"Dirty" Cancer Fighter: Medicine's Next Big Thing?
A single cell causes it and it kills millions of people around the world every year
Me: Headline: 'Democrat Congressman: Jews are Like Termites' "A Democratic member of the House Armed Services Committee compared Jewish Israeli settlers to termites on Monday while speaking at an event sponsored by an anti-Israel organization that supports boycotts of the Jewish state. Rep. Hank Johnson (D., Ga.) launched into a tirade against Israel and its policies toward the Palestinians, comparing Jewish people who live in disputed territories to "termites" that destroy homes. Johnson also compared Israeli Defense Minister Avigdor Lieberman to Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump, a remark that drew vocal agreement from those in the room. "There has been a steady [stream], almost like termites can get into a residence and eat before you know that you've been eaten up and you fall in on yourself, there has been settlement activity that has marched forward with impunity and at an ever increasing rate to the point where it has become alarming,"

What I Learned in the Shoe Store
Mr. Hill taught me more than just selling.
When our family moved across town in the early 1960s, I lost my boyhood friends and plunged into a lonely period of teenage insecurity. For months, I moped around the house until my dad finally made me get a job sacking groceries at the local supermarket on the southeast side of Dallas. I hated it.
One scorching day, as I carried shoppers' bags out to the parking lot, I looked at the large shoe store across the street. The store had a cool, pristine appearance, with big, awning-shaded windows filled with shiny new shoes. I had always wondered what it would be like to work in air-conditioned comfort, so I decided to find out.
Days later, wearing my best clothes, I summoned all my courage and stepped into that shoe store. A lanky tower of a man greeted me, his gray hair combed straight back and his face glowing with a sincere smile. He wore silver-rimmed glasses, a trim navy blue suit, a conservative tie and a pair of impeccably buffed black wing tips. I was glad I'd dressed up.
"Looking for work?" he asked.
"Yes, sir," I answered, unable to imagine how he knew that.
"I saw you weren't browsing the displays, so I figured as much," he said, still reading my mind. "I'm John Hill, the store manager. We could use another hand around here. Do you like dealing with people?"
The question caught me flatfooted. I could count on one hand the friends I'd made since we moved to this neighborhood. To me, kids around here seemed cliquish and unreceptive, and I was near the point of saying "who needs 'em" to the entire lot. I dug my toe into the carpet. "I suppose," I answered with little conviction.
"That's not much of an answer," he said, placing a hand on my shoulder. "Half of selling is putting people at ease. If they get the feeling you really care, they'll respond to that. They'll actually become reluctant not to buy from you. But if they get the impression you'd rather be doing something else, they'll be out the door before you know it."
He made it sound so simple. Something told me I might learn a great deal from this man who seemed to like everyone.
For whatever reason, Mr. Hill hired me that afternoon. My first days on the job were spent listening to the dos and don'ts. "We don't do things like other shoe stores," Mr. Hill said, pointing toward the busy boulevard outside. "Folks have to go to a little extra trouble to come over here, so we try to give them something extra in return. Think you could do that?"
My self-doubts crept to the surface. "What if you don't have what they want?" I asked, surprised at my own boldness.
Judging by the look on his face, I must have committed sacrilege. "Never tell them that!" he insisted. "Instead, show them what you do have."
Content continues below ad
"But, what if…"
"Show, don't tell," he interrupted. "You can't always offer people what they want. But you can always offer something. Whether they accept it is up to them. But if you show an empty hand, you take away that choice, and they have to look elsewhere. Just remember that you've always got something that will make a person's eyes light up. You just have to figure out what that is."
He then took me on a storewide tour and explained the pay system: hourly wages plus a percentage of sales. The biggest commission was on shoe polish, with purses and accessories close behind.
Next, we pretended I was a customer just arriving. "Welcome to our store," Mr. Hill said, genially shaking my hand. He escorted me to a seat, pulled up a stool and, before I knew it, gently removed my shoes. "Would you mind standing on this?" he asked. Then he measured both feet.
"Aren't you even going to ask what I want?" I said when I sat down again.
"Yes, now that I'm in control," Mr. Hill replied. "See, you're sitting in a comfortable chair with your shoes off. You can't just get up and leave, so this is when I ask people what they have in mind."
"Why don't you just ask my size?" I said.
"Never ask someone's size!" he insisted, shaking a finger at me. "The purpose of measuring is to establish in the customer's mind that you know what you're doing. That gives them confidence in your recommendations."
Confidence. It was hardly my best asset. But Mr. Hill certainly had it, and I was determined to see how it worked. As the days passed, I became his shadow. I watched as he defused the grouchiest of customers by making jokes. Often, they were about his skinniness. "You know," he'd say, patting his bony rear end, "if I don't quit eating so much, I'm going to get too big for this darn stool."
Once, I watched as he worked with two women shopping together. He brought them not only the shoes they had asked for, but several other pairs. While they were trying out the requested shoes in front of the full-length mirror, he handed them the matching purse. "Let's see how this looks," he said, almost innocently. Then he displayed other shoes in a neat semicircle around his stool. Next to each pair he placed a handbag. Who's to say what those customers had in mind when they walked in that day? But when they walked out, each had several pairs of shoes, a couple of handbags and a very satisfied smile.
"If you give people only what they came for," he said during a lull, "then you haven't sold anything. Give them that, then sell them something. It's good for the store's volume, it's good for your commission and it's good for you. Selling gives you a feeling of self-confidence, and once you've discovered it, it's yours for life. You'll use it in more ways than you can imagine, because everything we do involves some form of sales."

Soon after, when it was time to assist my first customer, the butterflies swirled in my stomach. Mr. Hill pulled me aside and offered his assurances. "Just treat them like you'd want to be treated, and the rest will take care of itself," he said.
After seating a woman and her daughter, measuring their feet and showing them matching suede penny loafers, I suggested a water-repellent spray and a wire brush for maintaining the nap. The woman bought everything, and I don't know who was more pleased—me or Mr. Hill.
Though it was hardly an overnight transformation, I became a marginally gifted salesman, thanks to Mr. Hill's example. It was a rare day that I didn't learn some new technique from him.
Once, I even saw him suggest to a rather large woman that the size-nine shoe she was trying on was actually the size six she had requested. With a puzzled look on his face, he turned the shoe over and showed it to her again. "They must have stamped it upside down," he explained with a silly grin.
Obviously amused, the woman bought the shoes and vowed to come back soon.
As the months lapsed into years, Mr. Hill became more like a wise uncle than a boss. His guidance touched many facets of my life—from career counseling to the torment of teenage romance. "I wish my parents could be more like you," I told him one quiet evening when we had the store to ourselves.
Mr. Hill dropped his chin and peered at me over his glasses. He had met my folks on several occasions and thought highly of them. "And how's that?" he asked.
"You and I can talk about anything and you never get upset. I can't do that with them."
For a long moment his eyes drifted from mine. Finally, he turned back to me and said, "It's difficult to be a good parent and a good friend at the same time, so don't be too hard on your folks. They're fine people."
Mr. Hill was right. I had learned a lot under his tutelage, but I'd taken little of it home with me. Perhaps, if I were to act more like an adult, they'd treat me that way too. I'll never forget the look on their faces a few days later when I volunteered to stay home with my baby sister so they could go out.
I continued working at that shoe store until it was time to leave for college. Never once did I dread going to work—until the day it was time to say goodbye. With the others already gone for the night, I walked up to Mr. Hill and swallowed hard. "You've done an awful lot for me," I said. "I'll always appreciate it."
When he looked at me, his face was flush, his eyes slightly moist. "I didn't do anything," he said, flashing a bright smile. "You did."

"But you showed me how," I countered.
"Anyone could have done that—your folks, your teachers, your pastor. It's just that you were ready to listen when you met me. It was inside you all along."
I thought about that for a moment. Since coming to work at the shoe store, I had taken part in the senior play, gotten involved in some organizations, run for a couple of offices and made many new friends. It turned out my peers had never really closed me out of their lives. It was the other way around, just as it had been with my folks. As soon as I opened up to them, everyone responded.
Have confidence in yourself and others will too. Don't tell, show. Treat people as you would like to be treated. Always offer more than expected.
Those simple rules have since found their way into many corners of my life—from business to family and beyond.
In teaching me about selling shoes, Mr. Hill gave me something far more important—a powerful secret for living. You won't always have what people ask for. But you'll always have something in that vast inventory. If not another pair of shoes or a can of polish, try offering a piece of yourself.
Thanks! You're on our list.
And your life's about to get more interesting.

I really enjoyed reading this story. Reader's Digest has always been a high quality publication. And I appreciate how Reader's Digest keeps the content of the stories clean and moral without profanity and vulgar language. It is so sad to me how this world has become so immoral, but Reader's Digest has kept the same high standards that it has always published.
Amazing story!! So inspiring and touching.
A lot to take in…great work :)
I used to buy Reader Digest every month, then subscribed for years. It always comfort me like I feel today.
It's a pity that the world has changed so much that genuine spirit of the Americans has been unpopularized till Reader Digest has becoming an e-magazine instead of best selling books on the store, like it used to be.
Like meeting with my old friend, I'm happy that I met you again.
I'll be around' krub.

Upon his arrival in Kuala Lumpur, Singh is assigned an local police assistant/minder, and sets about trying to make sense of what the local cops think is an open and shut case of an abused woman snapping and killing her husband. Singh's method is to get to know the life of the victim intimately, and from this basis, form a list of suspects. In this case, it quickly becomes apparent that the murdered timber tycoon had any number of potential enemies from both his personal and professional life. Once Singh has his cast of suspects, he then tries to push their buttons, keep them off-balance, and generally provoke them into giving themselves away.
It's an engaging enough debut, with some local color but not nearly enough for my taste. The exception is a very interesting subplot involving the wife possibly losing custody of her children due to the dead husband's alleged confession to Islam. The interplay between civil and sharia law in Malaysia is drawn out nicely though this issue. There's also a decent expose of the seamy side of the timber industry and environmental degradation in the developing world.Read more ›
In sum, a fun but utterly superficial shot at the exotic locale mystery genre.

BIGGEST Wedding Etiquette Pet Peeve?

There are a couple of reasons for this. One is investors hoping for a big end-of-year payout. The other, more complicated reason, is that investors buying PC stocks are saying Wall Street is just too negative on the group.
In a climate of year-end special dividends, these high-paying PC names might be thought to have something to announce in the waning days of 2012, similar to Oracle ORCL 0.19474196689386564% Oracle Corp.

Intel hasn't announced anything, but it has been kind to investors, with a 4.5% dividend yield. Last week the company said it would issue $6 billion in senior notes of various vintages, which some on Wall Street speculated could mean either more buybacks or more dividends.
There's been nothing so far from H-P, but it also offers a handsome 3.8% yield. Dell has a 3.1% yield, and the announcement last Thursday of a regular quarterly dividend payable Jan. 2 seems to dash any exciting prospects before year's end. But still, one can hope.
The more complex reason these names might be up is simply that conventional wisdom seems just too negative.
There was an avalanche of dire words from the sell side last week regarding PCs.

Research firm IDC Wednesday raised its outlook for tablet computer sales this year and next, based on cheaper models coming to market and driving demand, and it is the tablet, after all, which appears to be putting PCs in the doldrums.
It all seems to tempt a contrarian view, but I'll resist. I think the warm good feeling about PC stocks will fade. Not only is the market truly troubled, as we've written before, the attention of the entire technology world is simply turning elsewhere.
ONE OF THE MORE TANTALIZING themes is Google's effort to wire homes with a billion bits worth of broadband at a dirt-cheap price.

It could certainly give the cable multi-system operators a run for their money as well.
It's early days for Google Fiber, but the response from Wall Street and some cognoscenti is overwhelmingly positive. BTIG Research's Rich Greenfield, who formally covers Time Warner Cable (TWC) and doesn't rate Google shares, traveled to Kansas City last month with his colleague Walter Piecyk, and observed the service firsthand. When I asked Greenfield whether Google Fiber could go national—Kansas City is currently its sole test market—he replied, "They are far more serious than people give them credit for."
"My suspicion is it's going to grow, based on Google's interest in expanding its user base," Greenfield adds, "and based, too, on the fact that anyone who can afford this [$70 a month] would want to have it, no question." Whether it will really come to many other cities depends on how quickly Google can move into other markets, given that it took it two years to get into one market.
Blair Levin, a fellow at the Communications and Society Program at the Aspen Institute who helped draft the FCC's national broadband plan in 2010, tells me that "the real genius of what Google is doing is that they've figured out how to deliver a gigabit of bandwidth much more cheaply."
As Levin sees it, there are two costs to broadband, capital expenditures, and operating expenditures. Leaving aside the raw cost of fiber, Google's got most everyone beat when it comes to running a big network. "There are only a few companies in the world that can get operating expense down to the kind of level Google has got it when you're talking about transporting bits," he says.
Google won't take over broadband overnight—it will take many years—but it's the kind of exciting investment—a bet on a market "disruptor," a bet on the future of television, a bet against the cable companies—that is seriously interesting to a tech investor, and much more interesting than wondering how many PCs will be sold this year and next.
ALSO IN THE CATEGORY OF INTERESTING new bets, the Firsthand Technology Value fund (SVVC), which represents one of the few public ways to play private tech outfits, last week said it increased its stake in Twitter, the social-networking service. I asked manager Kevin Landis why he would increase his stake, to 7.5% of the fund, given that his much-publicized investment in Facebook FB 0.5206611570247934% Facebook Inc. Cl A U.S.: Nasdaq USD121.63 0.63 0.5206611570247934% /Date(1469480400126-0500)/ Volume (Delayed 15m) : 17995260 AFTER HOURS USD121.8 0.170000000000002 0.1397681493052701% Volume (Delayed 15m) : 492189 P/E Ratio 75.08024691358025 Market Cap 346105430678.906 Dividend Yield N/A Rev. per Employee 1557480 More quote details and news » (FB) is still under water. (Firsthand has an average cost basis in Facebook at $31.50, and the stock closed Friday at $27.49.)
One answer is simple: Twitter's a bit cheaper these days. From prices above $20 on private market exchanges such as SecondMarket and SharesPost, Twitter stock of late can be had for around $17.
Still, Landis has no access to the company's financials, and after the Facebook disaster, you'd think he'd be wary.
But "I think the guys at Twitter have learned from watching Facebook," he insists. "I think they have learned not to go public until you're absolutely ready to do so, and they've learned not to price their IPO to perfection."
Landis views Twitter as both the successor to instant messaging, and perhaps the perfect form of opt-in, direct-mail advertising. "The beauty of Twitter is that you subscribe to hear news about things you care about," he points out. "That is going to make advertising on Twitter much, much more valuable."

He got an average of $2.89. By the looks of it his selling may have started the slide - 51,120 shares sold from 2:47-2:48 between $2.90 and $2.86...the time the slide started on Monday.http://xml.10kwizard.com/filing_raw.php?repo=tenk&ipage=7861624
if thats true that he sold then that means neop has recieved notice from fda
Sorry, I missed the second footnote: "Shares were sold at prices ranging from $2.85 to $3.03."
It some kind of gradual sales plan they filed it last week with sec. U can look it up its no surprise and not much stock.
At least he will only be allowed to sell 50k a month for next 6 months,should have little effect on share price.

this is the best harlem shake video ive ever seen 100/5 stars
LOL! The animation wasn't gorgeous, but it was still pretty good, and very fitting for the actual Harlem Shake scene. And the voices were fairly well done, as well. The Harlem Shake scene was pretty funny and WOOHOO Slenderman cameo ;D
I cant be the only guy who saw slenderman in there
I like how it's MGS1 snake with an eyepatch, and MGS4 Otacon.
Hahaha I thought about it before I did it!
I think snake failed is Mission
