Green Tea Can Help Overcome Skin Cancer | Shop Parish

Fear of getting skin cancer? You can handle the benefits of green tea. The scientists found that green tea can help overcome skin cancer. The team from the University of Strathclyde explained that 40 percent of the tumors disappear by using a compound called epigallocatechin gallate.

Green tea does have anti-cancer properties, and this extract has been studied for a long time. However, researchers have only just managed to cure the tumor with the benefits of green tea. This was indicated by the laboratory tests in people affected by skin cancer. Cured of their cancer by 40 percent after one month of treatment with the green tea.

?This result is good news for us and hope to be a new alternative treatment to fight skin cancer,? said Dr. Christine Dufes, as the head of research at the same time senior lecturer at the Strathclyde Institute of Pharmacy and Biomedical Sciences, was quoted as saying by the Times of India.

Dufes also explained that the method of using green tea extract helps reduce tumor size every day. In fact, in some cases, patient?s tumors completely disappeared. This study had been published in the journal Nanomedicine.

According to doctors Dufes, green tea extract can cure skin cancer patients intravenously carried throughout the body. When it reached the nest cancer, the benefits of green tea will shrink the deadly disease.

?The system of ?targeted delivery system?, hjau tea extract taken directly to the tumor without any side effects that can affect other tissues,? said Dufes.

So let?s drink green tea, because?Green Tea Can Help Overcome Skin Cancer.

PFT: Jets end TD drought without Sanchez, Tebow

Getty Images

Eagles owner Jeffrey Lurie put coach Andy Reid on the clearest possible notice on Thursday.? In a calm, matter-of-fact tone, Lurie made it clear that the 2012 season could be Reid?s final season in Philadelphia.

After Thursday night?s preseason game against the Jets, Reid took the remarks in stride.

?I?m not worried about it,? Reid said, via Geoff Mosher of CSNPhilly.com.? ?I understand the business.? I have a very good relationship with Jeffrey [Lurie], so we go play.? I?m not worried about all that stuff.?

Lurie?s comments came less than three weeks after Reid?s agent, Bob LaMonte, told reporters that Lurie has said Reid will coach the team as long as Lurie owns it.? Reid reportedly disagreed with LaMonte?s comments, but we?ve reported the the Eagles believe that LaMonte was speaking for Reid when LaMonte said what he said.

?I don?t even care about that,? Reid said Thursday night regarding his contract. ?I care about this football team and winning games now and playing well and working hard.? That stuff, that?s not on my mind.?

What is on his mind is finishing better than 8-8, something Lurie said would have to happen in 2012 for Reid to return, barring possibly an extended rash of injuries.

?We surely wouldn?t be satisfied with 8-8,? Reid said.? ?I know we?re striving for far better than that.? I think that?s the most important thing.? I?m not sitting here and telling you that?s where I want to be.?

But if that?s where he is, Philadelphia most likely isn?t where Reid will be next year.

One small step: Was Neil Armstrong misquoted?

The millions worldwide who watched the Apollo moon landing in 1969 heard Commander Neil Armstrong say, rather ungrammatically,?"That's one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind." But a 2006 analysis of the audio indicates that the astronaut did not omit the definite article.

By Life's Little Mysteries Staff,?Life's Little Mysteries / August 27, 2012

On July 20, 1969, Apollo 11 astronaut Neil Armstrong became the first man to walk on the moon. Armstrong is pictured here, shortly after collecting a sample of lunar dust and rocks. At his feet is the handle for the sample collection tool.

NASA/Andy Chaikin/collectSPACE.com

Upon taking a "small step" onto the surface of the moon in 1969, Neil Armstrong uttered what would become one of history's most famous one-liners. But strangely, what he actually said is far from clear.

Relive the moment when humanity took its giant leap forward.

Listeners back on Earth heard, "That's one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind." But?Armstrong, who died Saturday?(Aug. 25) at the age of 82, maintained afterwards that he actually said something slightly different: "That's one small step for?a?man..."

"It's just that people just didn't hear [the 'a']," Armstrong told the press after the Apollo 11 mission.

That little indefinite article makes a big difference, semantically speaking. Without it, "man" abstractly represents all of humanity, just like "mankind." Thus, the quote is essentially, ''That's one small step for mankind, one giant leap for mankind."?[Listen to 'One Small Step' Quote]

Despite his initial adamance that he got the grammar right by including the indefinite article, Armstrong acknowledged at a 30-year anniversary event in 1999 that he couldn't hear himself utter the "a" in the audio recording of his moonwalk transmission, according to the?Associated Press.

But then, in 2006, computer programmer Peter Shann Ford might have?vindicated Armstrong.

Ford downloaded the audio recording of the moon man's words from a NASA website and analyzed the statement with software that allows disabled people to communicate via computers using their nerve impulses.

In a graphical representation of sound waves of the famous sentence, Ford said he found evidence that the missing "a" had been spoken after all: It was a 35-millisecond-long bump of sound between "for" and "man" that would have been too brief for human ears to hear.

"I have reviewed the data and Peter Ford's analysis of it, and I find the technology interesting and useful," Armstrong said in a statement. ''I also find his conclusion persuasive. Persuasive is the appropriate word."

And so was "a," whether spoken or not.

Metabolism in the brain fluctuates with circadian rhythm

ScienceDaily (Aug. 28, 2012) ? The rhythm of life is driven by the cycles of day and night, and most organisms carry in their cells a common, (roughly) 24-hour beat. In animals, this rhythm emerges from a tiny brain structure called the suprachiasmatic nucleus (SCN) in the hypothalamus. Take it out of the brain and keep it alive in a lab dish and this "brain clock" will keep on ticking, ramping up or gearing down production of certain proteins at specific times of the day, day after day.

A new study reveals that the brain clock itself is driven, in part, by metabolism, the production and flow of chemical energy in cells. The researchers focused primarily on a phenomenon known as "redox" in tissues of the SCN from the brains of rats and mice.

Redox represents the energy changes of cellular metabolism (usually through the transfer of electrons). When a molecule gains one or more electrons, scientists call it a reduction; when it loses electrons, they say it is oxidized. These redox reactions, the researchers found, oscillate on a 24-hour cycle in the brain clock, and literally open and close channels of communication in brain cells.

They report their findings in the journal Science, which also wrote a Perspective on the research. "The language of the brain is electrical; it determines what kind of signals one part of the brain sends to the other cells in its tissue, as well as the other parts of the brain nearby," said University of Illinois cell and developmental biology professor Martha Gillette, who led the study. "The fundamental discovery here is that there is an intrinsic oscillation in metabolism in the clock region of the brain that takes place without external intervention. And this change in metabolism determines the excitable state of that part of the brain."

The new findings alter basic assumptions about how the brain works, Gillette said.

"Basically, the idea has always been that metabolism is serving brain function. What we're showing is metabolism is part of brain function," she said. "Our study implies that changes in cellular metabolic state could be a cause, rather than a result, of neuronal activity."

The study team also included graduate student Yanxun Yu, postdoctoral researcher Gubbi Govindaiah, graduate student Xiaoying Ye, graduate student Liana Artinian, electrical and computer engineering professor Todd Coleman, chemistry professor Jonathan Sweedler and pharmacology professor Charles Cox. Gillette, Govindaiah, Ye, Sweedler and Cox also are affiliates of the Beckman Institute at Illinois.

Ryan opposed new, Obama-backed disaster aid regime

WASHINGTON (AP) ? As tropical storm Isaac bears down on the Gulf Coast, there should be plenty of money ? some $1.5 billion ? in federal disaster aid coffers, thanks, in part, to a new system that budgets help for victims of hurricanes, tornadoes and floods before they occur.

It's a system that Paul Ryan, the Republican nominee-to-be for vice president, had hoped to scrap as a way to make his House GOP budget look smaller by about $10 billion a year. Politely, party elders told him no way, at least for now.

The Obama administration was the driving force behind the new disaster funding scheme and made it part of last summer's hard-fought budget pact, even though President Barack Obama himself had given short shrift to budgeting for disasters prior to a spate of them early last year, including tornadoes that ripped through Missouri and Alabama.

Congresses and administrations, after all, always had been fairly forthcoming with whatever disaster aid was needed after the fact.

The new system means disaster aid will not have to compete with other programs for financing, nor have to rely on less certain ad hoc funding at the height of a crisis.

Instead, disaster money was added on top of the official budget "cap" in line with the amounts budgeted in prior years.

It had been a different story earlier in the year as the government's chief disaster fund almost ran dry, thanks to foot-dragging by the White House and demands by tea party House Republicans that disaster aid be partly "paid for" with cuts to programs that Obama favored. The administration instead let the political pressure build as disaster accounts dwindled, sparking the ire of both his GOP rivals and allies like Sen. Mary Landrieu, D-La., but turning the tables in its favor.

Months after agreeing to the new regime, Republican leaders still had to turn to procedural maneuvers to orchestrate passage of $8.8 billion in disaster money in keeping with the agreement. Ryan, the House Budget Committee's chairman, was among 66 Republicans opposing the measure.

But, as has been proven time after time ? especially as tornadoes and hurricanes rip through politically conservative states ? even the sturdiest tea party supporters like the government when it comes to doling out money to storm victims for motels and other temporary housing and to help with house repairs.

Simply put, when disaster strikes, politicians respond ? sometimes to the dismay of conservatives who see politicians milking disasters to win projects that couldn't fly on their own, like Mississippi Republican Sen. Thad Cochran's failed bid six years ago for $700 million to relocate a rail line along the Gulf Coast so his state could build a new east-west highway.

The new system makes it more difficult for lawmakers to try such maneuvers, though such "pork barrel" tactics largely have been halted anyway with the GOP takeover of the House, with Republicans instituting a ban on so-called earmarks.

Many House Republicans, however, are unhappy with the new approach. Ryan earlier this year tried to gut it and eliminate $10 billion a year in disaster costs when putting together the House GOP budget.

But in doing so Ryan sideswiped a still-powerful Appropriations Committee that was still stinging from $19 billion in Budget Committee-induced cuts to last year's deal. Appropriations Committee Chairman Harold Rogers, R-Ky., protested to GOP leaders and won a gentleman's agreement that the new system would stay in place, at least for this year.

However, Ryan's point of view might still prevail if Mitt Romney defeats Obama in November.

What Ryan proposes is that when disaster strikes, lawmakers scour the rest of the budget for savings to pay for rebuilding homes, roads and schools and helping small businesses. Put another way, instead of being an excuse to increase spending, disasters would offer an opportunity to make further cuts elsewhere in the government.

That's easier said than done. The portion of the budget that would face cuts ? the day-to-day operating expenses for federal agencies ? already has absorbed several rounds of cuts under GOP control of the House and faces almost a decade's worth of tight limits under last year's budget deal.

And should a huge disaster like Hurricane Katrina hit, it's simply unrealistic to find cuts of the magnitude required. Katrina ended up costing taxpayers more than $60 billion. Much of that money was approved when images of hurricane victims were still fresh in the minds of lawmakers and voters and as the George W. Bush administration continued to reel from its initial botched response.

It's also easier to summon the political fortitude to demand that disaster relief be paid for when the area you represent hasn't been hit. In particularly bad disaster years, political pressure accumulates as the toll of Midwestern floods, Southern tornadoes and coastal storms is felt by more and more voters and their representatives.

That's exactly what happened last year in the wake of Hurricane Irene, which prompted liberals like Rep. Peter Welch, D-Vt., and tea party-backed Republicans like Rep. Nan Hayworth of New York to form a coalition to press for aid.

Samsung enters advertising market with small-bezel and transparent displays

Mad Men marathons aside, it's rare that we dream of a career in advertising, but Samsung's latest pair of commercial displays have turned our head. The Korean giant has developed a 21.6-inch, 1:1 ratio ("square" to us normals) display with a 5.5mm bezel that can be used to develop video walls, installations or 3D sculptures. It's reportedly far more environmentally friendly than whacking a TV on your showroom wall, drawing 30 percent less power and auto-adjusting its own brightness depending on the ambient light.

It's also unveiling the NL22B, a transparent LCD screen / case that builds on the see-through tech we saw at CES. The interactive display is designed to let you see facts and figures while keeping one eye on the merchandise at all times. It's imagined to be used in high-class jewelers, using interactivity to tease us toward buying that $4,000 watch. Both are being shown at IFA this week, but don't expect to see them available to buy -- so stash those dreams of covering every wall in house with these things, at least until you own your own advertising firm.

Sunday Sound: Heard on 'This Week'

Below are some of the notable comments made Sunday on "This Week with George Stephanopoulos." Guests included Virginia Gov. Bob McDonnell, chairman of the Republican Platform Committee; Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa, chairman of the Democratic National Convention; ABC News' George Will; Rep. Donna Edwards, D-Md.; former Michigan Gov. Jennifer Granholm, host of Current TV's "The War Room"; Republican strategist Mary Matalin; and FOX News anchor Greta Van Susteren.

Governor Bob McDonnell

MCDONNELL: I would say that Governor Crist's endorsement adds one more vote in Florida, and that's it. He is wrong on every other point.

MCDONNELL: It's a general proposition to say we support human life. The rest of those details are up to the states and the people respectively, George, and that's simply not covered. It's something up to Congress and the states.

Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa

VILLARAIGOSA: With respect to the plank, I think Governor Crist said it very well, and that it is what it is. And maybe it's been there for 30 years. But it's time to take it out. The idea that we put in our U.S. Constitution an amendment that says that women can't get an abortion even in the case of incest and rape is way beyond the mainstream.

VILLARAIGOSA: The Romney/Ryan budget would extend the deficit 29 years. We wouldn't solve this deficit problem. The Romney/Ryan plan isn't the way to address the deficit, is not the way to address the economy. It will actually put us backward when you talk about the unemployment rate.

Powerhouse Roundtable

George Will

WILL: The ultimate irony of premium support is, it's a back-door, surreptitious way to begin the means testing entitlement programs, that is, to make the rich play more, is making it more progressive.

WILL: You young people, all five of you, don't have one of these yet. This is a Medicare card, which I got six years ago. I showed it to my doctor, he said, that's wonderful, George, now, we'll send the bills to your children. Now that's a funny way to run the state.

Mary Matalin

MATALIN: You know why I'm shaking my head? Because the Democratic gender gap with men is as great as the gender gap with women.

MATALIN: Let me tell you about Paul Ryan. He has the earnestness and the enthusiasm and the vigor of a young person, but he has an old soul, which means you're wise and responsible. So he does project maturity. He is an intellectual at the center of the House. He is the only one with ideas on the table. And he has done a lot for the ticket.

Jennifer Granholm

GRANHOLM: Romney is in a position of having to distance himself from his own platform. And it gets to the issue, the fundamental issue is, what kind of leader is he? Is he going to embrace what the Republican Party is all about, or is he going to flee from it? Choosing Ryan, I think, was his answer.

GRANHOLM: Mitt Romney has put a guy in congress who's been in charge of the obstruction of congress. So the president can point to them and say, they are the solution, they have caused the problem.

Rep. Donna Edwards

EDWARDS: But I think the problem that Mitt Romney has is that the things that people know about Mitt Romney, they don't like. The problem is the policy agenda for Mitt Romney that is saying to middle-class families, sorry, but you're on your own.

EDWARDS: There's a lot at stake for young people in this election. It's true, many of them have moved back home with their parents. But they're also drowning under a sea college loan debt. And they see that President Obama has actually been the one to put forward a plan for college students

Greta Van Susteren

VAN SUSTEREN: Everyone knows that there is a problem with Medicare. Every single person knows that it's just not sustainable. And the one thing is the American people want some ideas, they don't want to be told, oh, it's going to be OK. They don't want the talk. They want to see something is being done, a start - a program out there. I don't know if Paul Ryan has the best program out there, but he has got one on the table.

VAN SUSTEREN: In order to sell us on some big change economically, he has got to at least have a little bit of production record. And that stimulus bill, we all hoped that it would be like - you know, we all wanted the economy to go well, it just didn't quite work out that way.

Third Party in Missouri?

STEPHANOPOULOS: He mostly wants it to go away, Mary Matalin. And we're seeing Todd Akin - George thinks he might get out. I got that same sense while I interviewed the congressman this week, but since then he's dug in a couple of times. We have a new poll out this morning. He's now down nine points to Claire McCaskill in the Missouri race he was winning.

MATALIN: George, he may dug in, but he's not going to have a shovel to continuing digging. Because he's not going to have any money. George Will is right. We need to win Missouri. We're going to win Missouri. Ann Wagner is going to end up being our candidate. The party is going to get Ann Wagner in.

STEPHANOPOULOS: So you're just convinced that he's going to get out?

MATALIN: Or we'll run a third party, we'll run a write-in. We can do it. We have the money to do it. We are going to transfer the money. It's not as easy as - but it's a good state for Romney. And we'll get it back.
