Dr. Lawrence Gibson likens bad health information on the Internet to food poisoning.
Consumers, he says, need to be aware and will find reliable information at MayoClinic.com.
Dr. Gibson, a Covington, Ky., native, has been with Mayo Clinic since 1986 and is board certified in dermatology, dermatopathology and immunodermatology. | He is a professor of dermatology at Mayo Medical School and a consultant in the Department of Dermatology.
Dr. Gibson has served as the fellowship director for dermatopathology and as chair of the Laboratory Division in the Department of Dermatology. He is especially interested in inflammatory disorders of the skin, including vasculitis, and in lymphoma affecting the skin.

SEIU Local 284 has issued a report titled “I.O.U.: How Wells Fargo and U.S. Bank Have Shortchanged Minnesota Schools” that lays some of the blame for a $2.4 billion school shift and other shortfalls in school funding on the practices of the state’s largest banks and their executives.
School staff at Westonka Schools are working to highlight key findings of the report for school officials. They also are embarking on a multi-district effort to ask school districts across the state to examine whether the banks they do business with practice responsible lending and lobbying policies.
“We believe that it makes sense for the district to | look at how it might use its financial relationships to strengthen the economic foundation for education in the community. This foundation is largely built on stable home ownership and of course jobs,” said Desiree Hemstock who works for the Westonka school district | [

“When does regulating a person’s habits in the name of good health become our moral and social duty?” Dr. David Agus asks in a New York Times op ed. The answer, says Agus, is “when all of us are stuck paying for one another’s medical bills (which is what we do now, by way of Medicare, Medicaid and other taxpayer-financed health care programs).”
In other words, one of the costs of Obamacare and other government health assistance is that we lose our freedom to eat what we want and behave how we like. Agus uses this reasoning to argue that, just as we require people to use seat belts when they drive on public roads, we should require that most men over 45 and women over 55 take a daily dose of aspirin.
The gentle readers of the New York Times respond mainly by arguing that not everyone would benefit from taking aspirin or that some other treatment should be | mandated as well. Out of 107 comments, fewer than a half dozen mention that Agus’ reasoning takes away people’s freedom.
Of course, this reasoning has been used before to impose bans and/or higher taxes on sugary or fatty foods and drinks. Agus’ twist is to mandate certain behaviors rather than ban them, but either way is a loss of freedom.
Agus does say that such steps should be | [

Killing the ‘living dead’
A special report on the Pakistani drugs trade
In Karachi, Pakistan, they are called the ‘living dead’; scavenging for food in the dirtiest of the open garbage heaps, or squatting cock-style in rows in front of cheap hotels in congested market places just in case a customer buys them a free meal. They can be seen sitting in groups on pavements, or even inside the manholes of the underground drainage lines, inhaling the lethal whitish fumes. They are called heroinchis, or heroin addicts, easily identified because of their dirty sh | alwar-kamiz (baggy Pakistani shirts and trousers), unshaven faces, the lost gaze in their eyes and the pale colour of their skin.
‘Between themselves these two million heroin addicts puff away 130 metric tons of the deadly white powder each year,’ says Pakistani psychiatrist Dr Saleem Azam. The last national survey showed that the number of heroin addicts had grown seven per cent per year between 1988 and 1993, and Dr Azam conservatively estimates the same growth rate from | [

PARK CITY, UT (Nov 30) – The U.S. Ski and Snowboard Association (USSA) today named Helly Hansen as the official baselayer of the U.S. Alpine Ski Team. The team’s 48 athletes will wear Helly Hansen’s baselayers during competitions beginning this week at the Audi Birds of Prey World Cup event at Beaver Creek, CO, through the end of the 2016 season.
The USSA chose Oslo-based Helly Hansen due to the company’s shared commitment to performance, innovation and style. U.S. Ski Team athletes will wear HH Dry, HH Dry Revolution and HH Warm baselayers during more than 75 World Cup races in 12 countries over the course of each season.
Helly Hansen introduced the | world’s first technical base layers in the early 1970s featuring its exclusive LIFA® technology. LIFA is a hydrophobic fiber that inherently stays dry on the inside by pulling excess moisture away from the skin unlike wicking wool and polyester alternatives. | [

Our data, ourselves
What if privacy is keeping us from reaping the real benefits of the infosphere?
If you’re obsessive about your health, and you have $100 to spare, the Fitbit is a portable tracking device you can wear on your wrist that logs, in real time, how many calories you’ve burned, how far you’ve walked, how many steps you’ve taken, and how many hours you’ve slept.

I wasn't going to write a blog today. I just wasn't feeling it. I turned on my dvr'd Anderson Cooper to pictures of people starving. Of children who looked like bundles of bones wrapped in their mother's arms. Their eyes large and feverish in their tiny faces. I felt something in me crack.
My youngest is sitting next to me munching on crackers. And if she is still hungry there are more crackers or hot dogs and clean water to drink. We joke about how fat she is but today I am grateful for her snugly rolls and potbelly busting out of her shirt. I cannot imagine being a mother who has to watch her child starve to death.
When I am hungry I am extraordinarily whiny and I complain about how I am starving. I have never been starving. These people are truly starving and dying. And I feel helpless. I feel overwhelmed and I cry for them.

Today, Zen Studios released its latest update to its PlayStation Network-exclusive flipper sim Zen Pinball. The Halloween-themed pinball table is titled Paranormal and features crypts, ghouls, and "the world's first"10-flipper playfield. However, even without the new offering, Zen Studios has been performing well on the PSN, as Sony announced today that the Zen Pinball was the top paid download on the service in September.
Though Sony did not offer sales numbers, the publisher did provide a look at the service's top 10 sellers. Following Zen Pinball was The Behemoth's Castle Crashers, which received a positive critical reception on its debut for the service at the end of August. A pair of PSP Minis followed, as Blast Off and Echoes slotted in at third and fourth. Rounding out the top five was Sony's Syphon Filter 3, which was first released on the original PlayStation in 2001.
| Sega's Sonic Adventure, which itself was first released on the Dreamcast, fell in at sixth, while Hudson's aquatic sim My Aquarium picked up a seventh-place finish.

The FA is targeting me, says Ferguson
Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson has played down claims that he will not be charged by the Football Association for his outburst directed at match official Simon Beck, remarking: "I wouldn't bet on it."
With the Red Devils leading 1-0 in their Premier League game against Tottenham on January 20, Wayne Rooney went down in the penalty area after appearing to be fouled by Spurs defender Steven Caulker but no spot kick was given, prompting the Scot to criticise the official's performance in his post-match observations.

Product Description :
A few companies exist which produce dome shaped structures using materials such as concrete, granite, molded plastic and sheet metal, but has no comparison from the features listed above. A handful of companies manufacture molded fiberglass structures, but none has developed a system comparable to that of Domes, which offers interlocking double fiberglass panels containing thermal barrier inlays (polyurethane foam insulation and optional foil sandwiched between fiberglass layers) and multiple floor plans using modular components.
Several key features of the molded modular fiberglass structure make it uniquely suited for such applications, including:
- No maintenance (the fiberglass panels used to construct the house require no painting and do not deteriorate from weather, rot, or insect infestation);
- Lower heating and cooling cost (the fiberglass panels have insulation built into them and the dome shape reduces by thirty percent the cubic feet of interior air to be heated or cooled, resulting in a 28+ R-factor);
| - Structural strength (the curved surface of the panels reduces wind resistance, enabling the house to withstand straight-line winds of 140 miles per hour or more);
- Quick construction (a fiberglass home can be assembled, erected in one or two days, and finished inside within a period of two or three weeks);
- Earthquake resistance (the fiberglass panels flex instead of breaking);
- Water resistance ( | [

This morning I noticed my first survey invitation; I completed the survey, eager to see what the platform was like.
A good user experience
I was using Twitter’s iPhone app. The promoted tweet came 2nd in my feed (below). The tweet came from @TwitterSurveys rather than an individual or research sponsor. Users know that the invite is bona fide and objective.
There was no introduction or preamble, straight into the first question. Rather than linking to another site, the user fills out the survey within the Tweet itself, giving a seamless experience.
The user interface is clean: text is kept to a minimum & the survey buttons are large so even those with sausage fingers won’t mis-code.
There is a FAQ link on | each survey screen to reassure respondents. Each screen also tells the user how many questions are left, managing expectations.
My survey was short, 4 pre-coded questions plus a “thank & close” page: 5 clicks in all. It took me about 15 seconds to complete.

Now that the big kahunaOsama bin Ladenhas been killed, the War on Terror is much less exciting. Even before Osamas demise, experts sent chills through the massive post-9/11 U.S. government anti-terrorism bureaucracies by concluding that the threat from al-Qaeda had been much weakened by the group s own bloody excesses against civilians, many of whom were Muslims. Yet the way government works, every agencywhether fighting poverty, obesity, childhood acne, or terrorismneeds a threat to hype to keep the cash flowing in from scared taxpayers. So the anti-terrorism agencies need to keep the threat, however declining, fresh in the public mind and publicize their efforts to successfully combat the danger.

On Friday, my friends and I caught the second half of a Cubs-Royals game in Surprise, and then followed up with some Giants-Dodgers in Glendale.

Yesterday we found out that Winfield is not quite cut out for piracy. Or at least not on windy days. Winfield and I joined our good friends as they celebrated their 7-year-old twin boys’ birthday. We all went on a trip on the Friends Good Will. It was really awesome. Beautiful day on a really cool old boat. The first 20 minutes of the trip were glorious. Then it got a bit choppy and there were quite a few green faces on board. Winfield left his lunch on the deck. I brought my camera but only took about 15 pictures. Even I got seasick and I tend to have a stomach that never gives me trouble. Even with the seasickness we had a really amazing time.

ESPN analyst Mark Dixon has added sideline reporter and play-by-play caller to his list of titles. He patrolled the sideline of No. 5 Johns Hopkins’ 15-6 rout of Siena on Friday and will provide analysis for the Moe’s Southwest Grill Classic doubleheader in Jacksonville on Sunday involving No. 10 Denver against No. 18 Penn State and No. 15 Ohio State against Jacksonville. The former Blue Jays midfielder, who can be followed on Twitter at @DixonLacrosse, discussed his thoughts on the pace of play, Duke’s loss to Denver and one team that's not getting enough attention.

A Madison man used cellphone tracking software to help police find a man arrested on suspicion of burglary.
Police said the 35-year-old man started tracking his 19-year-old girlfriend’s smart phone after it was taken from a business at 208 State Street at 10:30 a.m. Saturday. The woman was working at the store, and the burglar also took an iPod and cash from a back office, police said.
Police said the tracking software led the man to James Madison Park where he called his girlfriend’s phone and | confronted a man who had a phone that started ringing. The man with the phone gave it back, along with the iPod, but denied having any stolen cash, police said. He opened his wallet to prove it and showed the man his ID, according to police.

The British Deputy PM Nick Clegg has described settlement activity as “an act of vandalism”(!!!) to the “peace process” during a press conference with Mahmud Abbas in London!! This, despite describing himself as a strong supporter of Israel, which he viewed as a “beacon of democracy in the region.” (Jerusalem Post, January 17, 2012)
In view of this outrageous insult, his complement is less than worthless!! But that's British diplomacy for you. The British Balfour Declaration, November, 1917, and subsequent INTERNATIONAL TREATIES ratified 1920-1922, were supposed to help the Jewish People to reestablish their state in their ancient homeland. After recognizing their “connection”(!) to the Land of Israel, the British even managed to convince the French to give up the East Bank of the Jordan River (the French occupied that land in World War I), for the Jewish People, to ensure that the Jewish People will have a viable state.

It is no longer deniable by anyone paying attention, that we are living through an all out war on women's lives, women's rights, and women's futures. This is not a minor matter; women are half of humanity. Defeating this war is everybody's responsibility.
This is why this Saturday at noon I will be out in front of St. Patrick's Cathedral in New York City with a rowdy band of others screaming at the top of my lungs. This is the home of Timothy Dolan who spearheaded the recent attacks on birth control, which come on top of decades of attacks on abortion. Nearly 90% of counties now lack an abortion provider.
From there, we will march to the porn stores in Times Square and once again scream at the tops of our lungs. We will protest these stores because pornography has become more violent, more humiliating, and more cruel towards women – even as it has become more mainstream.
In reality, there is no | meaningful difference between the Bible's view of women and pornography's view of women. Both reduce women to “things” to be controlled by men. The church reduces women to breeders. Porn reduces women to sex objects to be brutalized and degraded. We are neither. Women are human beings. On Saturday, we are shaking off any remnants of our own passivity and launching a new movement that will not stop until the full humanity of all women is recognized throughout society and throughout the world.

HYDEN — A Leslie County teen who had gone missing from the Backwoods area of Hazard earlier this month is back home and unharmed.
Austin Deaton walked into the Mary Breckenridge Hospital in Hyden Monday at around 12:15 a.m., just minutes into his 18th birthday, and told staff there that he was ready to return home, according to Leslie County Deputy Sam Mullins.
Deaton had been visiting family in Hazard on Nov. 11 when he went missing. Family and friends said they had not heard from him, and it was unexpected and unlike him to run away. The case was treated as a missing person’s case since he had not indicated to anyone he was leaving.
Deaton had told his brother he was | going to walk from his mother’s house near Memorial Gym to his father’s house in Walkertown. When he was not found at either place, his family contacted the Hazard Police Department and reported him missing.

A DECADE ago, The Datsuns’ explosive brand of rock’n’roll led British music press to declare the band as ‘‘the future of rock’’ – a pretty big statement for four high school friends who formed in the small New Zealand town of Cambridge.
British music magazine NME contributed to the buzz after they named them best live band, placing The Datsuns alongside other much-hyped garage rock acts of the time such as The Vines and The Strokes.
Looking back 10 years later, the band’s laidback frontman, Dolf de Borst, is glad they didn’t get too caught up in the hype.
‘‘We had been playing together for a long time but we were still really | young – I think I was 21 or 22 when our first record came out,’’ de Borst recalls.
‘‘I think we had a pretty classic experience with the way the media works over there and the way people jump wholeheartedly into something and make all sorts of bizarre statements about you.
‘‘We were pretty naive about a lot of it and I think some of that probably insulated us from a lot of the bullshit that was going on because we just didn’t really buy much of it.
‘‘We just wanted to make music and keep ourselves separate from a lot of the shit. that goes along with it.’’

Questions Relating To The Future Of Humankind

1. After many years of thinking and research I could come up only with three ways by which the growth of the human population can be reduced to zero or made negative, if that were necessary for the survival of our species.
a) By war, with or without weapons of mass destruction, starvation, disease, ethnic cleansing, rape, mutilation, and other horrors. This most likely would occur as humanity got close to the carrying capacity of the earth and almost certainly would occur after humankind reached or exceeded the earth's carrying capacity.
b) By the voluntary action of all of humanity | . This most likely would occur prior to reaching the carrying capacity of the Earth. Of course, this also could happen after humanity reached or exceeded the carrying capacity of the Earth and be used to reduce the human population to the carrying capacity of the Earth without violence---provided the horrors in (a) above have not commenced.

The law, as we know, is an ass — but does it love an ass, or those sexual adventurers who love asses? From the vanguard of the fight for sexual liberation and autonomy comes Doodle’s beau:
Lawyers representing a Marion County man accused of sexual activity with a miniature donkey have filed a motion asking a judge to declare the Florida statute banning sexual activities with animals unconstitutional.
Carlos R. Romero, 32, declared last week that he wanted
to take his case to trial. He is accused of sexual activities involving animals, a first-degree misdemeanor, after he allegedly was found in a compromising position in August with a female miniature donkey named Doodle.
In the motion filed in Marion County court on Dec. 6, the assistant public defenders handling Romero’s case — Joshua Wyatt, Scott Schmidt and Joshua Lukman — wrote that the statute infringes upon Romero’s due process rights and violates the equal protection | clause of the Fourteenth Amendment in the U.S. Constitution.

I’ve had a frustrating week. I’m on a mission to find out why a piece of code I wrote had a “blowout” in execution time (“blowout” here means 60 microseconds instead of 15 in sustained usage just to keep things in perspective). I suspect it’s to do with temporary objects either auto-boxing/unboxing and/or temporary arrays.
Java, in my opinion, has the best IDEs of any language or platform bar none. Say what you want about the language but the IDEs are, on the whole, first rate. That doesn’t mean there aren’t bumps along the road however.
For the purposes of this completely biased rant I shall liken them to dog breeds.
The Blue Heeler is one kind of Australian cattle dog. It’s used on sheep farms and cattle stations to round up livestock. It’s not the prettiest of breeds.
So you won’t see these as family pets or in trendy dog parks or in your neighbourhood. But they’re smart, obedient, protective and hard-working. If you’re herding cattle? You won’t | see much else. The Blue Heeler is a working dog and a victory for utilitarianism.

Review Summary: From love to exhausting - the story of this intangible thing between Affliction, Endocrine…Vertigo and myself.2 of 2 thought this review was well written
There are certain phases, stages, and events in a metal listener's journey that will manage to forever fixate themselves deep in his mind... that he will remember for the rest of his life. The first time he was introduced to metal. The first time he heard his favorite band. The first time he heard his favorite album. Certain songs. Times he heard certain songs with certain people and shared a special moment with them. Certain songs or albums or bands he looked to for guidance, inspiration, or motivation during times when he had nowhere else to look. Times he was introduced to a new genre that hadn't before manifested itself in his mind, because he was completely unaware it even existed.
For me, this is the album that altered the standards by which I evaluate metal. It's the metal album that makes all the others slightly worse.
Why is that? To be honest, it's hard to put into words. This album doesn't scream musicianship. There are no really impressive solos on it. The drumming isn't overly impressive (but | it is experimental). It's not technical. At first listen, in fact, thoughts are more along the lines of "what the hell am I listening to?," "this sounds like garbage," and "why would I listen to the rest of this album?" At least that's what I thought when I first listened to Obsolete. Granted, that was a few years ago, before I became really familiar with doom and sludge. But I still feel that to some extent. Every time I start the album a part of me wonders what it is about it that makes me want to continue listening to it. I also know | [

Many of these technologies can be great assets as the world continues to adjust to the ever-growing challenges of expanding populations, increasing demands for reliable sources of energy, dwindling agricultural lands, and escalating pressures on the limited biological resources that sustain life.

The Apocalypse, or Book of Revelation, is not only the last Book of the New Testament, but its most difficult, puzzling, and terrifying.

The 2006 Sydney International Wine Competition awarded Yalumba the Wine Society Perpetual Trophy for The Most Successful Winery.
The most successful winery is awarded to the winemaker who achieves the most award winners from the 2006 competition – spectacular considering more than 2,000 wines entered the 2006 competition, representing nearly 500 brands from all over the world.
On receiving the accolade, Yalumba’s Director of Winemaking Brian Walsh congratulated everyone at Yalumba who was involved in making these award winners. “There’s an incredible amount of hard work, dedication and passion which goes into every drop of these wines. I’d like to take this opportunity to thank everyone involved in producing them – you know who you are.”
Yalumba was founded in 1849 by Samuel Smith, British migrant and English brewer, who had brought his family to Angaston seeking a new life. After purchasing a 30-acre parcel of land just beyond the southern-eastern boundary of Angaston, Smith and his son began planting the first vines by moonlight. Samuel named his patch “Yalumba” – aboriginal for “all the land around”. Six generations and more than 150 years later Yalumba | , Australia’s oldest family owned winery, has grown in size and stature, embodying all that has made the Australian wine success story the envy of winemakers the world over.

A former top aide to Rod Blagojevich testified Monday that the former governor planned to hold up a $2 million grant to a school in U.S. Rep. Rahm Emanuel's district until the congressman's Hollywood-agent brother held a fundraiser.
Former Illinois Deputy Gov. Bradley Tusk said at Blagojevich's corruption trial that he ignored the governor's directive to deliver the message to Emanuel. Tusk says he thought the plan was "both illegal and unethical."
Tusk said he started hearing from Emanuel and his staff in 2006 about the need to quickly get the grant to build a sports field, and that he told them the governor's office would try to deal with it. Tusk said when he talked to Blagojevich about the grant, the governor said he wouldn't release the money until Emanuel's brother held the fundraiser.
"Bills started to pile up and we didn't have the money yet," Donald Feinstein, who helped oversee the school, testified earlier. "People wanted to get paid and we weren't able to pay them."
In cross-examining Tusk, Blagojevich's attorney appeared to suggest that whatever remarks | Blagojevich made to Tusk about threatening Emanuel were merely heat-of-the-moment comments — something Tusk agreed earlier the governor was prone to.
There was nothing in the indictment of Blagojevich to suggest that Emanuel — now President Barack Obama's chief of staff — was actually threatened.

The popular press has called the twentieth century “The Century of the Gene.” During this time, genetics came forward as a central discipline in biology, first with the rediscovery of the work of Gregor Mendel at the turn of the century, later with the elucidation of the structure of DNA by Jim Watson and Francis Crick, and more recently with the development of recombinant DNA technologies by Paul Berg and Herb Boyer. These scientific events revolutionized the way we thought about biological problems. Mendel’s contributions led scientists to probe the genetic basis of inheritance while Watson and Crick helped to define the molecular nature of this inheritance. Berg and Boyer developed the tools that allowed scientists to manipulate these molecules of inheritance to more deeply understand their functions. Each of these events has had | far-reaching consequences because of the explosion of scientific inquiry it both allowed and inspired.
Currently, scientists of the twenty-first century are poised at the brink of another genetic revolution, this time triggered by the genome projects of organisms from microbes to humans. With the availability of this data, it has become obvious that current computational tools alone are inadequate to fully mine this immense data set. Although the power of | [

If the NHL owners hoped to get the NHLPA to reconsider their most recent offer, they may have just — by blunder or intention — pushed the players further away.
Tuesday, on the eve of the NHL’s deadline to reach a deal to save a full 82-game season, the owners rejected an invitation from the players to resume negotiations. “That is unfortunate as it is hard to make progress without talking,” said NHLPA special counsel Steve Fehr.
And last week, without telling the NHLPA that it was doing so, the league permitted club executives to speak to players about their offer presented a week ago Tuesday.
A gag order against commenting publicly about the lockout and the CBA negotiations has been in place for all NHL personnel. Additionally, players and their teams are normally prohibited from having any contact during a lockout, which is why players cannot use their teams’ facilities and interact with coaches. It’s a precaution the league takes because certain discussions of the issues in the dispute can be illegal, so | it’s best to avoid contact completely.
But for a 48-hour period last week, the NHL allowed the clubs to communicate with the players, within certain guidelines that did not violate the law. (Yahoo! Sports obtained the league office’s memo to the teams and part of it has been published on the Puck Daddy blog.) The stated idea was to answer questions that the players might have about the offer and permit team execs to express their views and opinions of it.

Children’s Self-Control Is Associated with their Body Mass Index as Adults
13 August 2012
As adults, we know that self-control and delaying gratification are important for making healthful eating choices, portion control, and maintaining a healthy weight. However, exhibiting these skills at a young age actually may affect weight later in life. A new study scheduled for publication in The Journal of Pediatrics finds that delaying gratification longer at 4 years of age is associated with having a lower body mass index (BMI) 30 years later.
Between 1968 and 1974, 653 4-year-olds completed a delay of gratification test, in which the children were given one treat, such as a cookie or a marshmallow, and were told that they would be given a second treat if they could wait to eat the first treat for an unspecified length of time (it ended | up being 15 minutes).
