Go Daddy hires former Microsoft and Yahoo exec Blake Irving as next CEO
Just in time to stand behind what will undoubtedly be the most grotesque Super Bowl ad of the 2013 contest, Blake Irving is taking the top seat over at Go Daddy. The infamous, flip-flopping domain registrar has confirmed that Irving will begin duties as CEO starting January 7th of next year, succeeding interim CEO Scott Wagner. Prior to this, Irving spent a grand total of 15 years in various hallways at Microsoft, most recently as Corporate Vice President of the Windows Live Platform. He also served as the Chief Product Officer at Yahoo, while he presently serves on the Board of GolfLogix. Mum's the word on whether or not his introductory video will be too risque for American television.

Canonical founder hopes Ubuntu on mobile devices will lure more desktop users
Canonical's already announced its intentions of putting Ubuntu on mobile devices, but founder Mark Shuttleworth's given us a bit more insight into the firm's strategy in a Slashdot Q&A. In addition to reiterating their focus to put Ubuntu on smartphones, tablets and everything from the "embedded world to the cloud," Shuttleworth revealed that Canonical hopes to play the Trojan horse card when it comes to the OS on mobile devices. "If we can get PC buyers familiar with Ubuntu as a phone and tablet experience, then they may be more willing [to] buy it on the PC too," says the company's founder. However, Canonical won't be luring users to the Linux-based OS through mobile devices till at least April 2014, when the 14.04 LTS release officially launches.

The 10 Best Indie Games for the Holiday Season
1. Torchlight 2
The fantasy-RPG sequel to the wildly popular 2009 game Torchlight, Runic Games' latest installment in the franchise, doesn't mess with its recipe too much. And in this case, that's a big positive. Part steam-punk treasure hunt, part magic-heavy flight of fancy, Torchlight 2 capitalizes on the fast-paced, action-filled environment crafted by the designers of Diablo, Diablo 2 and Fate. Expect a lot of loot-grabbing from this game, as a bulk of the fun takes place in expansive and randomly generated cave systems practically filled to the brim with treasure and fancy equipment for your specific character class. Torchlight 2 really gilds the lily with a long-awaited and happily embraced local LAN option ? meaning you can raid dungeons with three of your closest friends. This makes the experience, for the first time, a cooperative one, and has been one of the best new features. This game is really a continuation of that old-school play style seen in the previous Diablo installments, so if solo (or small group) hunting is your thing, download away. Price: $19.99 on Steam Platform: Windows

GOP senators press Obama official on FHA losses
WASHINGTON (AP) -- Republican senators are pressing the U.S. government's housing official to take steps to shore up the federal agency that insures mortgages for millions of borrowers. An audit shows the agency faces $16.3 billion in losses and might require a taxpayer bailout.
Shaun Donovan, secretary of housing and urban development, said Thursday at a hearing of the Senate Banking Committee that the agency, the Federal Housing Administration, has already taken action to strengthen its finances.
Republican senators said more must be done, such as ending the FHA's backing of reverse mortgages. They said the FHA has sustained big losses from defaults on those loans, which allow homeowners age 62 or older to borrow against their home's equity. They also urged reducing the maximum amounts of mortgages that can be insured by the FHA.
The independent audit showed that the FHA's estimated losses were steeper than earlier projections. High numbers of mortgage defaults triggered by the housing crisis have reduced the agency's reserve funds, it showed. Mortgages insured by the FHA that were issued in 2007 and 2008 caused a major part of the losses, Donovan said.
There is "clear potential now for a taxpayer bailout," said Sen. David Vitter, R-La.
The agency has expanded so-called short sales ? when a home sells for less than what is owed on the mortgage. And it has raised annual insurance premiums paid by FHA borrowers by an average of $13 a month.
"Based on those steps, I believe we have significantly decreased the chance of having a bailout at the end of 2013," Donovan said.
But Sen. Richard Shelby of Alabama, the committee's senior Republican, said the agency must do more.
"It is time for serious reform of the FHA before it needs a taxpayer bailout, if it isn't too late already."
Donovan agreed the changes would be helpful. But he said that HUD lacks the legal authority to make those changes in the FHA's operations and Congress would have to revise the law to make it possible.

When drugs for depression fail, talking therapies help
LONDON (Reuters) - Patients with depression who fail to benefit from antidepressant drugs may do better if they are also treated with a type of "talking" psychotherapy called CBT, according to new research published on Friday.
In the first large-scale trial to test the effectiveness of cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, alongside medication for depression, scientists said they found that the combination works where drug treatment alone fails.
Nicola Wiles of Bristol University's school of social and community medicine, who led the study, said the findings underline the need to increase the availability of therapy for depressed patients.
"While there have been initiatives to increase access to CBT in both the UK and Australia, worldwide initiatives are rare," she said in a statement.
Wiles and colleagues recruited 469 adults from across Britain who had not responded to at least 6 weeks of treatment with an antidepressant. For the study, 235 patients continued with their usual antidepressant medication, while 234 patients got their usual care plus CBT and were followed up for 12 months.
The results, published in The Lancet medical journal, showed that after 6 months, 46 percent of those who got CBT as well as their usual care had improved - reporting at least a 50 percent reduction in their depressive symptoms. This compared to 22 percent of those who did not get CBT.
Patients treated with CBT, which involves talking through behaviors and ways of thinking with a trained psychotherapist or psychologist, were also more likely to go into remission and have fewer symptoms of anxiety, the researchers said. Similar effects were reported at 12 months.
Major depression affects around 20 percent of people at some point in their lives. The World Health Organization (WHO)predicts that by 2020, depression will rival heart disease as the health disorder with the highest global disease burden.
While there are many antidepressants on the market, including top sellers such as Prozac and Seroxat, it is widely accepted that many antidepressants work in only half of patients half of the time, and drugmakers are struggling to come up with a new generation of drugs in this field.
Willem Kuyken, a clinical psychology professor at Exeter University who also worked on the study, said its results showed that doctors and patients should be looking beyond drugs.
"This trial provides further evidence that psychological treatments like cognitive therapy can provide substantive and lasting help to people who suffer depression," he said.
Wiles added, however, that even in wealthy countries such as Britain, where there has been a recent push to invest more into psychological therapies, many people who have not responded to antidepressants still don't get the chance of trying intensive CBT that take between 12 and 18 sessions.
In the United States, only about a quarter of people with depression have received any form of psychological therapy in the last 12 months, she said.

Blue Light Therapy for Skin Pre-Cancer / Cancer - The Hull Truth ...

| ? Join Date: Aug 2005 Location: Venice, Florida Posts: 11,054 | This morning I underwent blue therapy for skin cancer. I have had numerous basil cell, squamous cell, and actinic keratosis removed starting when I was 33 years old. I arrived at the office at 8am and they washed my face with acetone. This wasn't as bad as it sounds but I clue to what I was in for over the next two hours! After cleaning my face, they applied a cream which then had to soak in for two hours. I waited in a nice waiting room where they had snacks, drinks, TV, etc. and watched some Springer to make me feel better about MY life  After two hours of basting, they took me too a room where I underwent the blue light exposure. This "activates" the chemical in the cream which destroys the cancer cells, even the ones you cannot yet see. This is where the "fun" really begins! The assistant tells me I will feel a tingling sensation as they put this big machine with light tubes around my head and fire it up. TINGLING? Within about 30 seconds we were well beyond tingling! Those crazy bitches need to try this thing out for themselves before using it on other people and telling them there will be a "tingling" sensation. For all you cops and criminals on THT, at first it was like getting pepper sprayed. That lasted a few minutes and then it was just plain painful. Like having your face sand blasted with molten hot lava sand? I have pretty fair, sensitive skin so maybe worse for some than other but it really sucked. After 6 minutes they told me I ONLY had another 10 minutes left and I about pooped and cried all at the same time. I thought the tears might actually cool my face somewhat though. After the half way point of 8 minutes the burn became a little more tolerable. When it was done, they washed the area again, applied sunscreen, and sent me home. I have to stay in the house (no sunlight) for 48 hours. My face is very red and looks like I have a bad sunburn. Since I reacted pretty strongly to the treatment, I will probably peel but the areas with cancers will scab over and heal. It should leave no scars. It still burns pretty bad like the worst sunburn I have ever had and I have a pretty good headache going. I will update as things progress....

 The Dr. told me that once there are a whole bunch of them on somebody's face, the only way to do it properly is that light treatment. Otherwise, freeze marks all over for what he can see, and what he can't see (yet) come right through over time. I was planning to work this afternoon, but after seeing those shots, I think I'll drink instead! | |
