Worcestershire and England teammates Graham Dilley and Ian Botham sharing a joke at New Road
In the 1970s England didn't really do fast bowlers. There was bustling Bob Willis of course, a flurry of pumping limbs and more effort put into each delivery than Michael Holding would bother with in an entire session, but realistically he was all there was. Men like Mike Hendrick, Chris Old and John Lever were good bowlers, but they weren't a terrifying proposition by any means. There was Ian Botham too. He was pretty sharp, and when he bent his back he had all the aggression, but even then he was no more than fast-medium.
In 1978-79 Mike Brearley's side hammered Australia 5-1 in Australia to retain the Ashes. The only problem was that it wasn't a proper Australian team that was vanquished. The best Australian players were all contracted to Kerry Packer's World Series Cricket, so to say the winning margin flattered England was something of an understatement.
Peace broke out in the cricket world the following year and that meant a revenue-raising trip down under for England in 1979/80. The trouble was the big names were all going to be back and the mini baggygreenwash that followed said all that needed to be said of the respective states of the nations.
England knew they were going to be in trouble against Australia's first team and from the moment the tour was announced it was an open secret that the selectors would be casting around for a genuinely quick young bowler, eyes to the future and all that. It wasn't a difficult choice as there were only two candidates, both 20 years of age and both talked about in glowing terms by their county's supporters. The man who got the nod was Kent's Graham Dilley - no one remembers the competition now, he of the quintessentially English name, Peter Hugh L'Estrange Wilson. "Flea", as he was affectionately known to his teammates, showed great potential in 1979 but for once the selectors got it right as he failed to live up to his early promise.
For Dilley, who had worked at Hatton Garden as a diamond cutter after leaving school, the expectation was that he would largely be a spectator on the tour. He had, at just turned 18, made his Kent debut in 1977 but six wicketless overs as fifth change against Cambridge University didn't cause any eyebrows to be raised. The following season he played four times, but despite a good performance against Middlesex in June when he took seven wickets, at the start of 1979 he wasn't expected to be a regular member of the first team. In the event Kevin Jarvis was injured early on and Dilley took his chance and played a full season in which he took 49 wickets at 23 to bring himself to the selectors attention. Against Northamptonshire he rescued the Kent innings by top-scoring with 81 from number 10. He always looked like he could bat, but he never got another County Championship fifty despite playing on until 1992.
With Hendrick injured Dilley was preferred to John Lever for the first Test and took three wickets. He failed to add to that in the second and then injury, not for the last time by any means, ruled him out of the next Test. He did well against the West Indies in 1980 under Ian Botham's captaincy, but less so in the Caribbean the following winter. In 1981 we had the visit of Australia for the series that will always be known as "Botham's Ashes". Dilley's figures are deceptive - 14 wickets in three Tests at less than 20 each suggest he was bowling well but the truth was he was flattered by those figures and was bowling badly. Bereft of confidence he was not selected again after Headingley.
His poor bowling notwithstanding (he was entrusted with only two overs in Australia's remarkable second innings collapse) Dilley's contribution to that most famous of victories remains, for most, the defining moment of his career. On the fourth afternoon he joined Botham, now of course back in the ranks, when the 7th wicket fell at 135. England had three wickets in hand and 92 were still required to make Australia bat again. There was no pressure on Dilley and Botham and they threw their bats with gay abandon. The Kent fast bowler matched Botham shot for shot contributing 56, as against Botham's 57, of their stand of 117. Had Terry Alderman not finally decided to come round the wicket to Dilley to cramp him up perhaps that 81 might have been threatened. As it was Dilley left with the job half done, but fortunately Botham, Old and Willis with the bat, and then Willis with the ball, did the rest.
As noted there were just the two overs for Dilley with the new ball in Australia's second innings. After that he went off, feeling a thigh strain, before returning to the field after some strapping had been applied. No one who watched that innings unfold will ever forget it. Even as Australia embarked on their seemingly straightforward task there was a buzz of anticipation in the ground and in front of the nation's televisions. By the time, just after lunch, when Chris Old dismissed Alan Border, I knew we were going to win. When Rod Marsh top edged Willis down towards fine leg there was never the slightest doubt in mind that Dilley would safely hold on to the catch. He was clearly worried about the location of the rope just behind him, and took the catch way over his head, but he took it sweetly. We learned later that his teammates did not share my confidence Brearley, the man with the degree in people, apparently saying to Botham with a shake of the head "Oh God, its Picca". Botham, first to run up to Dilley might have congratulated him on the catch, but in fact told Dilley of his skipper's lack of faith - go to youtube and watch Dilley's phlegmatic reaction to Botham if you doubt me.
Within a month of Headingley Dilley's crisis of form and confidence was such that he was playing for Kent Seconds, and it was a major surprise when he was selected to tour India that winter, but although he recorded his second Test, and third and final First Class half century, his bowling was disappointing and it was 1986 before he re-established his Test career. The highlight of Part 2 was his 5-68 at the 'Gabba in the first Test of the 1986/87 Ashes series. There were five more five wicket hauls for Dilley before his Test career ended after the third Test of that dreadful 1989 Ashes series. In a career of as many as 41 Tests Dilley was on the winning side just twice, at Headingley and the 'Gabba, but his final tally of 130 wickets at 29 apiece was, in a pretty poor side, a thoroughly respectable return.
At county level Dilley left Kent at the end of the 1986 season feeling that he was not adequately rewarded for his efforts. He moved to Worcestershire where, with Ian Botham, he helped galvanize the sleepy West Midland county into a power in the land - they won five trophies including two County Championships, during the five full seasons he spent with them before, after 1992, he left the First Class game and moved into coaching. His life after cricket was not, either personally or professionally, entirely straightforward, but he was on the right road when cancer tragically took him from us, at the age of just 52, earlier this week.
Graham Dilley was just a few months older than me and it is a sobering thought that a man whose entire Test career took place within my adulthood has passed away, the more so that it is Graham Dilley, the tall good-looking blonde bloke who caused a wave of interest in the game amongst a whole generation of young women. I actually managed to persuade my then girlfriend to join me at the Oval Test against West Indies in 1980. She only had eyes for Dilley of course, but I didn't care - he bowled well and bloody quickly that Monday, and he wouldn't have noticed her doe-eyed gaze anyway.
Thanks for the memories Picca.
Ditto regarding the age thing. fwiw I think that Norman Cowans was the first England cricketer born after me.
As for Dilley, his test career was a strange thing. Looking back now, it seems unbelievable that he barely played a test between 1982 and 1986, but I don't really remember how often he was fit enough to play. You'd have to say that a lot of worse bowlers played for us in those years though.
Comment by wpdavid | 8:41pm gmt 07 Oct 2011
Seems like only yesterday he was picked as a raw 20 year old for the Australian Tour. I don't think the intention at the time of his selection was to play him in the Test Matches. I can still hear Fred Trueman's rant on TMS about how Dilley wasn't good enough, had a terrible action and didn't bowl the ball to the other end but just pushed it down. Brian Johnston thought Fred was being a bit harsh and asked who should have been chosen instead and Fred said Graham Stevenson of ................drum roll..............Yorkshire. Stevenson joined the tour late on and did quite well in a couple of ODI's and performed okay in the Jubilee Test in India.
Like Martin, this was approaching the time when people being chosen for our sports teams were starting to be the same age as me or younger. Not something you worry too greatly about in your late teens but the current resident at Number 10 Downing Street means that for the first time ever even the bloody Prime Minister is younger.[IMG]http://www.cricketweb.net/forum/images/icons/icon7.gif[/IMG]

Excellent read Martin, a very well constructed tribute to a man that I'm sure will be missed.

Tuesday night, Tyson Chandler left the game in the first half during the Knicks' 117-94 loss to the Denver Nuggets and was diagnosed with a left knee contusion. It kept him out of Thursday night's 105-90 loss against the Portland Trail Blazers. This incident really makes Knicks fans think.
In a little more than a week the Knicks have lost Amar'e Stoudemire for at least six weeks due to knee surgery and Carmelo Anthony also left Tuesday night's game due to a sore knee that he planned to get drained upon returning to New York yesterday. Tuesday night was the first game back for Anthony after injuring it during the Knicks' miraculous comeback win against the Cleveland Cavaliers last Monday. Including Shumpert's late return and Marcus Camby's and Rasheed Wallace's foot issues the Knicks have been fairly plagued by injuries this season but the thought of the Knicks losing Tyson Chandler due to injury is a situation that has flown under the radar.
As the reigning Defensive Player of the Year, Chandler is making a strong case for a repeat as his rebounding has been extremely pivotal to the Knicks success this season. Overall the team lacks in defensive proficiency and Chandler's ability to limit opponent's second chance opportunities is crucial. His presence and size in the paint are equally valuable. Whenever opponents are able to penetrate the Knicks' outer defensive layer, Chandler is there to step up and challenge them, altering shot attempts and forcing mistakes. Bill Russell said, "The idea is not to block every shot. The idea is to make your opponent believe that you might block every shot," and Chandler lives out that way of thinking to the greatest extent.
Although Carmelo Anthony has been the team's greatest asset on the offensive end all season, Chandler's contributions have also been noteworthy. Averaging a double-double, Chandler also leads the NBA in field goal percentage with .645 and is top five in dunks on the season with 133; the ideal ending to any offensive possession. Chandler is also tied for first in the NBA in offensive rebounding with 4.2 per game. This gives the Knicks an average of at least four second chance opportunities per game, which could easily make the difference between a win and a loss. He just seems to always be in the right place at the right time, whether to smack a missed shot out to the guards or bail Felton out when defenders collapse for an alley-oop.
If you could place a numeric value on Chandler's impacts both offensively and defensively the whole would exceed the sum of its parts. He is an extremely vocal player who has the ability to motivate his teammates and reinforce Coach Woodson's ideas on the court.
Chandler played a key part in taking down the Miami Heat with the Dallas Mavericks in the 2011 NBA Finals and if the Knicks are to reach the 2013 Finals, Chandler will have to be there to continue that role as it is likely the road to the finals will pass through South Beach.

Tips and tricks to help you get a better nights sleep.
Rate this video.
For those with nighttime allergies, a good night's sleep can be but a dream. Exposure to allergens in the bedroom can lead to some of the most severe allergy symptoms of the day. But a few preventive measures can help keep those nighttime allergy symptoms in check.
One of the biggest causes of nighttime allergies is dust mites - microscopic, spider-like bugs that feed on exfoliated human skin cells. These critters can be found in mattresses, pillows, bed linens, carpets and upholstered furniture. Dust mites won't bite you or harm you. But if they do trigger your allergies, you can take action reduce your exposure to them.
First, put dust-mite-proof covers on all pillows, mattresses, and box springs. If you have severe nighttime allergies, replace old pillows and consider replacing an old mattress as well. Next, wash bed linens weekly, or more often if needed. And finally, vacuum carpets and rugs, and sweep floors regularly. But clean early in the day - kicking up mite-infested dust just before bedtime can make allergy symptoms worse.
You should also declare the bedroom a pet-free zone - especially at night. Even if you're not allergic to dogs or cats, their fur can often carry pollen and mold spores which will wind up in the bedroom or worse - on the bed. So, when it's bedtime, say goodnight to Rover and close the door. And close the window to prevent pollen, mold spores, and other allergens from breezing into the room.
Following these tips can help you reduce the severity of symptoms tremendously so you can get a good night's sleep and wake up rested.

Hi, Lindsay:
I thought I would send this note just to catch you up on Moses' new life. He seems very happy here with us ... he and Belle, our one-year old Lab, spend all of their time together and get along well. I am slowly training him to attend to me more quickly, and I plan to do a lot more work with him when the weather clears. He is smart and affectionate; he is great with my grandchildren (11 and 8); he gets lots of exercise and he seems to be a perfect fit for us (and we seem the same for him, I might add ... he's in dog heaven here, with woods to run in and treats waiting at home). The local squirrels aren't too thrilled with him, but they can cope.
Thanks for all your help on this.

The problems with going mainstream
I was trying to lift weights three weeks ago, but as normal, I spent far too much time flapping my gums instead.
I meant only to say hello to my friend's father, but hello turned into a 15-minute conversation. Procrastination makes me talkative.
After less than thirty seconds of talking about real life, the topic changed to basketball.
"Remember Matt Hall?" he asked me. "He's playing overseas now. Doing pretty well, too."
"He was such a late bloomer," I responded. "Sophomore year he played junior varsity, then the next season he killed the entire region. Windmill dunks, pull-up jumpers, everything."
"Yup. He got even better in college, too."
"I know. I saw him a couple summers ago at Hubbard Park, playing against John Williams."
Williams, the best player ever to play at my high school, became a Division II All-American, started for the D-League's Bakersfield Jam in 2009-'10, and now stars in Holland or Germany or some other country that I once knew and I'm now forgetting. My high school obviously doesn't churn out NBA players very often, or even Division 1 players. UConn's Kevin Freeman is Longmeadow High School's most famous basketball alumni, but in high school, Williams was better.
"Because of that night, there's still a warrant out for Matt Hall's arrest," I continued. "He's wanted for the murder of John Williams. John could not handle him. It was the first time I ever saw someone outplay John."
Two or three years after the fact, I was still talking about a summer league game.
Kevin Durant and Lebron James met yesterday when the Melo League battled the Goodman League for world supremacy, err, or something like it. Durant continued his assault of the summer tour, scoring 59 points. Lebron threw an alley-oop to himself off the backboard, dropped either 32, 38, or 42 points, depending on who you believe, and won the game.
"People will say KD got the best of [Lebron]," wrote SB Nation's Andrew Sharp, "but for every vicious crossover Durant threw, Bron countered with, say, an effortless fadeaway. For everything backbreaking three from Durant, there was LeBron wreaking havoc on the fast break. And yeah, Durant scored 59 to LeBron's 38, but LeBron had to split his shots with Carmelo.
"Much as I'd love to give to the edge to KD, LeBron was every bit as unstoppable, and in the end, there was no clear winner."
5,000 individuals spent $40 per ticket to watch several NBA stars compete in a contest that was at once meaningless and the most important game ever played at Morgan St.'s Talmadge L. Hill Field House. Summer league basketball has always been played and stars have always participated, but the entire experience has never been so mainstream.
The NBA lockout has pushed previously unimportant games off grocery store shelves and into the kitchen of basketball-starved fans. If Durant had scored 66 points at Rucker Park last summer, we would have heard a brief whisper about it before going back to our "Stephen A. Smith reports that Dwyane Wade and Lebron James will — gasp — team up in Miami" headlines. But now there is no free agency to divert our attention, no NBA rumor mill, no promise that the NBA will return at the end of October. So we spend more time caring about summer exhibitions than ever before.
ESPN covered last night's game. The Washington Post reported on it. SB Nation too. Tweeters tweeted about it. But only 4,500 people saw it in its entirety. There's an exclusivity to summer league basketball that can beget legends and tall tales and myths, an aura that comes from the fact that this game won't ever show up on ESPN Classic and it couldn't be DVR'ed.
Whether you like it or not, our society gets facts more correct than ever before. We end arguments with simple Google searches. We check advanced statistics to explore players in more depth. We write blog posts expanding on blog posts which already expanded upon a column in the Boston Globe. We have become, or maybe we always have been, an information-crazed society. Our knowledge of sports can now be supplemented with facts that are more easily attainable than at any other point in history. But sometimes our easy access to undisputed truth can cloud the best stories in sports.
Could Dr. J grab a nickel off the backboard? Did Bill Russell really average somewhere in the vicinity of ten blocks per game in his prime? Did Pistol Pete Maravich once shoot a halfcourt heave to end a game, put his index finger in the air, turn his back to the basket, and trot off the court as the shot fell through the nets? I can't prove that any of these events happens, but I can't prove otherwise either. And maybe I'm better off not knowing. Maybe I'm better off left to contemplate whether such exploits are even possible, never mind whether they actually happened.
There's something mystical about hearing that Kevin Durant scored 59 points but not knowing exactly how it happened. About hearing that Lebron scored 42 points, or 38 points, or 32 points, and not being able to prove which count was correct. About breathlessly following Michael Lee's tweets about the game and imagining how the plays actually occurred.
Summer league basketball is becoming more popular than ever, but maybe it's better off left in the shadows. Keep ESPN out of it and let the 5,000 people in attendance at these games weave tales and stories and try in vain to explain how majestic Durant's performance was, how he stood toe-to-toe with Lebron and got the better of him, or how Lebron answered every call Durant made and also helped his team to a win. Learning all the facts is great and our knowledge of sports has never been better, but sometimes I just want to hear about a player's accomplishments and wonder if they're even possible without any proof one way or the other. I want to watch a game and remember it exactly how my mind tells me to, not how it looks when I re-watch it on YouTube ten years later.
In my mind, Matt Hall scored 50 points against John Williams on that day two or three summers ago. He drilled improbable fadeaway jumpers and impossible pull-up threes. He jumped so high that he kissed the net before laying in a finger roll from about a foot above the rim. The crowd buzzed, knowing we were witnessing something special, and Hall's right hand kept getting hotter and hotter.
I can't Google that game and tell you my facts are right. I can't YouTube it and watch the highlights. I can't search for the box score or explore the advanced stats or re-watch every play on Synergy Sports. Memory is all I have.
But damn it, that's one hell of a memory.

Kris Bowers featuring special guest Moses Sumney

The Fold 2220 Beverly Boulevard Los Angeles, CA 90057 View Map Add to my calendar
At the start of his formal training in classical music, he found it difficult to concentrate on just one genre as he was surrounded by the sounds of old school R&B and funk that his parents favored and the hip-hop and pop reflective of the tastes of his own generation. Immersed in this musical melting pot, Kris soon found himself attracted to the rhythmic and soulful feeling of jazz.
Covering a Kris Bowers performance for the New York Times, Ben Ratliff wrote, "His set had range and ambition and said something strong, sweet and normative about phrasing and rhythm in jazz right now. (It didn't argue against tradition, and his tradition connects jazz with R&B and gospel on the deeper levels.)"

Mom's version is so much lovelier. That morning her friend Irene called to say a few friends were going to a show at Cleveland's Karamu House, the first integrated theatre in the country. Irene asked if Mom would come along. Mom said, "Well, sure."

Real Help for Cancer?
by Bill Sardi and Timothy Hubbell by Bill Sardi and Timothy Hubbell
The weekly injection of just 100 billionths of a gram of a harmless glyco-protein (a naturally-produced molecule with a sugar component and a protein component) activates the human immune system and cures cancer for good, according to human studies among breast cancer and colon cancer patients, producing complete remissions lasting 4 and 7 years respectively. This glyco-protein cure is totally without side effect but currently goes unused by cancer doctors.
Normal Gc protein (also called vitamin D binding protein), an abundant glyco-protein found in human blood serum, becomes the molecular switch to activate macrophages when it is converted to its active form, called Gc macrophage activating factor (Gc-MAF). Gc protein is normally activated by conversion to Gc-MAF with the help of the B and T cells (bone marrow-made and thymus gland-made white blood cells). But, as researchers explain it themselves, cancer cells secrete an enzyme known as alpha-N-acetylgalactosaminidase (also called Nagalase) that completely blocks conversion of Gc protein to Gc-MAF, preventing tumor-cell killing by the macrophages. This is the way cancer cells escape detection and destruction, by disengaging the human immune system. This also leaves cancer patients prone to infections and many then succumb to pneumonia or other infections.
The once-weekly injection of minute amounts of Gc-MAF, just 100 nanograms (billionths of a gram), activates macrophages and allows the immune system to pursue cancer cells with vigor, sufficient to produce total long-term cures in humans.
Nobuto Yamamoto, director of the Division of Cancer Immunology and Molecular Biology, Socrates Institute for Therapeutic Immunology, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, says this is "probably the most potent macrophage activating factor ever discovered."
Once a sufficient number of activated macrophages are produced, another Gc-MAF injection is not needed for a week because macrophages have a half-life of about six days. After 16-22 weekly doses of Gc-MAF the amount of Nagalase enzyme fell to levels found in healthy people, which serves as evidence tumors have been completely eliminated. The treatment was fool-proof — it worked in 100% of 16 breast cancer patients and there were no recurrent tumors over a period of 4 years, says a report in the January 15 issue of the International Journal of Cancer. [International Journal Cancer. 2008 January15; 122(2):461-7]
In another startling follow-up report by Dr. Yamamoto and colleagues, published in the upcoming July issue of Cancer Immunology Immunotherapy, Gc-MAF therapy totally abolished tumors in 8 colon cancer patients who had already undergone surgery but still exhibited circulating cancer cells (metastases). After 32-50 weekly injections, "all colorectal cancer patients exhibited healthy control levels of the serum Nagalase activity, indicating eradication of metastatic tumor cells," said researchers, an effect that lasted 7 years with no indication of cancer recurrence either by enzyme activity or CT scans, said researchers. [Cancer Immunology, Immunotherapy Volume 57, Number 7 / July, 2008] Published in an early online edition of this journal, this confirming report has received no attention by the new media so far, despite its striking importance.
Gc-MAF treatment for cancer has been agonizingly slow to develop. Dr. Yamamoto first described this immuno-therapy in 1993. [The Journal of Immunology, 1993 151 (5); 2794-2802]
● Untreated mice ○ Mice given macrophage activating factor
In a similar animal experiment published in 2003, researchers in Germany, Japan and the United States collaborated to successfully demonstrate that after they had injected macrophage activating factor (Gc-MAF) into tumor-bearing mice, it totally eradicated tumors (see the above chart). [Neoplasia 2003 January; 5(1): 32—40]
In 1997 Dr. Yamamoto injected Gc-MAF protein into tumor-bearing mice, with the same startling results. A single enzyme injection doubled the survival of these mice and just four enzyme injections increased survival by 6-fold. [Cancer Research 1997 Jun 1; 57(11):2187-92]
In 1996 Dr. Yamamoto reported that all 52 cancer patients he had studied carried elevated blood plasma levels of the immune inactivating alpha-N-acetylgalactosaminidase enzyme (Nagalase), whereas healthy humans had very low levels of this enzyme. [Cancer Research 1996 Jun 15; 56(12):2827-31]
In the early 1990s Dr. Yamamoto first described how the human immune system is disengaged by enzymes secreted from cancer cells, even filing a patent on the proposed therapy. [US Patent 5326749, July 1994; Cancer Research 1996 June 15; 56: 2827-31]
Activated Gc protein has been used in humans at much higher doses without side effect. This Gc macrophage activating factor (Gc-MAF) has been shown to be effective against a variety of cancers including breast, prostate, stomach, liver, lung, uterus, ovary, brain, skin, head/neck cancer and leukemia.
Although Gc-MAF is also called vitamin D binding protein, the activation of macrophages does not require vitamin D.
It cannot be said the Gc-MAF cancer cure has gone unheralded. Reuters News covered this developing story in January. But the news story still did not receive top billing nor did it fully elucidate the importance of the discovery, actually made years ago, that the human body is capable of abolishing cancer once its immune system is properly activated.
Gc-MAF is a naturally made molecule and is not patentable, though its manufacturing process is patent protected. There is no evidence of any current effort to commercialize this therapy or put it into practice. Should such an effective treatment for cancer come into common practice, the income stream from health insurance plans for every oncology office and cancer center in the world would likely be reduced to the point of financial insolvency and hundreds of thousands of jobs would be eliminated.
The National Cancer Institute estimates cancer care in the U.S. costs ~$72 billion annually (2004). Furthermore, about $55 billion of cancer drugs are used annually, none which have not significantly improved survival rates throughout the history of their use. If a typical cancer patient had to undergo 30 Gc-MAF injections at a cost of $150 per injection, that would cost ~$4500, not counting doctor's office visits and follow-up testing. For comparison, gene-targeted cancer drugs range from $13,000 to $100,000 in cost per year and produce only marginal improvements in survival (weeks to months). [Targeted Oncology 2007 April, 2 (2); 113-19]
Up to this point, the National Cancer Institute is totally silent on this discovery and there is no evidence the cancer care industry plans to quickly mobilize to use this otherwise harmless treatment.
Timothy Hubbell, a biochemist from Cincinnati, first called attention to this discovery and provided consultation on the biochemistry.
Macrophage Activation May Suppress Breast Cancer Metastasis
By David Douglas
NEW YORK FEB 20, 2008 (Reuters Health) — Vitamin D-binding protein-derived macrophage activating factor (Gc-MAF) appears to be an effective immunotherapeutic agent in patients with metastatic breast cancer, according to US and Japanese researchers.
"Serum vitamin D-binding protein — known as Gc protein — is the precursor of the principal macrophage activating factor," lead investigator Dr. Nobuto Yamamoto told Reuters Health.
"Treatment of purified Gc protein with beta-galactosidase and sialidase generates Gc-MAF," he added, "the most potent macrophage activating factor ever discovered, which produces no side effect in humans."
Dr. Yamamoto of the Socrates Institute for Therapeutic Immunology, Philadelphia and colleagues note that in vitro studies show that macrophages treated with Gc-MAF have a highly tumoricidal effect in mammary adenocarcinomas.
To investigate whether the approach can be effective in humans, the researchers studied 16 non-anemic breast cancer patients who were given "a minute amount — 100 nanograms per week — of Gc-MAF," Dr. Yamamoto said.
The researchers found that after 16 to 22 Gc-MAF doses, initially elevated nagalase levels, which reflect the tumor burden, fell to those found in healthy controls. Follow-up over 4 years showed that the level remained low and that there was no tumor recurrence, they report in the January 15th issue of The International Journal of Cancer.
The findings, the team concludes, clearly demonstrate "the importance of focusing cancer immunotherapy on macrophage activation."

Immunotherapy of metastatic colorectal cancer with vitamin D-binding protein-derived macrophage-activating factor, Gc-MAF
Nobuto Yamamoto, Hirofumi Suyama, Hiroaki Nakazato, Nobuyuki Yamamoto and Yoshihiko Koga
Abstract: Serum vitamin D binding protein (Gc protein) is the precursor for the principal macrophage-activating factor (MAF). The MAF precursor activity of serum Gc protein of colorectal cancer patients was lost or reduced because Gc protein is deglycosylated by serum α-N-acetylgalactosaminidase (Nagalase) secreted from cancerous cells. Deglycosylated Gc protein cannot be converted to MAF, leading to immunosuppression. Stepwise treatment of purified Gc protein with immobilized β-galactosidase and sialidase generated the most potent macrophage-activating factor (Gc-MAF) ever discovered, but it produces no side effect in humans. Macrophages treated with Gc-MAF (100 pg/ml) develop an enormous variation of receptors and are highly tumoricidal to a variety of cancers indiscriminately. Administration of 100 nanogram (ng)/human maximally activates systemic macrophages that can kill cancerous cells. Since the half-life of the activated macrophages is approximately 6 days, 100 ng Gc-MAF was administered weekly to eight nonanemic colorectal cancer patients who had previously received tumor-resection but still carried significant amounts of metastatic tumor cells. As Gc-MAF therapy progressed, the MAF precursor activities of all patients increased and conversely their serum Nagalase activities decreased. Since serum Nagalase is proportional to tumor burden, serum Nagalase activity was used as a prognostic index for time course analysis of Gc-MAF therapy. After 32—50 weekly administrations of 100 ng Gc-MAF, all colorectal cancer patients exhibited healthy control levels of the serum Nagalase activity, indicating eradication of metastatic tumor cells. During 7 years after the completion of Gc-MAF therapy, their serum Nagalase activity did not increase, indicating no recurrence of cancer, which was also supported by the annual CT scans of these patients.

We all remember watching Alyssa Milano play the adorable teen Samantha Micelli on "Who's the Boss?" which is why we're so excited to see her looking grown up, gorgeous and glowing! Alyssa recently wore a Maternal America maternity dress to the premiere of "Hall Pass". When you see Alyssa in this Maternal America maternity dress it's easy to see why it was such a huge hit and why we sold out of it so quickly at Belly Dance Maternity!

Date 2005-04-21 Availability unrestricted AbstractThe dissertation conducts a comparative analysis of the roles of the Inspectors-General of Intelligence with specific reference to South Africa. The analysis assessed the roles, functions and structures of the office of the Inspectors-General in the following countries: Canada, Australia, New Zealand, the United States of America, South Africa and equivalent institutions in the United Kingdom. The study was based on a review of existing literature and interviews and written responses with some of the members of the Joint Standing Committee on Intelligence, the former Minister for Intelligence Services, LN Sisulu, the head of the intelligence division of the South African National Defence Force, the former deputy Director-General of the South African Secret Service, judge Gordon who is responsible for interception of communications and the current Inspector-General of Intelligence, Mr ZT Ngcakani. The performance of the office of the Inspector General of Intelligence since 1995 indicates that:
(a) there were ambiguities in the legal framework for the office of the Inspector-General which led to various interpretations by stakeholders on the functioning of the office;
(b) there is still a need to test the impact of the office of the Inspector General on the Services and the public; and
(c) the Inspector-General's office requires other oversight mechanisms to complement its functions.

Desoximetasone topical Side Effects
Not all side effects for desoximetasone topical may be reported. You should always consult a doctor or healthcare professional for medical advice. Side effects can be reported to the FDA here.
For the Consumer
Applies to desoximetasone topical: topical application cream, topical application gel/jelly, topical application ointment, topical application spray
In addition to its needed effects, some unwanted effects may be caused by desoximetasone topical. In the event that any of these side effects do occur, they may require medical attention.
You should check with your doctor immediately if any of these side effects occur when taking desoximetasone topical:Rare
- Flushing or redness of the skin
- redness, blistering, peeling, or loosening of the skin
- unusually warm skin
- Blistering, burning, crusting, dryness, or flaking of the skin
- irritation
- itching, scaling, severe redness, soreness, or swelling of the skin
- redness and scaling around the mouth
- thinning of the skin with easy bruising, especially when used on the face or where the skin folds together (eg, between the fingers)
- thinning, weakness, or wasting away of the skin
Some of the side effects that can occur with desoximetasone topical may not need medical attention. As your body adjusts to the medicine during treatment these side effects may go away. Your health care professional may also be able to tell you about ways to reduce or prevent some of these side effects. If any of the following side effects continue, are bothersome or if you have any questions about them, check with your health care professional:Rare
- Burning, itching, and pain in hairy areas, or pus at the root of the hair
- Acne or pimples
- burning and itching of the skin with pinhead-sized red blisters
- increased hair growth on the forehead, back, arms, and legs
- lightening of normal skin color
- lightening of treated areas of dark skin
- reddish purple lines on the arms, face, legs, trunk, or groin
- softening of the skin
For Healthcare Professionals
Applies to desoximetasone topical: compounding powder, topical cream, topical gel, topical ointment, topical spray
Endocrine side effects have rarely included suppression of the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis. This suppression was more likely when higher potency topical corticosteroids were used over extensive areas and when occlusive dressings were used.[Ref]
Local side effects have commonly included burning, itching, and irritation, especially if applied to denuded skin. Adverse reactions associated with the topical spray include application site dryness, irritation, and pruritus. Long-term use of topical corticosteroids has been associated with skin atrophy and thinning, striae, telangiectasia, subcutaneous hemorrhage, and easy bruising and bleeding. Topical corticosteroid use may also inhibit local immune response, rendering the skin more susceptible to infections. Folliculitis and allergic contact dermatitis have been occasionally reported.[Ref]
Skin atrophy may become evident within one to two months of use and is due to the inhibitory effect of corticosteroids on collagen formation. Skin on the face, axillae, and groin appear to be most susceptible to the adverse, long-term effects of topical desoximetasone. Use of high potency topical corticosteroids on these areas should be minimized or avoided.
Perioral dermatitis or rosacea-like dermatitis has occurred in patients with seborrheic skin type treated with potent topical corticosteroids. This condition may flare temporarily upon discontinuation of topical steroids, prompting patients to continue their use. If topical corticosteroids are discontinued, this flare and the initial dermatitis generally resolves over a few weeks.[Ref]

Your View: At one time, Social Security/Medicare programs sounded good
I have been advised the Social Security program as proposed by President Roosevelt sounded like a good idea – we pay into a fund to help us in our old age. Likewise, President Lyndon Johnson's proposal for his Great Society program sounded like a good idea. What legitimate argument could there be against saving a little for your old age — assisting those in poverty?
Let's look at what we have in this year of our Lord 2013. I, and my various employers, have paid into the SS and Medicare programs more than 65 years (1946 to 2011). But, since other politicians through the years chose to alter the original plan, we find the programs unable to fulfill the original promise made by President Roosevelt. This same political greed has transformed President Johnson's pledge to eliminate poverty into a giant welfare program that rewards poor judgment and encourages those in the program to remain poor.
I believe the survival of the great nation of The United States of American rests solely on the ability of individual citizens to realize politicians are not trustworthy, and it is imperative we remove their authority and ability to make decisions that affect an individual's personal life. The success of this nation was built on freedom for individuals to improve their standard of living through initiative and work, thereby improving our entire society. Bad judgment by individuals results in limited bad results. Bad judgment by politicians will destroy the nation.
Wake up America! It's not too late. Elect politicians who believe in individual morality and freedom. The liberal philosophy of legislating morality serves only one purpose – it seeks to limit the freewill that was bestowed on every human by our Creator God.
God bless.

Elite marathoner Wesley Korir fondly recalls the call
BY DALE BOWMAN For Sun-Times Media September 19, 2012 6:28PM
Marathon runner Wesley Korir talked to Professor Casey Bowles' Chicago marathon class at DePaul University's loop campus. | Rich Hein~Sun-Times
Updated: October 20, 2012 6:20AM
Wesley Korir was in a van on his way back to Louisville when the phone call came in October of 2008.
''Best call I ever got,'' Korir said Monday evening before he spoke to a freshman class at the downtown DePaul campus.
That call led to the entwining of Korir's rise in marathon running and the Bank of America Chicago Marathon.
Now Carey Pinkowski can joke about the events leading to his call.
''Five years ago I won't let him run with the elite runners, and now I am picking him up at the airport,'' the executive race director said.
He's exaggerating only slightly. Korir, a Kenyan who had to start five minutes back with the open runners in 2008, ran the fourth fastest time. Pinkowski called afterward to say they were recognizing his finish, including the $15,000 elite-runner money for fourth.
''This is where my life began as a professional,'' Korir said.
The marathon career of Korir, who graduated from Louisville with a degree in biology, was ignited and his plans to go into pre-med were put on hold.
Korir has run Chicago every year since. Last year he finished second with a personal best (2:06:15). He's won the L.A. Marathon twice and the 2012 Boston Marathon in a tactical race, maybe helped by lessons learned in Chicago.
''No one was more excited than we were after he won the Boston Marathon,'' Pinkowski said.
As much as the Chicago Marathon has become one of the world's top races, it has also become part of the fabric of Chicago as its greatest participatory athletic event.
So much so that DePaul has had a class on it for nearly a decade in its Discover Chicago program for freshmen downtown. Casey Bowles has taught it for six years. For several years before, Andrew Suozzo, author of The Chicago Marathon, taught it.
Pinkowski and Korir spoke to the class on Monday. The half-hour talk and extended Q&A was gripping.
''I used to imagine a green land over there,'' said Korir, who described how they lived on a corn meal and vegetable stew for days on end so they could celebrate Christmas with rice and meat.
''When you open the fridge, say, 'Thank you, God,' ''
he said.
He described running everywhere for his mother and running five miles one way to school. The humble context of his life and his unabashed belief in God's will may explain why Korir is one of the most humble international superstars and one of the most philanthropic.
A student asked what he thought of his chances this year.
''Maybe this is the year,'' Korir said. ''I am very excited. This place is like home to me.''

Diddy's Voice to Do Completely New Thing on Upcoming Album
At a press conference yesterday for his Sean John fashion line, an audibly hoarse Diddy apologized to concerned journalists: "Excuse my voice. I'm finishing my album, which will be out June 28." Then he dropped this exciting tidbit: "I'm doing things with my voice, vocally that I've never done before. Trying some new things. So excuse my voice." Diddy's already rapped, sung, and talked on his albums, so the mind boggles as to what new technique he might be referring to here. Yodeling? Sprechgesang? Tuvan throat singing? We're suddenly intrigued.

i decided today was going to be my primping day......house and laundry are done (because without a couple kids throwing their shit around, things stay cleaner longer), most of my baking is done....and i was looking in the mirror a couple days ago, and thought...holy shit! my eyebrows are fucking HAIRY!!! and my hands looked like crap. i had a gift cetificate to get a manicure, so i did......and......since shaving the bikini area is not working for me....made an appointment to get a bikini wax. because after the first day after shaving, it itches so bad, it's all i can do not to scratch like a fucking ape all night long, which kind of defeats the whole sexy thing. and i found out last year that bikini waxing is NOT a good DIY project. i sucked it up, and got a profesional bikini wax.
so, you guys know, you have let that shit grow out for a little while before you get a wax, right? so i grew it out.
omfg..............................the pain. took my breath away. you how when little bitty kids get hurt, and they turn purple, and take this massive intake of breath, and you know they are going to scream? that's how i felt. except, instead of a scream, it was JESUS!!!!! FUCKING!!!!!HOLYGODDAMNMOTHERFUCKINGSHIT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! and then she ripped the one off the other side. i know i sound like my late father in law, nothing is coherent, i can't make any words except the the bad ones......
FUCK!!!!SONOFABITCH!!!!HOLYFUCKINGJESUSSHIT!!!!!!! FUCKINGGODDAMN!!!! almost as disturbing as the pain is that it looks like she's holding an animal pelt. oh, my god.....i can't breath, and i'm holding my crotch......that sadistic bitch says something to the effect that i'm being a big baby.
fuck you, lady, half my twat is still attached to that thing!!!!! she asks me if i want some ice, in a slightly snide tone. yeah, i'll fucking take some ice. and some morphine. and a shot of vodka. AND A NEW TWAT, WHILE YOUR AT IT, because half of mine is still attached to that strip you just threw away!!!!!!! and then she wants to do my butt. just because...................
well, fuck, i'm going to need that too, eventually, so i don't want you tearing it off!!!! and she convinces me that it's not nearly as bad as the other.
lies. lies,lies,lies..................
i hobbled home. took an advil. i am never fucking doing that again. EVER. i will shave, do the veet, do whatever.......nobody is getting near my nether regions with anything sticky ever the fuck again.
the lady said as i was leaving (hobbling.....trying not to whimper and hold and comfort my poor cootchie) that "next time it won't be so bad....that hair grows out finer and lighter..."
fuck. you......there...will not.....ever...be...a "next time".
have you ever watched this? i cant embed on my phone...
its mrs brown gets a bikini wax.. Its omfg funny...
Here you go! I found it at my local Target, but it was in a gold can
I'm sorry about your measles....that isn't supposed to happen is it? Not that I've ever seriously considered waxing, but......now it's a OH HELL NO.

March 13th 1901
Dear Mother-
As things are very slack in here today I think it will be a good chance to write thee even tho I think there is almost nothing new to be told. Last night Aunt Lilly & the girls turned up all right. Father & I went over to see Aunt Lilly & Ellie in the evening and they seemed to have stood the journey very well. We have been having a great time arranging about the Shakespeare Class. When we received on 2nd day a letter from Aunt Lilly saying that it was very doubtful if they could get parlor car seats for 3rd day and that unless they could certainly have three seats before they started they would not come up until 4th day as Mary & Ellie very likely would be too tired to come; and when at the Tea meeting Esther said she did not feel like coming we became very much more doubtful about the wisdom of trying to have the class
