Animal testing: man's reliance on rodents knows no bounds
Alexander Fleming usually gets the credit for developing penicillin, but he shouldn't. True, he noticed that the fungus Penicillin rubens exuded a substance that killed bacteria, which he named penicillin; but it wasn't until 1939 that anyone made any serious effort to turn it into a medicine.
The men who did, Howard Florey and Ernst Chain, began by testing their drug. They didn't know whether it would work inside a body, or whether large doses would be poisonous. So they couldn't just try it on humans. Besides, they didn't have very much, and person-sized doses would have taken up too much of their stash.
So they tried it, first, on mice. It worked: the infections were stopped. They were able to try it on humans, and it worked there, too. Soon it was saving thousands of lives in Allied field hospitals, and its later descendants have since saved millions.
The story of penicillin is a reminder – as if one were needed – of the importance of the humble lab rat, or lab mouse, in driving forward our knowledge. It's not just drug testing: all sorts of research relies on rodents. Partly, it's because you can subject them to things that wouldn't be allowed in humans: for example, Allan Rechtschaffen, the great sleep-research pioneer, found that rats would die of malnutrition if deprived of sleep for more than two weeks.
But mice and rats also have huge advantages as test subjects. You can study how parents' lifestyles affect their children's health in just a few years, rather than waiting for decades; you can see the effects of old age without growing old yourself. Their small size means doses are smaller, so your expensive new drug can go further. And their metabolisms are so much faster that it all works more quickly: diseases spread more rapidly, drugs take less time to work. That's why rats and mice make up about 80 per cent of the four million or so animals that undergo testing in the UK every year.
It's alarming, therefore, to read that recent research at McGill University in Montreal has thrown some of what we believe into confusion. The study found that the sex of a researcher can affect the results of their test. The pheromones in human male sweat cause mice as much stress as if they'd been forced to swim for three minutes, and stressed rats are less susceptible to pain.
While the results need to be repeated to confirm the findings, it's possible that many previous findings have been affected by this, without anyone knowing. Since quite a lot of research is carried out by sweaty males, this has the potential to be a problem: studies on painkillers might be compromised if some mice had male handlers and some female. Attempts to repeat the research might fail if the team doing the follow-up was mainly made up of men and the first team mainly women.
Opponents of animal testing will argue that we may, therefore, have inflicted a lot of cruelty for nothing. Certainly, some of the things we do to mice and rats aren't exactly nice – although some are the exact opposite. David J Linden, in his book Pleasure, recounts a study in which rats were hooked up to a "Skinner box", named after the behaviourist BF Skinner, which allowed them to stimulate a pleasure centre in their brain by pressing a button. The rats would end up pressing the button as often as 2,000 times an hour, for 24 hours at a time: "They had to be unhooked from the apparatus to prevent death by self-starvation."
There's a mantra that must be repeated in pieces like this, about how it is a tragedy that animals are used at all in science, and that every effort must be made to "reduce, replace and refine": reduce the number of animals used, replace them where possible with alternatives, and refine the experimental techniques to get the most out of each animal used. And of course that's true. No one wants mice, or anything else, to suffer needlessly: the use of animal subjects in testing cosmetics, now banned in the EU, was ugly and unpleasant.
But if you assume, as I do, that animal lives, while valuable, are worth less than humans, then animal research is a price worth paying for progress. While these studies may sound cruel, they build a base of knowledge about the mammalian brain and body, which allows us to better understand – and therefore treat – human conditions. Without mice and rats, modern medicine would be in a terrible state.
The good news is that the problem uncovered by the McGill researchers can probably be avoided in future, with a few simple procedural steps. But their study serves a reminder of how grateful we should be to mice. They've spent decades running through mazes and pressing buttons and avoiding electric shocks, all so that patients can have more effective drugs and scientists can gain a better understanding of human biology. Even a few sweaty armpits can't ruin that record.

Nobel Peace Prize 2013 received by OPCW Director-General: "Working Together for a World Free of Chemical Weapons, and Beyond"
Ahmet Üzümcü commends practical, verifiable results of chemical disarmament. Says that partnerships with science, industry and civil society are key. Urges states outside the Chemical Weapons Convention to join. Announces that Prize money will be used to fund annual OPCW awards.
Director-General Ahmet Üzümcü this afternoon accepted the 2013 Nobel Peace Prize on behalf of the Organisation for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW).
"This is the first time that the Peace Prize has been awarded to an organisation that is actively engaged in disarmament as a practical and ongoing reality," Ambassador Üzümcü said in his acceptance speech [PDF - 47 KB]. "For sixteen years now, the OPCW has been overseeing the elimination of an entire category of weapons of mass destruction. Our task is to consign chemical weapons to history forever."
Ambassador Üzümcü said that, with 190 States now party to the Chemical Weapons Convention (CWC), "we are hastening the vision of a world free of chemical weapons to reality." Recalling that chemical weapons had been used with "brutal regularity" "from Ieper in Belgium to Sardasht in Iran, from Halabja in Iraq to Ghouta in Syria," he also paid homage to all victims.
The Director-General commended the "singular achievement" represented by conclusion of the CWC and the creation of the OPCW as its "arbiter and guardian." "For the first time in the history of multilateral diplomacy, we were able to show that consensus-based decision-making can yield practical, effective and, above all, verifiable results in disarmament."
The Director-General said that the OPCW had been "able to cross, and link, the wide space in disarmament between passion and practicality, between sentiment and action, between noble ambition and concrete achievements."
Ambassador Üzümcü said that the "hard-won success" of the CWC made the recent chemical attacks in Syria all the more tragic, since "no Member State has experienced an attack with chemical weapons." Referring to the OPCW-UN Joint Mission in Syria, he acknowledged the unprecedented challenge of overseeing the "destruction of such a major chemical weapons stockpile in the midst of a civil war, and in such compressed timeframes." He also commended the "dedication and personal courage" of staff members.
The Director-General called on those six countries still outside the CWC to join it "without delay or conditions." "Universal adherence to the Convention would be the most enduring investment in its integrity – and the best guarantee of its reach. We cannot allow the tragedy that befell the people of Ghouta to be repeated."
Ambassador Üzümcü described as "key" the OPCW's "active partnerships" with science and industry, given that "materials and technologies [used for chemical weapons] also have beneficial commercial and industrial applications." They have been critical for drawing the line "between what helps us, and what harms us" and opening "a new sort of dialogue that makes the impact of scientific discoveries better understood." "Our aim is to contribute to efforts towards fostering a culture of responsible science."
The Director-General noted that the OPCW was striving to create "a two-tiered structure for supporting advances in chemistry: one that accommodates a collective early-warning system for scientific discoveries that could be misused, and a global repository for knowledge, expertise and technologies that should benefit all nations."
He said that "new habits of dialogue and cooperation between scientists and policy-makers, between industry and academia, and between civil society and government officials" had emerged. In support of these, he announced that "the prize money awarded by the Nobel Committee will be used to fund annual OPCW awards. These awards will recognise outstanding contributions to advancing the goals of the Convention."
Ambassador Üzümcü said the OPCW would remain "an organisation that anticipates future challenges, and an organisation that adapts its resources and expertise to be able to respond to them." This would include harnessing social media for the OPCW's monitoring, verification and investigation activities, as well as for awareness-raising "to instil the highest ethical standards in our future scientists and researchers."
The Director-General stressed the importance of a "pragmatic" approach for achieving disarmament goals, as well as "governments having the political courage to take tough decisions for the benefit of the community of nations." Referring to the Convention, he described the OPCW as "the force for making its goals a reality."
Looking beyond chemical disarmament, the Director-General said "the Chemical Weapons Convention has given us a legacy that no future disarmament effort can afford to ignore." He cited verification, broad stakeholder engagement, trust-based consensus and a commitment to science in the service of peace and security as the main elements of this legacy.
"It is this legacy that we must set as the keystone in an ever-widening arch of disarmament. Only by building such an arch will we be able to bridge our security and our prosperity."
"Destiny has ruled that we rid the world of chemical weapons, and that we achieve this in our lifetime. This is our place in history, and this is the future we are creating. A future for which our children and grandchildren can be truly thankful."

1940: Best Supporting Actress
Jane Darwell as Ma Joad in The Grapes of Wrath
- Judith Anderson as Mrs. Danvers in Rebecca
- Ruth Hussey as Liz Imbrie in The Philadelphia Story
- Barbara O'Neil as Duchesse de Praslin in All This, and Heaven Too
- Marjorie Rambeau as Mamie Adams in Primrose Path
Darwell began her acting career on the stage and appeared in a few silent films. She signed a contract with 20th Century Fox in 1936. Although director John Ford (AA) wanted Beulah Bondi, another fine character actress who specialized in motherly roles, to play the Joad family matriarch, producer Darryl F. Zanuck insisted Ford use studio player Darwell instead. (Zanuck also threatened to cast Tyrone Power or Don Ameche, both under contract to Fox, as the hero Tom Joad and thus coerced Henry Fonda [AAN], who knew he was born to play the part, to sign a long-term contract with the studio.) Darwell had the last word, however, literally and figuratively. The film closes with her memorable "We'll go on forever, Pa, 'cause we're the people" speech, and she showed Ford that she was more than equal to the part, winning an Oscar for her heartfelt performance.

Law Enforcement United team departs for journey to honor fallen officers (VIDEO)
Written by Laura Stetser Thursday, May 08, 2014 01:08 pm
|< Prev
|Next >
EGG HARBOR TOWNSHIP – With a moment of silence and thoughts of gratitude for the fallen officers they will honor as the participate in the annual bike ride this week, the members of Law Enforcement United-Team New Jersey were sent on their way from the Egg Harbor Township Police Department on Thursday, May 15.
The 14-member team, called Law Enforcement United - Team New Jersey, will drive to Chesapeake, Va., which is the starting point of their bicycle ride into Washington, D.C.
Law Enforcement United consists of federal, state and local law enforcement officers, survivors and civilian support staff whose mission is to raise public awareness of law enforcement officers who have died in the line of duty and provide monetary support for Concerns of Police Survivors and the Officer Down memorial page.
They raise money through sponsorships and fundraisers to fund their participation. The team raised more than $18,000 towards this year's ride and more than $58,500, during the past 3 years, according to Officer Paul Weldon, one of the participants.
"The Road to Hope" will cover 250 miles, over a 3-day period. Riders will leave Chesapeake, Va. on Saturday, May 10 and continue through Virginia's hilly terrain, while crossing through several of its largest cities including Williamsburg, Richmond, Fredricksburg and Alexandria. The ride will conclude Monday, May 12 at the Lincoln Memorial in Washington, D.C.
Members of Law Enforcement United - Team New Jersey are Inspector David Comer of U.S. Postal Inspector's Office, Officer Eric Coombs of the Lower Township Police Department, Detective Rebecca Roth of the Ocean County Department of Corrections, Officers Patrick Daly, Officers David Heritage, Jeffery Lancaster and Paul Weldon, Ret. Detective Anthony Merendino, Sgt. Charles Super, Elaine Super, Ret. Capt. Larry Szapor, all of the Egg Harbor Township Police Department, and Lt. Matthew Hartman, Officer Vaughn Howze and Sgt. Stacey Williams, all of the Pleasantville Police Department.
Rev. David Schumacher of the Zion United Methodist Church was on hand to bless the team's travels as well as the reason behind it. "We pray for all of the family that are missing loved ones that they know there are so many who support them throughout this country," he said.
While in Washington, the team will participate in National Police Week 2014 that begins Sunday, May 11 through Saturday, May 17.
Egg Harbor Township Police Chief Michael Morris thanked the members for sacrificing their personal time to honor the fallen officers. "As a past rider, I know it is a tremendous experience," he said.
Members of Law Enforcement United – Team New Jersey will also be attending the annual candlelight vigil in Washington, D.C .on Tuesday, May 13 at the National Law Enforcement Officer's Memorial. For more information on the National Law Enforcement Officer's Memorial and the candlelight vigil, you can go to www.nleomf.com.

Over thirty people gathered for the annual Teacher Education Program Advisory Meeting on the evening of November 14 at Iowa Wesleyan College. Current students, public school teachers, district administrators, an AEA representative and senator, Rich Taylor discussed educational issues relevant to today's schools, such as the Common Core Curriculum and the Response to Intervention initiative.

Clubhouse Insider Boston Red Sox News
Red Sox won't tender contracts to Atchison, Hill, Sweeney (updated)
With the midnight deadline approaching for teams to offer contracts to players who are eligible for salary arbitration, the Red Sox have informed reliever Scott Atchison that he will be non-tendered, making him a free agent.
"I was a little surprised," Atchison told the Herald, "but also sort of expected it. I understand the situations in the game, and you just learn to deal with it."
The Red Sox also announced that neither lefty reliever Rich Hill nor outfielder Ryan Sweeney will be tendered contracts.
Atchison (Matthew West photo, left) is coming off a career-best season in which he posted a 1.58 ERA and allowed only 42 hits and nine walks in 51-1/3 innings over 42 appearances. But he also turns 37 in March and missed two months with a torn elbow ligament that did not require surgery. Atchison returned to the mound in mid-September and didn't allow a run in 5-1/3 innings over five appearances. He said today that his elbow "feels great" and he's having a normal offseason.
The bullpen is one of the Red Sox' few areas of depth. So, although Atchison made only $510,000 this year and was in line for only a modest raise through arbitration, the club believed it was better served by not offering him a contract. If Atchison doesn't receive a better offer on the open market, he said he's open to returning to the Red Sox on a minor league deal. After all, he settled for a minor league contract last winter and made the team out of spring training after coming to camp as a non-roster invitee.
"Hopefully I have shown enough that I can find a job somewhere," Atchison said, "whether it's Boston or not."
In other news, the Red Sox announced reliever David Carpenter has been claimed off waivers by the Atlanta Braves. Acquired last month from the Blue Jays as part of the compensation package that accompanied manager John Farrell from Toronto, Carpenter had been designated for assignment Nov. 20.

This is the ideal English grammar guide for several competitive examinations like Bank PO, RBI, Railway Recruitment, NDA, CDS, IES, MBA, and Hotel Management exams.
Summary Of Objective General English
The book is categorized into six sections to make the learning process structured and systematic. These are Vocabulary Usage, Error Detection, Comprehension Ability, Rearrangement, Selecting Words/Phrases, and General Usage.
The first section deals with the right usage of one's vocabulary, which is imperative for articulate communication skills as well as proficiency in competitive exams. The chapters covered under this division are Synonyms, Double Synonyms, Antonyms, Homonyms, Word Substitution, and Vocabulary Test.
The second part of the guide is all about the ability to comprehend a given text. The most challenging task while assimilating a passage is to grasp the precise meaning, the correct motif, implicit hints, and the tone of the written matter. This section incorporates four chapters - two on comprehension, one on the techniques required to derive conclusions from a passage, and one chapter on the detection of the theme.
The third segment of the guide is about selecting the right words and phrases. This division encompasses three chapters on sentence and passage completion and choosing the correct filler. The perplexing and typical issues associated with sentence structures are well attended to in these chapters.
Part four, Error Detection, addresses some of the most prevalent mistakes that people are disposed to make. This section helps people identify these errors, rectify them, and subsequently, avoid them. There are chapters on how to spot and avoid common errors, methods to improve sentences, ways to emend passages, and select the correct sentence.
Writing a well constructed paragraph can be daunting for some, as it needs well accommodated sentences. In the course of five chapters, the fifth section takes readers through the concept of rearrangement of sentences. Chapters in this section deal with the reconstruction of individual sentences, rearrangement of already constructed sentences within a paragraph, reconstruction of paragraphs in a passage, and the formation of words.
For those who are proficient with the instructions made in the last five sections and desire to make their language more aesthetic, the final section incorporates chapters related to the use of idioms, common phrases, and teaches the apposite use of active and passive voice, conversion of direct speech into indirect speech, transformation and more.
The book was published in 2011 and has received positive reviews upon its release.

This book will boost confidence in you.
As in my case I was doubtful of a good book and didn't know where to start.
The book proved to be a life saver and with regular practice I improved my skills.
The book covers almost all the competitive syllabus and strengthens one's vocabulary and develops a sense of general English.
First of all the book covers all topics required for cracking Competitive Exams, But one thing which I Found is that the book has only Questions & nothing else. So If You are new to the Competitive Pattern, you may find it tough. But This Books Little Outdated, no recent questions from recent years have been given, all the questions are very old. This is mainly only for practicing & not for learning.
Anyway, As Usual i got book within 4 days :)
i got within two days, but this was not so easy to understand. but it covers all topic for competitive exam. No lengthy explanation is there. it was very hard to understand, there is no tips for finding answers
Good book, My word power increased , but one should refer other book also.. like objective general english of s p bakshi.. This book content is so much old,, publisher should renew it while they are just reprinting it again and again.. !! So guys, get this book for practice.. specially and for depth knowledge of grammar .. get s p bakshi.. , indirect/ direct , acitive passive.. and other chapters are just for practice , once you know.. but you can not learn from it.. , this book just start chapter and then after some example give you question for practice , so you should know then it is use...

Really helped a lot for improving my english and and also helpful preparing for any competitive exam. I suggest my dear friends that if u really wanna improve your english must go through this book.The book is categorized into six sections to make the learning process structured and systematic. These are Vocabulary Usage, Error Detection, Comprehension Ability, Rearrangement, Selecting Words/Phrases, and General Usage.
The book is full of mistakes. The book has mistakes in every chapter whether it may be Word Meanings or Idioms. The Error correction part is the worst. Most of the sentence has blunders. I wonder how such decent publishers publish these type of books. In my opinion, never but this book. Search f... (View complete review)

30 Creative Resume (CV) Designs for Inspiration
Some time ago we have posted an article containing information on how to correctly write a resume. The content of your resume is definitely very important, but you should also care about its looks. Remember that this is the first thing that a potential employer will see about you and a good impression is essential. Moreover if you are a designer, then your resume should definitely be as creative as your portfolio is.
You cannot use your CV just like a tool to store information and showcase it to your future employers from time to time. It's time to think out of the box and get creative, do something that will make people appreciate your creativity and get inspired to create something as well. I have recently discovered some amazing samples of creatively designed resumes, and I was truly amazed. I have decided to go creative as well, after seeing these and hope you will too!

It was a surprise wake up for homeowners in Southeast Austin after a truck crashes into their house.
And officials say weather is to blame.
Slick roads are what officials say caused this collision at the corner of Nuckols Crossing and Bluff Springs this morning.
Police say the driver of this truck was carrying a trailer full of bricks -- but say he may have packed on too much.
The combination of the weight and wet roads made the driver lose control.
He was taken to the hospital to be evaluated but is expected to be okay, no one else was injured.

Move More, Sit Less, Feel Better, Live Longer
Recent research has turned traditional fitness advice on its head. For years we've been told that the body needs three or four workouts each week to maintain good health, but new studies suggest that those scheduled workouts have less impact on your health than how much you move—and sit—throughout the day.
Sitting down seems like a safe and harmless activity, but studies keep piling up indicating that too much sitting is downright dangerous. This Washington Post infographic details the many health risks of parking it in a chair for too long. Long periods of sitting have been linked to hypertension, high cholesterol, insulin resistance, muscle degeneration, and even cancer.
But enough bad news—the positive message emerging from this research is that getting up and moving around throughout the day can combat the negative impact of sitting. Better yet, you don't even need a gym membership or special clothes. A few do-able ways to sit less:
Stand or walk around whenever you talk on the phone. And when you have an in-person meeting that doesn't require computer work, ask if the other person is up for a "working walk" instead.
Walk to buy lunch instead of ordering in. Sure it requires more time away from your desk, but research done at the University of Illinois found that people who take breaks from work are able to focus better when they return—so both your body and your job will benefit.
Perform simple exercises on the hour. Whenever you notice that the clock has turned a new hour, do a few heel lifts, lunges, or squats. Okay, this could feel embarrassing if you work in a big open office, but try it—you might inspire some of your coworkers to move more too.
Take the long way. Whether you're walking to the printer, to a meeting, or outside to grab a coffee, skip the short cuts and take a route that allows you to get an extra minute or two of movement in.
Move in front of the tube. We would never tell you not to binge watch your favorite Netflix series. But instead of parking it on the sofa for hours, get up every one in a while and stretch, walk in place, do some jumping jacks.
How do you and your friends move more? Let us know on Facebook!

Ferragamo Goes To Hollywood-------
Though Ferragamo may conjure images of Florence, it's the brand's deep Hollywood ties that have inspired its pop-up shop inside the brand-new Wallis Annenberg Center for the Performing Arts in Beverly Hills. Creative director Massimiliano Giornetti used Ferragamo's title sponsorship of the new arts space as an opportunity to create a special line of accessories, specific to L.A. and the near 100-year history the brand has had in Tinseltown. Though the Salvatore Ferragamo company started in Italy, Mr. Ferragamo emigrated to America in 1914 and later opened his very own boot shop in Hollywood that catered to acting legends.
Playing on some of the house's most famous designs, the capsule collection includes the invisible wedge, hybrid silk sandals, and woven calfskin heels, all reimagined with modern touches of Lucite, hand weaving, and exotic combinations of textures and skins. "The iconic heritage remains true in this collection and speaks to every woman that desires the perfect combination of craftsmanship, modern design, and quality," Giornetti told Style.com, calling the product offering "the true essence of Ferragamo." Continue Reading "Ferragamo Goes To Hollywood" »
Closed's Big Opening-------
Since signing on as Closed's creative director last year, Kostas Murkudis has taken the Italian-born (but now German-based) label in a refreshing new direction. While the line is famed for its raw selvedge denim, Murkudis has been focusing on an accompanying range of ready-to-wear, which this season was inspired by Brazil and "Urban Tropicalism." What does that mean, exactly? For starters, the Spring '14 lineup included plenty of street-ready separates in punchy, tropical hues. White, yellow, or cerulean waffle knits were overlaid with sheer organza for an on-trend, sporty look, a tracksuit was covered in an electric-blue-and-violet photo print, and simple skirts and silky shorts looked as though they were plucked off a luxe soccer field. Leather tops and frocks were hole-punched to create a mesh effect—this same technique was used on a particularly slick bomber. Here, the perforated leather was lined with fabric in cobalt and emerald hues. Meanwhile, neoprene coats in white or turquoise had a tech appeal, and in one instance, a two-toned jacket-and-trousers ensemble—cut from the brand's signature denim—was made to look like a jogging suit.
Murkudis' influences manifested themselves most interestingly in a series of embroidered silk kimono-sport-jacket hybrids. Offered in long and short styles, the toppers—some of which featured stripes down the sleeves—were reportedly inspired by Brazil's thriving Japanese communities. "The collection is a mélange of sportswear, utility, and fashion," Murkudis told Style.com. "It goes back to the initial concept of Closed…[and] the fact that I can use the codes of uniforms and…cultural backgrounds is very inspiring," he added.
A spot-on Spring '14 isn't all the label is celebrating this season. Tomorrow, Closed will open its first Paris store, which is set at 18 rue du Poitou, in the third arrondissement. Murkudis explained that selling "and proudly showing our products—almost all of which are handmade—in the fashion capital is the next logical step in order to develop in the European market." The boutique—a sneak peek at which debuts exclusively above—is clean, classic, and minimal, just like Closed's aesthetic. The Closed crew will celebrate the milestone tomorrow via a fete with Olivier Zahm and Purple magazine. In fact, the brand has even teamed with Zahm on a limited-edition pair of jeans, which are, of course, dyed purple.
Olivier Zahm Keeps It Simple for UNIQLO-------
Everyone knows that if you want to up your "cool" factor, you bring in Olivier Zahm. This strategy was not lost on UNIQLO, who appointed the Purple Diary editor as visual director for its newest campaign. Lensed by art-world darling Ryan McGinley, the ads spotlight the brand's significantly broadened silk and cashmere range (think 330 colorways and patterns for him and her), which is available from today in stores and online. Chloë Sevigny, Lily Donaldson, and McGinley himself don UNIQLO's latest wares while posing against simple pastel backgrounds—a visual approach that Zahm felt would convey both the simplicity and sensuality of the materials. Catch the ads' debut here, exclusively on Style.com.
Kesh Goes All American-------
Downtown's eager scenesters piled into the American Apparel on East Houston last night for the New York launch of the brand's collaboration with U.K.-bred, L.A.-based artist Kesh. The twelve-piece capsule consists of American Apparel basics—tees, hats, panties, and the like—emblazoned with graphic black and white stripes and evil eyes. The motifs were all drawn from a wall in Kesh's studio, in front of which she's photographed visitors such as Azealia Banks, Dev Hynes, and Olivier Zahm.
"I want everyone to wear my clothes!" the artist told Style.com after posing for an Instagram. "Well, maybe not your average Joe walking down the street that has no idea who I am," she joked. But I have a really diverse following, from high-end fashionistas to students in Michigan. That's what I love most about my work."
Kesh told Style.com that she's worn American Apparel since she was 17, so to put her art on their clothes was a big full-circle moment—almost as exciting, she said, as showing for the first time at Art Basel Miami in December. "I also chose American Apparel because I've seen the workers in the factory making these clothes, and those workers are happy."
Kesh's collection for American Apparel is available in stores and online now. Prices start at $34.

Pittsburgh Steelers wide out Mike Wallace did not practice on Wednesday, via Ed Bouchette. The Steelers receiver landed on the team's injury report with a banged up hip.
While this is not a good sign for Sunday's game, he has Thursday and Friday to get involved. With the team out of playoff contention and with Wallace set to be a free agent, there's a slight chance No. 17 watches from the sidelines.
Fantasy Analysis: In Week 17, the Steelers will host the Cleveland Browns, in one final regular season bout with an AFC North opponent. With Wallace slightly banged up and drifting away from the Steelers, the team might not bother activating him on Sunday.
Depending on where Wallace lands in 2013, he could be a very desirable fantasy player next season.

Sea Scout building in Baylands launches new life

This is good news. The building looks great and I am pleased to see that it is being used. I wish the Interpretive Center could be taken over by some non profit group and updated. It always looked so sad and out of date. What is going to happen to it?
on Jul 20, 2012 at 10:20 am
This is so great! I spent a lot of time as a toddler hanging out at the duck pond and running across the old Sea Scout building. It was a historic, unique building it was always such a shame you couldn't go inside. I can't wait to visit it again!
on Jul 20, 2012 at 11:24 am
How very disappointing not to have at least one photo of the exterior of the building. It was still a mess when we moved and I was eager to see what it looks like now. I always found it interesting. Instead, all we got was one very limited interior picture that could have been taken anywhere. DUH

How do you create more space for digital ads when consumers are limited to an 11-to-22-inch screen?
Just add some time to it.
WebSpectator, a real-time ad exchange that measures a consumer's time spent viewing ads, on Wednesday announced it has received Media Rating Council (MRC) accreditation for its "guaranteed time slot" (GTS) advertising metric. The metric was first unveiled at ad:tech New York.
The company has also received MRC accreditation for its viewability offering and variations of its GTS offering. The GTS metric is meant for publishers, and is the first of its kind to be accredited.
André Parreira, the company's CEO, stated that the accreditation "introduces time as a new dimension for digital media."
As consumers don't spend all of their time on a Web page looking at ads, there is only a certain amount of time that each ad is effective. WebSpectator claims to be able to measure -- up to the millisecond -- the "effective time" that audiences spend looking at an ad.
Using this data, publishers can then re-auction inventory that has used up its "effective time." Publishers can multiply the amount of ads served in a single ad slot until the user leaves the page. All of the trading -- even for an ad slot that is being re-sold -- is done via real-time bidding (RTB).
"This tech opens the floodgates for digital brand advertising, which could have big revenue implications for publishers," a company representative told RTM Daily.
That's not just wishful thinking. Brasil Telecom-owned ISP iG has used WebSpectator and claims to have seen an increase in digital brand marketing spend as a result. In addition, the company claims it dramatically increased CPMs from $1 - $1.50 to $18 - $20.
It's noteworthy that WebSpectator received MRC accreditation on its first try. In a statement, George Ivie, executive director and CEO of the MRC, called the method of selling inventory "innovative."
