Western governments are sending millions of pounds of aid to areas held by the radical Islamic group Isis in northern Syria, The Independent can reveal.
The aid, which is paid for by the UK, European and US governments, consists of food, medicine and hygiene kits. It is brought into the country through the war-torn north from the two last remaining border posts open with Turkey in Reyhanli and Kilis.
Western groups such as Mercy Corps International, the Norwegian Refugee Council, World Vision, the International Rescue Committee and the United Nations World Food Programme provide supplies to hundreds of thousands of people every month across the self-proclaimed Islamic State.
This includes towns such as Raqqa, Manbij and Jarablus, which have witnessed beheadings, crucifixions and other draconian interpretations of sharia since Isis took over early this year.
"We have lots of direct shipments into Isis-held areas. Nearly all of our trucks go through the Turkish border post near Kilis. Sometimes they get stuck en route, and we have to wait two or three weeks for them to get there if they get held up by fighting or another opposition group which isn't happy that we're sending aid through an Isis checkpoint," said a Western aid worker. Aid groups say their aim is to help vulnerable people, not to support the rule of Isis. Mercy Corps, which has headquarters in the UK and the US, has received £27.3m from the UK Department for International Development for humanitarian activities in Syria.
A spokeswoman for Mercy Corps said: "We have been delivering essential aid to hundreds of thousands of civilians in need on all sides of the conflict, irrespective of race, ethnicity, religion or political affiliation – as an independent, impartial humanitarian organisation, that is our mandate."
Isis uses social media to demonstrate the brutality with which it treats its enemies and those who break its laws. But it uses the same media to show it distributing aid and administering healthcare to people under its rule.

Demonstrators chant slogans as they carry al-Qa'ida flags in front of the provincial government headquarters in Mosul, 225 miles (360 kilometers) northwest of Baghdad. In the week since it captured Iraq's second-largest city, Mosul, a Muslim extremist group has tried to win over residents and has stopped short of widely enforcing its strict brand of Islamic law, residents say. Churches remain unharmed and street cleaners are back at work
Its ability to deliver free aid and free fuel has been a major factor in persuading residents of recently conquered towns such as Mosul to accept its rule.
A spokesman for Dfid said it did not supply aid to Isis directly: "We supply life-saving aid to people who need it, in line with international humanitarian principles including impartiality."
Bashar al-Assad, who was sworn in for a third term today, said states that have supported terrorism will pay the price and that he would fight insurgents until security was restored to the country.
"Soon we will see that the Arab, regional and Western states that supported terrorism will pay a high price," he told his supporters at the presidential palace.
Meanwhile in warehouses and industrial parks along Turkey's southern border, there are shipping containers waiting to be unloaded. Workers unload unmarked boxes which are then loaded on to commercial trucks. The food includes wheat, rice, tinned tomatoes, sugar and oil. The medical supplies are basic items that do not require cold storage such as bandages and basic drugs.
The trucks are then driven across the border to areas precariously held by Syrian opposition forces and Islamist groups including Jabhat al-Nusra, al-Qa'ida's official branch in Syria, which is also fighting against Isis.
Isis, reinforced by US military supplies taken from defeated Iraqi forces, has renewed its assaults against Syrian non-government forces including Kurds and Western-backed groups such as the Free Syrian Army.
Although Isis is officially fighting Jabhat al-Nusra, the Islamic Front and the Free Syrian Army, humanitarian aid and commercial goods are more often than not allowed to cross the "border" to Isis areas.
The aid is then distributed and monitored by civilian Syrian relief committees, many of which were in place before Isis took over, according to aid workers who operate out of Turkey's southern city of Gaziantep.
Aid workers say Isis, which has kidnapped Western journalists and workers in the past, lets them work mostly without interference. "They're happy to let us work on the large part without preconditions," said one Western aid worker.
Isis is designated a terrorist group by the United State which also offers a reward of $10m (£5.8m) for information leading to the capture of Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, who declared himself caliph in imitation of the companions of Mohamed who set up a caliphate in the Middle East and North Africa in the seventh century.
In addition to international aid, Isis-controlled areas of Raqqa and Deir Ezzour are very fertile and produce a vast amount of the region's wheat. Deir Ezzour also has some of the biggest oilfields in Syria.
Isis is also luring doctors and nurses with large salaries in return for their loyalty, a Syrian doctor working for a Norwegian medical NGO in Raqqa told The Independent.
"They are buying people one by one – they are offering doctors up to 100,000 Syrian pounds a month (£390), which is a fortune there now.
"At the beginning they would take any aid they didn't have to pay for, but since they announced the establishment of the caliphate, they are running their own services so that it can become more like a state."Reuse content

How to delete unread email in MailDroid
Wife has a Samsung Galaxy Tab with MailDroid version 3.35 (I use a PC, so am not involved when she looks at her email) and she asked how to delete an email before she opens it.
I tried but couldn't figure it out - too many icons whose function is unknown - am sure it's easy, but am baffled.

Re: How to delete unread email in MailDroid
If you check the box next to any email, you will see a trash can appear on the top bar.

Re: How to delete unread email in MailDroid
Thanks, maildroiddev, for the response.
Unfortunately, there is NO box next to the emails. I checked PREFERENCES but didn't see anything obvious.
When an email is selected, the 'trash can' appears on the top bar, but she wants to be able to delete an email without opening it (basically so won't get a "drive-by virus").
Latest: see the 'boxes' now ... was looking for bigger & to the left
Thank you, again, maildroiddev !!

Dissociatives is short for dissociative anaesthetics. The dissociatives are one of the major classes of psychedelic drugs. Therapeutically, they act as anaesthetics by essentially disconnecting the brain for the body and sensation. At subtherapeutic doses, these drugs are psychedelics, and often powerfully so. The 3 dissociatives that are currently used recreationally are DXM (dextromethorphan), ketamine, and PCP.
This category is ONLY for sites about the recreational use of dissociatives as a whole. If your site is about a specific dissociative, then submit it to the appropriate subcategory.
Dextromethorphan (DXM) is a dissociative anaesthetic used in many cough syrups and several other over the counter cough preparations because it also has antitussive actions. At doses higher than ordinarily used for cough suppression, it is a very powerful psychedelic drug. DXM is a morphine derivative that acts as a psychedelic by a psychopharmacological mechanism similar to ketamine and PCP.

As Year One of the Obama Era draws to a close, the recent Arianna Huffington/David Plouffe exchange illustrates a structural defect in the coalition Obama's seeking to build. And make no mistake: Some might call it The Year of Living Non-Dangerously, but it looks more like a deliberate strategy. It's not waffling or weakness: Barack Obama wants to become the Tony Blair of American politics.
The President seems to be deliberately moving his party rightward in order to capture the political spectrum from center/right to left, freezing out the Republican Party. It worked for Blair, but will it work here? Or will he lose his base in the process, damaging his own effectiveness? 365 days after his election, here are some pointed - and sometimes painful - questions.
In many ways disappointment with the Obama Presidency was inevitable. The President consciously (and tactically) presented himself as all things to all people, a kind of Rorschach Test on which people could project their own hopes and dreams. But a million different dreams had to collapse into a single reality when the real-life Presidency began, in much the same way that a "probability wave" of many trajectories collapses into a single photon in physics.
But it's more than that. The campaign made implicit promises of trustworthiness and new-style politics, as well as some explicit promises that have been jettisoned without explanation. He reversed himself on key health care pledges without explaining to his supporters why, and he broke his promise on ending government security much the same way. His handling of government spying abuses raises our first question: Would we have ever learned about Watergate if Barack Obama had been President?
He did not run as a center-Right Democrat, nor did he promise to restore the Clinton Administration if elected. There may be good reasons to govern from the center-Right, but he hasn't given his supporters the courtesy of an explanation. And the Clinton Administration was a deep pool of extraordinary talent, so it was wise to draw from it - in most cases. But in many critical jobs - especially Treasury - his choices have been disappointingly weak.
Then there's the whole issue of governing from the center. Here the question becomes, Would Barack Obama be a better President today if he had never read 'Team of Rivals'? Sure, it's inspiring to read how Lincoln drew his bitter opponents into his government, wisely and selflessly. But, leaving aside the challenge some historians have made to that book's thesis, is the President learning that some of his rivals may not have the same high moral standards as Lincoln's? Most politicians want to please everyone, especially those that don't like them. Let us hope that this emotional impulse is not being masked in the cloak of false pragmatism. In other words, Has the President written the wrong future biography for himself? Is he aspiring to be Lincoln when the times call for Roosevelt?
Which leads us to the next question: Is the President's Big Tent big enough to include his supporters? The President has projected an almost visceral dislike of bloggers, and his Cabinet boasts few DC outsiders like the ones that formed his initial base. Rahm Emanuel showered progressive activists with "F bombs" recently. By contrast, during his Presidency Bill Clinton spoke with warmth and empathy about the ragtag protesters at Seattle's World Trade Organization meeting. Many get the sense that Obama sees young (and not so young) activists as foolish and naive, a source of unpredictability and disorder that just makes him uncomfortable. That impression may be false, but it is an impression nevertheless.
Pace Mr. Plouffe, the base's disappointment with the President is not based on "frustration with the pace of change." It's based on their fear that the President may not really be interested in fundamental change. If that is anyone's fault, then to a large extent the blame lies with the President - and his advisors and communicators.
Some (in the Administration and elsewhere) may say, Who cares? What difference does it make if a group of granola-eating activists and bloggers is unhappy? We've got a center-right coalition to build. We're about the hard work of day-to-day governance. But Democrats would be foolish to assume that any future election will be an easy one. A dispirited base damages a campaign at its foundation, and at its heart. Perhaps the President should consider a sit-down with his critics on the Left, as well as those on the Right. If nothing else, he should use them as an excuse for passing legislation he supports anyway.
Compromise is the lifeblood of politics, as long as it's not done too quickly - or too cynically. Obama's lack of specificity on health reform and his willingness to defer to Congress could be seen as expediency, or as more Rorschach Politics. (As long as it's called "health reform" and it passes, we win. ...) Unnecessary compromise dilutes the outcome, especially when one's opponents lack good will.
We wish the President every success at Year One. We remain guardedly optimistic, despite the disappointments. We would pitch in and help ourselves, if we were welcomed. And we recognize that politics is hard, messy, and filled with compromise. But, if greatness is a combination of talent and historical need, this President has the potential for greatness. So the final question is this one:
Does the President understand that compromising with cynics can lead to a half-cynical outcome?

Performance Results
: Complete Drive Backup">
The 20GB USB and PC Card-attached ABSplus drives were tested on our two year old IBM ThinkPad T20 notebook using an IBM Travelstar 20GN (model DJSA-220) 4200rpm, UDMA/66 drive. Our tests consisted of backing up 14GB of data from the notebook, which includes over 70,000 files and 3300 directories.
First we conducted an entire system backup. This test reflects a typical user experience when installing the product for the first time. We did not modify user data or ABS drive settings, and we did not perform a defragmentation of the drive before backing up. However, we did disable Norton AntiVirus for all backup runs.
Youll note slight variations in the number of files backed up, which may be due to some temporary files that may have been created between backups, or more likely additional driver files loaded when setting up the USB device. We completely uninstalled and reinstalled ABS Backup software between each run of the different device types, because the USB and PC Card devices cannot be installed for backup concurrently.
As you can see in the results above, the USB 1.1 version was about 13% faster, but both still took a very long time over seven hours even though it was a backup of the entire disk. Clearly, bottlenecks existed elsewhere, because CardBus transfers should be much faster than USB 1.1. Reading and writing a mix of random and sequential data from two 4200rpm drives across large expanses of the disk surface likely was the main bottleneck, along with possible driver inefficiencies. Compared to typical 40GB DAT tape backup solutions that claim 200+MB/minute speeds transferring compressed data, the ABSplus drives are slow. But in both ABSplus cases, we ran the full system backups overnight, so it really didnt matter much.
We expected the PC Card device to outperform the USB device, because the notebook only supports USB 1.1, and CMS informed us that the PC Card device is a CardBus device (PCI signal translations, not ISA signal translations).

text: The Old-Ass 2014 Toyota Tundra Still Has Something To OfferAndrew P Collins5/01/15 10:00am1425EditPromoteGo to permalink Remember your first car? Probably wasn't too fancy, fast, or "Best In Class" at anything. But it was easy to master, resilient, and way more fun than it had any right to be. The 2014 Toyota Tundra brings those feelings right back, and I promise it's still worth looking at.

Call For Entries Guidelines
Now in its 51st year, the Fence Show got its name when members' artwork was exhibited on the iron fence surrounding Washington Park in Troy, the original location of the Arts Center. Today, the exhibition typically features approximately 500 pieces, displayed salon style (floor-to-ceiling) in our galleries. All levels of skill and ability are represented, from novice to professional. We invite you to become a part of the tradition!
Kimberly Marrero, Art Advisor & Independent Curator, will serve as this year's juror. She will identify approximately 50 pieces from the Fence Salon, which will later be assembled into the Fence Select, an exhibition that runs for several weeks after the Fence Salon is taken down.
Kimberly Marrero holds a Bachelor of Arts degree in Art History from Dowling College with continued studies in the area of Latin American Art History at School Of Visual Arts. Ms. Marrero is currently based in New York City as an independent curator and museum educator at the Solomon R Guggenheim Museum, and has worked with many renowned artists, galleries and alternative art spaces around the world. kmartadvisory.com.
New this year, we will be awarding a total of $3000 in cash awards, to be selected by the juror and staff at the Arts Center. The awards are intended to support artists of all levels of experience, and are made possible through the generous support of Karen & Chet Opalka and the Marcelle Foundation. The Fence Awards will be announced at the Gala on May 19.
The Fence Show will coincide with the Arts Center's signature fund raising event, the Arts Center Gala, on Thursday, May 19 at 5:30 PM. Fence Awards will be announced, and the artwork chosen by the juror for the Fence Select will be revealed that evening. Gala attendees will get a sneak peek of the Fence Show before the exhibit opens to the public on May 20.

Six-times champion jockey Kieren Fallon, whose career could have been destroyed by a race-fixing trial and a drugs ban, made his comeback today after nearly two years but could only manage a second and a fourth in his first two rides at Lingfield Park.
In the first race, he broke fast from the stalls on 13-8 joint favourite Rare Malt but could not resist the challenge of 20-1 outsider Mr Mahoganeigh who won by two and a quarter lengths under leading woman jockey Hayley Turner.
An hour later the ex-champion partnered 2-1 shot Roodee King but never got in a blow behind 7-1 chance Chantilly Jewel.
"I'll kill that Hayley," Fallon joked as he dismounted after the first race on one of the most eagerly awaited comebacks in racing.
Fallon, pursued by a phalanx of paparazzi and a large press contingent at the course near London, said of his lifelong passion for racing: "I enjoy it. It is the only thing I know, it is the only thing I want to do."
The 44-year-old was applauded by racegoers who shouted welcome back in the autumn sunshine.
Fallon said: "It all helps build your confidence back up again. When I was walking out I was a little bit nervous but when I got on the horse it totally changed."
The ambition still burns, telling reporters he wanted "to ride as many winners as I can and have a crack at the championship in 2010."
They were the first rides in Britain for more than three years for the Irishman, who had been involved in a race-fixing trial at London's Old Bailey court in 2007.
He was cleared but then was given an 18-month worldwide ban by racing authorities for testing positive for a prohibited substance while riding in France in 2007.
The last time he rode in public, Fallon gave Dylan Thomas an inspired ride in October 2007 to win the Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe in Paris.
The next day he rode in a taxi to court for the race-fixing trial that could have torpedoed his chequered career.
Fallon, winner of 15 classics including three Epsom Derbies, has kept fit by riding out for a string of trainers during his enforced exile from the sport that is his life.
In the latest chapter of a career that reads like the plot for a Dick Francis racing thriller, he set himself a tough weekend pace - with seven rides on his first day back, a return to Group One competition at Haydock on Saturday and then to Germany on Sunday.

I miss this. I can't wait. It's a great family show.1 years ago
Just watched half of season 1 in one night and surprised with how much I enjoyed this! I think the fact that it's not just drama based on like one character but a whole "family" and friends makes it that much better because you kind of get a break from the other drama happening to one person and get to see what's going on with others, it just spreads it out which I like. I also love all the characters and I know everyone hates brallie together but I actually enjoy them, even if they piss me off with their questionable choices but then again If I was either of them in their situation I dont think I can say I wouldn't be as stupid or that I'd make better decisions because I probs wouldn't. Love this show but I need a little break from all the drama!! But I'll be back.1 years ago

I don't think its harder to portray a lesbian than any other character. were either playing straight folk, if the characters had boyfriends (which most straight ones do) theyd still be kissing someone other than their spouse when acting. if they played a psycho killer, would it be harder because they arent really psycho killers? no, that's what acting is. and, just because they have husbands, they can't understand or relate to same sex attraction automatically? maybe theyre bi, like anna paquin, angelina jolie or drew barrymore.. its offensive that you think its so challenging. how many actors work does that undermine? i should think its far more difficult to portray a character with special needs or physical challenges like tom hanks or juliette lewis or giovanni ribisi or dustin hoffman, leonardo dicaprio etc etc4 years ago
maybe just maybe, its possible for people to be comfortable and confident enough in their sexual identity that it doesn't change who they are or incite negative feelings about their acting jobs. its just a job, probably just like any other to them. maybe they are even happy to be part of something that inspires inclusion and accepting of modern lifestyle choices, and works to tear down the walls that hatred and fear built so long ago. is that so hard to consider?
broaden your minds, question your thinking. what would the alternative pov think about yours?
I am impressed with the actresses playing Lena and Stef! It must be hard for them portraying a lesbian couple considering the fact that they both have husbands! This show is awesome! It is definitely going to my favorites list...4 years ago

Ellis steps in, steps up
He had become the somewhat forgotten man in the Ducks' goaltender derby, but Dan Ellis produced a memorable performance Friday.
He stopped 23 of 24 Kings' shots, helping the Ducks to their playoff-clinching 2-1 victory.
Coach Randy Carlyle called a stop Ellis made on a wide-open, in-close Wayne Simmonds in the first period "the game-changer" and "the game-saver."
"We missed the assignment," Carlyle explained. "Two guys went to one and Simmonds was all alone. Dan Ellis came up with a big, game-saving glove save. We were able to recover from that after the first period and got our game going in the second."
Ellis, who improved to 7-2-1 in 10 starts for the Ducks, was filling in for Ray Emery (lower body injury). With All-Star Jonas Hiller (vertigo) out, Emery had emerged as the No. 1 goaltender until he was unable to finish the game Wednesday against San Jose.
Carlyle said it was too early to know Emery's availability for Saturday night against the Kings at Staples Center.

Foreign Secretary calls for restraint in Cote d'Ivoire
This news article was published under the 2010 to 2015 Conservative and Liberal Democrat coalition government
Violence continues to occur in Abidjan, Cote d'Ivoire. Foreign Secretary William Hague has issued a statement calling for restraint on all sides.
"I am gravely concerned by the violence in Cote d'Ivoire and deplore reports of loss of life. I call on all sides to exercise restraint, and condemn the looting and lawlessness reported in Abidjan. I am determined that all alleged human rights abuses in the city and elsewhere in Cote d'Ivoire must be investigated and those responsible held to account.
"Laurent Gbagbo must heed the calls from the international community and step down at once to prevent further bloodshed. I will be discussing the crisis with AU Chairperson Jean Ping during his visit to London on Monday."

Ray LaHood had a lot on his plate when he was the US Secretary of Transportation. Whether it was distracted driving, cash for clunkers or troubles with Toyota, LaHood was at the helm of the DOT during a tumultuous time. Now that he's been away from the post for half a year, he's ready to get back into the swing of things by joining the board of directors at electric bus manufacturer Proterra. Proterra is the company behind the EcoRide fast-charging electric bus.

187 months later, Jeep 'trailer hitch' recall still stalled

For the past few years, Chrysler and its CEO, Sergio Marchionne, have gone head-to-head with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration and its boss, David Strickland, over the government safety agency's request for Chrysler to recall almost three-million Jeep vehicles due to what NHTSA says is a safety issue that has caused at least 51 deaths. After a three-year investigation and Chrysler's initial refusal to issue a recall because it deemed the vehicles safe and built to the day's fede

Despite the fact that Chrysler and the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration have compromised on last month's heated recall situation involving the Jeep Grand Cherokee and Liberty, it looks like the matter is still far from over. The Detroit News is reporting that NHTSA could end up crash testing the repaired vehicles, some of which are receiving Mopar trailer hitches to better protect the rear-mounted gas tank from being damaged during an accident.

In its continuing battle against distracted driving, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has issued voluntary guidelines covering the use of in-car infotainment and communication devices. It is NHTSA's intention that the proposals, which have been in the works for a year and are partly based on a 2010 study called "Impact of Hand-Held and Hands-Free Cell Phone Use on Driving Performance and Safety Critical Event Risk," will be phased in over the next three years. That would give a
22Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood stepping down
US Secretary of Transportation Ray LaHood has announced that he will not serve a second term in President Obama's Cabinet, but will stay on until a successor is confirmed. Of his and the Department of Transportation's many initiatives, the one LaHood will perhaps be remembered for most is his efforts to reduce distracted driving, particularly the dangers of texting while driving. Secretary LaHood even addressed Autoblog readers directly about the subject back in 2010.

18New CAFE rules officially finalized; 54.5 mpg is like making gas $1/gallon cheaper
- Sebastian Blanco

Increasing the Corporate Average Fuel Economy standards for model year 2017-2025 vehicles to 54.5 miles per gallon was first proposed in July 2011. Since then, there has been a lot of back and forth, a lot of positive and negative responses, and, lately, a delay for unknown reasons. Since the CAFE rules were not changed between the mid-1980s and when President Obama came into office and rules for 2012-2016 model year vehicles were put in place in 2010, it's not a huge surprise this update took s

Turns out the federal government's attempts to create enforceable oversight of cellphone use in vehicles has hit a Swiftian snag: it seems there isn't a government agency specifically empowered with the authority to do so. The legislative boundaries of the Federal Communications Commission end at the phone itself, those of the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration end at the vehicle itself. Neither is equipped to address how people combine the two while driving.

In order to protect drivers in the event they depress both the accelerator and the brake pedal at the same time, automakers will be required to install a bake-throttle override on new vehicles moving forward. The hope is that the systems will curb instances of unintended acceleration. The new standards will apply on all cars, trucks and buses regardless of weight. NHTSA

Up until recently, that sign was one of the hundreds of thousands that were set to be replaced by 2018, according to a mandate formerly on the books. Now, however, the Obama administration is getting rid of that rule so that local governments can decide if and when a sign needs to replaced.

CO has been regarded by the scientific community as an environmental pollutant, asphyxiant and noxious health hazard from occupational or industrial exposure. Counter to this established toxicity and popular view of CO as a lethal substance, this laboratory and others have established a cyto- and tissue protective function of low concentrations of CO in cell culture and animal models of cell and tissue injury. While preliminary studies have established an anti-inflammatory effect of CO in rodents, less is known of the therapeutic potential of CO against polymicrobial sepsis. Furthermore, few studies have addressed this therapeutic potential in higher organisms such as non-human primates or humans. Despite indications that the therapeutic effects of CO in preventing tissue injury involve anti-inflammatory, anti-apoptotic, and anti-proliferative effects, the molecular mechanisms by which CO impacts cellular homeostasis remain incompletely understood. (Macro)-autophagy has gained recent attention as a fundamental cellular homeostatic mechanism which facilitates cellular survival under adverse conditions by recycling endogenous cellular macromolecules through lysosomal-dependent degradation. Autophagy was originally characterized in yeast, but the recent characterization of this process in mammals has raised intensive interest in its biological significance and potential as a therapeutic target. The endogenous regulation of autophagy as a either a protagonist or adaptive mechanism during disease pathogenesis is not well understood. Furthermore, nothing is known of how gaseous mediators such as CO may regulate this process. Thus, the characterization of mechanisms by which gaseous molecules such as CO could regulate autophagy and its relationship to tissue protection is a highly novel concept, with far-reaching implications on how CO could be adapted to clinical therapies. To examine these relationships, we propose the following hypothesis: CO confers cyto- and tissue protection in endotoxemia/sepsis by preserving cellular homeostasis and promoting bacterial clearance through molecular regulation and activation of the autophagic pathway. To address this hypothesis will we examine the following Specific Aims:
Specific Aim 1 : To determine the regulation and function of CO-induced autophagy in mediating the cytoprotective effects of CO in sepsis Specific Aim 2: To determine the mechanism by which CO-induced autophagic pathway mediates cytoprotection in experimental sepsis Specific Aim 3: To perform proof-of-concept studies for biomarker detection and therapeutic efficacy to assist in the planning of Phase 1/Phase IIa trial for therapeutic efficacy of CO in human sepsis

Did you know that Cindy Crawford has her own line of face creams? Did you know that the anti-aging properties are due to the key ingredient, Charentais cantaloupe, a "rare French melon"? Did you know that Cindy Crawford allegedly retains her youthful looks through Botox, collagen and vitamin injections? Do you even remember who Cindy Crawford is?
I had forgotten Crawford existed at all until a co-worker told me she had tried a free sample of Crawford's Meaningful Beauty Anti-Aging Night Crème and liked it, but couldn't bear to look at the name on the label. "I have to turn it around so I don't see her name on it. It's just too embarassing." I can sympathize. There's a difference between celebrity endorsements (say, William Shatner shilling for Priceline) and those stars who actually slap their names on the products (the George Foreman Grill now only $24.99 at Amazon).
Celebrities hawking products, as well as proper-name-branded items, go back a long way - probably since commerce was invented, really. In more recent times, we've grown accustomed to wearing clothes identified only by the designer's name, like Calvin Klein or Coco Chanel, while women's skin care and makeup still relies on brand names like Max Factor and Estée Lauder. The difference between a product bearing the name of Max Factor, a man recognized as a pioneer in cinematic makeup, and one "developed" by Cindy Crawford, a woman famous for a mole on her face, is one of integrity - or perhaps pedigree is a better word.
Max Factor (né Maximilian Faktorowicz) spent years developing makeup for actors in early Hollywood, and soon became an authority on cosmetics. Estée Lauder (née Josephine Esther Mentzer) worked with her uncle, a chemist, selling and marketing face creams until she could launch her own cosmetics company. Elizabeth Arden (née Florence Nightingale Graham) traveled around France, learning about beauty products and techniques in Paris beauty salons. Even Mary Kay Ash (hey! That's her real - married - name!) bought a secret formula which had been developed by a tanner's daughter (it kept hands surprisingly soft). Somehow, Cindy Crawford and her cantaloupe just don't measure up.
But perhaps I'm being unfair. Crawford appears regularly on QVC, hawking her melon cream, but somebody must be buying it, just like somebody must be buying all the other products pushed by celebrities, like Ellen DeGeneres (and "celebrities", like Paula Abdul, Marie Osmond, and Anson Williams) in the wee hours of the morning. Someone must share Jessica Simpson's taste in shoes and handbags. And after all, you can buy Yves Saint Laurent makeup from QVC, and that stuff's not cheap crap.
Maybe what bothers me is just the disconnect between the celebrity and the product. Part of the genius of George Foreman Grill was the appropriate and yet amusing, even ironic-in-a-hipster-way, association of a world heavyweight boxing champ and an electric clamshell grill. Foreman could certainly represent healthy eating - it's part of what helped his comeback in 1994 - but no one ever thought he invented the damn thing. He just made an offbeat and very visible spokesperson for a product that actually worked. Likewise, I don't have a problem with DeGeneres' pushing Halo pet food on QVC; she owns half the company, but before that she was well-known for her love of animals and support of organizations like the Humane Society.
Which brings me back to Cindy Crawford, who is no doubt a fine-looking woman without make-up on. But knowing how the modeling biz operates, I just don't believe her when she says her cantaloupe cream will make me look younger. Models rub Preparation H under their eyes to get rid of bags, so I'd trust Kate Moss if she tried to sell me some, but I don't think she's going to appear as their mascot any time soon.
If you'd like to follow this train of thought to its logical conclusion, Cracked.com has thoughtfully compiled a list of the 11 Most Pointless Celebrity Products, which includes such gems as Jeff Foxworthy Beef Jerky, Steven Seagal's Lightning Bolt Energy Drink, Joe Perry's Rock Your World Hot Sauce (wait, what?), and, of course, Billy Beer. Personally, I'm waiting for sleepwear designed by the First Lady: Obama Pajamas!

Despite limited opportunities with the big club and few months spent with other teams, TJ Brennan has been one of the most consistent people in the Leafs organization over the past few years. He's never vented his frustrations about not being called up, he's been a role model in the community, and when he's on the ice, he's shown himself capable of lifting the Toronto Marlies up by several notches.
Even when it seems like he's not having a standout night, he finds a way to surprise you. Tonight was a good example of that.

There is something about three syllable boy names - many have an almost noble or regal sound to them. They can be a mouthful, but often match well with shorter surnames, and most provide built-in nicknames that fit baby boys nicely.

Here are some three-syllable names, many with Biblical roots, interestingly enough, that might be good choices for your new baby boy.

Alexander

Alexander is a classic names that has been very popular among Millennial parents. The name means "defender of the people," and its most famous namesake is surely Alexander the Great, the Macedonian military commander. A regal-sounding name, Alexander has versatility as well, with nicknames like Alex and Xander.

Elijah

Elijah is a very old name that's been revived among parents for about the past ten years or so as a pick for baby boys. It's an ancient Hebrew name meaning, "My God is Yahweh." His backstory is pretty intense, but Elijah does lend itself to the cute nickname Eli, which may be more suitable for his younger namesakes.

Anthony

Meaning "priceless one," Anthony is a perennially popular name with strong roots in Latin and Italian. His nickname Tony is both masculine-sounding name and a poetic-sounding. Although he's widely associated with families of Italian heritage, Anthony has multicultural appeal.

Samuel

Meaning "name of God" in Hebrew, Samuel is an ancient name enjoying a revival. His nickname, Sam, does have a little bit of an old man feel to it, but for younger Samuels, there's always Sammy, a very cute alternative.

Gabriel

The name of the angel who announced the birth of Jesus, Gabriel has religious roots, and has held a spot in the top 25 boys' names for the past decade. With the nickname Gabe, this name is just quirky enough to be a little unusual, while offering an interesting backstory.

Joshua

This name was highly popular in the 1980s and only began to slide a bit in the past five years or so. Another name with Biblical roots, Joshua means "the Lord is my salvation," and most who bear the moniker go by Josh.

Christopher

Another name with tremendous staying power and a Biblical backstory, Christopher remains a fine choice for a baby boy's name. Its roots are in Greek, and St. Christopher is the patron saint of travelers. His nicknames Chris and Topher are cute diminutives of the full name that are both perfect for babies.

Oliver

His sister Olivia has been a top 3 name for several years, but Oliver remains a lower-key option for boys. Olive trees and branches symbolize peace, as does this name. And is there a cuter nickname for a baby boy than Ollie?

Sebastian

This formal-sounding name with Biblican and Shakespearean cred doesn't leave a lot of room for nicknames, but has remained popular among Millennial parents nonetheless.
