The Truth in Beauty
by Mindy Pennybacker, with reporting by Molly Rauch and Claire Gutierrez
Not for nothing did our ancestors worship the sun, the source of Earth's fertility and associated revels. What the ancients didn't understand, however, was the link between sun exposure and skin cancer. Whether you celebrate the season on a mountaintop or basking by the swimming hole, it pays to protect your skin. The key: read ingredient lists, and don't be caught napping at the expense of your or your children's health.
Sunscreens and Sunblocks. The skin is an absorptive organ, so it makes sense to use the least toxic products on it. Unfortunately, most sunscreens contain at least some iffy chemicals, including benzophenone, homosalate, and octy-methoxycinnamate, shown in animal tests to disrupt hormones and affect development of the brain and reproductive organs. PABA (para-aminobenzoic acid) has caused allergic reactions, and padimate-O and parsol 1789 (avobenzone) have the potential to damage DNA. At the very least, these chemicals can irritate skin; they can also affect the health of aquatic ecosystems long after washing off.
A healthier choice is blocks that create a barrier against damaging UVA and UVB rays. These include zinc oxide and titanium dioxide, which are "much less likely than [chemical] sunscreens to penetrate human skin," according to biochemist John Knowland of Oxford University. Avoid all of these products on children under six months; instead, keep babies out of direct sun and use protective clothing and hats.
Chapsticks and Skin Creams. Dry skin and lips can tempt us to slather on moisturizers and balms. Are these safe? Not always. In September 2004, the European Union passed a rule banning hundreds of known or probable carcinogens, mutagens, or reproductive toxicants from cosmetics. Yet in the United States, neither cosmetic products nor their ingredients are reviewed or approved by the Food and Drug Administration before being sold.
Until ingredient bans are adopted worldwide, it's best to read labels. Many creams and chapsticks are based on petroleum, a nonrenewable resource; this includes petrolatum, a.k.a. petroleum jelly, which can cause allergic skin reactions and, if ingested excessively, diarrhea. Other problematic ingredients are glycol ethers, such as the common skin irritant propylene glycol, some of which have been linked in lab tests to birth defects and reproductive-system harm. The preservatives methyl-, butyl-, ethyl- and propyl-parabens are skin irritants that have also shown up in breast tumors. And formaldehyde, a probable human carcinogen, is found in such preservatives as bronopol, diazonlidinyl urea, DMDM hydantion, imidazolidinyl urea, and quaternium 15.
Don't be lulled by a product's "fragrance," a catchall term that can conceal the presence of phthalates, plasticizing chemicals that have been linked to cancer and hormone disruption in animals. Following demands by the Breast Cancer Fund and other activists, Revlon, L'Oréal, and Unilever agreed to stop using dibutyl phthalate in their products. Fragrance-free creams are the least allergy-provoking, but if you prefer scents choose items containing plant essential oils such as lavender or rose.
Because babies are rapidly developing and have sensitive skin, they are most vulnerable to irritating ingredients. Happily, there are now many diaper creams based on natural inputs, including Weleda, Terressentials, Martina Gebhardt Naturkosmetik, and Burt's Bees.
Insect Repellents. Mosquito-borne diseases such as malaria and West Nile virus are spreading on the wings of climate change. But eye that label before using a conventional repellent. Most contain DEET (N, N-diethyl-m-toluamide), which should never be used on children under two or applied directly to the face, hands, or damaged skin. DEET can cause blisters, rashes, and eye irritation as well as lethargy, disorientation, and mood swings; in some cases, overapplication has resulted in death. The compound can enter waterways and is listed by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency as "slightly toxic" to birds, fish, and aquatic invertebrates.
A better alternative is to wear protective clothing, avoid tick-prone areas, and stay indoors when mosquitoes are out. Soybean oil and some botanical oils, such as citronella, lemongrass, peppermint, and cedarwood, also repel bugs somewhat. Use the strong stuff (no more than 10 percent DEET) only as a last resort, applying it to clothing and hats, not skin.

In 2005, the United States charged an international shipping company with violating numerous federal pollution laws. As part of the settlement, the courts ordered $2 million in community service payments to be made to NFWF to maintain a sustained granting program called the Oregon Governor's Fund for the Environment.
The program is designed to benefit the state's rivers, streams and near-coastal waters. It provides funds to identify and reduce sources of water pollution, restore fish and wildlife habitat, and improve enforcement of environmental laws to protect and restore Oregon rivers, streams and coastal areas. It also helps to implement conservation measures and makes a significant contribution to protecting and enhancing fish, wildlife and habitat resources in Oregon.
Funding priorities for this program include:
Beginning in 2012, the Fund will be focused to align with the Governor's priority to ensure long term conservation of the state's wild salmon strongholds. Oregon's recognized strongholds include: the Tillamook/Nehalem, Illinois, North Umpqua, Sandy/Clackamas, Lower Deschutes, North Fork John Day, and Lower Grand Ronde (Joseph Creek, Minam River and Wenaha River) watersheds. Information about the methodology behind defining salmon stronghold watersheds can be found in the Oregon Salmon Stronghold Watershed Information document.
Since 2005, the Oregon Governor's Fund for the Environment has awarded more than $2.5 million in grants to 65 projects. These projects have leveraged over $7 million in additional funds and in-kind contributions resulting in $9.6 million on the ground for conservation in Oregon. Grants have provided an array of environmental benefits, restoring Oregon rivers, improving fish passage and municipal water quality systems and developing Salmon-Safe programs for various agricultural industries.

Meet and Eat: Sam Levison, Serious Eats Summer Intern
Name: Sam Levison
Location: New York City / Providence, RI
Occupation: Student at Brown University
Website: ubermenschofpopculture.tumblr.com
Guilty pleasures? Milkshakes. Despite public knowledge that there are few things on this earth more calorically dense or generally unhealthy. A Shake Shack Black and White is probably my favorite, but Mr. Softee works in a pinch. I have an obsession with Bacon, Egg and Cheese sandwiches, too. I often consider having a nice healthy bowl of oatmeal for breakfast, but the sweet smell of a greasy bacon egger quickly destroys that notion. Also disco...lots and lots of disco.
Describe your perfect meal. A large, well-seasoned roasted chicken, some sauteed asparagus, pizza bianca (why not?) and a few friends to join in the feast.
What food won't you eat? Gefilte fish. I am terrified of it.
Favorite food person? I'm gonna have to go with Eric Ripert. I've never eaten at Le Bernardin, but every time I see this guy on TV he really appears to be enjoying himself. Whether he's preparing a dish for some Food Network feature or working the line with Anthony Bourdain, he does it with a smile on his face and noticeable passion. It's inspiring.
When did you first realize you were a serious eater? When I was about six, my mother pointed out to me that it wasn't natural to anticipate every restaurant meal one to two weeks in advance or ask what's for dinner while still eating my lunch. I've retained both habits.
What do your family and friends think of your food obsessions? Apparently food (in some large, abstract sense) is the thing to do these days, so the obsession is not nearly as odd as it was when I was younger. As a child, I heard the phrase "Sam, it's just food" rather often.
Favorite food sites or blogs? Besides Serious Eats, I really enjoy Eater NY and Grub Street.
Everyone has a go-to person they call for restaurant recommendations. Who's yours? My friend John from high school. He's always seeking out fun and new places to eat. If I'm not dining with him, he makes a point to text me a general reaction or dish that he really enjoyed.
What is your favorite meal of the day and where do you get it? I'm a diehard advocate for fourth meal (also known as every college student's frenemy). If the night is young, I try to make it to Sal and Carmine's. If the night is not so young, Super Tacos on 96th Street is my standby. In Providence, I'll usually go for a falafel wrap at East Side Pockets.
Do you ever cook? What's the best dish you make? I cook pretty frequently when I'm home from school, but I don't really have a best dish. A couple weeks ago I made spaghetti with sauteed ramps and grilled chicken that went over pretty well.

Story highlights
- NEW: Defense attorneys tell judge Holmes was taken to hospital, CNN affiliate reports
- Holmes' attorneys say he developed condition rendering him unable to attend hearing
- Judge postpones hearing until December 10
- Holmes is accused of killing 12 people, wounding 58 on July 20 in Aurora, Colorado, theater
A judge has postponed a Thursday hearing for Colorado movie-theater shooting suspect James Holmes after Holmes' attorneys claimed he was unable to attend, citing an unspecified condition they said he developed.
Judge William Sylvester agreed Wednesday to move the motions hearing to December 10, according to Rob McCallum, a Colorado Judicial Department spokesman.
Holmes is accused of killing 12 people and wounding 58 during a midnight screening of the Batman film "The Dark Knight Rises" July 20 at an Aurora cinema.
Holmes' attorneys requested the delay, filing a motion that said because of "developments over the past 24 hours, Mr. Holmes is in a condition that renders him unable to be present in court for tomorrow's hearing."
At a hearing Wednesday to discuss the request, defense attorneys told the judge that Holmes was taken to a hospital but still did not specify his condition, saying his medical or pyschiatric statuses were privileged information, according to CNN affiliate KMGH.
"It's not as simple as a migraine and not as simple as 'will be resolved in the morning,'" defense attorney Tamara Brady said, according to KMGH.
The motion did not specify the condition. No other details about his condition have been released; attorneys and officials in the case are under a gag order.
The shooting unfolded inside a darkened theater packed with Batman fans, some in costume, for the premiere of the movie. Holmes is accused of murder, attempted murder, weapons violations and other charges.

I wrote a couple of python plugins for GIMP.
To use them, you need to have PythonGIMP installed. Installing it is a real pain in the ass, at least on windows, but there's a good tutorial on installing PythonGIMP here: http://www.gimpusers.com/tutorials/inst ... -6-windows
After you have pythongimp installed, here's how you install the plugins: First download the file. The files in the registry are saved as .py.txt files due to a bug, so you need to rename them to .py files, then save them to your plugins folder. There are usually 2 plugin folders, either works, you can see what they are in the gimp preferences. You can also specify another plugin folder there if you want to.
Usually, the plugin folder is: C:\Program Files\GIMP-2.0\lib\gimp\2.0\plug-ins\
Ok, the plugins are these:
http://registry.gimp.org/node/25198 - This one appears in the Filters > Render menu and it automates creating a simple texture, it does it the same way that it is done in the 1st part of my tutorial. You get to adjust all the settings the same way you get to when you do it manually.
http://registry.gimp.org/node/25199 - This creates a bevel in the shape of the current selection. It's a neat tool for adding bevels on land areas, you can select the land area by Alpha to Selection, then use this plugin to add a bevel layer in the shape of the land. The bevel appears on a separate layer, so you get to adjust the opacity/layer mode settings of the bevel later if you need to.
http://www.gimpchat.com/download/file.php?id=2132 - This creates inner and outer glows in the shape of the current selection. It works similarly as the bevel one.
I might be writing more python plugins in the future... if there's any interest in them (and if anyone else is patient enough to go through the hassle of installing PythonGIMP... )

Neovasc Inc. Completes Enrollment in COSIRA Trial Assessing Efficacy of Reducer™ Product for Treatment of Refractory Angina
May 13, 2013, 07:25 ET
-Full Data from COSIRA Trial Expected Around Year's End-
-Initial Data from Reducer Patient Registries To Be Presented at EuroPCR 2013-
TSX Venture Exchange: NVC
VANCOUVER, May 13, 2013 /CNW/ - Neovasc Inc. (TSXV: NVC), today announced the completion of patient enrollment in its COSIRA trial designed to further assess the efficacy and safety of the Neovasc Reducer™, a novel percutaneous device for the treatment of refractory angina. The COSIRA (Coronary Sinus Reducer for Treatment of Refractory Angina) trial is a double-blinded, randomized, sham-controlled multicenter trial intended to demonstrate the efficacy of the Reducer in a controlled population of refractory angina patients. It was conducted in the UK, Europe and Canada.
"COSIRA was designed as a rigorous study to provide definitive evidence of the efficacy of the Reducer in improving the quality of life of patients with refractory angina, and we look forward to sharing six-month follow-up data from the trial in a peer-reviewed forum around year's end," said Shmuel Banai, MD, Chief Medical Officer of Neovasc. "In addition, we are seeing encouraging initial patient data from our Reducer Registries, which we look forward to reporting at EuroPCR next week."
Results of a published, prospective three-year pilot clinical study have demonstrated that the Reducer is safe and effective in providing relief of angina symptoms in refractory angina patients. The Reducer has received a CE mark designation in Europe for the treatment of refractory angina.
Neovasc CEO Alexei Marko noted, "Patient outcome data from our Reducer pilot studies and the Registry patients enrolled to date have been very promising. If the COSIRA results are consistent with past data, we can move forward with commercialization plans for this novel product that has the potential to help alleviate painful and debilitating symptoms in millions of angina patients who currently lack effective treatment options."
The Neovasc Reducer is a percutaneous device designed to treat the millions of patients worldwide who suffer from refractory angina, which occurs when there is an inadequate supply of blood to the heart muscle. Refractory angina currently affects an estimated one million patients in Europe, who often lead severely restricted lives. The incidence of refractory angina is growing, yet treatment options are limited.
About Neovasc Inc.
Neovasc Inc. is a specialty medical device company that develops, manufactures and markets products for the rapidly growing global cardiovascular marketplace. Its products include the Neovasc Reducer™ for the treatment of refractory angina and the Tiara™ transcatheter mitral valve replacement device in development for the treatment of mitral regurgitation.

Giorgio Armani Runway Fall 2012
Giorgio Armani Fall 2012
Giorgio Armani Fall 2012
Giorgio Armani delivered the art of slick suiting and a master class in bold color for Fall 2012. We're not just mesmerized by the double and triple vision stunts Armani pulled on his catwalk — though the sight of two or three models in the same sharp suiting, brilliant fuchsia and orange, and slick fedoras really drives the point home. Still, even without the "special effects," the collection is built up in confidence. Strong shapes and new silhouettes — like a return to longer menswear-style shorts paired with vibrant ladylike jackets and bold color-infused woven knits — result in something all at once androgynous and insanely glam. That's largely due to the fact that these Fall looks are saturated in hot pinks, purples, and orange; the palette is drama-inducing in itself — but add to that the luxuriousness of fur, crystal embellishment, and vibrant abstract print, and the resulting styles start to run into diva territory. There are few people, save for Anna Dello Russo or Lady Gaga, who could pull off a cotton-candy-feeling fur coat — fortunately the collection is also much more wearable than that. Gray suiting adorned with rosettes and finished with oxfords has a snappier feel than the lavishness of his color-saturated fur, and that's the bread and butter here: sportier evening themes and rich color play.
- Trends: Colored fur, slick fedoras, colorblocking, menswear, shorts cropped just above the knee, gloves, textured woven knits, abstract print, and sequins.
- Colors: Red, black, hot pink, orange, purple, and gray.
- Key Piece: The sequined coat has just the right slinky, sexy quality to it; we're taken with Armani's colorblocked hot-pink oxfords.
- Accessories: Cutout gloves, wide-brim fedoras, layered statement necklaces, colored oxford kicks, slick clutches.
- Who Would Wear It: The risk-taker with an eye for sharp silhouettes and statement color; Anna Dello Russo could rock the hot-pink fur — but she may just be about the only one who can.

Consolidation in the Lungs
I had an attack of Tuberculosis (caseating mediastinal lymphadenopathy)in Feb 2001. I took treatment for a year and a CT scan on March 02 showed complete resolution of the disease. Since then, I have been having Upper Respiratory track infections frequently but all X rays have been clear. About a couple of weeks back, I started feeling very lethargic and about a week back I started developing low grade fever (only in the night) which continued for 3 days. There was no weight loss and very less cough. I went to a physician who suggested a X ray. The X ray revealed a fibro infiltrative opacity in the right upper zone and a bulky left helum. However, my physician asked for a CT scan. the CT scan report revealed a Patch of Consolidation in the lung window with underlying fibrosis in the right upper lobe posterior segment. Also, minimal plueral thickening was noted in the pleura liningthe right posterior segment of upper lobe and left apicoposterior segment of upper lobe. There was no evidence of any lymphadenopathy. My physician suspects pneumonia. Could this be a recurrence of TB.
The most important part of assessing whether or not you have recurrent tuberculosis is whether you initially had tuberculosis. There are other diseases besides tuberculosis that cause caseating mediastinal lymphadenopathy, and in the absence of stains or cultures showing the organism, alternative processes must be considered.
The Centers for Disease Control recommend attempting to confirm the diagnosis of tuberculosis prior to instituting therapy. This can be done one of two ways:
1) Laboratory criteria: Isolation of M. tuberculosis from a clinical specimen (i.e. sputum) Or, when a culture has not been or cannot be obtained, demonstration of acid-fast bacilli in a clinical specimen
2) For cases that lack laboratory confirmation, ALL elements of the clinical case definition must be met: a) A positive tuberculin skin test b) Signs and symptoms compatible with tuberculosis, such as abnormal, unstable (worsening or improving) chest radiograph or clinical evidence of disease c) Treatment with two or more antituberculous medications, and d) A completed diagnostic evaluation
The fact that the lymphadenopathy cleared with treatment is reassuring, but not sufficient to make the diagnosis of tuberculosis.
It also would be helpful to know what medications you took for one year. The standard treatment for active tuberculosis is for 4-, 6-, or 9-months depending on the drug regimen. In the case of the 9-month regimen, generally the treatment is Isoniazid and Rifampin for nine months with ethambutol or streptomycin for the first 2 months if INH resistance rate is not documented to be less than 4%.
To document resistance, sputum smear and cultures should be obtained monthly or at least following 2, 4, and 6 months of treatment. While a chest xray is important at the conclusion of therapy it is not as helpful (or as essential) as sputum examination.
In summary, this could be a recurrence of Tb if Tb was never documented to have cleared by sputum exams. However, an alternative diagnosis to Tb must be considered if the appropriate diagnostic criteria were not present prior to initiation of therapy.

Peter Rodger, who believes his son was the lone gunman in a Santa Barbara-area shooting rampage, has not been a major player in Hollywood, yet his work as an assistant director on the first installment of the wildly successful "Hunger Games" series in 2012 brought him a notable credit.
Rodger's job was as a second-unit director, one of five on the film responsible for production away from the principal set. Directed by Gary Ross, "The Hunger Games" tells of a dystopian world where teens fight each other to the death in a televised spectacle. The film, which cost about $80 million to make and grossed nearly $700 million worldwide, was shot in locations throughout North Carolina, according to IMDB.com, an Internet movie database.
Rodger's other noteworthy credit was a 2009 documentary called "Oh My God." The film, which asked people from various backgrounds about what God was to them, cost nearly $1.3 million to make but grossed only about $38,000.
Rodger is currently listed as working as an assistant director on an animated short called "Amazon: Crossroads to Survival."
He is the son of the late George Rodger, a renowned British war photographer who went on to found the Magnum photo agency.

U.S. Equal Employment
Opportunity Commission
Oil and Gas Services Company Failed to Hire Applicant Because of His Religion, Federal Agency Charges
LITTLE ROCK, Ark. – An El Dorado, Ark., limited liability company providing completion and maintenance services to oil and gas companies violated federal law by discriminating against an applicant because of his religion, the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) charged in a lawsuit it filed today.
The EEOC's suit, Civil Action No. 4:10-cv-1419 SWW, filed in U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Arkansas, Western Division, asserts that Premier Well Services, LLC violated Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 when it failed to hire Eugene Keeler because of his religion.
The Commission's lawsuit seeks monetary relief in the form of back pay and compensatory and punitive damages, instatement, and an injunction against future discrimination.
The EEOC filed suit alleging the violation of federal law after exhausting its conciliation efforts to reach a voluntary pre?litigation settlement.
"Although the company was initially enthusiastic about Mr. Keeler's application, once it became aware of his religious beliefs, it no longer considered him as a possible candidate for the job," said Katharine W. Kores, district director of the EEOC's Memphis District Office, which has jurisdiction over Arkansas, Tennessee, and portions of Mississippi. "Title VII prohibits such disparate treatment. Job applicants should never be treated differently because they do not hold the same religious beliefs as a potential employer."
Faye Williams, regional attorney of the Memphis District Office added, "Job seekers are encountering a crowded job market and are finding it more difficult to secure employment. Their efforts should not be sabotaged by an employer's religious bias. The EEOC remains vigilant in its mission to promote equality of opportunity in the workplace for both employees and applicants."
Premier Well Services, LLC is an Arkansas limited liability company that completes, services, and maintains oil and gas wells. It employs approximately 37 people.
The EEOC enforces federal laws prohibiting employment discrimination. Further information about the EEOC is available on its web site at www.eeoc.gov.

Australian Recording Industry Continues To Fight The Technology That Is Saving It
from the death-wish dept
There have been many posts on Techdirt about the copyright industry's hatred for new technologies that eventually turned out to be important sources of additional revenue -- the VCR being perhaps the most famous example. Here's a splendid column from Adam Turner in the Sydney Morning Herald about the same thing happening again in Australia.As he points out, last year Australia saw a 4% growth in music sales, which outpaced the rest of the world, whose much lower 0.3% growth we discussed recently. In other words, if anything, the Australian recording companies should be celebrating the present and optimistic about the future. Instead, they are once more frightened by some technological developments that will in fact help them: an upgrade to the country's Internet infrastructure. Here's how Turner puts it:
As the National Broadband Network [NBN] rolls out across the country, it's going to make music and video downloads more accessible to all Australians. It's time for the music industry to learn the lessons of the past decade and seize the initiative. But it seems you can't teach old gucci-clad dogs new tricks.It's really extraordinary that even in the face of figures that suggest digital sales are taking off, the recording industry is still demanding harsher measures against people who share unauthorized copies of files online, as if that ever worked -- or ever could work. For, as Turner rightly says:
"If more action isn't taken by the government and ISPs to curb piracy levels the NBN could have disastrous results for the local industry," according to a major report from the International Federation of the Phonographic Industry. "All Australian content industries" will suffer if pirates are allowed to run rampant on the NBN, added Dan Rosen -- CEO of Australian Recording Industry Association.
Ramping up the war on its customers won't see people start buying more music. It's a war the music industry can't win, but it seems determined to die trying.Follow me @glynmoody on Twitter or identi.ca, and on Google+

Halestorm Announce Album Title and Release Date, Unleash EP
Halestorm fans, you're going to want to sit back and enjoy this one. The band just dropped an all-you-can-eat helping of good news starting with the title and track listing of their much anticipated upcoming album. In addition, the band has announced the release of a companion EP, out today for fans to get a taste of what's in store.
The new album, that we now know is titled 'The Strange Case Of…' isn't out until April 10, but as a precursor to the big day, the band released a four song EP they're calling 'Hello, It's Mz. Hyde,' available online now.
Frontwoman Lzzy Hale introduced the EP to fans herself, saying, "This small collection of songs is your introduction to darkest parts of me, and also the softest pieces of me." She continued, with, "It's taken me most of my life to be comfortable letting both sides co-exist. And as I stand naked before you, that time is now. This is the first taste of a strange case to come. So without further ado..."
Listen to the four song EP below that includes 'Love Bites (So Do I), 'Rock Show,' 'Daughters of Darkness,' and 'Here's to Us.' The band has been playing a few of the songs live but this is the first time the final recorded versions have been heard and she's not kidding about the juxtaposition from dark to soft, from the growling ass-kicking delivered courtesy of 'Love Bites (So Do I), to the softer tones of 'Here's to Us,' Hale and her band are putting it all out there on this one.
Halestorm will be hitting the road with Godsmack and Staind following the release of 'The Strange Case Of…' in April on the Mass Chaos tour. Check out the dates here.
For more on the new album, check out our exclusive interview with Lzzy here.

KYTHERA Biopharmaceuticals, Inc. Announces Positive Interim Results from Open-Label Phase IIIb Study
KYTHERA Biopharmaceuticals, Inc. Announces Positive Interim Results from Open-Label Phase IIIb Study of ATX-101 at the 11thAnti-Aging Medicine World Congress (AMWC)
- Results featured in the "Innovations and Renewals" session
MONTE CARLO, Monaco--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- KYTHERA Biopharmaceuticals, Inc. (NAS: KYTH) today announced positive interim results from a Phase IIIb, multicenter, open-label study (ATX-101-11-26) of ATX-101 during the "Innovations and Renewals" session of the 11th Anti-Aging Medicine World Congress (AMWC), April 4-6, Monte Carlo, Monaco. The study, presented by investigator Susan Weinkle, MD, FAAD, evaluated the safety and efficacy of ATX-101, a potential first-in-class, non-surgical, injectable drug in Phase III trials for the reduction of unwanted submental fat (SMF), commonly known as "double chin." The results found that ATX-101 is well tolerated and may be effective in reducing SMF by both clinician- and patient-reported outcome measures. AMWC is the world's largest event for global aging management, and attracts aesthetic dermatologists, surgeons and clinicians in the regenerative, preventative and anti-aging medicine industry from more than 95 countries.
"The positive interim results are consistent with previous ATX-101 studies," said Weinkle, a board certified dermatologist and affiliate clinical professor at the University of South Florida, Tampa, Fla., U.S. "Worldwide, doctors are receiving requests from their patients for a non-surgical way to treat their double chin. The results of this study suggest that microinjections of ATX-101 have an acceptable safety profile and can reduce the appearance of a double chin with high patient satisfaction."
ATX-101 is a proprietary formulation of synthetically-derived deoxycholic acid (DCA), a molecule found in the body that helps break down dietary fat. In this open-label Phase IIIb study, interim results three months after the last ATX-101 treatment are outlined below. Observations were made using validated rating instruments for which one-grade changes are considered to be clinically meaningful:
- Reduction of submental fat
- 87 percent of patients achieved at least a one-grade improvement from baseline on the Clinician-Reported Submental Fat Rating Scale (CR-SMFRS)
- Similarly, 83 percent of patients achieved at least a one-grade improvement on the Patient-Reported Submental Fat Rating Scale (PR-SMFRS)
- 96 percent of patients had unchanged or improved skin laxity based on the clinician rated Submental Skin Laxity Grading Scale (SMSLG)
- 97 percent of patients reported improvement in chin and neck definition
- Adverse events were primarily of mild to moderate intensity, transient and associated with the treatment area
As previously announced, 71.3 percent of subjects had at least a one-grade improvement on the CR-SMFRS / PR-SMFRS composite and 14.0 percent had at least a two-grade improvement on the same composite measure.
These results are based on a multicenter, 12-month, open-label, Phase IIIb study conducted at 21 sites across the U.S., evaluating 165 adults who received injections of ATX-101 for up to six treatments at four-week intervals. Patients received ATX-101 (2 mg/cm2) by subcutaneous microinjections directly into their SMF, and were evaluated three months after their last treatment. The study population includes females (77.6 percent) and males (22.4 percent) with a mean age of 47, who report at least moderate SMF and dissatisfaction with the appearance of their chin. All Fitzpatrick Skin Types are represented.
"We are encouraged by the interim Phase IIIb results of ATX-101," said Frederick Beddingfield, III, M.D., Ph.D., KYTHERA's chief medical officer. "The results, along with additional data from our ATX-101 clinical development program, support the potential for ATX-101 to enter the market as the only U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA)-approved drug for the reduction of double chin."
ATX-101 is the first pharmacological treatment for the reduction of submental fat to be investigated under a rigorous clinical development program with the goal of seeking regulatory approvals worldwide, specifically in the U.S., Canada and Europe. When injected, ATX-101 targets the fat cells, or adipocytes, and destroys and eliminates them.
The ATX-101 global clinical development program has enrolled more than 2,500 total patients, of which more than 1,500 have been treated with ATX-101.
About ATX-101
ATX-101 is a potential first-in-class, non-surgical, injectable drug in Phase III clinical trials for the reduction of submental fat, which commonly presents as a "double chin." ATX-101 is a proprietary formulation of synthetically-derived deoxycholic acid (DCA), a molecule found in the body that helps break down dietary fat.
When injected, ATX-101 targets the fat cells and destroys them. The destruction of the fat cells is followed by a natural response that results in the submental fat being eliminated from the treatment area, and it is believed that the treatment results in neocollagensis at the treatment site. The fat that is cleared from the body is transported through the lymphatic system, which is similar to how the body processes dietary fat.
Based on clinical trials conducted to date, ATX-101 has exhibited significant, meaningful and durable results in the reduction of submental fat. These results correspond with subject satisfaction measures demonstrating meaningful improvement in perceived chin appearance.
In August 2010, Bayer signed a licensing and collaboration development agreement with KYTHERA, thereby obtaining development and commercialization rights to ATX-101 outside of the U.S. and Canada. Bayer recently completed two pivotal Phase III trials of ATX-101 in Europe for the reduction of submental fat. Positive topline results from these trials were reported in the second quarter of 2012. KYTHERA completed enrollment in its pivotal Phase III clinical program for ATX-101 in more than 1,000 subjects, randomized to ATX-101 or placebo, in 70 centers across the United States and Canada in August 2012. The Company expects to release topline results in mid-2013.
ATX-101 is the first pharmacological treatment for the reduction of submental fat to be investigated under a rigorous clinical development program with the goal of seeking regulatory approvals worldwide, specifically in the U.S., Canada and Europe.

The Best $3.50 Breakfast Sandwich in Brooklyn?
A cheddar-ham biscuit with a soft-boiled egg: how could this be bad? No big surprises, it's pretty perfect and available all day at Iris Cafe in Brooklyn Heights, which opened a couple months ago on a sleepy brownstone block.
Co-owner Rachel Graville uses her grandma's biscuit recipe, which is already flaky, soft, and all those other good adjectives, but then she goes and adds Surryano ham (Serrano-style from Surrey, Virginia) and cheddar—wow. The meat bits give you that smoky flavor without the hassle of a knife-and-fork situation; and the still-warm biscuit gets a swipe of butter (because somehow butter-on-butter is never gratuitous in biscuit situations). There are no "egg" patties involved—this white blob is perfectly cooked and peppered, and the yolk will inevitably ooze into the biscuit craters.
There's a lot of flavor packed into that little breakfast bundle ($3.50) and you can wash it down with Stumptown (coffee swooon).

Those called "nouveau riche" in a society of ignorance are usually people in the middle income bracket, who have become suddenly rich, either as the result of an inheritance or some other fortuitous cause. Among them are those who are divorced from religion, and who want to appear superior in the eyes of others; nor do they give thanks to Allah for the blessings they have received. When speaking they continually make reference to how rich they are, how they spend money without keeping track of it, what they have bought and where they have been on vacation. If they buy clothing, it will be from a designer label. They will have their pictures taken in all the prestigious locations they have visited, and display them conspicuously in the house. Whether they enjoy it or not, they do what rich people are known for, trying in all cases to imitate their way of life. For example, to give the impression that they know a foreign language, or that they have just come from abroad, they will use foreign words in their conversations, even though they do not know what they mean. Rather, they tend to show their ignorance by using words out of place. They want to appear to be cultivated but only embarrass themselves. They wear clothing that does not suit them, just to have the image of a person wearing latest styles.
They are unable to be critical of themselves. That is, they cannot see themselves through the eyes of others. They cannot see how ridiculous they look, or what suits them or is more becoming for them. They go out of their way to imitate what the wealthy are known to do.
It is clear that it is Allah Who has provided their new-found wealth. Perhaps, until that time, they had often prayed that Allah would increase them in wealth and possessions. But, when their prayers are answered, they immediately forget their former circumstances, and the prayers they have made. Allah describes in the Qur'an those who show bad morality after they have already been conferred with blessings:
When We grant blessing to a man, he turns away and draws aside but when any evil touches him, he is full of endless prayers! (Surah Fussilat, 51)
They resort to various methods to ingratiate themselves to the wealthy, but this just makes them despised. Actually, their attempts have only sunk them into a trap. Instead of seeking to win Allah's favor, they try to make others like them. But, for this, Allah has prepared for them a dire reward. They will lose not only the love of Allah, but also the estimation of other people.2012-01-21 03:03:57

Udaipur Hands Down Skills
On the streets of Udaipur, India, people learn together: Locals teach each other to grow organic food and herbs, create community art, weave handloom cloth, and harvest rainwater. They make bicycle-powered washing machines and blenders, and construct solar cookers and musical instruments from castoff materials.
Through the work of Shikshantar, an organization devoted to radical education and the Gandhian concept of "swaraj" (self-rule), Udaipur residents swap information and learn with their hands. Shikshantar believes anyone can be a teacher and when people collaborate, they can develop a "culture of learning." The organization helps support that learning through community media, intergenerational gatherings, and apprenticeships. Check out swaraj.org/shikshantar.

As I sit here, I'm eating this cake. Yes, you should be jealous, because it's good . In fact, this simple gluten free chocolate cake is now 3days old and it's better than the day it was baked. It's mellowed, become richer . The frosting has helped to trap the moisture inside and keep it that way, like making fruit mince from scratch, you need to leave it for a while for the fruit to taste so good. Don't get me wrong, though, this cake is perfectly F. I. N. E on the first day it's made. In fact it reminds me of my childhood, or at least of chocolate cupcakes, as my Mum always made a very fudgy chocolate cake for birthdays. These were covered in what is lovingly referred to as 'kids icing' in our home (the kind that's mainly icing sugar with a dob of butter and boiling water whisked into an icing sugar-like paste, add preferred flavourings as desired). In fact, it's funny that this cake was thought up and baked right before my Mum sent me a reminder of my childhood in the form of one of my favourite movie stars, the all singing, all dancing, cute as a button, one and only Shirley Temple. Yep, I loved her movies as a child and I still do now. Watching this clip certainly brought back memories as well as a little sing-a-long!
This gluten free chocolate cake has a soft crumb, perfect with whipped cream and strawberries, or as in my case, cream whipped with nuttella, sandwiched together, coated with rich chocolate ganache and topped with roasted hazelnuts. A-la-gluten-free-ferrero-rocher-cake!
This of course, all makes absolutely no sense, as, back in the day when I actually could eat those lumpy little chocolates given so often at christmas, well, I erm... didn't eat them. Nope. Didn't like them. I made lots of friends with this choice of chocolate-distate. Yes. Yes, I did. I'm not prooud of it, but hey.... this post isn't actually about me and my dislike for fererro rocher chocolates, because it's defunct now as fererro recher chocolates are not gluten free (I've checked the last three christmases and passed them to my man - much to his delight!)
In fact, this little cake, and I emphasize little as this is a mini cake, was baked out of the desire for chocolate cake (I'm female after all, and if the female bit doesn't apply to you and you are reading this, then the excuse is you're human!) it's also a good friend's birthday today. So, Miss M, my wo-worker who became a friend, who fell in love with my little brother and who will therefore, forever be my sister. You see that is a bond that can't be broken to me, falling in love with my little brother takes guts and a whole lotta patience (love ya J!). So, Miss M, on this, your birthday, I give you a triple chocolate, hazelnut layer cake - I hope you like it , cos I'm enjoying a piece for you, over here on the opposite side of Australia - HAPPY BIRTHDAY!
Gluten Free Triple Chocolate, Hazelnut Layer Cake
This cake has been made in three 10cm cake tins and assembled using two of them (the third one is what I like to call a tester, a bonus!). The gluten free chocolate cake recipe can be baked as one 20cm cake (cooking time would be around 35-40minutes). This recipe has three elements, simply follow the below recipes, the cream and ganache will need to be doubled for the 20cm cake.
Gluten Free Chocolate Cake
Three x 10cm cakes
125g butter
45g dark chocolate, chopped
20g cocoa powder
50g castor sugar
70g brown sugar
85g rice flour
20g cornflour
1tsp gluten free baking powder
1Tblspn milk
Preheat oven oven to 175degrees celcius. Line selected baking trays (as above) with baking paper.
Place the butter in a small saucepan over low heat and melt. Add the chocolate and cocoa and stir to combine and until the chocolate has melted. Remove from heat and allow to cool.
In a large bowl whisk together the eggs and sugar until light and creamy. Add the chocolate mixture and stir to combine. Whisk in the remaining ingredients until just combined.
Pour into cake tin(s) and bake for approximately 23-25minutes for the three10cm tins.
Allow to cool in tins for ten minutes before turning out onto wire racks to cool completely.
Hazelnut Cream
125ml cream
2Tblspn Nutella
Whisk the cream until thick. Add in the Nutella and whisk until that of whisked cream.
Chocolate Ganache
100g dark choc
65ml cream
Bring the cream to boiling point in a small saucepan. Remove from heat and stir in chocolate. Continue to stir until chocolate is melted and smooth. Allow to cool until ganache is of a thick pourable consistency.
To assemble layer cake
Cut the tops off of two of the cakes, so that they are level. Place one cake top up onto your serving platter, spread a quarter of the nutella cream on top of the cake and sandwich with the second cake, cut side down. Cover with the remaining nutella cream. Place in the freezer to set for 15minutes.
Remove from freezer and pour the cooled (but still pourable) chocolate ganache over the top to create drips. Top with roasted hazelnuts and ta-da!
As perviously mentioned this cake gets better with time, so keep in an airtight container in the fridge for a day or so, or if a fridge isn't such a good idea make the nutella cream into a buttercream frosting, as it will keep better.
This recipe is nut free if the Nutella cream and roasted hazelnuts are omitted.

Mr. Crusher, WE NEED MORE DATA!
We interrupt the wreckage to bring you this photo of Brent Spiner putting on a Carrot Jockey necklace:
This photo brought to you by my new favorite henchperson Morgan, who actually gave up her hard-earned necklace at Dragon*Con yesterday when Spiner spotted it, told her he liked the site, and that he wanted one. (Read about it on Morgan's blog here.) Rest assured, I am sending her a replacement - along with my hypothetical first-born-child, should she ever want it.
Morgan is also the person responsible for my blush-felt-'round-the world when she gave me a completely unexpected shout-out at the mic in front of nearly 2,000 people in Wil Wheaton's panel yesterday morning. I was so stunned I thought I might crawl under my chair, but Wil was amazingly gracious, saying, "Oh, is she here? Cake Wrecks is awesome," and then everyone was looking around for me, and I thought I was going to die, but instead I stood up for about 0.3 seconds and gave a quick wave and squeaked a "hi!" just so they'd stop looking and we could move on, and then I KNEW I was going to die because I'm just a socially awkward writer used to being locked in my office all day and who only ventures out for book tours and sci-fi conventions because I'm such a geeky fan girl and life-long Trekker even though I try to act all professional and nonchalant and stuff but it was totally worth it because WIL WHEATON SAID I WAS AWESOME - albeit indirectly and probably under polite duress - and BRENT SPINER HAS A JOCKEY NECKLACE THAT I MADE and this is all really too much for me and I think I need to go lie down for a bit.
That's all.
We now return you to the wreckage.
PS - On the off chance Brent and/or Wil ever reads this: thank you, gentlemen. Truly. I've been invited on Letterman and my book once made the NY Times' BSL, but for this geek girl, yesterday topped it all. (And Wil, I'm terribly sorry for interrupting your panel, which was excellent and totally worth waking up at o' indecent hours for.)
PPS - Also, you fellow fans should all go watch Spiner's new web series Fresh Hell, which is hilarious even when he makes a crack about Orlando, and read Wil's book Just a Geek, which I adored.

President Barack Obama is launching a push to extend tax cuts for the middle class, as he seeks to shift the election-year economic debate away from the dismal jobs market and toward the issue of tax fairness.
WASHINGTON (AP) ? President Barack Obama is launching a push to extend tax cuts for the middle class, as he seeks to shift the election-year economic debate from the dismal jobs market to assertions that Republican rival Mitt Romney protects the rich.
Obama, in an address from the White House later Monday, will call on Congress to pass a one-year extension of tax cuts for households making less than $250,000 a year.
The president's appeal to middle-class voters is aimed at drawing a contrast with Romney and congressional Republicans. The House GOP is expected to make its own push this month for an extension of all the Bush-era tax cuts due to expire at the end of the year, including reductions on wealthier income earners.
Obama opposes extending the tax cuts for Americans with higher incomes, while Romney has said he supports extending the expiring cuts for all income earners.
The president's shift to the tax debate follows Friday's lackluster jobs report showing the nation's unemployment rate stuck at 8.2 percent. And it comes as Democrats embark on a coordinated attack on Romney, intensifying calls for him to explain offshore bank accounts and release several years of tax returns.
The strategy is aimed at portraying Romney, whose personal wealth could exceed $250 million, as disconnected from middle-class voters.
"We have to continue to grow our economy. We have to grow it from the middle class out," Robert Gibbs, an Obama campaign adviser, said Monday in an interview on NBC's "Today" show. "But for millionaires and billionaires, they don't need a tax cut," he added.
Gibbs said, "We're going to have to make some tough choices in this country. We can't continue to spend the kind of money that was spent in the last decade."
Romney spokeswoman Andrea Saul said Obama's proposal amounted to a "massive tax increase"
"It just proves again that the president doesn't have a clue how to get America working again and help the middle class," Saul said.
Romney aides have also called Democratic attacks on the presumptive GOP nominee's wealth an "unfounded character assault."
Romney hasn't shirked from his wealth in the face of renewed Democratic criticism. He held a $50,000 per person fundraisers Sunday in the Hamptons, New York's exclusive string of waterfront communities on Long Island's South Shore.
Romney aides also announced that the campaign and the Republican National Committee raised a combined $106 million in June, the former Massachusetts governor's biggest monthly haul so far. The Obama campaign has not yet announced its June fundraising total.
Obama was to make his case for the middle class tax cut extension during an event in the White House East Room later Monday. He was expected to be joined at the event by several people the White House says would benefit from the extension.
The president's pitch may face opposition not only from Republicans, but also some congressional Democrats. House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., and Sen. Charles Schumer, D-N.Y., a member of his party's Senate leadership, have both advocated denying the tax cut extension to those making above $1 million annually.
For Democrats, using the higher figure would avoid raising taxes on people ? especially in areas with high costs of living ? who don't consider themselves wealthy, and is an easier number to use when making the political argument that the rich should contribute to deficit reduction. But denying an extension of the tax cut only to those making above $1 million would limit the revenue that would be raised to appreciably less than the roughly $800 billion over 10 years that would come from denying the reductions to those making over $250,000.
Obama was to continue the tax debate Tuesday during a campaign trip to Iowa. His re-election team was also promoting the president's tax policy at a series of events this week in battleground states, including New Hampshire, Colorado and Nevada.
The Bush-era tax cuts are due to expire at the end of the year unless Congress votes to extend them. Economists worry that across-the-board tax increases, along with automatic spending cuts also scheduled to take hold at year's end, could be a blow to the shaky U.S. economy.

Associated Press
HARRISBURG (AP) — Some advocates of repealing or relaxing Pennsylvania's anti-marijuana laws say they are encouraged by referendum votes to legalize recreational use of the drug in Colorado and Washington state, but Gov. Tom Corbett vows to veto any such bill.
State Sen. Daylin Leach, who sponsored one of two medical-marijuana bills that died in committee during the just-ended legislative session, said the referendums results will help pave the way for similar measures in other states.
Leach, D-Montgomery, compared marijuana legalization efforts to the debate over legalizing same-sex marriage, saying that once a few states act, it will reveal the falsity of "all the horror stories" perpetuated by opponents.
"More and more states will do it, and as more states do it, the arguments against it will become weaker and weaker," he said.
Leach said he intends to resurrect his bill to allow marijuana use for medical purposes and will also sponsor a bill to decriminalize the drug.
"The smoking of marijuana should not be handled as a criminal justice issue," he said.
Chris Goldstein, a board member of the Philadelphia chapter of the National Organization for the Reform of Marijuana Laws, agreed that the Colorado and Washington balloting will bolster support for legalizing marijuana, especially for medical reasons.
Goldstein cited a May 2010 poll by Franklin & Marshall College in Lancaster showing that 80 percent of Pennsylvanians favored the medical use of marijuana.
"It's a bipartisan issue," he said. "I don't think that legislators can make it a back-burner issue any more."
But Republican Gov. Tom Corbett's spokesman, Kevin Harley, said Corbett would veto any legalization bill, even if it were limited to medical purposes.
"He believes that smoking marijuana is a crime, should remain a crime and that marijuana is a gateway drug," Harley said.
State Rep. Mark Cohen, a Philadelphia Democrat who unsuccessfully sponsored medical-marijuana bills in the last two legislative sessions, said he would introduce similar legislation in the next session but he is not optimistic about its prospects.
Cohen said the proposal lacks support among his fellow Democrats and has no support from the Republican majority.
Unless that changes, "it's obvious we don't have the votes to pass it," he said.
