Liverpool host Portuguese side FC Porto on Tuesday night, in the first leg of their Champions League quarter final. After gaining another massive three points on Friday night against Southampton, Klopp's men will be hungry for another successful win on yet another European night at Anfield. With Andy Robertson missing the first leg of the tie due to a yellow card picked up against Bayern Munich, Klopp has a massive decision to make on who he starts at left back. Who do you think will start?
Porto are yet to beat Liverpool in a competitive match after six attempts. The Reds have drawn three and won three against the Portuguese club. Both sides met in the round of 16 in last year's Champions League, Liverpool won the first leg at Porto by five goals to nil, the second leg at Anfield ended as a 0-0 draw. Porto have never faced an opponent a greater number times than Liverpool without winning a single game.
Porto boss Sergio Conceicao will be missing many of his key players come Tuesday night, due to injuries. Alex Telles, Francisco Soares, Danilo and Moussa Marega have all not travelled to Merseyside with the Porto squad. Conceicao expressed his thoughts on how his side might struggle without some of these players. "Moussa Marega offers an awful lot when he plays in a two-man attack. His replacement is likely to offer different qualities, so our playing style might change as a result." Striker Vincent Aboubakar may be in contention to feature at Anfield, as he has recently returned to the side after suffering from a hamstring problem. Ex Real Madrid centre back Pepe is suspended for this fixture along with Mexican Playmaker Hector Herrera.
Now onto my predicted line-up for the game. I feel Conceicao will start the game with a 4-3-3. I feel Casillas will start in goal. Due to the absence of Pepe, I believe Maxi Pereira will be introduced into the starting eleven. This means Militao will be shifted into centre back alongside Felipe, then out at left back I think Manafa will replace the injured Alex Telles. I feel the three man midfield will consist of Otavio, Oliver and Pereira. This leaves the front three in my opinion to be Brahimi out on the left wing, Tiquinho Porto's top goal scorer out on the right with Marega who I think will be fit for the game up front.
I think far too many people are underestimating the quality that FC Porto can produce when it comes to scoring goals. Porto have a very good goalscoring record in the Liga Nos and they could cause us trouble, as Robertson is suspended and we may rest some of our key players. I'm going to go with a 4-1 win to Liverpool with Salah getting on the scoresheet along with Van Dijk, Henderson and Milner. Tell me what you think the score will be, COME ON YOU REDS!!

Jenny Lewis Couldn't Shake Her Audience at the Civic
Submitted by Alex Rawls on September 16, 2019 - 2:15pm
[Updated] Jenny Lewis gave the audience at Civic every reason not to invest in her. Her bouffant and gold sequined dress with pink-feathered cuffs begged people not to take her seriously, and that look has become so signature that a drag queen showed up in it and posed for pictures with Lewis' fans in the lobby. And there was an ease to her performance that bordered on too easy.

Owen and Shearer Explore the Two Sides of Christmas
Submitted by Alex Rawls on December 18, 2012 - 8:34am
For Judith Owen, Christmas music is a full-contact sport. It doesn't exist on records and CDs sung by Crosby or Cole or Carey or Bieber; it's made to be sung, preferably loudly with a large group of people. It's a personal and social phenomenon as much as a musical one, and the Judith Owen and Harry Shearer Holiday Sing-Along is all about participation tonight and tomorrow night at the Contemporary Arts Center.

Last Night: Lumineers Lead a Sing-Along
"Normally I ask people to put away their phones," The Lumineers' Wesley Schultz told the crowd at the sold-out House of Blues last night, but he didn't finish the sentence. There was no need to. From the first bars of "Submarines," the very collegiate audience was too busy singing along to update a Facebook status.

State Rep. Todd Russ announces campaign for State Treasurer
Todd Russ Announces 2022 Campaign for State Treasurer
(June 29th) State Representative Todd Russ announced today that he will seek the Republican nomination for State Treasurer next year. Russ is completing his sixth term in the Oklahoma House of Representatives. State Treasurer Randy McDaniel announced earlier this month he would not seek reelection.
"I am grateful for the leadership opportunities I have been given and the accomplishments during my time in the legislature.I believe my extensive background in banking and business, along with my understanding of the inner workings of state government, make me uniquely qualified to serve as Treasurer," Russ said.
"It would be my honor to continue to serve the citizens of Oklahoma as their next State Treasurer. I hold the same conservative values as the vast majority of Oklahomans. I know the value of hard work and the importance of standing for Godly values and honest, ethical leadership," Russ added.
Russ has more than 35 years of banking experience. He served as President and CEO of Washita State Bank in Burns Flat from 2003-2008. During his tenure, Russ took one of the smallest banks in the state and doubled its assets, and was rated the number one bank in Oklahoma for ORE (return on equity) for six straight quarters in his peer group. Russ sold the majority of his bank stock and began management consulting with banks and businesses in 2008.
Russ developed a reputation and track record of successfully guiding banks to resolve problem loans and other bank management needs. In addition, Russ has worked with Oklahoma banks, corporations, and small businesses to address performance, profitability, and compliance issues.
During his banking career, Russ served as a director of the Oklahoma Bankers Association and Chairman of the OBA Small Bank Council.
Russ began in banking as a banking assistant at the State Bank of Rocky in 1983. He was later employed at Washita State Bank in Burns Flat and became Vice President. Russ served as vice-president and executive vice-president at banks in Chickasha and Oklahoma City until returning to Washita State Bank.
Russ, who lives in Cordell, has represented House District 55, which covers parts of five western Oklahoma counties (Beckham, Greer, Kiowa, Roger Mills, and Washita)since 2009. Since that time, he has proven to be an effective leader in the Republican-led State House of Representatives. Russ is Chairman of the Transportation A&B committee. He also serves on several other major committees: House Appropriations and Budget, Common Education, and Insurance.
Russ is a fourth-generation resident of Western Oklahoma. He graduated from Sentinel High School in 1979 where he was active in Future Farmers of America, receiving the State Farmer degree his senior year. Russ worked as a welder to help fund his college education. He then attended Southwestern Oklahoma State University, obtaining a bachelor's degree in Finance. Russ is also a graduate of the University of Colorado Graduate School of Banking. He has specialized training in Asset/Liability Management and Interest Rate Risk Analysis.
Russ was the founder of the Burns Flat-Dill City Educational Foundation. He was a charter member of the Oklahoma Southwest Economic Alliance. Russ also served as a member of the Cordell City Council and on the advisory board for the Western Technology Center for Business. He is a member of Leadership Oklahoma and the NRA.
Russ, 60, was named the 2019 Legislator of the Year by the Oklahoma Childcare Association. Russ has a 100% pro-life voting record, a 100% Farm Bureau voting record, and in 2020 was endorsed by the NRA.
Russ and his wife, Khristy, have been married for 37 years and are members of New Beginnings Assembly of God, Cordell. Khristy is a 20-year veteran public school teacher. She currently owns and operates Atlas Title and Closing. They have three grown children: Ryan and wife Madison and their two sons, Rhettson and Raider Mack; Lacey and husband Jason Randall and their daughter London Kelley; and youngest daughter, Lauren and her husband Travis Collier.

Meranoplus mayri is a Malagasy species of ant in the genus Meranoplus.

Distribution
Meranoplus mayri is distributed throughout the drier regions of Madagascar from the Southwestern region near Andohahela National Park all the way north into the Mahajanga Province. The elevational range of M. mayri is 20–1345 m.

Description
This species displays subtle variation in morphometric and most sculptural characters across its range except for the sculpture of the base of abdominal tergum IV. This character varies from extremely smooth and shining in the southwest to strongly, dense-punctate and costate along the western edge of the High Plateau. Intergrades are common, however, occurring all along the western coast and into the High Plateau. Both smooth and punctate specimens may be found at the same locales, including Ampotoampoto, Ejada, Tsihombe and Ambinanitelo. The variation of this character indicates that although the two extremes are reproductively isolated by distance and geography, but are otherwise linked across their range by intermediate populations.

Biology
As with most of the diversity of Meranoplus, nothing is known about the behavior or ecology of M. mayri except that its ground nests may be found in urban gardens, grasslands, and deciduous and spiny forests. This is the most frequently collected Malagasy Meranoplus, with numerous specimens captured in pitfalls, malaise traps, and hand collections. Although few collections have been made of this species in the High Plateau region, it is predicted that they may be found there as well.

CFTC: We're 'Diligently' Working on All Crypto-Related Applications, Including Bakkt's
Cointelegraph By William Suberg
Cointelegraph March 22, 2019
United States regulator the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) is actively working to approve multiple crypto-related applications, including for Bitcoin (BTC) futures from institutional trading platform Bakkt. A CFTC commissioner revealed the news in remarks to cryptocurrency news network Blocktv in an interview on March 19.
Answering a question about the status of Bakkt's application, which has seen multiple delays, commissioner Dan Berkovitz avoided a direct update on the project, instead saying that the CFTC was trying to assist all cryptocurrency-related products in obtaining the necessary approval for launch in the U.S.
"We have a very interactive process with all the entities that come before us and [are] working diligently with all the applicants to process their applications and get their products on the market," he said, adding:
"But we need to ensure that a crypto product, just like any other product that's traded on our markets, meets all the standards."
Asked whether Bakkt was now receiving special treatment from the CFTC, however, Berkovitz declined to suggest previous hold-ups had resulted in pressure to move forward. "All of the applications before us we're working very hard on with the applicants, including that one," he added.
As reported today, the Wall Street Journal wrote that Bakkt was facing more difficulties in its road to getting the green light from regulators. Following a lack of consensus over how the platform would handle its Bitcoin futures, discussions nonetheless do remain ongoing.
"We are working through the regulatory review process and are looking forward to updating the market soon," the publication quoted an unnamed ICE spokesperson as saying.
Bakkt, the brainchild of New York Stock Exchange owner Intercontinental Exchange (ICE), was originally slated to debut in December, but regulatory compliance hurdles saw the date pushed back several times.
At present, a vague juncture sometime in 2019 is in the cards, as regulators seem highly wary of approving related offerings, specifically a Bitcoin exchange-traded fund (ETF).

China plans Colombian rail link to challenge Panama canal
A link between Cartagena in the Caribbean to an unspecified site on the country's Pacific coast would facilitate Chinese imports
Chinese plans for a rail link in Colombia could compete with the Panama canal which transformed global trade when it was opened in 1914. Photograph: David Levene
Rory Carroll, Latin America correspondent Tania Branigan in Beijing
It is a dream that bewitched Spain, ruined Scotland, stumped France and empowered the US: a path from the Atlantic to the Pacific oceans.
The ambition unleashed ruinous follies in Panama's jungles until the US finally finished a canal in 1914, an engineering feat that transformed global trade.
Now, almost a century later, China is envisaging a new link between the seas: a rail link through Colombia – a potential rival to the canal that would crown China's economic push into Latin America.
Beijing on Monday confirmed an announcement by the Colombian president, Juan Manuel Santos, that both governments are considering a rail connection from Cartagena, in the Caribbean, to the country's Pacific coast 280 miles (450km) away. The president's office refused to say which Pacific site was being considered.
The railway would facilitate the export of raw materials such as coal, as well as opening the way for Chinese imports. "It's a real proposal ... and it is quite advanced," Santos told the Financial Times. "The studies [the Chinese] have made on the costs of transporting per tonne, the cost of investment, they all work out."
Few doubt China can carve a path through the northern tip of south America. It has, after all, carved a 550km railway to Tibet, rebuilt Angola's railways and is busy erecting a giant industrial port in Brazil. The question is whether the railway would be cheaper or faster than the Panama canal, which is only a third as long and undergoing a $5.25bn (£3.3bn) expansion to double its capacity.
Panama also has an 80km railway connecting both sides of the isthmus, but until now the canal's main competition has been the rail link from California to the US eastern seaboard, which is faster but more expensive.
Could Colombia's railway compete? President Santos seemed to have little doubt, stressing the "incredible" number of Chinese delegations pitching proposals. The railway would require a production and assembly hub in a new city south of Cartagena, he said. "I don't want to create exaggerated expectations, but it makes a lot of sense. Asia is the new motor of the world economy."
With Chinese financing, the project would be a viable and attractive way for Bogota to ease transport bottlenecks in its mining industry, said Heather Berkman, a Eurasia Group analyst. "Colombia is no position to refuse offers of investment in its infrastructure. They need financing from outside sources and this makes sense for them." Bogota also hopes the plan will focus Washington's mind on ratifying a stalled free trade accord. "The Colombians have made it clear if there's no movement on the FTA this year they will court other parties. So there is pressure on the US."
The railway would hardly have the same impact of the canal a century ago but would be a symbol of China's economic incursions into what the US once considered its backyard. Latin American exports to China leapt to $41.3bn between 2000 and 2009. China is Colombia's second largest trade partner after the US, with bilateral trade rising from $10m in 1980 to more than $5bn in 2010.
However, the railway project could yet join a list of venerable pipedreams. In 1534 King Charles V of Spain ordered a survey for a route through Panama, hoping for a strategic edge over the Portuguese.
In 1698 a Scottish flotilla landed in Darien, a remote wedge of rainforest straddling what is now Panama and Colombia, hoping to found a colony and a gateway to the new world. The venture collapsed and bankrupted Scotland, hastening its loss of independence to England. "If the Scots had been successful the canal might have been constructed in Darien, by Panamanians speaking English in a lowland Scots dialect!" rued Jim Malcolm, a Scot and former British ambassador to Panama, in a 2005 booklet.
A French effort in the 1880s under Ferdinand de Lesseps, who built the Suez canal, foundered because of poor planning and disease which killed about 22,000 workers.
The US revived the canal project in 1903 after encouraging Panama, then part of Colombia, to secede and hand control of the waterway to Washington.
In 2006 Nicaragua revived its own long-held dream of a rival canal but the idea quickly faded. It did not have Chinese backing.

Last week, I made a day trip on short notice to fly with a friend to Orlando. As we said our goodbyes, my friend encouraged me to try to catch an earlier flight to avoid arriving home too late in the evening. I briefly considered it, but instead grabbed a late lunch in the Orlando airport, sat down with a journal, and spent some time writing. It had been a stressful few weeks, and I relished the opportunity to put my heart to paper, to allow the pen to help me sort out the mix of emotions that were rolling over me.
Later that evening, during a two-hour layover in Baltimore, my friend called. "Are you home yet?" they asked, hopeful.
I reassured them that I chose to keep the later flight in spite of being tired and overwhelmed, and began to tell them many of the joys of my afternoon. The Southwest boarding agent had been the best stand-up comic I'd seen in years, I had a cozy nap on the flight to Baltimore, and had been able to watch the sunset from a big rocking chair in the airport, a sliver of moon hanging crisp in the dimming pink sky over geometric rows of runway lights. Don't misread me – a full day spent in airports and airplanes was not my ideal, and the day's travels carried their own stressors. But what stuck out was the joy and meaning – the cathartic passion of writing, the belly-shaking laughter of a boarding agent whose silliness knew no limits, and the stunning visual of lights and sky and reflected nature dancing the sun into its sleep. The day was powerful. The day was vivid.
I've been thinking lately about grief – about broken expectations and heartache and fear and anxiety and all that we're told those things are supposed to mean or be to us. There's an underlying current of thought in American culture, put there by hundreds of years of bootstrap theology, patriarchal models that privilege mind over body, and positive thinking pop psychology, that tries to convince us that grief cannot coexist with joy, that humor cannot coexist with sadness, or that anger cannot coexist with love. We are told that these things cannot go together, and thus we must choose, pick which one we want to give power in our lives, as if the experience of one emotion, of one way of being, precludes all others… as if allowing ourselves to feel deeply, to be present in our bodies and their experiences, is to betray the cultural expectation to be okay, always okay… as if allowing ourselves to feel regret means we have no gratitude, or questioning shows insufficient faith in a loving God's goodness.
For the typical person, the pressures weigh heavy even on a good day. For someone who struggles with chronic illness or mental health, the incessant pressure to choose between grief and joy (and let's be clear, you are meant to choose joy) can itself be debilitating, when your grief also wants to be held, acknowledged, and heard. For someone who lives under any one of a series of marginalizations or oppressions, whether based on race, gender, class, or something else, the pressure to be happy, always happy, as evidence of your spiritual evolution is experientially dissonant, bordering on (if not explicitly) gaslighting.
In The Spiral Dance, Starhawk writes: "Much of reality – the welfare system, war, the social roles ordained for women and men – are created collectively and can only be changed collectively. One of the clearest insights of feminism is that our struggles are not just individual, and our pain is not private pain; it is created by ways in which our culture treats women as a class. Sexism, racism, poverty, and blind accident do shape people's lives, and they are not created by their victims." There is no shame in acknowledging that we have not solved our own oppression through the power of our spiritual intensity, even as we use a variety of modalities to heal or to ease our adjustments to life's unpredictability, and participate in actions to create structural change.
Saba Mahmood has written extensively about the problem of equating agency with resistance, of acknowledging agency only to the extent that the subject pursues a Western model of individualistic freedom. Similarly, there is a problem in equating a "good life" with positivity, of acknowledging someone's inherent value or success only to the extent that they embody Western ideals of success within a capitalist system and ever-present joy and contentment with the trajectory of their lives.
The reality is that there is often joy in parallel with grief, as bittersweet memories bring us optimistic hope as well as tenderness over things that could have happened, but didn't. There is often love in our hurt, the friend who holds our hand through the loss of a dream and the ensuing re-visioning of what our lives might become. There is often laughter in our tears, desire in our letting go, and the unexpected pink of sunset clouds lifting a sliver of moon high above dazzling runway lights at the setting of a long, busy, and emotionally full day.
Starhawk also writes: "While we can't stop the earth from turning, we can choose to experience each revolution so deeply and completely that even the dark becomes luminous." I'm still unconvinced that every experience is to be savored. Some pains are too great, some wounds too deep, to give thanks for them unconditionally. But even in the processing of those pains, there will be moments of joy, slivers of hope, waves of peace and healing. For each binary our culture shoves us into, demanding we choose and choose wisely, we can stay planted. We are big enough to hold them all – joy and grief, love and loss, pain and elation, and the new beginning that leans gently against the closure of what we thought we knew.
Like you I do not believe that all wounds are to be opportunities for gratitude. Some ARE too great. However, there are moments of joy that go parallel with pain, and we don't want to miss them.
Thanks, Sara! I think I tend to be resistant to binaries in general, because usually they don't reflect the complexity of the reality I see.
I like the way you framed not missing the moments of joy that flow with pain. Sometimes, it's easy to get bogged down in our grief, but there are sometimes those sweet moments in grief's midst that make it less overwhelming, more meaningful.
Your essays seem to leave me wanting to give you a hug and say, "yes, me, too" because I resonate with them to such a great degree. This one is no exception to that.
When you state that, "I'm still unconvinced that every experience is to be savored. Some pains are too great, some wounds too deep, to give thanks for them unconditionally." — for me, the key aspects are savoring and unconditional gratitude. These, too, lead us into false choice, yes? I may not savor an experience, but can acknowledge its depth and potential for growth; I may not give thanks unconditionally, because if I did, how could I full realize each component?
Thank you for this piece! Blessings!
P.S. Starhawk's "Spiral Dance" was my very first introductory book into women's spirituality, paganism, and the Goddess, so I retain a deep connection to her spiritual work.
Hi, Darla! Thank you for your comments about "savor" and "unconditional" — food for thought, indeed!
This is a beautifully written explanation of the power we gain by acknowledging the fullness of our life experiences. Spiritual feminism as you have expressed it provides validation and inspiration. Many thanks for your message which is especially important in these times full of tension and inequality as well as blossoming and finding voice.
Thank you, Elizabeth! I feel like if we are going to experience the fullness of life, we are also right to claim it and its insights and power.
Absolutely. I would add that expressing these insights and letting others know the power you gain from having a full range of experiences and valuing multiple emotional reactions is so important. That's why I am so glad you wrote your column. Thanks again.
Deeply felt, beautifully written post, thanks so much Christy Croft .
Sarah, I always enjoy the ways you are able to tie Taoism to my writing — it means a lot of me to have additional layers added to my understanding, and the teachings always resonate strongly with my own. Thank you for sharing that.
Yes! "We are big enough to hold them" all. Thank you.
So true! We are always expected to react in a particular way. If we fail, we are told to accept it with grace. If we have lost someone, we must be solemn. But even when we are in pain, especially for a long time, we do have happy moments in them. When my dad had cancer, we didn't always put on a sulky face and walk around. We had our share of little joyful moments as well, but then some people would question how we could be happy when our father is unwell. I do feel that sometimes, we try to control too many things in life and emotions, at least must be spared.
Such a powerful, and hopeful, reading. It struck a much needed chord with me. Thanks.
I feel that knowing the complex blend of our own elemental natures helps us to embrace what at first may seem contradictory and give the impression of having to choose either/or instead of allowing for both/and.

Background: Vitamin D is a regulatory factor for immunity and skin barrier functions. It is hypothesized to be linked to atopic dermatitis (AD) which is characterized by interaction between epidermal barrier dysfunction and dysregulation of skin immune functions.
Methods: One hundred AD patients and one hundred and one normal controls were collected from outpatient clinic based on their clinical condition, both had measurement of 25-hydroxyvitamin D 25(OH)D. We assessed the relationship between 25(OH)D deficiency and AD prevalence using adjusted Poisson regression model.
Results: Serum 25(OH)D levels were significantly lower in cases than controls (mean 35.1 versus 22.6 ng/mL, p < .001). The unadjusted prevalence ratios (PRs) (95% CI) for AD for comparing participants with intermediate and deficient vitamin D levels to those with optimal levels were 3.11 (1.91, 5.06) and 4.77 (2.99, 7.60), respectively. The association did not materially change after adjusting for potential confounders. In the fully adjusted analysis stratified by gender, PRs for AD for comparing male participants with intermediate and deficient vitamin D levels to those with optimal levels were 3.38 (1.21, 9.40) and 5.20 (1.91, 14.13), respectively, whereas in the female participants were 1.32 (0.96, 1.83) and 1.49 (1.04, 2.14), respectively (p-interaction <.001).
Conclusion: In this case-control study in children, we found a statistically significant dose–response association between vitamin D deficiency and AD. We also observed a statistically significant effect modification of this association by gender. Further research is recommended to study this association longitudinally, and to examine whether treating vitamin D deficiency may potentially improve AD.
Micronutrients in Atopic Dermatitis: A Systematic Review

The pathophysiology of atopic dermatitis (AD) involves a complex interplay between immune system dysfunction, genetics, and environmental factors. It is well known that nutritional status is essential to a proper functioning immune system, leading to a highly debated question regarding the role of dietary factors in the pathogenesis of AD. Food allergies and elimination diets have been broadly studied in atopy; however, less consideration has been given to how vitamins, minerals, and other micronutrients influence the risk for AD and severity of symptoms. This systematic review discusses evidence on how various micronutrients, including vitamins (C, E, and D) and trace minerals (zinc, selenium, iron, copper, magnesium, and strontium) are associated with AD, and how supplementation influence disease severity.
A systematic search was conducted to identify the role that oral micronutrients have on AD. The authors reviewed 49 studies herein.
While there are weak associations between vitamins C or E and AD, there is sufficient evidence to suggest that vitamin D supplementation provides benefit in AD patients. Deficiency of selenium and zinc may exacerbate AD. Current reports are not sufficient to confidently discern the role of other vitamins and trace minerals on AD.
Though oral micronutrients may play a role in AD, the current literature is limited, and there is a need for more comprehensive randomized controlled trials (RCTs) to truly decipher the role between oral micronutrients and AD.
Oral vitamin D3 5000 IU/day as an adjuvant in the treatment of atopic dermatitis: a randomized control trial

PDF is available free at Sci-Hub 10.1111/ijd.14220
Background:Vitamin D has immunomodulatory effects both in the innate and adaptive immune systems, and there is growing scientific evidence demonstrating its relevance in inflammatory processes such as AD.
Hypothesis: If vitamin D3 promotes the skin immune system, then it should improve the response to treatment of patients with AD.
A randomized, double‐blind placebo‐controlled clinical trial was conducted, which included 65 patients with AD according to Hanifin–Rajka criteria and the severity scale (SCORAD). The patients were divided into two groups to receive either vitamin D3 5000 IU/day (n = 33) or placebo (n = 32), plus baseline therapy (topical steroid, soap substitute, and emollient) during 3 months.
Fifty‐eight of the 65 enrolled subjects were included in the analysis. At the end of the intervention, the treated group achieved higher levels of 25(OH)D (P < 0.001). At week 12, those patients who registered serum levels of 25(OH)D ≥20 ng/ml, regardless of whether or not they had received supplementation, showed a lower SCORAD compared to those with levels <20 ng/ml (P < 0.001). Eighty percent of the patients with serum levels <20 ng/ml (n = 9) had moderate–severe AD despite standard treatment. Vitamin D levels ≥20 ng/ml associated with baseline therapy strongly favored remission of atopic dermatitis (P = 0.03). No significant differences were found between patients with serum levels of ≥20 ng/ml vs. ≥30 ng/ml.
Conclusions: Reaching serum levels of 25(OH)D > 20 ng/ml in conjunction with standard therapy is sufficient to achieve a reduction in severity (SCORAD) in patients with AD.

VitaminDWiki Summary
Vitamin D appears to both prevent and treat many skin diseases, such as atopic dermatitis
Topical vitamin D is especially useful for Skin diseases
- as vitamin D is directed at the problem, rather than the whole body
BACKGROUND: Atopic dermatitis is a chronically relapsing, highly pruritic and inflammatory skin disease. This study was done to assess the effects of vitamins D and E supplementation on the clinical manifestation of atopic dermatitis.
METHODS: Forty-five atopic dermatitis patients were included in a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial. They were randomly divided into four groups and treated for 60 days: group P (n = 11), vitamins D and E placebos; group D (n = 12), 1600 IU vitamin D(3) plus vitamin E placebo; group E (n = 11), 600 IU synthetic all-rac-?-tocopherol plus vitamin D placebo; and group DE (n = 11), 1600 IU vitamin D(3) plus 600 IU synthetic all-rac-?-tocopherol. Serum 25(OH) vitamin D and plasma ?-tocopherol were determined before and after the trial. The clinical improvement was evaluated with SCORing Atopic Dermatitis (SCORAD). Data were analyzed by analysis of variance (ANOVA) and Kruskal-Wallis tests.
RESULTS: SCORAD was reduced after 60 days in groups D, E and DE by 34.8%, 35.7% and 64.3%, respectively (p = 0.004). Objective SCORAD also showed significant improvement. There was a positive correlation between SCORAD and intensity, objective, subjective and extent (p < 0.001). We found a significant negative association between plasma ?-tocopherol and SCORAD, intensity, objective and extent (p = 0.02).
CONCLUSION: This study supports the contributing and beneficial effects of vitamins D and E in the treatment of atopic dermatitis.
Eczema is used as a general term for many types of skin inflammation (dermatitis) and allergic-type skin rashes. There are different types of eczema, like allergic, contact, irritant, and nummular eczema. Several other forms have very similar symptoms. The diverse types of eczema are listed and briefly described below. Atopic dermatitis is typically a more specific set of three associated conditions occurring in the same person including eczema, allergies, and asthma. Not every component has to be present at the same time, but usually these patients are prone to all of these three related conditions.
Contact eczema: a localized reaction that includes redness, itching, and burning where the skin has come into contact with an allergen (an allergy-causing substance) or with an irritant such as an irritating acid, a cleaning agent, or other chemical
Allergic contact eczema: a red, itchy, weepy reaction where the skin has come into contact with a substance that the immune system recognizes as foreign, such as poison ivy or certain preservatives in creams and lotions like Neosporin or Bacitracin
Seborrheic eczema (also called seborrheic dermatitis or seborrhea): is a very common form of mild skin inflammation of unknown cause that presents as yellowish, oily, scaly patches of skin on the scalp, face, ears, and occasionally other parts of the body. Often this is also called dandruff in adults or "cradle cap" in infants.
Nummular eczema: coin-shaped (round), isolated patches of irritated skin — most commonly on the arms, back, buttocks, and lower legs — that may be crusted, scaling, and extremely itchy
Neurodermatitis: a very particular type of dermatitis where the person frequently picks at their skin, causing rashes. The underling cause may be a sensitivity or irritation which sets off a cascade of repeated itching and scratching cycles. It may be seen as scratch marks and pick marks on the skin. Sometimes scaly patches of skin on the head, lower legs, wrists, or forearms caused by a localized itch (such as an insect bite) may become intensely irritated when scratched.
Stasis dermatitis: a skin irritation on the lower legs, generally related to circulatory problems and congestion of the leg veins. It may have a darker pigmentation, light-brown, or purplish-red discoloration from the congestion and back up of the blood in the leg veins. It's sometimes seen more in legs with varicose veins.

CSU announces Timothy White as new chancellor

UPDATE 12:00 p.m.
Timothy White, the former chancellor of University of California, Riverside (UCR), was selected after a nationwide search for current chancellor Charles Reed's replacement kicked off in May, CSU trustee and chair of the search committee Bill Hauck said during a conference call Thursday morning.
"We searched far and wide," Hauck said. "This was a national search and I believe we have arrived at a conclusion that is going to work very well for the California State University system."
Reed, who also participated in Thursday's call, said he couldn't be more pleased with his replacement. Reed cited White's history as a student in colleges across California, studying at both Cal State University, Fresno and University of California, Berkeley, before eventually becoming chancellor of UCR.
"This is a very important job," Reed said in the conference call. "It's a big job in California. I'm really pleased and proud that the board has selected somebody that really understands the California State University mission."
White, himself, is anticipating working with the CSU to tackle the challenges that are currently facing the public education system.
He feels both humbled and honored, as well as prepared, to accept the task at hand, he said during Thursday's conference call.
In an interview with Mustang Daily, UCR Academic Senate chair Jose Wudka described White as "thoughtful and very much concerned in the institution … with no personal agenda."
Wudka, who has served in his position since the beginning of September, has worked directly with White since becoming chair of the university's academic senate. He said during his first one-on-one meeting with White, the chancellor left the "best impression possible" on him.
Wudka also worked with White after January protests about tuition raises at UCR pit police against students. White established a task force to examine freedom of speech and assembly with Wudka as its leader. The task force, Wudka said, was a reactive measure by the chancellor to the protests, which escalated to at least one police officer firing a paint-filled bullet into a crowd of students.
"His position, in my interpretation, is there are certain circumstances where police is needed but there should be a clear line of command," Wudka said. "And that line of command should not be through police, but it should be by the chancellor."
The UCR protests came just two months after police used pepper spray to clear out protesters at a CSU Board of Trustees meeting in Long Beach. The protests were the result of a trustee vote to raise student tuition by approximately $500.
White's own experience at UCR equipped him for the larger challenge of leading the CSU, he said Thursday.
"Our student body at UC Riverside is really a microcosm of the California State University student body," White said.
Timothy White, the University of California, Riverside (UCR) chancellor, will replace California State University (CSU) Chancellor Charles Reed in December, the CSU announced Thursday morning.
White has served as chancellor at UCR since 2008, during which time he raised enrollment, added the new UC Riverside School of Medicine and announced the new School of Public Policy, according to UCR's news release on White's appointment.
White is saddened to leave UCR, but looking forward to guiding the CSU during a time when education is threatened by budget shortfalls, according to the UCR release.
"I feel this is a tremendous opportunity for me to try to do more for higher education in this state, at a time that is both precarious and potentially transformative. It is an opportunity to affect the futures of some 430,000 CSU students, and those yet to come," White wrote in a letter to the CSU.
Reed announced his retirement last May, kicking off a summer search for a new chancellor. White will take his place in December, and an interim chancellor will be appointed to take White's place at UCR, according to the release.
Victoria Billings and Sean McMinn contributed to this report.

Echo Arena Boxing Odds for Saturday – Bellew Defends WBC Cruiserweight Belt
mmaoddsbreaker.com > Articles > Boxing > Echo Arena Boxing Odds for Saturday – Bellew Defends WBC Cruiserweight Belt
This coming Saturday, October 15th at the Echo Arena in Liverpool, England, WBC world cruiserweight champion Tony Bellew (27-2-1) defends his belt against BJ Flores (32-2-1) atop a big 12-fight boxing card promoted by Eddie Hearn and Matchroom Boxing. The fights are set to air on SKY TV in the U.K. The hometown product in Bellew is coming in as a massive -1375 favorite (bet $1,375 to win $100) over Flores, who is returning at +900 (bet $100 to win $900). The over/under for the 12-round bout has been set at 8 1/2, with the over paying -230 and the under at +170. Bellew is making the first title defense of the belt he captured this past May when he stopped South Africa's Ilunga Makabu in the third round. Since taking a November of 2013 loss to Adonis Stevenson for the WBC's world title at light heavyweight, Bellew moved up to the cruiserweight division and has since gone 7-0. His only other loss was also in a world title fight, when he lost a close majority decision to fellow countryman Nathan Cleverly with the WBO's strap on the line. Bellew was able to avenge the loss to Cleverly during his run at cruiserweight, and Cleverly has since returned to light heavyweight and won a world title again. Bellew has been trash talking about a big fight, especially calling out heavyweight David Haye, so it is a bit dissappointing that he is facing an unranked, relatively inactive opponent in his first defense. In Flores, he faces a 37-year-old veteran who has fought just one time in the last 15 months, winning a UD in a six round bout on May 21st. Prior to that, he lost a fight for an Interim WBA title against Beibut Shumenov. The line reflects Bellew as a wide favorite. The WBC Silver belt is also on the line, as titleholder Luke Campbell (14-1) defends his title against veteran Derry Mathews (38-10-2). Campbell enters the 12-round showdown as a -525 favorite, with Mathews returning at +415. Campbell is a gold medalist from England's 2012 Olympic team, and he is making the first defense of the WBC silver belt he won in his last outing by UD over Argenis Mendez (23-4-1). The southpaw's lone loss came to the experienced Yvan Mendy of France (32-4-1) via split decision, and he has gone 2-0 since that fight. Mathews is coming off a 12-round decision loss to Terry Flanagan for the WBO world title this past March, and at 33 years old, he will throw a lot of experience and ring savvy at Campbell in this one. The over/under for this bout was set at 9 1/2, with both the over and the under paying back at -120. It bears noting that Mathews, for all his grit, has been stopped seven times in his career, and Campbell has 11 KOs among his 14 wins. Additonal fights are on the card are getting lines at the sports books. Check back closer to fight time to see if any additional fights from the card have popped up. Bantamweight – 12 rounds – BBBofC British Title
Ryan Farrag +475 Ryan Burnett -650—Lightweight – 10 rounds
Gary Sykes +265 Sean Dodd -325 NOTE: Dodd defending his WBC International title, will enter the fight favored over Italy's Francesco Patera (16-1). The original opponent was Gary Sykes, and Patera will enter a much wider underdog than Sykes was for this one.

Home/Sports/Top Bowling Performances Of Chris Morris In IPL Matches: Great Entertainer
Top Bowling Performances Of Chris Morris In IPL Matches: Great Entertainer
Even though they do not have any trophies to show for it, South Africa has always had players who could win games and has been a formidable opponent on the biggest stages in cricket. This is even though they do not have any trophies to show for it. Chris Morris is the most recent athlete in a long line of athletes who have contributed to the successes of their teams with their ability as hitters as well as pitchers. He's also shown he's got some arm in the throwing department.
According to ipl today latest news, Morris has demonstrated that he is an extremely important player in the Indian Premier League for all three of the teams that he has played for: the Rajasthan Royals, the Delhi Daredevils, and the Chennai Super Kings. His skills with the bat and the ball have made him an asset to all three of these teams.
4-0-40-3 vs Royal Challengers Bangalore (2013) –
The bowling performance that Chris Morris turned in for Chennai Super Kings against Royal Challengers Bangalore in 2013 is the finest of the five best bowling performances that he has turned in throughout his time playing in the Indian Premier League. When RCB batted first, both Virat Kohli and AB de Villiers reached a score of fifty, which contributed to the team's overall score of 165 for six wickets. After four overs, Morris ended with a score of 3/40. During the RCB innings, he was responsible for three of the six wickets that were taken. He was successful in dismissing Chris Gayle, Virat Kohli, and Dan Christian. He did this by eliminating all of them from contention in the game. The answer from CSK did not get off to a good start, but the middle order accomplished some significant things that ultimately contributed to the yellow team winning (with the winning runs coming off the penultimate ball).
4-0-35-2 vs Gujarat Lions (2016) –
In 2016, Chris Morris turned in one of the best five bowling performances of his Indian Premier League career as he faced off against the Gujarat Lions. After the first pair of batters for Gujarat had achieved 112 runs, Morris and his squad came in and took five wickets in 30 runs. This happened after Gujarat's first pair of batsmen had scored 112 runs. In the end, Morris was successful in acquiring two wickets and only allowed 35 runs to be scored throughout his four overs of bowling. Both Brendon McCullum and Suresh Raina were vital members of the batting lineup, but both of them were dismissed. The South African batsman was the man of the match even though he batted last since he scored an unbelievable 82 runs off of only 32 balls. His incredible score consisted of four fours and eight sixes altogether. In the end, it was unfortunate for Delhi because they came so close to winning by only missing out on one run.
3-0-22-3 vs Sunrisers Hyderabad (2019) –
Chris Morris bowled five of his greatest games in the Indian Premier League during the match between the Delhi Capitals and the Sunrisers Hyderabad in 2019. This match was part of the 2019 season. When it was Delhi's turn to bat, they scored 155 runs in 20 overs, which is a score that can be considered to be quite respectable. SRH had scored 71 runs and appeared to be in control of their batting before they lost their first wicket. SRH's batting was in a good position before they lost their first wicket. After that, however, the bowlers from Delhi began to exert a great deal of pressure on the batting order of SRH, which resulted in a decrease in the number of runs scored. Kagiso Rabada was the one who took the initial moves in the right direction, and then Morris and Keemo Paul stepped in to finish things off. After Deepak Hooda, Abhishek Sharma, and Rashid Khan were all dismissed by Morris in a short amount of time, the SRH innings collapsed rapidly. They were all out for 116 by the time the 19th over had ended. In a relatively short length of time, Deepak Hooda, Abhishek Sharma, and Rashid Khan were all eliminated from the competition.
Chris Morris ranked one of the matches between the Sunrisers Hyderabad and the Delhi Daredevils as one of the top five bowling matches of his whole career. This match took place in Hyderabad. The contest that was supposed to take place between those two teams took place. 2017 was the year that witnessed this particular occurrence. The batting order for SRH was responsible for 189 runs scored in 20 overs. Kane Williamson amassed 89 runs, while Shikhar Dhawan and Dhawan each scored 70 runs. Williamson's total score was 89. Even though SRH's score was so big, Morris performed admirably by claiming four wickets while allowing only 26 runs to pass throughout his four overs. During the first half of the innings, the first four people to be dismissed were David Warner, Shikhar Dhawan, Kane Williamson, and Yuvraj Singh. It's exciting to hear their name being read out loud. Even though Morris pitched quite well in the second inning, his side still ended up losing by a score of 15 runs.
4-0-23-4 vs Kolkata Knight Riders (2015) –
In the 2015 season of the Indian Premier League, Morris bowled exceptionally well for Rajasthan Royals against Kolkata Knight Riders. This performance was his finest of the year. The magnificent century that Shane Watson scored was a significant contributor to the Royals reaching 199 for 6 in only 20 overs. In retaliation, KKR displayed behaviors that suggested they desired to engage in combat; however, Morris and the rest of his team were successful in preventing them from doing so. A bowler from South Africa put an end to the innings of Andre Russell, Suryakumar Yadav, and Shakib Al Hasan in rapid succession after Gautam Gambhir was run out without scoring any runs. Because of this, KKR was unable to achieve its objective.

Much A-Stew About NothingSt. David's Hall, Cardiff September 2013 ★★★★
By Noel Gardner in Buzzmag Posted on Tuesday, September 17th, 2013
The semi-apologetic nature of much of Stewart Lee's latest set, in which he ambles through three half-hour TV episodes' worth of new material before finishing with a supposedly optional 30 minutes of fully unpasteurised fodder partly read from notes, is by no means unique among standup comedians. Comedy clubs and similar venues will often function as a safe haven for some famous gag behemoth to try out new stuff in sort-of secret, without knobheads who come along to shout the catchphrases. This show isn't secret, it's in a big and healthily-sold venue, and it's called Much Astew About Nothing, which is a somewhat crap and dashed-off title but no worse than those unwieldy Rhod Gilbert type ones or DVDs with titles like Live And Laughing.
Stewart Lee can get away with selling this as a 'proper' show because the disjointed, self-analytical nature of the beast is intrinsic to what he does. If he just did jokes – most of his jokes are belters, and if we don't laugh enough at one he deems a belter we get to hear about it – he'd be less popular with his live audience, although he'd also anger less internet commenters. A lot of tonight's material is political: from Thatcher's death to the modern Labour Party's atrophying of their ideals to a long absurdist routine about UKIP's immigration rhetoric to racist taxi drivers to a brilliant bit about campaigning to keep open a jazz club in Hackney. (Stew tries to get his black neighbour onside by noting that jazz is an historically black musical form; she replies, "yes, but not the sort that you like.")
A comic who was schooled amidst the 'alternative comedy' boom of the 80s, the endlessly self-aware Lee knows that even among a four-figure crowd of people who likely have similar ethics to you, being politically earnest in your routine can spell death. Thus, he gets to have his cake and eat it, delivering the firebrand stuff but pulling away the rug before po-facedness threatens. Not that this stops people applauding things which aren't even jokes, just opinions they agree with.
The second part of the show, following an initial half-hour and an interval, delves into unusually personal territory – the non-fantastical parts, at least. The phrase "impotent vasectomised functioning alcoholic 45-year-old father of two" is the crux of the issue: Lee has rendered himself unable to further spawn, and spends much of his day listlessly childcaring and handling the fallout of his bigoted drunk Irish wife. (The audience should be credited here for playing along with this, despite presumably knowing it's an oblique reference to recent Foster's award winner Bridget Christie. No-one shouts out a bit off the telly, either.)
A fair bit of the final stretch is partially reworked material from last year's Carpet Remnant World set, including bits about Scooby Doo and the very final joke, concerning his grandfather's biggest regret. Parts of it should be on a BBC2 near you early next year, and should maintain the sort of loyal-without-being-whoopingly-servile audience that makes a notionally half-arsed show in front of 1,400 people an actual good thing.

This locally-owned, classic fashion boutique has been packing closets and stacking shoe racks since 2009. Opened by the entrepreneurial, sibling tag-team of Helen Wade-Joice and her little brother, Ian Wade, Fresh is an incredible representation of SLC's local flavor. This family knows style, they know the dream, and they're working hard for it. Helen and Ian make it easy to keep things local; I love knowing that the hand I put my cash into is attached to the smiling face that's going to keep it. I'd rather contribute to Ian's snowboarding fund, or a crib for Helen's upcoming baby with my new Ambiguous tee purchase. It's what being local is all about.
Fresh has no employees; like the mafia, they keep it in the family. When they both want to slip out of town, friends and customers run the store. There is a new employee in the making; as soon as she's born, I'm sure she'll be happy to show you around the shop.
Come by...check out the clothes and the local art, chat it up. And the next time you hear someone scream "Don't get fresh with me!" you can scoff and know that who ever they are, they couldn't possibly know good fashion.
