Carrot salads are a relatively new dish, especially raw ones. Until well into the twentieth century, most Europeans ate only cooked carrots, primarily in stews and soups. In the Middle East, people also used them as a component of cooked dishes, but sometimes added grated or minced raw carrots as a minor ingredient to various salads. It was in northwestern Africa that carrots, both cooked and raw, became the featured component of salads typically an accompaniment to couscous or part of an assortment of salads.
Moroccans brought carrot salads to Israel in the 1940s, and they quickly became ubiquitous. These salads are a traditional Rosh Hashanah dish in Israel, a symbol of a sweet and fruitful year to come. At many Israeli restaurants, cooked carrot salad automatically appears on the table with the bread, pickles, and hummus. The carrots are usually flavored with charmoula, a characteristic Moroccan marinade of oil, lemon juice, garlic, cumin, and salt. Most cooks add heat with chilies, sometimes in dangerous proportions. I have tasted some that left me gasping and other that proved a lively appetizer, so adjust the amount of chilies to your own preference and that of your guests. For fancy presentation, Israelis serve raw carrot salad, commonly called gezer chai ("live carrots"), in quartered avocados or on a bed of lettuce leaves, garnished with a sprig of mint.
Leave a Review
I really liked this recipe and my friends did also. It was really easy to make and so tasty! I took another reviewers advice and used Trader Joe's carrots, which I would highly recommend doing. They stayed crunchy, even the leftovers! I would also recommend using only 3 T of lemon juice, as I thought 4 was a bit too acidic for my tastes, but I'm sure many people would still enjoy it that way. I also had to use dried parsley (adjusting the amt used), being a college kid on a budget, but it was still delicious. I would have preferred to use the fresh stuff, though! I'm excited to try some of the variations now.flag if inappropriate
Super easy to make, excellent picnic salad. I strongly recommend making it at least a day before you want to use it.flag if inappropriate
I liked this a lot. I also made the Turkish version with yogurt, very fresh and delicious. The next time I will add some orange segments.flag if inappropriate
Seasonings needed a little adjusting, but had very good flavor. In order to make this dish more substantial I mixed it with some couscous and olives - I highly recommend it!flag if inappropriate
Made the Moroccan version - nice. Crisp, clean easy. Would make again. Made the Turkish version - the yogurt and olive oil made slimy texture. Might try it again without the olive oil. Otherwise, I would not eat it as is.flag if inappropriate
I enjoyed this, but didn't think it was as special as the other reviews suggested. I might make it again. I used the cinnamon/cumin mix; the cinnamon and garlic ended up being dominant flavors. Next time I would probably increase the parsley and harissa a little bit.flag if inappropriate
Delicous and very easy, even if you take the extra 15 minutes to cook and strain the carrots.flag if inappropriate
A delicious twist to the classic carrot salad and still healthy. I made it two times and everybody loved it. The only comment would be to start with two cloves of garlic. Then taste it and if you think it needs more, you can always add some.flag if inappropriate
I made this for a family dinner a couple weeks ago. A couple minor changes though for me: I cut the carrots into thin coins, and did not add harissa. I let it marinate overnight in the regrigerator, then took it out an hour before serving. It was a hit beyond my imagination. I am making this salad again tonight to serve tomorrow.flag if inappropriate
We made this for a dinner with friends who were staying with us. My friend, who is a great cook, and I adjusted the recipe slightly for our particular tastes -- we like spice and strong flavors -- by adding some additional cumin, cinnamon, salt and throwing in some preserved lemon. We also added a little honey as the carrots weren't the sweetest. Because we had lots of carrots we made a double batch. It was such a hit -- and these are serious foodies -- that there was very little left and what was went into braised lentils to add flavor and interest. Shred the carrots in a food processor and this is quick and easy to make. It will be a staple in our refrigerator in summer.flag if inappropriate

Even in his prime, Aldo Leopold suffered defeat at the hands of Wisconsin politicians in conservation battles.
The best science is often not enough to trump political agendas.
That's one of the realities of our democratic system.
At no time in the state's history has one political party been more in control of the direction of conservation policy.
Republicans occupy the governor's mansion, hold majorities in the Assembly and Senate and run the Department of Natural Resources.
Based on most polls, that pleases and displeases about an equal number of state residents.
But there is no such ambiguity about the state's political power - it's clearly colored red at the moment.
Lured by the prospect of future jobs, Gov. Scott Walker set a goal of rewriting the state's iron mining laws. It took two legislative sessions, but last week Walker signed a bill that paves the way for a project in the Penokee Hills of northern Wisconsin.
The hope for better economic times - no matter how tenuous - can carry the political day in 2013, even if it carries the risk of cultural and environmental harm.
The iron mining bill was the major order of business for Republican leaders in the 2013-'14 legislative session.
But there are dozens of other items - initiated by representatives of all stripes - that will be considered and voted on in coming months.
Through Wednesday, Wisconsin lawmakers had introduced 63 bills in the Assembly and 71 in the Senate.
The Legislature went on break last week; its next floor period is scheduled for April 9 to 18.
Here's a preview of some conservation-related bills.
Senate Bill 17: When the legislature passed Act 168 in 2012, it opened state parks to hunting and trapping. The law allowed certain areas or properties to be closed by the Natural Resources Board to protect public safety or unique plants and animals.
After an outpouring of public opposition to a DNR plan that would have opened more than half of the acreage in the state park system to hunting and trapping from October to May, the NRB voted to allow the additional opportunities for roughly one month in late fall and one month in April for spring turkey hunting.
SB 17 would set state park hunting and trapping conditions to pre-Act 168. According to its text, the bill would "generally eliminate the requirement that state parks be open to hunting, fishing and trapping."
It prohibits a person from hunting in a state park unless the person is hunting deer, elk, turkeys or small game and the DNR has promulgated a rule that authorizes the hunting of that type of game in the park. The bill also prohibits a person from trapping in state parks.
The bill was read for the first time Feb. 12 and referred to Natural Resources committee. It was introduced by Senators Jon Erpenbach (D-Middleton), Mark Miller (D-Monona), Fred Risser (D-Madison) and Tim Cullen (D-Janesville).
Assembly Bill 6: The game fish season on most Wisconsin waters has traditionally closed from early March to early May to protect fish from harvest around spawning time.
During the closed period, anglers may not attempt to catch bass, walleye, northern pike and musky, for example.
AB 6 would create a catch-and-release season for bass in "areas of the state where there is not a continuous open season for bass fishing." The bill requires the catch-and-release only bass season to begin on the first Saturday in March and to end on the Sunday preceding the first Saturday in May.
The bill was introduced by Representatives Joel Kleefisch (R-Oconomowoc), Garey Bies (R-Sister Bay) and Alvin Ott (R-Forest Junction). It was read Feb. 1 and referred to Natural Resources and Sporting Heritage committee.
Assembly Bill 8: Current law generally prohibits a local governmental unit from adopting any ordinance or restriction on hunting, fishing, trapping or management of wild animals except on land the local governmental unit owns or leases. Additionally, a local government may adopt a restriction in the interest of public safety.
AB 8 provides, with an exception, that a local governmental unit may not enact or adopt a restriction that prohibits hunting with a bow and arrow or crossbow within the jurisdiction of that governmental unit.
Under current law, no person may hunt within 1,700 feet of a sanatorium or the grounds of a school. This bill specifies that applies only to a person who is hunting with a firearm.
The bill was introduced by Representatives Kleefisch and Tom Larson (R-Colfax) and cosponsored by Senators Neal Kedzie (R-Elkhorn) and Scott Fitzgerald (R-Juneau). It was read for the first time Feb. 1 and referred to Natural Resources and Sporting Heritage committee.
Legislative Reference Bureau No. 1584: In a measure that will draw significant public interest but might not make it out of committee, Risser has written a proposal to prohibit the use of dogs to hunt wolves.
Wisconsin is the only state to authorize the use of dogs during wolf hunting. The practice was blocked last year by a lawsuit, but would be legal during the 2013-'14 wolf hunting and trapping season.
The measure had 17 co-sponsors on Wednesday, according to Risser. A companion bill is expected to be offered in the Assembly.
It's less certain whether the GOP-controlled committees will allow the bills to go to the floor for votes.
Additional bills related to conservation and outdoor recreation, including the expanded use of crossbows to hunt deer and a sandhill crane hunting season, have been rumored but yet to be introduced. Stay tuned.

Tattoo conventions certainly have a lot to offer tattoo enthusiasts and the local communities, starting with access to some of the best artists from around the world, without the expense of flights and accommodations. The question of sanitation at conventions has long been a topic of concern debated by artists and collectors in the community…how can you protect yourself? As far as artists and sterility goes, you're fine- the same professional level of cleanliness is mandated by the local governing bodies and health departments. In many places the artists are required to show proof of their own health licenses, if not acquire temporary ones from the city hosting the tattoo convention. So, that's not the real problem. All the same sterilization techniques are used, their machines and equipment is covered, cleaned and/or disposed of between each tattoo. And all tattoos done at the convention site should still be properly cleaned and wrapped prior to anyone leaving the booth. No problem, right? So what's the concern, then? Not much at all, until you visit the bathrooms and find dozens of those fresh, bloody, tattoo bandages discarded in the waste receptacles, lying around on the floors or even sitting on the sink countertops! Cross-contamination concerns abound! Once that bandage is removed, the safety barrier protecting their bloody wound from the outside environment (and vice versa) is gone. Without proper knowledge on sanitary procedures, everything those people touch after that bandage becomes a possible reservoir for disease- doors, sinks, stalls, mirrors, walls, furniture, bars, stools, ...

Crash: My first tattoo convention, San Diego,1993
This post is the story about my very first tattoo convention. It was (gasp) 1993 (I think; it could have been 1992); I was a fairly inexperienced, young tattooer and my new boss, "Painless" Paul Nelson (of Atlanta's famous Ace Tattoo Studio), decided to attend the San Diego "Tattoo Tour", (an early convention circuit put on by JD Crowe and his partner…both tattoo artists). Paul was scheduled to get his chest worked on by Gil Monte, a leading black and grey artist of the day who specialized in these awesome fineline, black and grey skulls with eyeballs…and, most importantly, Paul insisted I come with him and try to get tattooed while we were there. So COOL! Here I was– new job, new boss, first trip, and I was hungry to learn everything I could about tattooing. It was a big deal, my first convention…and most exciting was when I learned that all the superstars of 1990's tattooing were going to be there. Now I wanted a tattoo. Not only that, but I wanted a GOOD TATTOO, from one of the artists who was inspiring me. It was great realizing that I could actually be getting a piece from one of my personal tattoo heroes! I saved money for a few months and began trying to figure out how to get an appointment, and who with, once I realized there were a lot of choices– Jack Rudy, Eddie Deutsche, Guy Aitchison, Aaron Cain, Marcus Pacheco, Paul Booth, Kari Barba, Gil Monte, and so many more…(I ...

Tattoo Events, the Artists and You
Tattoo events are almost everywhere and new tattoo enthusiasts join the pack almost every minute all over the world. What started as an innocent, small body ink can turn into a burning passion that you couldn't live without. Many celebrities, who had small tattoo, at first, became tattoo enthusiasts and maintained regular appointments with their favorite tattoo artist. If you are curious about what goes on in the world of tattoo, then it is best to attend any of the tattoo events when your schedule permits. You will learn a great deal about the art and the reasons behind its rising popularity. Before, only tribesmen, service men, circus people, and criminals got to wear tattoos. Today, almost anyone who has a flair for tattoo art can wear one. If you need a quick introduction and learn about tattoos, then going to a tattoo convention is the best place to start. What to Expect Most artists attend all tattoo conventions whenever their schedule permits. It is a great avenue for them to share their expertise and gather new clients. They also get to meet with fellow artists and old friends. There are artists who hold exhibits and showcase some of their work. If you are on the lookout for a tattoo designer to hire, then the event can give you lots of suggestions. You might even see them in action. Some tattoo events also hold contests and seminars where artists get to participate. The usual categories for the contest are ... Read More »

The Pros and Cons of Tattoo Conventions
Thinking about attending your first tattoo convention? Here are some suggestions for getting the most out of your convention experience, and a few warnings to consider before you go. The very best tattoo conventions in my experience, (for fans and pros alike), are those hosted by actual tattooers. I've been involved in tattooing for 25 years now, and I remember back in my early days the sheer excitement of attending one of the perhaps three or four tattoo conventions being held per year. My first convention experience was magical. (*Read about here-) Good tattoo conventions are special; they encourage community, advance the craft, and they are focused on the fans, the art AND the artists, not the money. In the beginning, conventions were exclusively put on by art-ists, not corporations and not event professionals. Today, more numerous than ever, conventions seem designed for the green more than for the ink, and definitely more than the actual art or craft of tattooing. So many of them are getting known for gouging the artists working the show as well as the thousands of attendees, at every opportunity, charging outrageous amounts for tickets, food, beverages and the like, while they rake it in, hand-over fist, capitalizing on tattooing's meteoric rise in popularity. Tattooing doesn't matter to these people, it's just an opportunity to make money. And it's no wonder, tattoo conventions have become a multi-million dollar industry over the last several years, with more than 400 tattoo conventions being held annually, worldwide! That's an average of more ... Read More »
Inksmith & Rogers 30th Anniversary
By Deb Yarian Early in my tattoo career, I was blessed by the friendship and mentorship of Eric Inksmith and the late legendary Paul Rogers. At a time when secrets of the trade were highly guarded, their willingness to share their knowledge with others was a rare commodity. It was that, their shared love of tattooing, and their hospitable natures that drew travelers from all over the globe to the first Inksmith and Rogers shop that Eric and Paul opened in Jacksonville, Florida, in 1984. Three decades later, those same qualities are what drew me and hundreds of fellow tattooers, friends and their families back to Jacksonville for a two day celebration of their 30th anniversary. Paul passed away in 1990 but hosts, Eric Inksmith, Mike Wilson, and Angelo Miller succeeded in carrying on in that same spirit of generosity during the two day event. Inksmith and Rogers consists of five shops now, spread across the city, home to more than 25 devoted tattooers known throughout the tattoo world for their bold, colorful, beautifully executed tattoos. Throughout both days of the celebration resident and guest artists tattooed at all of the I & R locations. People lined up for hours waiting to get tattooed by Eric, many hoping to get The signature Inksmith and Roger's smile and a "30" year mark. Their flagship shop's large outdoor area resembled a carnival midway festooned with tents and flower covered tables. Guests, Philadelphia Eddie and Bowery Stan Moskowitz manned a table, selling their ... Read More »
Italian Adventures and Lessons Learned
By Nicki Kasper I've met a lot of people over the last five years in this industry… I've made a lot of surface level friends and I've been blessed with quite a few real genuine friendships with people who truly care for me, and want to know who I am and what I'm about. I'm always humbled by this, and it means a lot to me when it's clear that I'm not being used for what I might be able to do for someone. I always notice. I was personally invited to attend the World Wide Tattoo Conference by my friend, Alex de Pase last week in Venice, and it was great. It's two and a half days of seminars, speeches, and discussion panels in front of a room full of people eager to learn and be inspired. I'm not a tattooer, I'm a business owner, but even I can stand to learn something from artists who are teaching and talking about what inspires them, what they have trouble with, and how they get through it. It's all relative. There are many different styles when it comes to tattooing, as well as different schools of thought in this small industry, but… I do believe that we all stand to learn something from all of them. I think having an open mind and a willingness to shut the fuck up, realize that you might not know everything, and listen to someone teach or speak about what it is that helps them ... Read More »

Alliance of Professional Tattooists
By Jason Sweet This article is part two, in a two part series, about the professional organizations in tattooing. I attended the APT Trade Show as part of my research and found myself not only rejoining them after a 10 year hiatus; I found myself being recruited for service to the APT in the future. As much as I tried to resist, the call of service to my profession was too loud to ignore. Over the weekend, I was struck as to the commitment some had made to attend the APT trade show. I met a woman tattooist from Austria and a man from Australia. One couple I met drove to the trade show from Indiana, because flying from their home was prohibitively expensive. I personally found this type of dedication to tattooing and the APT, inspiring and motivating. I only took 5 days out of my year to attend the trade show; they took two weeks. I was originally introduced to the Alliance of Professional Tattooists, when I was tattooing about 2 years. I was hired at a tattoo studio that required I become a member of the APT as part of working for them. Joining the APT required filling out an application and providing professional references and a sponsor, as I had been tattooing less than three years. Additionally, I was required to take the Preventing Disease Transmission in Tattooing (PDTT) as part of my membership. The PDTT course was 6 hours long. It covered Blood Born Pathogens ...

Alex de Pase on the World Wide Tattoo Conference
By Nicki Kasper What was the inspiration for the World Wide Tattoo Conference, and who's idea was it in the beginning? The project WWTC (WorldWideTattooConference) was conceived in 2011. The original idea was to get together different talented Tattoists in an itinerant multicultural context who would travel around the world, stopping over in significant European and American spots to share and offer their expertise and personal views of their work to the global tattoo community. The initial idea was mine. This year's conference is in Venice, Italy… Where have previous conferences been held? Did you find that each event had a different vibe? 2014 is the year to get back to the origins… After the first edition of Rome 2011, the WWTC is going back to its home country, Italy. So far the WWTC has been held 5 times, once in Europe and once in the States alternatively: 2011 was in Rome, April 2012 was the turn of Chigago, then September of the same year in London… 2013 was in Boston and 2014 will be Venice (actually it is in Mogliano Veneto, 10 minutes from Venice). Each edition had definitely a different vibe, specially if we distinguish between Europe and the US, but I guess the most distinctive one was the atmosphere perceived in London, as this conference was much rougher and wilder than the other ones, being it held in the same premises of the 8th London Tattoo Convention and just before the very same convention. How has the conference progressed ... Read More »

How Rinsecup Cleanup Came About
By Dan Mcnab I'm a tattoo artist in the city of Huntington Beach, Ca. I own and work at The Tattoo Gallery with four of my very close friends. After years and years of leaking trash bags, I decided one day to put an end to it once and for all and created RinseCup CleanUp. When I designed this product I made sure it is the best that exists and can not get any better. Also, it's non-toxic because our trash gets put into landfills and that would only hurt the environment. I believe as a whole, us humans do enough of that! Disposing of our rinse cups and ink caps this way is the safest method and eliminates cross-contamination in our trade due to the contaminated liquids we produce. Once in the landfill, RinseCup CleanUp slowly releases the water and improves soil conditions through aeration. It's less expensive than using paper towels and safer than dumping it down a sink. When that method is used more toxic chemicals are needed to clean the area it was dumped in, which leads to poisoning our environment even more. Now we are in many countries and the response is amazing. So much support from this trade! The only advertising I have done is thru IG. It's spreading like wildfire and I'm excited to see where it goes from here. It's only been about 6 months since I released it for sale!

By Marisa Kakoulas www.needlesandsins.com In Athens, Greece, the Sake Tattoo Crew is an incubator for top tattoo talent — not just respected in the country, but worldwide. One artist from this collective is Kiriakos Balaskas. Tattooing for 8 years after a tough apprenticeship with Sake, Kiriakos developed a style combining abstract expressionism watercolors and graphic art. But I wanted to learn from him how he views his work, and tattoo culture as a whole, so I took him away from organizing the Athens Tattoo Convention, which is May 23-25, for a quick Q&A. If forced to define your style, how would you describe it? What are the strongest influences on your work?My tattoo style in general has always been a combination of heavy themes/ lines/ shapes, and naive — almost childish — color details. I've always found this invasion of joy into strictness (two sides that equally attract me) very interesting and exciting. As soon as I started experimenting with the watercolor technique, I felt I had finally found the absolute way of expressing this ultimate combination. My pieces mainly include these distinctive elements: a black graphic stencil or sketch, and either a brush or wide, "clean," kid-style watercolors — usually two colors only. It is hard for me to define it in a sole, strict term as there is no one else in Greece who practises this style, but if forced to define it, I'd use the term my costumers use when they ask for it, "Kiddo."Some old school artists believe that "only bold ...

Syria insurgents likely committed war crime: UN
Fri Nov 2, 2012 11:41AM
Coville underlined that those who committed the execution should be under no illusion they could get away with their crimes."Accountability will follow," he said, adding that the video could well be used as "evidence" in legal proceedings. The so-called Syrian National Council (SNC) also said on Thursday that the West and its allies instigate radicalization in the crisis-hit Arab country. Syria has been experiencing unrest since March 2011. Many people, including large numbers of army and security personnel, have been killed in the turmoil. MKA/AZ

A Phase I Dose-Finding Study of Silybin Phosphatidylcholine (Milk Thistle) in Patients With Advanced Hepatocellular Carcinoma
2014; 13 (1): 46-53
. To determine the maximum tolerated dose per day of silybin phosphatidylcholine (Siliphos) in patients with advanced hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and hepatic dysfunction.. Patients with advanced HCC not eligible for other therapies based on poor hepatic function were enrolled in a phase I study of silybin phosphatidylcholine. A standard phase I design was used with 4 planned cohorts, dose escalating from 2, 4, 8, to 12 g per day in divided doses for 12 weeks.. Three participants enrolled in this single institution trial. All enrolled subjects consumed 2 g per day of study agent in divided doses. Serum concentrations of silibinin and silibinin glucuronide increased within 1 to 3 weeks. In all 3 patients, liver function abnormalities and tumor marker α-fetoprotein progressed, but after day 56 the third patient showed some improvement in liver function abnormalities and inflammatory biomarkers. All 3 participants died within 23 to 69 days of enrolling into the trial, likely from hepatic failure, but it could not be ruled out that deaths were possibly due to the study drug.. Short-term administration of silybin phosphatidylcholine in patients with advanced HCC resulted in detectable increases in silibinin and its metabolite, silibinin glucuronide. The maximum tolerated dose could not be established. Since patients died soon after enrollment, this patient population may have been too ill to benefit from an intervention designed to improve liver function tests.

Multiple clinical forms of dehydrated hereditary stomatocytosis arise from mutations in PIEZO1.
2013; 121 (19): 3925-?
Autosomal dominant dehydrated hereditary stomatocytosis (DHSt) usually presents as a compensated hemolytic anemia with macrocytosis and abnormally shaped red blood cells (RBCs). DHSt is part of a pleiotropic syndrome that may also exhibit pseudohyperkalemia and perinatal edema. We identified PIEZO1 as the disease gene for pleiotropic DHSt in a large kindred by exome sequencing analysis within the previously mapped 16q23-q24 interval. In 26 affected individuals among 7 multigenerational DHSt families with the pleiotropic syndrome, 11 heterozygous PIEZO1 missense mutations cosegregated with disease. PIEZO1 is expressed in the plasma membranes of RBCs and its messenger RNA, and protein levels increase during in vitro erythroid differentiation of CD34(+) cells. PIEZO1 is also expressed in liver and bone marrow during human and mouse development. We suggest for the first time a correlation between a PIEZO1 mutation and perinatal edema. DHSt patient red cells with the R2456H mutation exhibit increased ion-channel activity. Functional studies of PIEZO1 mutant R2488Q expressed in Xenopus oocytes demonstrated changes in ion-channel activity consistent with the altered cation content of DHSt patient red cells. Our findings provide direct evidence that R2456H and R2488Q mutations in PIEZO1 alter mechanosensitive channel regulation, leading to increased cation transport in erythroid cells.

Killed but Metabolically Active Leishmania infantum as a Novel Whole-Cell Vaccine for Visceral Leishmaniasis
2012; 19 (4): 490-498
There are currently no effective vaccines for visceral leishmaniasis, the second most deadly parasitic infection in the world. Here, we describe a novel whole-cell vaccine approach using Leishmania infantum chagasi promastigotes treated with the psoralen compound amotosalen (S-59) and low doses of UV A radiation. This treatment generates permanent, covalent DNA cross-links within parasites and results in Leishmania organisms termed killed but metabolically active (KBMA). In this report, we characterize the in vitro growth characteristics of both KBMA L. major and KBMA L. infantum chagasi. Concentrations of S-59 that generate optimally attenuated parasites were identified. Like live L. infantum chagasi, KBMA L. infantum chagasi parasites were able to initially enter liver cells in vivo after intravenous infection. However, whereas live L. infantum chagasi infection leads to hepatosplenomegaly in mice after 6 months, KBMA L. infantum chagasi parasites were undetectable in the organs of mice at this time point. In vitro, KBMA L. infantum chagasi retained the ability to enter macrophages and induce nitric oxide production. These characteristics of KBMA L. infantum chagasi correlated with the ability to prophylactically protect mice via subcutaneous vaccination at levels similar to vaccination with live, virulent organisms. Splenocytes from mice vaccinated with either live L. infantum chagasi or KBMA L. infantum chagasi displayed similar cytokine patterns in vitro. These results suggest that KBMA technology is a potentially safe and effective novel vaccine strategy against the intracellular protozoan L. infantum chagasi. This approach may represent a new method for whole-cell vaccination against other complex intracellular pathogens.

Immunomodulation by Imiquimod in Patients with High-Risk Primary Melanoma
2012; 132 (1): 163-169
Imiquimod is a synthetic Toll-like receptor 7 (TLR7) agonist approved for the topical treatment of actinic keratoses, superficial basal cell carcinoma, and genital warts. Imiquimod leads to an 80-100% cure rate of lentigo maligna; however, studies of invasive melanoma are lacking. We conducted a pilot study to characterize the local, regional, and systemic immune responses induced by imiquimod in patients with high-risk melanoma. After treatment of the primary melanoma biopsy site with placebo or imiquimod cream, we measured immune responses in the treated skin, sentinel lymph nodes (SLNs), and peripheral blood. Treatment of primary melanomas with 5% imiquimod cream was associated with an increase in both CD4+ and CD8+ T cells in the skin, and CD4+ T cells in the SLN. Most of the CD8+ T cells in the skin were CD25 negative. We could not detect any increases in CD8+ T cells specifically recognizing HLA-A(*)0201-restricted melanoma epitopes in the peripheral blood. The findings from this small pilot study demonstrate that topical imiquimod treatment results in enhanced local and regional T-cell numbers in both the skin and SLN. Further research into TLR7 immunomodulating pathways as a basis for effective immunotherapy against melanoma in conjunction with surgery is warranted.

The Trouble with Endings, Part 2: The Re-conclusioning
The trouble with endings, of course, is that they are really difficult to do well. I'll try to take that warning to heart myself, since this piece will be my last for The Cultural Gutter. And what better way to wrap up a really fun time on a neat project than to look at endings!
What Changing An Ending Means
Becky Chambers breaks down the controversy around the ending of Mass Effect 3 in a spoiler-free, accessible and interesting article at The Mary-Sue.
An Outrageous Farewell
The Aquaman Shrine says good-bye to Batman: The Brave and The Bold, the cartoon in which Aquaman was the break-out star, with a look at the last episode, "Mitefall!," and an interview with James Tucker, producer of Batman: The Brave and The Bold.
The Psychology of Spoilers
Science studies whether spoilers spoil. Strangely enough, they might not. Even more strangely, they might make the spoiled story more enjoyable.
No More Uncertain Endings
College Humor fixes ambiguous endings from The Graduate to The Sopranos to No Country for Old Men. I'd be happier if Anton Chigurh were taken out by Llewellyn Moss' ninjitsu, though.
Breaking into the Business by Being Really, Really Disturbing
Disturbing as hell, an elegantly constructed first-person plunge into the mind of a maniac, a teenager who murdered kids when he was a kid (and got away with it), and now has elaborate rituals that mostly involve killing small mammals. As a first novel, that's one way to make a splash – The Wasp Factory […]
His Dark Ending
I call it a bait and switch. The first book in Philip Pullman's His Dark Materials trilogy, The Golden Compass, was an adventure fantasy that was fast-paced and written in an incredibly smooth style. Intrigue, danger, children in peril, armoured polar bears, witch clans at war with each other, and above all, a girl named […]
The Trouble with Endings
I've noticed recently that otherwise good stories have been let down by their endings. It's partly due to the expectations of the audience: you can imagine any kind of ending you want, but when the ending finally arrives, it's been narrowed down to a single one of those possibilities and it might not be as […]

WEDNESDAY, March 19, 2014 (HealthDay News) -- For patients at average risk of colorectal cancer, a multitarget DNA assay has greater sensitivity, but worse specificity than a fecal immunochemical test (FIT), according to a study published online March 19 in the New England Journal of Medicine.
Thomas F. Imperiale, M.D., from the Indiana University School of Medicine in Indianapolis, and colleagues compared a noninvasive, multitarget stool DNA kit with FIT in a cohort of 9,989 individuals at average risk of colorectal cancer. Quantitative molecular assays for KRAS mutations, aberrant NDRG4 and BMP3 methylation, and β-actin, plus a hemoglobin immunoassay were included in the DNA test.
The researchers found that the sensitivity for colorectal cancer detection was 92.3 and 73.8 percent for DNA testing and FIT, respectively (P = 0.002). The corresponding sensitivities for detecting advanced precancerous lesions were 42.4 and 23.8 percent (P < 0.001). For participants with nonadvanced or negative findings, the specificities were 86.6 percent for DNA testing and 94.9 percent for FIT (P < 0.001). The corresponding specificities were 89.8 and 96.4 percent for those with negative results on colonoscopy (P < 0.001).
"In asymptomatic persons at average risk for colorectal cancer, multitarget stool DNA testing detected significantly more cancers than did FIT but had more false positive results," the authors write.

Most heavy-metal concerts don't start at 9 A.M. on Sunday. But Chloe Piene managed to draw a crowd of 250 to hear the Brooklyn band Candiriaand to turn Piene, briefly, into the crowd-surfing rock goddess of Self-Portrait (2002). For the 35-second video loop (inspired by Matthias Grünewald's Isenheim altarpiece), we had a spot on me so that my upper body would overexpose, and you get a glowing, ethereal figure supported by all these metalheads, she says. They're anchored to the earth, like big treesthey throw their weight around.

The Bureau of Land Management released a new Instructional Memorandum 2013-151, clarifying the re-evaluation of bonds required for operations on federal lands. The purpose was to clearly define the terms and conditions now set out in the regulation governing the subject: 43 CFR § 3104.5(b). Here is a brief summary of the IM:
The amount of any bond may be increased whenever it is determined that the operator poses a risk due to certain factors:
The increase in the bond amount may be to any level specified by the BLM's authorized officer, but in no circumstances can it exceed:
When Can There Be an Increase?
Re-evaluations of all bonds shall take place at least once every five years, or sooner if warranted in situations such as transfer of title, submission of an application to drill, failure to timely plug and abandon.
What Will Trigger an Increase?
The IM now sets the basis for adequacy reviews performed by the BLM field officers. A point system will examine the well status, compliance history, and reclamation stewardship and each criterion will be assigned a number of points based on the risk it creates. One example: each shut-in/shut-down of operations in the last three years will be credited as 50 points.
The total number of points will determine whether a bond increase will be issued. Less than 100 points accrue means no bond increase. If more than 100 points are accrued, the bond will be increased. The points are calculated at $500 each.
Can I Avoid an Increase?
It is possible in certain situations for the BLM's Authorized Officer to override a bond increase. The primary situations envisioned by an override are:

Book information
- Published: November 2010
- Imprint: CHURCHILL LIVINGSTONE
"The book reflects a profound appreciation of the full range of knowledge required to gain a detailed, accurate pharmacognostic picture of plant medicine: the 27 herbs surveyed are discussed with an exhaustive eye to historical, empirical and scientific detail." The Institute of Traditional Herbal Medicine & Aromatherapy, November 2011 "This book seeks to address the lack of a coherent description of the history of Western herbal medicine from classical times up to the present day...this is an attractively presented book with line drawings and photographs of the plants and the authors have endeavoured to make the mass of information accessible and readable with summaries and subheadings, as well as a cross-referenced index...Overall, this book will be of interest to both herbal practitioners and historians and will surely become an essential text for students of herbal medicine...this book does make a covincing case for many continuities in traditional uses of medicinal plants which are consistent with our knowledge of materia medica today. Furthermore, the book makes a significant contribution in placing key textual elements of herbal history in relation to one another, and providing a framework to which further historical studies can be linked." Journal of Herbal Medicine, December 2011

LGBT Activism: Serving in Solidarity With LGBT Young Adults and their Families
With the publication of his book Changing Our Mind in 2015, Dr. Gushee immediately became catapulted into activism related to perhaps the most controversial issue in our nation today. Unlike many, however, Dr. Gushee is not primarily interested in policy issues vis-à-vis gays and lesbians. He believes the primary issue, or at least his primary call, is to address the fundamental basis of anti-gay sentiment at its religious taproot. He also is focusing both his service/activism and a growing personal ministry to LGBT young adults and their families. He believes the LGBT issue has been fundamentally misunderstood as a sexual ethics issue; actually, it is a youth health/mental health and family cohesion issue, especially for LGBT young people from religiously conservative families. Thus his commitments to work with the Family Acceptance Project and the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention. He also seeks to support the work of the Reformation Project and Level Ground.
Evangelical-Progressive Dialogue and Common Ground Activism
Working in partnership with Third Way (see video) and other contexts, Dr. Gushee has been and continues to be involved in numerous Evangelical-Progressive dialogue efforts to move toward creative common ground policy measures in contested "culture wars" arenas including LGBT rights, abortion reduction, and immigration. He supports comprehensive immigration reform, gun safety legislation, health care reform, common sense abortion reduction strategies, global women's rights and health advances, and LGBT employment rights and relationship recognition within the context of religious liberty protections.
Human Rights and Torture
For three years Dr. Gushee served as the President of Evangelicals for Human Rights (EHR) which supported and partnered with the National Religious Campaign Against Torture (NRCAT). These efforts continued for several more years in his work with the New Evangelical Partnership for the Common Good. These groups pressed for full respect for human rights in U.S. counterterrorism policy and zero tolerance for torture. Dr. Gushee's work on the torture issue culminated in his involvement in the national Detainee Task Force of the Constitution Project, which released its report in April 2013.
Climate Change
Dr. Gushee was the main drafter of the Evangelical Climate Initiative (2006). An initiative of the Evangelical Environmental Network, the ECI statement argues that human-induced climate change is a serious moral issue that requires Christians, policymakers, and others to take immediate action. He remains involved in climate-related efforts, and has worked with the Center for Health and the Global Environment at Harvard Medical School on ongoing efforts ot bring the nation's leading scientists together with evangelicals for care fo creation. Today he remains in dialogue with various scientific, ethical, and religious leaders and organizations to work on these issues.
Nuclear Weapons
For nearly thirty years, Dr. Gushee has been involved in peacemaking efforts and concerned especially about nuclear weapons and nuclear proliferation. Today he is involved in the Two Futures Project, which aims at getting the United States to embrace a goal of zero nuclear weapons as a national policy, and to lead in international negotiations for a world without nuclear weapons.
Peacemaking in the Middle East
Dr. Gushee cares deeply about issues related to Israel and Palestine and is preparing to undertake his third trip to the region soon. He supports a balanced just peacemaking approach equally committed to the rights and the well-being of Israelis and Palestinians, and equally resistant to unbalanced American Christian approaches of either the right or the left. He is pro-peace, pro-justice, pro-Israel, and pro-Palestine, and believes this is the only way forward for all concerned.

Nursing managers' responsibilities involve the supervision and management of staff, facilities and/or other areas providing direct or indirect health services.

Cottrell held a telephone hearing this morning involving both Reed and the NFL Players Association to review Reed's third helmet-to-helmet hit against a defenseless receiver in three seasons.The latest incident occurred on Sunday night, when Reed was penalized for a hit on Pittsburgh Steelers' wideout Emmanuel Sanders. In a letter to Reed, Cottrell wrote that the hit did not warrant a suspension, which would have cost Reed $423,529 in salary."I have determined that your actions were egregious and warrant significant discipline. However, I do not believe that your actions were so egregious as to subject you to a one-game suspension without pay. Player safety is the league's primary concern in the formation of playing rules and all players are expected to adhere to those rules or face disciplinary action. I hope in the future you will focus on ensuring that your play conforms to the rules."The decision comes as a surprise to many who view the appeals process as a mere formality. CBSSports.com's Mike Freeman tweeted that "no one" expected this result:https://twitter.com/realfreemancbs/status/270993956987346944 Reed and the AFC North-leading Ravens travel to San Diego this week to take on the 4-6 Chargers. The safety has intercepted three passes this year to bring his 11-year NFL total to 60, 10th most in history. Promoted Stories Comments
