SCHAUMBURG, IL -- (Marketwired) -- 05/27/14 -- The American Academy of Dermatology (Academy) today launched "Lawn," a public service advertisement (PSA) that encourages older men to check their skin for suspicious or changing spots. Although melanoma, the deadliest form of skin cancer, can strike anyone, men older than 50 are at a higher risk of developing melanoma than the general population.
"According to an Academy survey, men are less likely than women to know how to examine their skin for signs of skin cancer," said board-certified dermatologist Thomas E. Rohrer, MD, FAAD, clinical associate professor of dermatology at Boston University School of Medicine. "Yet, checking your skin only requires a few minutes and could save your life."
Using humorous scenarios, "Lawn" points out that if men will do anything to take care of a spot on their lawn, they should do the same for a spot on their skin. Distributed to television and cable stations nationwide, the TV PSA encourages men to check their skin and have someone they trust check the areas they can't see. "Lawn" can be viewed on the Academy's YouTube channel and at www.aad.org/psa.
"Although the PSA uses humor to inspire action, skin cancer is a serious matter," said Dr. Rohrer. "When caught early, skin cancer, including melanoma, is highly treatable. If you see something that is changing, itching or bleeding, make an appointment to see a board-certified dermatologist."
To increase people's chances of spotting skin cancer early, the Academy recommends everyone learn the ABCDE rule, which outlines the warning signs of melanoma:
- A - is for Asymmetry: One half of the mole does not match the other half.
- B - is for Border irregularity: The edges are ragged, notched or blurred.
- C - is for Color that varies from one area to another.
- D - is for Diameter: While melanomas are usually greater than 6mm (the size of a pencil eraser) when diagnosed, they can be smaller.
- E - is for Evolving: A mole or skin lesion that looks different from the rest or is changing in size, shape or color.
In addition to launching the PSA, the Academy is teaching everyone how to SPOT Skin Cancer. SPOT Skin Cancer is the Academy's campaign to create a world without skin cancer through public awareness, community outreach programs and services, and advocacy that promote the prevention, detection and care of skin cancer.
On the Academy's website -- www.SpotSkinCancer.org -- visitors can learn how to perform a skin cancer self-exam through the "How to SPOT Skin Cancer" infographic, test how much they know -- or don't know -- about skin cancer through the SPOT Skin Cancer Quiz, and find free skin cancer screenings in their area. Individuals who have been affected by skin cancer can share their personal stories and provide support and inspiration for others fighting skin cancer, as well as communicate the importance of prevention and early detection.
Headquartered in Schaumburg, Ill., the American Academy of Dermatology (Academy), founded in 1938, is the largest, most influential, and most representative of all dermatologic associations. With a membership of more than 17,000 physicians worldwide, the Academy is committed to: advancing the diagnosis and medical, surgical and cosmetic treatment of the skin, hair and nails; advocating high standards in clinical practice, education, and research in dermatology; and supporting and enhancing patient care for a lifetime of healthier skin, hair and nails. For more information, contact the Academy at 1-888-462-DERM (3376) or www.aad.org. Follow the Academy on Facebook (American Academy of Dermatology) or Twitter (@AADskin).

I applied online. The process took 2 weeks – interviewed at Qualitest Pharmaceuticals in August 2011.
The hiring process started with a phone screening from HR. Next I had a phone interview with the plant manager. The phone interview lasted about 1/2 and hour and consisted of the basic interview questions. About an hour after the phone interview was completed I got a call from HR asking when I would be available for a face to face interview. They flew me down a week and a half later for the face to face interview. I interviewed with the direct manager, the plant manager, QA manager, and two other support managers.

Ranea Crabtree from Ohio Wants to Change Her First Name To "Sexy"
- Order Reprints
- Text Size
By Christine Lazaro | January 31, 2014 3:55 PM EST
(Video Credit: YouTube/SourceFed)
It's not every day that you get to encounter a person who wants to change her first name to some kind of an adjective like 'Sexy.'
Ranea Crabtree is one of those persons who want to carry out an odd request of having her first name changed to 'Sexy.' A Huffington Post article mentioned that she related her new name to the kind of personality she has. Ms Crabtree confessed that she likes wearing a lot of sexy clothes from Victoria's Secret plus the fact that her hubby calls her sexy most of the time.
"I really want to do Sexy because it's kinda' like my personality. I just love to be adventurous, have fun and do all kinds of things," she added.
Ms Crabtree's first name is Sheila, who she explained, her dad gave to her while Ranea is her middle name which her mum gave. She even thinks that she has been "cursed" with the name that she considers "ugly."
Will You Do Everything For A Name Change?
Ms Crabtree has reportedly went through all the possible ways to change her name. She had already filled out a form for name change and paid a court fee of $87. It also includes an official notice on the local newspapers for 30 days. She will also have to stand in court on February 11, 2014 to ask the judge of her request for name change.
The Observer.ca also wrote that if 'Sexy' won't work, then Ms Crabtree said she is also considering the name 'Sparkle.' Her teenage daughter is also clueless with why her mum finds the name Sheila ugly to the point that she gets grounded each time she calls her mum by the first name.
Other odd name change stories documented include that of two guys from England, Time magazine recalls. The two guys' names were Daniel Knox-Hewson, which was changed to Emperor Spiderman Gandalf Wolverine Skywalker Optimus Prime Goku Sonic Xavier Ryu Cloud Superman HeMan Batman Thrash and the other is Kelvin Borbidge changed to Baron Venom Balrog Sabretooth Vader Megatron Vegeta Robotnik Magneto Bison Sephiroth Lex Luthor Skeletor Joker Grind.
According to legal authorities, it is most likely that Ms Crabtree's request for a name change to 'Sexy' will be granted for as long as she can render a proper reason for it.

Manchester Mother Finds Blood-Covered Heroin Needle in Tesco Bread
- Order Reprints
- Text Size
By drishya Nair | February 6, 2013 11:15 PM EST
A Manchester woman was left "alarmed and distressed" after finding a heroin addict's blood-covered needle in a packet of bread.
The woman was making a sandwich for her 10-year-old child and had taken two slices of bread when she discovered the needle in the packet she bought from a Tesco Express in Pendleton, Manchester Magistrates' Court heard.
After carrying out a DNA test as part of their investigation, police traced the blood sample to 61-year-old David Rodgers, who admitted to shoving the needle into the packet while visiting the store with his wife.
Rodgers pushed the needle into the packet in a desperate attempt to hide it from his wife, as he did not want her to know that he was using heroine again.
Rodgers, a grandfather, pleaded guilty to contaminating the loaf with intent to cause public alarm yesterday. He was warned of a jail sentence and the case has been adjourned for pre-sentence reports.
"It's hard to believe what I did, being a father and granddad," Rodgers told police, while accepting that he could have thrown the needle elsewhere.
Dominic Geelan, prosecuting, says Rodgers did not seem to have any grudge against Tesco and he had kept the needle in his pocket for two days before pushing it into the bread packet.
"The only reason he could think of was that he didn't want his wife to know he was using heroin again," Geelan added.
"We have been working closely with the police throughout their investigation and on behalf of our customers are pleased that this has been resolved," a spokesman for Tesco was quoted as saying by Daily Mail.

TT launches new phone marketing product
TELECOMS| Aug. 14, 2012, 9:07 a.m.
By Gregory Gondwe, Blantyre, Malawi
Teleservice Traders Limited (TT), a leading independent Southern African systems integrator and service supplier in professional communications, has launched a product that will provide callers to companies with important packaged information every time their call is put on hold.
The product, which uses wired and wireless technology, is called Private Automatic Branch Exchange (PABX)-Music/Advert on Hold system.
Launching the product last week, TT Managing Director George Layisani said Advert on Hold is a simple plug and play device that will connect with a PABX telephone system to provide with music or advert on hold alert.
In an interview after the launch, Layisani said CDMA mobile lines will also be able to utilize the facility.
"[This] can be changed to fixed lines through router hence we can say this product can also cover those organizations which are using mobile lines through PABXs," he explained.
At the launch, he explained that research has shown that 70% of all calls are placed on hold with silence and that 60% of callers hang up, while 30% of callers who hang up will never call back and that 88% of callers prefer on-hold messaging to silence.
"An effective voice on hold campaign will reduce caller hang-ups by 45% and increase caller enquiries by 15%," said Layisani. "On hold marketing is the easiest and most efficient and cost effective way to pass valuable information to callers."
The Malawi head of the Teleservice Traders Ltd which was established in 2001 and incorporated in 2008 says although they already command a good market share they still believed there was need for such a product because once companies or organization have it installed in their telephone systems clients have something to listen to while waiting and for a company, it can avoid losing sales by customers disconnecting.
"You can increase profitability and achieve brand exposure by informing clients of services they may not know that you provide," said Layisani who added that advert on Hold will help differentiate a company from a competition as well as enhancing a company's image.
Layisani explained that although they have unveiled this product they do not have a figure of subscribers in mind who might take up the products.
"As of now we have more enquiries and demonstrations and I think the response is overwhelming as every company wants promote its products to a particular audience," he said.
He also said while they do not have any idea as to how many firms are there that utilize CDMA they are only looking at almost all companies who are using telephone system PABX where they are taking a simple message to them that this is a cheapest and easiest way of advertising.
"We have a series of product launching and demonstration. The concept is simple advertise to the callers at no charge and use the same infrastructure you have," he said.

A statement on the China Foreign Ministry's website, claims that as of 5 pm on June 7, 2014 there were as many as 63 Vietnamese vessels in the area near the Xisha Islands in the South China Sea at the peak, attempting to break through China's cordon and ramming Chinese government ships a total of 1,416 times. An extract from the lengthy statement follows:
On 2 May 2014, a Chinese company's HYSY 981 drilling rig started its drilling operation inside the contiguous zone of China's Xisha Islands for the purpose of oil and gas exploration. With the first phase of the operation completed, the second phase began on 27 May.
Using frogmen, fishing nets, floating objects and hundreds of boat rammings, Vietnam escalated its harassment of China over Beijing's legal oil drilling in the South China Sea.
The two locations of operation are 17 nautical miles from both the Zhongjian Island of China's Xisha Islands and the baseline of the territorial waters of Xisha Islands, yet approximately 133 to 156 nautical miles away from the coast of the Vietnamese mainland.
The Chinese company has been conducting explorations in the related waters for the past 10 years, including seismic operations and well site surveys. The drilling operation carried out by HYSY 981 this time is a continuation of the routine process of explorations, and falls well within China's sovereignty and jurisdiction.
The website also carried a photo, shown here, of a document from then-prime minister Pham Van Dong to Chinese premier Zhou Enlai on Sept 14, 1958, that acknowledged China's sovreignty over the Xisha and Nansha islands.

Orient boss demands improvement against Carlisle Utd
Last updated at 12:49, Thursday, 15 November 2012
Leyton Orient boss Russell Slade has demanded a big improvement from his players when they arrive at Carlisle United on Saturday.
The O's made hard work of seeing off Conference North outfit Gloucester City last night when they beat them 2-0 in the FA Cup.
Slade's side required goals in the last five minutes from David Mooney and Dean Cox to avoid a replay. And the Orient manager knows they will have to show a vast improvement at Brunton Park.
Slade said: "It's all about getting through in the FA Cup. We know how difficult it can be from our escapades against Droylsden two years back.
"In the end we got the goals, although we wanted them a little bit earlier.
"We had three really good chances to get goals but to be fair their goalkeeper's pulled off two fantastic saves. Credit to Gloucester. I thought they gave every last ounce and threw everything at the game but we wore them down in the end, got on top and eventually got the goals."

Winnipeg Free Press - PRINT EDITION
Today's Horoscope
MOON ALERT We have the all clear to do business (whether $10 or $10 million) and make important decisions. The moon is in Scorpio.
ARIES (March 21-April 19)
Parents must be patient with children because this whole area could be a source of frustration. You might feel helpless or inadequate. (Ha -- join the club. We've got jackets.) Similarly, social events and creative activities also feel blocked and hard to get off the ground. But lo! Smooth sailing tomorrow.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20)
Be patient with family members and situations at home. Mucho activity and chaos are taking place and you might find this frustrating. As a result, relations with partners and close friends could be prickly. Don't be brash. Go slowly and carefully. Easy does it.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20)
Think twice before brandishing swords with anyone even though you are ready to speak your mind -- and forcefully -- might I add. (I did.) If you do this, especially without thinking, you will be blocked by someone. In other words, you're not going to get away with it. Pull in your reins. Try again tomorrow.
CANCER (June 21-July 22)
You're never casual about money, which is why you find the day frustrating. Whatever you try to do, financially speaking -- earn money or spend it -- will meet with obstacles. You are blocked. ("What's with this?") Just accept this and be patient. (Do you have a choice?)
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22)
Go slowly and be thorough and careful in everything you do because it's the only way you can be. Someone in authority or someone older might say something about you that confirms your worst suspicions about yourself. (Aaggh!) Just ignore this.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)
Be careful with behind-the-scenes activity, especially if you're doing something secretive or sneaky because things will not go as smoothly as you hope. Something will catch you up or stop you. Just be aware of this. Forewarned is forearmed.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)
Relations with others, especially in group situations, are difficult because someone is unco-operative and possibly even combative. (You need this like a fish needs a bicycle.) Don't keep pushing to get your way because it won't work. Just sit this round out.
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)
This is a poor day to get permission or approval from anyone in authority -- bosses, parents, teachers, VIPs or the police. They will not be receptive. Quite likely, their response will be, "Talk to the hand." Just cool your jets and lie low. Tomorrow is a better day.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)
Travel plans and issues related to higher education, medicine, the law or anything to do with publishing the media are difficult to expedite. Delays, cancellations and refusals will frustrate your efforts. Therefore, postpone these things until tomorrow.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)
It's not the day to make important decisions about inheritances, insurance matters, or how to divide something, especially shared property. It will be too frustrating and difficult. Postpone these decisions until tomorrow or later in the week. (You'll be glad you did.)
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)
Conversations with others, especially partners and close friends, will be difficult because you feel inwardly inadequate for some reason. Don't worry, you still have the magic, it's just that it's a poor day for negotiations. Do your tap-dance tomorrow.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20)
Even though you're prepared to work hard, the gods are not with you. You can sense this right off the bat. Knowing this, why keep banging your head against the wall? Just tread water and wait until tomorrow to push things through. You will encounter fewer obstacles then.
Actor Hugh Grant (1960) shares your birthday. You are charming and introspective. You are drawn to challenges and capable of overcoming major obstacles. You are sexually attractive and very private. You have a knack for putting your finger on social trends and public opinion. You like to interact with people who have fine minds. This year will be a social year for you where all your relationships will beautifully improve.

Yough students learn lessons in the great outdoors
For 35 weeks out of each school year, students in the third and eighth grades of the Yough School District spend time in a traditional classroom setting, but for one week, they get to venture outdoors to experience nature and learn from the great outdoors.
Environmental Education Week is held every year at Cedar Creek Park, welcoming the students to enjoy different areas of the park while applying classroom lessons to actual live settings.
"This is a great way for these students to be able to see what they have been learning about in their classes," Yough Intermediate Middle School teacher and event coordinator Brian Grindle said of the week of outdoor classes. "This gives them the opportunity to do hands-on activities, applying what they have learned in the traditional classroom setting to actual environmental setting, and it's fun."
The students are placed in groups then assigned different areas or stations to visit throughout the park that are specifically set up for the program.
Students learn about the environment, water and pollution, local and state wildlife, trees, plants and macro-vertebrate identification.
"I think that this is cool, and I like being outside," student Angela Ambrosia, 13 said. "I just really like coming to Cedar Creek. It's so nice here."
The students split the week, with the third-grade students coming for part of the week and the eighth-grade students coming for the latter part of the week.
The lessons offered in the park setting are geared toward which age group will be attending, but all focus on the benefits of the outdoor hands-on learning experience.
"These students get to experience things not seen in a classroom," sixth-grade math and science teacher Lou Korpar said.
Korpar was assisting with the station that was based on Pennsylvania wildlife, focusing on the otter and beaver, which are both experiencing a rebirth in the state.
"The otter and the beaver were both extirpated and pretty much nonexistent in our area," Pennsylvania Game Commission intern Ray McGrew said. "They have now been reintroduced, and they are doing good. It's good to teach these kids while they are young the importance of taking care of the environment and the wildlife."
Students spent time identifying wildlife and trees, taking part in a scavenger hunt that challenged their skills, took nature walks, learned about state game, floral and fauna, and spent time in the stream looking for water life to be identified.
"This is fun," student Sam Lindner said. "We get to apply what we have learned, and it's fun."
The Environmental Education Week has now been taking place for many years, and Grindle said that he is thrilled that the district supports the outdoor classes.
"While many districts contract outside agencies to provide this educational experience we continue to strive to utilize the resources in our own back yard, Grindle said. "It's great that the district is so enthusiastic about these outdoor classes and it gives these kids an exciting and educational experience."

Role Playing Game for Learning Mandarin Chinese
Original post made by Sanford Forte, Evergreen Park, on Jun 10, 2008
This looks like a fun learning experience; it's the kind of thing we can expect more of as cognitive science and computation begin to deliver rich, distributed learning experiences.
from the Zon website:
"Zon is an unique interactive massively multiplayer online role playing game for learning Mandarin Chinese.
"By interacting in the Zon environment you will be exposed to Chinese language and cultural knowledge in a new and exciting way. Everything that you do in the game is another chance to learn new words, phrases and cultural info about China. Never before has learning Chinese been more fun.
"The nice part about Zon is it is all browser based. No client applications are required, so you can log in and play from school, work or home. Zon is a persistant environment, so when you log off, the world still keeps going.
"As you progress through the game, your character graduates from the tourist class, to a resident of Zon and then finally a citizen, where you can own businesses and create new content for the world."

It's much easier to learn mandarin through a real MMORPG (10 million players) like World of Warcraft.

2.1 million viewers can't be wrong.
Sadly, in the last patch, Blizzard inflated/devalued the in-game currency compared to the US dollar (from ~$.05 USD per 1 WoW Gold to ~$.001 US per 1 WoW Gold). Wiping out the chinese gold farmer workforce in the process.
