The party dresses offered by New Look will showcase the season's starry-eyed obsession with glimmering gowns, perfect for the party season. The focus will be on the creativity behind each outfit. It's a chance for bloggers to reveal their stylish skills and for the female shape to take centre stage in all its fabulous forms.

All entrants are asked to do is leave their names, main contact email address and URL of their blog post in the comments section below.

Getting social is a large part of this competition - sharing and swapping inspiration builds colour and life to all outfits. To keep the buzz back and forth, entrants can use the hashtag #NLBloggercomp to promote their entry.

Frivilous Lawsuit Backfires Big Time

2012-11-27

Sarasota attorney Dennis Plews and his clients, a Bradenton woman and an Osprey man, are facing hundreds of thousands of dollars in sanctions and costs from the former Chief Circuit Judge in Sarasota. Judge Lee Haworth ruled that a lawsuit Plews filed against Jeffrey Luhrsen in 2009 was "grasping at air," and ordered Plews to personally pay Luhrsen's attorney's fees, which court papers indicate are about $300,000.00. Plews' clients, Jeanester Bryant and Jack LaRoe, must pay Luhrsen tens of thousands in costs, but they have even bigger problems. Both are facing ...

Drugs limiting excess mucus could save lives

2012-11-26

Respiratory conditions that restrict breathing such as asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) are common killers worldwide. But no effective treatments exist to address the major cause of death in these conditions – excess mucus production. "There is good evidence that what kills people with severe COPD or asthma is mucus obstructing the airway," says Michael J. Holtzman, MD, the Selma and Herman Seldin Professor of Medicine at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis. "It's a huge unmet medical problem and is only increasing in this country ...

Grapefruit–medication interactions increasing

The number of prescription drugs that can have serious adverse effects from interactions with grapefruit are markedly increasing, yet many physicians may be unaware of these effects, states an article published in CMAJ (Canadian Medical Association Journal). The article, a review by the researchers who discovered the interactions more than 20 years ago, summarizes evidence to help clinicians better understand the serious effects this common food can have when consumed with certain prescription drugs.

Federal government and big pharma seen as increasingly diminished source of research funding

2012-11-26

In a commentary to be published in the Dec. 12 issue of The Journal of the American Medical Association, two Johns Hopkins faculty members predict an ever-diminishing role for government and drug company funding of basic biomedical research and suggest scientists look to "innovative" kinds of private investment for future resources. Current negotiations in Washington over sequestration and the so-called "fiscal cliff" provide an opportunity to fundamentally rethink the funding of biomedical research, they say. Pointing to a decade of flat government funding for biomedical ...

Researchers identify cause of anethesia-associated seizures

2012-11-26

Antifibrinolytic drugs are frequently used to prevent blood loss during surgery, but sometimes cause convulsive seizures. In this issue of the Journal of Clinical Investigation, researchers led by Beverly Orser at the University of Toronto investigated the molecular mechanisms that underlie this side effect. By studying antifibrinolytics in mice, Orser and colleagues found that the drugs inhibited the activity of glycine receptors in the brain, leading to seizures. Seizures could be prevented by co-treatment with the general anesthetic isoflurane. This study explains the ...
