Despite its reputation as a land of twenty-first-century cities and forbidding desert, the UAE has some very diverse habitats that support a wide range of wildlife. On land, the landscape is dominated by desert, ranging from vast, flat expanses to impressive rolling dunes, which are a prominent feature, especially in the south. Extensive salt flats (sabkha) and white sandy shorelines occur in coastal areas, and in the east the Hajar Mountains rise sharply above the surrounding landscape to an elevation of about 2000 m.
Few animals can tolerate the extreme heat of the desert for long so they are obliged to adopt one of a number of strategies. For many this involves burrowing, spending long periods resting in holes well below the surface, whilst others such as the sand skink and the sand boa move rapidly beneath the surface of uncompacted sand. A high proportion of species are nocturnal, coming out only at night when it is cooler, and some aestivate, i.e. spend the summer months underground in a condition of torpor similar to hibernation. As a result, it is often difficult to see wildlife. Nevertheless it is there!
Birds cannot burrow or aestivate, but they do migrate. The number of species resident in the desert is very few. But this was probably always so. The most desert-adapted species resident in the UAE are the hoopoe lark, the cream-coloured courser and the black-crowned finch lark. The long legged buzzard, little owl and desert eagle owl maintain small breeding populations, and the brown-necked raven is not uncommon. In the autumn and winter months the resident birds are joined by a range of migrants that breed in Central Asia – various species of lark, wheatear and warbler, as well as the much-prized houbara bustard.
Reptiles are the dominant animal group in the desert, including a number of lizards, ranging from the delicate geckos to the larger and more robust dhubs or spiny-tailed lizards, together with the giant of desert lizards, the monitor, which can be nearly a metre in length. You may encounter several species of snake in the desert, the commonest being the poisonous horned viper.
In general, desert mammals have not fared as well as the birds or reptiles. Within the last few decades the desert has experienced local extinctions of the wolf, oryx, striped hyaena and jackal. On the other hand, the fearless honey badger, previously thought to be extinct in the UAE, has been sighted in recent years. Two species of gazelle still survive, though both are rare and with limited ranges. The sand gazelle is present to the south of the Liwa and the mountain gazelle occurs in an area bordered by the major roads between Abu Dhabi, Dubai and Al Ain. The sand cat is believed to have been reduced to a seriously low level, but data is lacking because this is such a shy nocturnal animal. The beautiful little Rueppell's fox and even the cape hare are probably far less numerous than they used to be. However, the main stronghold for these species is thought to be the western part of Abu Dhabi emirate. The lesser jerboa and three species of hedgehog survive, but again are shy creatures and therefore difficult to see.
We do not often think of the desert in terms of vegetation, but a wide range of plant-life is specially adapted to the inhospitable conditions: palm trees grow in the dunes, their roots reaching down to the water table. Other valiant plants, including a wide range of shrubs and herbs such as Tribulus species manage to survive the extremes of heat and drought, supplying grazing for domesticated and wild ungulates. Characteristic groves of ghaf trees provide shelter and grazing. And then there are the spring rains, which can really bring the desert to life with veritable fields of grasses and brightly flowering plants carpeting the sandy expanses. Insects, including beetles and butterflies, also thrive in these conditions, and arthropods such as scorpions and spiders are also common.
Freshwater oases are scattered throughout the country: for instance, on the plains on either side of the Hajar Mountains and in many desert locations in Abu Dhabi emirate. The largest desert oasis occurs in the Liwa crescent, which is, in fact, a series of individual oases stretching for more than 100 km.
On the mountain and coastal plains, oases are usually irrigated by a falaj system: underground water is tapped from the edge of the mountains and then diverted along channels to its destination, a system that dates back at least 3000 years in the UAE. In the mountains the ghayl system is common whereby water is extracted from the upper reaches of the wadi bed and is fed along open watercourses built into the sides of the wadi and channelled to terraced fields.
Date-palm plantations dominate the oases, but other crops are also cultivated and many wild species of plants take advantage of the increased moisture and shade. Wild fauna are also attracted to these cultivated areas, so too are lizards, and insects such as beetles, butterflies, dragonflies, grasshoppers and crickets thrive in these conditions.
Mountains and wadis
The Hajar Mountains, the major mountain system of south-eastern Arabia, transverse the UAE from north to south in the east of the country, near to the Gulf of Oman coast. Rising abruptly from the surrounding terrain, the mountains are dissected by numerous wadis or valleys. Apart from small pockets of soil that accumulate in rock fissures, the spectacular mountain scenery often appears distinctly barren. However, this initial impression is misleading, because many wadis and the high mountain plateaux can support relatively lush vegetation. In fact, assisted by increased precipitation and lower temperatures, the mountainous areas contain the highest diversity of plant life compared to any other habitat type in the UAE.
On the lower mountain slopes, the umbrella-like Acacia tortilis and Euphorbia larica are ever-present, accompanied by a number of perennials. At higher altitudes, trees such as the graceful pink-flowering Moringa peregrina and Ficus cordata become more prominent on rock debris, especially near wadis. In the far north-east, the Arabian almond, Amygdalus arabica, grows above 1000 m and olive trees, Olea europaea, are locally common high in the mountains.
The wadis, some with permanent pools or, in rarer instances, a flow of water even after years of sparse rainfall, are home to a resident community of birds, including the brown-necked raven, desert lark, sand martin and the rock martin. Egyptian vulture and possibly the lappet-faced vulture may soar overhead. The nocturnal desert eagle owl is also found on mountain cliffs and in a number of wadis. Lower down in wadis that benefit from water and cultivated vegetation, Indian rollers, laughing doves, purple sunbirds and little green bee-eaters are found.
Insects such as butterflies, dragonflies thrive near vegetation and water, and scorpions and spiders burrow under debris and stones. All of the seven native land snails live in or near the mountains. The wadis and screes are home, too, to geckos and other lizards, the tessellated skink and the Asian snake-eyed skink. Whilst the wadi racer snake, as its name indicates, is found in most wadis with permanent water. Here, also, you may see the only amphibians present in the UAE, two species of toad, as well as three native and two non-native species of freshwater fish, including tilapia.
High up in the mountains, the mammalian population has not fared very well. Mountain predators such as the Arabian leopard, the caracal lynx, the Arabian wolf and the striped hyena have all been decimated, to the point of extinction in the case of the wolf and hyena. Wild mammalian herbivores such as ibex, wild goat, mountain gazelle, Arabian tahr and rock hyrax have also suffered. Today only a few leopard and the notoriously elusive tahr survive.
Coast and Islands
Salt flats or sabkha and hundreds of natural islands are the dominant features of the Arabian Gulf coast west of Abu Dhabi, whilst many channels, creeks or 'khors' indent the more exposed northern coast; and to the east, steep craggy mountains sweep down to the shores of the Gulf of Oman, at times interrupted by a narrow tree-studded alluvial foreland.
The shallow Arabian Gulf seas are warm (18?C in winter to over 35?C in summer) and saline (reaches 40 to 50 parts per thousand). The waters of the short coastline flanking the Gulf of Oman, on the other hand, are much more oceanic in character, experiencing only slightly elevated salinities of 36 to 37 parts per thousand, whilst temperatures vary from 21?C in winter to just over 34?C in summer.
Both coastal regions are home to important coral reef and mangrove communities, internationally significant island seabird colonies as well as large numbers of migratory waterbirds; and they provide a nesting and feeding ground for turtles, dugongs, whales and dolphins.
The western Arabian Gulf coast has some magnificent stands of mature mangroves, valuable havens for birds and spawning and nursery grounds for a large variety of fish. One remarkable mangrove stand is at Khor Kalba on the east-facing coast. This is home to two rare bird species, the booted warbler and a unique race of white-collared kingfisher.
Only one mangrove species occurs naturally in the UAE: Avicennia marina. Three other species have been introduced or re-introduced into the intertidal area in Abu Dhabi where replanting is taking place on a large scale to offset the effects of coastal development.
Numerous offshore islands, many of them private, ranging from the massive Abu al-Abyadh to tiny islets, are a haven for seabirds. Huge numbers of migrant waders feed on extensive mudflats at Abu al-Abyadh, which also supports the largest breeding colony of crab plovers in the Arabian Gulf.
Abu Dhabi's islands also support internationally important populations of five species of tern, Saunders' little, white-cheeked, swift, lesser crested and bridled. Other internationally important breeding seabirds include the sooty gull and the beautiful red-billed tropicbird. Magnificent ospreys breed on many of the islands. However one of the most spectacular sights is the massive flocks of Socotra cormorants that wheel through the sky hunting for fish. This is a globally endangered species that breeds on a handful of islands in the Arabian Gulf (notably Sinaiya in Umm al-Qaiwain) and off Oman.
The many khors or inlets along the Arabian Gulf coast are also home to sizeable populations of wintering and passage wading birds, whilst Ra's al-Khor Wildlife Sanctuary at the head of Dubai Creek is a protected area that attracts significant numbers of waders, herons wildfowl and large flocks of flamingos.
Unlike the Arabian Gulf emirates, Fujairah and the east coast enclaves belonging to Sharjah have nutrient-rich deep water in close proximity to the shoreline. Much of the coast here is low-lying and exposed to onshore winds and wave action. Rocky cliff-like outcrops, interspersed with tidal sandy bays, support a wide variety of marine organisms.
Preservation and protection of these unique habitats is a primary consideration.
Bu Tinah Island, 120 km from the city of Abu Dhabi and part of the Marawah Marine Biosphere Reserve (MMBR), was recognised by UNESCO in 2007 and is the region's first and largest Marine Biosphere Reserve (MBR).
In addition to Bu Tinah Island, the 4,255-sq-km reserve comprises the islands of Marawah, Jenanah, Salahah and Al Buzm al Gharbi. The site, which includes numerous islands and a coastline stretching over 120 km, comprises several important representatives habitats of national and regional significance. These include sea grass beds (3 species), coral reef communities (more than 18 species), macroalgae outcrops (more than 15 species) and mangrove vegetation (monostands of Avicennia marina). Marawah Biosphere reserve is also of global importance as a shelter and feeding ground for vulnerable dugongs. The recorded population of dugongs in this area constitutes the second largest aggregation in the world. The area also provides crucial nursery and spawning grounds for a wide variety of fish species and is regionally important as a foraging and nesting habitat for critically endangered hawksbill turtles and endangered green turtles. The islands are also home to large numbers of migratory birds, including about 5 per cent of the world population of the vulnerable Socotra cormorant.
Already at the tolerance limits of their range in terms of temperature and salinity, the reef-building corals in Arabian Gulf waters have been severely stressed by spiking sea temperatures, leading to bleaching and death. Although coral coverage is at its lowest level, scientists believe that, given protection, reefs will recover from the damage suffered during past stress/temperature anomalies. They point to clear signs of the coral system's resilience with reefs showing active signs of regeneration. There are also many projects underway to encourage regeneration of coral and create artificial reefs.
The UAE's dugong population is also in need of protection. The UAE has banned all hunting of dugongs within its waters and has also banned driftnet fishing, which should avoid accidental drowning. However, the dugongs' specialised habitat, sea-grass beds, is under threat. In addition, since dugongs are migratory species travelling across a range in search of food, transboundary cooperation is vital for their future.
Since October 2009 the Environment Agency Abu Dhabi (EAD) has hosted and funded a coordination office in Abu Dhabi for the UN Convention on Migratory Species (CMS) Memoranda of Understanding on the Conservation and Management of Dugongs (UNEP/CMS Dugong MoU) and is at the forefront of efforts to support conservation at home and abroad. A new initiative launched in Abu Dhabi in 2012 encourages investment in rural communities worldwide in exchange for conservation of dugongs and maintenance of their habitats.
Conservation management of migratory turtles that nest on the UAE's beaches and feed in its waters is also a challenge. Local scientists are engaged in important research into turtle populations and have forged links with international organisations and researchers interested in ensuring the continued survival of the UAE's turtles. The CMS treaty, which also covers turtles, has been central to regional cooperation and the UAE has taken a leading role in this regard.

By Matthew Blank
Well something happened one night with the fly system and only Buzz flew off while I was left standing on the ground. Alone. Poor Andy... Woody never returned that night.
Without fail, at least one lamp would fall and shatter on stage every night, causing someone to trip. Stories aside, I really did love working for Disney!
14 May 2013
How you got your Equity card:
The Book of Mormon
Some of your favorite food/drink hangouts in Chicago:
Yolk for brunch. Also Girl and the Goat or Little Goat Diner for dinner. Both are owned by Stephanie Izard and both are amazing!
Pre-show rituals or warm-ups:
I listen to Sara Bareilles' "Breathe Again" followed by Carrie Manolakos' "Red." In that order. Every show.
Most challenging role you have ever played:
Definitely Elder Price
Most challenging part of playing Elder Price?
Vocal and physical stamina
Do you have a favorite moment in the show for your character?
"I Believe" is both my favorite and most terrifying moment. But mostly my favorite.
What has been the major difference performing for a Chicago audience compared to Broadway?
The audiences have actually been very similar, which I think is a huge testament to the brilliant writing of this show. It just works. And it works everywhere.
Worst flubbed line/missed cue/onstage mishap:
I played Woody in Toy Story: The Musical for Disney Cruise Line. At the end of the show, Buzz and Woody are supposed to fly off while attached to a rocket to catch up to Andy's car.
Worst costume ever:
Also on Disney Cruise Line, I had to dress as a Lamp Seller in this "Prince Ali" number from Aladdin. I had this jacket lined entirely in plastic magic lamps that I was supposed to tempt the audience with while dancing.
If you could trade roles with anyone in the cast for a week, who would it be?
Nabalungi. I think I was a female ingenue in my previous life.
Most interesting or memorable stage door or celebrity visit experience:
On my first night ever joining the cast of Mormon on Broadway, Oprah Winfrey was there. There was no better way to start my Mormon experience. It's a shame she's not in Chicago anymore. We have a running joke in the cast that every limo we see is actually Oprah. If only!
Leading man role you've been dying to play:
I'd like another shot at Jean Valjean when I'm older. Something about being 16 might have prevented me from really diving into that character. Maybe...
Leading lady role you'd like a shot at:
Lizzie in 110 in the Shade. I've had a lot of practice singing "Simple Little Things" alone in my apartment. Should I be admitting this?
Career you would want if not a performer:
House Flipper. Like I said, I watch a LOT of HGTV... and I may be a little over confident in my abilities.
Words of advice for aspiring performers:
Be the actor that you would want to work with.

Activities at Old Stone Fort for the 10t h and 11th of August
\nThis is a list of the weekend activities at O ld Stone Fort for the weekend of August 10th and 11th.
\nSaturday mo rning at 9:15 a.m. visit us in the museum for a kid centered activity lear ning about ancient communication. Watch as the kids create their own stori es using petroglyphs.
\n10:00 a.m. the game chuncky will take place in the maintenance field (the field to the left on Stone Fort Dr. before e ntering the parking area for the museum). Chuncky was a favorite pastime o f the Mississippian people. This competitive game will challenge not only spear throwing\, but also timing and strategy.
\nAt 11:00 a.m. we wi ll meet in front of the museum before heading out to make our own ant farm s. Along the way we will talk about these tiny insects and study them once we find them. This program is open to all however\, supplies are limited so it will be first come first served. This is a perfect opportunity for p arents or grandparents to make something with the kids.
\n1:15 p.m. we will be conducting some amount of trail maintenance. This is open to al l and volunteers are very much appreciated. Come help us preserve this his toric site by taking pride in taking care of the mounds.
\nAfter the trail maintenance at 3:30 come relax and listen to Native American myths\ , legends\, and origin stories passed down through oral traditions of many generations.
\nOn Sunday at 9:30 a.m. there will be a flute demonst ration inside the museum. Come by and visit to hear the sounds of beautifu l music while walking through the museum\; as well as learn the origins of the flute and love songs.
\nA guided tour of the mound trail will b e given at 10:45 a.m. Visitors can come on an interpretive hike of Old Sto ne Fort and learn how the mounds were made and the culture and history beh ind the people who made them.

look: 4 | smell: 4.25 | taste: 4.25 | feel: 3.75 | overall: 4.25
Poured into Boulevard snifter, best before 3/15
A- Pours a bright and clear ruby-orange color with some bubbles shooting to the top, creating a small foamy white head that eventually reduces to a ring around the glass, leaving some short lasting lace behind
S- lactic funk up front with some wet hay and earthy aromas, ripe cherries with a nice oaky undertone with just a trace of bourbon and vanilla
T- puckering lactic sourness up front that is potent, but short lived. Fruity mid-palate notes of cherry, apple and pear. Oaky notes kick in just after with very subtle bourbon that basically just enhances the other flavors around it. Trace of vanilla ,dry linger of cherry juice on a bone dry finish
M- medium body with low carbonation produces a slightly foamy mouthfeel with a slick, dry and tart finish
O- Nice puckering punch up front, mellows out with some fruity notes, and finishes with just enough bourbon flavor to round it out. Really enjoyed it.

Bottle: Poured a hazy amber color ale with a medium size foamy head with OK retention. Aroma of tart notes with some hints of oak with some Brett notes. Taste is a complex mix of tart notes with some Brett notes comprised of barnyard and wet leather notes with some wood noticeable as well. Body is above average with good carbonation and no apparent alcohol. Very complex drink but also able to retain a good drinkability level.

02-06-2013, 03:39 PM #3many years ago I painted some olds steel wheels removed the bright metal sand blasted and then primed and painted with a clear coat. I was quite surprised how well they looked and these wheels held up for a good many years. some of the rims were rusted bad before but it worked out. tires removed and the paint was allowed to harden for a week before tires mounted and balenced.

02-07-2013, 08:23 PM #5I haven't used the black chrome paint yet but have been interested in it. Although I did paint my factory 07+ z71 style wheels black. I didn't go through the sanding process because of all of the detail and I'm a bit lazy. But I did wash degrease and use an adhesion promoter before painting and after a year I only have 1 small chip. And best think about doing it yourself is all I have to do is repair it lol. Anyways of someone uses that duplicolor black chrome paint I would like to know how it turns out

MultiCare Good Samaritan Hospital in Puyallup
Good Samaritan wins national health care construction award
MultiCare Good Samaritan Hospital's Dally Tower recently received the prestigious Vista Award in the category for new construction. The award was presented in San Francisco at the annual International Summit and Exhibition on Health Facility Planning, Design and Construction, hosted by the American Society for Healthcare Engineering.
The award recognizes the importance of teamwork in creating an optimal health care environment on projects that succeed from pre-planning through construction to operation. The $268 million project was completed in 2011 by Skanska USA Building. The 350,000-square-foot patient care tower and medical office building includes 82 beds and shelled space for another 80. It also includes an emergency department, imaging department, surgery department, central utility plant and parking garage.
"We are delighted to be a recipient of the Vista Award. It honors the hard work and dedication of everyone who helped create this beautiful, healing space," said MultiCare Good Samaritan Hospital President Glenn Kasman, FACHE. "Our team's collaboration and focus enhanced safety, comfort, and efficiencies, which allows us to better serve our community ."
Skanska Senior Vice President Mark Howell said, "The entire project team – including the owner, designers and our employees and trade partners – are extremely proud to have our efforts and accomplishments recognized by this award. The Vista Award acknowledges the collaborative spirit we experienced throughout the delivery of the Good Samaritan project."
The team faced challenges ranging from city zoning height limit, an aggressive time schedule, no budget contingency to extreme site conditions. To encourage team building and to keep morale high, regular celebrations such as barbeques were held for the hundreds of design, management, and construction staff.

There is good news, and bad news in today's employment report from the Bureau of Labor Statistics.
The good news is: the healthcare industry added 9,500 jobs in February. The bad news is: healthcare only added 9,500 jobs in February, after two consecutive months of net job losses.
Furthermore, in the past three months, hospitals have shed 10,000 jobs, including 1,200 lost in February.
Ambulatory care is faring a little better, with a net gain of about 8,400 jobs in February, 8,200 of which were in physician offices, and 1,500 were in outpatient care centers.
Even home health care, one of the more rapidly growing sectors of healthcare, lost 3,800 jobs in February.
Clearly, such minimal growth is not enough to compensate for the historic healthcare job losses the previous two months. Even so, the unemployment rate for the healthcare industry is at just 4.0 percent, down from 5.3 percent this time last year. (The nation's overall unemployment rate edged up a bit to 6.7 percent in February.)
Perhaps the tiny bit of healthcare job growth in February is a sign of a little bit of momentum in healthcare hiring? Despite the recent job losses, the healthcare industry still remains one of the largest employment sectors, if not the largest, in the country.

In Chicago and Northern Illinois
In order to make specific information more accessible to consumers, the Chicago and Northern Illinois BBB is providing the below list of currently active Advance Fee Loan scams and check scams. This list will be updated as time goes by with new scams as they come to our attention. Where possible, each listing will link to a corresponding BBB reliability report where consumers may view further information where available. It is of critical importance that consumers understand the following: Most of the names on the list are made up. They are names of non-existent companies created for the purpose of lending legitimacy to an otherwise fraudulent offer. Unfortunately in some cases, scammers will find the name of a legitimate company and act as if they are that legitimate business, for the sole purpose of creating a false sense of credibility. All who view this list should be specifically aware that the below names and phone numbers are pieces of information that have been found on checks sent to consumers, or paperwork accompanying these checks or other scams. Check Scams The check scam attempts to defraud a consumer out of their own funds from a bank account to which they have access. This is accomplished by sending a consumer a check of some sort, which the consumer is asked to deposit in their bank account. There can be any number of justifications for this action. Some examples are:
Once the consumer has deposited this check in their bank account, they are asked to wire funds onward to another person, for various reasons related to the above points, such as mystery shopping, payment of taxes or fees, or to pay "shipping" in an online auction/classifieds overpayment scam. The catch here is that due to various banking practices, it is possible for a check to appear to have "cleared" the bank anywhere from immediately to 10 days later, when in reality the bank is still investigating the check. The end result is that when the bank discovers that the check has no funds behind it, or is a fraudulent check, any funds from that check will be removed from the victim's bank account, leaving the victim responsible for any funds spent, including those sent by wire. This is true even if as a result, the victim's account must become overdrawn by hundreds of dollars. To summarize, the key "red flags" for this scam are: 1) being sent a counterfeit check for any number of reasons, and 2) being asked to deposit this check and send a portion of the funds onward by wire transfer. For more information on this and other similar scams, please visit www.bbb.org Advance Fee Loans The advance fee loan scam is a simple one. In the United States, per Federal law it is illegal for any business to request up front fees for loans. These fees are often referred to by a host of different names, such as taxes, processing fees, insurance, or collateral. Regardless of what they are called, these fees are illegal. The Chicago BBB is aware of many victims of this scam paying their requested advance fee to the scammer. However to date the Chicago and Northern Illinois BBB does now know of a single circumstance where 1) consumers have received their loan, or 2) consumers received their advance fee refunded back to them.
The List
The following is the ongoing list of currently active scams by name. This list will be updated to add new found entities and names, and to remove older inactive entries. Where possible, the name entries link back to the relevant BBB Reliability Report. After the list of names is a list of reported phone numbers.

I took Christopher's kidney, liver & gall bladder and blood stream formula during detoxing. I find that they work quite well and is more gentle on the body. This is probably because it is less potent and is formulated at a time where detox are less important than today and there were less pollutants then. There are other more potent but harsher detox formulas in the market but I prefer a gentler detox. This is nice that most of the ingredients are either organic (no pesticides) or wildcrafted (more potent). The taste is acceptable and not hard to consume with. If used for periodic detoxing, it is best to be taken on empty stomach. For maintenance purpose, you will probably want to take prior to meal like what the instructions mention. Pricewise, it is very cheap and one bottle can last quite long. Check out my page for more reviews!

My grandson, who is handicaped from a near drowning accident, 18 years ago, started passing small kidney stones and something that looked like gravel. We started giving him this kidney formula, magnesium, B-6, Bragg's Apple Cider vinegar and Oil of Oregano. This mixture of ingredients has literally stopped the kidney stone problem. I searched the web for natural things that was good for kidney stones and these are the ones I found.

I have a 16 year old cat who is suffering from kidney failure. We are trying to make her life as pleasant and easy as possible until the time comes that we must euthanize her. We started her on this formula just two days ago and I've already noticed a difference! She has more energy and is drinking more water! Our holistic vet recommended this for our cat, and I can highly recommend it to anybody with a cat who is suffering from kidney failure.

text: content Life Extension Magazine February 2011 Broad-Spectrum Disease Defense with Novel Berry Extract By Kirk Stokel System-wide free radical damage to healthy cells is an age accelerator. In experimental models, when genes are inserted that boost internal defenses against free radicals, life span can be extended by nearly 100%.1-3 The good news is that natural compounds found in certain plants (polyphenols) can exert similar effects in aging humans. They have been shown to favorably modulate gene expression that blunts free radical injury at the molecular level. Among the most powerful of these are anthocyanins. Anthocyanins are pigmentary compounds that lend fruits like grapes, blueberries, and black currants their dark color. Scientists are increasingly focusing on the benefits of one anthocyanin in particular: cyanidin-3-glucoside or C3G.1 Scores of studies in the past two years have established its potent combination of antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, DNA-protective, and gene-regulating effects. In this article, you will learn how C3G's multimodal mechanisms reduce free radical activity. You will find the latest research on its ability to combat numerous age-related conditions, including cancer, heart disease, and metabolic syndrome. You will also discover its newly identified, singular power to enhance night vision. An Exceptional Multitargeted Nutrient Plants are relentlessly exposed to ultraviolet sunrays. To survive this daily onslaught, certain plants produce compounds that specifically reduce free radical damage. These compounds are known as polyphenols, a large class of biologically active molecules.4-6 Polyphenols are chemicals that, by their intrinsic structure, diminish the effects of free radicals on surrounding tissue.5,7 Black Currant The anthocyanin class of polyphenols is especially effective in blunting this form of damage. And C3G is the most common of the anthocyanins found in dark fruits—which come from plants that thrive best in direct sunlight, where free radicals are generated in abundance.8,9 It's no accident, then, that C3G has recently been shown to provide animal and human tissues optimal defense from free radical attack, both by preventing their formation and by scavenging those already formed.7,9-12 What has researchers so interested in C3G, however, is that it also protects from the "downstream" consequences of free radicals at the genetic level. Perhaps the most subtle and intriguing effect of C3G on human tissue is its ability to directly influence gene expression.13 While we carry genes for every protein and structure in our bodies, only a few of those thousands of genes are active at any given moment. C3G selectively upregulates genes that confer protection on aging tissues, while downregulating those that cause damage (such as pro-inflammatory cytokines).14,15 C3G is well-absorbed from the intestinal tract in both animals and humans, and it readily reaches therapeutic levels in the bloodstream.16,17 Anti-Cancer Power High intake of fruits and vegetables is associated with protection from most forms of cancer. One unique mechanism is attributed to the polyphenols in the anthocyanin family.7 These brightly colored molecules, including C3G, afford protection against most of the events in the cascade of cancer formation.18,19 Antioxidant activity supplied by anthocyanins, including C3G, protects DNA from the damage that can initiate cancers.20 Activation of so-called oncogenes (genes that induce cancer-cell reproduction) is another early step in cancer development. C3G potently inhibits a common oncogene called ras in human cells transplanted into rats.21 Suppression of the inflammatory "master switch" that links inflammation to cancer causation (NF-kB) can prevent many of the "second hits" that promote cancer development.22,23 C3G potently inhibits NF-kB in many tumor types.7,24 Once a cancer gets started, it can invade local tissue and/or metastasize into other areas of the body. C3G and other anthocyanins can prevent expression of the proteins that cancer cells produce to help them invade.25,26 The body's own natural defense against cancer is programmed cell death (apoptosis). Anthocyanins such as C3G can upregulate so-called "suicide pathways" that trigger apoptosis in cancer cells, while sparing normal tissue.21,27-31 This can be a key fact that can delay or even eliminate tumor growth. Tumor cells, like all mammalian cells, go through a cycle of changes as they replicate. Anthocyanins can block the cell cycle, causing what amounts to a microscopic traffic jam and preventing cancer cells from proliferating in a coordinated fashion.32 C3G has also been shown to take the "bite" out of cancer cells. Scientists tell us that cancer cells exist in a state known as "undifferentiated." That means that they don't form cohesive and functional structures such as a lung or a liver. C3G has been found to induce normal differentiation of certain cancers, particularly dangerous melanoma cells.33 When cancer cells differentiate, their potential to cause damage is gravely impaired. By all of these different mechanisms, C3G has been shown to impair cancer cell growth, development, and spread in a variety of human cancers in laboratory and animal studies. C3G shows promise in mitigating breast, colon, lung, esophageal, and skin cancers.7,8,24,34,35 System-Wide Cardiovascular Defense Cardiovascular disease continues to be the leading cause of preventable death in older adults. C3G offers protection at several vital levels in the chain of events leading to heart attacks and stroke. Anthocyanins such as C3G inhibit nitrogen free radicals that trigger endothelial dysfunction.36,37 At the same time, C3G promotes healthy endothelial cells, where it contributes to vascular integrity and the ability to respond to blood pressure changes.38 C3G helps reduce cholesterol levels in laboratory studies, thus lowering the risk of lipid oxidation, which triggers inflammation and atherosclerosis.39 Antioxidant benefits of C3G and other anthocyanins help prevent that lipid oxidation, while also preventing the inflammation itself.40 Once atherosclerotic plaques form, C3G can stabilize them and reduce the risk that they'll rupture and cause a catastrophic heart attack or stroke.41 Remarkably, C3G also inhibits the blood pressure-boosting hormone called angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE), which may help keep blood pressure under control.42 What You Need to Know: Disease Defense with Novel Berry Extract Systemic free radical damage is an age accelerator—in experimental models, life span may be boosted by nearly 100% when the organism's internal free radical defenses are genetically enhanced. Among the most potent of external free-radical fighters are anthocyanins, polyphenols (plant-based compounds) abundant in dark fruits and vegetables. The predominant anthocyanin is called C3G, whose myriad health benefits have gained increasing scientific attention. C3G restores normal configuration to retinal proteins damaged by a lifetime's exposure to light and oxidant stress, potentially enhancing night vision. It has powerful anti-cancer effects related to its fundamental and multitargeted control of oxidant stress, inflammation, and cell growth. C3G plays a significant role in improving vascular function and reducing endothelial dysfunction that can lead to stroke and heart attacks. It also operates to minimize the risk of diabetes and metabolic syndrome by blocking intestinal absorption of carbohydrates and improving insulin sensitivity. Continued on Page 2 of 2
