Alley also shared her personal experiences in her 2005 book, How to Lose Your Ass and Regain Your Life. Her publicized struggles with weight loss lead to Alley's affiliation with Jenny Craig weight loss centers. Appearing on Oprah Winfrey's talk show,
she showed off her new figure by donning a bikini. Alley served as a Jenny Craig spokesperson until December 2007.
Alley signed a deal with Oprah Winfrey's Harpo Productions in March 2008 to develop television projects. During that year, however, she made more headlines for her changing shape than her professional efforts. Alley regained the weight she lost while on the Jenny Craig program. She told People magazine in May 2009 that she "fell off the horse" and would have to "work harder than last time" to slim down. She then hired a trainer to help her meet this goal, and developed the Organic Liaison weight loss system.
Recent Projects
In March 2010, Alley starred in an A&E real-life television series, Kirstie Alley's Big Life. The series chronicled her journey with her weight loss program to her life as a single mother trying to raise two teenagers in the Hollywood.
In 2011, Alley competed on the 12th season of ABC's reality TV dance-competition, Dancing with the Stars. With partner Maksim Chmerkovskiy, she place second on the show, losing to Hines Ward and Ward's partner, Kym Johnson. In 2012, Alley was invited back to Dancing with the Stars for the show's 15th season: Dancing with the Stars: All-Stars.
Personal Life
In September 2009, Alley made headlines again, this time for her comments about director Roman Polanski. Polanski was arrested in Switzerland on an outstanding warrant stemming from a 1977 rape case of a young teenage girl in California, and Alley expressed her opinions about the situation through her Twitter account. She also objected to other Hollywood stars banding together to ask for the director's release.
Alley was married to actor Parker Stevenson from 1983 to 1997. They have two adopted children, William True and Lillie Price.

Illness & Conditions - Health ConditionsParkinson's DiseaseTopic OverviewWhat is Parkinson's disease?Parkinson's disease affects the way you move. It happens when there is a problem with certain nerve cells in the brain. Normally, these nerve cells make an important chemical called dopamine. Dopamine sends signals to the part of your brain that controls movement. It lets your muscles move smoothly and do what you want them to do. When you have Parkinson's, these nerve cells break down. Then you no longer have enough dopamine, and you have trouble moving the way you want to. Parkinson's is progressive, which means it gets worse over time. But usually this happens slowly, over many years. And there are good treatments that can help you live a full life. What causes Parkinson's disease?No one knows for sure what makes these nerve cells break down. But scientists are doing a lot of research to look for the answer. They are studying many possible causes, including aging and poisons in the environment. Abnormal genes seem to lead to Parkinson's disease in some people. But so far, there is not enough proof to show that it is always inherited. What are the symptoms?The four main symptoms of Parkinson's are:
Tremor may be the first symptom you notice. It's one of the most common signs of the disease, although not everyone has it. More importantly, not everyone with a tremor has Parkinson's disease. Tremor often starts in just one arm or leg or on only one side of the body. It may be worse when you are awake but not moving the affected arm or leg. It may get better when you move the limb or you are asleep. In time, Parkinson's affects muscles all through your body, so it can lead to problems like trouble swallowing or constipation. In the later stages of the disease, a person with Parkinson's may have a fixed or blank expression, trouble speaking, and other problems. Some people also lose mental skills ( dementia ). People usually start to have symptoms between the ages of 50 and 60. But sometimes symptoms start earlier. How is Parkinson's disease diagnosed?Your doctor will ask questions about your symptoms and your past health and will do a neurological exam. This exam includes questions and tests that show how well your nerves are working. For example, your doctor will watch how you move, check your muscle strength and reflexes, and check your vision. Your doctor will also ask questions about your mood. In some cases, your doctor may have you try a medicine. How this medicine works may help your doctor know if you have Parkinson's disease. There are no lab or blood tests that can help your doctor know whether you have Parkinson's. But you may have tests to help your doctor rule out other diseases that could be causing your symptoms. For example, you might have an MRI to look for signs of a stroke or brain tumor . How is it treated?At this time, there is no cure for Parkinson's disease. But there are several types of medicines that can control the symptoms and make the disease easier to live with. You may not even need treatment if your symptoms are mild. Your doctor may wait to prescribe medicines until your symptoms start to get in the way of your daily life. Your doctor will adjust your medicines as your symptoms get worse. You may need to take several medicines to get the best results. Levodopa (also called L-dopa) is the best drug for controlling symptoms of Parkinson's. But it can cause problems if you use it for a long time or at a high dose. So doctors sometimes use other medicines to treat people in the early stages of the disease. The decision to start taking medicine, and which medicine to take, will be different for each person. Your doctor will be able to help you make these choices. In some cases, a treatment called deep brain stimulation may also be used. For this treatment, a surgeon places wires in your brain. The wires carry tiny electrical signals to the parts of the brain that control movement. These little signals can help those parts of the brain work better. There are many things you can do at home that can help you stay as independent and healthy as possible. Eat healthy foods. Get the rest you need. Make wise use of your energy. Get some exercise every day. Physical therapy and occupational therapy can also help. How will Parkinson's disease affect your life?Finding out that you have a long-term, progressive disease can lead to a wide range of feelings. You may feel angry, afraid, sad, or worried about what lies ahead. It may help to keep a few things in mind:
Frequently Asked Questions
CauseLow levels of dopamine , a brain chemical involved in controlling movement, cause symptoms of Parkinson's disease. Low levels happen when nerve cells in a part of the brain that makes dopamine break down. The exact cause of this breakdown isn't known. Scientists are looking for links between Parkinson's disease and genetics, aging, toxins in the environment, and free radicals . Although these studies are beginning to provide some answers, experts don't know the exact cause of the disease. Only a small percentage of people with Parkinson's have a parent, brother, or sister who has the disease. But abnormal genes do seem to be a factor in a few families where early-onset Parkinson's is common. There are many other causes of parkinsonism, which is a group of symptoms that includes tremor, muscle stiffness, slow movement, and unsteady walking. Parkinsonism mimics Parkinson's disease, but in fact is not Parkinson's disease. SymptomsSymptoms of Parkinson's disease differ from person to person. They also change as the disease progresses. Symptoms that one person gets in the early stages of the disease, another person may not get until later—or not at all. Symptoms typically begin appearing between the ages of 50 and 60. They develop slowly and often go unnoticed by family, friends, and even the person who has them. The disease causes motor symptoms and non-motor symptoms. Motor symptoms are those that have to do with how you move. The most common one is tremor. TremorTremor, or shaking, often in a hand, arm, or leg, occurs when you're awake and sitting or standing still (resting tremor), and it gets better when you move that body part. Tremor is often the first symptom that people with Parkinson's disease or their family members notice. At first the tremor may appear in just one arm or leg or only on one side of the body. The tremor also may affect the chin, lips, and tongue. As the disease progresses, the tremor may spread to both sides of the body. But in some cases the tremor remains on just one side. Emotional and physical stress tends to make the tremor more noticeable. Sleep, complete relaxation, and intentional movement or action usually reduce or stop the tremor. Although tremor is one of the most common signs of Parkinson's, not everyone with tremor has Parkinson's. Unlike tremor caused by Parkinson's, tremor caused by other conditions gets better when your arm or hand is not moving and gets worse when you try to move it. The most common cause of non-Parkinson's tremor is essential tremor. It's a treatable condition that is often wrongly diagnosed as Parkinson's. Other common symptomsBesides tremor, the most common symptoms include:
A small number of people have symptoms on only one side of the body that never move to the other side. Non-motor symptomsParkinson's disease can cause many other symptoms that aren't related to how you move. These can be disabling and may include things like constipation, sleep problems, and depression. There are many other conditions with symptoms similar to Parkinson's disease. Some of these may be reversible. What HappensTreatment may help control symptoms during the early stages of Parkinson's disease. It is usually started as soon as symptoms begin to affect your ability to work or do daily activities. As the disease progresses, drugs may become less effective. Early stageTremor is usually the first symptom, appearing in just one arm or leg or on only one side of the body. With time, the tremor usually—but not always—spreads to both sides of the body. Joint pain, weakness, and fatigue may occur. Moderate stageAs the disease gets worse, the person may have slow movement, stiff muscles, and poor coordination. He or she may have problems with tasks such as writing, shaving, or brushing teeth. Changes in handwriting are common. Problems with posture and balance develop. A person with Parkinson's tends to walk in a stooped manner with quick, shuffling steps. Advanced stageAfter several years, as muscle stiffness and tremor increase, the person may become unable to care for himself or herself. He or she may be confined to a wheelchair or bed. People who have taken medicine for several years may not only notice their symptoms getting worse but also may start to have other movement problems. These motor fluctuations can be reduced somewhat by making changes in the person's medicine, but they can be difficult to control and may further complicate treatment. Dementia may develop in up to one-third of people who have late-stage Parkinson's disease. 1 Dementia symptoms may include disorientation at night, confusion, and memory loss. Treatment for Parkinson's disease can also contribute to this problem. What Increases Your RiskA risk factor is anything that increases your chances of getting sick or having a problem. Risk factors for Parkinson's disease are hard to identify, because the cause of the disease is unknown. Getting olderAdvancing age is the only known risk factor for typical Parkinson's disease (not including early-onset Parkinson's). Most instances of Parkinson's occur after age 50. But the illness does occur in people between the ages of 30 and 50 or, in rare cases, at a younger age. Family historyA very small number of people with Parkinson's have a close relative who also has the disease. But it doesn't appear that a family history of typical Parkinson's significantly increases your risk for the disease. Having a family history of the disease is a more significant risk factor in cases of early-onset Parkinson's, but this form of the disease is not common. Poisons in the environmentSome research suggests that long-term exposure to certain environmental risk factors such as pesticides, chemicals, or well water may increase a person's risk of developing Parkinson's disease. When To Call a DoctorIf you develop a tremorUrgent medical care isn't needed if you have had a tremor—shaking or trembling—for some time. But you should discuss the tremor at your next doctor's appointment. If a tremor is affecting your daily activities or if it is a new symptom, see your doctor sooner. A written description will help your doctor make a correct diagnosis. In writing your description, consider the following questions:
If you have Parkinson's diseaseIf you have been diagnosed with Parkinson's, call your doctor if:
Who to seeThe following health professionals can help diagnose or treat Parkinson's disease: Other health professionals who may be involved in your care include the following: To prepare for your appointment, see the topic Making the Most of Your Appointment. Exams and TestsA diagnosis of Parkinson's disease is based on your medical history and a thorough neurological exam. Your doctor also may check your sense of smell. In some cases, your doctor will have you try a medicine for Parkinson's disease. If that medicine helps your symptoms, it may help the doctor find out if you have the disease. TestsThere are no lab tests that can diagnose Parkinson's. But if your doctor isn't sure you have Parkinson's, he or she may do certain tests to see if you have another condition with similar symptoms. For instance, blood tests may be done to check for abnormal thyroid hormone levels or liver damage. An imaging test (such as a CT scan or an MRI) may be used to check for signs of a stroke or brain tumor. Another type of imaging test, called PET, sometimes may detect low levels of dopamine in the brain, a key feature of Parkinson's. But PET scanning isn't commonly used to evaluate Parkinson's because it's very expensive, not available in many hospitals, and only used experimentally. Treatment OverviewNo known treatment can stop or reverse the breakdown of nerve cells that causes Parkinson's disease. But there are many treatments that can help your symptoms and improve your quality of life. Your age, work status, family, and living situation can all affect decisions about when to begin treatment, what types of treatment to use, and when to make changes in treatment. As your medical condition changes, you may need regular changes in your treatment to balance quality-of-life issues, side effects of treatment, and treatment costs. You'll need to see members of your health care team regularly (every 3 to 6 months, or as directed) for adjustments in your treatment as your condition changes. Treatments for Parkinson's include:
DepressionDepression is common in people with Parkinson's disease. Recognizing and dealing with depression is important. There are medicines that can help the symptoms of depression in people with Parkinson's. Your doctor, other health professionals, or Parkinson's support groups can help you get emotional support and education about the illness. This is important both early and throughout the course of the disease. PreventionThere is no known way to prevent Parkinson's disease. Research has shown that people who eat more fruits and vegetables, high-fiber foods, fish, and omega-3 rich oils (sometimes known as the Mediterranean diet) and who eat less red meat and dairy may have some protection against Parkinson's. But the reason for this is still being studied. 2 Home TreatmentEarly on, Parkinson's disease may not greatly disrupt your life. But for most people, the disease becomes more disabling over time. Home treatment can help you adjust as time goes on and help you stay independent for as long as possible. Your home and lifestyle
Motor problems
Mood and mental problems
MedicationsMedicines are the most common treatment for Parkinson's disease. The goal is to correct the shortage of the brain chemical dopamine , which causes the symptoms of Parkinson's. The decision to start taking medicine, and which medicine to take, will be different for each person. Medicine is usually started when your symptoms become disabling or disrupt your daily activities. Symptoms change as the disease progresses. Because of this, your doctor will adjust your medicine to deal with the symptoms as they appear. Medicines often improve symptoms, but they also may cause side effects. It may take some time to find the best combination of medicines for you. Medication choicesSeveral medicines may be used at different stages of the disease:
Levodopa is thought to be the most effective drug for controlling symptoms. But many doctors prescribe dopamine agonists in the beginning of the disease. This is because after a few years, levodopa can cause motor complications (times when the medicine suddenly stops working or when you have uncontrollable jerking movements). Talk to your doctor about which medicines are best for you. Although it's always important to follow your doctor's instructions when you take medicines, it's especially vital when you have Parkinson's. Increasing, decreasing, or stopping the medicines you are taking may cause big changes in your symptoms and can be dangerous. Even if a medicine doesn't seem to be working, when you stop taking it, your symptoms of Parkinson's disease may be worse. Taking medicine with foodEarly in the disease, it might be helpful to take pills with food to help with nausea, which may be caused by some of the medicines for Parkinson's disease. Later in the disease, taking the medicines at least 1 hour before meals (and at least 2 hours after meals) may help them work best. Some medicines for Parkinson's disease don't work as well if you take them at the same time you eat food with protein in it, such as meat or cheese. The protein can block the medicine and keep it from working as well as it should. SurgeryBrain surgery may be considered when drugs fail to control symptoms of Parkinson's disease or cause severe or disabling side effects. Surgery isn't a cure. Drugs are usually still needed after surgery. But you probably won't need as much medicine as before, which means you may have fewer side effects. People who have very advanced Parkinson's or who have other serious problems (such as heart or lung disease, cancer, or kidney failure) usually aren't good candidates for surgery. Surgery usually isn't considered for people who have dementia or psychiatric disorders. Surgery choices
Neurotransplantation is an experimental procedure being studied for the treatment of Parkinson's disease. It involves implanting cells that produce dopamine into the brain. Information about how well neurotransplantation works is limited. And it is not a proven treatment or a realistic option for most people at this time. See a neurologistA neurologist with special training in Parkinson's disease is most often the best kind of doctor to make a decision about surgery. If you might benefit from surgery or deep brain stimulation, your neurologist can refer you to a brain surgeon with experience doing these operations. Other TreatmentPhysical therapy, speech and language therapy, and occupational therapy can all be helpful for people who have Parkinson's disease. Special dietsSeveral nutritional therapies have been suggested as treatments for Parkinson's. None of these have been proved effective. But it is important to maintain general health and to eat a balanced diet. Before trying a complementary treatment, such as a special diet, talk with your doctor about the safety and potential side effects of the treatment. Talking with your doctor can help you both decide whether a treatment is safe and effective. Complementary treatments should not replace the use of medicines to treat Parkinson's if you are a candidate for treatment with these medicines. Electroconvulsive therapyDepression that does not respond to drugs may improve with electroconvulsive therapy (ECT). ECT can also improve movement for a short period of time, though the reason for this improvement isn't understood. Other Places To Get HelpOrganizations

[JURIST] The US Department of Defense (DOD) announced [press release] Friday that a top al Qaeda operative has been tranferred to Guantanamo Bay [JURIST news archive] by the CIA. Abd al-Hadi al-Iraqi [DOD profile, PDF], an Iraqi citizen who is suspected of coordinating cross-border attacks on US forces in Afghanistan from Pakistan and plotting to assassinate Pakistan president Gen. Pervez Musharraf [official website], was returning to Iraq when he was captured, according to a Pentagon spokesman. AP has more.DOD Thursday announced the transfer of two Guantanamo Bay detainees [JURIST report] - one to Afghanistan and another to Morocco. The number of detainees remaining at Guantanamo is currently set at about 385. AFPS has more.
[JURIST] New York Governor Eliot Spitzer (D) [official website] introduced a bill Friday to legalize gay marriage in New York. In a press release, Spitzer said [text]:
Under current law, partners unable to enter into a civil marriage - and their children - lack legal protections taken for granted by married couples. In such areas as property ownership, inheritance, health care, hospital visitation, taxation, insurance coverage, child custody and pension benefits, married couples receive important safeguards against the loss or injury of a spouse, and crucial insurance against legal intrusion into marital privacy.
[JURIST] Former Canadian advertising executive Jean LaFleur plead guilty Friday to 28 counts of fraud for his alleged role in the federal sponsorship scandal [JURIST news archive; CBC backgrounder]. Lafleur is accused of billing the Canadian federal government for work which was never done, and ultimately bilking the government of almost $1.6 million in contracts his advertising firm obtained through a program designed to increase the federal government's presence in Quebec. His advertising firm, LaFleur Marketing and Communications, received $65 million through the federal sponsorship program between 1995 and 2003. Prosecutors are seeking a prison sentence. Lafleur is the not the first person charged in relation to the scandal. In May 2005, former Montreal advertising executive Paul Coffin pleaded guilty [JURIST report] to 15 counts of fraud, and former federal civil servant Chuck Guité [CTV profile] was found guilty [JURIST report] of defrauding the government in June 2006. In November 2005, Justice John Gomery released his first report on the scandal [JURIST report], finding that former Canadian prime minister Jean Chrétien and his chief of staff, Jean Pelletier, should be held accountable for the flawed running of the federal sponsorship program from 1994 to 2003. In 2006, Gomery released a second report [JURIST report], which included 18 recommendations for reining in prime ministerial power and recovering over $50 million from the advertising kickbacks scheme. CBC News has more.
[JURIST] US Sen. Frank Lautenberg (D-NJ) [official website] Thursday introduced a bill to restrict gun sales to terror suspects. S. 1237 [bill materials] would give the US attorney general the power and discretion to block gun sales to people listed as suspected terrorists. Under the bill, potential buyers who were denied firearms could appeal that decision to the attorney general. The bill has been endorsed by the Department of Justice [official website], although DOJ leaders stressed that there still might exist situations in which suspected terrorists would be allowed to purchase guns, for example if denying a suspect a gun would tip them off that they were under investigation and would thus hamper intelligence gathering. Under current law, terrorism suspects can still buy firearms if background checks show they are not convicted felons, illegal immigrants or suffering from mental illness. AP has more.
[JURIST] The office of the German Federal Prosecutor [official website, in German] Friday declined to investigate a war crimes claim [ASIL backgrounder; PDF introduction, in English] against former US Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld [official profile] and other high-ranking US officials filed by human rights groups [JURIST report] seeking accountability for acts of torture allegedly committed at Abu Ghraib, Guantanamo Bay, and in Afghanistan [JURIST news archives]. The Center for Constitutional Rights, the National Lawyers Guild, the International Federation of Human Rights [advocacy websites], and over 40 other human rights groups and individuals had brought charges against Rumsfeld for the second time in November 2006, invoking Germany's universal jurisdiction law [PDF text]. The law permits German prosecutors to exercise discretion in prosecuting crimes against humanity and war crimes in German courts regardless of where they were committed. A similar claim brought in 2004 was rejected by a German prosecutor in February 2005 and the dismissal was later upheld [JURIST reports] by a German court.The complaint, which also named US Attorney General Alberto Gonzales [official profile] and former CIA director George Tenet [Sourcewatch profile] as defendants, was rejected on the basis that the connection with Germany was tenuous. Echoing the same reasons cited in 2005, Federal Prosecutor Monika Harms said US courts were a more appropriate forum for investigating the matter. The human rights groups criticized the prosecutor's decision not to interview former US Army Brig. Gen. Janis Karpinski [CNN interview], who offered to testify. Lawyers are considering an appeal [press release] within German courts or in other countries that have universal jurisdiction laws [Amnesty backgrounder]. Reuters has more.
[JURIST] A UK special court ruled on Friday that two Libyan men suspected of involvement in terrorist activities could not be deported to Libya [JURIST news archive], overriding an agreement between the two governments. The Special Immigration Appeals Commission [backgrounder] ordered [order text, PDF] the two men released on bail, citing concerns that they would face torture and be denied a fair trial in Libya. The ruling called into question a Memorandum of Understanding [press release] that London signed with Libya [JURIST report] in 2005 facilitating the deportation of suspected terrorists. According to the memorandum, similar to others signed with Jordan and Lebanon, deported suspects will be treated humanely. The Commission based its decision in part on the UK's obligations under the European Convention on Human Rights [text].The two men will be released from the maximum security prison under bail conditions, including a twelve-hour curfew, as the Commission stated that their continued detention might be illegal. The Home Office [official website] has announced its plans to appeal. According to Parliament member Lord Carlile [official website], the decision constitutes an improper review of executive foreign policy decisions by the judiciary. A UK court reached a similar decision in a separate case this week and ordered the release [JURIST report] of a Moroccan man accused of having connections to the September 11 hijackers. The Guardian has more.
[JURIST] Three US soldiers were indicted Friday for the 2003 death of a Spanish reporter who was killed when their tank fired a shell at a Baghdad hotel. A Spanish judge charged Sgt. Shawn Gibson, Capt. Philip Wolford and Lt. Col. Philip DeCamp [TrialWatch profiles] with homicide and "a crime against the international community" in the death of Jose Couso [advocacy website, English version], a cameraman for Spanish TV network Telecinco [media website, in Spanish]. In 2003, then-Secretary of State Colin Powell said the soldiers only fired in self-defense after shots were fired at them from the hotel. A US review of the incident found they did not act improperly. Spain has issued several arrest warrants [JURIST report] against the three, but the United States has refused to extradite them. AP has more.The three are not the first US soldiers to be indicted in foreign courts for actions taken in Iraq. Earlier this month, US Army Spc. Mario Lozano was put on trial in absentia before an Italian court [JURIST report] for the murder of Italian intelligence agent Nicola Calipari and attempted murders of agent Andrea Carpani and Italian journalist Giuliana Sgrena in Iraq. The US has maintained that the car carrying Calipari did not slow down at a military checkpoint and that Lozano followed proper procedure in opening fire.
[JURIST] An appeals court in Milan upheld a lower court decision Friday clearing former Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi [BBC profile; JURIST news archive] of charges that he bribed judges to prevent the sale of food company SME to rivals in 1985. After the lower court acquitted [BBC report], then-Prime Minister Berlusconi in 2004, he passed legislation [text, in Italian] precluding an appeal of the verdict. Subsequent decisions [JURIST report] by the Italian Court of Cassation and the Italian Constitutional Court [official websites], however, determined that the case should go forward. Last month, prosecutors appealed the trial court decision [JURIST report] and asked that Berlusconi be sentenced to five years in prison. Berlusconi has faced trial on at least six occasions involving charges of embezzlement, false accounting, tax fraud, money laundering, and giving false testimony [JURIST reports] connected to his broadcasting company Mediaset [corporate website, in Italian]. While some of the tax fraud charges against Berlusconi have been thrown out [JURIST report], he and former lawyer David Mills currently face trial [JURIST report] on corruption charges. According to his lawyer, Berlusconi is "thrilled" with today's outcome. BBC News has more. Reuters Italia has local coverage, in Italian.
[JURIST] US Democratic and Republic senators sparred over the habeas corpus rights of Guantanamo Bay [JURIST news archive] detainees at a US Senate Armed Services Committee [official website] hearing [witness list and prepared statements] Wednesday. In a rare appearance as a committee witness [prepared testimony; recorded video], US Senate Judiciary Committee chairman Patrick Leahy (D-VT) [official website] called the detention of 400 Guantanamo prisoners without charge and without recourse to traditional habeas rights "un-American," while the committee's lead Republican, US Sen. John Warner (R-VA) [official website], said Congress should delay any legislation on the habeas issue until the Supreme Court rules on cases that must first make their way through the US Court of Appeals for the DC Circuit. Fellow Republican John Cornyn (R-TX) insisted that there was no "English common law case" granting habeas rights to alien enemy combatants [JURIST news archive]. Earlier this month the Supreme Court denied certiorari [JURIST report] in two proceedings brought by Guantanamo detainees who are challenging provisions of the Military Commissions Act (MCA) [PDF text; JURIST news archive] stripping their right to file habeas corpus challenges. Justices John Paul Stevens and Anthony Kennedy filed a separate statement [SCOTUSblog report] explaining that the Supreme Court would not hear the challenges until the detainees had exhausted all other potential federal remedies. The court's decision prompted the US Justice Department to seek the dismissal [JURIST report] of all pending Guantanamo habeas cases. AP has more.
[JURIST] The Supreme Court of Japan denied compensation claims made by five Chinese wartime slave laborers Friday, ruling that companies that utilized Chinese individuals were not obligated to provide compensation because the 1972 Joint Communique of the Government of Japan and the Government of the People's Republic of China [text] renounced Chinese claims for war reparations from Japan. The ruling by the top court reversed a lower court ruling that awarded the five forced laborers a total of $230,300 in compensation for their suffering. In March, a Japanese district court dismissed a similar claim by Chinese nationals [JURIST report] against Mitsubishi Metals Corporation because the 20-year deadline for filing compensation claims under Japanese law had expired. That decision followed another March ruling by the Tokyo High Court which held that the present Japanese government was not accountable for wrongs committed by Japan's wartime leaders, thereby overturning [JURIST report] a landmark decision that held both the Japanese government and a corporation responsible for forcing Chinese citizens into slave labor during World War II. AP has more.
[JURIST] The US Marine Corps [official website] has been told to expect charges to be filed against five to seven Marines who are being investigated for killing ten civilians [JURIST report] near Jalalabad, Afghanistan on March 4, according to a Marine official speaking on the condition of anonymity. A preliminary US military investigation found that the Marines were among of group of 30 soldiers who opened fire against civilians after a suicide bomber drove a vehicle carrying explosives into their convoy. No soldiers were hurt in the attack, but the Marines began firing at bystanders, including women and elderly men, along a several mile stretch of road as they left the scene. The investigation, ordered by US Army Maj. Gen. Frank Kearney [profile], found no evidence that the Marines were facing enemy fire and revealed ten deaths and 33 injuries as a result of the shootings.The soldiers are members of a Marine Corps Special Forces unit under the command of the United States Special Operations Command (USSOCOM) [official website] and were sent to Afghanistan to carry out special reconnaissance, intelligence and commando missions. An Afghanistan Independent Human Rights Commission (AIHRC) [official website] released a report [PDF text] earlier this month claiming the soldiers violated international humanitarian law [JURIST report] by using indiscriminate and excessive force in its response to the suicide bombing. A formal investigation by the Naval Criminal Investigative Service (NCIS) [official website] is being conducted which will determine who will be charged in the civilian attacks. Friday's New York Times has more.
[JURIST] California state legislators Thursday approved [Schwarzenegger press release] a $8.3 billion dollar program [AP 900 text] to construct facilities to provide 53,000 new prison and jail beds over the next five years as part of an effort to alleviate California's overcrowded prisons [JURIST news archive]. Lawmakers said that the plan will also dedicate more resources to rehabilitation and reduce California's 70 percent recidivism rate. The bill also gives the legislature "clear statutory authority to voluntarily and involuntarily transfer prisoners out-of-state for the next four years." A previous out-of-state transfer plan by California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger [official website] was struck down by a state court [JURIST report] because California law prohibits the governor from contracting with private companies to perform jobs usually held by state employees. California's prison system, originally designed for 100,000 inmates, currently houses 173,000 inmates and has resorted to housing approximately 17,000 inmates in temporary beds in locations like prison gymnasiums. In February, Schwarzenegger announced a plan to release prisoners convicted of nonviolent crimes [JURIST report] in response to various federal actions that could establish federal oversight of California's prison system if the overcrowding problem is not resolved [JURIST report]. The New York Times has more.
[JURIST] The Supreme Court of Japan [official website, English version] affirmed a Tokyo High Court decision Friday denying government compensation to two Chinese women who were forced to work as "comfort women" [Amnesty backgrounder; JURIST news archive], because the 1972 Joint Communique of the Government of Japan and the Government of the People's Republic of China [text] renounced Chinese claims for war reparations from Japan. The court also overturned a lower court ruling awarding compensation to Chinese comfort women, who were forced into sexual slavery in Japanese military brothels during World War II. Last Friday, the Japanese government accepted the formal rulings [JURIST report] of a 1948 war crimes tribunal that found Japanese soldiers had coerced women into prostitution. In March, Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe [BBC profile; JURIST news archive] denied allegations of forced sexual slavery [JURIST report] in Imperial Japanese Army brothels, stating instead that the women were professional prostitutes paid for their services. Abe later issued a guarded apology [JURIST report] to comfort women following public outcry, but stopped short of explicitly acknowledging the role played by the military and the government in facilitating the practice. AP has more.
[JURIST] The US Department of Justice [official website] released an inventory of 171 internal documents withheld from Congress [PDF text] Thursday, resisting congressional demands that the department disclose and release emails and memos involving the controversial firing of eight US attorneys [JURIST news archive]. The withheld documents involve communications between members of Congress as well as internal department communications, many of which focused on the media coverage of the firings. The House Judiciary Committee [official website] has demanded that the department release uncensored documents, which the department has resisted. Assistant Attorney General Richard Hertling has said that other document inventories will be released to Congress "on a rolling basis." Previously released documents [House Judiciary archive] generally included pages of text blacked out. On Wednesday, the House Judiciary Committee granted immunity to Monica M. Goodling [JURIST report], former special counsel to US Attorney Alberto Gonzales, in exchange for her testimony on the firings of the eight US attorneys. Earlier in the week President Bush again defended Gonzales [JURIST report] after the ranking Republican on the Senate Judiciary Committee publicly rebuked the Attorney General for his role in the controversial firings and characterized Gonzales' latest testimony before the Senate Judiciary Committee [JURIST report] as being "very, very damaging" to his credibility.

Back titration is designed to resolve some of the problems encountered with forward or direct titration. Possible reasons for devising back titration technique are :
1: The analyte may be in solid form like chalk in the example given above.
2: The analyte may contain impurities which may interfere with direct titration. Consider the case of contaminated chalk. We can filter out the impurities before the excess reactant is titrated and thus avoid this situation.
3: The analyte reacts slowly with titrant in direct or forward titration. The reaction with the intermediate reactant can be speeded up and reaction can be completed say by heating.
4: Weak acid – weak base reactions can be subjected to back titration for analysis of solution of unknown concentration. Recall that weak acid-weak weak titration does not yield a well defined change in pH, which can be detected using an indicator.

Juice fasting
Juice fasting (also known as "juice cleansing") is a controversial fasting method and a detox diet in which a person consumes only fruit and vegetable juices to obtain nutrition while otherwise abstaining from food consumption. The health benefits are unproven,[1] with many health professionals considering them potentially dangerous. [2] Juice fasts may last anywhere from a few days to several weeks. The juice consumed during a juice fast is not the type commercially available, but rather that produced from freshly juiced fruits and vegetables. [3]
Reasons for fasting[edit]
Reasons to undergo juice fasting may include spiritual or religious reasons, detox, desire to lose weight, or attempts to stop habitual behavior such as smoking, drinking soda, overeating, caffeine addiction, etc. Participants may use juice fasting as an alternative medicine. Participants may believe juice fasting will cure chronic pain, cancer, depression, arthritis, severe infections that resisted antibiotics, autoimmune diseases, and many other incurable diseases. [4] One reason for juice fasting is to assist with other methods of gallstone passage.[5] Others choose juice fasting because they believe they can focus on healing specific organs and systems.
Fasting therapy has a long history in Europe. Guidelines for therapeutic fasting have been formulated. Fasting has been demonstrated to have positive effects in rheumatological diseases, and preliminary observational studies suggest a therapeutic effect of medically supervised fasting in other chronic conditions such as metabolic diseases, pain syndromes, hypertension, chronic inflammatory diseases, atopic diseases, and psychosomatic disorders. Fasting can also be applied for preventing diseases in healthy subjects.
Some practitioners fast bi-annually in week-long (or longer) periods to attempt to purify the body in synchronization with what they believe to be annual cycles of nature[citation needed]. Fasts may even involve retreats and travel, such as with popular week-long spa-resort style trips to Thailand.
Because pure juice contains little to no fiber, juice fasters often use an enema or a herbal or saltwater laxative during the time of fasting to efficiently expel waste from the intestines and colon. Another method to achieve this effect involves mixing psyllium husks in with the juice. Because psyllium is not absorbed by the body, but greatly increases in volume upon water absorption, it creates the bulk necessary to facilitate evacuation. [6]
In a reduced calorie study, juice fasting for one week, without limitation of physical activity, has been demonstrated to reduce total free cholesterol, by the end of the fast.[7]
Possible side effects[edit]
Fasters should take care to maintain their intake of vitamins and nutrients during fasting, though no specific side effects are associated exclusively with juice fasting. Medical conditions such as diabetes may be aggravated by excessive intake of certain juices.[8] [9] Juice mixes containing grapefruit juice may also adversely interact with certain prescription drugs. [10]
Because of the low sodium content of most fruits and vegetables, salt deficiency may occur. Salt deficiency causes headaches and weakness, then light-headedness, then nausea.[11]
As a detox diet[edit]
Scientists, dietitians, and doctors regard detox diets as less effective than water-fasting, and hence a waste of money.[12] Catherine Collins, Chief Dietician of St George's Hospital Medical School in London, England, states that "The concept of 'detox' is a marketing myth rather than a physiological entity. The idea that an avalanche of vitamins, minerals, and laxatives taken over a 2 to 7 day period can have a long-lasting benefit for the body is also a marketing myth."[12]
Detox diets, depending on the type and duration, are viewed as potentially dangerous and can cause various health problems including muscle loss, decreased metabolism, and an unhealthy re-gaining of fat after the detox ends.[13]

Building efficient apps and extensions with push messaging
Thursday, May 09, 2013
Labels: chrome apps, extensions
Event pages keep apps and extensions efficient by allowing them to respond to a variety of events such as timers or navigation to a particular site, without having to remain running persistently. But what if you need to respond to something that occurs outside of Chrome, such as a news alert, a message sent to a user or a stock hitting a price threshold? Until now, you had to do this by repeatedly polling a server. This process consumed bandwidth and reduced the battery life of your users' machines. For a more efficient solution, starting today you can use Google Cloud Messaging for Chrome (GCM) - across all channels of Chrome.
GCM will be familiar to developers who have used Google Cloud Messaging for Android. To send a message, all you need to do is:
- Request a token (channel ID) via chrome.pushMessaging.getChannelId().
- Pass the returned token to your server.
- Whenever you need to send a message to your app or extension, post the message along with the token to the GCM server-side API.
To use GCM, your users must be signed into Chrome, as the service relies on an efficient push channel that's only established for signed-in users. Messages are automatically delivered to all the devices where the user has signed in and installed your app/extension.
To add GCM to your app/extension, take a look at the overview of the service or start with some of the sample apps—and start pushing!

CHARLESTON, W.Va. -- West Virginia voters must decide whether their disapproval of President Barack Obama will influence who else they pick Tuesday on a lengthy ballot that features a U.S. Senate contest, the governor's race, a slew of legislative posts and a proposed constitutional amendment.
Though registered Democrats outnumber Republicans by nearly 2-1, GOP presidential hopeful Mitt Romney is expected to win the state's five electoral votes handily. Just over 13 percent of West Virginia's 1.2 million already had cast early or absentee ballots before Tuesday.
In other races, Republican candidates worked to link Democratic incumbents to the unpopular president.
Republican John Raese made Obama a big part of his campaign against U.S. Sen. Joe Manchin for a full six-year term in the Senate. Manchin was governor when he defeated Raese, a Morgantown multimillionaire and industrialist, in a 2010 special election prompted by the death of U.S. Sen. Robert C. Byrd.
Gov. Earl Ray Tomblin's GOP opponent, Bill Maloney, also invoked Obama while blaming the incumbent for the state's chronically poor rankings in economic and education categories. Their race marks another rematch. Tomblin was Senate president acting as governor following Manchin's departure when he narrowly beat Maloney in a special election last October.
Tomblin has cited how the state weathered the Great Recession and fragile recovery in his contest against Maloney, a Morgantown drilling consultant and business owner.
The GOP's Obama strategy also extended to other races, including the one for attorney general. Republican Patrick Morrisey, an Eastern Panhandle lawyer who previously worked on Capitol Hill, seeks to deny Attorney General Darrell McGraw a sixth term. The Democrat has found himself outspent by Morrisey and pro-GOP allies who have flooded the state with TV ads.
Four other statewide executive offices, all held by Democrats, also are on the ballot. Treasurer John Perdue faces Mike Hall, the Senate's minority leader. Freshman Delegate Brian Savilla, like Hall a Putnam County Republican, is taking on Secretary of State Natalie Tennant. Larry Faircloth, a former veteran GOP legislator, is running against Auditor Glen Gainer. Sen. Walt Helmick, a Democrat, and Republican Kent Leonhardt are vying to succeed retiring Agriculture Commissioner Gus Douglass.
Voters will award a pair of 12-year terms on the five-seat Supreme Court of Appeals. Justice Robin Davis and Tish Chafin, a recent State Bar president, are the Democratic nominees. The GOP is fielding Allen Loughry, a longtime lawyer at the court, and Circuit Judge John Yoder.
All three of West Virginia's seats in the U.S. House of Representatives are up Tuesday. Freshman U.S. Rep. David McKinley faces a low-funded Democratic challenger, Sue Thorn, in the 1st District. Rep. Shelley Moore Capito faces a similar situation in the 2nd District, where Howard Swint is the Democrats' nominee. Both incumbents are Republicans, as is freshman Delegate Rick Snuffer. The Raleigh County legislator is challenging 3rd District Rep. Nick Rahall, a Democrat seeking a 19th term.
Democrats hold majorities in both chambers of the Legislature, but Republicans hope to erase their margin in the House of Delegates. Will all 100 seats up for election, the GOP has focused on seats shifted to the Eastern Panhandle in response to the 2010 Census as well as a redrawn, four-seat district representing part of Kanawha County. Democratic incumbents in Boone, Preston and Monongalia counties also face well-funded Republican opponents.
With half of the 34-member Senate on the ballot, the GOP failed to field challengers to seven of the 11 incumbent Democrats running. The chamber's contests include two open seats, one representing Kanawha and Putnam counties and the other a district that includes Jackson County. Senate candidates have waged pricey races in the district that includes Mercer County and in the Eastern Panhandle.
A proposed constitutional amendment, meanwhile, would repeal term limits for county sheriffs. While requiring a simple majority, previous attempts failed in 1994, 1986 and 1982.

"Blinds are a good choice."
By Fan in ALA. from Montgomery
They are a great addition to our guest room in our home.

By LM from New Jersey
The natural weave shades let in some light, but more than adequately offer privacy (ie, from the outside, you can see a bright spot where a light is, but not details). The natural weaves are nice for keeping the feel of a room open. The natural linens are a lighter fabric yet provide more privacy. They fit the decor of my living room better, as they are not as casual of look. I measured and installed the shades myself without issue. All you need is a drill, a tape measure, and a screwdriver. I ordered and installed shades for four windows and a large sliding glass door and every single one fits perfectly and looks beautiful.

Well, no.
"We're never going to add stuff. Everything is pretty much already in there and has been in there,'' Dawson said. "If anything, we're more likely to take stuff out.''
On the defensive side, the situation is just the opposite, of course. With a virtually new defensive staff and without most of the graduated playmakers from a year ago, the task in the spring is much as it was on offense a year ago - both installing a new system and finding the right players to execute it.
And after the first practice was in the books, Holgorsen was far from ready to pass judgment on the job done on either side of the ball.
"The bottom line is that it was the first day and without pads, but from an offensive perspective it was where we were a year ago defensively,'' Holgorsen said, referring to an established defensive scheme and players who knew how to run it. "From a defensive perspective it's where we were offensively a year ago. The roles have been flipped. But we've got a long ways to go on both sides.''
BRIEFLY: Holgorsen was rather stunned by opening camp in temperatures hovering in the mid-60s and sunny skies.
"It was awesome. We didn't have one day like this last year. There was a big ol' cloud above our head for a long time,'' Holgorsen said. "I didn't think this weather existed here in March or April.''
"We kicked around the Sunday thing for a long time. Just getting them back into the rhythm of a work week I think is going to be good for us,'' Holgorsen said. "Last year we did mornings, which I didn't like. Getting them back on Sundays, they don't need to worry about school, but can be back ready for school on Mondays. Study hall is open [Sunday after practice], so they'll get back to thinking about school on Monday morning.
"For every college kid across the country, it's always been a struggle to get them thinking about school until they wake up on Mondays. That's going to work out well for us.''

Sources: Nets, Nuggets reach agreement; now it's up to Carmelo Anthony to say yes
Nets officials arrived in Los Angeles for All-Star Weekend with a tentative agreement in place with Denver on a deal to acquire Carmelo Anthony. But the trade is contingent upon Anthony saying yes to a contract extension with the Nets.
That is probably the biggest if in the Nets' star-crossed history.
They will not complete the nine-player, four draft-pick trade for Anthony unless he commits to them long term. The Nets hope to meet with Anthony this weekend to try to convince him to put his signature on a three-year, $65 million extension.
If Anthony, the starting small forward for the West All-Star team, turns down the Nets, the Knicks are expected to end up with Anthony. All along, playing for the Knicks has been his preference. But all along the Nets have had the most to offer Denver and they believed they could sell Anthony on the future of the franchise and its move to Brooklyn if they ever met with him.
Nets principal owner Mikhail Prokhorov, part-owner Jay-Z, CEO Brett Yormark and general manager Billy King are in Los Angeles this weekend and could sit down with Anthony at some point today. Anthony and Nets sources said there was no formal meeting arranged. But the Nuggets were trying to get the two sides together, since they want the Nets' deal.
"I would love to sit down with Mr. Prokhorov, with whoever, whatever team the Denver Nuggets want to send me to," Anthony said to reporters in Los Angeles. "I would love to sit down with them look them in the eye and see what the future holds in that situation."
Anthony was asked whether he would sign an extension with the Nets.
"That's something that I would have to think about deeply," Anthony said. "There's a lot of things that come into play when dealing with this."
In the tentatively agreed upon deal first reported Friday by The Record, the Nets would get Anthony, Chauncey Billups, Shelden Williams, Melvin Ely and Renaldo Balkman. Denver would get Devin Harris, Derrick Favors, Troy Murphy, Ben Uzoh and four first-round picks.
The biggest reason the agreement is tentative is Anthony still could be pushing the Nuggets to send him to the Knicks. The Daily News reported Anthony met with Knicks owner James Dolan on Thursday and Dolan and team president Donnie Walsh had a conference call Friday with Nuggets officials, including GM Masai Ujiri.
