Big-Boob Finishing School: Eden Mor and Michelle Bond bump, grind and twerk
Posted by Elliot James on Oct 30, 2013 in Behind the Scenes, DVD, eBoobStore.com, girl-girls, New at Scoreland
Big Boob Finishing School headmistress Michelle Bond believes that pleasing men requires a great deal of study and training.
The British self-help guru, author and teacher includes lap dance instruction in her manual, "The Ultimate Guide To Pleasing Men."
But manuals can't take the place of real practice.
Today at SCORELAND, Michelle is going to train Israeli sweater stretcher Eden Mor in the art of lap dancing.
"Perhaps you are wondering why you are dressed the way you are," Michelle asks Eden. "You are dressed the way you are because all men love strippers, and nothing turns a man on more than having his girlfriend or wife dance for him."
The training begins in today's chapter, "The Art of the Lap Dance." Plus a behind-the-scenes video with extras and bloopers.
Rubbing off at SCORE's Big Boob Finishing School
Posted by Elliot James on Oct 23, 2013 in Behind the Scenes, Deep Inside Scoreland, New at Scoreland
In today's SCORELAND episode of Big Boob Finishing School, Headmistress Michelle Bond, the author of "The Ultimate Guide To Pleasing Men," requests a volunteer to demonstrate what a girl should do when her man comes home from work beat-up and stressed. Valory Irene volunteers! One of those things she does is a nice, soothing massage to rub out the problems and stresses of the day. Click here to see the trailer. And see what happens after-hours.

Starts Wednesday at SCORELAND: Big Boob Finishing School
Posted by Elliot James on Sep 30, 2013 in Behind the Scenes, Cummin Soon, DVD, eBoobStore.com, Men's Products, New at Scoreland
First time at SCORELAND…When Arianna Sinn, Sophie Mae, Valory Irene, Lana Ivans and Eden Mor receive an invitation in the mail from the headmistress of the Big Boob Finishing School, Michelle Bond, they are intrigued.
They travel to Michelle's historic villa to learn her secrets about attracting and holding on to a guy. A spectacular cast of international hotties star in this SCORE feature film shot completely on-location in scenic Portugal.
If you loved On Location Key Largo, On Location Costa Del Sol and other SCORE feature movies, you'll love Big Boob Finishing School.
This kind of big-boob DVD happens once, say, every 16 years
Posted by Dave on Aug 18, 2012 in Boobs in the News, DVD, New DVD Releases, Other SCORE Group websites
The first two volumes of The Greatest Big-Bust Video Ever were huge sellers. Gigantic sellers. Among our best-selling DVDs and videos ever. Movies that passed the test of time.
So, when something is so popular, what do you do? You rush out a third volume, right? Well, in this case, wrong. Vol. 2 was released in 1996. That's right, 1996. And, in all honesty, I never thought we'd see Vol. 3. But, now, finally, it's here.
The Greatest Big-Bust DVD Ever, Vol. 3, truly reflects how much things have changed since 1996. For one, notice the name: "DVD" not "Video." Second, the first two editions were packed with mega-slim 'n' stacked babes from the 1990s. This one is all-natural. That's right. Not a drop of silicone to be found.
Of course, the lineup is spectacular. Take a deep breath: Hitomi, Karina Hart, Siri, Leanne Crow, Valory Irene, Elaina Gregory, Sophie Mae, Kali West, Jenna Valentine, Gya Roberts, Maggie Green, Michelle Bond, Eden Mor, Cherry Brady, Melissa Manning…okay, I'm going to stop listing them all. I'm just going to give you the numbers:
48 girls. Four discs. 14 hours.
$49.95 at eBoobStore.com. Don't wait for Vol. 4. At this rate, it won't be released until 2026.

Venera's covered front and back. Or should we say uncovered?
Posted by Elliot James on Sep 5, 2011 in Men's Products, newcomers
Venera's stackitude is mindboggling. How can anyone so slim be so naturally busty? And yet, seeing is believing. I pondered the same question in 2005 when Merilyn Sakova exploded onto the scene. I realize there's no definitive answer. It's a miracle of nature in how body mass is distributed, and that's the only answer I can come up with. And I'm grateful for this phenomenon. And to Venera for showing us what nature has bestowed upon her.
Venera's debut in the December '11 SCORE, now being stacked on newsstand racks all over the world, will have the same impact. There will be lots of rack studying going on in numerous countries from the States to Sweden to Australia.
Also starring in this edition: Maserati; Michelle Bond and Eden Mor; Angel Gee; Valory Irene; Brooke Tyler; Kaytee Carter; Kelly Christiansen & Karen Fisher XXX; and a DVD preview of Big Tit A-List 2.
Pick up a copy at your local store or get it with a few clicks at eBoobStore.com.
Either way, don't miss it.
And get to know Venera on DVD. Available now and only from SCORE, Venera's Busty Debut, filmed in Jamaica, is the first DVD to showcase the slim-n-stacked hottie. See the trailer at eBoobStore.com.
Movies that tit-loving guys should own
Posted by Elliot James on Aug 31, 2011 in Behind the Scenes, DVD, Men's Products
If Big-Boob Finishing School did not exist, we would be forced to create it as a public service for girls who want to become better girlfriends.
At this critically acclaimed center for advancement in the science and art of man-pleasing, Michelle Bond is the knowledgeable head mistress.
In fact, Miss Bond wrote the best selling book, The Ultimate Guide For Pleasing Men, featured in this film.
Our camera crew traveled to Miss Bond's posh estate in Portugal, where she allowed us to film her stacked students–Valory Irene, Arianna Sinn, Sophie Mae, Lana Ivans and Eden Mor–during actual classes as they learned the step-by-step techniques of making a guy feel like a king.
This is a DVD for every man with big boobs on his brain 24-7 and one he can even watch with his girlfriend, wife or friend with benefits.
The courses taught include:
1) How girls should dress to please a guy.
2) How a girl can be a porn star in her own bedroom.
3) The art of oily massage.
4) How to give the perfect lap dance.
5) How a guy should be woken up in the morning.
And much more plus lots of behind-the-scenes extras.
Check out the trailer and get your copy of Big-Boob Finishing School today at eBoobStore.com.
Sheridan: A very Tweet girl
Posted by Elliot James on Jun 28, 2011 in Behind the Scenes, birthdays, Life With Big Tits, New at Scoreland, newcomers
The only uses I see for Twitter are finding models or burglarizing someone's place when they Tweet that they're out for dinner and a movie or on vacation. Since I'm a proper, law-abiding citizen, my sole interest is in possibly spotting new girls with the right-sized boobs for SCORE. And that's where the lovely and talented Sheridan Love comes in.
Our studio staff saw her on Twitter, where Sheridan Tweets her heart out and they connected. You first saw Sheridan here at the Blog. See her first–her very first–pictorial and video right now at SCORELAND. She's never posed naked before.
And that's something to Tweet about. She wears a 34G bra, has pierced nipples, a finger-lickin' good pussy (you'll see), a beautiful face and bod and a girl-next-door personality that reminds me of Brianna Costello and Vixen LaMoore. Sheridan makes her SCORE mag debut in the Holiday '11 issue (on the newsstands October 4th). Just in time to enter the 2011 Newcomer of the Year contest.
Better boob finding through technology. Hey, why not? I used to check out MySpace, but that place is like a ghost town now. The social media geography is loaded with failed, multi-million dollar debris–Friendster, Hi5, Bebo, Tagged. Will someone please create a social network for big-boobed girls only and the men who love them?
And a big birthday shout-out to Eden Mor (Big-Boob Finishing School) and Indianna Jaymes. Have a happy.
Letters. We get letters. Some are better than others.
Posted by Dave on Jun 21, 2011 in Boob Watch, swimsuits
For example, there's this letter from C.A. of West Midlands, United Kingdom. He writes, "I'm a lover of both natural and fake tits, but in my opinion, fake tits always win as far as bikinis go. Soft, natural tits can't quite manage that, which is why fake tits will always look better in bikinis. Other great examples are Minka, Crystal Gunns, Donita Dunes and, of course, the ultimate bikini babe, Angelique."
You know, C.A. might have a point, and I think I know why he could be right. But, on the other hand, is there anything better than a girl with big, natural tits running down the beach, her boobs bouncing out of her bikini?
Then there's J.C. of Oklahoma City who writes, "The eyes have it! Eden has the loveliest eyes I have seen in a long time. I recall that Autumn-Jade had lovely eyes also. What do you think about a reader survey of the best eyes?"
Sure. I'm fine with a survey, although I think J.C. should act like a gentlemen and stop staring at girls' eyes when he should be looking at their tits.
M.C. from Woodhaven, Michigan is looking in a different direction. He writes, "I just watched the DVD Karina Hart As You Wish. Holy shit, she is perfect! But I must say the part of her that turns me on the most is her legs. Sorry to be redundant, but perfect is the best word to describe them. The way they are shaped is just too much. They're creamy white and so sexy that I just could not take my eyes off them. I would die to suck on her luscious thighs for just five minutes."
In all three letters, the writers present interesting points of view (which is why I published them in "Scorecard" in the print edition of SCORE). Any comments, Blog Men and Women?
Eden's new look
Posted by Elliot James on Jun 4, 2011 in Life With Big Tits, New at Scoreland, New DVD Releases
Voluptuous was the first men's mag to photograph the chesty Israeli model Eden Mor. There are very few girls from Israel in the SCORE world. After that first time, Eden traveled to Spain, along with Kelly Kay, Joana Bliss, Crisa, Bozena and Florri in 2004. She and Bozena paired off in the breastfest DVD Knockin' Nipples. After that, we lost touch until recently. Eden has changed.
After Taylor Stevens in Canada, Eden Mor is the second Voluptuous/XL Girl to have had a dramatic weight reduction during the past year. It doesn't happen very often. For the most part, models tend to gain weight and boobage. Autumn-Jade is the perfect example.
This year, a slimmer, trimmer Eden joined Valory, Arianna Sinn, Michelle Bond, Lana Ivans, and Sophie Mae in Portugal for Big-Boob Finishing School. SCORELAND is showing Eden's pictorial from the July '11 SCORE mag today.
Opinions from the guys vary, but the majority of the comments about the new-look Eden have been good. Jeff wrote, "Eden, I'm one of your biggest fans. You have always been incredible and the slimmer version is absolutely smokin' hot. Gorgeous face, incredible figure, and great personality. You have the best boobs on the planet (especially your nipples), plus I love your shaved pussy and incredible legs and ass. It's heart attack time!" Alt commented: "Outstanding. I am fan of both versions of this grand lady and her magnificent hangers but this latest thinner version is simply stunning." And RE wrote: "I much prefer her on the bigger side but I wouldn't kick her out of bed for eating crackers." A true diplomat.
Tomorrow, Natasha Dulce from July '11 SCORE. Fresh, hot, sexy, stacked and every other adjective you could think of.

We tried it and it worked, as did our apps, but we have not gone through the Apple certification process yet, so we can't advertise that it does until then.
The information above may not be current, and you should direct questions to the current forum or review the manual.

Trumpet Hero! Why Should Guitarists Have All the Fun?
I'll admit to having sat on this one awhile, just because I wasn't quite sure what to think of it. It's so intriguing, though, that I just had to share it.
Courtney Sexton posted his answer to Guitar Hero in this article showing how he hacked together a Sony PS2 controller and a roached-out cornet to create TRUMPET HERO (video included)! It's not for the faint of heart – if you get woozy from seeing real instruments (even sad ones) destroyed, please save yourself! – but it's an interesting project.
It's as close as you're likely to get to actually "playing trumpet" in a videogame. Your breath is used as a replacement to strumming a guitar controller (no buzzing, though – just breathing through the pipe), and the valves/keys (plus a couple) are color-matched to guitar controller fret keys. Not a perfect match-up, but actually pretty clever.
Check it out! We've discussed before the benefits you can obtain from playing music-based videogames (see links at bottom of article), but this one takes things in a different direction. While we all probably agree that limited time would be better spent practicing a real instrument than pretending to play one, videogames are a fun outlet for many of us…and something that often kindles an interest in the thing being "gamed". What do you think? Should Trumpet Hero (!), Guitar Hero, or Rock Band be cast in the dumpster? Or should music departments use them as recruitment tools and bridge builders?
Whatever you play, keep playing!
P.S. – Please keep comments respectful! It's a big (musical) world out there. 🙂

Godfrey "UCAR" Chitalu (October 22, 1947 – April 27, 1993) was a Zambian footballer who is regarded as the greatest Zambian player ever and holds the national team goal-scoring record. Nicknamed 'Ucar', Chitalu was a forceful and often temperamental target man who was Zambian footballer of the year a record five times and in 1972 rewrote the record books by scoring 107 goals in all competitions in a single season.
Upon retirement, Chitalu took to coaching and was in charge of the Zambia national team when the entire squad perished in a plane crash off the coast of Gabon on April 27, 1993.
Source: Wikipedia
FIFA must recognize this record and put it into their Books
only 76 of those goals were official so it doesn't count. Pele also scored 110 goals in 1961 but only 62 of those goals were official. If we were counting friendlies Messi would be in the 90s right now.
What do you by he only scored 76 goals in "official" games?
Are not league, cup game and international games official?
Zambia had four cup competitions that time in addition to the national league
and Chitalu won the Top Scorers award fairly.
FIFA did recognize him. They gave him a ball written "FIFA 107 goals in one season". His jersey number was changed to "107". FIFA just choose who recognize and they other problem is my country Zambia is poor with record keeping hence its difficult to prove this claim.
There is big money at play . They will never allow the honors to go to Africa !
Pele scored 127 goals for Santos in 1959, 110 in 1961 and 101 goals in 1965…..some of these goals were from non sanctioned matches (friendly matches)
So this being the case, let Messi's record be written in the FIFA records as having broken the European record, and the thus the world record holder be Godfrey 'Ucar' Chitalu!!! Period. The records are there to show. FIFA just chose who to recognize and who not to.
hahha, why Today? where were these records not known before? This is simply foolishness to say there were players after Mesi took the record from Muler. These goals were not officials!!!!!!!!!!!

You may feel impetuous and find yourself making impulsive decisions today. You might have a tendency to spend money recklessly or act hastily before you think. These feelings may be the result of unmet needs within yourself, and you may wish to spend some time figuring out what you truly desire. Rather than trying to meet your needs with external trappings, you can take some time to honor your deeper emotional needs and reduce the likelihood of compulsive actions. With a little introspection, you might discover that you are really craving some alone time, a feeling of abundance, or more relaxation and stress relief. By meeting these needs today, you should find that your impulses decrease and your feelings of satisfaction and joy increase.
By considering our inner needs and doing what we can to meet them, we are able to calm our emotions and reduce impulsive behavior. If we are not in tune with our inner needs, we may not understand how to satisfy them and find ourselves acting impulsively. If we instead turn our attention inward and think about what we truly desire, we empower ourselves with the ability to meet our needs satisfactorily. Our emotions calm and we begin to feel peaceful and content, which has a positive effect on all aspects of our lives. By choosing to see your impulsivity as a signal that your inner needs are not being met today, you can discern your true desires and take action to satisfy them.

Facebook Search
Two years back I had an opportunity to meet MS Krishnan, a professor at Ross School of Business, University Michigan. Among the things he spoke about was a big trend that he captured in The New Age of Innovation. In the book, CK Prahalad (his mentor and co-author) and Krishnan argue that businesses will increasingly need to customize their products/services for each individual consumer and tap the best resources from across the globe. They expressed this idea in a simple formula: N = 1, R = G. (Your target customer = 1, and resources = global). During the interview Prof Krishnan mentioned Google as an example of a company that's taking customization to its extreme. Still, he said, no company can afford to relax in this pursuit, because there is always scope to do more.
Prof Krishnan couldn't have been more right. Mark Zukerberg, in his first public interaction post Facebook IPO, said it's working on search, and that there's a lot of scope to customise the service:
Search engines are really evolving toward giving you a set of answers. It's not just like 'I'll type in something and show me some relevant stuff.' It's, 'I have a specific question, answer this question for me.' When you look at it from that perspective, Facebook is pretty uniquely positioned to answer the questions people have: 'What sushi restaurants have my friends gone to in New York in the past six months and liked?' 'Which of my friends and friends of friends work at this company I'm interested in … so I can talk to them about what it's like to work there?'
These are queries you could potentially do in Facebook if we built out the system that you couldn't do anywhere else. And at some point we'll do it…. That's one obvious thing that would be interesting for us to do in the future.
The journey towards N=1 is never-ending.
Here's a presentation that Prahalad gave a few years back at a Nasscom event, in case you are interested in N=1, R=G.
Predictive computing
Not long back, Google announced the launch of Google Now. Its USP is to give you what you want, at the time you need. For example, when you are about to leave for office, it will tell give you information on traffic. As weekend approaches, it will let you know about movies that you might like to watch. It anticipates your need and provides what you want.
Gigaom writes about an exciting startup, Expect Labs, which I feel takes this further. "[Co-founder Tim] Tuttle pointed out that unlike other semantic efforts that analyze usage history, their approach is to look at the past 10 minutes and then anticipate what users might need in the next 10 seconds. "We have a predictive model that changes second to second and surfaces relevant information without searching," says Tuttle."
What's most exciting about predictive computing is this: It's is one of the spots where some of the big technology trends like cloud, mobility, big data and analytics converge. And, it will be there right in your pocket.
Vivek Ranadive , about whom we discussed earlier, has written a book on this theme: The Two Second Advantage. Here's a short video that explains what the advantage is about.

The Popovich System
Having swept the Los Angeles Clippers, the San Antonio Spurs return home awaiting the outcome of another Los Angeles series. A quick guess: the Oklahoma City Thunder will find The Popovich System far more troubling next series than they will The Kobe System in this one.
Few can really make sense of what The Kobe System actually is, other than Bryant offering a "you're welcome" to a throng of successful celebrities wearing faces more confounded than Andrew Bynum's after Bryant launches a 22-foot jumper despite the seven-footer establishing prime real estate in the post .
After Game 4 there was no Kanye West or Tony Robbins awaiting San Antonio Spurs head coach Gregg Popovich, only a roomful of seasoned beat reporters looking for a quote. And even then, Popovich is never in the most giving mood.
So far as systems go, The Pop System has a long ways to go to match the sheer entertainment value of The Kobe System.
Popovich has never been one to accept credit for success, and that which can be directly attributed to him–bringing a player of Manu Ginobili's stature off the bench, resting players, intentionally fouling Reggie Evans–he can can be downright apologetic for.
"It's not pretty. Basically it's ugly, but it's part of the game," Popovich said. "My job is to try to win."
It is a job Popovich has done very well, currently 18 times in a row in fact, with win no. 18 the toughest in these playoffs to date. This postseason has been rough for those swooning for hero ball antics, but last night Popovich once again showed why he might be the most clutch performer in the NBA.
Despite featuring one of the most feared closers in the game in Chris Paul, the Clippers struggled to generate clean shots down the stretch with their generic pick and roll and 1-4 isolation sets. Finally having to grind out baskets in the fourth quarter, Popovich and the Spurs cued up several backdoor cuts that generated easy layups.
It was an execution by execution, if that makes sense.
"Look how many back doors [the Spurs] got," Paul said (via Kevin Arnovitz at ESPN). "When it was a close game, they come down and run this little play where they hit Timmy [Duncan] and then just drop it to Tony [Parker] for a layup. It's tough. They know how to play. They come out after timeouts and they execute."
In a hypothetical upcoming series against the Oklahoma City Thunder, in which the Thunder are pegged to have the superior top heavy talent, this is the advantage the Spurs will press for a few victories. After all, most teams just come out of timeouts and clear out for their best player to create something from nothing.
Kevin Durant will have a little easier time doing this than Chris Paul, if only because he is healthy and Danny Green and Kawhi Leonard won't enjoy such superior reach over Durant. But Popovich will be sure to adjust to this as well.
In Durant, Russell Westbrook, and James Harden, the Thunder have what many would claim to be a superior Big Three in this stage of their careers. But where that trio is vaguely held together by the versatility of Harden, the Spurs parts are completely interchangeable and integrated by the 2011-12 NBA Coach of the Year.
It's a system that, in the words of Bryant, has enjoyed "success at success at success."
And if there's a weakness to be exploited, whether it be a Durant struggle to move off the ball in clutch situations, Westbrook's at times over-exuberance, or Ibaka's penchant for biting on fakes, it's one that will be exploited. Regardless of the outcome, it will be a series that can only leave Oklahoma City (or the Lakers, should they pull off the improbable) better. Because that's the type of coach Gregg Popovich is, as he explained in the case of Reggie Evans.
"I said I'm sorry I had to do that to you. I hate it, it's ugly," Popovich said when asked what he and Evans discussed after the game. "He was fine, he said 'that'll give me something to work on,', it was great."
You're welcome.

President Obama's visit was like a Rorschach test. Different people saw so many different meanings in it and different viewpoints led people to very different conclusions. The issue of settlements is a good example of this: Was it an Israeli achievement to get the President to change his position- to stop making demands focused on 'freezes'- and to turn what used to be a very big issue into a non-issue? Or maybe the President was only withdrawing tactically for something that is no less demanding than a freeze?
You'd expect Israel to gloat about such a seemingly triumphant change of American policy, but it doesn't seem to be doing that. In fact, both Palestinians and Israelis weren't quite impressed with Obama's message concerning the settlements. I think I know why. Take a look at my new IHT-NYT article for the reason (hint: it has to do with a new negotiation policy which is more about maps than about temporary freezes). Here's a short excerpt:
Israeli officials know Obama's shift is probably a pyrrhic victory. His approval ratings in Israel did go up following his visit and the Israeli government is happy to see Washington drop its demand that settlement construction be frozen, but Obama's "major calibration" creates more problems for the Israeli government than it solves.
Basically, he replaced the contentious issue of settlements with an even more contentious matter: boundaries. As Obama explained in both Ramallah and Jerusalem, drawing the future border of a Palestinian state — "real borders that have to be drawn" — is the crux of the matter.
Why is drawing a map so problematic? Read the rest of the article here.

Former Philadelphia Police Inspector Daniel Castro broke down in tears on the witness stand Thursday and admitted that he authorized the use of violence in a strong-arm extortion scheme last year against a former business partner who owed him money - a decision Castro described as "the biggest mistake of my life."
"I broke my mother's heart," he said, testifying in federal court on the fourth day of his trial on extortion and bribery charges. "You go to my mother's house, she has pictures of me on the wall. . . . I was stupid."
Castro, 47, believed to be the highest-ranking member of the Police Department to face criminal charges in several decades, also admitted Thursday that he lied to FBI agents in October when they came to question him about his involvement in the scheme to recoup money from a failed real estate investment. Additionally, he testified that he looked up a car's license-plate information for a friend as a personal favor, a violation of department policy.

Anyways, back to the Thai relation in this story, #porkgang had not seen each other for close to 8 days due to the recent celebration of Chinese New Year and hence most those whom were around gathered together and had Thai food for dinner. I wouldn't say that the Thai food is great nor would I say that it actually sucks – this opinion is a bit biased as I am not quite a fan of spicy food (please bear in mind that Thailand's authentic Thai food like the Tom Yum soup is actually more towards the sour-ish side rather than the super giler babi spicy thing that they call soup here)
The pricing here is actually rather expensive and it costs RM 25-26 per person (which we shared among the 8 of us, which is over RM200+), for slightly of that price I would actually recommend that you head over to Khun Tai at the Taman Petaling area. That comes with the yummy fish as well as Otak-otak (with loads of prawn and sotongs), deep fried morning glory, and a lot more, confirm got 10 dishes one. And less then RM20 a person for 10 people and definitely can feed more then 10 as the portions are pretty big too for a 10 course meal.

Staphylococcus aureus is and has long been a common cause of community-associated skin infections, transmitted mainly by close (skin-to-skin) contact. Methicillin-resistant S. aureus (MRSA), previously seen almost exclusively in association with health care, emerged in the 1990s as a cause of community-associated skin infection (1). In the United States, a single pulsed-field gel electrophoresis type, USA300, has caused most community-associated MRSA infections (2). Outbreaks of S. aureus skin infection have occurred in settings conducive to transmission because of crowding, frequent skin-to-skin contact, compromised skin surfaces, sharing of potentially contaminated personal items, and barriers to maintaining hygiene and cleanliness (3–5).
Community-associated MRSA is typically susceptible to multiple classes of antimicrobial agents (1). When antimicrobial therapy is desired as an adjunct to incision and drainage for uncomplicated skin infections, several oral treatment options are generally available. Although data from controlled clinical trials are lacking, treatment options have included clindamycin, trimethoprim–sulfamethoxazole, and tetracyclines (6). Although susceptibility to agents other than β-lactams and macrolides is still the most common profile, resistance to other agents has been documented in USA300 and other community-associated MRSA types (7–10). In an extreme example, resistance to at least 4 classes of non–β-lactam antimicrobials has been described in community-associated MRSA isolates from children in Taiwan and adults in the United States (7–8, 10).
In this issue, Diep and colleagues (11) present the results of analyses exploring the epidemiology of MRSA USA300 isolates that contain the conjugative plasmid pUSA03. This plasmid contains genes conferring resistance to erythromycin, clindamycin, and mupirocin, and it has the potential to acquire additional resistance elements (7). The authors refer to pUSA03-positive MRSA strains as "multidrug-resistant USA300." Diep and colleagues build 2 bodies of epidemiologic evidence to suggest that men who have sex with men may be at increased risk for skin infection with a pUSA03-positive strain of MRSA USA300. First, in an ecological analysis performed in San Francisco, Diep and colleagues found a higher incidence of pUSA03-positive MRSA USA300 in residents of areas with a relatively high proportion of male same-sex couples. Second, cross-sectional retrospective analyses of patients with MRSA USA300 skin infections attending an HIV clinic in San Francisco and a community health clinic in Boston suggest that identifying oneself as a man who has sex with men is associated with an increased risk for having a pUSA03-positive isolate.
Diep and colleagues suggest that MRSA, in particular pUSA03-positive USA300, might be sexually transmitted among men who have sex with men. The authors base this hypothesis on the high proportion of infections involving the buttocks, genitals, and perineum (25% and 37% at the San Francisco and Boston clinics, respectively) and recent reports of MRSA skin infections in heterosexual and homosexual partners (12–13). Because S. aureus is known to be transmitted through skin-to-skin contact, the frequency and duration of intimate skin-to-skin contact occurring with sexual activity may increase the risk for cutaneous transmission of S. aureus. However, the buttocks and groin are common sites for S.aureus infection in adults and children (14–15), and infection in these areas does not imply acquisition via sexual contact. As the authors acknowledge, they did not assess specific sexual practices and therefore could not determine the relative importance of particular sexual practices in genital or perianal MRSA colonization and infection. Furthermore, they do not assess 2 important parameters in defining an infection as sexually transmitted (16): whether sexual activity is the predominant mode of transmission in these populations and whether mucosal (genital, anal, oral) contact is specifically implicated.
Diep and colleagues confirm that pUSA03-positive strains of MRSA USA300 have emerged in certain communities of men who have sex with men in San Francisco and Boston. We reviewed isolates submitted to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) as part of the Active Bacterial Core Surveillance system for invasive MRSA infections and found that strains bearing this plasmid are rare (CDC. Unpublished data.). The hosts of these strains are not limited to men who have sex with men: Two of 8 pUSA03-positive MRSA USA300 isolates were from women. Information on sexual orientation is not collected in this surveillance system.
Incision and drainage is the primary therapy for uncomplicated MRSA skin infections. Available evidence suggests that most uncomplicated MRSA skin infections respond well to drainage alone (17). It has not been established through controlled studies whether certain patients benefit from ancillary antimicrobial therapy (18); however, experts have recommended that clinicians consider administering antimicrobial therapy in addition to drainage on the basis of such factors as patient age, immunosuppression, severity of local symptoms, and presence of fever (19). Several oral treatment options are available for patients in whom the clinician feels that antibiotics are required, even if the infecting isolate is pUSA03-positive. For example, isolates with tetracycline resistance (typically conferred by the tetK gene, located on a separate plasmid), generally retain in vitro susceptibility to minocycline and doxycycline (8). Resistance to trimethoprim–sulfamethoxazole is rare in MRSA USA300. Despite these available treatment options, we should be alert for isolates that are resistant to antimicrobials, because genetic elements encoding resistance to antimicrobial agents, such as trimethoprim, aminoglycosides, and vancomycin, are easily integrated into the pUSA03 genome (7). For this reason, we should monitor antimicrobial susceptibilities in S. aureus isolates in populations where pUSA03-positive strains are prevalent, even after empirical therapy has been modified to provide MRSA coverage.
Optimizing strategies for prevention and control of community-associated MRSA is a continuing task in which the lessons also apply to skin infections acquired by men who have sex with men. Improved hygiene and meticulous wound care seem to have been effective at controlling transmission in outbreak settings (4–5). These same strategies should help at-risk individuals avoid cutaneous transmission of pUSA03-positive MRSA to close contacts, including sexual partners. In particular, people should avoid contact with infected skin and potentially contaminated objects. No medical authority has recommended postexposure prophylaxis for asymptomatic contacts of MRSA-infected persons. Similarly, participants in a CDC-convened, experts' meeting did not recommend routine use of screening for MRSA colonization or agents to suppress or eliminate colonization for infected persons or their contacts (19); the potential role of these interventions in specific at-risk populations is being evaluated (20). Because antibiotic exposure may facilitate the acquisition of drug-resistant strains of S. aureus, clinicians should use antimicrobial agents prudently. Although these general MRSA prevention principles apply to any MRSA infection, some strategies for community-associated MRSA prevention and control may be unique to specific populations—such as prisoners, athletes, day care attendees, and men who have sex with men—indicating a need to customize interventions and rigorously establish their efficacy in these populations.
We currently lack evidence that S. aureus, including MRSA, is a sexually transmitted infection as judged by the 2 classic criteria (sex as a predominant mode of transmission and transmission through genital, anal, or oral mucosal contact). We know that S. aureus is transmitted primarily by direct skin-to-skin contact, which includes skin-to-skin contact during sexual activity. Furthermore, although the propensity of S. aureus to cause infection in the buttocks and groin areas does not imply sexual transmission, contact of these infected areas of skin during sexual activity could result in cutaneous transmission. We do not know whether the mucosal contact that can occur with specific sexual practices imparts an independent risk for transmission.
From a clinician's standpoint, the principles of evaluating and treating MRSA skin infections have not changed. Specifically, when empirical antimicrobial therapy is indicated for a possible S. aureus skin infection, treatment should be selected on the basis of local epidemiology and susceptibility patterns. In communities where resistance to certain non–β-lactam agents is prevalent in MRSA isolates from specific patient groups, such as men who have sex with men, that information should guide empirical therapy. Finally, clinicians must take the time to teach all patients with skin infections, regardless of the site of infection, about wound care and wound containment, which are the foundation of efforts to limit further transmission.

If the Eagles go two-headed monster next season it'll be only a matter of time before Bryce Brown's ball-security issues rear themselves.
The rookie running back fumbled again in the second half of a game, and again it came at perhaps the most inopportune time. But Brown's miscue did not occur because he holds onto the football as if he were playing Nerf, although he was bound to fumble that way.
No, Brown lost the ball before contact was even made. This could be a much more serious problem than how he carries the ball. Because of those three fumbles he had in his first two starts, Brown appeared to be afraid of running into bodies in his next two games.

In the late fifteenth century, clocks acquired minute hands. A century later, second hands appeared. But it wasn't until the mid-nineteenth century that clocks recognized a tenth of a second, and, once they did, the profound impact of these tiny moments on our lives, our history, and our culture became immediately apparent. Uncovering the history behind this infinitesimal interval, A Tenth of a Second sheds new light on key characteristics of the modern era and illuminates the work of some of the most important scientists and philosophers of the last two centuries, leading to an original conclusion—while challenging historians, philosophers, and scientists alike—about what it means to write the history of a radically different topic and time period.
Tracing debates about the nature of time, causality, and free will, as well as the introduction of technologies that helped define modernity—from telegraphy to cinematography—Jimena Canales locates the lasting reverberations of this "perceptual moment" for science, philosophy, and mass media. Once scientists associated the value with the speed of thought, they developed reaction time experiments that helped define the field of experimental psychology and spurred advances in physiology and optics. At the same time, astronomers and physicists struggled to understand the magnitude of errors caused by results that were a tenth of a second off. And references to the interval were part of a general philosophical inquiry into time, temporal development, and sensory experience that involved reconsidering the contributions of Descartes and Kant in light of these newly discovered moments.
Extending the interval in order to consider its impact on much longer periods of time and featuring appearances by Henri Bergson, Walter Benjamin, and Albert Einstein, among others, A Tenth of a Second is, ultimately, an important contribution to history and a novel perspective on modernity.
"Although time is indefinitely divisible in theory, in practice it is not, as this book illustrates beautifully. The tenth of the second is a threshold on which physiology, physics, and philosophy stumble. In refereeing the dispute between Bergson and Einstein, Jimena Canales shows the fecundity of this other dimension of time, that of the new history of science that physicians as well as philosophers tend so easily to forget."
Bruno Latour
"In this lucid and innovative book, Jimena Canales has crafted an extraordinary account of the broad cultural impact of new models of measurement and temporality in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Her exemplary transdisciplinary work will be indispensable for any historical studies of the modernization of perception and cognition."
Jonathan Crary
"In the past, the history of the personal equation and of reaction time has been mainly an interesting topic for historians of astronomy and psychology. In her fascinating and innovative study, Canales convincingly argues that the tenth of a second plays a much more important role in modern science. A novel contribution that will find readers beyond the history of science."

The objective of stage-one assay development is to develop an assay that will be used to confirm candidate biomarkers. Having the necessary data on the candidate proteins captured during biomarker discovery allows for quick assay development. This information may also be provided by a database of proteins previously detected by mass spectrometry. NextGen Sciences has such a database of protein biomarker information, called biomarkerlibrary™.
The assay platform used in this workflow is multiple reaction monitoring (MRM) for peptides (Figure 3). This is a mass spectrometry-based assay that targets specific surrogate peptides in a sample. The approach brings high specificity for each protein in the assay. MRM assays do not require antibodies and can be designed to monitor a specific protein, single or multiple isoforms of a protein, and even a single amino acid mutation within the protein(s) being measured.
Peptides for each protein are selected based on their known amino acid composition, response factor, hydrophobicity, chromatographic peak shape, and product ion distribution. A set of parent ion/product ion combinations (termed transitions) per peptide is tested; typically many more peptides and transitions are chosen than used in the final assay.
During assay development, positive correlation is required between the transition ratios obtained during MRM analysis and with the data from the discovery experiment or the data in the biomarker library. This ensures that a specific signal is unique to the biomarker protein. The peptide and transition list is refined at this point.
Next, analytical reproducibility of each peptide is assessed, by analyzing one preparation of the same sample many times in the mass spectrometer. Technical reproducibility of each peptide is then assessed by measuring the peptide performance from multiple preparations of the same sample. The peptide and transition list may again be refined at this point. Once all peptides have been selected they can be monitored in the assay.
A key feature of the MRM platform is that many peptides and their transitions can be multiplexed in a single chromatographic run. The ability to quickly develop a multiplexed assay for many proteins allows for facile initial biomarker testing. The timeline for this stage is typically four to six weeks.
The objective of stage-one biomarker testing is to confirm candidate biomarkers. The MRM assay is used to monitor the level of proteins in a sample set, often three to five times the size of the sample set used at the discovery stage. The assay is relative to a reference sample that is either a selected sample or a pooled sample. The level of each protein is calculated based on the response of the corresponding peptide relative to the level in the reference sample (Figure 4). Statistical analysis (p-value and false discovery rate) is applied to provide an assessment of the data. This will determine the significance of each biomarker. Ideally, many of the biomarkers would be confirmed after testing the larger sample set.
The data at this point can be used for internal decisions. If the requirement is for clinical validation or validation of clinical utility than stage-two assay development would be necessary. The timeline for this stage is typically two to four weeks.

1.1 Mouse Skills
1.1. c. Mouse Pointers
As you use the mouse, the appearance of the mouse pointer can change. The appearance of the pointer provides feedback about a particular operation, location, or state.
The following mouse pointers are shown as your mouse passes over different elements of the screen:
Your mouse pointers will differ from those shown here if you are using a different pointer theme. Your distributor or vendor may have set a different default theme.
Normal pointer
This pointer appears during normal use of the mouse.Busy pointer
This pointer appears over a window that is busy performing a task. You cannot use the mouse to give this window any input, but you can move to another window and work with that.Resize pointer
This pointer indicates that you can grab the control to resize parts of the interface. This appears over the borders of windows and over resize handles between panes in a window. The direction of the arrows indicates in which direction you can resize.Hand pointer
This pointer appears when you hover over a hypertext link, in a web page for example. This pointer indicates that you can click on the link to load a new document or perform an action.I-beam pointer
This pointer is shown when the mouse is over text that you can select or edit. Click to place the cursor where you want to type text, or drag to select text.
The following mouse pointers are shown when dragging an item such as a file, or a piece of text. They indicate the result of releasing the mouse button to drop the object being moved.
- Move pointer
This pointer indicates that when you drop the object, the object is moved from the old location to the new location.
- Copy pointer
This pointer indicates that when you drop the object, a copy of the object is created where you drop it.
- Symbolic link pointer
This pointer indicates that when you drop the object, a symbolic link to the object is created where you drop the object. A symbolic link is a special type of file that points to another file or folder. For more on this, see the section called Creating a Symbolic Link to a File or Folder.
- Ask pointer
This pointer indicates that when you drop the object, you will be given a choice of what to do. A menu will open to allow you to choose which operation you would like to perform. For instance, you may be able to move, copy, or create a symbolic link.
- Not available pointer
This pointer indicates that you cannot drop the object at the current location. Releasing the mouse button now will have no effect: the dragged object will be returned to its starting location.
- Move panel object pointer
This pointer appears when you drag a panel or a panel object with the middle mouse button. See Chapter 4, Working With Panels for more information on panels.
- Move window pointer
This pointer appears when you drag a window to move it. See the section called Manipulating Windows for more information on moving windows. (Next: Keyboard Skills)

NEWELL-The longtime, rural home of a Hancock County sheriff's deputy was destroyed by fire Monday afternoon.
Neither Deputy Douglas Wade nor his 6-year-old daughter nor his girlfriend were injured in the fire, but two cats and a rabbit perished, Wade said. A family dog was taken to a veterinarian clinic and appeared to be OK, he said.
The house, a mobile home at 947 Snow Hill Road, just south of Newell, was considered a total loss. The house sits on land that Wade uses as a farm for horses, pigs and cattle, none of which were injured.

Hancock County 911 Dispatch received the fire call 1:30 p.m. Monday, and the Newell Volunteer Fire Department responded. Mutual aid came from the Chester, New Cumberland, New Manchester and Lawrenceville fire departments.
Wade said he believes the fire was started by a hot coal from the woodburning stove, which he uses to heat the home in the winter. He and his daughter had just finished removing the ashes from the stove and had moved on to other things, he said.
"We checked it, and it seemed all right. We must have missed something," Wade said.
Wade took his daughter to his parents'-they operate Wade's Salvage across the street-and he returned to splitting wood, he said. Then he heard his girlfriend, who was cleaning the horse barn, yell about smoke coming from the house.
"I was able to run over and get the dog out," he said.
Wade said he had plans to raze the structure to make room for a new home-but not this way.
An eight-year veteran of the sheriff's department, Wade made plans for his immediate future as he watched smoke pour from the house Monday afternoon. He said the house was not insured.
"I've got a lot of people helping me out," he said. "I'm just glad I have a job."

Creative Bloom
By Jennifer Swift
Gifted by North Light Books
Reviewed by Maria Nerius
I hope some day to meet Jennifer Swift and tell her in person what a great book she wrote with Creative Bloom. This book has projects using both fabric and wire and it's a delightful combination! Swift has create designs for inside and outside and all the places in-between. Nature and nostalgia theme the creations with butterflies, flowers, antique ornaments, and jewelry. The cover of the book had me smiling and once I started looking at the projects I felt creative joy. I had to drop everything and go make the Magpie Nest, which was the perfect touch to my guest bedroom. This book is fun, whimsical, and with supervision I know kids would love the projects. Swift knows her craft well and was able to communicate her love of mixed media in every project. I highly recommend this book to all general crafters, paper artists, fiber artists, and mixed media junkies. Why paper artists for a fabric book? Because all these projects could be done using paper too! Great book!

Karl Rove defends move to get involved in GOP primaries, saying Republicans can rebound
Political strategist Karl Rove Wednesday defended his move to get involved in Republican primary races across the country, saying a new vetting and research group would prevent "poor candidates" from giving rival Democrats an edge in critical election contests.
The Conservative Victory Project is a product of American Crossroads, the political action committee run by Rove that spent $320 million on the 2012 elections, including Mitt Romney's ill-fated bid for the White House.
Speaking at the National Center for Policy Analysis' Hatton W. Sumners Distinguished Lecture Series luncheon in Dallas, Rove said the idea behind his new project was to make sure conservative candidates "passed the basic trust test that you're worthy to be in office." He said that test also applied for GOP incumbents.

1949 Bowman Complete Set (240)
Starting Bid - $2,000.00 , Sold For - $10,575.00
1949 Bowman complete set of 240 cards. 5% range from Nr/Mt to Nr/Mt-Mt, 60% range from Ex to Ex-Mt, 15% Vg-Ex, and 20% lesser. This is an outstanding set. Most of the lower-grade cards appear to be Vg-Ex or Ex but trimmed; however, upon closer inspection it is clear these cards have been long ago handcut from a sheet, a quality that we have seen many times in the past with 1949 Bowmans. Occasionally uncut sheets were distributed in 1949, we believe to youngsters that lived near Bowman in Philadelphia, and these sheets were often cut up. It is supportive and interesting to note that all of the sheet-cut cards in this set are cards with numbers between #37 and #72, and these card numbers were all printed on the same sheet. We believe that a sheet with card numbers 37-72 was carefully cut up by a youngster in 1949 and used in the assembly of this set. Back to the rest of the set: This is an extremely attractive, very carefully assembled, very clean, high-grade set, rarely offered this nice as a complete set, with many rare high numbers and most key cards in particularly high grade. While the condition of cards from this set spans several grades, even the lesser-graded cards are very pleasing and exhibit bright colors and crisp focus. Many rookie cards of Hall of Famers are featured in this classic postwar issue, highlighted by Roy Campanella, Richie Ashburn, Duke Snider, Robin Roberts, Early Wynn, and Bob Lemon. We have selected eight cards to be graded and encapsulated by PSA. Keys: #1 Bickford (Vg-Ex), 11 Boudreau (miscut on back, otherwise Ex), 23 Doerr (Ex-Mt), 24 Musial (PSA EX-MT 6), 26 Kell (Ex-Mt), 27 Feller (PSA EX 5), 29 Kiner (Ex-Mt), 33 Spahn (sheet-cut, otherwise Vg-Ex), 36 Reese (sheet-cut, otherwise Vg), 46 Roberts RC (sheet-cut, otherwise Ex), 50 Robinson (sheet-cut, otherwise Vg-Ex/Ex), 60 Berra (sheet-cut, otherwise Ex), 65 Slaughter (sheet-cut, otherwise Ex), 70 Furillo RC (sheet-cut, otherwise Ex), 84 Campanella RC (PSA EX 5), 85 Mize NOF (Ex), 98 Rizzuto NNOF (Vg-Ex), 100 Hodges RC (20/80 T/B and with slight diamond cut, Ex), 110 Wynn RC (Ex), 111 Schoendienst (Vg-Ex), 162 Roe RC (Ex-Mt), 175 Appling (Vg-Ex), 194 Branca RC (Vg-Ex), 209 Keller (Ex), 210 Gordon (Ex bordering on Ex-Mt), 214 Ashburn RC (Gd-Vg), 224 Paige (PSA EX-MT 6), 225 Coleman RC (Vg-Ex), 226 Snider RC (PSA VG-EX 4), 229 Lopat RC (Gd-Vg), 233 Doby (Vg-Ex), and 238 Lemon RC (Vg-Ex). Additional cards graded by PSA: #152 (PSA VG 3), 178 (PSA NM-MT 8), and 201 (PSA NM+ 7.5). This very impressive, carefully assembled, set, far superior to the average 1949 Bowman set, is strong, crisp, very clean, and in overall high grade. 1949 Bowman is the most underrated set in terms of rarity among Topps and Bowman sets issued between 1948 and 1955. We rarely see 1949 Bowman sets, let alone in such high grade. With a few upgrades, particularly the thirty-six sheet-cut cards representing the second series, this is a set that could provide the foundation for a world-class 1949 Bowman set. Total 240 cards. Reserve $2,000. Estimate $4,000/$6,000. SOLD FOR $10,575.00

Harvard Business School Organizational Behavior Unit Case No. 410-079
The Brooklyn, NY, neighborhood Down Under Manhattan Bridge Overpass (DUMBO) has seen a revitalization since the late 1970s. The neighborhood's business improvement district (BID) is charged with supplementing New York City's efforts in several areas, including safety, sanitation, marketing, promotional programs, capital improvements, and beautification. Since 2007, the DUMBO BID has done "small things that are collectively big" to improve the area and are in line with New York City's "plaNYC," a blueprint to become a "sustainable city" by increasing water quality, energy efficiency, and open space while decreasing greenhouse gas emissions. This year, the DUMBO BID must decide if it should continue its small actions or pursue a neighborhood-wide Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) rating while constrained by its budget, staff size, and the recession.
Learning Objective: To examine community, government, and business collaboration in transformational change.
