U.N. refugee agency's (UNHCR) special envoy, actress Angelina Jolie, flanked by officials, visits a camp to meet with Syrian refugees in the southeastern Turkish city of Kilis September 13, 2012. REUTERS/Dilek Mermer/Pool
ISTANBUL: Hollywood star Angelina Jolie met with Syrian refugees in Turkey on Thursday to draw attention to the plight of the hundreds of thousands who have fled their nation's civil war.
The trip by Jolie, who is a special envoy for the U.N. refugee agency, comes as Turkey grows increasingly concerned that the number of registered Syrian refugees on its soil - about 80,000 - is becoming difficult to manage.
Turkey has also been frustrated in attempts to persuade the international community to help set up safe havens for Syrian civilians inside Syria.
Jolie and Antonio Guterres, the U.N. high commissioner for refugees, met privately with refugees at two camps near the Syrian border. Jolie's two-day itinerary in Turkey was also to include a stop in Ankara, the capital, for talks with officials including President Abdullah Gul.
Jolie said the refugees had told her they were grateful to Turkey for its help. "And they are very, very emotional and very deeply saddened by the situation in Syria and very concerned about their families and their friends in their country," the actress said.
Earlier this week, Jolie and Guterres visited Syrian refugees in Jordan, which is also sheltering those who have fled the 18-month-long conflict in neighboring Syria. Guterres said the sheer number of refugees is taking a toll on Jordan's economy and resources.
The U.N. refugee agency has said the number of Syrian refugees seeking its help now tops a quarter-million - and could be far higher. Activists estimate some 23,000 people have been killed in the bloodshed in Syria since March 2011.
Turkey, which supports the Syrian opposition in its fight against President Bashar Assad's regime, has maintained what it calls an "open door" policy for Syrians fleeing the violence. Turkey has spent more than $300 million on the refugee crisis and is building three new camps, raising the total number of camps to 14.
Several thousand Syrians have been stranded on the Syrian side of the border this month, barred from entering Turkey while they await transfer to the new camps.

Title: Mouse Models For Studying The Role Of Inflammation in AMD Non-Technical Title: Mouse Models For Studying Factors That Control Inflammation in AMD
Duration: July 1, 2012 - June 30, 2015 Award Type: Standard Award Amount: $100,000
Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is thought to result from abnormalities of the retinal pigment epithelium (RPE), the cell layer that nourishes and detoxifies the retina. Chronic inflammation is a major underlying condition of aging, taking its toll on many organs. Various environmental stimuli, such as oxidative stress and inflammatory molecules, converge upon a critical master regulator of inflammation. However, the specific roles of chronic inflammation and its master-regulator protein in the RPE and AMD are still unknown. Therefore, Dr. Noriko Esumi and colleagues propose to engineer two new types of mice to address the biological role of this inflammation master regulator and its key partner in the RPE, and to ultimately evaluate whether targeting these inflammation proteins is a possible strategy for AMD treatment or prevention.
Chronic inflammation is thought to be an important underlying condition of aging and many age-related diseases, including AMD; but it is not known specifically how chronic inflammation ages the RPE, essentially tipping the scales toward developing AMD. Dr. Noriko Esumi and colleagues will provide two new types of engineered mice to study the involvement of inflammation in aging of the RPE and how this might lead to AMD. The first aim of the study involves making a mouse in which the master regulator of inflammation can be blocked at desired times for a desired duration in the RPE by giving the mouse a drug. The second aim of the study involves making another mouse in which the second protein that controls the master regulator of inflammation can be expressed at higher levels at desired times for a desired duration in the RPE. For both types of mice, Esumi's team will check whether the introduced genes are expressed and activated by the drug. Then, this team will begin to test whether the changes in gene expression can protect the RPE cells from oxidative stress.
Most previous studies to understand the role of inflammation have been conducted using cultured RPE cells for short-term observation, not with live animals for long-term analyses. Therefore, this project is unique in three specific ways: 1) it provides for the first time tools for studying the role of inflammation and its critical regulators in the RPE cells of live animals; 2) the gene of interest in the mice can be induced at desired times for a desired duration by giving a drug, and therefore can be reversed; and 3) one of the regulators is clearly a new player in studies of RPE and AMD. Depending on the results of this study, the master regulator and its modulators could be great candidates for new drugs to treat or prevent AMD.
Dr. Noriko Esumi is an Assistant Professor of Ophthalmology at the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine. She completed her doctoral studies, both M.D. and Ph.D., in Japan and started her career as a Japanese pediatric oncologist. Because she quickly realized the importance of biomedical research for improving treatment of patients, she decided to devote herself to basic research in the U.S. Esumi's laboratory aims to increase understanding of the physiology and disease of the retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) at the molecular level. She is interested in the process of RPE aging and, therefore, particularly in the pathophysiology of age-related macular degeneration (AMD). In addition to her current BrightFocus award, Esumi was previously awarded a BrightFocus-MDR grant as well as NIH R01 and R21 grants.

Through careful design we aim to make our products intuitive to use and with our custom 'RotoDial' controller all R4i functions can be easily controlled. Exclusively for R4i we've taken our RotoDial concept a stage further so it can be detached and also function as a fantastic hand held remote-control. With its tactile design, it sits comfortably in the hand and sitting on your coffee table it will be a guaranteed talking point.
R4i's slot loading CD player plays standard music CDs and will also play CD-Rs encoded with WAV, MP3 or WMA music files. With the aid of a computer and suitable program, users can create MP3 playlists and record CDs that will play for many hours. As an alternative we've also provided a USB port which will play back MP3 audio files downloaded onto USB flash memory sticks.
On the rear panel we've provided two pairs of high quality phono sockets. The first provides output for recording or hook-up to secondary systems and the second provides an additional input for the connection of a TV or for devices such as a Bluetooth adaptor, so music can be wirelessly streamed to R4i. In this respect we highly recommend the QED uPlay Bluetooth Receiver which you can purchase directly from our website. With a range of up to 10m uPlay allows you to stream music with clarity from most Smart Phones and Tablets to R4i.
Behind R4i's RotoDial dock we've provided an integrated iPod Dock which supports and charges all iPod models produced from January 2004 to September 2012. For later iPod/iPhone models with Lightning connector we've created an adaptor called LAS which combines seamlessly with R4i for a totally unified look. Find out more about LAS. For customers not wanting iPod integration, R4i comes supplied with a clip in cover to keep the top panel looking clean and tidy.
From our years spent designing high-end loudspeakers we understand the importance of cabinet and drive unit design to create a good sound, free from colouration and distortion. The enclosure of R4i is hand-crafted from materials chosen for their exceptional acoustic properties and likewise our drive units are carefully designed and constructed to allow optimum dynamics with a smooth natural frequency response.
Most compact systems use amplifier chipsets for simplicity and cost, but for R4i we developed our own Class A-B amplifier system using discrete component technology. This complex technique is usually only found in prestige, high value audio separates.

Simply put, water is essential to all forms of known life. We drink it, bath in it, fish in it, grow our crops with it, and generate power from it. It covers two-thirds of the surface of the earth and comprises 75 percent of the human body.
And yet, the future of the world's most basic resource is changing in unprecedented ways. Immigration, population growth, and climate change are affecting the way we all think about our relationship with the world's water supply. And by 2050, when the world's population is expected to peak at about 9.4 billion people, it is conceivable that water could become one of the scarcest and most valuable commodities in the world.
Despite this, there is already enough water on the planet to
serve humanity's needs. In fact, there are 2 trillion liters of fresh water for every man, woman and child on Earth. And each of us only needs less than three liters a day. Therefore, what we have is not a shortage of fresh water. What we have is a management problem, one that requires us all to get smarter about how water is used; individuals, governments, and industry.
Over the course of 2008, the GIO explored this critical topic with some of the world's leading experts. We learned that there is a dearth of high quality data to inform better decisions on water management; that accurate pricing and business models are needed to encourage efficiency; and that food, energy, and water share a complex and delicate balance. More details on these findings and the ways to address them can be found in the Water report, the accompanying videos, and the GIO blog.

Collier sheriff seeks public's help with tips in 1993 shooting death at restaurant
NAPLES - Anyone with information about this case is asked to call the Collier County Sheriff's Office at (239) 793-9300, or call Crime Stoppers at (800) 780-TIPS (8477) to remain anonymous.
Two men walked in the back door of a North Naples fast food restaurant in 1993, looking to rob the safe.
But when the assistant manager fumbled the code, he was fatally shot in the head.
The pair fled empty-handed. No arrests were made, no suspects named. The case remains cold.
"Tips are the only thing that will take this (case) in a new direction," said Steve Spell, the Collier County Sheriff's Office detective assigned to the case.
Investigators are looking for new leads to move the case forward. It's a long shot, Spell said, but without additional information, the case will remain as it has for nearly 19 years — unresolved.
Timothy Gorsich, 26, was the assistant manager working at the Long John Silver's, then at Pine Ridge Road and U.S. 41, on May 4, 1993.
Another employee was taking out the garbage around 10 p.m. when he saw two men put on black masks and enter through the back of the restaurant, according to the sheriff's report.
One of the men drew a gun; the cook escaped out the drive-thru window, Spell said.
The robbers ordered the other employees to the floor and Gorsich to open the safe. He knelt but messed up when turning the dial. Shots were fired, and the employees saw Gorsich fall to the ground.
Emergency responders transported him to what is now NCH Downtown Naples Hospital, where he died the following afternoon.
A woman picking up a meal at the drive-thru with her 2-year-old son saw the robbers flee. One was large and husky, the other smaller, possibly in his late-teens.
If you have information about any cold cases in Southwest Florida, contact your local law enforcement agency.
■ Collier County Sheriff's Office — (239) 252-9300
■ Lee County Sheriff's Office — (239) 477-1000
■ Naples Police and Fire Department — (239) 213-4844
■ Marco Island Police Department — (239) 389-5050
■ Fort Myers Police Department — (239) 321-7700
■ Crime Stoppers — 1-800-780-TIPS (8477)
The smaller man hit her with what the woman described as a metal pipe. One of the men no longer had a mask on, and she gave investigators enough information to generate a composite sketch of the man.
The pair then disappeared. They ran behind the neighboring bowling alley, but a search of the area by deputies yielded no clues in the attempted robbery and homicide.
"If we got (new) information about a vehicle, even which direction they went in, we'd be happy at this point," Spell said.
Initially, investigators believed the men could be from the Fort Myers area.
They aren't interviewing victims and witnesses again, Spell said. To move forward in the case, he added, the Sheriff's Office needs someone to come forward with new information.
One suspect is described as a black male, 15-17 years old, 5 feet 8 inches, 150 pounds. He was wearing a blue shirt and blue jeans. Witnesses said the second man was also black — 6-feet 1-inch, 250 pounds with a muscular build, wearing a white shirt and blue jeans.
The case remains under investigation. Anyone with information is asked to call the Collier County Sheriff's Office at (239) 252-9300, or to remain anonymous, call Crime Stoppers at 1-800-780-TIPS (8477).

Mummy that little girl said I was a little girl but I'm not a little girl, I'm a little lady!
Mummy, where was I when you and Daddy had your marrying day?
Well you hadn't been born yet sweetie?
But where was I?
I don't know love, you weren't there and you weren't even in my tummy yet.
It's all right Mummy, I think I was with gran and grandad.
On shoe laces:
Mummy can you help do my tyres up?
On supervising her father's tv watching:
Daddy, is that 'propriate for you?
(he was watching the Tour de France!)
Mummy, are you writing down what I'm saying?
Mummy: who's in Mummy's tummy?
Elma: Bay-bee!
Mummy: And what shall we call the baby if it's a baby sister?
Elma: Minnie-Mou!
Mummy: And how about if it's a boy?
Kitty: Mickey Mouse!
Some days I go to school, but some days I don't go to school!
(I think we mean nursery – at least unless there's something I really don't know about!)
On dictating her cousin's graduation card:
Dear love [cousin]. Dear love on your grandution. Love [Kitty]

- An epilepsy syndrome is defined by a group of features usually occuring together.
- The syndromes give information about types of seizures commonly seen, usual course, what to expect and much more.
- This description also provides information on what medicine and other treatments may be helpful
When a disorder is defined by a characteristic group of features that usually occur together, it is called a syndrome. These features may include symptoms, which are problems that the patient will notice. They also may include signs, which are things that the doctor will find during the examination or with laboratory tests. Doctors and other health care professionals often use syndromes to describe a person's epilepsy.
Epilepsy syndromes are defined by a cluster of features. These features may include:
- The type or types of seizures
- The age at which the seizures begin
- The causes of the seizures
- Whether the seizures are inherited
- The part of the brain involved
- Factors that provoke seizures
- How severe and how frequent the seizures are
- A pattern of seizures by time of day
- Certain patterns on the EEG, during and between seizures
- Brain imaging findings, for example, MRI or CT scan
- Genetic information
- Other disorders in addition to seizures
- The prospects for recovery or worsening
Not every syndrome will be defined by all these features, but most syndromes will be defined by a number of them. Classifying a person's epilepsy as belonging to a certain syndrome often provides information on what medications or other treatments will be most helpful. It also may help the doctor to predict whether the seizures will go into remission (lessen or disappear).

World Agroforestry Centre
|This article does not cite any references or sources. (December 2013)
The World Agroforestry Centre (known as the International Centre for Research in Agroforestry, ICRAF before 2002), is an international institute headquartered in Nairobi, Kenya, and founded in 1978. The Centre specializes in the sustainable management, protection and regulation of tropical rainforest and natural reserves. It is one of 15 agricultural research centres which makes up the global network known as the CGIAR (Consultative Group on International Agricultural Research). The Centre conducts research in agroforestry, in partnership with national agricultural research systems with a view to developing more sustainable and productive land use. The focus of its research is countries/regions in the developing world, particular in the tropics of Central and South America, Southeast Asia and parts of central Africa. The Centre also organises group training courses on agroforestry information management for the library and information personnel of collaborating institutions.
In 2002 the Centre acquired the World Agroforestry Centre brand name, although International Centre for Research in Agroforestry remains its legal name and it continues to use the acronym ICRAF.

Economic Outlook 2008: Darkening Clouds
Presidential election years usually are not recessionary but next year will be an exception. Several economic factors are colliding in an almost perfect storm to markedly slow the general economy and the stock market. Unfortunately, we will not be able to "inflate" our way out of this recession this time. We will simply have to take our lumps and let market forces liquidate the bulk of the malinvestments caused by the unprecedented Greenspan money bubble. This liquidation process will not be pretty but it is necessary to restore a sustainable economic recovery in the years ahead. FULL ARTICLE

We like this satisfying meal-in-one stew we learned in Tajikistan. Potatoes, carrots, and tomatoes give variety of taste and texture to the main event, a spiced combination of mung beans (yellow dal) and long-grain rice. Mashkichiri is quick and easy to prepare once the mung beans have soaked, and all too easy to eat in large quantities when accompanied by plenty of yogurt. Serve it as a simple meal in one, or serve with kebabs and a side dish of something crunchy, like sliced cucumbers or radishes, or Persian pickled radish.
The winter version of this dish would have no tomatoes, and would use more carrots and onions instead. Winters in Central Asia are harsh, and there are few fresh vegetables to be had. Root vegetables, which can be stored and used when other vegetables are available, aren't an important part of the winter diet.
YIELD: Serves 4
In a large heavy pot, heat the oil or fat until very hot. Add the onions, lower the heat to medium, and cook, stirring occasionally, until lightly golden, about 10 minutes. Add the potatoes and carrots and cook, stirring occasionally, for 10 minutes.
Stir in the tomatoes, then add the cumin, chile, salt, and pepper and stir well. Add 2 cups of the boiling water or stock and bring to a boil. Let boil vigorously for several minutes, then stir in the dal. Once the mixture has again returned to the boil, lower the heat, cover, and simmer until the mung beans are tender, 30 to 40 minutes, stirring every 10 minutes or so to prevent sticking. Add more boiling water or stock if necessary.
When the beans are done, stir in the cooked rice. The mixture should be moist; add a little hot water or stock if necessary. Taste for seasoning. Serve hot, garnished with sprigs of fresh mint (if available) and accompanied by plain yogurt.
Alternative: An Uzbek version of this stew includes lamb: Cut 1/2 pound lean lamb into small cubes. Add the meat several minutes after you begin sautéing the onions. You may wish to increase the salt and pepper.
