– So “Organizing for America,” which used to be called “Obama for America,” held a contest to create an ad for health care reform. And they asked “you,” to… What use would California, a state, have for international relations? With a gross domestic product approaching $2-trillion, a population nearing 40-million residents, and with our head of state holding global summits and talks around the world, California is well into the international relations and foreign affairs arena. It is widely known that the California economy is among the world’s Someone call the waaahmbulance: Megan Fox’s starring turn in the movie “Jennifer’s Body” didn’t do as well as she’d hoped and she’s looking for a scapegoat…. ABC News spends 2050 words explaining how irresponsible movie theater chains give their customers what they want slowly kill their customers with fatty, sugary high-caloric snacks: From UCLA They’ve become ubiquitous in a range of products, from paints to vitamins and in cosmetics and sunscreens. But there are new warnings on the use of superfine titanium dioxide, so minuscule it’s in the nanoparticle range: In mice, these TiO2 nanoparticles of which 2 million tons annually are manufactured and used in industry, caused systemic genetic damage. These nanoparticles, which have become most common in sunscreens because they make the product less visible and more absorbent, do not flush from the body and were found to accumulate in mouse organs where they caused stress-inducing molecular reactions in cells, breaking DNA and damaging chromosomes. They also heightened inflammation, a cancer-causing factor. Ubiquitous titanium dioxide nanoparticles causes systemic genetic damage in mice From Loyola Law School As a publishing niche, the folks who dreamed up the glossy Super Lawyers supplements deserve credit: They’ve created their own system that lets lawyers nominate peers, who then get subjected to some subjective scrutiny that results in the recognition of a legal elite in advertising-rich, magazine-style publications across the country. Look at the listed "Super Lawyers" or "Rising Stars" and their cred can be hard to argue. And now the brand and marketing has been extended to a law school ranking system, based upon how many of the "Super Lawyers" attended what institution. By this measure, the Bruins are the most notable Southern California law school, ranking No. 14 nationally, with Loyola at No. 29, USC at No. 41, Southwestern at No. 82., Whittier Law at No. 159 and the University of LaVerne College of Law at No. 169. In this ranking, the top three are Harvard, Michigan, UT Austin. An interesting multimedia aspect of the Super Lawyer law school rankings: the capacity to see the Super Law alums from each school.

It will be built in Hawaii as the first of the next-generation of ground-based observatories with a telescope armed with the latest technological innovations for precision, a segmented-mirror design and adaptive optics to correct for blurring caused by the Earth’s atmosphere. The Chinese come aboard as observers to the project, a step in fuller discussions in building and operating the $300 million project, which is a partnership that now includes Caltech, the University of California and an association of Canadian research institutions. Meantime, for those who can’t get enough of developments skyward, an expert in Irvine has a briefing for his upcoming lecture on black holes.
