlighter on the Cupid's bow makes lips bigger and more sensuous and creates a sort of juiciness," says makeup artist Gucci Westman, Revlon's global artistic director. Westman suggests using a long-lasting pearlescent eye pencil (try Make Up For Ever Professional Aqua Eyes in Silver) along the upper lip line before applying your favorite neutral lipstick. But for the full glow shown here, don't stop with the mouth. Use your finger to blend creamy luminizer (like Revlon's Beyond Natural Concealer & Highlighter) straight down the bridge of the nose, on the chin, and above the cheekbones. Finish with a dusting of translucent powder to keep the shine in line.

This Is A Developing Story

By Dr. Greg Sperber
My research about applying evidence-based medical levels to drug-herb interactions has led me to the conclusion that there aren't very many interactions that are above the lowest level of evidence. In fact, out of approximately1,000 drug-herb interactions, I only found 56 that were above "D" level (the lowest level) evidence. A little over a third of these involved Ma Huang (herba ephedra). Only two were "A" level, 18 were "B" level, and the rest were "C" level. Obviously, these numbers are not static and there is always new research, but these at least give us a good feel for what may be an important drug-herb interaction.
As may be inferred from the previous paragraph, there are many levels of evidence according to the Oxford Centre for Evidence-based Medicine (Phillips, et al., 2001). First, each individual research paper is given a level from 1 to 5. Then as an aggregate, based on these individual papers, an overall evidence level is given to the interaction from a grade of "A," the highest level, to "D," the lowest level. The other issue is that just because an interaction exists does not mean it is particularly bad. Some interactions enhance the effects of the constituents.
This article will look at four herbs that may cause interactions according to these evidence levels. This does not mean these are the only drug herb interactions or even the worst interactions. It simply means these are the interactions with the most evidence. There are many potential interactions that have not been investigated and may or may not be more serious than what appears here.
Ma Huang (Ephedra) has been shown in numerous studies to cause interactions and harmful effects. This led to this herb being banned by the Food and Drug Administration in any prepared form. While this was probably an overreaction to political pressure, there are some well established dangers in the literature. Ephedrine, a chief component of ma huang, increases the incidence of side effects, such as agitation, tremors, insomnia, blood pressure, heart rate, and in higher doses, plasma glucose, insulin, and C-peptide when combined with caffeine (Astrup, et al., 1991, level 2c evidence). Another study confirmed these effects, but noted the transient nature of the side effects (Astrup & Toubro 1993, level 2c evidence). A well constructed, randomly controlled trial showed that these negative effects were transient and equaled placebo levels after eight weeks (Astrup, Breum, Toubro, Hein, Quaade, 1992, level 1b evidence). So while these interactions are fairly well established, they seem to be for only for a short while.
When combined with methylxanthines, such as theophylline or caffeine, ephedra may increase thermogenesis, an increase in the body's ability to generate heat, and weight loss. This may be considered a positive interaction except in patients who may not tolerate the increase in the sympathetic system. These patients include those with cardiovascular conditions. This interaction has been shown in many mice (Dulloo & Miller, 1986a, level 5 evidence), and human studies (Dulloo & Miller, 1986b, level 2b evidence), (Malchow- Moller, Larsen, Hey, Stokholm, Juhl, Quaade, 1981, level 2b evidence), (Boozer, Daly, Homel, Solomon, Blanchard, Nasser, et. al. 2002, level 1b evidence), (Greenway, de Jonge, Blanchard, Frisard, Smith, 2004, level 2b evidence), (Astrup, Breum, Toubro, Hein, Quaade, 1992, level 1b evidence). Theophylline was one of the first drugs to treat asthma. It has largely been replaced by safer agents, but is still rarely used when other agents are not tolerated.
Monoamine oxidase inhibitors (MAOIs) are primarily antidepressants but some are used in treating symptoms of Parkinson's disease. They include isocarboxazid, phenelzine, rasagiline, selegiline and tranylcypromine. Based on the ephedrine content, ma huang may cause hypertension when combined with MAOIs according to an expert opinion (Blumenthal, 1998, level 5 evidence). One case report described a patient who stopped a MAOI, phenelzine, and ingested a combination pill of ephedrine, caffeine, and theophylline 24 hours later. She developed encephalopathy, a problem with the brain, neuromuscular irritability, tachycardia, a rapid heart rate, hypotension, rhabdomyolysis (a life threatening condition of muscle breakdown), and hyperthermia, a raised body temperature (Dawson, Earnshaw, Graham, 1995, level 4 evidence). Other possible effects include arrhythmias, an irregular heart beat, chest pain, hyperpyrexia (fever), and death (Gruenwald, Brendler, & Jaenicke, 2004, p. 535). One human study showed an increase in cardiovascular symptoms (Dingemanse, 1993, level 2c evidence). Ma huang should be avoided for at least 2 weeks after stopping MAOIs (Brinker, 2001, p. 89).
Because of ephedra's potential for raising blood pressure, it, theoretically, should not be combined with agents that lower blood pressure (Mills & Bone, 2000). Ephedrine and pseudoephedrine toxicity may result from combining this herb with antacids (Brater, et. al., 1980). Dang Gui (Angelica Sinensis). It has been suggested that gan cao may have phytoestrogen content (Miller, 1998, level 5 evidence), however, the jury is still out on whether dang gui has estrogenic activity. One rat study (Circosta, De Pasquale, Palumbo, Samperi, Occhiuto, 2006, level 5 evidence) showed significant estrogen changes. While in vitro (in humans) research showed little or no estrogen activity (Zava, Dollbaum, Blen, 1998, level 5 evidence). Finally, a double blinded randomly controlled trial showed no estrogen-like effects in postmenopausal women (Hirata, Small, Swiersz, Ettinger, Zell, 1997, level 1b evidence). While there is some controversy, the preponderance of evidence suggests that there is no estrogen-like activity, at least in postmenopausal women. The evidence is still out on whether it may have these effects in other patients.
Dang Gui has been shown in a small human study to potentiate warfarin and caution should be used in combining these two (Page& Lawrence, 1999). Gan Cao (Licorice) and oral contraceptive pills may increase blood pressure and fluid retention as shown in two case studies (de Klerk, Nieuwenhuis, Beutler, 1997, level 4 evidence), and an uncontrolled human study (Bernardi, D'Intino, Trevisani, Cantelli-Forti, Raggi, Turchetto, et al., 1994, level 2c evidence).
Gan cao has quite a reputation in the medical literature for increasing blood pressure. However, this is based on its western herbal use as a single herb, and these effects may be mitigated by Chinese medicine's use of formulas. Because of this tendency, gan cao should not be combined with drugs that reduce blood pressure (Gruenwald, Brendler, & Jaenicke, 2004, p. 514). It may also cause potassium loss when combined with diuretics.
Guan Ye Lian Qiao (St. John's wort) affects a liver enzyme, cytochrome P450, which has led to being implicated in numerous drug herb interactions. It was found to decrease the effectiveness of indinavir in a small human study (Piscitelli, Burstein, Chaitt, Alfaro, Falloon, 2000, level 2c evidence). Indinavir is an antiretroviral agent used in treating the human immunovirus (HIV) and acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS). Any reduction in its effectiveness could allow advancement of the disease and can be life threatening.
B- level evidence showed a significant interference between Guan Ye Lian Qiao and digoxin (Johne, Brockmöller, Bauer, Maurer, Langheinrich, Roots, 1999). Guan Ye Lian Qiao is also considered to act like selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors, anti depressants, and should not be combined with any type of antidepressants.
While these are not the only herbs that should be carefully administered with drugs, they are among the most researched and accepted. Of course, combining drugs with these herbs can be dangerous, only a very few case studies have shown them to be. In other words, be cautious, but not paranoid. Use a step-by-step approach to combining drugs with these herbs and there is little to fear.

Part of Vegas Highs, Vegas Lows
Date + Time
Saturday, December 27, 2008
1:00 p.m.
Phyllis Wattis Theater
Caveh Zahedi, 1994, 70 min.
I Don't Hate Las Vegas Anymore is a real-life documentary comedy about a filmmaker, Zahedi, who takes a road trip to Las Vegas with his father and half-brother in an attempt to prove the existence of God. He posits that if God exists then all he has to do is roll the camera and let God direct the movie. But it isn't going in the direction he would like, so he attempts to force God's hand by trying to persuade his father, half-brother and a heart-sick sound recordist to take Ecstasy with him. Either hilarious, indulgent or most likely both, Zahedi's film won the prestigious Critics' Prize at the Rotterdam International Film Festival.
Admission + Ticketing
$5 general; free for SFMOMA members or with museum admission (requires a free ticket, which can be picked up in the Haas Atrium). Double features: films offered on the same date are included in one ticket. Tickets are available at the museum (with no surcharge) or online.
