The two-week treatment increased collagen production in skin covering the hips, but no benefit was observed when the cream was applied to the face or forearm, Laure Rittié, Ph.D., of the University of Michigan Medical School in Ann Arbor, and colleagues reported in the September issue of Archives of Dermatology.
Action Points
- Explain to interested patients that the results of this study suggest that aged, sun-damaged skin may be beyond repair by estradiol creams.
- Note that the mechanism of age-related changes in the skin may differ based on gender.
And the effect of estradiol appeared to be gender-specific. For example, although men did have a benefit, it was less than the response observed in women.
Dr. Rittié said the absence of benefit on the face and forearms was surprising because estradiol treatment stimulated expression of estrogen receptors in sun-damaged skin.
Moreover, the hormone cream stimulated the estrogen-responsive gene GREB1 in all three anatomic sites, although, again the response was less robust in men.
The trial recruited 40 postmenopausal women -- 23 of whom had photodamaged skin -- and 30 men, 17 of whom had photodamaged skin. In both groups the mean age was 75.
The volunteers were treated with estradiol cream -- 0.1%, 1%, or 2.5% -- or vehicle three times every other day for two weeks on either the hip (sun-protected site) or the forearm.
Twenty-four hours after the final treatment, patients had 4 mm full-thickness punch biopsies taken at each site.
Treatment of the face consisted of estradiol dissolved in propylene glycol mixed into an over-the-counter moisturizing cream for a final concentration of 0.2% estradiol.
That mixture was applied to the entire face twice a day for 14 days. Biopsies were taken from the crow's foot area of the face before and 24 hours after the final treatment.
New collagen synthesis was measured by quantitative polymerase chain reaction, immunohistochemistry, and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay.
Dr. Rittié said it was possible that longer treatment might have demonstrated a benefit in photoaged skin, but she added the GREB1 levels "rose significantly and similarly in all treated sites in women, indicating that estradiol penetrated the skin and activated ERs similarly in sun-protected and sun-exposed skin."
The results, she wrote, "demonstrate that photoaging is not associated with a loss of estrogen genomic response, at least in postmenopausal women."
But, she said, "conversely, our results suggest that the effect of estradiol on procollagen is indirect, and that photoaged skin lacks an essential component to the estrogen-mediate collagen response."
Noting that more studies are needed to "precisely identify ER-expressing cells within the dermis and appendages, Dr. Rittié pointed out that the skin of the face and forearms has been exposed to a double-whammy -- photoaging superimposed on natural aging.
As a result, "the alterations induced by long-term sun exposure hinder the ability of topical estradiol to stimulate collagen production in aged human skin in vivo."
|The study was supported in part by a grant from Pfizer. Dr. Rittié reported no financial disclosures.

The Future Is Bright
I have decided to close my online boutique Magnolia Palm yesterday. It was not a tough decision as I have been thinking about it for a while. It's interesting because it had been a dream of mine since I was in high school. The difference is I wanted to open an actual retail space. When I first decided to take the plunge and open the store I thought online would be the way to go as the huge shift from brick and mortar to e commerce has been a trend in the past few years. I thought this would be easy with a toddler at home. I can work on it as much or as little as I could while being at home. Well, it was not like that at all. I would sit in front of the computer, plan and work and still not moving forward. When you have two months of less than $100 in sales, it's easy to be discouraged. You like to think that when you launch a business your friends would be the first to help and support you. I only sold items when I offered steep discounts. I have had friends stop speaking to me completely. It's a hard pill to swallow when you realize people you thought were your friends, really don't care. If someone acts like they don't care, believe them.
We make plans for our lives, and sometimes those plans don't turn out like we expected. God may have other plans that we aren't aware of. I took the leap of faith and opened a store truly believing I would have support of not only family but my friends. I decided to start blogging as I have thought about this opportunity for years. My plan was to build both together as they would perfectly fit hand in hand. I'd rather look back and say, "I tried and followed a dream" rather than saying "What if?" I have had good days and bad days. The bad days I cried, called my mom and told her I was giving up. She was the biggest cheerleader of all. She'd tell me what I needed to hear and would listen to anything I needed to say. If it wasn't for my mom I would not have made it this far. I'm so incredibly grateful for her love, support and wisdom. There is a lot of great opportunities in the works for my blogging career. I am very excited to see where this path may lead and what may come from this. I will continue to keep everyone posted and up to date on the latest.
My husband and I are wanting to grow our family. I'd prefer and absolutely love to stay home with our son Lincoln, welcome a new baby and enjoy this precious time in our lives. I am fortunate enough to have this opportunity and the time we share with our children as babies and toddlers is too precious. I hope to one day come back to the dream of opening a retail space after my children are in school. Let's see where I am in 5 years. This will be fun to re-visit this post 5 years from now to see what all has changed and transpired since now. I appreciate all the support and love I have received from my amazing followers and cheerleaders. As one door may be closing another is getting ready to open. Keep the Faith
Happy Tuesday Everyone!
With Kindness & Love, Kenzie

Life is getting in the way.
I'm feeling hard pressed to find balance between blog, book, work, home and fun so I'm afraid I've been neglecting my blog duties.
Although I want to get back to this, I find I'm stuck for content today.
Stuck like a full bladdered airline passenger sitting in the window seat with the aisles seat owner fast asleep with tray down beholding a full glass of complementary airline soda.
I think I've been travelling too much.
I need that aisles seat…on the plane and in life in general.
I'm going to give myself a blog content break today and give you a sneak peak of an excerpt from the baby food cook book I'm writing.
Let me know if you think I'm on the right track, wrong track or window seat.
Here goes…
Let's Eat!!
What's on the Menu Mama?
It's intimidating to bring a baby into the world, nurture and take care of them to make sure they don't break.
At first we have only one form of sustenance to consider, breast milk or baby formula.
Once you wrap your head around that and get into a feeding rhythm guided by your baby's non-verbal, yet fairly obvious pleas, you start to feel a bit more comfortable.
Then just as all the feeding stars align, it's time to introduce solid foods and you start to worry about how much is too much, how much of each type of food should be offered, and when will I have time to visit the spa?
Rest easy, because at introduction, solid foods simply serve as a teeny appetizer to baby's main meal of breast milk or formula.
Then they gradually get upgraded to side dish status, and finally the main event after baby turns around 12 months old.
So lucky for us there's time to hone in on our baby food making skills along this long and winding feeding road.
I used to arduously consult baby "daily recommended" food charts when I was first introducing solids to my baby if only to gain confidence that I could follow instructions…and feed baby the appropriate amount of food I suppose.
I trusted the authors actually had babies, but if they didn't, it would have been odd of them to recommend how much they should be eating.
If I was a baby and someone was recommending how much I should be eating, I would want to make sure they had someone just my size in their lives to use as a consultant.
Regardless, the charts would always act as a nice guide to keep my heart palpitations in check at the thought of giving baby too much food too fast.
I recall reading simple charts, and charts incorporating enough information to map out a plan to launch baby to the moon.
I found the basic charts served us best.
Besides, baby will give you cues if they've had too much to eat so if you trust in your baby and use the guide as a starting point for introductions and suggested quantities, you will be well on your way to having a happy and healthy baby.
So a simple guide is what you shall receive…at the end of this chapter.
Mama, I'm Full!
Baby's appetite is self-regulating.
If they seem to be eating a lot at one point in time, it's probably because they need it at that time.
Reversely, if they don't seem to be eating as much as you would like, don't fret because they probably just don't need it at that moment in time.
As long as you continue to offer your baby healthy, age appropriate foods, at regular intervals, you can use their cue of turning away as a hint that they are full and have had enough for that feeding session.
I know the "chart" we're consulting may say that Billy needs to eat 2 tbsps. of green beans right now, but honestly, the chart would only work the same for every baby if every baby were the same…tiny little robot babies, all with the same appetite.
It's not a great idea to force an uninterested baby to eat either.
If they turn away, essentially telling you they are full and done, respect their wishes.
If you continue to force them to eat that last bite in an effort to make sure they are getting enough, that could translate later in life to a tendency to always finish their plate no matter how much is on there or how full they are.
Maybe that's why I force those last few bites of lasagne down even when I feel stuffed like a turkey?
If baby repeatedly turns away from food and you are really concerned, keep a list of everything you are offering and how much they are taking in over a few days or weekly period and bring to your baby's doctor to discuss.
There will always be certain foods that your baby doesn't seem to like, but don't throw them into the stratosphere never to be offered again.
Instead put the culprit away for a while and then re-introduce it a few days later.
Babies are fickle…some days they're in love with a food and other days they seem to hate it.
Until baby is about 10 months old, they will probably be eating small portions throughout the day rather than living in a "3 meals a day" type scenario.
Once baby starts eating those larger 3 meals, try not to offer too many snacks or juice too close to meal time otherwise they may not feel hungry enough to eat their main meal which is the source of that proper nutrition you intended.
The Simple Baby Meal Plan Chart
So now that we're well versed in knowing when baby is hungry, full or fickle, here is The Simple Baby Meal Plan Chart ("simple" as in the meal plan, not the baby) as promised.
This information is a compilation of details learned from baby food nutrition books and guides I've studied, all of which are outlined in the references section of this book, and what I've learned by having a real live baby myself.
There you have it.
Sorry, you will have to buy the book when it comes out in the next decade or two to get the chart.

- A bar too wide to get out the basement door.
- A baby grand piano that has to be crane-lifted off the second-floor balcony.
We've seen all these situations and more, of things too big for where they need to go. But this story just might take the cake.
Johnathan Byrd says he started hearing chainsaws outside his Live Oak Street home around 2 a.m. on a Saturday, CBS News in Austin reports. When he went outside, he found movers trying to free a house from a tree in his yard.

MORGAN HOWELL : "Liza Jane" by Davie Jones
MORGAN HOWELL : "Liza Jane" by Davie Jones
Signed limited edition print of "Liza Jane" by The Davie Jones (David Bowie) from British artist Morgan Howell, taken from his original large format paintings, SuperSizeArt, featuring classic 7 inch singles.
Artist notes : ''Liza Jane' was the first recording to be released as a single by the 17 year old David Bowie, but under the name Davie Jones with the King Bees. Bowie came in touch with Leslie Conn, who became The King Bees' manager and promoter in 1964, and they recorded and released 'Liza Jane' as a single for the Decca Records label Vocalion Pop. Despite heavy promotion on Juke Box Jury, Ready Steady Go! and The Beat Room, the single sold poorly and the band were subsequently dropped from the label. Conn now in Majorca, was one day on the phone with his mother who wanted to get rid of a few hundred copies of 'Liza Jane' that were stored in her garage. They agreed to throw them away.

We Connect College Students to Scorching Restaurant Deals
We currently exist at three colleges — The University of Oregon, CSU-Chico and UC-Davis, with thousands of student users at each of these three Universities. These students use Oodles to get deals on food, drinks and entertainment, all of which are weighted to give a bigger discount to bigger groups. We have plans to grow to a total of 15 Universities in the next two years, funding permitting. Nationwide thereafter.
Because our student users benefit from the deals, so do our vendor partners. They get new customers into their stores, who are reminded of their deal on a continual basis. The value of our patented process is that every deal transaction generates customer revenue. On our end, we charge a monthly marketing services fee, as well as individual charges for deals shared and redeemed.
The More Students Do Together, The More They Save
At Oodles, we believe that that college is the best time in a person's life, and that experiencing the many social activities on or around campus together with your friends is what makes it truly memorable. Therefore, our Oodles deals incentivize sharing and togetherness by rewarding those students who either share deals with their friends or redeem their deals as a group.
Local Businesses Love Oodles
Track Town Pizza
"I decided to give Oodles a try as one of their first customers. Knowing their marketing approach was to continually make students aware of Track Town and the offer we had on the app, it would be a matter of time before students using the app came to our restaurant…I was impressed with the results. We now have many U of O students come to our restaurant due to Oodles. The Vendor Days are outstanding, many hundred students come and try our award-winning pizza during the course of each Vendor Day, and become long-term customers of Track Town Pizza."
-Tim Myers, General Manager
Celestino's Pizza
"We have a terrific location and have been around for decades. Our pizza is truly one-of-a-kind. If we continue making great pizza, they ultimately will come. I didn't think I needed the Oodles - Deals & Events app … I was impressed with the results. I saw many new faces during the course of the Vendor Day, new customers of Celestino's that I continue to see after the event … I have now signed on with Oodles. We are seeing daily usage of the app in our restaurant, and the number of students transacting via the app continues to grow every week."
-Enzo Perri, Owner

Let's Help Colleges Connect Together
Hello Wefunder Investors,
Six months have transpired since the initial Oodles Wefunder campaign successfully closed, and it's been a focused, deliberate, and milestones-attacking journey since August '17. See the key milestones timeline shown on this site for more specificity of what we mean!
We are gratified to let you know that the business continues to be on track to accomplish the key metrics we articulated in the original presentation deck — an updated version of this deck is embedded in this site, and includes a 'dashboard' page that gives a summary view of each of the metrics we're tracking, and the progress against each of these metrics.
In October '17, the USPTO published our patent application, exactly 18 months from the date of submission, which means the process is on schedule. There are implications to this publication, details which are provided in the patent page in the updated investment deck. Please make sure to read this.
Metrics are great, but what is much more satisfying is the feedback we've received from the students & vendors at each of the schools we've launched at. If you have the time, please go to the iOS or Android app stores and check the student reviews out, as there are many! We've provided examples of vendor feedback in the updated investment deck too for your perusal.
OodlesDeals is now in three schools — The University of Oregon-Eugene, California State University-Chico, and the University of California-Davis. There has been so much learning from each of these schools, students, and awesome vendor-partners we've signed on at each of these Universities. A lot of these learnings, we've tried to incorporate into the updated investment deck. Please make sure to read them and ask us any questions you come up with — as throughout our relationship with Wefunder, we'll try to answer the relevant ones as best possible for everyone on Wefunder to see.
What's next you ask? Why the new round of funding? Well, there are ~ 4,400 Universities in the US, so we haven't even touched the tip of the iceberg. Our immediate goal is to grow from three Universities to up to fifteen in this next growth phase of the company. Recruiting vendors & students, enhancing the product to be more and more consumer-focused, all takes time, people, and investment. We will continue to be parsimonious with any spend we execute, as seeing the growth of OodlesDeals and the number of students who express delight with the great deals & events the app provides them is the best reward for this effort.
Spurred on by the memories of our grandfather, who graduated from the University of Oregon-Eugene almost 100 years ago, our pathway started with a vision to enable students to enhance their social lives with their friends, as these are memories and friendships that last throughout a person's lifetime. This same mission and zeal continue to drive the entire OodlesDeals team, and we're looking forward to having you join us in this next phase of the journey.
With Oodles & Oodles of respect to you,
Asheesh & Sajal

Horoscopes for Leo Season
Welcome to Leo Season which brings with it two very powerful eclipses.
Themes for this season are:
Creativity, Play, Romance, Inner Musing, Issues of the Heart, Courage, Self-Development
Leo is ruled by the Sun, it affects our identity and how we choose to shine our light in the world.
We all have this fierce lion/ess in our chart.
Being a fixed sign gives us all the opportunity to really stick to our guns on issues that matter most to us.
However we also need to recognize that being flexible within that persistence is necessary.
We can't be so sure that we know exactly what we need or even more importantly what others need but we can be in alignment with our own free will.
With five planets including Mercury in Leo retrograde during much of this Leo time we are being asked to re-analyze how we can best be used to shine a bright light onto this existence.
We are being asked to keep seeking towards a heart of gold.
We are being asked to make choices that feed our own destiny for the benefit of others.
Read your sun moon and rising for the full experience for how Leo season may affect your sign and remember these are just for fun, to get a real look at how you may be affected schedule a full chart reading
This is a time to look at the balance of your emotions and learning to not react from your emotions. The transformations this month come from being a bit more pragmatic with your responses and actions.

This is a time period of ideas and imagination, it can very useful for planning so utilize your goal setting and planning. And yet confusing enough it is not the time period with five planets retrograde for you to start something new. This is the time to stick with the plan even if the end result will be different than where you thought it was going. this must be balanced with play and laughter. The inspirations in our lives come from playing. Changes to how you interact and play in relationships are coming up in a major way so it's wise to tune in and get the information necessary for your transformations. Planning at this time will help you to feel more useful and in control. Get your personalized a eclipse reading
What a big month this is for you dear Taurus. When you can learn to quiet the overactive mind and release fears of insecurity that's when the magic happens for you. And there is so much magic available to you right now if you can tune into the creation energy flowing through your fingertips. These powerful eclipses this month are both in fixed signs and squaring your sign. This is a time to let the old break apart without letting fear take over, your animal is the bull. The bull can be effective and brave but it can also wreck havoc on a china shop....so maybe just be aware of what your metaphysical china shop is right now. This is the time to acknowledge that which is no longer working in your mindset and finally flush it out once and for all. With all this stubborn energy surging you may just explode if you aren't careful so allow for lots of quiet, contemplative time. And please please please use this creative energy wisely, use your hands. Your inner child is desperate for expression and change. Get your personalized a eclipse reading
This is the time you have been waiting for Gemini. To finally puts the wheels in motion to act. With this air sign eclipse at the beginning of Leo season you are given the opportunity to release outdated ideas about what you are up against, maybe it was all an illusive inner dragon that whole time? You have much to gain in your vitality through this season if you can let go of old power dynamics that aren't maybe even really there. This is the time to align yourself with others that inspire and support your vision. A friend, mentor, or loved one may show up to aid in your transformation, remember though that this transformation is about You in your life story. Keep yourself set as the main character, the rest of the characters have supporting roles in this story, so set it up that way, always. Practical steps and self-care for forward movement is a great focus this season. Get your personalized eclipse reading
Happiness comes through courage and trust as you wander through this unknown territory. This season the transformation comes through valuing yourself and your vision. This season is ripe for you to explore your own goals and to see if the people closest to you feed these goals. It is very common for Cancerians to get into self-protection mode, but Leo season helps you to open up and play. It is very important for you to nurture yourself at this time and have the courage necessary to give your boundaries a reboot. You don't need to be wanted all that is required for your fulfillment and happiness is to want yourself. Release fully anyone that makes you feel like you aren't welcome. This is the time to purge community that feeds off your crab legs while telling you how fishy they taste. Let them find their own food and get yourself out of the crab pot once and for all, you've got a world to explore so let go of the need to feed and get on out there. You are worthy. Get your personalized a eclipse reading
Well, well, well Leo it's your season and an intense one at that. Powerful waves of change are flowing through the cosmos and it offers you the opportunity to go deep within and focus on yourself. Find the inner contentment within that no other human can fuck with. Be patient with the bigger outer transformations and stay within. Alone time offers you the space and time to let success find its way to you. It truly is as simple as connecting to your divine inner lion/ness. The full moon eclipse at the beginning of your season in your polar opposite brings up relationship issues of all kinds and how community can either accelerate your growth or slow you down if you let them. Being the leader of the jungle is hard fucking work, your pride isn't always behind you. And yet you still must act as if it is. This is the time for inspired action. You may want to spend this season in your element with the sun and prey and enjoy all things summertime but this is actually an opportunity to bring that sunshine into your work and manifestation power. Align with that divine lion energy. Check in with your emotions to make sure that you are in alignment with your actions and make adjustments as necessary. Get your personalized a eclipse reading
Virgo this is the test, this is the monumental moment where the universe beckons you to let go and trust. Do you understand the value of your place in this world? Are you ready to ask for more, to visualize, dream and plan for more? This transformation relates to your ability to tap into a source of abundance that you never have allowed yourself to in the past. This transformation requires you to tap into the collective consciousness and understand that you have much to offer to so many. The care to the details can only take you so far, right now you are being asked to get spiritual, dream bigger and hold space in your heart for the magic. Neptune opposing your sign means that instead of anxiety, you could tap into some serious imagination and visualizing your goals being fulfilled. You may need some sleepy time tea but rest assured knowing that the dreams are more important than the details right now. Get your personalized a eclipse reading
This season is certainly a time to not let yourself get caught up in the struggle. We can't escape big emotions and we can't just choose to see the positive in our lives because that leaves us unbalanced and we know how important balance is to you dear Libras. At times we just have to allow ourselves to "go there" however when we do this it's helpful to look to the source of the emotion, does it remind you of other times in your life? Does it bring up any other memories? What story does it trigger for you? There is a beautiful innocence about your commitment to beauty in all forms, however mourning and pain bring us strength. Allowing yourself to feel the bigger uglier emotions cleanses the psyche and that is exactly where you are meant to be during this intense transformation, stay with the personal process. No one can bring you anything that you don't already have access to without them. Get your personalized a eclipse reading
Sometimes in life we are challenged to take risks that we don't necessarily like taking. Sometimes we wish things could just be all comfortable, sexy and easy. However we are all in deep transformation which is something that Scorpio's can appreciate. When we can relax into this transformation and align with our goals we can get more out of this time than other archetypes that freeze up or hid away. If you can honor the breakdown you can be part of the rebuilding crew and this is where you really thrive. Your ability to bring healing and generosity to most situations is required at this time. This is your time to truly shine and push ahead. As you align your inner healing to the healing required for the collective you establish yourself as a trusted leader in your community. Integrity should be your only focus and the rest will all come naturally when you offer your services to the world. Get your personalized a eclipse reading
It's time to finally move out of scarcity mindset there dear archer, hasn't anyone told you that you have the power to set your sights on what you want? Adjust your bow, notch your arrows and set your sights on your vision as you learn to work your ways back from the bullseye to your iris it requires you to believe and face the inner challenges that have previously kept you from this goal. You do have confidence even if sometimes it seems as though it wavers. In your work and relationship life the real problem that you are faced with is your own conflicting interests. How can you hit the target if you don't even know where it is? It's as if you are being pulled into two completely different directions. But now is the time set your iris on the bullseye and flex. No more fear, no more questions just go. Prioritize time blocks for your focused goals and nothing will hold you back, nothing. Get your personalized a eclipse reading
So let's stop being so real, Capricorn. Your work ethic and dedication don't go unnoticed however this is a time to realize that there is more to success than this. Imagination may be a point of contention for you as of late dear workhorse. We know that real work is very important to you, but at times your nose is too close to the grindstone to actually see what could be different so that things move smoother. This season is about you getting some space and getting space from the things that are most stressful for you. Change requires your participation and it requires you to change something. Change something in the home, even if it is as simple as rearranging or cleaning out cupboards. You may want to go deeper however and get support from a guide or mentor to re-work your vision for yourself and your family/community. You have so many inner resources to draw upon for this season but they require space and imagination. Get your personalized a eclipse reading
There is a transformation happening for all of us during this season, but it is very clear that this transformation is most intense for you. It's clear that you are being forced to stop clinging onto a past that is no longer here. Afterall the only way to participate in the future is by being receptive to the present. You can't be receptive to the present if you are living in the past. The pain that you carry is worthy for you to explore but not drown in. You're not alone, so many people value you. Lean into your unique expression at this time, there is a part of you that may feel selfish in this but that is the illusion. The world needs your wisdom and inventiveness at this time so much that it is going to push you, it may feel like it's pushing you to a breaking point. In reality through the universe is just breaking you open to your path and your path is forward not back. Focus on what you know fortifies your mind, body and soul. Lean into relationships that hold space for your visions. We all need you at this time and moving into the future. Get your personalized a eclipse reading
A much needed break from all the depth is available to you at this time Pisces. A breath of fresh air. Your transformation comes from rejuvenation. It comes from cutting ties that connect to an anchor weight at the bottom of the dark dark ocean. When you learn to release these then and only then will you understand the karmic ties that have bound you to an existence that is in someway a form of mental slavery. Just because you feel big, does not entitle you spiritually to feel for others, so just stop it already. It isn't evolved to carry the weight of the world, it's just stupid. You've got work to do and Venus opposing your sign means that it's time for you to tune into real love. Experiencing yourself and your emotions(only yours) at this time strengthens your existence. The best way to get this is by having alone time and focus on the daily spiritual practices that feed you and inspire you to take better care of your own life. Because that's all you have right now is one life, live it. Get your personalized a eclipse reading

School, best friend say slain Laredo teen was kind-hearted, never had a problem with anyone
The teenager who was shot in the head Tuesday has died, according to Laredo police.
Jesus Alejandro Ramirez Jr., 16, was a student at Nixon High School.
No arrests have been made in connection with the case.
The incident unfolded at about 12:45 a.m. in the 700 block of East Lyon Street. A woman called police saying that her son, Ramirez, had been shot.
READ MORE: Authorities say 16-year-old who was shot in the head in central Laredo dies at San Antonio hospital
He had a gunshot wound to the top of the head, according to first responders. A preliminary police report states the shot came from outside the home and struck the boy, who was inside the house.
Paramedics took him to Laredo Medical Center.
Ramirez was later airlifted to a San Antonio hospital, where he eventually succumbed to his injuries.
The Laredo Police Department said Friday that the case not yet been ruled a homicide by the Webb County Medical Examiner's Office.
The investigation continues.
To provide information, call LPD at 795-2800 or Laredo Crime Stoppers at 727-TIPS (8477). Information provided through Crime Stoppers may be rewarded with up to $1,000.
Ferny Aguirre, 16, met Ramirez, whose friends knew him as Alex, when they were in the fifth or sixth grade and they have been best friends ever since. He remembers Alex as someone who always made people laugh and everyone loved him for it.
"He was always caring," Aguirre said. "He always put people in front of him. He never had problems with anyone."

Laredo Independent School District said in a statement to Laredo Morning Times that Nixon High is mourning Ramirez's loss.
"He was a sophomore and a big fan of the Nixon High School soccer program," LISD said. "He was well liked by his peers and is remembered for being kind-hearted and always having a positive outlook on life. We miss Jesus and his death leaves a void in our hearts.
"Our thoughts and prayers are with his Jesus' family and friends."

Study - Asymptomatic carotid stenosis patients show a symptom: Cognitive impairment
CHICAGO, Illinois, October, 2017 – Asymptomatic carotid stenosis may not be as silent as once thought.
A new prospective trial reported in the October Journal of Vascular Surgery found that around half of asymptomatic carotid stenosis patients had mild to moderate cognitive impairment.
The report clarifies the role of asymptomatic carotid stenosis independent of cerebral-vascular risk factors in the development of cognitive impairment and suggests hemodynamic impairment as a possible mechanism for this important finding.
It has been well established that carotid stenosis, particularly when high-grade, can result in stroke, transient ischemic attack, blindness and global symptoms. SVS practice guidelines recommend carotid endarterectomy (CEA) for most symptomatic patients with stenosis 50% to 99% and asymptomatic patients with at least a three- to five-year life expectancy and stenosis 60% to 99% (as long as perioperative stroke or death rates are less than or equal to 3%). Carotid artery stenting (CAS) is recommended for symptomatic patients with stenosis 50% to 99%, who are at high risk for CEA for anatomic or medical reasons.
More recent investigations have focused on cognitive impairment, particularly in the aging patient. Vascular risk factors for stroke and cognitive impairment include hypertension, diabetes mellitus, dyslipidemia, cardiovascular disease and tobacco abuse.
What is less well understood is the role of carotid stenosis in cognitive impairment, independent of the above medical risk factors. It has been hypothesized that carotid stenosis may lead to impairment via "silent" microembolic events and/or cerebral hypoperfusion in the absence of adequate collaterals.
Researchers from the University of Maryland and the Baltimore Veterans Affairs Medical Center led by vascular surgeon Dr. Brajesh Lal, performed a prospective, controlled trial to address the role of carotid stenosis in cognitive impairment and offer a potential mechanism for its effect.
They studied 82 patients without any history of cerebral or retinal ischemic symptoms but with >50% carotid stenosis by duplex imaging. The 62 control patients were also asymptomatic, without carotid stenosis, and subsequently matched for vascular co-morbidities.
After administering a battery of neurologic tests and a trans-cranial doppler examination (including 30 second breath hold to determine cerebral vasoreactivity), the researchers found:
• Patients with carotid stenosis had overall decreased cognitive scores including learning, motor, and executive functions compared to controls
• 49.9% of patients with stenosis were considered mild/moderately impaired compared to 22.6% control
• 50% of patients with stenosis had impaired cerebral-vascular hemodynamics, all of whom had cognitive impairment
• No significant differences in microembolic events between the two groups
• No correlation between cognition and plaque burden itself
"This study found evidence that cognitive impairment is an under-recognized morbidity in patients with otherwise 'asymptomatic' carotid stenosis," Dr. Lal said. "It is an important clinical outcome that must be included as a defined end point in future trials testing the efficacy of treatment strategies for carotid stenosis."
In discussing the finding that the mechanism is likely hemodynamic in origin, he added, "These findings prompt additional studies to evaluate if revascularization can reverse this impairment by improving cerebrovascular hemodynamics."
Neurological testing as well as hemodynamic evaluation of cerebral perfusion might provide clinicians with additional tools to refine treatment protocols currently based on symptoms and degree of stenosis alone.
This appears to be a big step towards personalized medicine in cerebral vascular disease.

Chelsea have opened talks with Nice over a deal for Jean Michael Seri, according to reports in France.
The 26-year-old has been linked with several of Europe's top clubs including Manchester United, Manchester City, Barcelona and Arsenal.
The Ivory Coast international is available due to a €40 million (£35m) release clause in his contract.
And according to L'Equipe, Chelsea have made the first move to sign the midfielder this summer.
The report claims that Chelsea have held initial talks with Nice about a deal for Seri, but the Premier League champions will face strong competition.
Last month, reports claimed that Seri is on Manchester United's shortlist as a potential signing to replace Michael Carrick, who retires at the end of the season.
Barcelona also tried to sign Seri last summer and could reignite their interest at the end of the season.

David kimpton- Linda's Printing Place
Brought in a vehicle to be cleaned and detailed and boy did they ever deliver. The vehicle looks as good as it did the day it came off the showroom floor if not better. Outstanding job.

Jack M.
This was my first time having a car of mine detailed and it was a great experience! The staff was extremely friendly (everyone from the shop to the shuttle driver)! I was so impressed with how my car came out, the interior and exterior were top notch! I am very impressed and will recommend this company when someone is looking to treat their vehicle. Bonus points for having a Camaro in the company logo! Haha
Veronica E.
First time having a vehicle detailed. Had been wanting to for a while and heard great things about A & C Detail. They did not disappoint. The truck looked great inside and out. Will definitely be back.
If you had a package that included detailing car-seats we would have upgraded for sure because we can never get those things clean.
Robert M.
My Mom's car needed some attention so I decided to bring it in to A & C Detail. I am very impressed with their attention to detail. Their professionalism and friendliness simply went above and beyond! When bringing your vehicle into A & C Detail, know that you will be leaving it in capable and trustworthy hands. I'll see you again soon A & C Detail!

Jess T.
I have hired Cindy & A&C to do my weekly home cleaning, as well as two of my businesses. They have become like part of my family because of the attention to detail and open communication. I have had so many projects that they have helped me tackle! From laundry & organization of closets to re-arranging my daughters room, sorting clothes sizes, storage problem solving & home management type ideas, they have been a life saver in my world. We are an extremely busy family of 5 and without their help I am certain I would not keep up! There hasn't been a problem or project she hasn't been quick to jump on board with.

26th April 2017, TishTash organized an event which included beauty ,health and wellness all together. It was a full day activity distributed in different time slots.
We had to book our desired slot and I booked the Beauty one ( for obvious reason). I wanted the health one too but I knew I couldn't do workout with all fit ladies there.(*sigh*)
The event was at Pure Sky Lounge Hilton Hotel at JBR.. now I don't know if I have ever said that but JBR is my most favorite place in DUBAI.. Yes, I always wanted to have an apartment there because of so many reasons. I can be there anytime and since I have always visited JBR at night it was a great experience to witness the view in daytime and yes it looked equally beautiful. I think I should plan a breakfast plan with my friends someday.
So, like always I took the cab and went straight to the venue. Firstly I went to the Hilton Hotel but then I found out that the venue location was at Hilton Hotel Apartments, which was right across the street.
As soon I entered, the place was full of colors , full of lovely people and the tishtash people were super professional I must say. I literally had to figure out from which side I should start because everything was on POINT. So I decided to go with the flow and visited all the stations one by one.
Ban.do is brand that makes funky clothes, accessories, stationary, gifts. Their station was the most colorful of all.
Nail Pavilion is a nail salon in JLT , they were giving free manicures and padicures too. I didn't got because of Namaz. But if I could I would love to get neon nails.
This was one of my favorite station because of the products they had. FHF is a pure organic and vegan brand which has huge range of skin care and body care. I also got full arms massage and trust me I felt like getting a whole body massage (*sigh*). She used oil + lotion together and my skin instantly got hydrated and plumped.
I always felt good when someone initiate with their own brand and this girl who is also a member of tishtash team came up with her own natural, vegan, handmade and ethical skin care and beauty brand. She also gave us her best seller sugar scrub for trial which I have started using and will definitely write a review on blog.
Honestly I am not into hair brands cox I never get any hair styling but it was interesting to know about hair care brands. This brand is famous for their protein treatment and styling products.
Brand is available at few hi-profile salons in Dubai.
We all know about fillers but this is something different. Its a Derma Cosmetic Fillers that can be used by anyone at home and without any pain. Basically it does not include injections but the tool does look like an injection though. I so want to try it.
And besides this they also have skin care products. The girl also suggested me 2 products considering my skin.
Brand is available at Super Care pharmacy!!
Another luxurious hair brand. This brand has the most sexiest packaging. Can you all believe how ignorant person I am when I was told about hair perfumes. Yes, I first time encountered that there are hair perfumes as well. And man I tried it on my hijab (obv cox my hair were not open) and I fell in love with the fragrance.
The Hair Perfume is in my wishlist now 😀
Brand is available at Bloomingdales Dubai.
A new brand for me but with very interesting background. Poppy who is the owner of the brand couldn't find her style of shades in lipsticks brands and then she decided to come up with her own range (that's fascinating na)
Brand is available in Bloomingdales Dubai
Who does not know Neutrogena, their station was promoting their new hydro boost range. We got the samples and I will for sure try them.
Another aesthatic medicine inspired skin care brand. They gave us the samples of almost every range they have. And I will start trying them very soon.
First can we just focus on the name of the brand, isn't it catchy? I always get attracted to unique names. Its a designer brand that have clothes, shoes and accessories.
I always wanted to get my skin test done and luckily I got the chance at their station. The moment she started the test I was praying to get not so bad results. Yes, I know my skin is pretty bad but I was hoping not to see worst results.
My result said that my skin is dry and inside the skin I have oil glands which means that my skin is basically dehydrated because of less water in take. She suggested me 2 products and lots of water. I will get the suggested products because the brand is affordable too. Phew the results were not bad, atleast I can make it better t with water intake.
Brand is available at Super Care and many other pharmacies in UAE.
That's it you guys, I summed up the whole event as precise as I could. I loved attending this event and would love to be a part of TishTash team officially.
Oh , how can I forget to share the snack corner. I didn't eat anything but the snack corner had lot of healthy and yummy options.
Besides all the samples given by brands we also got a huge goodie bag. Bag included some free stuff and some discount coupons <3
Thankyou Team TISHTASH

a conversation with Bolen on Jackson Leadership Foundation
- 771 reads
Although still in its infancy, the Jackson Leadership Foundation is already making a difference in the capital city. Samuel Bolen, the group's executive director, recently spoke to Sun Senior Staff Writer Anthony Warren about the foundation and its efforts to better equip people for the ministry in the inner-city. Bolen is a graduate of the University of Mississippi Sally McDonnell Barksdale Honors College and holds bachelor's degrees in psychology and religious studies. The Madison resident and his wife, Hallie, have two sons, with a third one on the way. The Jackson Leadership Foundation was founded in September 2018.
How are things going since the group was founded?
"They're going great. We are supporting three ministries in some of Jackson's under-resourced communities. Our purpose is to support those ministry leaders and help them grow as leaders and grow their ministries. We believe if our under-resourced communities are going to see spiritual and economic transformation, the individuals in those communities will lead the way. We want to give those leaders the support they need to thrive."
What types of ministries do you serve?
"We serve one ministry in South Jackson that works with children and adults who are homeless or at-risk of being homeless. Another one serves North and West Jackson and works with youth through the sport of baseball. The third ministry we serve works all over the city to train church leaders in low-income areas to better reach out to the community that's surrounding them."
I know Jackson Leadership Foundation is still a young group, but how do you gauge success?
"Our main goal is to help ministry leaders grow as leaders and grow their ministries. We track growth data, such as how many board members they have, how many board members they were able to add in the past year, how much their annual budget has grown, whether the amount of support they have has grown, and how much of an increase they see in volunteers."
What have been the results so far?
"One of our ministries, Bridging the Gap Outreaching Ministries, when we started partnering with them, it was literally an idea in the head of the founder. The founder came to us and said, 'I have an idea for a ministry that could affect all of Jackson. I don't know how to pull it off.' We helped the founder add board members, raise support, develop a strategic plan, develop programs and program curriculum. We've seen an organization go from an idea in a head to a thriving organization.
"With another ministry, God's Haven, which serves the homeless and at-risk for being homeless, she needed help growing the organization to the scale of her vision. We helped her put together a 10-member board, helped her organize the program so she could more effectively minister and helped her think through a fundraising strategy. We helped her put together a budget. Now she has a budget and a treasurer who assists her … She's getting ready to start a summer camp, which will serve over 100 girls in South Jackson. She's done (the camp) for seven years and it's never been fully funded. Now, it's fully funded for the first time ever.
"With our third ministry, Full Count Baseball Ministries, we've helped it add board members, add volunteers and add donors, and that ministry has been able to add a second baseball team."
So, Jackson Leadership Foundation is a ministry incubator?
"That's one thing we do, yes. If someone in the city says, 'hey, I've got an idea for a ministry. I feel led to do this,' and it's a realistic vision that has potential, we are a place where they can come and say, 'This is a dream of mine. Will you consider taking me on as a partner to make my vision a reality?' "
Eventually the goal is for these ministries to operate on their own.
"Absolutely. There may never be a day where we stop partnering with a ministry, but to set growth measures where a ministry leader is doing so well that they don't need us anymore."
Who's idea was it to start the foundation?
"The idea for the Jackson Leadership Foundation came from Dr. John Perkins. Dr. Perkins lives in West Jackson and is known nationally for his work in the areas of Christian community development and civil rights. He introduced the concept of the Jackson Leadership Foundation to a group of pastors and business leaders in Jackson."
What is your annual budget?
"For 2020, we're trying to raise $150,000. For 2019, it was $115,000. Our fiscal year is the calendar year."
So, what's on tap for the rest of this year? And, what are your plans for the upcoming year?
"When we started in late September 2018, we wanted to start intentionally slow. We started with three partners – three ministries in town. We said, 'Let's serve these ministries really well. Then, we'll add a ministry at a time, slowly, so we can continue to provide quality services to the ministries we're already serving.' For 2019, we'll take it from three to five. We're currently interviewing two ministries in West Jackson who want to partner with us … By the end of 2020, we want to be able to serve 10 ministries."
What are some of the biggest challenges for leaders in these under-resourced communities?
"This is the heart of the matter – my whole reason for doing what I do and why Jackson Leadership Foundation exists. We have great leaders in under-resourced areas. Many of our leaders are overwhelmed, under-networked, under-resourced and in need of leadership assistance. We exist to come alongside these leaders, to provide assistance … We had one (leader) come to us recently and said, 'I feel like I'm in a band and playing every instrument.' We want to free the leaders up to spend more time doing the ministry and meeting the needs they're called to meet. The way we want to do that is by providing the services we provide – leadership, organizational and networking support."
Let's go into detail about the support you provide. Can you share that with me?
"Some of the services we offer are one-on-one ministry coaching (Every partner of ours gets an assigned 'ministry champion' to help that partner stay on track and accomplish their goals.) We offer networking support. If one of our champions says a partner needs $2,000 to fund a summer camp, we want to help that partner network with donors interested in providing that $2,000. We do monthly meetings where we get together and pray together, do teaching on topics related to non-profit leadership, offer accounting support. Right now, we have volunteer bookkeepers who are helping keep books for some of our partners. We offer communications support, grant-writing support, ministry startup support."
We've talked a good bit about the needs of inner-city leaders. What are some of the foundation's needs?
"We are still a startup organization. We want to network with people who are interested in doing what we're doing. We want to share our story and grow our team of people who believe in this mission and want to see this happen."

I need a new large foil kite for the south florida shit winds. I'm considering a 16m Helium. I have 2 Cabrinha kites now that steer hard in one direction, I'm done with Cabrinha. My 17m Contra is steering so hard to the right I have to put both hands on the left side of the bar when I am right foot forward. When I tack left foot forward it's like a 4 step bar pressure movement to not get yarded into an unintended kiteloop. So frustrating b/c I did like that Contra....
Here's my warranty question for switch. If in 2 years this kite is pulling/steering hard in one direction from a deformed leading edge or fabric stretch or whatever causes this...is switch going to replace the kite assuming it has no repairs? Will they replace it if there is a small 10cm patch or does this end the warranty? Thanks.

by Brian Manley
I was wrestling with a kitchen at 2 AM, moving plastic mashers and wooden spoons from one drawer to another, hankering on to myself about being overwhelmed and some other thing; dribbling beer onto a black t-shirt already sputtered and stained from the second time I tried kratom and second time I coughed it up in dirt wads onto my chest, yelling yuck about it all. And I remembered Sophomore Lounge asked me to check out the new album White Horses from Thee Open Sex. I shoved up the volume (or pushed little phone buttons) and started rolling around in contact paper with headphones and an exacto knife.
Am I right that this is a follow-up to Splits in 2015? Has it been that long? Bloomington, Indiana's Thee Open Sex: Where the shadows are stretched into clouded psych, canvased sheets of whispered muse stretched thin but strong with creeping sounds and tribal beats. Thee Open Sex have been experimenting with form and sound for a decade in their Northern lab, and their forays can be lo-fi jaunts into the dark and unpredictable, only to have a slice of light and aggression come like the jeer of a possum's teeth on the back deck at midnight. The music is mischievous, surprising, and unafraid of exploration.
I feel like White Horses might be the possum this band has been searching to ride for ten years; or maybe the possum we were meant to ride with them (enough with the possum). The group has delivered a larger piece, a composition, each side connected and able to circle into the other. Side one hoists you up, shoe in cupped palms, onto the beginning slope of a journey that climbs and climbs, almost ethereal and calming, the instrumentation swirling and comforting. The theme is brandished and shifted, but remains constant, and builds into beautiful hypnotic strides. By the end of the first side, you've reached the top of the hill and are proud.
On Side Two, the peak is steeper.
Again the steady climb and the encouragingly calm march, although the tension is a little higher. I thought I could hear that distorted guitar looming slightly out of range, but by seven and half minutes in it snakes through and makes itself known. And that bass line! And those drums! Unfaltering and tireless as anchors throughout this hike. The side builds from there into a louder and more animated power as the climb only becomes more intense, and then it lets you breathe, sink, and float cool, all weight against a steady brace with a breeze.
White Horses is quite an achievement. Thee Open Sex managed to create a perfectly controlled caravan that is framed in a repetitive rhythm section that gets chased by a This Heat-ish skeleton. The album is hard to put away once it's started.
Sophomore Lounge has been laying low for a bit this year it seems. I don't blame them; it's been nothing but brackish humidity and American dictators this summer. But White Horses seems to mark the first of what seems at least a trio of excellent releases in line for the Louisville label that frame the opening of a Fall that might feel like a real interesting, weird, beautiful, colorful and mesmerizing photograph.

Polish trance dynamo Adam Sobiech continues a stream of great releases with his brand new track "Let Go" which touches down through Intonenation Records.
"Let Go" opens with a haunting voice and a stomping beat, this retro-future classic has as much intensity and as it has playfulness as the builds keep coming. A deep percussive plateau is forged around distinctive synth hooks and chiming rides before the solace of the breakdown hits. Layering whimsical vocal textures on deep '80s themed synths Sobiech loops and develops them into a huge build that could only give way to a drop of greater proportions. Constantly one-upping himself with more and more layers of inspired synths the drop builds into an electro utopia before returning to the eerie vocal textures that started the whole journey.
"Let Go" is laden with all the hallmarks that make Adam Sobiech's productions so individual. The pounding beat and bass, the signature melody and lead lines, and the tight arrangement that leaves nothing to chance. One thing is for sure when this drops the only thing you need to do is hit the dance floor and "Let Go".

February 22, 2013, Victoria, BC (ISN) – The University of Victoria Vikes men's and women's track teams look to be in good shape heading into this year's Canada West championship hosted by the University of Regina, Feb. 22-23.
Led by 2012 CIS All-Canadian and 2012 600-m silver medalist Adam Gaudes (Winnipeg, Man.) and 2012 CIS Rookie of the Year and 2012 600-m gold medalist Rachel Francois (St. Albert, AB), the University of Victoria Vikes men's and women's track teams look to be in good shape.

Both Gaudes and Francois will be looking to make a play for the men's and women's 600-m titles and undoubtedly will give both 4×800-m relay teams a boost with the men's side ranked No. 1 in Canada West and the women's at No. 2. The Vikes women are currently the defending champions of the 4×800-m title and they will certainly be gunning for another first place finish.
Also ranked No. 1 in Canada West, in the men's 1000-m, third-year Thomas Riva (Qualicum, BC) has his sights set on gold in this year's championship. Riva is heading into the meet after a stellar weekend at the University of Washington Husky Classic. On Feb. 9 Riva beat a 24-year-old UVic record in the 800-m with his time of 1:50.38.

In the 1500-m race the top three spots belong to the Vikes as Riva, fourth-year Karl Robertson (Leduc, AB) and sophomore Cody Therrien (Victoria, B.C.) are ranked one, two and three, respectively.
Making his first appearance at the Canada West championships is Vikes rookie Brendon Restall. The Victoria native is hoping to make an impact racing alongside Gaudes in the 600-m and is the lone Vikes representative in the men's 300-m.

On the women's side, Francois is doubling up to race the 300-m event as well as her signature 600-m. Fourth-year runners Kendra Pomfret (Roberts Creek, BC) and Jenica Moore (Victoria, BC), alongside sophomores Grace Annear (Hampton, NB) and Halley Cote (Victoria, BC), are also competing in the women's 600-m. Pomfret took top honours in the 1-km in this year's Bison Classic, Feb. 1-2, and is the Canada West defending champion, taking home the gold in last year's race. Competing alongside teammates Maureen McCulligh (Campbell River, BC), Stephanie Trenholm (Campbell River, BC) and rookie Emma Bibault (High River, AB), Pomfret will certainly be looking for a repeat performance this weekend.
The UVic Vikes will begin competition at the 2013 Canada West Track and Field Championships on Friday, Feb. 22 at the Regina Fieldhouse, when the men and women race in the 1000-m event.

In Despicable Me, what language(s) do the minions speak? There is a bit of English, but it seems like a combination of French with English?
They also say some words in spanish, like: "Es para tu" (even though it should be "es para ti") – user4156 Feb 18 '13 at 1:26
From Despicable Me - Creating The Minions:
The [directors] subsequently designed a language for Gru's army that is intended to be an indescribable vocal expression
"The language is much more about sound than it is about any kind of meaning," says [producer] Christopher Meledandri.
Here you can watch a short featurette where producer John Cohen explains:
The voices of the minions are actually done by Pierre Coffin and Chris Renaud, the directors of the movie.
And what they have done is ... created this incredibly unique language. A lot of times it sounds like it's gibberish, a lot of times you hear a little bit of french. You hear all kinds of languages being incorporated into the way they speak.
And then occasionally, you hear a word or two of English, or that sounds like English, that gives you a sense of what the minions are actually saying.
I am wondering if the dialogs are somehow "translated" in versions of the movies localized for other language audiences. I happened to watch the movies in Japanese, and could catch some English/French/Spanish/Italian... sounding bits. – wip Sep 10 '17 at 1:02
