This is the finest page on the internet, ever.  


I'm Jason, and this is where I post stories and local items from around Chattanooga that interest me.   I hope you find them interesting, and visit often. 

I started my radio career at 18 in Cookeville, Tennessee, and joined WDOD-FM in 1997.  Along the way I've raised four kids and truly enjoyed being a broadcaster.  Now that they're about grown I have nothing to do except hang out on Facebook and look aimlessly at walls.    I'm very interested in technology and electronics, and serve as the I.T. coordinator for our group of radio stations.  Four years ago I began rebuilding rental properties at the foot of Lookout Mountain, and that takes some of my time.

I'm truly thankful for the opportunity to be a part of your day, so please accept my thanks.   Brad Steiner's cell number is 314-7692 if you ever want to call someone and make weird breath noises at 2 AM.

We all knew that being exposed to the sun makes you age prematurely, but seeing the dramatic difference in a single face is just stunning.

 

His condition is called unilateral dermatoheliosis, from the Greek dermis and helios, skin and sun. It's also called photoaging, and it results from chronic exposure to the sun's UVA and UVB rays. In his case, it only affected the left side of his face because of his work. As he drove, he received much many hours of sunlight through the left window of his vehicle.

 

The case was discovered and studied by Jennifer R.S. Gordon and Joaquin C. Brieva, dermatologists at Northwestern University, and published in the New England Journal of Medicine:
