Skin Disorders Linked to Stress
Scientists have long sought to learn whether and how stress can lead to skin problems. A new study in mice shows that a stress-triggered hormone could worsen or even cause skin disorders like psoriasis and eczema.
The scientists found that blocking the hormone called glucocorticoid—which increases in stressful times—resulted in better skin.
Understanding how glucocorticoids work could help scientists come up with ways to prevent human skin problems triggered by psychological stress, said lead researcher Kenneth Feingold of the Veterans Affairs Medical Center, San Francisco and the University of California at San Francisco.
"Here you have things going on in your mind that affect what's going on in your skin," Feingold told LiveScience.
The outermost layer of your skin, the epidermis, is composed of dead skin cells, which form a permeability barrier to prevent water loss. Every day tens of thousands of these dead cells slough off as tiny flakes. Typically, cells at the bottom of the epidermis grow, move to the surface and differentiate into skin cells to replace the lost flakes.
Previous research showed that psychological stress decreases cell growth and inhibits differentiation into skin cells.
In the new study, scientists subjected hairless mice to stress while either blocking the production of glucocorticoids or blocking the action of the hormone. Some mice weren't treated at all. The stress was created by placing the mice in small cages in constant light with a radio playing for 48 hours.
The two groups of mice treated with a type of glucocorticoid-blocker showed much better skin function compared with untreated and stressed mice.
While the researchers hope the study will lead to a way to treat people who suffer these skin conditions, there is still a long way to go. Besides needing to test the effect in people, blocking glucocorticoids could have negative side effects that are worse than exacerbations of skin disorders.
The research is detailed in the December issue of the American Journal of Physiology-Regulatory, Integrative and Comparative Physiology.

Lab-Strength Toxin, Not Botox, Caused Paralyses
Personal misuse of super-strength botulinum toxin caused a Florida osteopath, his girlfriend, and two of his patients to become paralyzed and hospitalized for months in 2004.
Details of the much-publicized incident—which ended in the practitioner being sentenced to three years in prison—are only now published in this week's issue of the Journal of the American Medical Association.
At the time of the incident, Bach McComb was an osteopathic physician who was continuing to practice in Oakland Park, Fla., after his license had been suspended. In the four cases described, McComb did not use a medical version of Allergan Inc.'s Botox.
Instead, he mistakenly gave himself and the three others four to six injections of a preparation of paralyzing botulinum toxin that was 2,800 times stronger than that typically used on patients, according to the authors of the JAMA article. This formulation was only intended for laboratory work.
The vial's labeling clearly marked the product as not being suitable for human use.
"The fact that clinical practitioners were using an unlicensed product was very disturbing," said Dr. Christopher R. Braden, a medical epidemiologist at the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, and an author of the report. "It needed to be highlighted and the issue dealt with so that it does not recur."
"A 100-microgram vial of toxin taken from the same manufacturer's lot as the toxin administered to the case patients contained a toxin amount sufficient to kill approximately 14,286 adults if disseminated evenly," according to the JAMA report.
McComb, his two patients, Eric and Bonnie Kaplan, and McComb's girlfriend, Alma Hall, were each paralyzed by the time they were admitted to a hospital.
All of the patients eventually survived but were hospitalized for months and required assistance for basic functions such as breathing, speaking and walking. McComb was later sent to prison for three years.
The incident does not reflect on the safety of standard treatments of Botox, stressed Dr. John Canady, a professor of plastic surgery at the University of Iowa and vice president of the American Academy of Plastic Surgeons.
"This was clearly not Botox," Canady said. "More than 3 million people got Botox injections in 2005, which is the last year we have statistics on, and I don't believe any reaction such as this has been reported."
The real Botox is carefully packaged by its manufacturer, Allergan, Canady explained. "Botox comes in a vial that does not have an excessive dose, and it is reconstituted in the same vial," he said. "None of these safeguards were in place" in the Florida case, Canady added.
Basic precautions against such misuse are obvious, Canady said.
"It is important to go to a board-certified plastic surgeon," he said. "You should feel free to ask that person what his track record has been in the use of Botox. Probably the biggest take-home message is that it is important to do your homework before any medical procedure, and that includes Botox."
In addition, "It's absolutely fair to ask what material is being injected into you personally," Canady said. "I don't think it's too much to ask to see the container or the material."
And Braden cautioned consumers about bargain-hunting.
The last time he looked at the Internet, he saw advertisements for "Botox-like" medications. "I would be very suspect of those kinds of products," Braden said.

Marathoners Risk More Skin Cancers
Marathon runners can be proud of their stamina, but all that time outdoors boosts their risk of skin cancer, including the potentially deadly malignant melanoma, according to a study in the Archives of Dermatology.
"We are the first to report this," researcher Christina M. Ambros-Rudolph, MD, tells WebMD in an e-mail interview.
Ambros-Rudolph is a consultant dermatologist at the Medical University of Graz, Austria.
She and her co-researchers, all runners, conducted the study after caring for eight ultra-marathon runners with malignant melanoma over the past decade.
Comparing Runners and Nonrunners
In the study, the researchers evaluated 210 marathon runners, men and women, aged 19 to 71.
They compared the runners' skin cancer risks with those of 210 men and women matched for age and gender who were not long-distance runners.
All participants underwent a skin cancer exam and answered questions about personal and family skin cancer history, as well as changes in skin lesions, sunburn history, sun sensitivity, and physical characteristics such as skin and eye color.
Even though more of the nonrunners had higher sun sensitivity, reflected by their light eyes and sensitive skin types, the runners had more atypical moles and more lesions called solar lentigines—often called "liver spots"—which are associated with a higher risk of malignant melanoma.
Not surprisingly, the more intense the training regimen, the more likely a marathon runner was to have the lesions and moles, Ambros-Rudolph found. While some runners logged about 25 miles a week, others put in more than 44 miles a week.
No lesions suggestive of malignant melanoma were found, but 24 marathoners and 14 from the control group were referred to dermatologists to evaluate growths that looked like nonmelanoma skin cancers (such as basal cell and squamous cell skin cancers).
What's behind the increased risk?
The study reflects what dermatologists see in practice, says Diane Madfes, MD, a New York City dermatologist and a spokeswoman for the Skin Cancer Foundation.
Among her patients who are long-distance runners, Madfes says she has seen many cases of abnormal moles as well as nonmelanoma cancers, though not much melanoma, she says.
Greater ultraviolet exposure, of course, is one explanation for the increased risk, say the Austrian researchers.
Nearly 97% of the runners studied said they wore running shorts and short-sleeved or sleeveless shirts.
Only 56% said they regularly use sunscreen; nearly 2% never do.
Also, long-term, high-intensity exercise suppresses the immune system, the Austrian researchers write. They note that patients who have undergone transplants and had immunosuppressive therapy have an increase in all types of skin cancers.
Reducing the Risk
Ambros-Rudolph advises runners to cover up, train when sunlight exposure is less intense, and slather on the sunscreen—in spray or lotion form. An SPF of 15 or higher is recommended.
The type of product preferred varies by gender, Ambros-Rudolph has observed. "Men usually hate using lotions, and sprays are quicker to apply and easier to apply on hairy skin, while women often suffer from dry skin and love lotions that moisturize at the same time."
Reapplying a water-resistant sunscreen every two hours is important, adds Madfes.
She suggests runners consider bicycling attire, especially the long-sleeved shirts made of newer wicking materials that draw away moisture from sweat.
About 62,000 new cases of malignant melanoma are expected this year in the U.S., along with more than a million nonmelanoma skin cancers, says the American Cancer Society.
About 8,000 are expected to die this year from malignant melanoma; nonmelanoma skin cancers will claim about 2,000 lives.

Australia Launches New Skin Cancer Awareness Campaign
The Australian government has launched an advertising campaign aimed at raising awareness among teenagers of the dangers of skin cancer.
A graphic series of TV ads shows that overexposure to the sun can cause skin cancer in people of all ages.
Australia's chief medical officer, John Horvath, told the Australian Broadcasting Corporation many teenagers are unaware of the facts about skin cancer and they are too young to remember earlier public education campaigns.
"You have to get the message out there again and dispel some of the myths that, 'if you don't get sunburned you'll be all right,' or that a suntan or an olive skin protects you. None of those things are true," Horvath said.

Duct Tape for Warts? Maybe Not
Finally, there may be something duct tape can't fix: the lowly wart.
Despite claims in an earlier study, covering warts with duct tape may not make them vanish faster after all, say Dutch researchers, including Maastricht University's Marloes de Haen, MD.
The Dutch researchers had heard of a study in which duct tape showed promise as a home remedy for warts -- the skin infections caused by the human papillomavirus.
So de Haen's team conducted their own study, now published in the Archives of Pediatrics & Adolescent Medicine.
The study included 103 Dutch kids aged 4-12 who had at least one wart.
For six weeks, half the children wore duct tape over one of their warts, while the rest wore corn pads over one of theirs.
Once a week, the children uncovered the wart, soaked it in warm water for five minutes, then rubbed the wart gently with a pumice stone.
During the study, the warts covered by duct tape were only slightly more likely to heal than those covered by corn pads.
"After six weeks, the wart had disappeared in 16% of the children in the duct tape group, compared with 6% in the placebo [corn pad] group," the researchers write.
That margin was so slim that it may have been due to chance, de Haen's team says.
Most of the kids in the duct tape group -- 81% -- said the tape didn't stick well to their skin. And 15% reported skin irritations, including rashesrashes.
"Further research with longer follow-up would only be useful with a tape that is better sticking," write the researchers.

Scratching Out Poison Ivy Allergy
Plagued by poison ivy allergy? It might be possible to coax the body to build up immunity to poison ivy.
That news comes from researchers including Mary Morris, MD, of Allergy Associates of La Crosse in La Crosse, Wis.
They studied 115 people with a history of severe skin reactions to poison ivy who were treated at their clinic over the past 15 years.
The treatment was a small amount of poison ivy extract placed under the tongue. The goal was to train the body's immune system not to overreact to poison ivy.
The patients took skin tests to see if the treatment helped.
Those tests showed that after treatment, patients had a much higher threshold for allergic skin reactions to poison ivy.
Ninety percent of the patients said they had "far fewer" skin reaction episodes. Patients who said they still got skin rashesrashes reported milder rashes that were quicker to heal than before treatment.
Further tests are needed. If those tests go well, the treatment may help people whose jobs and hobbies expose them to poison ivy, the researchers note.
The findings were presented in Philadelphia at the American College of Allergy, Asthma, and Immunology's annual scientific meeting.

Humira Gets Expanded Approval for Psoriatic Arthritis
The Abbott Laboratories drug Humira (adalimumab) has been given expanded approval by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration to slow structural joint damage in people with psoriatic arthritis. The condition affects people who have skin psoriasis.
Humira was initially approved for overall treatment of psoriatic arthritis in October 2005. It's also been sanctioned to treat moderate-to-severe rheumatoid arthritis, and an inflammatory disease of the spine called ankylosing spondylitis.
Psoriatic arthritis combines symptoms of arthritis—including joint pain and inflammation—with those of psoriasis, including painful red lesions on the skin. Clinical testing on 313 people who hadn't responded to NSAID therapy found that people given Humira had significantly less joint damage than study participants who took a non-medicinal placebo, Abbott said in a statement.
People who took Humira also demonstrated increased ability to perform daily functions such as getting dressed, walking, and climbing stairs, the company said.

New Study Finds Allergy-Like Reaction May Trigger Rosacea Bumps and Pimples
The bumps (papules) and pimples (pustules) of rosacea, a poorly-understood facial disorder affecting an estimated 14 million Americans, may be the result of an allergy-like reaction to environmental and emotional triggers, according to new study results presented at the National Rosacea Society (NRS) research workshop during the annual meeting of the Society for Investigative Dermatology and reported in Rosacea Review.
"We are very excited about these findings because they may provide the basis for improving the treatment and management of this condition," said Dr. Richard Gallo, chief of the division of dermatology at the University of California-San Diego and lead investigator of the NRS-funded study. "By defining the process leading to the inflammation, new medications might be developed to block these effects."
Dr. Gallo explained that when the normal immune system is faced with any of a broad range of potential dangers—such as sun exposure, emotional stress, heat and spicy foods, among many others—receptors recognize potential threats and protect the body by prompting the production of protective substances that isolate and neutralize any harmful effects. With rosacea, however, these protective substances turn the body on itself like overzealous guards, leading to inflammation.
Using advanced mass spectrometry technology to analyze the biochemical composition of proteins in rosacea patients, the researchers discovered an abnormality in the production of protective molecules known as cathelicidins, Dr. Gallo said. In normal patients, the cathelicidins are found in a form that is inactive and would not lead to bumps and pimples. In rosacea patients, the forms of cathelicidins are different and lead to skin inflammation. The cause of this abnormality in cathelicidins seems to be due to an equally important problem in rosacea—an overabundance of yet another substance, called kallikrein, which can spur dormant cathelicidins into action.
"It appears that the combination of these two substances at abnormally high levels is a double whammy for rosacea patients," Dr. Gallo noted.
The researchers recently completed the picture when they were able to demonstrate that this process is linked to the actual formation of rosacea signs and symptoms. The skin of mice injected with the cathelicidins found in rosacea patients showed a dramatic inflammatory response—including bumps and pimples—while mice injected with normal cathelicidins showed no inflammation, either visually or under a microscope.
"The next step is to test these findings in human subjects through various therapeutic interventions," Dr. Gallo said. "As we gain a thorough understanding in humans, we can look for new medications that block this process in order to treat or prevent the inflammation associated with rosacea."
Rosacea is a chronic disorder that primarily affects the cheeks, nose, chin or forehead, and is often characterized by flare-ups and remissions. It typically begins as a flushing or redness that comes and goes, and visible blood vessels may also appear. Inflammatory bumps and pimples often develop, and in severe cases, the nose may become swollen and enlarged from excess tissue.
In addition to long-term medical therapy to bring the condition under control and maintain remission, patients are advised to keep a diary to identify and avoid lifestyle and environmental factors that may affect their individual cases. Some of the most common rosacea triggers include sun exposure, emotional stress, hot or cold weather, wind, heavy exercise, alcohol, hot baths and spicy foods.
Dual Drug Therapy Effective Against Pemphigus Vulgaris
A new combination treatment offers hope to people who have the blistering, potentially fatal skin disease known as pemphigus vulgaris.
By combining the cancer-fighting drug rituximab with intravenous immune globulin, Harvard doctors have discovered a therapy that can effectively treat people with cases of pemphigus vulgaris that haven't responded to other treatments.
"We got a home run with this combination," said study co-author Dr. Marshall Posner, medical director of the head and neck oncology program at the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute and Harvard Medical School.
"These patients were extremely ill and on multiple medications," he said. "This therapy resulted in complete eradication of the disease for nine patients." The remaining two patients in the study required additional doses of the treatment before they, too, went into remission. All of those involved in the study had sustained remissions, some as long as 37 months, by the end of the study.
Results of the study are published in the Oct. 26 issue of the New England Journal of Medicine.
Pemphigus vulgaris is a rare autoimmune disease that causes the skin cells to stop adhering to one another. Blisters and lesions form, usually beginning in the mouth and then spreading to the skin.
"Before the discovery of corticosteroids, it was fatal within five years. People lost the surface of their skin, and died horrible deaths," explained Dr. John Stanley, chairman of the department of dermatology at the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine. "This is an instructive disease about the power of the immune system. While it's usually used for good, it can actually destroy you."
Stanley co-authored a review article in the same issue of the journal about pemphigus and other dermatological diseases.
Currently, the first line of treatment for this devastating skin condition is prednisone, a corticosteroid. While it's often an effective treatment, it has numerous side effects that can be serious, so people generally can't stay on high doses for a long time. Other medications used are immune-suppressing agents that also carry the risk of serious side effects, such as infection.
Posner said most deaths from pemphigus occur as a result of immune-system suppression. But without suppressing the immune system, people with pemphigus would continue to develop blisters and erosions in their skin, giving bacteria an easy entry into the body.
Another treatment option is intravenous immune globulin. This option is usually reserved for those who don't respond to the other treatment options. Stanley said scientists aren't sure how this therapy works, but it may be that it replaces the immune-system antibodies that are attacking the skin cells with healthy antibodies.
For most people, these treatments options have proved lifesaving, and people with the disease often do well, said Stanley.
However, there are people who don't respond to any of the currently available treatments. And, the 11 people treated in the new Harvard study fell into that category. None of the available treatments had worked for them, and the disease was covering more than 30 percent of their body's surface area.
Each study volunteer received two cycles of rituximab weekly for three weeks. During the fourth week, they received a dose of intravenous immune globulin. Then, they received monthly infusions of both rituximab and IV immune globulin for four months.
During the initial treatment, nine of the 11 study participants went into remission for an average of 32 months. The remaining two required additional treatments about six months after treatment, but subsequently went back into remission.
While previous research on rituximab has sometimes found serious side effects, such as allergic reaction, Posner said there were virtually no side effects seen in this trial.
He said he thinks this drug combination would likely be helpful in less severe cases of pemphigus vulgaris, and he added that it could potentially be useful for treating other autoimmune diseases, such as rheumatoid arthritis, systemic lupus and type 1 diabetes.
"This therapy offers hope for this disease, and it could lead the way to treatment for other diseases that have a big impact on people's lives -- it needs to be investigated in other diseases so we can see how it works in other situations," Posner said.
Stanley said he doubted that rituximab would become a first-line treatment for pemphigus vulgaris anytime soon because the medication is quite costly and insurance companies would likely balk at paying for an expensive drug that isn't FDA approved specifically for treating pemphigus. The problem, he added, is that because pemphigus is so rare, it would be difficult to conduct a large enough trial to get such approval.
But, Posner suggested that while the rituximab/immune globulin combination treatment is more expensive initially, a cost analysis comparing all of the costs, including hospitalizations, might find the combination treatment is the cheaper alternative in the long run.

FastDeliveryToYou | 19/12/2010 | See all FastDeliveryToYou's reviews (5) There's been so many female singer songwriters in the last few years, but she's by far one of the decent ones. With well crafted pop tunes giving a nostalgic feel good time, it's like all your favourite 80's soundtracks but without the cheese and with a lot more credibility.It's been so long since I've actually enjoyed listening to an album the whole way through without skipping. Buy it on CD as it's an album worth owning in your collection, with pretty cool artwork.The NME wrote that she's the 'Cyndi Lauper of the American Apparel age' which I thought was spot on.Well worth the money.

Psych nursing in Phila area
- 0Nov 5, '12 by chucksterCan anyone provide some guidance and information relative to pysch nursing positions in the Phila area. What I am looking for is some information relative to hospitals or other institutions with psych facilities that may be hiring RNs. The only hospital with decent-sized psych unit that I'm aware of is Mercy Philadelphia but they seem to have a fairly stable nursing workforce and rarely have open positions.
- 0Nov 9, '12 by chucksterQuote from ScarlettzThanks Scarlettz. Checked both but neither seems to have any RN openings. Plenty of spots for PMHNPs though . . .Crozer Chester Medical Center and Mercy Fitzgerald Hospital (in Darby) also have psychiatric units. However, it doesn't seem like any of those hospitals are hiring. It's worth a try, though.

The Case for Increased Funding for Prevention of Sexually Transmitted Infections
12:31 pm in Uncategorized by RH Reality Check
Written by Stephanie S. Arnold Pang for RH Reality Check. This diary is cross-posted; commenters wishing to engage directly with the author should do so at the original post.
This article is published in partnership with the National Coalition of STD Directors (NCSD) as part of our joint series on STD Awareness.
Sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) remain a major epidemic in the United States. Each year, there are approximately 19 million new cases of STDs, approximately half of which go undiagnosed and untreated, making the United States the country with the highest STD rate in the industrialized world. STDs cost the U.S. health care system $17 billion every year — and that number doesn't even take into account the costs to individuals of STDs, the short-term and long-term consequences, including infertility, increased risk of acquiring HIV, and certain cancers.
And it is because of this, I am here to make the case for increased funding for the Division of STD Prevention (DSTDP) at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
Now I am not an advocate who lives under a rock. I know these are fiscally-challenging times, to put it mildly. I know that when a congressional staffer says (as I did when I worked for a Member of Congress), "Flat funding is the new increase" that he or she speaks the truth.
Yet, these statements chafe me. It is not the factual basis of this statement that I take issue with, but the idea that this is something we should all accept. Investments in our country's public health are investments in our country's healthy future. These investments are crucial not only for maintaining healthy individuals, but these are the investments in the infrastructure that we rely on when there is an outbreak or an unforeseen disaster. And I refuse to believe that we live in a county where it's okay to let people fall through the cracks. Because in 2009, African Americans had 20 times the reported gonorrhea rates than whites. And that is just one alarming statistic. I could list many, many more that highlight the sexual health disparities in this country.

Aussie Dollar Enjoys Safe Haven Appeal
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- The Australian dollar soared to its highest post-float levels Friday.
The currency, floated in 1983, was rising 0.3% to USD 1.02420 after hitting the record high of $1.0294. It last hit a high on Dec. 31 at $1.0257.
A multitude of forces were driving the Australian dollar higher, including the country's strong mining sector amid soaring commodity prices, increased risk appetite as European and U.S. equities rebound, cross-border merger and acquisition flows as evidenced by the complex buyout transaction between European insurer AXA ( AXAHY ) and Australian financial services firm AMP for AXA Asia-Pacific. Another factor was speculation of strong demand from Australian insurers in the face of big claims relating to the destructive floods.
Mining giant BHP Billiton (BHP) has unveiled a $13 billion investment to expand its coal and iron ore operations in Australia, further spurring optimism about the country's mining sector.In the U.S., data from the last few weeks points to promising signs of solid economic recovery in the country. On Friday, the government said fourth-quarter 2010 gross domestic product increased more than expected. Also helping the currency was the weakening of the yen following a coordinated selloff of the currency by central banks from the G-7 group of industrialized nations last week to curtail appreciation. In addition, automatic buy orders kicked in with the Australian dollar's advance. Investors who no longer view the Aussie dollar as a risky asset; but rather, a global safe-haven currency that also has high yields in a country with strict fiscal policy and high interest rates, offered another form of support. This trend has gained momentum because traditional safe-haven assets such as gold remain expensive.

William Budge (May 1, 1828 – March 1, 1919)[1] was a member of the Council of Fifty as well as the Idaho Legislature and was a mission president and stake president in The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS Church).
Budge was born in Lanark, Scotland but in his teen years moved to Glasgow for employment. At the age of 20 he joined the LDS Church. He was called as a missionary in 1851 and continued in that position until about 1860. During these years Budge served for a time as president of the Swiss Mission, as district president in Glasgow and five different districts in England, and also preached the gospel in Italy and Germany. Among other assignments, in 1855 the president of the European Mission Franklin D. Richards sent Budge to Saxony to respond to inquires about the LDS Church from Karl G. Maeser.
In 1860 Budge emigrated to Utah Territory. He later moved to Bear Lake County, Idaho. From 1878 to 1880 Budge was president of the European Mission, and in 1877 as well as in 1870 to 1906 he served as president of the Bear Lake Stake.[1] From 1906 to 1918 Budge was the president of the LDS Church's Logan Utah Temple.
Budge also served as a member of the Idaho Legislature.
One of the Helaman Halls at Brigham Young University is named for Budge.

Product description
Join the world's most famous travelling reporter in two exciting adventures as he heads for the Congo? The young reporter Tintin and his faithful dog Snowy set off on assignment to Africa. But a sinister stowaway follows their every move and seems set on ensuring they come to a sticky end. Tintin and Snowy encounter witch doctors, hostile tribesmen, crocodiles, boa constrictors and numerous other wild animals before solving the mystery and getting their story. Join the most iconic character in comics as he embark on an extraordinary adventure spanning historical and political events, and thrilling mysteries. Still selling over 100,000 copies every year in the UK and having been adapted for the silver screen by Steven Spielberg and Peter Jackson in 2011, The Adventures of Tintin continue to charm more than 80 years after they first found their way into publication. Since then an estimated 230 million copies have been sold, proving that comic books have the same power to entertain children and adults in the 21st century as they did in the early 20th.

Author information
Herge (Georges Remi) was born in Brussels in 1907. Over the course of 54 years he completed 23 albums of The Adventures of Tintin series, which is now considered to be one of the greatest, if not the greatest, comics series of all time. With translations published in over 80 languages, more than 230 million copies sold worldwide and a Hollywood movie to its name, Tintin dominates the Comics and Graphic Novels chart even today. Sadly, Herge died in 1983, leaving his 24th album, Tintin and Alph-Art, unfinished, but his hero continues to be one of the most iconic characters in both adult and children's fiction.
Customer reviews
By a Book Depository customer 10 Dec 2008
Tintin is a milestone in the European comics and in children litterature as well, just like Jules Verne was in his time. But don't get it wrong: the great cycle of Tintin's adventures starts with The Blue Lotus (you'll want to read The Pharaoh's Cigars in order to get the beginning of the story), in which book Herg, thanks to his Chinese friend (in real life) Chang Chong-Zhen, wrote and draw the kind of realistic yet humoristic story that would make the real grandeur of Tintin.
For those who read french or dutch (hoping an english translation will be published one day), I really advise to read "Herg: Son of Tintin" by Benoit Peeters.

The San Antonio Spurs send some players home: Spurs head coach Gregg Popovich elects to send home Tony Parker, Tim Duncan and Manu Ginobili to rest them from a long road stretch. This rendered them unavailable for Thursday night's game against the Miami Heat. NBA Commissioner David Stern took note of this and promised "substantial sanctions will be forthcoming." The Heat won 105-100.

Amare Stoudamire out after postgame injury: After last night's Game 2 in Miami, New York Knicks forward Amare Stoudamire punches a fire extinguisher case, lacerating his left hand badly enough to require stitches. The Knicks lost to the Heat, 104-94 and are down 2-0 heading back to New York for Game 3 Thursday night.

"I'd hide it if I had a concussion": In a recent poll of a few NFL players conducted by the Associated Press, slightly more than half said that they'd try to play through injuries, including head injuries, than take themselves out. However, more than two-thirds also favored being shielded from their own instincts: they favor having independent neurologists on the sidelines of games making decisions to remove players they think have sustained a head injury of some degree.

Who wants to bet Tiger never set a golf course on fire like this?: Over the weekend, a golfer at Shady Canyon Golf Course caused a fire when he inadvertently struck a rock while swinging his club in the rough. Ground and air units responded to the blaze, which scorched 12 acres before being put out.

Stafon Johnson dislocates ankle: Tennessee Titans rookie RB Stafon Johnson suffered a major setback in the third quarter of last night's pre-season game against the Seahawks, being carted off the field after dislocating his ankle following a short reception. Johnson was signed as an undrafted free agent out of USC; this is the guy who had 275 lbs. of weights crush his larynx requiring emergency surgery to save his life last year.

Considering how bad Morris was, the fact that Brady Hoke is still employed at the University of Michigan nearly 48 hours after the game makes me think the AD should join the list of those who should be relieved of their duties as well.

An interesting historical find: a newsreel of the 1919 World Series, Cincinnati Reds vs. Chicago White Sox. These are excerpts taken from various games and compiled into this report. For a perspective, this was assembled before word of the "Black Sox Scandal" broke and even includes a play where a Sox pitcher bobbles what arguably should've been an easy double-play ball. (Note: the edges of the film are noticeably degraded and do distract a little from the viewing)

Raiders maybe, but no chance with NE if his background reveals even a tiny bit of gang-related activity. Hernandez has taught them well.
No chance with anyone, likely, regardless of his talent. Hernandez schooled 32 NFL owners and GMs on what it's like to have a player with alleged gang issues and is known as a locker room distraction. It's a lesson that's going to stick for awhile, so it's tough to imagine any team picking him up for awhile.

Can anyone see a scenario where the NFL or the Dolphins allow Jr to play another down of football ?
Incognito's contract ends after this season; smart money's on the following: not only has he already played his last down in Miami, even if Goodell allows him to play in the future he's likely played his last professional down, period.

Yes, that's the same umpire, but unless you're a time travelling person, that was over 3 years ago (June 2010).
Yep, I know better than to argue with the grum. I had the right game, the pitcher (Armando Galarraga), but had the date wrong. Though I could've sworn it happened not so long ago. Guess the chronometer in my TARDIS needs repair.

It's been six years since Pikmin 2 came out, and we still haven't seen one bit of this game. I'm beginning to doubt if it will ever even be released. Sure, the Pikmin games fit fine with the image Nintendo was trying to make for themselves in the GameCube era. But now, I just don't see this game fitting with what Nintendo is today.
This game doesn't exist does it?

Max Planck Innovation GmbH, the technology transfer organization of the Max Planck Society, awards an exclusive license for LifeAct to ibidi GmbH, a provider of cell analysis products, located in Martinsried near Munich. The novel peptide allows for actin, an important protein, to be made visible in living cells without disturbing the actin dependent processes. Therefore, cells as well as the development of various diseases can be better researched.
All higher cells depend on their cytoskeleton. This extremely flexible and highly dynamic structure gives the cells its shape, but is also an essential component in cell division as well as other fundamental processes of life. As a structural protein, actin is a component of the cytoskeleton, which can form elongated filaments that are used as supply routes for molecular loads in the cell among other things. Thereby, actin plays an important role in a wide array of functions such as in the development of organs and the movement of cells. Defects in the cytoskeleton are associated with various diseases such as polycystic kidney diseases and invasive tumors. Thus, the study of the cytoskeleton and in particular the study of actin is a priority in the biomedical research.
In the past, markers were available that allowed visualization of actin, but also interfered with its activity. Whereas the actin marker LifeAct, now licensed by ibidi, attaches itself to the structural protein without limiting its function. LifeAct, only 17 amino-acids long, is linked to a fluorescent dye, which makes it possible to follow the development and movement in living cells. The marker has already been used successfully in yeast cells, kidney cells, white blood cells, neuron and a variety of other cell types and tissues. A research team led by the biologists Dr. Roland Wedlich-Sldner and Dr. Michael Sixt from the Max Planck Institute for Biochemistry developed the marker. In future, ibidi will offer the peptide in variou

CES Sexy: LG gives LCD panels racing stripes
Well, I guess LCD technology has pretty much peaked, if this new LG set is any evidence. Sure it's got all the hot specs of today — 1080p resolution, a 120 Hz refresh rate, and a 20,000:1 contrast ratio (right) — but the company rep just couldn't stop talking about that red stripe on the rim. Uh, nice I guess, though I thought it was pretty sexy already. The "accent" is vaguely reminiscent of the company's phones, just in case you ever worried whether your cellphone matched your TV set. This one's a 42-incher, but the design will be available in other sizes, too. No prices yet.
What do you guys think? Is this totally silly or actually kind of cool? Comment away.

New Saigon is an old standby on Federal Boulevard
New Saigon may not be the oldest Vietnamese restaurant in town, but it comes close -- nearby T-Wa Inn opened in 1984, beating New Saigon by just a year. Current owners Thai Nguyen and Ha Pham took it over in 1987, and their kitchen has been turning out a vast sampling of Vietnam's culinary canon ever since.
Mark Manger
The building that holds New Saigon hasn't changed much over the years, save for an early expansion and, just last month, the addition of the New Saigon Bakery & Deli next door, which is owned and run by Nguyen and Pham's daughter. But the neighborhood has definitely shifted -- pho shops now line Federal Boulevard, for example. Still, New Saigon remains one of the few spots in town where you can sample a wide range of Vietnamese dishes, moving far beyond noodle soups to frogs legs and other rarities.
For this week's review, I stopped by New Saigon to see how it's fared over the years. Find out about the food (and read about one of the town's odder servers), when the review is posted here tomorrow.

4 Steps for Extreme Feedback
by Steve Farber - Nov, 2014
It's the oldest skill in the management texts: listen to your employees. Seek their input. But it's not enough to ask for feedback; you have to be genuinely interested in the response—especially if you think you won't like it. Those posing as leaders seek feedback because HR has ordered them to do it, not because they're really interested. Extreme Leaders will not only use 360-degree assessments (which can be powerful tools...
What I Learned About Influence from Peter Drucker
by Marshall Goldsmith - Nov, 2014
"The great majority of people tend to focus downward. They are occupied with efforts rather than results. They worry over what the organization and their superiors 'owe' them and should do for them. And they are conscious above all of the authority they 'should have.' As a result they render themselves ineffectual."—Peter Drucker You can make a positive difference, even when you do not have direct line authority. Here ar...

How Important is Praise in Business?
by Dale Kurow, M.S. - Sep, 2014
Many psychologists would agree that positive reinforcement is significantly more effective than punishment. Many executives would agree employee recognition leads to an increased bottom line. Many doctors would agree that the release of dopamine in the brain whenever we hear something we enjoy is a powerful thing. And then there are the studies. Ragan.com shares a collection of studies that sets the record straight, direct...

Do Your Colleagues See You the Same Way You Do?
by Dale Kurow, M.S. - Aug, 2014
Have you heard the saying that goes something like this: if you don't know who the office jerk is, it's probably you? You might be a well-intentioned manager that feels like a team player, but there might be something about your approach that prohibits your employees and colleagues from agreeing. Columbia Business School suggests those who are rough around the edges at work don't necessarily know it. "Finding the middle...

Why You Need to Close Your Open Offices Now
by Alexandra Levit - Jun, 2014
The open office trend has reached a fever pitch, with nearly 70 percent of American workers now residing in them. But is an open office really the best way to go? A few months back in the New Yorker, Maria Konnikova reported that open offices don't actually do what they were designed to do, which is to facilitate communication and idea flow. She said: In 2011, the organizational psychologist Matthew Davis reviewed more...
How to Create a Culture of Fearless Innovation
by Robin Fisher Roffer - Dec, 2013
Quality and customer service are no longer differentiators. Innovation is what creates a sustainable competitive advantage. I'm feeling like the word "marketing" should be retired. I know this may sound like blasphemy to most of you, but what I see driving success in large corporations and in small businesses is not traditional marketing, it's culture. The American Marketing Association defines marketing as "an activity,...

Lovelyish's first post ever was November 6, 2008... which means that we are a Scorpio.
According to Wikipedia: "People born with the sun in Scorpio are very determined, reserved, loyal, and secretive. They are firm and somewhat proud, and capable of unmistakable traits of character that cause them to be either very much liked or very much disliked."
What about you... what's your sign?

LEBANON JUNCTION - A Louisville man was killed in a crossover accident on Interstate 65 Wednesday morning.
Kentucky State Police reported that Paul Waddle was parked in the right shoulder of southbound I-65 near mile 106 when his Toyota was struck.
A Waste Management dumptruck driven by Steven Barnes of Lebanon Junction was traveling northbound. Police said the dumptruck crossed the median for unknown reasons.
Waddle was pronounced dead at the scene by the Bullitt County Coroner's office.
The judges watched and listened as a number of contestants took the stage Saturday for a karaoke competition with winners being the American Cancer Society's Relay for Life.
PBI Bank hosted this second annual fund-raiser.
The Bullitt County Relay for Life is scheduled to take place Friday, May 15, at North Bullitt High School.
HILLVIEW – Alternative Adult Day Health Care Center members enjoyed a special senior prom dance combined with a St. Patrick's Day theme.
The special guests for the party included 18 members from the University of Louisville Sigma Kappa sorority.
Sigma Kappa recognizes the National Alzheimer's Association as one of its organization's philanthropies. U of L Sigma Kappa foundations chair Maggie Varner said the national sorority was one of the biggest donors to the Alzheimer's Research Foundation.
ATLANTA -- Troy Beam has earned certification as a "Travel Marketing Professional" (TMP) after completing the three-year program of the Southeast Tourism Society Marketing College.
Beam was one of 57 new TMPs recognized at the STS spring meeting in Montgomery, Ala. The STS Marketing College started in 992, and 473 people have earned TMP certification.
He is group sales manager for the Shepherdsville-Bullitt County Tourism and Convention Commission.
SHEPHERDSVILLE – It didn't take a Bullitt County Grand Jury long Wednesday to hand down a guilty verdict for convicted sex offender Perry Bennington.
And it took even less time for the 12 jurors to sentence Bennington to 155 years in prison – the maximum sentence – for 14 separate sexual abuse-related charges.
It was a decision about which Bennington showed no emotion.
Bennington, 59, was found guilty in Bullitt Circuit Court on charges of first and third degree sodomy, first and third degree rape, first degree sexual abuse and incest.
SHEPHERDSVILLE – What natural disaster has Bullitt County not suffered in the past 20 years?
How about a break of the Taylorsville dam?
That could be the next exercise conducted by the Bullitt County Emergency Management Agency.
Director Mike Phillips is looking toward the federal government to provide some assistance in making that mock disaster happen.
SHEPHERDSVILLE – City officials are moving closer to deciding whether a much-discussed civil service ordinance needs to be altered.
Councilman Larry Hatfield has made it known that he is not pleased with the current provisions.
Currently, the mayor does not have the right to terminate or demote any employee, including supervisors, without being subject to a hearing before the civil service board.
Hatfield said he had talked with all but one supervisor and they seemed to be OK with his proposal.
MOSUL, IRAQ – Fighting in Iraq claimed a third man with ties to Lebanon Junction Friday with the death of 24-year-old Army Staff Sgt. Gary Lee Woods, Jr.
Woods, a Bullitt Central High School graduate and former ROTC cadet who completed basic training at Fort Knox five years ago, was inside one of two Humvees hit by the blast from a truck loaded with explosives, his father, Gary Woods Sr., said.
The National Weather Service in Louisville has issued a red flag warning for Bullitt County through 6 p.m. Monday.
The combination of windy conditions along with low humidity and high temperatures could result in dangerous fire situations.
At 3:40 p.m. Nichols Fire units responded to the Fort Knox area near Mt. Eden to assist with a field fire. Southeast Bullitt Fire units were called on standby.
A large amount of Kentucky has been placed under the red flag warning.
Check www.pioneernews.net for further updates.
SHEPHERDSVILLE – An individual connected with a recent rash of vehicle break-ins has been arrested by city police.
Shepherdsville resident Joseph A. Hauber, 18, was arrested April 1 and charged with four felony counts of theft by unlawful taking from automobiles.
He was released from the Bullitt County Detention Center April 2 on a $5,000 surety bond.
Shepherdsville Police Capt. Kenneth Bernardi said Hauber is believed to have stolen between $17,000 and $18,000 in goods from vehicles parked in various areas of Shepherdsville.
