15 WWE Wrestlemania Dream Matches Fans Have Always Wanted To See
WWE's Wrestlemania is once again on the horizon, and as is common, there are some planned matches that fans are feeling missed the mark a bit. Fans can't be too disappointed, though, because we're used to the WWE not always listening to the popular opinion. In fact, we've missed out on quite a few Wrestlemania dream matches over the years that many people felt sure would happen.
RELATED: The 15 Most Ridiculous Retro Pro Wrestlers
Now, sometimes the match WWE gives us instead of the popular match is great in its own right, but it does become a bit baffling how often there have been two huge names we've waited years to see clash, only for it to never happen. Whether it's due to WWE writers postponing for too long, being out of touch with the fans, or wrestlers simply getting injured or retiring at inopportune times, we've definitely been deprived of some classics. So as yet another Wrestlemania draws near, we look at 15 WWE Wrestlemania dream matches fans have always wanted to see.
When WWE and WCW were both at their peak in popularity, Steve Austin and Goldberg were arguably the biggest stars for their respective companies. Steve Austin was a foul-mouthed brawler who wasn't afraid to face off with anyone no matter the odds. While Goldberg was equally as fearless due to him having one of the most impressive and dominant win/loss records of any wrestler alive. The crowds would go nuts any time either wrestler appeared on the shows, so seeing the two men face off was one of the biggest matches fans could imagine.
What sounded impossible eventually entered the realm of reality when WCW went out of business, and a lot of their big stars started making their way over to the WWE, including Goldberg. Unfortunately, this blockbuster of a match had all the pieces in place literally just 24 hours too late. Wrestlemania XIX against the Rock was Stone Cold's final match for the company due to an accumulation of nagging injuries. But the very next night after the Pay-Per-View special, Goldberg debuted for the WWE! We all hoped that maybe, just maybe, Steve would have one more match in him to take on Goldberg at Wrestlemania XX. Alas, the closest we got was Austin refereeing Goldberg's abysmal match against Brock Lesnar.
Once the Undertaker's winning streak at Wrestlemania became acknowledged, the WWE wasn't foolish enough to waste any more of his opponents on small names. Every year had to have him facing a major contender to convince fans that this might be the year the streak was broken. One of the few slip ups in that routine was in 2006 when the Undertaker got put into a Wrestlemania match against Mark Henry. Henry is a fine wrestler, but he wasn't even one of the top 10 guys in the company at the time. The match everyone had really been hankering for that year was another fight between the Undertaker and Kurt Angle.
At No Way Out 2006, the Undertaker challenged Kurt Angle for the world championship in a losing effort. But after the match, the Undertaker got in Kurt's face and warned that things weren't over between them. It seemed like an obvious setup for a rematch at Wrestlemania that fans would have loved. Both guys had such a presence about them, they were both great technical wrestlers and they were two of the biggest names at the time. There's no doubt Angle and Undertaker would have been the better Wrestlemania match, but unfortunately, they never shared the biggest stage of them all together.
As hard as it might be to believe, looking back, not only have Shawn Michaels and the Rock never had a Wrestlemania match, but they didn't even get a chance to work together in a major program during their careers. Shawn had to take a multi-year hiatus from the WWE due to a legitimate back injury after he lost to Steve Austin at Wrestlemania, and this was right around the time the Rock was catching fire in the company. And then when Shawn came back for a renaissance period years later, the Rock was on his way out to pursue his acting career. Therefore, these two perfectly missed getting to face off against each other in their careers.
The chemistry the two would have had together is obvious. The Rock is widely acknowledged as perhaps the best talker the company has ever had, so he could have made a rivalry against anyone into a great storyline. And Shawn Michaels is on many a person's list as one of the top in ring performers to ever set foot in the WWE. When you take two of the best in their respective abilities and pair them together, magic is bound to happen. Unfortunately the Heartbreak Kid against the Great One is now just one of the biggest missed rivalries of their era.
Admittedly saying fans always wanted to see this one isn't quite exact since this wasn't even on a lot of people's radar until Nakamura left New Japan Pro Wrestling for the WWE. But once we knew Nakamura was coming, dream opponents for him came in rapidly, and Nakamura himself said a big part of him coming to America was that he had always wanted to wrestle Daniel Bryan. But as misfortune would have it, right as Nakamura was getting ready to come in to the company, Daniel Bryan officially announced his retirement due to the concussions he had sustained over his career.
This was the match fans never knew they wanted until it was on the verge of being a reality, but then it was snatched away as quickly as hype for it began to build. The charisma levels of both wrestlers alone would have sold the match, with Nakamura being a legit superstar in Japan, and Daniel Bryan being one of WWE's most popular performers since the days of Steve Austin. Their in-ring styles would have complemented each other as well since they both have such kick heavy offenses. While Bryan has made no secret about the fact he is still considering competing once his WWE contract expires (despite doctor's advice that he shouldn't), as long as Nakamura is in WWE, this match will never happen.
It seemed like Shawn Michaels just couldn't put on a bad match ever since he returned to the WWE after his back injury. He faced all the company's biggest names and often put on the best match of the night. At Wrestlemania he just put on a classic match year after year with opponents like Kurt Angle, Ric Flair, John Cena, Chris Jericho, and the Undertaker. One of the last big names who HBK had yet to take on was Eddie Guerrero. Word is that match is exactly what was in the works before tragedy ruined those plans.
At just 38 years old, Eddie was found dead in his hotel room during 2005. It was something that shook the WWE and the wrestling world as a whole. Eddie was known as not just a fantastic wrestler, but a great person as well, so his passing deeply affected a lot of people. Obviously, the potential for a match is the least of what people miss about Eddie. When people think about what Eddie would have been doing had he survived, fans know he would have kept on doing what he loved. Eddie no doubt would have been with the WWE for years and likely would have loved the opportunity to wrestle Shawn at Wrestlemania as much as his fans would have loved seeing it.
While wrestlers who come from independent promotions (meaning companies that don't have major TV deals like WWE does) are frequent performers in today's WWE roster, even just a few short years ago that wasn't the case. Both CM Punk and Daniel Bryan were huge names in Ring of Honor, but for the WWE there was a giant question mark if indie wrestlers could translate their popularity to the mainstream wrestling fan. But seeing as how both men have left a legacy of being two of the most popular WWE wrestlers of the last decade, it's safe to say they lived up to their reputation.
ROH fans always would have loved to see Punk and Bryan main event Wrestlemania, but eventually even casual fans couldn't deny their massive popularity. Punk became known as the most outspoken guy in the company, and Bryan was the ultimate underdog. They were both beloved and it seemed inevitable they would get a chance to shine at the WWE's biggest pay-per-view at some point. Had their careers been a bit longer, that may very well have happened, but Punk eventually got fed up with the company and left, while Bryan had to retire not too long after due to concussion-related injuries. The indie stars proved they had it all, but their long careers caught up to them before they could truly reap the benefits of their stardom.
When it was announced this match was happening at SummerSlam 2016, fans were thrilled. Besides one match in Randy's rookie years, these two had never touched. So seeing these two go at it in their prime was one of the few main event level matches left for Brock in WWE. And in the build up to the match, Randy was being built as legitimate competitor for Brock, so many were expecting an unpredictable match. Unfortunately what we got was a mess in more ways than one.
As Brock has done ever since adopting his "suplex city" gimmick, he dominated the majority of the match and left Orton to get very little offense in. It wasn't the back and forth match fans had been hoping for between two main eventers. And the ending, while shocking, was also abrupt and genuinely reckless by the WWE. To make it look like Orton couldn't continue, he was beaten down and bloodied to lead to the match being stopped. The problem was the match's producers legitimately had Brock elbow Randy in the head to cause an actual laceration instead of using fake blood. This led to Orton getting a real life concussion to end a match fans had had high hopes for. We wanted this to be an unpredictable match held at Wrestlemania, but instead, it was a typical Lesnar squash match at an okay SummerSlam.
While people just wish Shawn Michaels would come out of retirement to face any good opponent, many people genuinely believed HBK would put on one more match to face Daniel Bryan. They already had a backstory together since Bryan was legitimately taught how to wrestle by Shawn, so their rivalry could have had a student trying to overthrow the teacher spin on it. Yet obviously HBK wouldn't come back even for this match, and now Bryan is retired due to injury, so there's no chance of this happening now.
The strange thing is the WWE seemed to be planting seeds for the match during the height of Bryan's popularity. Shawn Michaels delivered Sweet Chin Music to Daniel Bryan during a hell in a cell match to cost Bryan the world title. When HBK appeared in the company again to explain why he did it, Bryan attacked Shawn and put him in the Yes Lock. To a wrestling fan this spelled out an obvious build for a match between the two, but nothing more came of this rivalry. Shawn was still fit and capable of performing, but he just couldn't be convinced to go back on his retirement.
Ever since CM Punk delivered his famous pipe bomb promo in 2011, he became the WWE's biggest rebel since the days of Steve Austin. They were both anti-authority figures who cut scathing promos against their opponents and were hugely popular among fans for their fearlessness in telling it like it was. And Austin had always teased that he might have enough gas in the tank for one more match, so what better opponent than the rebel of the present generation against the rebel of the last generation?
There were plenty of hints dropped that the match might actually occur, starting with Punk's 2011 promo featuring him wearing one of Austin's famous shirts. The two would go on to stare each other down backstage during a later show, and even promote one of WWE's games by getting into a heated conversation of who would win in a fantasy match between them. Due to the long-term injuries to Austin's knees as well as his neck, the match was always unlikely. But now even that slim chance has dropped to just about an impossibility thanks to Punk's extremely bitter departure from the WWE several years ago. These days, Punk won't even touch a wrestling ring and has instead been giving it a go in the UFC.
Most people only talk about singles matches for their dream matches, but factions are also huge in the industry. Just look how many stars were elevated thanks to New Japan Pro Wrestling's Bullet Club. But the Bullet Club is in large part inspired by the biggest groups that were around in the '90s, WCW's nWo and WWE's D-Generation X. They were both antiauthority groups with cool merchandise, so obviously they were both hugely popular to kids in the '90s. But with how divided wrestling loyalties were back then, there was always the question of which group was better.
By the time nWo arrived in WWE, they were past their prime and the group was plagued with injuries that kept them from resembling anything close to their WCW days. Plus DX wouldn't have its reunion for a few more years, so the clash of these groups was not destined to happen. The closest thing we got was both groups heavily interfering when Sting fought Triple H at Wrestlemania, but that wasn't the official match we wanted these groups to have in their prime. An elimination style match between both teams at Wrestlemania around 15 years prior was what would have been awesome. The wars these groups could have had are sadly just the stuff of daydreams now, though.
Now that AJ Styles is finally in the WWE, many people openly call him the greatest performer the company has seen since Shawn Michaels. However, it's not like AJ's skill went unrecognized before then. Even when he was in TNA, AJ was one of the company's top stars thanks to his incredible athletic ability. People always knew he would put on a fantastic match with anybody, so seeing him face Shawn, who frequently stole the show, just seemed like the perfect match.
Years ago, no one seriously expected any huge name from TNA to ever appear in the WWE, but the past couple years really kicked down the doors thanks to guys like Samoa Joe showing up. And then AJ showed up and fans couldn't wait to see him face all the top names. But everyone knew his closest equal had retired years ago, and fans were hoping that if anyone could get Shawn to come back for one more match, that it'd be AJ. Unfortunately, this is just another match where the key people were late to the boat, and Shawn is adamant about not wanting to be a guy who keeps coming back for one last match. Therefore AJ and Shawn will remain two of the greatest to have never wrestled each other.
This is another match that seemed like it was right on the cusp of happening only for the rug to get pulled out from underneath. When Hulk Hogan returned to the WWE after an absence of many years, he returned as part of the nWo in his Hollywood Hogan persona. He was immediately hugely popular again and it was an obvious deduction that he would be facing either Steve Austin or the Rock at the upcoming Wrestlemania X8. Both guys had rivalries with the nWo at the time, so it was a toss-up as to who would face the leader of the group.
We can't take anything away from the Rock vs Hogan being the match they went with since that fight was one of the best Wrestlemania matches there is. Austin getting a Wrestlemania match against Scott Hall instead didn't seem right at all. Austin vs Hogan would have been the biggest match of the present era vs the biggest star of the previous era. Unfortunately even if Austin had gotten the match, we'd probably just be left a bit sad that the match with the Rock hadn't happened. Wrestlemania X8 was really just an impossible situation where one or the other of WWE's biggest wrestlers would have to be left out in the cold.
While Bret Hart was never the most captivating guy when talking on a microphone, there's no denying he was one of the best technical wrestlers that the business has ever seen. Bret could make just about any opponent look great because he had such a thorough knowledge of holds and submissions that watching him take a match to the ground could go a thousand different ways. Nowadays most wrestlers just slap on a chin lock that sends the crowd to looking at their phones. If Bret could be in his prime again and have just one more match, who better for him to face than Olympic gold medalist Kurt Angle?
Admittedly Angle outclasses Bret in terms of promos by a wide margin, so he would probably have to carry that aspect of the feud, but in the ring, you have to imagine they would have been stellar together. The technical abilities of both guys are astounding, so even watching them mat wrestle would have been a treat. And since they both utilize leg submissions, it would have been great to watch them mirror the other's strategy as they each knew the perfect counter for every move. If this match had ever happened at all it would have been incredible, but at Wrestlemania, this likely would have been looked upon as one of the best matches in the company's history.
Just like Austin and Goldberg were the two biggest stars from rival promotions in the '90s, Ric Flair and Hulk Hogan were the biggest names from the '80s. Critics can say whatever they want about Hogan's in-ring ability, but there's no denying that he and Flair dripped with charisma that most wrestlers today could only dream of having. Seeing the two of them battle at Wrestlemania just made sense. Then Flair actually made his way into what was then the WWF, so all signs pointed to this dream match being on the schedule.
Flair was the world champion heading into Wrestlemania VIII, so him facing off with Hogan seemed like the obvious choice. To the bafflement of many, Flair was paired off to face Randy Savage, while Hogan got a match with Sid Justice. There's no dispute that Flair and Hogan was originally the planned match, but there are lots of different stories for why it didn't happen. The two would face off on smaller WWF shows, in WCW, and even competed against each other long past their prime in the WWE as well as in TNA, but fans will always look back and wonder why the two weren't given their chance to shine at Wrestlemania.
There's really no other recent match on this list that came so tantalizingly close to happening only for fans everywhere to get denied. Sting was the last big WCW star who had never worked for WWE, but with his age catching up to him, he finally made the jump after so many years and left TNA behind for WWE. It seemed like a guarantee that we were at long last going to get this dream match. Fans were puzzled when Sting was put into a feud with Triple H for Wrestlemania who, while a great wrestler, was not who anyone had been asking to see.
It turned out losing to Triple H would be Sting's only Wrestlemania match since after one more pay-per-view match against Seth Rollins for the world title, Sting got injured and was diagnosed with a career-ending condition of spinal stenosis. The gist of that diagnosis meant Sting had to call it quits or he could risk loss of function in his body, so there was officially no chance of him wrestling safely again. Sting openly admitted a major reason he came to the WWE was to fight the Undertaker and finally have the showdown of WCW's greatest anti-hero against WWE's dead man. Now fans are just a bit bitter that Sting's only Wrestlemania was devoted to a match nobody had been clamoring for.

THE launch of the National Wild Dog Action program in July brought hope to producers struggling with the psychological and financial impacts of wild dog predation, but a collective approach is needed for real success according to project managers.
Visit your regional Targeting Wild Dogs page: NSW: www.theland.com.au/wild_dogs WA: www.farmweekly.com.au/wild_dogs VIC: www.stockandland.com.au/wild_dogs SA: www.stockjournal.com.au/wild_dogs QLD: www.queenslandcountrylife.com.au/wild_dogs NQ: www.northqueenslandregister.com.au/wild_dogs
Control measures are only half the battle – recording and collating the data needed to effectively target the growing problem is a huge task. And that's where we come in. In conjunction with the Invasive Animals Co-operative Research Centre (IA CRC), FarmOnline is launching an interactive campaign – Targeting Wild Dogs – so we can help take the fight to the front line.
Each week we'll bring you updates from the field and help teach you how to use the resources developed by the IA CRC. But more importantly, we need more scouts to help improve eradication efforts by logging in to WildDogScan and reporting dog activity.
How you can help
Keep track of the Targeting Wild Dogs project online - click the 'feature' button shortcut on our home page or add /wild_dogs to your masthead url (see list above) Register at www.feralscan.org.au to report wild dog evidence, sightings or damage Send us your stories, feedback and ideas to boost the resource bank: email FarmOnline
WildDogScan gives producers the tools to take control of their own data collection and management programs, national wild dog facilitator Greg Mifsud said.
"It's important to be involved in the reporting of dog sightings and incidents so people can become aware and local management programs can be targeted and more effective."
With wild dogs incursions reported in southern areas where they've been absent for 100 years, producers losing up to 1000 sheep annually and the potential of a 'wild dog wave' to sweep across the country this year, the call to action has never been more urgent. It's time we all pitched in to put the bite on wild dogs.

Our home water is the Little Red River below Greers Ferry Lake in Heber Springs, Arkansas.
The Little Red River is a year-round, world-class, tailwater fishery that flows for approximately 82 miles before it meets the White River in east central Arkansas. The constant 50 degree cold water from Greers Ferry Lake provides approximately 45 miles of some of the most productive trout water in the United States. The Arkansas Game and Fish Commission estimates 8,000 trout per mile; many of which are supplied by a year round stocking program by the AGFC of Rainbow Trout throughout the Little Red River.
There is some natural reproduction of Rainbow Trout in the Little Red River, so trophy Rainbow Trout are not a surprise! The coldest upper reaches of the Little Red River are also home to Brook Trout, and the Arkansas Game and Fish Commission's Collins Creek project is a program designed to enhance the reproduction of Brook Trout in the Little Red River.
German Brown Trout are certainly the crown jewel of the Little Red River. Mr. H. "Rip" Collins, for whom Collins Creek is named, caught a World Record German Brown Trout weighing 40 pounds and 4 ounces on the Little Red River in 1992! That fish was the third World Record German Brown Trout caught in Arkansas trout waters, and the record stood until 2009 when a 41-pound, 7.25-ounce Brown Trout as caught on the Manistee River in Michigan.
There are no Brown Trout stocked in the Little Red River. All the German Brown Trout are entirely wild and the population is self-sustaining. Is there another World Record Brown Trout in the Little Red River? Many fly fishermen of the river believe there is, and a few claim to have actually seen such trophies! To find out for yourself, book a trip with Empty Creel Fly Fishing Guides and Outfitter, and we will help to get your fly in the water.
The beautiful State of Arkansas, referred to as The Natural State, provides so many opportunities for the fly fisher. We also do regular trips to the world famous White River and the Norfork River, both of which are only a short drive north of The Little Red River.
Greers Ferry Lake is a wonderful fly fishery for Kentucky Bass, Black Bass, Smallmouth Bass and White Bass, as well as World Record Hybrids and Walleye! We can even do lake and river fly fishing trips within the same day.
We do a lot of Smallmouth Bass fishing. Pound-for-pound these may be the most exciting fresh water fish on fly. The Kings River, the Buffalo River and the world renowned Crooked Creek offer true trophy Smallmouth Bass, while at the same time floating some of the most beautiful and pristine streams in the country. You are not likely to see another angler all day long!
If you love the outdoors and are looking for something truly different, there are still other small streams in the area that offer remote hiking and floating trips for Smallmouth Bass, as well as Perch and a variety of Sunfish. We access these streams by hiking or utilizing one- or two-man pontoon boats that make for a comfortable, safe and productive "catch and release" float trip.
Remember, Life Is Good On The Fly!


text: Again, you are ignoring Superman's commercial appeal and success in comic books and merchandise in the 1950s. There was no Batmania in the '50s. Batman never outsold Superman in the '50s. And you obviously misunderstood what I meant by Batman's success in the '60s. Sorry I didn't clarify in more detail originally what I meant, but I didn't think I had to be so anal-retentively specific. 1966 and 1967 do make up two years in the decade of the '60s, which Batman comic books did outsell Superman. Again, I didn't say, nor was I intending to claim, that Batman constantly outsold Superman throughout the decade of the '60s.

PS: Depeche Mode - Sounds Of The Universe (Mute/Capitol/Virgin)
Groundbreaking, chart-topping electronic legends Depeche Mode return on April 21, 2009 with their most dazzling and diverse album in decades. Sounds Of The Universe finds Martin Gore, Dave Gahan and Andy "Fletch" Fletcher back at the top of their game after almost 30 years together. Eclectic and energised, they sound like a band reborn.
With global sales in excess of 100 million, including Number One albums and dozens of classic singles, Depeche Mode belong to a select premier league of supergroups - alongside U2, REM and Metallica - who have survived from the early 1980s with their ideals, their creative vision and their core members intact. They overcame internal friction and critical hostility to become one of the most influential bands of the post-punk era, name checked by everyone from The Killers to Coldplay and Marilyn Manson.
Sounds Of The Universe is Depeche Mode's latest forward-thinking masterpiece, a Violator for the 21st century. Lyrically, it contains many of the band's enduring obsessions - lust, spirituality, romantic yearning, sinful temptation and sadomasochism - plus more overt black humour than any of their previous albums.
Musically, Sounds Of The Universe will please fans of every age and taste. From Dave's overlord chant on the mighty first single, "Wrong" to Martin's velvet-lined Scott Walker croon on the sensual lounge-music ballad "Jezebel", and from the sci-fi gospel-blues hymn "In Chains" to the sleazy electronic glam-rock stomp "Corrupt", this is a classic Depeche Mode album.
As they approach their 30th anniversary, Depeche Mode are on a personal and musical high. Old tensions have been resolved, hatchets buried and bad habits conquered. Recorded in Santa Barbara and New York, Sounds Of The Universe was born from positive creative chemistry, and it really shows.
"It's a tremendous record, just to blow our own trumpet," laughs Dave. "We've had the luxury this time of recording a lot more songs than we really need, all of which have been of great quality."
"All of us have had a really good time being together," says Martin. "The overall atmosphere in the studio has been fantastic. Very few issues. We were very focused."
"The overriding thrust of the album is the number of high quality songs," Andy agrees. "Martin's been writing really prolifically, to a high standard. We've recorded about 20 songs, which is pretty good for Depeche Mode. We're even doing a deluxe version of the album with about 17 or 18 tracks, including old demos from current and previous albums."
The album title, Sounds Of The Universe has various meanings, from its spiritual subtext to its retro-futuristic arrangements. "We've used a lot of old analogue synthesizers and drum machines, which conjure up image of the universe and space travel somehow," Martin explains. "We've gone back to a lot of old vintage gear, without making the album sound too retro. It's like yesterday's future. That's why for me it's a perfect album title."
Sounds Of The Universe marks a reunion between Depeche Mode and Ben Hillier, who previously produced their 2005 album Playing The Angel. A gifted all-rounder who has worked with full orchestras and rock bands, Hillier gave the album a timeless sound palette blending vintage bleeps and beats with contemporary electronic textures.
"We all felt it would be stupid not to work with Ben again," says Martin. "He's just one of those people who puts his mind to something and becomes instantly professional at it. He's also quite forceful. That's important for us, at this stage of our career, to have someone willing to stick their neck out and disagree with us."
Like Playing The Angel, Sounds Of The Universe features writing credits for both Martin and Dave. After honing his talents on two solo albums, Dave has earned his place as Depeche Mode's second songwriter. "The fact that Dave has started writing songs has done a lot of good for the band because his confidence is much higher now," says Andy. "He feels a lot more attached to the band because of that."
In fact, Sounds Of The Universe is the closest collaboration yet between Depeche Mode's two main songwriters. Martin and Dave share vocals on several songs and they have even co-written one track on this record. It felt like "a true partnership", says Dave. "I think in a blind test people would find it difficult to tell who wrote which songs," adds Martin.
The first single from the album, "Wrong" grabs the listener's attention from its first stack-heeled, staccato shriek. Over stomping beats and screeching synthesizers, Dave hammers out Martin's darkly comic reflections on a lifetime of mistakes, misdeeds and bad decisions. Instantly addictive, "Wrong" clearly has a guaranteed future as a sky-punching stadium anthem. It already feels like a Depeche Mode classic.
"We decided at a fairly early stage that we wanted "Wrong" to be the first single, because it's quite different to anything we've released before," says Martin. "I don't know quite what category to put it in musically, but it's got a kind of rap feel to it. It's probably as close to R&B as we're ever going to sound."
For Martin, another album highlight is "Peace", with its sublime techno-gospel arrangement and cascading choral refrain. It was written back to back with "Little Soul", a seductive whirl of warped fairground pop, which became a kind of nocturnal sister song to "Peace".
"Both those songs had a spiritual element to them, and to me that formed a sort of cornerstone to the album," Martin explains. "We've had spiritual references on previous records, but I think with this one it's a little more obvious."
Dave's contributions to Sounds Of The Universe were written with his regular composing partners, Andrew Philpott and Christian Eigner, Depeche Mode's live drummer. One of their stand-out collaborations is "Come Back", the dirtiest and rowdiest rocker on the album.
"I wanted to take it away from being a straight ballad," says Dave, "with a feel beneath it that was kind of "My Bloody Valentine" or "Jesus and Mary Chain". A big lush sound with this droning wall of noise underneath. Martin did some fantastic backing vocals for that."
Another of the singer's dirty confessionals, "Hole To Feed" marries modern electronics to a floor-shaking, bone-rattling Bo Diddley beat. The lyric, a blend of rock-star swagger and tender yearning, is vintage Dave Gahan.
"Lyrically, I'm just being my usual cynical self," Dave laughs. "I'm the man who has everything but I'm still just poking around in that little hole that feels empty, wondering what I can fill it with."
In keeping with tradition, Anton Corbijn again provides the striking sleeve design and band photos for Sounds Of The Universe. Now an acclaimed film director with his Joy Division biopic Control, the "Dutch Master" has been Depeche Mode's chief visual consultant for over 20 years.
"It was difficult to get him this time," Andy laughs. "Now he's won all these awards as film director it was very hard to tie him down for an album cover. But yes, Anton's still involved, he's very important to Depeche Mode."
The band is set to go on a mammoth global jaunt opening on May 10 with 28 stadium concerts across the Middle East and Europe. Further legs of the tour will include the US and throughout South America. "We played Mexico on the last tour and it was amazingly successful," Martin recalls. "We did two nights in Mexico City to 50,000 people each night. Knowing how popular we are out there, we're expecting a similar reaction this time - we all felt we neglected South America on the last tour, so we decided to put that right."
For a band with such a long and successful history, selecting the set list for the tour is a major task. Around 230 possible Depeche Mode classics need to be honed into a 20-song concert. "Every time we tour now the set list becomes a real nightmare," says Andy. "Because we're a democracy, it's like the Eurovision Song Contest, voting individually for each song. But it's not such a bad problem to have."
Public response to the Tour of the Universe has been phenomenal, with many European stadium shows selling out almost immediately. "The touring thing is where it all makes sense for me," nods Dave. "Once the fans are there, there's always that feeling underneath Depeche Mode's music of wanting to be part of something, and there are a lot of people out there who feel the same."
Ultimately, all three members of Depeche Mode pay tribute to the loyal army of fans who have supported them for almost 30 years. Their devotion is what makes forward-thinking albums like Sounds Of The Universe possible, and their excitement is what makes Depeche Mode tours such electrifying spectacles.
"We've been blessed over the years by our audience," says Martin. "We have the craziest, most loyal fans of any band I know. People who think Depeche Mode are doomy should just come and see one of our concerts and see how the audience react. The shows are just an amazing high, everybody's there to have a good time."
In 2009, Depeche Mode are unstoppable. Get ready for the album of the year from the biggest, brightest, best band in the Universe.

Four brave Treasure Islanders who've spoken out about the radiation and other toxins sickening residents have learned they face swift retaliation engineered by the powers-that-be. Mitchell Herrington lived on Treasure Island from 1999 to 2013, when he was harassed off the island by eviction. During his tenancy, Mitchell lived with a roommate who worked for Shaw Environmental. The fact that this Shaw employee had to be protected by a hooded hazmat suit suggested the serious danger of contamination present in his cleanup zone work.
July 25, 2016
The truth about the radiation and chemicals that poison Treasure Island has been deliberately hidden from view since 1941, when the Navy began using the island as a trash dump. To conceal the extent of the toxicity and the poisoning of many sailors and civilians, recent plans to redevelop the island have required powerful players to shroud activities there in an even thicker fog than the mist that daily crawls under the Golden Gate Bridge.
May 18, 2016
We read with amazement Matier and Ross' announcement in the Sunday, May 15, Chronicle that San Francisco Mayor Ed Lee is "in talks with George Lucas" about "housing his collection of illustrative art and Hollywood memorabilia" on "a site already approved for redevelopment on Treasure Island." The genius who conceived the "Star Wars" saga must not yet know that the place is thoroughly saturated with weapons grade chemicals and radioisotopes with half-lives of never, like plutonium and cesium 137, and that the Navy is not doing a bang-up job of digging the poisonous stuff out.
July 24, 2015
On May 29, 2015, on the Golden Gate Bridge side of Treasure Island, smelly brown chocolate ooze began to gush from the Lundgren family's 1201-B Bayside Drive faucets. The other side of the island had just trembled. Between the Job Corps grounds and the San Francisco Bay Bridge, Lennar Corp. engineers had penetrated 50 feet of soil with huge vibrating bores.
September 21, 2014
Common wisdom holds that Island authorities have simply abandoned the buildings and infrastructure to crumble until they are razed during the redevelopment build-out phase, which will not start until 2015 and could last over a decade. In the process, they seem also to have abandoned the low-income people they enticed to the island, who are providing rent and securing the infrastructure until the island can be rebuilt for rich condo owners.
August 17, 2014
Generations of Treasure Island residents are living with radiation from the Navy ships exposed to the atomic bomb tests at Bikini in the South Pacific, which were brought to San Francisco to see if they could be cleaned. Though the Navy has the data, it never conducted longitudinal studies of adults and children it impacted with radioactivity. Help the people of Treasure Island win justice at the RAB meeting Tuesday, Aug. 19, 7-9 p.m., Casa de la Vista, 191 Avenue of the Palms, Treasure Island.
July 30, 2014
After working vigilantly to protect her kids from asbestos by moving out of an asbestos-filled home in Bayview Hunters Point onto Treasure Island, Sandy Agee found she had literally jumped from the frying pan into the fire. At this writing, Sandy and two of her children are exhibiting worrisome physical symptoms they developed only after moving to the island. Sandy's blood tests came back positive for "thyroid problems."
July 2, 2014
Gentile, soft-spoken Sandy Agee represents a group of African-American Bayview Hunters Point residents who thought they escaped radiation and chemicals that the Navy dumped at the Hunters Point Naval Shipyard, turning it into one of the nation's most radioactive EPA Superfund sites. They discovered the Navy also carpeted their refuge, Treasure Island in San Francisco Bay.
June 9, 2014
Whistleblowers at the Hunters Point Shipyard told a reporter, "I wouldn't feel comfortable living there having a yard where I could grow a garden. Absolutely not." "I wouldn't go there, I wouldn't take my grandchildren there, I wouldn't walk my dog there." A Treasure Island whistleblower said, "My job is to protect people and the environment, and it's just not getting done."
June 8, 2014
Like all residents on Treasure Island, a man-made landform drenched in water, heat and humidity, wherever Damian Ochoa moves in John Stewart's market rate "Villages," mold spores float stealthily in the air behind him. Three years ago these spores "mushroomed" into spotty patches in his immaculate home. But Damian is winning. He shows ways that renters can get what they want from a realtor or manager.
April 26, 2014
The City of San Francisco appears to be launching a discriminatory retaliatory eviction targeting its Treasure Island toxin whistleblower, Kathryn Lundgren, and her family. Lundgren, mother of three teens, has repeatedly sounded the alarm outing the City and the Navy for collusion in neglecting to warn her and her unsuspecting neighbors that Treasure Island is a radioactive dumpsite saturated with chemicals, toxic mold, asbestos and lead.
April 9, 2014
Art student Maria Johnson, searching for Treasure Island friends, wandered in "cordoned off areas" to find bus stops.
She "saw many buildings with asbestos hazards laden on them, graffiti made with spray paint and shattered, old windows. It looked very desolate. I am just shocked that we're allowed to access this 'normal' location even though the island is basically contaminated beyond repair."
April 9, 2014
Situated at Treasure Island's northwest corner on Site 12, Halyburton Court consists of a small cluster of vacant 24-unit apartment buildings that, from the 1970s to 1996, housed military families. Considering all possible contamination sources, it is noteworthy that from 1957 to 1969, before Halyburton Court was built, the Navy operated a radiological training school just south along the perimeter facing San Francisco.
April 9, 2014
Think of Treasure Island as an iridescent green glowing ghost ship whose prow divides the blue waves as it navigates San Francisco Bay waters gliding northwest under the Golden Gate Bridge. On the tidy front lawn of your market rate or low income Site 12 rental brought to you courtesy of The John Stewart Co., it is as if you are standing at the bow of the radioactive vessel as it carries its toxic contents ever forward into a stunning red-gold sunset.
March 4, 2014
Since the early '90s, the Navy has been locating and "remediating" radioactive hot spots from Treasure Island. But it wasn't until two weeks ago, Feb. 12, 2014, that Kathryn Lundgren learned of the presence of a toxic former burn pit buried next to her home. It was never revealed by Navy officials in any monthly Restoration Advisory Board (RAB) meeting.
March 4, 2014
Before beginning construction on Treasure Island's massive high rise project, the Navy is committed to "restoration." It must test the soil to locate "hot" or "radioactive spots" and what it terms "hot commodities." "Hot commodities" are radioactive objects the Navy left behind during World War II that rendered the surrounding soil radioactive and dangerous to life.
March 4, 2014
One Treasure Island resident suspects that her mother's mysterious death, her children's strange maladies and her husband's cardiac event are attributable to at least 14 radioactive elements, a minimum of 26 chemical contaminants and other pollutants deposited in soil after 1941, when the Navy commandeered the island during World War II.
March 4, 2014
Due to San Francisco's housing crunch, Treasure Island became a repository for low-income families and people at risk of homelessness. Consequently, the Navy's ad nauseam public reassurances to largely poor and people of color at Treasure Island that no dangerous levels of radioactivity now exist imparts a suspicious race and class taint to its minimizations and denials.

...we...hope that people will remember why this is a holiday and what we celebrate and honor: that our nation was born, and that today we can still have pride in our nation.
Atlanta, GA (PRWEB) May 27, 2015
It's a birthday like no other and The Flag Company, Inc. is ready to help America celebrate its 239 years this Fourth of July holiday with a full range of American flags and patriotic decorations from its Flagco website, with items perfect for any activity that day, from hometown parades, to house decorations and block parties, to civic group buffets.

Kia and Tarrick visited the Dominican Republic in November from New York. They came for a small wedding in Bavaro beach with close friends and family, so our job started at the beauty salon around 2PM. We wanted some photos for Kia while getting her make up and hair done. Then we went to the groom´s room.
Tarrick wanted to be on his own before the ceremony, he was even ironing his clothes for himself. That´s a man that can do everything. Watch and shoes were very important to him, so we took detail pictures and we walked to Kia´s room, just right next door. Kia was with her mum and sister, who helped her putting the dress on and with the final touches.
She looked relaxed and confident, and enjoying the moment. That´s what we absolutely recommend, for the bride health, and because that ´s awesome for us and gives us many beautiful portraits and smiles full of love. The ceremony was very emotive, both had prepared some lines and read it meaning every word, and even some tears popped by.
The rest of the wedding was great, a dinner with close friends and family and a bit of dancing by the beach. Not bad at all!

Appeal from the Circuit Court of Cook County; the Hon. Herman
Knell, Judge, presiding.
Rehearing denied April 11, 1985.
In consolidated appeals from certain orders entered in an action for dissolution of marriage, petitioner contends that (1) the apportionment of the marital assets was inequitable; (2) the amount awarded her for child support was inadequate; and (3) the supplemental order requiring her to pay the fees of respondent's attorneys for this appeal was improper. Respondent cross-appeals from that portion of the order allocating the marital assets, also contending that the distribution was inequitable.
Judgment for dissolution was entered on July 8, 1983. No issues pertaining to those portions of the order dissolving the marriage and awarding custody of the minor child to petitioner are raised in this appeal. Testimony and evidence presented at hearings on the remaining issues established that the parties were married in 1970 and have one child Holly born in 1975. Petitioner, 38 years of age at the time of trial, has a bachelor's degree in business and worked in the commercial banking field for 2 1/2 years prior to the marriage; but, except for volunteer work which she discontinued when Holly was born, she was not employed during the 12-year marriage. At the age of 25, she received the corpus of a trust established by her grandfather which consisted of more than 5,600 shares of AT&T stock, and upon the death of her mother, in 1977, she inherited approximately $500,000, of which $120,000 was placed in a trust for Holly. She had also acquired various items of furniture, jewelry, furs and silver before the marriage. Respondent, also 38 years of age, has a master's degree in civil engineering and has worked for a firm as a consultant in that field for more than 15 years, earning approximately $46,000 in salary and a $7,500 bonus annually at the time of dissolution. Prior to the marriage, respondent had about $5,000 in savings, some furniture, and jewelry.
In 1971, the parties purchased the marital home for $80,000 with a down payment of $35,000 apparently obtained primarily from the sale of some securities and a $45,000 mortgage. Several years later, they contracted for the construction of an addition to the home which ultimately cost over $200,000, payment therefor being made with dividends from certain of petitioner's securities and a $140,000 bank loan, $110,000 of which remained outstanding at the time of judgment. Throughout their marriage, both parties deposited their incomes into joint accounts, petitioner's income approximating 60% and respondent's 40% of the total contributions thereto. Household and family expenses were paid from those accounts and, on occasion, monies were withdrawn to purchase securities, both jointly and in their individual names. On July 8, 1983, the trial court entered its written order containing the following valuation and distribution of property:
Non-marital Property Petitioner Respondent
Negotiable securities $1,111,695 Jewelry 40,000 Silverplate 10,000 Furniture 10,000 Furs 2,000 __________ __________ Total $1,173,695 -0-
Marital Property
Marital residence $275,000 *fn1 -0- Negotiable securities 52,200 $49,400 Furniture 73,660 8,154 Cash -0- 100,600 1979 Volkswagen 4,000 -0- 1981 Cutlass -0- 6,000 *fn2 __________ __________ Total $404,860 $164,154
Indebtedness on marital home $153,000 Cash to be paid to respondent 100,600 *fn3 ____________ __________ Total $253,600 -0- Net award $151,260 $164,154
In addition, the court ordered respondent to pay petitioner $350 per month for Holly's support and each party to pay his or her own attorney fees and costs. On August 4, 1983, petitioner filed a notice of appeal, and on August 17, 1983, respondent filed a notice of cross-appeal. Thereafter, respondent moved for and was granted attorney fees to defend petitioner's appeal, from which order petitioner takes the second appeal consolidated herein.
Petitioner first contends that the trial court abused its discretion in apportioning the marital assets because it failed either to consider or give sufficient weight to her contributions to the acquisition and preservation of the marital estate.
• 1 It is well settled that the Illinois Marriage and Dissolution of Marriage Act (the Act) (Ill. Rev. Stat. 1983, ch. 40, par. 501 et seq.) requires the trial court to divide the marital property in "just proportions," taking into account all relevant factors (In re Marriage of Aschwanden (1980), 82 Ill.2d 31, 411 N.E.2d 238), including those enumerated ...

I want to be a teacher
Why become a chemistry teacher?
Teaching chemistry is an exciting, challenging and hugely rewarding career. There is no "typical" chemistry teacher – recent graduates as well as career changers from across the chemical sciences all make excellent teachers. All teachers should be passionate about their subject, and want to inspire the next generation of scientists. There are plenty of benefits to becoming a teacher, such as:
- The chance to make a real difference to children and young people;
- a competitive starting salary;
- opportunities for progression into a wide range of management roles, such as managing a year group, subject or key stage.
As well as teaching a range of age groups and abilities, a career in teaching will involve planning lessons, marking students' work and assessments, and providing pastoral care.
"The youth of today are not just the future but our future and they need a good solid science education. Even if the students do not pursue a science career, it is vital that they have a good science education because it teaches them to think with an open mind." Lyndsey Vernon, trainee chemistry teacher and Royal Society of Chemistry Scholar.

Work experience in schools
The best way to decide if teaching is for you is to gain some experience in a school. Observing lessons will help you gain a better understanding of what teaching is like today and develop your own ideas about education. It will also make your teacher training application much stronger.
Organise to shadow a teacher that you know, or get in touch with schools in your local area. It's helpful to visit more than one school, to gain experience in different teaching environments. In England, you can gain classroom experience by applying for the School Experience Programme.
If you want to become a chemistry teacher, it is best to study an undergraduate degree containing at least 50% chemistry. As well as chemistry, other relevant courses could be biochemistry, chemical engineering or forensic science. Different teacher training courses will have different entry requirements - you can find about more about the different routes into teacher training here.

Suzhou Plant Manufacturer Electronics for 4th-Gen Fighter Jets
China's J-20 stealth fighter could break the monopoly of Western countries on fourth-generation fighters, perhaps even exerting a bigger influence than the American F-22 Raptor, according to Chinese military expert Li Li in a CCTV interview.
Source: Western monopoly might break with China's J-20 stealth fighters: Military expert
Li said that although the F-22 Raptor is the first fourth-generation fighter commissioned in an air force, its performance is not satisfactory. Because the J-20 and Russia's T-50 are set to break the Western monopoly, Li argued, the J-20 could have a more significant influence than its Western counterparts.
According to information from an electronics plant in Suzhou, the main screen of J-20 fighters can be controlled and adjusted through voice command. Wang Mingzhi, a Chinese military expert, explained that some advanced fighters have enabled speech recognition, which helps pilots to concentrate on the battlefield. In addition, touch control is available on some certain fighters, simplifying human-computer interaction.

I had a week away in Portugal last week and I took my running stuff but wasn't sure if I could persuade myself to run on holiday. I was up to Week 6 and found the first run easy and was pretty chuffed because I'd read so many other blogs telling me that week 6 was a tough one. Run 2 did not go so well, I managed the first 10 mins really easily and thought for the first time "I'm enjoying this running lark". When it was time for the 2nd run I managed about 2 mins before I had to stop. I walked the rest of the way round it was a shame because I'd got into a running rhythm in the first 10 mins and I just couldn't pick it up again. When I got home on Friday I was planning my Saturday run. I wasn't sure whether to do wk 6 r 2 again or to move on. I moved on and although I found that 25 mins an incredibly long time I did keep going and kept my mantra going "It doesn't matter about speed or duration it's all about keeping going however slow".
This worked and needless to say I felt so pleased with myself after it.
Still not lost any weight though, I'm hoping that the pounds will start to budge with the longer runs!
Wk 7 tomorrow, dare I say that I am looking forward to it!!

"A PERSON carries off the hat. Hats are about emotion. It is all about how it makes you feel." So said world-renowned Irish hat designer Philip Treacy whose creations have adorned the heads of many international celebrities and aristocrats, including members of the British royal family.
And here I am hoping to channel his award-winning flair at a mini masterclass for beginners held at Hotel Stripes Kuala Lumpur recently, conducted by another expert in millinery.
My eyes widen at the sight of a large table covered with dark fabric and festooned with a vibrant and eclectic spread.
Strewn across the length of the table is a myriad of pretty objects ranging from plastic flowers to dyed feathers and pieces of lace — all in a range of hues that would make a parrot jealous. Meanwhile, all eyes are fixed on an elegant bespectacled lady holding court in the centre as she begins explaining the appeal of hats, particularly on visitors during the famous Melbourne Spring Racing Carnival period.
Smiling broadly, she begins: "Probably the best thing about wearing a hat is that it creates an opportunity to start a conversation. So if you start with 'lovely hat' and end up talking about something else, then the hat's done its job. I've had people marry as a result of a comment about the hat, something I'm really proud of!"
Serena Lindeman is a household name in Melbourne when it comes to fashionable headwear creations, a must-have item for race-goers attending one of the city's premier horse races, the Melbourne Cup. Continuing in her gentle Australian cadence, she shares: "One of the things that sets racing fashion apart from everyday fashion is that women generally wear something on their heads and racing fashion is an opportunity for women to put on their finest and to finish off with a hat."
In the first year of starting her business, Lindeman won a millinery award, thanks to a race day fashionista who was wearing one of her hats. Years later, when a competition was introduced for professional milliners, the former art teacher took home the coveted Myer Fashions on the Field Millinery Award at the inaugural event, her proudest achievement so far.
Lindeman's visit to Kuala Lumpur is part of several efforts to highlight the state of Victoria as a holiday destination, with the focus being on its capital, Melbourne.
Springtime is around the corner; a time of year that signals the arrival of glamour and high-fashion fanfare, courtesy of the country's largest fashion event, the Virgin Australia Melbourne Fashion Festival, which launches into action from March 1-18.
But for various reasons, Malaysians generally don't have an affinity with hats in the same way as Melburnians do. Before the mini masterclass, I could not have imagined myself wearing one for any occasion, although trying one in a shop while posing like Audrey Hepburn or Kate Middleton is always the requisite!
With clarity, composure and congeniality, Lindeman continues the masterclass by doing a "show-and-tell", explaining different items from the table, beginning with some palm-sized synthetic discs to which are attached small combs at the back.
"The comb goes into your hair. Bring the comb forward and that anchors it in your hair."
Ohhh, I respond silently.
"This stuff is called crin or crinoline — it's a monofilament. It has a beautiful springy kind of quality."
"Also popular is the veiling because it gives a sense of allure and some cover for your eyes."
"These are turkey feathers. You'll be pleased to know the turkey was going somewhere else and the feathers stayed behind!" jokes Lindeman as she proceeds to trim the sides of a purple feather, creating a beautiful arrow head design.
The demonstration is just a fraction of what millinery entails but it's enough to send my mind into decision-making overdrive, feeling a bit like a contestant on the fashion-based TV show, Project Runway. But I can depend on Lindeman's guidance to make things go smoothly; after all, she has 16 years' worth of experience in teaching millinery under her belt.
She first dabbled in hat-making as a hobby while living in London in the 1990s.
Recalls Lindeman: "I was teaching art but wanted to do something creative for myself so I found some courses at the London College of Fashion, a highly esteemed place to go." She remembers thinking to herself that if she could make one hat and sell it, then she could go on to make two hats and the income would go up each time. "That's pretty much what I did — always keeping one toe in a safer, more regular income."
After graduating, Lindeman found employment with respected London milliner, Edwina Ibbotson, before returning to Melbourne several years later.
The newly-minted milliner opened her own business in 1998 and has been working at her Nicholas Building studio ever since, specialising in custom-made headwear ranging from casual styles for men and women, to fancier designs for racing events.
Her lifestyle today differs markedly from her bucolic childhood on a 2000-acre (809 hectare) farm outside of Melbourne where her parents grew wheat and reared farm animals. The eldest of three siblings reminisces about the time she was around 8.
Smiling, Lindeman shares: "I remember my younger sister and I used to wear little white hats and white dresses, maybe even gloves, dressed by our mother for church. So that was the special day to wear hats. It was traditional in those days."
Little did young Lindeman know back then that she'd be learning the skills once practised by her grandmother. Her eyes light up as she recalls where her artistic genes likely came from.
"My grandmother had made hats before I was born. Many women made their own hats at that time. So often when I meet people, they tell me that their aunty/grandma was a milliner."
She remembers seeing indications of her grandmother's hobby, like an old wooden hat block and suitcases for hats, and knew that she took on other crafts such as weaving, spinning wool and painting china.
Continuing, Lindeman shares: "She had travelled to Europe at the age of 18, which must have been after the First World War because she was born at the turn of the century. If you think about it, young women didn't do such things back then. She was a spirited woman!"
Lindeman herself had also travelled halfway across the world to Europe in the 1990s before going on to pursue her creative ambitions, suggesting that she has much in common with her beloved grandmother.
"Pieu! Pieu! Pieu!" Mock gun shooting sounds emit suddenly from our masterclass instructor who is holding a glue gun in a Charlie's Angels-type pose, prompting chuckles from around the room. She invites us to glue our components to the base when we're ready. I've resisted the call of the many flowers or feathers on the table, keeping my design quite simple, featuring a lone white flower. Her advice still rings in my ears: "If you have too much on, it looks like you need a neck brace to hold your head up. You want to have lightness, line... a balance between the components."
When it comes to inspiration for her own designs, Lindeman shares that "...it's an intersection between lots of different things". It could be a particular material that opens up interesting possibilities but she also enjoys plundering history, confiding: "I love historical fashion and historical millinery. To be honest, there's nothing new under the sun but it's the way it comes together."
With headwear fashion in Malaysia still a long way from garnering a similar level of interest as in Australia, Europe or the USA, could millinery ever be en vogue for Malaysians?
"If I were looking at how to persuade a Malaysian woman to wear headwear, I'd get her to make them and then say what are you going do with that? One of the girls here today said she'd wear this to a wedding. You could also wear a head piece to daytime gatherings, garden parties, that kind of thing. Also evening wear..." Lindeman's words trail off as she springs up to retrieve a red palm frond design that she promptly places on her head like a headband. "If you were to have a beautiful evening gown, you could put that on and your hair is taken care of. It's not much beyond a hair accessory."
Hardly noticeable like wearing earrings, my creation is perched on my head, from the moment I first tried it on. Even throughout the whole interview, I leave it on and funnily enough, I find myself sitting a little more poised, just like a "real" lady. I'm tempted to glide through the hotel lobby wearing it but decide instead to keep it for another occasion. Anyone having a wedding or a garden party soon?

Phase II study of dasatinib in Philadelphia chromosome-negative acute and chronic myeloid diseases, including systemic mastocytosis

PURPOSE: Molecular characterization of Philadelphia chromosome-negative (Ph-) chronic myeloproliferative disorders, such as systemic mastocytosis (SM), has provided a clear rationale for investigating novel targeted therapies. The tyrosine kinase (TK) inhibitor dasatinib is 325-fold more potent against Bcr-Abl TK than imatinib in vitro, significantly inhibiting wild-type KIT and platelet-derived growth factor receptor beta TKs, and is active against cells carrying the mutant KIT-D816V gene.
EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN: In this phase 2, open-label study, the efficacy of dasatinib (140 mg/d) was investigated in 67 patients with various Ph- myeloid disorders, including SM (n = 33; 28 KIT-D816V positive). RESULTS: The overall response rate to dasatinib in patients with SM was 33%. Only two patients, one with SM-myelofibrosis and one with SM-chronic eosinophilic leukemia, achieved complete response (elimination of mastocytosis) lasting for 5 and 16 months, respectively. Both patients were negative for KIT-D816V mutation, had low tryptase levels, abnormal WBC counts, and anemia, and had failed prior therapy with erythropoietin. Additional nine SM patients had symptomatic response, lasting 3 to 18+ months. Complete responses were achieved in two other patients (acute myeloid leukemia and hypereosinophilic syndrome). No responses were observed among patients with myelodysplastic syndromes and primary myelofibrosis. The majority of adverse events were grade 1/2.
CONCLUSION: These data show that dasatinib therapy may benefit a selected group of SM patients, primarily by improving their symptoms, but it does not eliminate the disease in the patients with KIT-D816V mutation.

St. John, the smallest of the United States Virgin Islands, is as different from its neighbor, St. Thomas, as can be. Most of St. John is part of the undeveloped Virgin Islands National Park, land donated to the US by the Rockefeller family in the 1950s. St. John is only accessible by boat from St. Thomas or Virgin Gorda, part of the British Virgin Island chain. The island has little shopping and the nightlife centers around a quiet dinner and the dramatic sunsets.
People come to St. John for the nature beauty, long stretches of uncrowded white sand, and for its superior snorkeling and scuba. If you are looking for a beautiful, outdoor setting for your wedding ceremony, choose a St. John Wedding.
Though uncrowded, St. John does have a few luxury resorts. Chief among these is Caneel Bay, the former property of the Rockefellers. Accommodations at the beachfront resort include suite set right off of the sand as well as Mr. Rockefeller's former manor house. The open-air dining room here serves the finest food on the island.
As with travel to St. Thomas, United States citizens visiting St. John are only required to have a photo ID. No passport or visa is necessary.

Breaking smoking's ferocious grip
0 comments so far
It's a safe bet that virtually everyone in Canada knows smoking is bad for your health. Many years of anti-smoking campaigns, and widespread prevention programs in schools, the workplace and in the community, have driven the message home that smoking is deadly.
In Ontario alone, smokers account for a half million days of acute hospital care annually. Thirty-five Ontarians die each day from tobacco-related illness, tallying 13,000 premature and avoidable deaths each year. Fully one-half of all smokers will die from smoking-related diseases, including cancer, cardiovascular disease and lung disease.
Yet despite the high level of awareness, about one in five Ontarians – 2.1 million people – still smoke. In Hamilton, the percentage is even greater, reflecting the health disparities in our community and the fact that tobacco use is higher among populations with lower income and fewer social support networks.
These stark disparities were highlighted in the Code Red series published The Hamilton Spectator last summer.
The ongoing debate on how society should respond to this devastating health problem is fraught with emotion: frustration among smokers, their families and their doctors, and even anger and blame by many who see smoking as a life-style choice and who resent the high cost to the province's healthcare system — estimated at $6.1 billion annually — and the burden this imposes on every taxpayer.
[This article is a repost from Dr. Tytus' opinion piece in the Hamilton Spectator]
But smoking is not a lifestyle choice. It is one of the most powerful of addictions. In my medical practice, I see patients who struggle with their tobacco habit every day. Most began smoking before the age of 18 and, despite their desperate efforts to quit, will relapse several times throughout their lives. This is precisely why the medical community now considers smoking as an addiction and chronic disease with a pediatric onset, not a lifestyle choice or habit.
So how do we tackle an addiction that stubbornly defies the efforts of government policymakers, healthcare professionals, parents, teachers, concerned family members and smokers themselves to conquer it?
A key step is to place far more emphasis on smoking cessation strategies than has been done in the past. About one million Ontarians tried unsuccessfully to quit in the past year alone. Despite the fact that today's cessation medications — such as nicotine patches and prescription drugs — can more than double the chance of success for someone trying to quit, many low-income Ontarians, and many who live Hamilton, can't afford the cost of medication.
This inequity adds insult to injury. If you live below the poverty line, you are more likely to smoke and less likely to afford the very treatment that could cure you of your addiction.
Based on the numbers, providing cessation medication free of charge by adding it to the provincial drug plan is a smart and socially enlightened policy option. If those one million Ontario smokers who tried to quit last year had actually succeeded, there would be half as many smokers in the province today. Acute care hospital stays among smokers would be cut in half, along with the death rate, the financial impact on our health system, the huge loss in productivity from sick days, and so on.
Adding smoking-cessation medications to the Ontario Drug Benefit Plan would cost the provincial treasury between $7 million and $12 million annually. The savings in terms of saved lives and reduced healthcare costs would be about $21million to $36 million. This conservative estimate is based on the Ontario Medical Association's calculation that, for every dollar spent on smoking cessation, there is almost a three-dollar return.
This represents a substantial net benefit for the Ontario taxpayer and a boon for the provincial economy.
Cessation medication is not a panacea. However, it is an essential element of a comprehensive anti-smoking strategy that includes prevention programs, counselling and support, and tough tobacco control measures.
National Non-Smoking Week is the perfect time to get in touch with your local MPP and tell them that you support free smoking cessation medication.
Let's make this week Ontario's — and Hamilton's — time to quit.
