|The Evidence
|5.1 Water Safety
|5.1a. Garden ponds and domestic
swimming pools pose a large threat to infants and children. Adequate fencing
regulations and public education have reduced the risk in other countries. There is
evidence from observational studies that pool access barriers in private homes can reduce
the risk of child drownings by about 75% i,ii.

sports resulting in less axial loading have been associated with reduced cervical spine
injuries. The value of rule changes in other situations has not been demonstrated
i,ii .
(Health Gain Notation - 2 "likely to be beneficial")
caveat: Following rule changes in American Football which banned tactics involving charging head first, related cervical quadriplegic injuries fell by 85%.

Lemongrass Tea
$ 7.00
Brand Polish & Lather
I prefer tea over coffee and intentionally seek out tea shops on my travels. Of course there are quite a few in Bangkok containing endless versions of Asian grown teas. At one of Bangkok's small shops I found some lovely lemongrass tea. Freshly dried and fragrant I figured this would be a nice addition.
To make this soap, I steeped the lemongrass to make a tea and also incorporated some dried lemongrass throughout the soap for a little exfoliation; a bright refreshing scent that is a great way to start your day.
Ingredients: olive oil, coconut oil, avocado oil, distilled water, coconut milk, palm kernel oil, sodium hydroxide, sunflower oil, safflower oil, castor oil, white kaolin clay, rice flour, fragrance and lemongrass.
This is a handcrafted product, variances in shape, color and design will occur.

Sometimes, I look back on my time in the States and cringe so badly at the dozen bad choices that I made. Why the hell did I pour creamy French dressing all over my salad and still believe what I was about to put in my mouth was the healthiest, not to mention that I even dared to throw the guy next to me who was devouring a big slice of pizza a dirty look? Why did I have absolutely no exercising whatsoever ? I shit you not, I couldn't do a single pushup back then. Why didn't I have the balls to express myself more freely despite the fact that I was living in New York, the most accepting place in the whole wide world? The list goes on and on. It's quite baffling how only after I moved back to my non-accepting fatherland have I started to turn my belief system upside down and truly feel the need to exert my individuality. I'm not sure how that growing-up process goes for everyone, but for me it usually causes a big mess before any positive change comes about. It's especially true when it comes to my fashion.
For a long time, I was extremely terrified of colors. I adhered to black, grey, navy and all other monochromatic colors for fear of standing out in the crowd and thus being ridiculed. However, I have slowly come to a realization thanks to the wonderfully suffocating environment here that fitting in comes at the expense of everything that makes me or you unique. So, I began to tiptoe out of my sartorial comfort zone and brought home a pair of colored pants that I had never ever worn in my entire life or never thought I would actually wear one day. One thing led to another, and before I knew it my wardrobe now has some of the most daring colors in the menswear trajectory such as mint, pink, teal and yellow, to name just a few. Despite the rosy picture that those colors paint, the reality is I get even more looks and head shakes than I already do on a daily basis whenever I step outside. The old me would be horribly self-conscious, but the new me…not so much.
On to my first ever pair of yellow chinos: I bought it from REISS back in the middle of summer for an unbelievable 40-something dollars. Let's face it: this is NOT the color that you get to see especially on guys everyday, but that doesn't mean it's unwearable. On the contrary, it's highly wearable if you choose to exercise your creativity muscle a bit. Rest assured, I'm speaking from my own personal experience, documented below.
#1: Let's get off on the right foot by pairing the chinos with the three items that I'm 100%, absolutely, positively certain you have in your wardrobe: a white oxford shirt, a black overcoat and black shoes. Before putting everything on, I was skeptical whether the color combo would scream I'm- a- bee (in the lateral sense of the phrase, not Black Eyed Peas' I'm a bee, OK?) from afar, but it's turned out to be better than what I imagined and become the default way for me since. (Uniqlo White Oxford Shirt, Custom-made Coat, Dior Homme Suede Loafer and Ray-Ban Wayfarer.)#2: If you thought I already exhausted all the options after showing you 7 different ways to wear your denim shirt, you definitely thought it wrong because below I'm presenting you the 8th. This is the casual and take-no-effort kind of look for brunches with friends or a walk in the park with your lover. (Wearing my perennial favorite Abercrombie denim shirt, COS contrast sweatshirt, Dior Homme Suede, oh and Warby Parker Glasses.)#3: I understand that what I do completely defeats the purpose of double-breasted blazers, but I prefer to leave mine 100% unbuttoned. Which lends the outfit a less stiff and more effortless vibe, I think. We all know that midnight blue and yellow go together like peanut butter and jelly sandwich. And with an arm candy in the form of Ted Baker holder, I felt inexplicably editor-y going to fashion weeks. HAHA. (REISS Double-Breasted Blazer, All Saints Alpine Crew Pullover, Ted Baker Color Envelope Tablet Case, The Generic Man Wingman Wingtips, and Warby Parker glasses.)#5: This is my tribute look to all fashionistas who are defying the norms every day. Of all the ensembles that I have ever put together since the day I came out of you-know-what-it-is, this is hands-down the brightest and boldest. I don't wear this everyday because I have an office job, but every now and then I do love stirring things up. (COS Teal Knitwear, Lacoste Seersucker Striped Slip-on and obviously Warby Parker glasses.)
There you have it: The Confused Dasher's guide on how to wear the fuck out of your yellow chinos. If you don't own a pair yet, I challenge you to go grab one and start wearing it. If you already have one, I challenge you to pull it out and think of a new way to wear it. OK, one more question before I let you go: did you like this post? I sure did, so if your answer is yes, feel free to share it on your Twitter or Facebook and leave a comment below. I'd LOVE to hear what you think. Plus, if there is any item you'd like to be "solved", let me know. We're in this together, k?

Car manufacturers have done a pretty good job over the years to tempt us with car upgrade options that set us back hundreds or even thousands of dollars. We happily fork over the money to have options that allow us to change the LED lights to different colors in our Ford Flex or get a warm massage while driving a Mercedes. Or, when money's no object, we can rattle our brains playing house music with Range Rover's Meridian Audio 29-speaker, 24-channel, 1,700-watt Signature Reference 3D sound system.
But now and then, these car companies throw us a goose egg, leaving us to wonder just what on earth they were thinking. Maybe some of the options started off as great ideas until too many engineers got their hands on the design. Or perhaps a few employees thought it would be funny to see how far down the production line a bad idea would go. Regardless, here are 10 of the weirdest car options.
1. Mercedes-Benz CL granite trim
Mercedes-Benz didn't get the memo: Not only is granite stone out for kitchen counters, it wasn't even in-style for cars — ever. But for a mere $2,650, the automaker would offer to weigh your car down with rocks. Seeing polished stone in a car doesn't exactly have the same zippy feeling as carbon fiber or brushed aluminum, although, since it was less than a millimeter thick, it didn't seem to weigh the car down too much.

True Death- Loss of Self
He was the rearguard
Even wile asleep he hears
The Final Watchman.
Crazy like a fox
He knew where the foxholes were
And which to reveal.
Loss of Memory
Loss of Self, petrifying
The Dolphins may know
The Dolphins you say?
See, they never fully sleep
must store while awake.
Mammals with a charge
We will change when required
To change or to drown
But our minds will drown
Not our bodies, not this time
Dream and memory
How early is it?
Alzheimer's, my great named fear
Or perhaps, how late?
I fear the loss of
The unknown more then the known
For this is True Death

Read These Tips To Learn More About Baseball
How much do you think you know about the sport of baseball? Even the greats can always learn a thing or two about how to better their game. So, if you really want to become a better player, then you're going to have to put in the hard work using the tips provided in this article.
If you'd really like your batting average to increase, attempt to hit the ball towards where the fence is instead of over it. You should try to get the ball to come back to the place it came from. Most times that balls are hit into the air, they're easily caught.
You can practice alone. A pitching machine allows you to set the speed of the ball. By loading several baseballs into the machine, you can practice hitting without needing a pitcher. This electronic machine is perfect for those who wish to practice baseball alone. Pitching machines can be picked up at your local sporting goods store.

YouTube And Politics
Sticking with the same topic for an unprecedented two days in a row, here's more on YouTube's blossoming role in U.S. politics.
Depending on your biases and crystal ball, YouTube will be either:
- The primary avenue going forward for political dirty tricks in the form of fraudulent, deceptive and misleading attack videos;
- The ultimate lens through which we scrutinize the minute-by-minute behavior and foibles of the candidates … at a great price in terms of candidates' personal privacy and candor;
- A tool enabling exciting new forms of engagement and dialogue in politics, enabling candidates to present themselves and their priorities in a totally unmediated, unfiltered environment, and enabling supporters to prosyletize in new and powerful ways;
- The ultimate enforcer of candidate accountability, revealing any inconsistencies in positions and proposals designed to pander to different audiences; and/or,
- The medium through which some unknown 26-year-old galvanizes the under-30 generation and diverts 5 million write-in votes from legitimate presidential candidates, arguably changing the outcome.
Here's YouTube in '08: Kingmaker and Heartbreaker, a good overview of how YouTube is now impacting political campaigning, plus Can YouTube Improve Politics?, an entertaining video sampler of online political video compiled by YouTube itself.
Look at this stuff, and think about how YouTube can be used to advance your cause or charity.

Central High School announced last week that Charles Brown will become the head coach of the Eagles' basketball team. He will replace retiring coach Mike Connelley, who has led the Eagles for the last five years. Brown has been the junior varsity basketball coach for the past four years, as well as an assistant varsity coach.
The Central High Lady Eagles, who finished fourth in the region traveled, to Abbeville April 29 and handed the top-seeded Abbeville Lady Panthers a 5-1 loss behind superb pitching by Sarah Stegall.
Stegall pitched five innings, striking out five, walking four and allowing only two hits. Hannah Killough came in for the save, striking out three and giving up no hits or walks.
Central High School's girls' and boys' track team advanced to the Upper State finals to be held at Keenan, Saturday, May 6, at noon after competing in the Region IVAA meet on April25 at Buford High.

Christian Louboutin Take a Step Forward in Diversifying the Fashion Industry
Imogen Lancaster explains how the new range of Christian Louboutin heels is diversifying the fashion industryWritten by Imogen Lancaster on 5th July 2017
Au Naturel Hair
Think waves, curls and body. After all who has the time to blow dry and straighten only to step outside and have all your hard work ruined by disruptive winds and drizzling rain? Just wash and go or plait your hair and leave it to dry for casual waves and added definition.
Reading Week
For the lucky ones, this week is a great time to have a major catch up, both with family and friends and unfinished work (although we obviously do all of our reading all of the time - not!). This is the perfect opportunity to go home, catch up with family, appreciate home cooked food and have a nice long relax before exams roll around.
Cadbury's Creme Eggs
These delicious eggs of sugary gloop are back again and they never fail to disappoint. And this year there is even a Creme Egg restaurant to satisfy our appetites for the sweet treats. So pick some up and enjoy them while you can, although try not to eat them all at once!
Chapped Lips
With Valentine's day just around the corner, chapped lips are definitely not what we want! No matter how much lip balm you apply, they are still dry and the gale force winds outside are only making them worse!
Boohoo Delivery
Seriously though, when will they sort it out? It's a miracle if your parcel comes on time or if it even comes at all! The disappointment of them cancelling your order of that dress you really wanted is just too much to handle sometimes.

Summer Shoes
May 31st, 2009 at 10:12pm
It's time for one of my very favorite rites of spring! Summer shoes! Have you seen some of these cute Dansko slides they have this year? I could totally see a couple pairs of these for hanging out at the pool. I just can't imagine going into the summer season without at least one new pair of summer shoes to usher in the season.

The third encounter
The analysis of those Verses in Chapter 10 which describe the action has now been completed. Other Verses include references to helicopters or confirm the identity of the vehicle; the description of the wheels again takes much space. With a single exception, descriptions are identical with those of the first encounter, so that repetition is not necessary. The start, however, is described more clearly than ever before: [p.86]
This describes how the rotor bladeswith the specific objective "to mount up from the earth"were brought into their horizontal working position for the start. With his admirable keenness of observation, Ezekiel describes this action and its motivation in a mere secondary clause pertaining to a description of the wheel.
The above mentioned single exception in the description relates to Verse 12, which reads as follows in the translations I used:
It was explained in the technical description that "eyes" meant the wheel profile patterns that cause resistance to skidding. The text of Reference 7 corresponds to this view. All the others depart from it. Reference 6 comes to the following conclusion in its commentary on page 53: ". . . they do not refer to the cherubim, but to the various parts of the wheels that is to say, the whole of the wheels was full of eyes." The meaning of this commentary is consistent with the translations given in Reference 2 and 3. The difficulty here seems to lie much more in the original text than in the translation.
With the exception of the translation in Reference 7, the text of Chapter 10, Verse 12, is therefore not in agreement with Chapter 1, Verse 18, because there we read without any ambiguity that ". . . their rims were full of eyes round about. . ." I derive some satisfaction from pointing out that we have the only case where two descriptions do not coincide. Everywhere else, whenever repetitions occur or subjects are described that have technical connotations, there is absolute consistency. This fact shows convincingly how well founded and consistent Ezekiel's report is.
But even in this single exception there is no contradiction but merely a lack of agreement. Two criteria help in the clarification of this case, one of literary and the other of a technical nature. From a literary viewpoint there is a juxtaposition between the quite clear structure of the first Chapter and the confused grouping of material in Chapter 10. The uncertainty reflected in the order of the Verses of Chapter 10 makes it appear less reliable than Chapter 1. Moreover, there is at least one translation in Chapter 10 that is practically identical with the Verse in Chapter 1. Viewed therefore from a literary angle, it is Verse 18 of Chapter 1, which reads ". . . their rims were full of eyes round about . . ." that has the greater weight. From a technical viewpoint this interpretation is undoubtedly the right one. Other interpretations disqualify themselves because none of the earlier descriptions of main body, capsule, and helicopters contain any reference whatsoever to "eyes." On the contrary. The main body is represented as being crystallike, the capsule as bright and reflective; both descriptions rule out any disruption of surfaces by structural patterns.
Therefore, the statement in Verse 12: "And their whole body, and their backs, and their hands, and their wings, and the wheels were full of eyes round about. . ." can be regarded with certainty as incorrect.
Parts of the wheels appear to revolve faster than would seem consistent with the speed of their movement. In view of the wheel design (Fig. 10 and Appendix), the expression "wheel work" is a very fitting description of the separate rotation of the segments. Noteworthy is the hint of a conversation (". . . were called in my hearing . . ."). It may well be that this Verse should more appropriately have followed Verse 6 of Chapter 10 which includes the second order by the commander: "Take fire from between the wheels. . ." This fragmentary allusion to a conversation may of course also pertain to a lost portion of the document.
The account of the faces differs somewhat from that given in Chapter 1 where we read:
The translations compare as follows:
The order of the faces is the same in the texts of the two Chapters; there are, however, uncertainties with regard to the character of the first face which is variously given as that of a cherub, an ox, or a bull. From a technical viewpoint this uncertainty is relevant only insofar it indicates that the shape of the fairing in that area was complex and difficult to describe.
With regard to the faces Ezekiel says explicitly:
He also confirms the identity of the spaceship observed with the one of the first encounter:
The jump from the singular to the plural is quite conspicuous. However, References 3 and 7 use the plural in both cases. Nevertheless the version reproduced above prevails. It lends itself to an easy explanation if we relate the beginning to the total appearance and the sequel to the helicopters. This applies especially to the overall picture because Ezekiel explicitly compares this with what he had seen by the Chebar River. Throughout this chapter the helicopters are called cherubim, which justifies our speaking of helicopters in the plural (plural form: -im). On the other hand the use of the term. "living creature" is confusing when it relates to the vehicle, since Ezekiel used it earlier to identify the helicopters. However, since Ezekiel stresses the identity with the spaceships he had observed earlier, this ambiguity has no technical significance.
Verse 1: The commentary of Reference 6, page 56, identifies the "east gate" to which Ezekiel is now brought as the gate of the outer court. We know from Chapter 10, Verse 19, that a short while earlier the commander too had flown there with his spaceship. The beginning of this verse includes a phrase which is often repeated: "The spirit lifted me up, and brought me . . ." It comes up whenever Ezekiel either boards the spaceship or experiences a change in his location other than by walking. We shall return later to the analysis of this expression.
Verse 2: Since now both Ezekiel and the commander are at the east gate, it is no surprise to read that the commander speaks again to Ezekiel. It is noteworthy, however, that Verses 22 to 24 rule out the presence of Ezekiel in the capsule. The commander must therefore have left it again and necessarily must have returned to it before takeoff. The absence of any corresponding text must unfortunately lead to the conclusion that only a fragment came down to us with the beginning of Chapter 11. The missing part is not of essential significance to either the prophetic or the technical aspect of Ezekiel's report, yet it would no doubt have been of considerable technical interest.
Verse 22: We are witnessing activity immediately preceding the flight. With the start of the rotor, the blades that were hanging downward are "lifted up"; they begin to develop lift and the whole vehiclecrowned by the glittering capsule of the commanderrolls a short distance from its location. Ezekiel registers the picture in his memory with almost photographic sharpness.
Verse 23: Then follows the takeoff, the ascent, and eventually the horizontal flight to the "mountain which is on the east side of the city."
These two Verses are of unusual value: They constitute an eyewitness report by an onlooker! Somebody is speaking to us, who has observed the whole procedure from the outside. These few sentences give documentary evidence of something extraordinary: A man describes the takeoff and terrestrial flight of a spacecraft, without excitement, in sober, matter-of-fact words, 2500 years before our time!
Something else is striking in this report, namely, the avoidance of the name whichaccording to the commentatorsis borne by this mountain: the Mount of Olives.
Verse 24: At the beginning we encounter again two already well-known expressions ("the spirit" and "in the vision of God") which tell us that Ezekiel boards a spaceship and flies in it. Since he had been flown here, he must have been brought back by air too, so that the fact that he is taking this flight is no surprise. Yet it quickly assumes significance as we realize that the vehicle that was the focus of attention throughout this third encounter has just left. Besides, the final Verses of this Chapter inform us that Ezekiel is not flying home in the same spaceship in which he came. This situation leads to the conclusion of the presence of a second spacecraft. Such a conclusion cannot really surprise; it was pointed out earlier that the deployment of a single vehiclewhich moreover seems to be concerned exclusively with Ezekielis too illogical and uneconomical to be credible.
As we ponder over the events that took place here and of which we can perceive only a dim outline, we come to regard the presence of a second spaceship as quite justified. There are several indications that the removal of a "hot" part was of a critical nature (Chapter 10, Verse 7). A second spacecraft was therefore very desirable. The commander of the first could reach it, if necessary, with the aid of his capsule; after all, he did summon the capsule to his side. That second spaceship must have been at a safe distance from the scene of the critical procedure, so as not to be damaged in case of an accident. Therefore Ezekiel could not have seen it earlier.
In addition, the availability of the second spaceship easily resolves the "transportation problem" of Ezekiel in Verse 1: Since the critical moment had passed, the commander could leave his spaceship and take Ezekiel to the east gate. In the course of the next encounter we shall be confronted with several short flights of this kind, at which time we shall discuss them in more detail. [p.92]

"Ellie Parker" is the sort of movie that you wish you could have made
in college. It's funny, somewhat different, and has a beautiful leading
lady, that of which goes by the name of Naomi Watts in this case. It
also has an incredibly low budget.
As a matter of fact, it looks as though it could have been a college student's project. An hour and a half showcasing Naomi Watt's fantastic amount of talent as Ellie Parker: A struggling actress jumping from audition to audition with the hope of landing a part in anything she can get. Her loser boyfriend is no help, neither is her agent, and as the days go by, she loses more and more hope.
Whether she's cruising down Sunset Strip to her next audition, or yelling into her cellular flying down the 101, there is a part of us throughout the entire movie that wants to know what is going to happen to Ellie next. She's lovable. She's talented. She's been through more than we (the audience) can begin to understand. But most importantly, she's determined.
If you adore Watts as much as this reviewer does and you want to see her in something realistic (as close as it gets), check out "Ellie Parker". You won't get to see her like this in "King Kong." That's for sure.
As far as things in 2003 go, this was the smartest thing in Hollywood I've seen happen all year. This came at a perfect time in her career and was just brilliant. I love Nicole Kidman as it is, and seeing this tonight was magnificent and a real treat to see my favorite actress (in the whole wide world) honored.
I went into this movie not expecting anything at all, the only reason I
wanted to see it was because of the hype surrounding it. Well, yesterday
went into the theater, the lights went down and the movie started at an
incredibly fast pace. The very first scene reminded me in a way of those
70's horror flicks. Once the opening titles started to role, I knew I was
for one hell of a movie.
Sure, the movie DOES star Eliza "Bring It On" Dushku, but there is nothing mushy, innocent, or heartfelt about her role in the film. She really busted her ass for some of the scenes in this movie, so much respect goes to her for that.
The rest of the cast was great, some of them which dont last very long, which was another thing that surprised me. I telegraphed who would live and who would die when I first saw everyone together for the first time, and boy was I wrong, very wrong.
As for the gore and violence factor in this movie, it was perfect for any horror fan, or someone who's just looking for a few shocks and awes. There are some great sequences in the movie, such as the scene in the trees, the finale, among others. I was very impressed by every scene in this movie.
As I walked out of the theater, the first thing that ran through my mind is the same thing that always runs through my mind whenever I like a movie " I want to see this again!" And " This movie is going to melt in my DVD player" I really, really, liked this movie. It was fast, incredibly entertaining, and well done movie.

Parent Roundtable: Before and After Gene Therapy
December 2, 2016
21st Century Cures Act winds its way through the lame duck Congress, Iĺm reminded of a spellbinding dinner on Sunday night, October 16. It was the eve of the annual "breakthrough summit" for the National Organization for Rare Disorders, and Iĺd introduced a group of new friends to share their stories of life with a child who has had, or will have, gene therapy.

Jono Lancaster Fights Treacher Collins Disease With Attitude
October 28, 2015
Jono Lancaster was born 30 years ago, his parents took one look at his face, and abandoned him. Today Jono, who has Treacher Collins syndrome, travels the world meeting kids with the condition and encouraging them to harness the greatest tool against the genetic disease ľ a positive attitude. Jono kicked off the National Organization for Rare Disorders (NORD) Breakthrough Summit October 21 by sharing his story.When
People with Treacher Collins syndrome do not have certain facial bones, and about half have hearing loss. Only 1 in 50,000 people in the US has it, and about 1 in 10,000 in the UK, Jono's home. Most cases are autosomal dominant and due to mutations in the TCOF1 gene.
But this post isnĺt about DNA. It's about an incredible young man who is smart, funny, and caring, and quite beautiful. Here in Jonoĺs own words, from the NORD conference:
ôI was born with a genetic condition that affects my facial features. I have no cheekbones, and so my eyes dip down. I love my little ears, they donĺt get cold at night. But I do need hearing aids.
Iĺm one of the lucky ones. More severely affected individuals need help with feeding and breathing. I met some kids whoĺve had more than 70 surgeries to correct problems that would make their lives easier.
My birth parents had no idea. When I was born, they were in total shock. I was out of the hospital 36 hours after I was born. Social services found someone to look after me. The foster carer was a lady called Jean. She was very short, and all her kids were grown, and she had so much love to give. Social Services told Jean there was a child in hospital whose parents were horrified, and there was no maternal bond. Jean said, ôHow could you not love a child?ö She took one look at me and said, ôHell yeah, letĺs make this happen!ö (more…)
Tess's Tale: Social Media Catalyzes Rare Disease Diagnosis
September 17, 2015
The National Human Genome Research Instituteĺs Undiagnosed Diseases Network (UDN) just announced the UDN Gateway. This online application portal will guide patients to a growing national network of clinical sites, including six new ones and two genome sequencing centers. The Gateway replaces paper-based application to specific clinical centers for the few coveted slots. (more…)
Aicardi Syndrome: Genome Sequencing Illuminates Another Rare Disease
July 1, 2015
A few weeks ago, a study published in Investigative Ophthalmology and Visual Science caught my attention. Researchers at the Translational Genomics Research Institute (TGen) in Phoenix used exome and genome sequencing to probe the origins of a condition I'd never heard of -- and the findings were surprising.

No Ice Buckets or Pink Ribbons for Very Rare Genetic Diseases
October 10, 2014
According to the National Organization for Rare Disorders, ôrare diseaseö in the U.S. means affecting fewer than 200,000 people. These conditions number about 6,800, collectively affecting nearly 30 million Americans or 1 in 10 people. Many are single-gene diseases. That means that the chance of more than one family member being affected is quite high (see Mendel's first law). Unlike those, most (>90%) cases of ALS and breast cancer arenĺt inherited as single-gene traits, but are sporadic. Mutations happen during a personĺs lifetime in somatic cells, perhaps due to an environmental trigger. A family with one member who has ALS wouldn't have as great a chance as it affecting another as a family with Huntington disease, for example.
With so many causes of rare diseases, comparing statistics is an apples-and-oranges exercise. But I collected a few anyway, for prevalence (the percentage of a population with a particular disease at a given time). (more…)
Treat Cellulite, or Rare Diseases?
April 11, 2012
ôNext, news that all women will want to hear!ö teased the commentator on the increasingly imbecilic Today Show.
Soon I learned that, finally, we womenfolk need no longer suffer from the ôhorrible, dimpled Ĺorange peelĺ skinö of cellulite. The new miracle cure sounded like ôcellulase,ö an enzyme that breaks down wood.
Googling, I soon discovered that ôCellulazeö is instead a new laser technique that ôpinpoints and disrupts dimpled pockets of herniated fatö and melts away the collagen cords that hold in place the vile lipid, while promoting formation of new collagen and elastin. It joins a long list of cellulite remedies, including sound waves, radio waves, massage, retinol, red algae patches, and extracts from licorice roots, horse chestnut, and kola. The market is $2.3 billion. (more…)

Doctors once blamed patients for anticipation, as if people with sick older relatives could worry themselves into suffering similarly. Then, in 1991, discovery of a new type of mutation explained the curious worsening of fragile X syndrome: an expanding triplet repeat. (more…)
Personal Genome Sequencing: Too Much Information?
October 18, 2011
October 11-15, 6,200 researchers and clinicians met in Montreal for the 12th International Congress of Human Genetics. After my brain recovered from the long days of meetings, one panel discussion emerged as my favorite: what I thought was going to be a dull comparison of DNA sequencing technologies turned out to be a spirited look at (more…)

Lakers face worst season in history
January 7, 2016
Hang on for a minute...we're trying to find some more stories you might like.
Email This Story
The Los Angeles Lakers are arguably the most successful franchise in the history of sports. With 16 championships, 31 conference titles and 11 Hall of Famers, the Lakers successful legacy is nearly unrivaled. However, the past is the past, and the Lakers are now in a predicament that they have never been in during their 60 years of existence.
The Lakers are now entering their 3rd season since their last playoff appearance. Kobe Bryant, the face the Lakers for the past 19 years, has had three major injuries since April 2013. The arrival of Dwight Howard in the summer of 2012 had Lakers fans thinking that a Dwight-Kobe Lakers dynasty was on the way. But after a disappointing season and a first round whooping from the San Antonia Spurs, Dwight Howard decided to ditch the purple and gold and team up with James Harden on the Houston Rockets. That was the first time that a star had left the Lakers in free agency, and only was the start of their trouble.
The last two seasons have been abysmal for the Lakers. Kobe has only played in 41 games since tearing his Achilles in 2013. The team finished with a 21-61 record during the 2014-2015 season, the worst in Lakers history. The departure of long time Laker Pau Gasol was very much noticed with no one able to take over in Kobe's absence. Another offseason passed and the Lakers were still unable to lure anyone that would significantly change their team. The Lakers used to be the holy grail of free agency, with every player wanting to sign with them. Nowadays, players are settling for better teams rather than bigger markets. How could a franchise with such a storied history fall so far?
This season is shaping up to be another miserable one for Lakers fans. Kobe has been averaging only 15.5 points a game, largely because he is shooting a terrible 30 percent from the field and 20 percent from 3-point range. Lakers rookie D'Angelo Russell has only been averaging 10.4 points a game, disappointing since he was the second pick in the draft last summer. Offseason additions Lou Williams and Roy Hibbert are not doing enough to help the team win games. The Lakers are off to a 2-14 start and it looks like another NBA draft lottery bound season is upon them.
How can the Lakers get back to being one of the NBA's flag ship teams? Is the issue owner Jim Buss or head coach Byron Scott? Is Kobe the problem? One thing is obvious, the Lakers need to change the direction they are going and do it fast. Los Angeles should be the Lakers' city, not the Clippers. With Kobe recently announcing that he plans to retire at the end of the season, it gives the Lakers some much needed flexibility. The Lakers organization needs to adjust its game plan and adapt to today's NBA if they are going to be a dominant franchise once again.

In the summer of 2010, photographer Brandon Stanton began an ambitious project -to single-handedly create a photographic census of New York City. The photos he took and the accompanying interviews became the blog Humans of New York. In the first three years, his audience steadily grew from a few hundred to over one million. In 2013, his book Humans of New York, based on that blog, was published and immediately catapulted to the top of the NY Times Bestseller List. It has appeared on that list for over twenty-five weeks to date. The appeal of HONY has been so great that in the course of the next year Brandon's following increased tenfold to, now, over 12 million followers on Facebook. In the summer of 2014, the UN chose him to travel around the world on a goodwill mission that had followers meeting people from Iraq to the Ukraine to Mexico City via the photos he took. Now, Brandon is back with the follow up to Humans of New York that his loyal followers have been waiting for: Humans of New York: Stories. Ever since Brandon began interviewing people on the streets of NY, the dialogue he's had with them has increasingly become as in-depth, intriguing and moving as the photos themselves. Humans of New York: Stories presents a whole new group of humans, complete with stories that delve deeper and surprise with greater candour. Let Brandon Stanton and the people he's photographed astonish you.

Hi Bob,
Just wanted to say THANKS so much for all your work. So very much appreciated to have a relief teaching network.
I need to tell you though (as a Tasmanian) folk can come any time of year, especially winter, to enjoy the state. Don't let the cooler time put you off. It is a really busy time of year with the Winter Film Festival and Dark MoFo – folk will enjoy it nonstop. Maybe the science teachers want to come for the CONSTA Science Conference during the winter break???
That's just a side point though. Thanks again for all your work.

Sutton Common Rovers kicked off their league campaign with a disappointing 3-1 defeat at home to one of the pre-season title favourites Camberley Town, their third straight opening day defeat, writes Gary Brigden.
Darren Salmon made several changes from the side that had beaten Canterbury City in the FA Cup, including giving a debut to left-back Matt Tanton.
SCR started brightly, with Andrew White being denied by Camberley keeper Kallum Lunn and Marlon Rodney firing an effort over the bar.
Aside from one excellent save by SCR skipper Craig Bradshaw, from an Adam Liddle drive, it was a relatively comfortable half for SCR, with no indication of what was to come.
Camberley took the lead five minutes into the second half, when neat interplay on the edge of the SCR area, between Adam Liddle and Josh Wood saw Wood beat Bradshaw with a low shot to put the visitors ahead.
SCR tried to respond but all to often passes went astray or were not collected by the receiver, and Camberley struck again on 60 minutes.
A corner into the box saw pushing and shoving, as you see at every corner, with White being pulled up for hauling down Liddall, Marcus Cousins despatched the spot kick high to Bradshaw's right for 2-0.
Salmon introduced Matt Auletta and Jay Jones in a bid to get back into the game, but Camberley were the dominant side, and SCR offering little.
The visitors made it 3-0 with just over five minutes remaining when a mistake at the back allowed Wood the simple task of rolling into an empty net.
For the SCR faithful there was a consolation goal, with substitute Liam Holden firing home from distance in stoppage time.
Rovers travel to Knaphill on Tuesday evening (kick-off 7.45pm) before hosting Eastbourne Town in the Preliminary Round of the FA Cup at Sutton United FC on Saturday (kick-off 3pm).
